formed; is n Valid in
All SfntCSP
BY TUE COINSELOR.

Beatrice Greenwood ana Thomas ,
Marshall were betrothed
Happily, they made application for
their marriage license. hut the mar
riage clerk informed them that under
and old law, still on the books of that
State, first cousins We're not permit
ted to marry each other. Tom and
Beatrice. being first cousins, left the
clerk s office.
But love will find way. and the
next day the couple journeyed to an
adjoining State. where there was no
restriction against the marriage OF
first cousins, and duly took all the
steps necessary to form a legal mar
riage in that State. Then they re.
turned to their home State.
After several years Tom died. leav-
ing large estate. There was no will.
He left surviving him his wife and
two sisters. and under the laws of
the home State the wife was the only
beneficiary.
Toms sisters. jealous Of the wife's
share in their brothers estate, filed a
petition in court. declaring that the
marriage was illegal, as Tom and
Beatrice were cousins and were by law
forbidden to marry. Therefore. they
claimed, Beatrice was not hia legal
wife and was not entitled to any part
Of the estate.
But the court overruled their oh
lection on the we'll founded principle
OF comfy:
where a marriage is performed
in one State and is legal in that State.
it will be recognized as legal every
where, except where il endangers pub.

He walked over to it. Yes, 1t was
chicken. He daintily selected a piece
and then, and he had seen his father
and mother do, he backed to the
kitchen door before turning around.
OF course, his brothers and sisters
were waiting to see what happened.
When they saw and smelled that little
piece of chicken he brought out they
promptly decided that they were going
to have their share. So In they all
went. 1t was funny sight. They all
backed out, each with a mouthful of
meat. They backed out in just the
way that they had seen their father
and mother do. BY the time the last
younk Skunk had obtained bite and
was backing out, Jimmy was on his
way in again. So there was a process
sion coming in and a procession back
ing out. How Farmer Browns Boy
did laugh! And how Mother Brown
and Father Brown laughed.
This will never do" said Farmer
Browns Boy. I'VE must have more
than one plate"
So presently there were three
plates. This did nicely. for you see
they all backed out to eat their food,
so while some were eating outside,
the others were inside getting their
share.
Mother Brown was delighted. 81
didn't know" said she, that Skunks
would eat such a variety of food.
Why, they eat almost everything /
give them. It's the best way of get
ting rid Of table scraps that I know
of. And do see how neat and clean
they are! Look at that plate over
there. They've licked il until 1t is
polished If any one had ever told
me that / would ever entertain q
Skunk family in my own kitchen
would have thought that person
simply crazy. And here I am enjoy
ing it. / wonder what some of our
neiShbors would say?"
Farmer Brown chuckled. I'm the
first place, they wouldn't believe it if
they were told. If they saw it they
would say you were crazy. Why, I've
tried to tell Neighbor Jones that he
ought to protect Skunks on his place,
and he can't see 1t at all. He simply
doesn't know them. Any farm that
has family of Skunks living on it is
going to be a better farm than it
| would be without them. / don't know
what l should have done down in the
south moving lot il it hadn't been
| for those Skunks. The white grubs
were killing the grass roots at great
rate until the Skunks got busy and
| dug them out. Look at the fellow
over there; he's getting so fat that
he's a regular alderman"

WINTER
BY ID. c, PEATTIE.
Chickadees.

All through the Winter woods. in
little gusty focks, the chickadees
scurry before you. Their voices, like
the wandering of wind in the broken
treble wires of an old piano, twang on
the ears-tsick a dee dee dee -deee, the
first syllable like the click of seed in
an old weather-beaten pod, the others
high, shrill and plaintive.
AS one watches them. endlessly
pecking and picking at nothing, appar-
emily, it is hard to imagine what the
little, chilly fellows find to eat. Grubs,
spider eggs, tiny tidbitS of insect flesh
left from a feast by some bigger
hunter-all the hidden Information
and offal of the world of little things
these are what the chickadees eat. and
most thorough and dainty and cleanly
are they at their tables.
But for long time / could not inn
agine what they found to eat when, as
l have so often seen them, they peck
at banks of pure deep snow. Surely
there was no food there. And there
is not. They are merely getting
drink to finish off good dinner. A
dozen billfuls of snow quickly melt
into refreshing draft in the little
feathery thrOats.
These are the birds. these and the
juncoes. which make gray Winter
day as lively and dainty as a Japanese
print, when they wheel by in their
little. unsymmetrical groups past your
window paneS.

Answers to Children's Questions
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

| Wouldn't we want to know what this
was for or what that was intended to
| do? What makes the wheels go round
| in machinery? For what reason pe0-
pie did this or that? We should be
| just as persistent interrogation points
| as any child. Nor do we have even
to suppose such an odd event, for is
| not each one of us questioning, either
out loud or to himself, why things are
as they are? Could we picture our
selves being content with solutions
that quite apparently were false?
Children As Critics.
Are we not apt. however, to think a
child can be put off with doubtful re-
plies to questions? Do we not fool
ourselves in such cases with the be-
lief that the child is satisfied? Are
we not more aware than we like to
confess that the child is sizing up the
situation correctly and knows in his
own mind either that we do not know
the answer ourselves or are deliber-
ately withholding the information
asked?
Difficult Problems.
There is little danger of parents los
ing their places of wiseacres in the
minds of their children if they truth
difficult questions. They should add,
however, that they will try to find out
and tell them-and then do it. When
a question is asked that has been baf-
fling world thinkers for ages-and
many times such a question is asked
tell them that persons have been try
ing to find out that very thing for
years. At present no one really
knows. though there are persons who
have theories about it. 1t is better
TO say ideas than theories, for if not
YOU may be called upon TO explain
what theories are.
Child's Viewpoint.
A good way to answer for child a
question that is one of genuine
thoughtfulness on his part is to ask
him what he thinks about the matter
himself. Then YOU get some clue as
to how the child's mind is working
and how to gather up the ends of his
thoughts and give them either further
direction, if correct, or new direction
If incorrect. It is fascinating to find
out what child is thinking. how he
is reasoning, what made him ask the
question, etc. Often children think
with rare clarity and we can get ideas
along right paths by listening to them.
When Ideas Are Amusing.
Sometimes their ideas are so strange
that it is with difficulty we can refrain
from laughing at them. But to do this
is dangerous. The child who believes
we take his serious thoughts humor-
ously, or who thinks we laugh at him.
will not come to us with questions.
He will go elsewhere. 1t is one thing
to laugh at a child and another to
laugh with him. If we do laugh we
must let the child realize that his
ideas were so different from anything
we had considered that it was the
strangeness of them rather than their
absurdity that we found amusing. He
will then be likely to laugh with you.
Sincerity Essential.
But whatever the question, let us
answer the why" with sincerity and
to the best of our ability. If not.
later on the child will find out our
error or pretense and doubt our
knowledge and be disgusted - or
amused-at our attempt to withhold
information or to deceive.

This was quite enough for Mrs.

her. So one night when the door was
left open and Jimmy walked in, Mrs.
Jimmy walked in right behind him.
The six young skunks hesitated. One
after another they would go to the
door and look in. Presently out backed
Jimmy. He was always very careful
to back out. He had a choice bit of
chicken. Then out backed their
mother, and she had a choice bit of
chicken. That was enough for the
boldest of the young Skunks, the one
who was all black excepting the tip Of

SILVER PRODUCERS
SEEK MANDAMUS
Combine Sues to Compel
Government Purchases Un-
der Pittman Act.

The American Silver Producers As
sociation, a Utah corporation, the Del
la Consolidated Mines Corporation
and the Spar Consolidated Mines Cor
pOration, both of Colorado for them
selves and the 6S silver manufacture
ers of the United States yesterday filed
a petition in mandamus in the District
Supreme Court against Andrew W.
Mellon, secretary of the Treasury. and
Robert j. Grant. director of the Z. s.
Mint. to compel the purchase under
the Pittman Act of 1918 of 145S9. 1908
ounces of silver bullion at 81 per
ounce.
Chief Justice Mccoy issued rule on
the officials TO show cause June %
why the mandamus should not be is
sued.
Through Attorneys Covington. Burl-
ing & Rublee the court is advised
that under the Pittman act the United
States was authorized to melt silver
dollars and sell the silver to Great
Britain in the form of bullion and
then the Government should purchase
silver in the market to take the place
of the melted coins. Between April,
1918, sand January, 1921, the court is
advised, the Government took out OF
circulation and melted $3.50 ,010,386 and
sold the bullion to England for $780,
032,S25, sustaining loss of 9,000,.
900.
In order to carry out the terms Of
the Pittman act, the plaintiffs con-
tend. the Treasury must purchase
1859 ,730 ounces Of silver. since each
silver dollar contains 371.25 grains OF
pure silver. Secretary Mellon, IT is
stated. declines to purchase the silver
and the aid Of the court is invoked
to carry out the terms of the Pittman
act.
