ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

! "Well,' said Mister Fuzz Wuzz, the
pipe-cleaner man, when the Twin.
got back to the courthouse in Doc
funny Land, "did you find the tin
mouse?"
yes said Nick, w'he's under a
board and won't comb out. He says
to tell you he isn't there"
"That shows that his guilt is as
plain as the tail on my back" said
the patent-leather cat. IL knew il
all the time"
"1'm not so sure about that" said
the rubber dog, and he whistled in
dignantly through the top of his
head, by drawing in deep breath
and then letting it out until his sides
touched.
Gentlemen! Gentlemen" cried
Mister Fuzz Wuzz, hammering loud
ly. "This is no place to fight. And
since the mouse won't come to court,
the court will go to the mouse. Come,
ladies and gentlemen"
The napkin rabbit saw them COM
ing and flopped his ears with Joy.
This is great for met" he shouted
at them. 81 can't move because l
am coming united. But now I'll see
everything"
"My goodness gracious!" cried
Nancy. 81 could have tied you to-
gether. I never thought of it. Here
I'll give you good pull and you'll
stay together for a long time. There!
How's jthat?"
"Oh, fine, thank you!" cried the
napkin rabbit, hopping around and
shaking his nubbin of a tail. That's
like old tines"
"Say," said Mister Fuzz Wuzz
sternly, "is this trial or hospital
for fixing rabbits? We'd better get
down to business. Sit down every
body. Where did you say the tin
mouse WASP"
"He's hiding under that board"
said the napkin bunny. give been
watching so he couldn't get away"
"Are you there, Mister Mouse ~
called Mister Fuxz Wuzz sharply.
"No," came a squeaky voice. "I'm
not here at all! But if l was.
wouldn't come out anyway with that
old cat there"
The patent-leather cat trembled
with rage, but said nothing.
"Then we shall try you where You
are" said Mister Fuzz Wuzz. SHOW
give US your testimony"
"My wh-what?" came the voice.
II never had anything like that in
all my life"

PRESIDE SCIENCE
LAND ANIMALS


 There are so many kinds of land animals that the only way they can De y1sualizedf remembered and distin- guished kind from kind is to group them according to their relationship. The great groups will never be for gotten by those who read this article attentively. They are:
 l. Insects. Every six-legged anil nal having two pairs of wings is an insect. Spiders are classed with in- sects. though they have four pairs of legs. Insects skeletons are out side the body. Bugs are degenerate insects.
 9. Worms. These were tho earth's fdrst ploughers.
 3. Amphibians include all water born animals which, as adults. emerge and live on land; they once dominated the earth, but only frogs, other degenerate species have sur- vived.
 4. Reptiles. Like their amphibian ancestors, the great families have be- come extinct; they were cold blo0ded, egg-laying monsters, poorly repre- sented now by very degenerate snakes. lizards, turtles. alligators and their like.
 5. Birds. Modern descendants of liyIHS reptiles WnlCn nave QlIIeTen- tiated into countless species. Re- mains of primitive birds, having teeth and vertebrated tails. are preserved in museums. Ostriches, penguins, awks and hoactzins have not yet dis carded all of their ancient, reptilian gear.
 ' Now we come to mammals, includ- Ing all animals that suckle their young, sub-divided as follows:
 A. Narsrpials. or pouched animals. such as kangaroos and opossums.
 B. Insectivora, or insect-eaters. in- cluding moles, shrews and hedge- hogs.
 c. Bats. which were the first mann mals to solve the problem of flight problem previously solved in dit- ferent ways by insects, flying rep tiles, flying fish and birds. The vam- pire bats of Central America are blood-suckers.
 D. The carnivora. having tusks and claws, which include the feline family Qions, tigers, leopards, jag uars, wild cats and their kin); the ursine family of bears (polars, grizzlies, blacks and browns), the raccoon family; the capine family (dogs, wolves, jackals, db6les. dingoes and foxes), and, finally. Several fami- lies of mammals which went to sea, such as seals. sea lions, walruses,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-01-08

porpoises and dolphins. All these are flesh eaters.
 E. The rodentia, or gnawers- squirrels, chipmunks, beavers, goph- CTS, rats, mice, guinea pigs and others.
 F. The edentata, or toothless anil mals-all native to America-includ. Ing sloths, anteaters and armadilios, ;G. Hoofed animals-pigs, peccaries, hippopotami. camels, giraffes, ante lopes, cattle. sheep and goats. These are called even-toed ungulates. Odd toed cngulates are horses, tapirs and rhinoceroses.
 II. The robosidea-Elephants are the only representatives of the an- clent animals which were distin- guished by proboscis.
 l. The primates. including lemurs. monkeys, apes and man.
 These are the great deniZens of the dry land. In addition, there are num- berless species of less importance. Nansen found the Arctic ice inhabited by miscrscopic organisms. he snow melts, forming pools in the ice. and these soon show yellowish-brown spots which, under the miscroscope, are seen to be minute organisms. Likewise, there are unnamed birds, concerning a beautiful, rosy-breasted gull. he wrote: This rare and mys- terious inhabitant of the unknown north is only occasionally seen, and no one knows whence it cometh or whither 1t goeth.

 Housewives

order are two of the domestic virtues that may easily be converted into vices.
 We all know spick and span houses that are no more homes than a shiny tin box would be. Nobody would dave disarrange sofa cushion in one of them. Nobody would have the courage to move chair from its ap- pointed place. To track bit of mud be a high crime and misdemeanor. To leave anything hanging around would be sacrilege unspeakable.
 Husband and children flee these temples of order and cleanliness as they would torture chamber. And woman who has worked herself cross and irritable attaining her ideal of housewifery.
 Most of the real homes are not too bright and good for human nature daily use. They are places where you can take your ease; places run on a flexible schedule and only req sonably clean and orderly.
 Doubtless. tho old lady who laid down the maxim, Feed the brute" ;" as g. rule for retaining husband's affections said a wise mouthftl to women. But more is to be added, for man does not live by bread alone, and 1t Is just as important to feed his soul as his stomach.
 Every woman VITO fails to give her husband good. nourishing food fails as a wife, but she fails even more Ii she does not give him companion ship. For. after all, there is good restaurant on every corner where d man can satisfy his physical hunger, but none but his wife can minister to his spiritual hunger. Foolish is the woman who doesn't realize this and who spends her time keeping her house clean instead of making 1t a home.
 But that is the trouble with matri- mony. A woman can't be either

APPENDICITIS

The first operation for appendicitis was performed at St. Luke's hospital, Denver, January 2, 1885. A young woman residing in Davenport, la, had the distinction of being the first person to have the troublesome vermiform appendix removed. The operation, necessarily, was in the na- ture of an experiment, and the pa tient was so informed, butIshe pluck lily declared her willingness to suo- init to the knife, as last resort. It was not until about two years later that another operation of this kind
 was performed. Since then thou sands of such operations have been performed in hospitals all over the
 world, and appendicitis has now be- come a common, although still fash ionable, disease. Although the first patient was woman, the statistics show that the disease is much more likely to affect males than females.

THAT WORD
ENGAGE

ENGAGE
 The word "engage" enjoys as di- Versified 8 meaning as any in the English language. For instance, one may engage" 1n the sense of going into battle. or "engage" to commit a crime. On the other hand, a charm ing debutante may become "engaged'. to march from the altar to the tune or the wedding march from 'Lohen- grin."
 The fact is that when one "en- sfases, one takes a pledge to per- form or refrain from performing an indefinite number of acts, vastly con tradfctory in their nature or import. Some of the pomp of heraldry lies m m the word. for it is made up of the pledge, as in the gage of promise of battle.
