SOMETHING TO
/ THINK ABOUT
By F. A. WALKER
SCHOOL OF EXPERIENCE
!

IOWEVER well educated you may
= be when you turn your back on
Pie old university walls, so proud of
The degree you have won through in
tEensives study, you will awaken later
Ido realization that there is yet an
ybther school in which you must prove
your worthiness before you can attain
substantial success.
You will find here no quiz-masters
to sharpen your wits or stir your
Imagination; no great Libraries with
helpful book of reference to shed their
illuminating suns on the darkened
wa no maps or charts by which you
casosteer your course.
AuA are upon an uncharted sea and
1t lismains for you alone to handle
theEwheel and find your way through
OPPOSING gales which have tricks of
changing suddenly and beating against
ydu with terrible force.
You must observe carefully and give
close attention to what is before you,
else you will be blown from your track
upon hidden rocks, where thousands
before you have been wrecked and
lost.
4 Among these treacherous rocks are
eivility, self-coneeit, egotism, vanity,
Enicism, selfishness, obstinacy, preJu-
lIce and unbelief, each one a wrecker
careers and a destroyer of happi-
lss.
.dGnly in the school of experience
ca you learn of the great dangers. of
thu Ee dreadful reefs and what course
to IKE to avoid them.
III in the classroom of this school
you are quick in perception, willing
to bend your will to the master mind.
and eager to play your part like SEN
sible man or woman, notwithstanding
the high esteem in which you hold
yourself, you will find success quite
ready to flirt with you at every cor
ner, and perhaps waiting for you at
the doorway in the morning.
Even few months in the school of
experience teaches a very trenchant
principle for judgment and action, if
you have within you the proper quail
ties, consisting mainly of uniform
courtesy and an alacrity in obeying
orders.
The man or woman who through
perverseness declines to do these
things may be counted to make a
shipwreck of his or her life.
To step down from the pedestal of
your own creation, may not be an
easy thing to do, but. as you gather
experience you win find that If you
intend to participate in the race with
the efficient, it must be done

was. All the tiny flying folk gave him
wide berth. And it began to look
as if he were going to spoil the nights
fun.
But all the while Mr.. Frog never
once lost his temper Even when
Benjamin Bat called him a long-leg-
ged. flat-headed, paddle-footed med
der, Mr.. Frog only smiled and turned
a few somersaults backward.
Whats the matter with your" Ben
jamin Bat asked him at last. Cant
you speak?"
Certainly Certainlyl' Mr. Frog
said then. 1--WE been trying to think
Of some way to prevent so much quar-
reling. 1t hardly seems fair to Riddle
Katydid- this uproar in his dooryard.
And since you are the one that's max
ing the greatest disturbance, I'd sug-
gest that you go away and leave us
to enjoy the rest of the night in
peace"
'Tn do nothing Of the kind!" Ben
jamin Bat screamed. "This is my
party. I thought of It in the first
place. And I'm going to stay here I'M
til dawn"

KITTY dbl

a S THE hours sped by and the
a moon at last crossed the sky and
dropped out of sight, Kiddie Katydid
saw that there was going to be
trouble
He was worried about Benjamin
Bat. Early in the evening Benjamin
had begun to amuse Mr.. Frog. And he
was so busy doing that that he
wouldn't take the time to go away and
snatch even a bite to eat.
Naturally, Benjamin's temper grew
worse as the night heightened. And
Kiddie Katydid had to admit to him
self that he would be most unwise if
he did any jumping or flying just then
For Benjamin Bat was in so fierce a
humor that he was ready to snap at
anybody who was smaller than he

very Welt Then the rest Of us
will leave at once" Mr.. Frog told him.
And calling good-by to all his friends,
Mr.. Frog Topped himself briskly away.
The smaller folk, too, vanished as
If by magic. Though Benjamin Bat
watched sharply, he didn't even see
Freddie Firefiy when he slipped away.
That's stranger thought Benja-
min. "He must have put out his light,
to fool me. But / don't care, because
Kiddie Katydid is hidden somewhere
in this tree. And Tn going to find
him-for I'm terribly hungry"
So BENJAMIN began flying in and
out among the maple branches. No
body but he could have twisted and
turned in such a helter-skelter fash
ion. It made Riddle Katydid almost
dizzy just to watch him. But Riddle
didn't take his eyes off Benjamin, be-
cause he intended to jump jump
fast and farm case Benjamin
should spy him.
Now, although the Bat family was
able to see in the dark as well as
Farmer Green's cat could, Benjamin
failed to find Kiddie Katydid any
where Crouching motionless upon a
leaf, and dressed all in green Kiddie
Katydid was almost invisible. But if
he had moved the least bit, Benjamin
Bat would have found him out.
Looking only for tiny green figure

paid no attention to the grayish
branches of the tree. He was really
strangely careless. Quite unsupported
by him, while he was wrangling with
Mr.. Frog, the cat had crept out Of
the woodshed and stolen softly into
that very tree, where she lay notion
less along a limb. She had come out
upon an early morning hunt for birds.
She was a fierce old cat There was
nothing almost, that she wasn't ready
and willing to fight Even old dog
Spot had learned to shun her. And
now she waited patiently until Ben
jamin Bat should come within reach
Of her quick paws
That stupid, laundering fellow
bumped squarely into her at last.
And how he escaped is still a mys-
terry. The old cat always claimed that
when she found Benjamin wasn't a
bird she was so surprised that she let
him go. And as for Benjamin himself.
he never would discuss his adventure
with anybody. Kiddie Katydid was
the only other one who saw what hap
pened. But he was so frightened at
the time that he only knew that Ben
jamin Bat tore away toward the
swamp as If thousand cats were fol-
lowing him. And people do say that
for some time afterward, Riddle Katy
did shrilled slightly different ditty.
It was Kitty did, Kitty did; she did,

But when Mr.. Frog mentioned that
news, with laugh, to Benjamin Bat.
over in the swamp, Benjamin only
said stuff and nonsense p
Yet he looked most uncomfortable.
