KlDDIE KATYDD9A "a
~Arthur Scott Bailey YExaW

There's something queer about that
cry of yours" Freddie Firefy sud-
denly exclaimed. I'm watching you
closely; but I can't see hat your
mouth moves the least bit"
Again Riddle Katydid smiled. He
saw that Freddie Firefiy was puzzled.
"Why do you keep moving your
wings when you say Katy did," Fred
die Firefly asked him at last.
But Riddle refused to answer that
question: fact which at once made
Freddie suspicious. He moved nearer
Riddle Katydid and flashed his light
upon him every time Kiddie repeated
his odd statment about Katy. And
soon Freddie Firefy grew much ex-
cited. He actually danced up and
down. he was so astonished.
"Tve found you out !" he cried in a
loud voice. Its no wonder your voice
doesn't get tired from hat song! Fol
you don't really sing it al all! You
make that queer sound by rubbing
your wing covers together !"
Kiddie Katydid abruptly ceased his
shrilling. He looked most uncomfort-
able. And it vas not surprising. He
had not supposed hat Freddie Fire1y
or anybody else-would be shrewd
enough to discover that secret. 1t was
a family secret-one that had been
closely guarded by the Katydids since
the beginning of time, almost. And
here he had gone and let Freddie
Firefy find it out!
"I'm right about that and you can't
deny it" cried Freddie Firef1y bold
~. You may as well admit that
what / say is true" he added.
ST certainly won't dispute you"
Riddle Katydid replied. 81 have too
good manners to do anything so rude
as that"
81 don't care about your manners"
Freddie answered. 81 dare say they're
good enough. although some people
think it's rather rude of you to make
so much noise when a good many
others are trying to Sleep"
SHouiu Lhe 10 KNOW WHO ODJecCS

claimed holly. "If Farmer Green has
been talking to you. l should like to
state that he had better be careful.
Anyone who drives a Gathering now
ing machine around. when a lot of us
are trying to get our rest in the day
time, ought not to complain about a
little music on a pleasant night like
this"

land and France, and what amazing
things we accomplished when we did
get in. The Englishman smiled and
said nothing. He felt, no doubt, that
he had no need to boast of England's
greatness. Her history proved that
without his saying anything. The
long lines Of white stones in the
cemeteries Of France and England
testify to what England did in the
war.
Where would you be, IL 1t hadn't
been for us?" the Americans asked,
and the Englishman answered,
"Where?" and he did not say as he
might well have done, TOO bad you
did not come sooner"
II would be a great lesson to us as
Americans II we could realize to such
an extent the greatness Of our coun-
try and feel so keenly u love for 1t,
that we should feel that 1t is too per-
sonal and too sacred a thing publicly
TO boast of. When we get to such a
point we shall be thought Of more
highly.

Doctor WEIGH is internationally
celebrated al being one Of the greatest
medical leaders of the age.
For many years he held the chair of
professor of pathology at Johns Hop
kins, where one of his pupils was Wal
ter Reed, the army officer who discov-
cred that yellow fever was carried by
a certain species of mosquito. 1t was
this discovery that made possible the
cutting Of the Panama canal through
the wastes of the Panama neck.
It was Doctor Weleh who helped to
spread the doctrines of Pasteur and
Koch, the latter the man who discov-
cred the tuberculosis germ, and he
was n of the first who showed that
such diseases as typhoid, malaria and
cholera are not spread by the moist
air of tropical lands, but by contact,
thus antedating Reeds discovery.
At the age of twenty-five Doctor
WEIGH had already written a prize
thesis on g%oiter; three years later he
published a pathological paper that
attracted wide attention in Europe at
thirty he had distinguished himself in
many Of the greatest laboratories on
the continent, and at t~hirty-one he re-
vised the fifth edition of the standard
"F1int's Practice of Medicine" a task
which would be approached in awe by

world to understand that they are the

imperishable raiment of greatness.
before which we must always make
humble obeisance, and gracefully ac-
knowledge our inferiority.
Some are moody, jealous and exact

would like to drop overheard in mid

The majority of them. however, are
simply purse-proud. existing in a
sitting atmosphere. from which the
great hasten to escape. 1
The check book is their god!
They are so constituted that 1t Is
impossible for them to recognize that
the wealth which one carries In ones
soul is the only wealth worth while.
Nor can they comprehend with
their dull, incapable minds the gran
deur and nobility Of character, the
sweetness which transforms bitter
gall into a delicious nectar, or the
smiles Of. helpfulness which cheer the
respondent and lend swift wings Of
encouragement to humans on the bor-
derland of despair.

pomp and power and splendor Of

eternal and in the living God.
The truly great, you will find are
the humble, often simply attired,
often, too. with bent shoulders, seri-
Gus faces and red hands worn and
rough from mental toll.
Paradoxical as it may SEEM, they
strike the incest balance between the
life that is and the life that is to

Though their c~ountenances may be
passive, their hearts are singing joy
full praises and framing silent pray
ers, from morn till hight.
They court no pity from ~ostenta-

given opportunity exchange places
with them, for in their lowly estate
they have found peace.
They ape not greatness, for they
have greatness, such as cannot be
bought by the wealth of Midas or

Toward this greatness let the young

be contented until they overtake 1t

one teaspoonful of salt and four ia
blespoonfuls Of maple sugar; dot with
bits of butter, using four tablespoon
fuls. Bake 80 minutes and then set
into a pan of hot water to wait for
serving time.
Eggs In Spinach Nests.-Prepare
six rounds of toast, butter well and
owe each round with cooked and
seasoned spinach, making a hollow In
the center. Drop an egg into the hol-
low of each nest and place the dish
In the oven until the eggs are cooked.
Sprinkle with paprika, dot with butter
and sprinkle with chopped ham.
Cheese Sandwich FiIIing.-Prepare
a white sauce, using two tablespoon
fuls each Of butter and lour and one
half cupful of milk. Put one-half of
a can of ~pimentoes, two hard-cooked
eggs. and one-half pound, of cheese
through the meat grinder; add one
raw egg, lone tablespoonful each of
sugar and one teaspoonful of salt, with
one-half cupful of vinegar. Cook
over water until smooth and thick,
after combining mixtures. Cool and
use as sandwich filling for white
bread.
Betrothal SandWiches.-Cut white
bread into one-fourth inch slices.
Shape with a heart cutter, spread
with pimento butter, put together in
pairs, press edges lightly and deco
rate with small hearts cut from PIN
entoes, using the small vegetable cut
ter for this purpose.
Prune Rellsh.-Boil together one
cupful of stoned and finely cut prunes
with one and one-half cupfuls of wa
ter In which they have been soaking;
add three tablespoonfuls Of sugar, the
Juice of half an orange, one-half tea
spoonful of ground cinnamon and two
tablespoonful of currant jelly. Cook
all together, adding the orange juice
and jelly at the last. This makes a
fine relish to serve with mutton or
lamb, or with sliced cold roast. Rails
ms may be used with the prunes If de-
sired, adding a different flavor. Prunes
are n of our versatile fruits. They
add to many dishes. A little prune
pulp added to boiled frosting makes
a delicious cake filing. Cooked with
a bit of -four, lemon juice and a few
~raisins, the filing is especially good
for filed cookies.

The weather bureau says that the
chief reason why frozen raindrops are
of so many different shapes Is the
fact that partially frozen drops often

the occasion.
Another was the playing of the very
original Theme and Fantastic Varia-
tions, Opus T." of 1926. written by n.
Rerezowsky The work is played by
clarinet, string quartet and piano and
was given it's first American hearing
at this performance. Those who inter
preted it were: Strings, J. Stopak, S.
kuskin NJ. Cores and A. Borodkin;
clarinet, Simeon Bellison: piano, Ar
thur LOeSSer. The plaintiVe solo of the
clarinet, and later a prolonged duet
between the clarinet and viola were
unusually interesting. The composition
seems to be scientifically constructed
and it producted an almost hypnotic
effect in it's attraction for the audience.
At the conclusion the young composer,
who was present, was acclaimed with
much applause and forced to Else sew
eral times to acknowledge apprecia-
ton of his composition.
The third unique feature of the pro
gram was the singing Of q, group of
five Russian folk songs written four
years ago by A. F. Gedike, given first
American performance by the bari
tone, Boris SaslawslY, accompanied
by violin, cello and piano. In the
modern mode, these songs proved as
much "songs'' for the strings and
piano as for the voice, the one not
being complete in any way without
the others. The prayer" was per
haps the most beautiful of the songs.
