Efforts to Reinstate High Boots

The Young Fox Catches a
Dinner.
To patience add q little wit,
And see how splendidly they fit.

Not once while Farmer Browns
Bows hens were outside the henyard
that first day did the young Fox show
himself after his first attempt to
catch one. You see, he didn't want to
be seen by those hens. He knew that
If they once saw him nothing would
tempt them to come near the place
where he was a prisoner. He thought
them very stupid birds, but he knew
that they were not so stupid as not to
know Fox when they saw one.
So all the time they were outside
about the barnyard, the young Fox
kept inside the box which was his
| home. He hoped that one might come
within jumping distance of his door
way. But none did. He was disap-
pointed However, he had hopes.
Yes. sir, that young Fox had hopes.
He had thought of plan which might
bring those hens within jumping dis
tance some other time.
The next morning the young Fox
did not eat all the food Farmer
Browns Boy left for him. Some
scraps he left in his dish. The rest
of that day he spent watching the
nenyard and hoping and hoping that
Farmer Browns Boy would let those
hens out again. But Farmer Browns
Boy didn't do anything of the kind.
and so when night came the young
Fox ate up the scraps and licked his
dish clean. The next day and the
day after he did the same thing.
But on the fourth day he saw
Farmer Browns Boy go over to the
nenyard. At once the young Fox hur-
ried inside his house and lay down
where he could peek out and watch.
He saw Farmer Browns Boy throw

they had been shut up for several
days they were glad to get out. They

time than 1t takes to tell 1t half a
dozen hens were running for that
dish.
The eyes Of the young Fox glowed
with excitement He was sure now
Of one Of those hens. But before try
ing to catch one he made sure that
Farmer Browns Boy was not about.
He felt 1t in his bones that it would
be well If Farmer Browns Boy should
not see him try to catch one of those
hens. So while the hens were greed

and snatching at the scraps of food
the young Fox carefully and noise

Browns Boy. He was nowhere to be
seen. There was no one to be seen
excepting those greedy hens.
Inch by inch, hugging the ground,
the young Fox crept out of his box.
Then there was a sudden swift spring
and before she could even squawk
once a fat hen had been seized by
the neck. OF course, the other hens
squawked. My, my. my, should say
they did! Such a racket as they made
as they ran pell nell in all directions!
Without a moments pause the young
Fox had carried his prize into his
house.

Corn Bread.

When I was young and sometimes

corn bread. In those days we always
began proceedings by building a mud
oven. Now I believe portable ovens
are convenient and cheap. In any
event, the following is my recipe: Two
cups Of -four, three cups OF corn meal,
four heaping teaspoonfuls Of baking
powder, two eggs, well beaten; one
teaspoonful Of salt, one tablespoonful
of granulated sugar. one generous
pint Of milk and two tablespoonfuls
Of melted Crisco or lard. Do not scald
the corn meal
Mix the meal with flour, baking
powder. salt and sugar, beat the eggs
until they are light and add the milk
and eggs to the other ingredients.
Beat the whole until 1t is smooth and
light-about one minute. Finally add
the melted lard. Pack into shallow
creased pan and bake In q hot oven
for twenty five minutes.

RACIAL oRIoIN-irish and Scottish.
SouRcE-A~aIven name.
This group Of family names, which
shows such wide variations, is more
frequently found among those Of
Irish ancestry than among the Scots,
though there are septs of no less
than three Scottish clans which bear
the names Mac1vor and MacIver.
These clans are Robertson, Campbell
and Mackenzie.
The name is moro properly spelled
"MacIomhair" in the Gaelic, but 1t
tongue the aspirated I'm" is pro-
nounced approximately like "v."
The clan name is taken from the
given name of "Iomhar" Cor lvar). a
compound of two Irish words, "iom
and "ar," meaning much slaughter
with the given name of "Ivo." once
widespread through England. but
now surviving only in few family
names.
The Irish clan name "MacIomhair"
traces back to a chieftain who was
the great-grandson of the MAC
Dubhghail" (MacDougalD who was
king of the isles in 1144 and who
came from that Irish stock to which
most of the Highland Scottish blood
traces back.
The forms Of Emer. Emerson and
Howard (when the last is not from
another source) are only anglicized
corruptions of the Irish clan name.
The Scottish MacIvors in some
cases trace back to the Irish clan,
and in others have derived their name
from other individuals who bore the
given name of "Iomhar."
