Peter Rabbit had said. Hooty looked
very wise. He remembered some
thing. He remembered the accident
that had happened when the circus
left the Green Meadows. He remem-
bered that two cages had been upset
and it came 10 him now that Spot

those cages. Which, of course, was
just what had happened.
Presently the sound of men coming
through the Green Forest was heard.
1t was some of the circus men re-
turning with Farmer Browns Boy.
With them were horses, and presently
the cage with Spotcoat the Leopard
was taken away out of the Green
Forest to rejoin the circus. And the
best part of it is that, while all the
little people in the Green Forest re-
loiced, Spotcoat the Leopard rejoiced
too, for the cage really was home to
him. He never had known any other
home and he had not been happy in
his freedom.

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Wednesday, June Is.

Astrologers read tomorrow as an
uncertain day in planetary influence,
since good and evil aspects conflict.
The total eclipse of the moon on
this date, visible over the Atlantic
Ocean and North America, is read as
threatening to the West Indies and to
the Northwestern part of the United
States.
Tidal waves, foundations and severe
storms are prognosticated, owing to
the aspects which seem to presage
many commissions of nature.
Unusual weather may be expected
in various parts of the country, sud
den changes of temperature and
heavy rains being forecast.
EARTHQUAKES also may be expected,
and thew will be prevalent in places
not usually threatened with seismic
phenomena.
All the signs appear to be sinister
for Great Britain, which may pass
through an eventful Summer in
which extraordinary calamities are
sustained.
To the United States is given the
privilege of becoming more and more
the world power destined to succor
all nations that suffer on the globe.
Tomorrow is held to be fortunate
Tor those VINO StdIb VII OCSdll NOydSSS.
Friendliness and understanding are
supposed to be encouraged under this
rule of the stars, which is especially
favorable to pleasant travelling asso.
Citations.
Tomorrow is one of the most lucky
for those who go in search Of en-
ployment. The right places should
be found and suitable earnings as
sured. Love of power may be strong
while this sway continues, but with
it is a kindness that should benefit
employees.
Persons whose birth date 1t is
should avoid signing notes or mort
cages in the coming year, which
should be fairly lucky.
Children born on that day probably
will be lovers of nature and endowed
with poetic insight. They are likely
to be exceedingly ambitious and to
attain prominence.

Stranger Is Taken Away.
A thing that TO us seems a grief
May to another mean relief.
--Spotcoat the. Leopard.

The stranger was caught deep in
the Green Forest. He was in a cage
with stout iron bars and there he was
left by Farmer Browns Boy and the
two men who had been waiting to
catch him. Hooty the Owl had seen
it all by moonlight. He watched
Farmer Browns Boy and the two
men tramp away through the Green
Forest. Finally, all was till there,
save for the restless tramping back
and forth of the stranger in the cage.
Back and forth, back and forth, he
tramped. If Hooty's eyes could have
been any rounder, they would have
been; but being perfectly round any
way, they couldn't get any rounder.
He could see fairly well, but not quite

Root of Unhappiness.

OF course, most of my correspond
ents are unhappy because they want
things.
They want popularity or pretty
| clothes or a certain man or certain
| iob-and they're convinced that they
won't be happy until they attain the
particular objective which at present
seems hopeless.
That kind of girl is really easier
to deal with than her opposite--the
damsel who has every thing she ever
thought she wants, and still finds
herself miserably unhappy-or some
times just bored and listless.
The girl who simply wants things
can be cheered up with suggestions
as to how she can go about getting
them-what will help her to get
them.
But the poor little rich girl who
doesn't want anything more in the
way of material things will have to
change her life entirely if she is to
achieve the happiness she desires.
The root of her unhappiness, you
see, is almost always selfishness. She
hasn't the faintest idea of such a
thing. and usually rises up to smite
me when L tell her that if she can
overcome her selishness. she'll be on
the road to happiness.
Seifshness doesn't mean just eat
ing all the pie, or spending all ones
money on ones self, or taking away
from other people things to make
ones self happy.
The most selfish girl in the world
very often gives to the poor, and is
extremely moderate about what she
allows to herself-but she thinks
about nothing except herself from
morning to night.
She becomes completely absorbed in
thoughts about neutrality-suspicious.
desires, hopes, fears, all connected
with the supreme person in her
universe-herself.
She may be perfectly kind to other
people. but it's not a kindness that
proceeds from any real, generous
impulse.
She has SO little time to think
about other people she can't waste
thoughts on them at all.
And however dull it may sound and
old-fashioned, too, girls, there's no
getting away from the fact that you
can't make happiness all by yourself.
You've got to have other people shar-
ing it with you before you attain real
joy and peace.
AS you think Of other people you
begin to make room for experiences
in your life which bring you true
happiness.
When you shut out all the world
but yourself. you get lonely and dis
satisfied and restless even in the
midst of just the things you always
thought would bring you happiness.
Get a real absorbing interest out
side of your blessed self, and you'll
begin to experience that sense of
peace and contentment which comes
only to those who have learned self
forgetfulness.
Happiness is state Of mind, and
we can't have the calm, joyous state
of mind we want if we dwell on our
selves and nothing else from morning
to night.
Learn self-lessness, take an interest
in other people, and happiness will
come to you while you're not looking.
