there he had done all he could. and
he was quite satisfied to leave the
matter to Farmer Browns boy.
"A hunter has made that blind to
shoot black Ducks FROM" thought
Farmer Browns boy, land he has

fly. but If they have been coming in
here every evening and finding corn
and no sign of danger they probably
have got SO that they think 1t per-
fectly safe here and come straight in
without being at all suspicious. To-
ter will be waiting for them.
Il guess the law that permits
hunting Ducks is all right. but there
ought to be a law against batting
them in. That isn't hunting. No, sir.
that isn't hunting. II this land was

that this was private property and no
shooting was allowed. But it isn't
my fathers land, and that hunter has
a perfect right to shoot here. He
has just as much right here as I
have. wish 1 could stop him. but I
don't see how I can"
A frown puckered the freckled face
Of Farmer Browns boy. You see. he
was thinking very hard, and when he
does that he is very apt to frown.
II suppose" he muttered, Il can
tear down his blind. He wouldn't
know who did it. But that wouldn't
other. Besides. it wouldn't be right.
He has a perfect right to make a
blind here, and. having made it, 1t is
his. and haven't any right to touch
it. l won't do a thing l haven't a
right 10 do. That wouldn't be honest.
I've got to think Of some other way
The frown on his freckled face
grew deeper, and for long time he
sat without moving. Suddenly his
face cleared and he jumped to his
feet. He began to chuckle.
II have it," he exclaimed. It'll do
a little shooting myself"'
Then he chuckled again and started
for home. Presently he began to
whistle. a way he has when he Is in
good spirits.
Blacky the Crow watched him go
and Blacky was we'll satisfied. He
didn't know what Farmer Browns
feeling he was planning to do some
thing and that all would be well.
Perhaps Blacky wouldn't have felt so
sure could he have understood what
Farmer Browns boy had said about
doing a little shooting himself.
As 1t was, Blacky few OF about his
own business quite satisfied that now
all would be well and he need worry
no more about those Ducks. None of
the little people Of the Green Forest
and the Green Meadows knew Farmer
Browns boy better than did Blacky
the Crow None knew better than he
that Farmer Browns boy was their
best friend.
TT is all right now" chuckled
BIacky. ITS all right now. And
as the CHEEKY whistle Of Farmer
Browns boy fioated back to him on
the Merry Little Breeze he repeated it:
"It is all right now"

Nor is this idea confined to litera-

old mother or the husband of your
youth because she or he are stumbling

and straightway steps on the nearest

Now don't think that selfshness is
like Damascus steel, no matter how
cultured it's aims. I think it's like a
pig. 1 know of nothing more in
nately vulgar or revolving than
selfishness. You may camoufage it
with beauty, refinement, power. wis
DON'T still remains grunting
thing at trough.
I'll admit unselfishness is seldom
comfortable. Theoretically, it should
produce glow of Righteousness,
Practically, 1t makes most of US irri-
table while we're transacting il. We
may act like saints, but we can never
feel like them while it's going on.
But when it's all over we feel cleaner
and more fit for having done it that
way. We have kept faith with our
humanity. We can still make faces
at the pigs. And as long as we can
do that say it's worth the price.

Things You'll Like
to Make
Cut KID n

Kid trimming is quite the mode.
Therefore. make a cut kid collar and
cuff set for your new flannel or silk
blouse. Cut the collar and cuffs the
shape you want. On the wrong side
of the kid mark off scallops three
inches across the tops. Above each
scallop mark off a one-inch square.
Cut the scallops with a pair of scis-
sors. but the squares are cut out with
a sharp-pointsd knife. This set
looks stunning4f pieces of silk of a
bright color that contrasts with that
of the blouse are pasted under the
cut-out squares. (Use some sort of
white paste and be careful 1t is not
too wet or the kid will shrink.) A
cut kid collar and cuff set like this
makes a most acceptable Christmas
gift. FLORA.

OcALLAHAN ORDERED OUT;
 CASE WILL BE CONTESTED

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 13- Acting Secretary of State Davis has requested Secretary of Labor Wilson to obtain the deportation of Stowaway O'Callahan, lord mayor of Cork, who arrived at Newport News several days ago in the hold of an incoming vessel. Davis quotes as his authority the Presidents pro- ciamation of 1918, in which the state department is designated as the one to decide whether an alien, under the passport regulations, can be deported.
 Immediately upon being informed of the action of the head of the state department, counsel for the lord mayor announced that the mat ter would be contested in the courts. As preliminary to the main legal battle, the attorney for the stowaway called at the department of labor today and formally enter ed a claim for the rights of politi-
 cal refugee, notwithstanding the fact
 that Acting Secretary Davis has al-
 ready ruled that O'Callahan is not a refugee.
 O'Callahan appeared before the Committee of One Hundred today for the purpose of telling of con- ditions in Ireland. He declared that the killing of Lord Mayor Mac Swiney and other Irish leaders last March marked the beginning of 3 reign of murder in Ireland which rendered life and property inse-
