WORLD FAMOUS STORIES
THE LION AND THE SPANIEL.
BY HENRY BROOKE.

other sentiment save that of pleasure
and complaisance.
But let us proceed to the tragic
catastrophe of this extraordinary story:
a story known to many as delivered
down by tradition from father to son.
In about IL months the little spaniel
sickened and died and left his loving
patron the most desolate of creatures.
For time the lion did not appear to
conceive otherwise than that his favor
ite was asleep. He would continue to
smell of him and then would stir him
with his nose, and turn him over with
his paw. but finding that all his efforts
to wake him we're vain, he would trav-
erse the length of his cage at swift
and uneasy pace, then stop and look
down upon him with fixed and droop-
ing regard, and again lift his head on
high and open his horrible throat and
prolong a roar, as of distant thunderi
for several minutes together.
They attempted, but in vain, to con-
vey the carcass from him. He watched
it perpetually, and would let nothing
touch it. The keeper then endeavored
to tempt him with variety OF victualS,
but he turned from all that was of
fered with loathing. They then put
several living dogs into his cage. and

left their members on the floor. His
passion being thus inhamed, he would
dart his fangs into the boards and pluck
away large splinters, and again grapple
at the bars of his cage and seem en-
ragged at his restraint from tearing the
world to pieces.
Again. as quite tired out, he would
stretch himself by the remains of his
beloved associate and gather him in
with his paws and put him to his
bosom, and then utter roars of such
terrible melancholy that they seemed
to threaten all around. for the loss of
his little playfellow, the only companion
that he had upon earth
For five days he thus languished.
and gradually declined without taking
any sustenance or admitting any COM
fort, till one morning he was found
dead, with his head lovingly reclined
on the carcass of his little friend.
They were both inferred together. and
Their grave plentifully watered by the
tears of the keeper and his loudly la
menting family.

Around the Thanksgiving Table
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

They take places of honor. If there is
newly wed couple. they would come
next; that is, the bride would be seated
on the left of the host, and the groom
on the left of the hostess. Sometimes
they are not separated and are placed
on the left of the host, usually to their
delight!
The order of precedence would nat
urally be sequence of ages, the eldest
son at the right of the hostess, and his
wife at the right of the host with the
eldest daughter at the left of the host
and her husband at the left Of the
hostess.
If the family is not large enough, nor
the members old enough for several to
be married, the hostess does well to
seat them according to their con-
genialty, always with this in mind, that
placed if possible.
A child who has to be assisted in
cutting up his food should come next
to the mother or father. An older
child can be seated next to a favorite
aunt or uncle if the hostess finds such
arrangement best. Where there are
many children a separate table is often
arranged for them. This is an excel
lent plan, for the youngsters find it
irskome to be quiet during the meal so
that the elders can chat, and it is
equally disturbing for the adults to
have their conversation constantly in
terrupted by chatter of children.
To keep the youngsters fairly quiet at
their table, let them come in just after
the first course has been served the
adults. Then while they are eating this,
the second course can be served at the
table for grown-ups and the plates
be helped for the children. 1t is hard
for the little folk to sit with any sort
of patience and wait with keen ap-
petites while all of their elders are
served.

wouldn't be safe to take one of those
pigs. But they certainly did look good
to me. If one of those pigs wouldn't
make good, tender eating, then don't
know what good, tender eating is. Well,
must try to find something else for
breakfast and forget about those pigs
So Buster wandered on his way. He
found a few acorns here and a few
wild grapes still hanging to the vines
there. But this eating mouthful here
and a mouthful there was very unSatis-
factory. He felt as If the first mouthful
was gone before he found the second
one. All the time he kept thinking of
those pigs.
IT must forget 'em," said Buster in
his deep, rumbly- -grumbly voice, as he
talked to himself. II must forget those
pigs. I will just get so far away from
them that won't think of them. It is
easier not to think of things when you
are long way from them. I will just
run away from those pigs. If don't
they may get me into trouble"
So Buster kept on moving. Now and
then he stopped to dig up root. Once
or twice he tore open an old stump to
get at the nest Of a Wood Mouse. In
fact, he stopped whenever he could find
anything to eat. But this wasn't often,
and SO most of the time Buster was
moving. And all the time he was try
ing to make himself believe that he was
running away from those pigs; that he
was running away from temptation.
Once he crept under big windfall and
took long nap. When he awoke he
came out and started on again.
If find any more pigs" he grum-
bled," ''I'll run away without looking at
them. They are too much of tempta-
ton. Yes, sir, they are too much of a
temptation. That's why I am running
away from those pigs I saw early this
morning. If I hadn't run away they
might have made lot of trouble for
me. They squealed too loud. Yes, sir
they squealed too loud. / suppose they
belong to one of those two-legged crea-
lures that have terrible guns That is
why they are likely to make trouble for
me If I don't leave them alone. I'll
| just stick to the woods
Along about the time the first stars
began to appear in the sky Buster came
to the edge of the woods. He stood up
and looked across to a logpen behind q
small barn. He shifted and he smellec
pig. He listened and he heard grunts
and little squeals. Buster was right
back where he had started from early
that morning. He had simply Travelled
in a great circle. That is the way hi
had run away from those pigs.

human behavior is an ideal only. We
can't come very near to it; if we
could we could predict the measure OF
popularity. 1t required no genius to
predict that the automobile or the
radio or the movies would become pop
ular, because every one realizes both
the convenience and the amusement
and the social possibilities. But to
predict just how popular they would
become and how long the devotion
would last, how much money people
would be willing to spend for them,
and how far they would economize else
where to secure them is impossible
that's the uncertain element of predic-
tion and economically the important
one.
We can all see into human motives,
but We can't plot the chart of their
popularity. The psychology of the au-
tomobile and the radio shows us thc
perspective Of human desires in the
modern setting. 1t isn't unlikely that
the unexpected and unpredictable ele-
ment in 1t is just that added extension
of the ego, that sense of personal en-
largement through automobile and ra-
dio, that Prof. Troland describes. You
feel bigger by reason Of your automo-
bile and your radio.

Nothing about the child is escaping our

The child is marked on effort. on per-

which he has little control over and
little responsibility for in the long run.
A teacher looks at a small boy, first

silk, nails clean and trimmed level,
boots shining, knees showing pink and

Is it fair to mark a dirty little boy
with red ink on his own report card just
. because he comes from a home where
his mother has too much to do to put

too little money to spend on his clothes;

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

November "a, 18O0.-Vice President
Thomas Jefferson arrived in this city
today. AS President Adams and most
Of the members of the Senate and
House of Representatives are already
here it may be said that the Federal
Government is at last completely estab-
lished in the new Federal City on the
Potomac River. The various executive
departments have been here for several
months, having begun their removal
from Philadelphia last Spring.
Mr.. Jefferson intends to live In rooms
in the boarding house of Conrad and
McMunn, who have leased the house
heretofore occupied by Thomas Law
at the northwest corner of New Jersey
avenue and G street southeast. The
adjoining house, also owned by Mr.
Law, has been included In the lease and
is designed for the accommodation of
travellers and the usual patrons Of a
tavern. Members of Congress, who will
be the paying guests of Conrad and
McMunn, will occupy the corner house
in which Vice President Jefferson has
taken up his residence.
Mr.. Jefferson will enjoy distinction
unusual in the present extent of ac-
having parlor or reception room in
addition to a bedroom. But he intends
to eat at the common table with the
other occupants of the boarding house
Across the street, on the northeast
corner of New Jersey avenue and C
street, are two other houses built Ey
MIR. Law. They are leased by Robert
w. Peacock. Another congressional
mess" as these groups of congressional
boarders are called, will find accom-
mediation there.
The Speaker of the House Theodore
Sedwick of Massachusetts,, belongs to
this other mess" In recognition OF
the dignity of his office he is allowed
room to himself, but the rest of the
members are obliged to sleep two in a
room, although on separate beds. The
| rooms, however. are spacious and the
table is regarded as good. so that liv-
ing conditions there are on the whole
rather pleasant.

better than If put in a warm pan.
To keep the stove clean rub

When the stove needs polishing
use paint brush and thus avoid
getting your hands soiled. You
can also reach the small crevices
more readily with the brush.
If you do not use a double

article of food should scorch, set
it Immediately in a vessel of cold

SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.
ViVaeitY.

The other day / heard one girl say
of another, II knew she couldn't be a
college graduate because she had so
much vivacity." That sounded to me
like an indictment of the college, for
| if girl makes her head rich while her
heart grows poor, she is robbmg Peter
to pay Paul.
So there you are, girls. If you are
to be vivacious and peppy you must not
have too much knowledge under your
bonnet, and If you're to be high brow
you're likely to have low color. The
school, it seems, is the thing that Kills
the schoolgirl complexion.
The schools and colleges are on their
guard against this dire result OF TOO
much study, for they prescribe certain
amount of exercise and allow as much
entertainment. But still it often hap
pens that the sweet girl graduate isn't
half as sweet as she is smart.
AS far as the men are concerned, there
doesn't seem to be the same problem
for the men at college put such en-
phasis on foot ball and other sports
that they gain pep rather than lose IL.
There are lots and lots of men who get
more vivacity than anything else from
their college course.
No. it's in the case of the girl student
that the battle between brain and heart,
wisdom and complexion is waged like
the old War of the Roses. It's hard to
be pretty and clever at the same time.
It's just as hard to put in four years
| of college life and come out OF the
dormitory with the jazzy spirit OF the
| happer
But if the men can do this. and II
college doesn't do them any harm,
| there's no reason why girls cannot work
| fri1 Lrpnr1 the hr9f1
| from gypping the girl out of her charm
and complexion.
| Women, however, have just begun to
enjoy the advantages of study, and so
| they go into the college business with
such enthusiasm that they are often
worn out by study. They are, too, IN.
clined to take the problems of the Old
World to heart. and to feel that they
must solve the problems that have
given the sageS headache.
The result is lack of vivacity and that
serious look which the girl picks up on
the campus. Then she wants to show
the men how to study, and she thinks
that fiunking is an everlasting disgrace.
Fortunately for the men, funk means
no more than bump received in fooe
ball game.
But I believe that if girl starts out
with real vivacity her professors won't
be able to take it away from her. The
trouble with many of the Sober Sues
who have gone to college is that they
started that way. and then the college
is blamed for making them too serious.
It's UP to us to show that We can do
all the tricks that men have done and
still retain all the charms and graces
of women. The time has come when
the beautiful but dumb girl must fade
out of the picture, for pretty face can
have thoughtful brain behind it.

from the view of any one in the little
