Foxy Grandpa's
Stories
He Missed the Elephant

"We're bound to see one in this
country" l said hopefully. This is
just the part Of Africa where they live
in big herds. You don't know how
many we'll sce."
Bunny dropped his right ear doubt
fully and looked at me quizzically,
then he said:
Don't set your heart too much on
it, Foxy Grandpa. You know those
big fellows don't care much for sun
light. They prefer to stay in the Sc
clusion Of the forest. They rarely come
out of it in the daytime"
Then Wen make for the next for
est" l said, for we were tramping
over a great plain, having left our
car where we intended to camp for
few days.
"We'll be coming to one pretty
soon," said Bunny, Il can smell the
trees" Then he shifted until his whis-
kers shook.

chuckled.
We plunged into the darkness Of
the forest, but we didn't see even the
tusk of an elephant. But after a
while Bunny who was lodging in and
out Of thickets came tearing back and
said:
They're here all right. I saw a
track.
Good" I whispered. "Where?"
"Way in there" replied Bunny, "but
I'm afraid it's too thick for you. II
mussed me up considerably" and he
started brushing his white coat with
his paw.
"How about waiting here? They
say elephants travel the same route
very often"
Too bad you can't get in to the
tracks. Then the fellow that made
them might return" Bunny declared.
"Let's try it," said. Suppose we
do tear our clothes and get scratched.
That's nothing. We came to see an
elephant and let's CO."
Sure" said Bobby, and We started
to scramble through the underbrush,
Bunny leading the way.
"Therc'rc the tracks," said Bunny,
and sure enough there they were.
We waited and waited But moth
ing happened.
Finally it commenced TO grow dark.
Bunny suggested that we move back
to camp, because later we might not
be able to find our way.
So we started back. "You know"
said Bunny, elephants are pretty hard
to see in the dusk like this. They are
such a greyish color tLat you just
think they are the dusk themselves.

The Rhyming
Optimist
The Rich
BY Aline Michaelis

There arc some men vino walk the
world in luxury and case; for them
the lovely, joyous things of all the
lands and seas. For them to climb
the mountain crcsts, mist-wreathcd
against the sky; for them to sail wide
oceans field with great waves dash
ing high. Yet, desolate and drear
they. dwell, apart from light and
mirth, for naught Of all wealth's glow
ing gauds can fill their spirits dearth.
And there are those who have no part
with men of high estate; of humble
ways, upon them fall the burdens of
the great. But they are heirs 10
splendid things-fair field and star
strewn sky; for them the voices of
the winds that whisper, drifting by.
And priceless is the wealth they own,
beyond the worth Of gold, the sacred
stores no man can fitch which their
glad spirits hold

Meditations of
a Wife
The Unsentimental Sex.
By Helen Rowland

The Unsentimental Sex.
Woman is the weaker vessel-fillcd
with sentiment!
Half the heartaches and love mix
ups in this world are caused by q
woman's tendency to judge a mans
sentiments and emotions by her own
She is forever exaggerating mans
sentimentality, dealing his motives
and credited him with lot of beauti-
full, hidden impulses that aren't
there"
If he happens to drop around, two
evenings in succession, she jumps I'M
mediately at the thrilling conclusion
that it is because he can't live for "a
hours without seeing her! Whereas
it may be simply because the girl III
the next block happened to be out
when he called.
II he signs twice in an evening,
she promptly suspects that he is hid
ing secret passion-whercas, it may
be only the result of a heavy dinner
anu u USuI WdiStCOut.
If he doesn't show up for week,
she lies awake nights, wondering
what has happened" or what she
could have said to "hurt" him
whereas probably noting has happened
but a few nice parties or q new
blonde in town, and she couldn't
hurt him unless she hit him with
mallet.
A woman pours her sentiment over
everything, just as she pours maple
syrup over waffle, or chocolate
syrup over sundae. But, when she
let's it slOp over and glorify a mans
most casual act or kiss, she is riding
for a bad fall and smashed van
ity.
Nine-tenths of the time man
doesn't mean ANYTHING! And
whatever he happens to do, is done
on an impulse arising from the state
of his digestion. the state of his
pocketbook, or the state OF his mood.
The GIRL is just the innocent by
stander.
Men are not naturally sentimental ::
and little act or word that means
worlds" to n woman doesn't mean n
thing to them" To paraphrase a
popular book. A kiss is a kiss; you
take it. A girl is a girl; you call on
her. An evening is an evening; you
amuse yourself"
When man feels any sentiment,
he is so surprised and embarrassed
that he blurts it right out. lie
doesn't SAY it with flowers" or with
stunts or with subtlcties-he says 1t
with WORDS!
But girls will go right on court
ing heartaches, until they discover
that man is a perfectly literal, sim
ple-minded creature with no COM
plexes, 10 deep underlying nature"
no subtle motives, and mighty few
emotions.
Men and women will never under
stand each other until n man stops
saying twice as much as he means
and a woman stops thinking that he
MEANS twice as much as he says!

WASHINGTON SPLURGE

WASHINGTON SPLURGE
1t is the custom of the Ku KIux Khan
in recent years to make an annual
splurge in Washington, d. c., so that
mere laymen can gaze on the marching

by which the relative annual potency OF
the K. K. K. may be judged. In the
