upon him with whimsical admixture
of humor and tenderness. Suddenly,
without word. the boy dashed as fast

His AnsUer

A local celebrity, visiting one of the
schools in certain town, thought 1t
proper to ask the youngsters few
questions:
Can any little boy or girl tell me-"
he said impressively. "what is the
greatest of all virtues?"
There was no reply.
1--WE will try it again." said the WIS.,
itor. "What am doing when l give
up my time and pleasure to come and
talk to you In your school?"
II know now, misterl" exclaimed
Johnny Smith, raising his hand.
"Well, what am doing, little manf"

AT that moment Grants plowshare
struck submerged boulder, and he
was dumped precipitately into that
element which he had been so gener-
ously apostrophlzing. The we'll

gathered himself up. none the worse,

The horses had come to stop n

Grant, when the two had measured

Sometimes their keeper would watch

ought to come around at night when
we begin to think about wandering
little"

fourth snake.

said fifth snake.
Hiss, hiss" said sixth snake, let

others.

snake.
And so do l." said yet another.
"And l want to go, hiss, hiss" said
still another snake.
So all the snakes started.
Where did they go?
Did they get out of their zoo homes
and wander off, far into the night?
Did they leave every night and ar
rive back every morning in time for
breakfast, if 1t happened to be break
fast morning?
For of course the snakes don't eat
three meals day as people do. They
eat great deal at a time and then
don't eat for ever so long again.
Some of them eat once a week, some
do not eat more than once q month,
and some do not eat as often as that.
But they eat great, huge meals when
they do eat, 1t is very, very true.
No, the snakes in the zoo did not
leave every night and go off a-wan-
derlng.
But every night they became restless.
They had slept through the day.
They wanted to have some exercise.
So they wriggled around and around
their zoo homes and their cages.
To them they were having adven-
tures. They did not feel badly that
they could not go long distances, for
they could go on and on wriggling and
squirming all through the night.
No one would tell them to go to
sleep and not keep others awake. No

Massfeld Builds Own Theater To Assist
 Amateur Performers

LONDON, Dec. 30.-John Masefeld, world famous English author, poet and playwright, is adding the role of play-producer to his many accom- plishments.
 With the object of giving a group of amateur performers a real the ater in which to produce their plays, he has built a small theater in the grounds of his beautiful residence at Boors Hill, near Oxford, and he has high hopes that it will become the great home of poetic drama.
 Masefield says that he hopes to present twelve plays within the next year and that he, personally, will produce them all.
 The theater is the realization of many years ambition of Masefield and his band of players, who have for many years performed in way side barns and outhouses.
 Severely plain in it's architecture it has comfortable seating room for 100 spectators, and there are up-to- date dressing rooms and a very fine stage. The volunteer musicians will be accommodated in a gallery.
 No scenery will be used, for Mase- field contends that the poetic drama needs no scenic interpretation or aids.
 The theater will be opened with an unpublished play, "The Young King" by Laurence Binyon, and in the in- tervals of play production oldfolk dancing and poetry readings will be given.
 The spectators will be privileged. and in order to cover expenses will be called upon to pay a nominal ad- mission fee.
