'Ha! Now we have escaped from the three fierce. wild cougars!" Grampa Hoppytoad said, as he and Ragsedy Ann and Raggedy Andy stopped running, "The three fierce. wild cougars will stay at the old woman's house until she returns with her groceries, then they will eat up her groceries and they will not be hungry.
 And you think they will not wish to make beef stew out of us. Granny Hoppytoad?" Raggedy Ann asked,
 q do not believe sol" Granny Hoppytoad replied. Let us hunt around and maybe we can find a soda water spring."
 This pleased the Raggedys, for they had run so hard after Granny Hoppytoad had rescued them from under the stone where the old woman had hidden them they were very thirsty.
 Anyone gets very thirsty after running a long ways.
 So the Raggedys and Granny Hoppytoad hunted all around in the deep, deep woods for soda water spring. but they could not find a single one.
 All they could find was a root beer tree with a faucet in it. But, that was lot better than nothing and the Raggedys and Granny Hop pytoad were glad to find it. They each had nine glasses of root beer and then, os that made them hun gry, they started out in search of patch of cream puffs. or dough- nuts.
 But they hunted and hunted for a long time and could not find a sin gle doughnut field or a patch of cream puffs. But, after crossing the brook and going a ways through the woods, they came to little clearing, and then Raggedy Andy, who was in front tossed his cap into the air and kicked up his heels "Whoopee!" he cried, Come See what I have found!" Granny Hoppytoad and Raggedy Ann came running up as fast as they could and also gave glad cries, for there, in the little clearing was a patch of the incest looking pies the Raggedys had ever seen.
 "Ha! Now we shall have feast" Granny Hoppytoad said as he picked nice pie and handed it to Raggedy Ann.
 "Ha! I should say we will have nice feast" loud gruff growly voice cried, and out of the bushes came the three fierce, wild cougars.
 we found out the old woman fooled us when she carried you away in her basket" Charlie Cou- gar howled, his face close to Rag gedy Andy's.
 That wasn't our fault!" Rag gedy Andy said as he stepped back.

TEACHING THE RIGHT VALUES
Lydia Lion Roberts

my doll is nicer than yours. She
cost five dollars"
Il don't care; my carriage cost
most twenty dollars"
Listen to any group of children
and sooner or later you will hear re-
marks similar to these about toys,
| games and clOthes-sometimes even
about furniture and food. Wondering
why this was so, l determined to
listen to adult conversation and see
if by chance the trouble originated
there.
1T is a beautiful picture; it cost
5000 dollars" was one remark 1 ov-
erheard.
Her dress ought to be pretty, it
cost sixty dollars" said an acquaint-
ance.
Isn't it a handsome necklace!
The price was marked down from
twenty-five dollars" commented an
other woman.
Everywhere 1 went, heard money
value attached to all manner of ar
ticles. Few persons in any group
could seem to rise above this plac-
ing of the money tag on things un-
der discussion. Yet, of course, the
picture was not beautiful because of
its cost but because of the artists
vision and skill; the dress was pret-
ty on account of its material and the
art Of the designer, and the necklace
was pleasing for the reason that it
was a dream of lights and colors.
Is it any wonder that the children
copy us and judge their possessions
by the price? How much better it
would be to teach them the value of
line and color, to show them lowell
ness in the simple, everyday things,
to train their eyes and minds to see
the beauties all about us which are
so precious yet cannot be tagged.
1t is certainly unwise to bring up |
children to judge everything by
money standard. They should be
taught that the price of an article is |
but one of the many distinguishing |
qualities. The workmanship which |
vision, study and ach-
ievement should be emphasized more
than the money value.
FIt must have taken the artist long
years of study and patience to get
that color" is much finer way to
bring a picture to child's attention,
than to intimate that the picture is
expensive to purchase.
'It took me ten years to get the
photograph of that wave," said the
man who was exhibiting enlarge
ments of unusual camera pictures
when some people praised his work
and exclaimed over the wonderful
effects of sky, mist and wave. And
4 mother who heard him speak so
and lovingly about his
work went home and told her chill
lren about it. She impressed them
with the tireless patience and en-
husiasm of the artist instead of
lwelling on the price which his
work commanded.
