ADVENTURE OF

'That spring hasn't got better

just look! Scarcely bit of green
showing anywhere. No pussy-wil-
lows and not clover leaf, or q bit
Of water cress, or speck Of hepa-

up first"
He talked as fast as he ran. the
March Hare did, and the Twins be-
gan to wonder if he really knew
where he was going.
He kept muttering, Eyes, sir, he's
been here. Yes, sir. he's been here,
too! and here and here and here"
Every time he saw tiny spot of
snow behind stone he would say,
Here, and here and here"
"What are you looking for and

| March Hare. didn't l tell you?
Those are his footprints, all that
white stuff is where he's been trying
to dodge behind stones. Everywhere
he steps he leaves snow and ice
tracks. There! Look at that! He's
been around here very recently.
Very recently, indeed! may run

There's his nose sticking out"
| The March Hare stopped and
pointed with his ears towards large
oak, and the children could see q
long white sharp thing sticking out
behind it that did certainly look like
a nose
Are you there!" called the March
| Hare.
| No answer.
"You aren't fooling me a Bit" said
! the hare GROSSLY. II can see you or
enough of you to know who you are
and where you are, Jack Frost. But

going to give you piece of my

! Still no answer, but the hare went
right on, wiggling his nose cxcitedly.
"You may as we'll get out of here. y
he said. "You don't belong here at
this time of year at all. You belong
in Buster Gust Land up in the sky
along with the other nuisance fairies
and you'd better be packing your
trunk. Are you listsning?"
The nose never moved. 50 there is
no doubt that Jack Frost heard
everything the mad March Hare said.

cried the girl.
Who could contemplate the be-

have it in his heart to grumble
about the shortcomings of this old

J. p. Morgan Is King Of France

Who king Of France Obviously j. Pierpont Morgan
And is good thing for the world that he is.
Not that J. Perpont Morgan, any other man in his
personal capacity should rule France any other nation
He does not
But the facts should rule and Morgan happens to be the
mouthpece of the facts. The facts that the stability
of the franc and the credit of France depend the baan
ing of the budget and that this depends unpopular taxes
and unpopular economics which French politician,
sidering politics alone would consider
So when Morgan told the Poncare government that the
necessary loans dependent on certain policy by
France he was merely speaking the voice of facts.
When Herriot in and found the government thus
committed by foreign decision domestic policy, he pre-
tended to protest but like Poincare, he obeyed.
Now his finance minister Cementel, and frankly
acknowledges that the for the resoue BAL
anced budget just introduced the promise of foreign loan
when that budget is definitely and finally voted.
The deputies will obey too The voice will be the voice of
Morgan, but the hand is the fist of facts.

FABLES ON HEALTH-
REST FOR THE HEART

tice can perform 13 times the
amount of work which it puts forth
while the body is at rest.
Many commonly think Of the heart
as an "unresisting organ" This is
not strictly correct conception.
Following every contraction there
is short period of relaxation.
This is the hearts resting period,
and during this period the heart
muscles take from the blood food,
upon which the heart lives, and give
up to the blood the carbon dioxide
and waste products which have been
made during its period of contrac-
ton.
