I'll try to dispose of anything that's left over. How about that bit of hon. ey that you haven't touched yet? Shall l eat it for youo"
 "No, thank you." said Mrs. Bear. I'm saving that for my dessert"
 MT Bear eyed the honey longingly. He had already finished his own.
 There's a great deal of talk these days about reducing ones weight" he observed Sweets are very fatten- ing. Do you think you ought to eat that honey?"
 "Yes. do," Mrs. Bear replied, all most snappishly. -
 "Oh, very well." her husband said with sigh. Where are the chill dren now?"
 They're off ir the woods, play them; but they said they weren't hungry"
 If they come home, don't let them disturb me" /" MT. Bear ordered with a yawn, for I'm going to take a nap" "
 He was soon fast asleep And not finding his company very interesting. Mrs Bear set out to seek her chill dren No matter what their father said, she was alarmed because they wouldn't eat.
 She hadn't gone far when she heard noises that told her Cpffy and Silkie were near. A blue jay was scoldinE. gray squirrel was chatterins an grily. Mrs, Bear turned toward these sounds, coming out soon into an old clearing that was now filing up with Xoune growth There. in a clustr Of trees. were her two youngsters They were eating the dark. puckery, bitter fruit, while the blue jay and the squirrel called them
 Children. Children Come down out of that tree this instant" Mrs Bear called
 They looked flown with great cur prise at their mother: then began to scramble to the ground
 Its no wonder that you don't eat at home" said Mrs Fear severely Don't climb that tree again."
 "Yes. Mother" Cuffy and Silkie thanted soemly
 Mrs. Bear then turned her steps honeward
 T thought there must be some good reason why the children didf't like their meals" she said to Mfr. Bear when he awoke from his nap. T

caught them eating chokeeherrles, They'd soon have made themselves ill."
 Where are they now'" he asked, T left them over in the old clear Ing"
 How do you know they won't eat more?" he inquired.
 T can trust them to obey me-" said Mrs, Bear proudly,
 Little did she think that at that very moment Cuffy and silkie were bpsily stutfing themselves with the for bidden fruit. No sooner had Mrs, Fear left them than Cuffy began to climb a chokecherry tree.
 Mother said not to do that" sikie reminded him.
 She said not to climb that tree over there" he retorted, pointing to one in which they were perched when their mother found them. This is another tree" said Cuffy, T hope you don't think I would disobey my mother"
 Ills remarks pleased silkie. There was something about those chokecher- ries that made a person want to eat more and more of them. Quickly she joined her brother.
 The sun was sinking when Mrs. Bear heard q wall and hurried to her door. She beheld Cutty and silkie dragging themselves up the steep side of the mountain. looking very woebe. gone.
 What's the natter" she called
 We have a pain" said Cuiy.
 And a cramp," Silkie added.
 There I feared you'd be ill.," cried Mrs, Bear You didn't eat any more of those chokecherries, did you?"
 "only a few." Cutfy answered.
 What! After my warning?"
 You said not to climb that tree again" cuffy replied. We only climbed other trees"
 By this time silkie was whimper- ing. And they both looked 50 naiAer. able that Mrs. Bear hadn't the heart 10 scold them She told them to come in and lie down and go to sleep, and knowing that they wouldn't be able to eat a nouthful of supper. she pre-. pared meal that was only half the usual size.
 When Mir Bear saw 1t he looked very Elun1.
 What If company should come at the very last moment" he asked hi. wife. There wouldn't be anything left to give them"
 We never have company" said Mrs Bear
 But we might have some" he re- torted. Besides, I've been looking forward to big meal tonight, for thought I'd have to eat the chill drens share"
 He looked very, very glur. Copyright 1922 by Metropolitan

 Housewives make a great mistake in allowing themselves to become so weak and nervous that it is well-nigh impos- sible for them to attend to their neces- sary household duties.
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound should be taken when you first notice such symptoms as nervousness, backache, weakness and irregularlty. It will help you and prevent more serious trouble. Give it fair trial. It surely helped Mrs. Hatfield, justas ithas many, many other women.

Mike and Tony

Thomas Kennedy, spokesman FOR
the anthracite coal miners, has fatty
refused 70 submit the miners wage
demands to arbitration.
Mike McComas is a day laborcr
in one Of the Pennsylvania mines.
He gets IS or more a day for an
eight-hour day and is dissatisfied be-
cause he secs other miners working
no harder or longer, but doing skilled
labor. receiving more.
Tony Caraccio is a day laborer in
New York. lie swings a pick or lifts
a shovel and is stared at by loungers
as he bends his back under the
watchful eye Of a boss who knows
from experience all the tricks Of
loafng on a job. Tony gets 81 for
bis hot days work. He has a large
family in a crowded fat. for which
he pays a third more than Mike
pays down in Pennsylvania for bet
ter quarters. Tony also pays more
for food and his other expenses are
higher.
Last winter Tony paid nearly SO
a ton Tor his coal, and now hears he
may soon have TO pay SIS, and per-
haps 500, and even S25, and at that
count himself lucky 20 get any. The
extra, he learns. is for his friend
Mike-to give him, say, SO day.
Now, Tony is no fool. lie is aware
that final buyer Of necessaries pays
an preceding costs. What does he
think, then, Of efforts to assess him
to add to incomes already larger
than his own? Is it strange he
turns away when soap boxers shout
the word solidarity" at him?
Tony asks with Touchdown di-
rectness where is the justice Of
Mikes insistencc on higher pay when
the burden must chiefly fall on
underpaid fellow workers. The
masses, much more than the classes,
pay when the price Of anthracite
roal is boosted, as 10 must be and
will be II the Kennedy demand for
wages arbitrated Upward is yielded
10. Much has been said Of the rights
and hardships Of Mike. is it not
time TO glance at least at the rights
and hardships Of Tony?

A Substantial Brain

A well known educator, speaking
at Rutgers College, announces sol
emily that Mr.. Babe" Ruth, the
widely known "King Of Swat" is a
menace 20 the American brain. He
thinks, apparently that unless some
thing is done TO remove the baleful
influence that the "Babe" wields over
American youth the future will find
our young manhood mentally de-
fcient.
From time to time other educators
have feared the same influence by
other national heroes, such as John
Lawrence Sullivan, Robert Fitzsim-
mons and Tyrus Raymond Cobb.
But the American brain is Of
pretty tough fiber. Only Thursday
night there must have been several
tons Of it engaged in reacting at
Boyle's Thirty Acres, where two
young men were engaged in clouting
each other with all they had.
None Of these brains is likely TO
give out any sooner because Of that
evenings occupation. In fact, there
are many Of them which yesterday
were engaged in creating fortunes,
or writing fiction, or trying law
cases, or even seeking a solution Of
the strike problems.
Americans are addicted TO en-
thusiasms, and all these enthusiasms
have not been for the art Of Meis-
sonier, the music Of Gueg or the
writings Of Ralph Waldo Emerson.
But they mostly come cut well IN
the end, and no case Of brain degen-
eracy, so far as We can learn from
the alienists, has been caused by get
ting worked up over a baseball
player or a prizefghter
