Searsport, author of many stories of

vision Of War" is one of America s
classics was born. Not only was he
born in mid-winter on an August day,
but he can never really revisit the
place Of his birth, except in a vague
way, for it is only matter of latitude
and longitude, and even the tiny room
in which he was ushered into this
world has long since passed out of ex-
lstence, for Lincoln Colcord was born
at sea, on sailing ship, just after she
had rounded Cape Horn, in a terrific
storm, August IA, 1883, mid-winter in
that part Of the world.

Dishonest?
A difference in the point of view
Makes right to me be wrong to you.
Happy Jack.
Poor foolish Sammy jay! He had
worked himself into such rage that
he didn't really know what he was
doing. And all the time Happy Jack
| the Gray Squirrel and Chatterer the
Red Squirrel were enjoying it. They
| liked to see Sammy in such rage.
There never has been any love lost
between Sammy Jay and the Squirrel
cousins. Each likes to make trouble
for the other whenever possible.
Sammy, you know, had hidden pea
nuts all about in the Old Orchard,
and these peanuts Happy Jack and
Chatterer were hunting for. They
had found many of them, and OF
course, when they found them they
ate them. 1t was this that made
Sammy so angry. 1t was this that
had caused him to scream, Thief
Thief! Thief at the top of his
lungs.
IT did look very much as II Happy
Jack and Chatterer were stealing
you been there you probably would
have said that they were stealing
those peanuts. But they didn't con-
slider that they were stealing at all.
They didn't consider that in taking
| them from the hiding places of
: Sammy Jay they were stealing any
more than was Sammy himself in
taking them from the shelf on the
window sill of Farmer Browns house.
You see it is a law of Old Mother
Nature that that which one finds be-
| longs to one. She has made this law
so as to make her little people use
| their wits as they were intended to
be used. They all know that to keep
a thing they must hide it where no
one else will find it.
Sammy Jay knew this law. OF
course. Sammy knew all about this
law. He knew that whoever should
| find those peanuts would have
right to them if they could get away
with them. Many time had Sammy
Jay found things hidden by the two
I Squirrel cousins, and thought HIM
self very smart for getting away
with them.
But this being the other way
around was very different. Yes, IN
deed, this was very different! And
Sammy screamed, Thief! Thief!
Trief." at the top of his lungs. l
presume that Sammy really thought
! that Happy Jack and Chatterer were
dishonest But were they? Farmer
Browns Boy didn't seem to think SO.
He came out to see what all the fuss
was about, and it didn't take him
long to find out what was going on.
| He hadn't intended all those peanuts
for Sammy Jay, and so it rather
| pleased him to find that others were
getting some of them in spite Of
/ Sammy's greediness.
Farmer Browns Boy understands
| that law of Old Mother Nature. He
knows that laws which govern boys
and girls and grown folks are quite
different from the laws which govern
the little people of the Green Forest
and the Green Meadows, and that the
latter must not be judged as boys
and girls would be pudged. That
which is right for a Squirrel may be
wrong for a boy. SO Farmer Browns
Boy did not feel that Happy Jack
