whole. And not waiting to watch the
shiyering party leave the neighbor-
hood, he set off at once toward Farmer
Green's house, making first for the
river, which ran near the farm build
ings, because Mr.. Frog did not like to
travel by land.
Because the air was cool, the water
felt all the warmer. And by the time
Mr.. Frog had reached his journeys
end he was almost overheated. Be
sides, as he noticed, 1t was not so cold
In Farmer Green's dooryard as 1t had
been by the creek.
He stopped, for few moments, to
cool himself in the watering trough.
And then he hoped briskly onto the
front yard.
To his great delight he had scarce
ly reached the clump of maple, trees
when right above him he heard Kid
die Katydid's famous refrain.
"Good EVENING" Mr.. Frog called.
'I've brought little present for you,
all the way from the creek"
"How-dy do" said Kiddie Katydid.
"It's cool night, isn't it?"
"You won't mind the weather when
you put this on" Mr.. Frog replied,
holding up the small garment he had
made that afternoon.
whats that?" Riddle Katydid
asked.
AN overcoat, fashioned expressly
for you by the finest tailor in Pleas
ant Valley" said Mr.. Frog very
proudly.
You're exceedingly kind, Pm sure, .
said Kiddie. And he was about to
jump down and slip into the coat
when he noticed that Mr.. Frog had an
extremely wide mouth. Sup
pose, after slipping into the coat, he
should find himself slipping down the
tailor's throat?
AUST hang the coat on a twig and
I'll get into 1t little later" Kiddie
Katydid suggested.
II sect" Mr.. Frog cried. "That's
your way of accepting a gift. And /
wouldn't dream of quarreling with you
about that. So I'll hang the coat right
here and go back to the watering
trough to wet my feet. While I'm
gone you can try the coat on, and tell
me how you like 1t when come back"
81 hope it's green one!" said Kid
die Katydid somewhat anxiously. "For

"Ah! Trust me not to make mis-
takeP Mr.. Frog chuckled happily.
And then he withdrew. But he could
not help pausing for a moment, to
look back and watch, while Kiddie
sprang down from his tree and took
his new coat from the twig on which
the tailor had hung 1t.

A PRESENT FOR KIDDIE

MIR. FROG had delightful time
1SA listening to the remarks OF his
callers, who had no idea that he was
so near at hand. And as the weather
grew colder, they began to shiver and
their voices began to shake. And by
the time 1t was almost dark all the
waiting company were quite discour-
aged.

THERE is probably no disease that
i causes as much terror in the pub
lie mind as angina pectoris, and with
good reason, for anyone who has ever
experienced or even witnessed an at
tack of this dread condition cannot
forget the awful pain and the feeling
of impending death which characterize
1t.
The first record we have of 1t, Is
in the case of the earl of Clarendon,
who died suddenly during an attack
in 1882. Heberden, the English ply
sician, described and named it in 1772.
The name, angina peetoris, simply
means a pain In the breast, or as 1t
is popularity called breast pang."
The uncertainty of its appearance
only adds to the terror 1t causes. The
victim is generally apparently in per-
feet health. Suddenly, without warn
ing, sometimes after eating, or while
walking after eating, the patient is
seized with sharp pain In the chest,
so severe that death seems imminent.
This pain starts In the chest, runs up
to the left shoulder and down the
left arm to the heart. The patient Is
pale, and covered with cold perspi-
ration, is generally nauseated and fire.
quently vomits. The attack may last
for few minutes or for several hours.
The victim may die during the first
attack, or may have successive attacks
for years, finally dying from some 9TH
er trouble
1t is this very uncertainty that
makes this condition so alarming.
One never knows when an attack is
coming on or what will be the out
come.
In most cases of angina pectoris,
the patient is found to have a high
blood pressure, although in 179 cases,
studied by DR.. John Phillips of Cleve-
land, 1t was found high in "a, normal
In 70, and below normal In 10. 1t has
generally been regarded as due to mar
rowing and thickening of the arteries
of the heart. This cuts off the blood
supply of the heart walls.
The attacks are generally relieved
by nitro-glycerin or amyl nitrate. both
of which drugs dilate the blood YES
sells and lower the blood pressure.
Persons subject to attacks are gen.
orally given supply Of tablets of nj
tro-glycerin or capsules of amyl nj
trate to carry with them for use in
case of need.
Between attacks, patients should
lead quiet lives. avoiding excitement,
violent exertions, overeating, and ex-
cessive use of tobacco. Overweight
persons should reduce gradually and
should avoid heavy foods, rich dishes,
pies and buildings. Tea, coffee, and
tobacco should be reduced, plenty Of
sleep and the avoidance Of worry
should be insisted on.

most children, and they will eat them
with no protest.
Spinach which Is so rich In
iron when served as a vegetable or
soup, becomes repellant to the child,
but dressed with bits of bright vege-
tables, and good salad dressing,
goes without a murmur.
Such fruits as apples, oranges, and
pineapples are well-liked by most
children, while lettuce, cabbage, car
rots. celery and other good vegetables.
If dressed with snappy well-seasoned
salad dressing, will be eaten and en-
joyed.
In making salad dressings for chill
dren and those who have a delicate
digestion, lemon should be used IN

rich In vitamines which is lacking In

CHE WHY of
SUPERSTITFONS
WITCH-RIDDEN HORSES
5, H. IRVING KING

IN THE good old days when Cotton
i Mather declared that a man who
did not believe in witchcraft ought to
be burned as a witch himself, one who
doubted that horses were sometimes
found of mornings exhausted in their
stalls after being ridden all night by
witches would have been looked upon
as a suspicious character to say the
least. Many people will be surprised
to learn that this superstition still lin
gers among us-but 1t does. The
American Folklore society has found
1t still existing, chiefly among the ne
groes, and also in sections where 1t is
common among the whites.
In one section, however, 1t Is not
witches but "lutins" who ride the
horses at night. Lutin is a French
word meaning the evil spirits of the
night and this would indicate that the
superstition in Maine was an importa-
ton from Canada Investigation would
probably show that the superstition
f1ourishes across the Canadian border
and some other of the American states.
One of the peculiar phases of this
survival of an old superstition is that
In the modern version that names of
the night-ridden horses are always
found braided-which Is probably
phase of the old superstition which
has "etuck" while others have dropped
out. In some parts Of Europe it is the
fairies who ride the horses at night !:
in others the brownies and In still
others witches, the same as In Amer
ica. But something or other uncanny
rides the peasants horses at night in
nearly all sections of northern Eu-
rope. 1t was always part of the
witch-belief of continental northern
Europe that on certain nights the
witches went riding to the forests, or
some other lonely locality, to keep
their witches Sabbath" or to "meet
the black man"-that is the devil-and
In our own Colonial witchlore we had
the same belief, though broomsticks
appear to have been their favorite
steeds. The reprehensible custom of
witches riding borrowed horses, how
ever, was not unknown to our Colonial
ancestors and was an inheritance from
the old world. witcmraft belief. As
such, it appears, the superstition still
fingers among us.

This inconsistency Is not peculiar to

We are emphatically not supersti-

who do not find 1t expedient to alter

livering posterity from its tentacles to
try the experiment.
The unpopularity of thirteen"
started with the Last Supper at which
Christ and his disciples numbered
thirteen. The implication we all know.
The reason why the first to rise from
the table is supposed to be the one
to die is the fact that Judas, who was
the first to leave the supper table,
very soon after hanged himself.
