struck the ground and rolled some
more until he went splash in the
muddy pond at the foot of the hill.
Mr.. Bear awoke. for Mr.. Fox made a
terrible racket on the roof trying to
save himself. But before Mr.. Bear
could get to the window he heard
some scrambling on the roof and a
bang on the ground and then all was
still.
He hurried to the window and
looked out, and in the moonlight he
saw at the foot Of the hill two muddy
objects swinging their paws about in
very angry manner. He could not
make out who they were at first. but
after while Mr.. Bear saw it was Mr..
Fox and Mr.. 'Possum.
Mr.. 'Possum had been the one who
had visited Mr. Bears house so often,
and one night he had met Mr.. Fox
just as he was coming away with a
basketful of pies and cakes. There
is plenty more,' he told Mr.. Fox. you
meet me tomorrow night and | will
show you how to get in"
But Mr. Fox did not care to be
shown; he wanted to get there first
and take his pick of things, and he did
arrive first, so by the time Mr.. 'Possum
rolled off the roof and landed in the
pond Mr.. Fox was just coming out OF
the muddy water
Mr.. 'Possum could not stop to be
polite; he was rolling fast; and he
gave Mr.. Fox bump, and back they
both fell into the muddy pond.
what do you mean by knocking me
over?" inquired Mr.. Fox angrily as he
shook himself
"What do you mean by pulling me
into that muddy water?' asked Mr..
'Possum as he crawled up the bank
and just as Mr.. Bear looked out OF
his window they began to quarrel.
"Ah, two of themr said Mr.. Bear.
Il will give them a good beating"
He was almost down the hill when

THE Latin adjective mirandus Is re-
l. snonsiblc for the existence CT
charming Miranda, name forever as
ISOLATED with poetic fancy. Miranda
signifies admirable" or worthy to be
admired" and, aside from it's har-
monte syllables, claims the right to
fame through the kindly offices OF
Shakespeare.
When the master dramatist wrote
.aThe Tempest" he called his beau
tiful and modest heroine, daughter of
prospero. Miranda. She it was who,
brought up on a desert island with
the delicate spirit Arie' and the saw
400 and deformed Caliban as her only
companions, became the object of the
love Of Ferdinand, son of the King of
Nanles. who was shipwrecked on the
island.
The exquisite love story which the
noet 6ramatist wove about the young
connie and the efforts of the young
prince to prove the sincerity of his de
votion by performing the lowest
mental tasks prescribed by Prospero,
has made the name of Miranda one
of tbe love heroines of history. She
ranks with Dante's Beatrice and
petrarch's Laura.
The pearl is Miranda's talismanic
gem. 1t signifies the modesty, charm

TOO MUCH TALK
BY u1ALTER |.
] ROBINSON

TOO much talk is dangerous.
Perhaps this is what an editor
recently had in mind when he de-
clared:
"When talk is loose and money
tight, there must be something wrong,
all right"
During the period of readjustment,
there undoubtedly was great deal of
hardship Of which little or nothing was
heard. But just the same there was
considerable more talk than was for
the best interests of the public.
No matter how bad anything may be,
constant complaining about it will
usually make it worse. The more one
thinks or talks Of his ills or disappoint-
ments the less time he'll have to con-
slider or discuss constructive plans.
Furthermore, to parade misfortunes
before the world is likely to turn 9th
ers' thoughts in the wrong direction
and scatter the sunshine before it has
a chance to shine long enough on a
single pathway to make it cheerful
and smooth.
1t is always inimical to the COM
mon good to talk sadness. Far better
to sift out the happiness, no matter
how scarce it may be, for there never
can be too much.
There probably is nothing more con-
tagious than "hard luck" talk. Though
business men continually claim to be

MT R. BEARS house stood on the side
AVA of hill. The chimney was close
to the hill and then the roof slanted,
and this just suited the plan which
Mr.. Bear had thought out to punish
the one who had climbed up to the
chimney and slid down into his pan
try several nights and carried off his
pies and cakes.
At the foot of the hill was a
muddy pond, and that also suited the
plan Mr. Bear had: for once any one
started rolling down the roof of his
house, Mr.. Bear knew they would keep
right on until they landed in the
muddy pond below.
Mr.. Bear was very sound sleeper,
and though he had tried very hard
TO keep awake at night and catch the
thief he had not been able to do so.
And once Mr.. Bear was asleep, the

Mr.. Fox and Mr.. 'Possum saw him
They stopped wrangling, and, lodging
and ducking, they ran by him and up
the hill. But as they passed the
house Mr.. Fox saw the roof, and he
knew what had happened.
Mr.. Bear was bothered no more.
His pantry was as well filed in the
morning as when he went to bed, for
Mr.. 'Possum and Mr.. Fox were cured
of their longing for Mr.. Bears pies

And so Mr. Bear had thought hard

That night he did not try to keen

BODY unknown MAN
FOUND NEAR DUBLIN
Coroner Unable To Discover
Cause Of DeatI1--No Sign
Of Violence

DUBLIN Feb. 10.-An unidenti-
fed white mans body was found ly-
ING out in a recently cleared field
Yesterday afternoon by negro boy
gathering up wood about three miles
from Dublin. An investigation by
the coroner revealed nothing more
thanfhat he was unknown, and came
to his death from unHnown causes.
Evidetly the man had been dead
for at least ten days, as his body was
in an advanced state of decomposi-
ton. He was dressed in blue dem
i'm shirt, overalls, shoes with no soX,
and very thin underwear. His cap
was lying close by, but there not
the slightest mark of Identification
about his clothing or body except
a malformed tooth on one side of
his mouth. No sign of violence of
any kind was to be found on his
body.
A negro living close by, named
Dock Hines, told the coroner's jury
that about three weeks ago a white
man came to his home one night and
asked to 5e allowed to stay for the
night. Re refused, and a day or two
later his boys told him of. seeing a
white man sitting beside the road
with one shoe off with no SOY and
dressed in overalls. One of he boys
was Tie negro WAC found the p5dy
and H. believed t-e dead min was
the same one he saw by the road.
SO far as known no one is missing
from this county, and the death will
probably remain mystery.
