| "It would be shame not to get them
while we can. We wouldn't be so fat
now If 1t were not for those seeds"
1--WE are too fat" declared Nanny
ANYWAY, you are. If you get any
| fatter YOU won't be able to move quick
| ly enough to get out of the way OF
, danger. You take my advice and keep
down under the snow. That Is what
I am going to do"
Nanny was as good as her word
Danny couldn't induce her to go up
to the surface with him. "Pooh! said
Danny. There's no danger. All we
have tn do is to peep out and look all
around before we climb out. I, for one,
don't intend to miss those fine seeds. y
So Danny continued to go up to the
surface whenever he felt like it. He
had one or two favorite weeds which
he climbed. Sometimes he would go
up in the daytime and sometimes he
would go up at night, for Danny and
Nanny are as active at night as in
the day. You see, they believe in
sleeping when you want to sleep, eating
when YOU want to eat and going and
coming when you feel like it. So
Danny got in the habit of using the
same weeds over and over for climbing
up to the surface of the snow. And
having formed the habit, he became
careless in the manner of climbing. At
first he would climb very cautiously.
When he would reach the surface he
would first stop for while with only
his nose and eyes showing, and then
he would look long and carefully to be
sure that no enemy was about.
But after a while Danny became
careless. 1t often is that way. We
become careless in matters with which
we are very familiar. You know how
it is yourself. If you cross street
every day you get SO that you don't
look out for danger nearly as sharply
as you did when you first began to
cross the street. So it was with Danny.
He would scramble up the stalk Of
weed. and do it SO hurriedly that he
would shake that weed, whereas at first
he took the greatest care not to shake
the weed. Then, having reached the
surface, he would pop right out before
looking around.
Over and over again Nanny Meadow
Mouse warned Danny that sooner or
later something would happen If he
were not more careful. She was wiser
than he-much wiser. She meant to
be safe, rather than sorry.

Coffee.

In those long-vanished days Of yore,
when we old graybeards wrought and
strove, we bought green coffee at the
store and baked it in the kitchen stove
We never got it twice the same; one
time it would be underdone, the next
it from the oven came so charred 1t
was thing to shun. One cup of coffee
would be weak, the next would be as
strong as lye; and when man drank 1t
for week he thought it was high time
to die Good coffee was extremely rare,
so rare that when one had a sip, he'd
talk about it everywhere, nor let a
chance of boosting slip. Bad coffee,
with its tanbark smells, was universal
long ago; in boarding houses and no.
tells, in private homes, creating woe.
Now coffee'S roasted by machines that
work with more than human skill; no
longer do we run the beans, half roast
ed, through the coffee mill. No longer
do we fill the shack with smoke from
coffee badly charred, and wreck the
house from front to back, and hand out
language by the yard. Good coffee has
become the rule, it's served to us day
after day, if perched upon a chophouse
stool, or in a millionaire cafe. The
workman in his humble cot has .cof1ee
At for any king, and as he drinks 1t, rich
and hot. he pauses but to smile and
sing. And where the moral boarders
eat their luscious prunes and corned
beef hash, the coffee is daily treat
that makes them glad to pay their cash:
And so, in fifty-seven ways, the world
grows better right along; and men who
brag of olden days are dreaming dreams
and wildly wrong. WALT MASON.

Nanny Wiser Than Danny.
The wise know when to be afraid.
And every warning is obeyed.
Old Mother Nature

Danny Meadow Mouse fastened to
tell Nanny Meadow Mouse that he
suspected that Roughleg the Hawk was
keeping special watch of the places
where Reddy Fox had dug in the snow
after Meadow Mice.
I'VE know" he explained to Nanny,
shat when Reddy Fox or Mrs. Reddy
or Old Man Coyote has dug down into
the snow trying to catch one of us,
that place has always been safe for
some time afterward None of them
wastes any time watching place
where they have already dug. I be-
lieve old Roughleg has found that out
and now he Is watching all those
places dug in the snow. So we'll just
keep away from them"
THAT is good sense, Danny" said
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-02-08

Nanny, "but I can tell you something
that Is better sense STILL
"What?" demanded Danny.
Keep away from the surface alto
gether," replied Nanny. I'VE don't
have to go up there. We can get
plenty to eat underneath the snow
where we cannot be SEEN"
But Just think of all those good
seeds it is so easy to get from the sur
face of the snow" retorted Danny.

The Coal Industry

In the light of public experience with the soft coal
industry with its periodical strikes and ockouts the
following statement of President Charles F. Conn of
the Giant Portland Cement Company of Philadelphia
is curiously interesting.
Experience has shown that the coal industry, if
left alone can and will perform all its obligations to
the public and consequently the public feels that the
industry should be given entire freedom in the han
ding of its internal problems"
With MI. Conn we can not agree
If there is industry in the country that has
proved its inability to organize and govern ITSELF it is
the coal industry. 1t has been given entire freedom
in handling its internal problems Yet disorgapzaton
in an industry couldn't well be worse.
1t can't get along with labor. It cant prevent
strikes, although almost the entire strength of the
federal government expressed by drastic injunc-
lions, has been thrown on its side.
1t has been left alone. And up to now it has failed

SEEMS
TOME
BY HAYWOOD
BROUN

II NEVER have seen Latin being
4 introduced to a lady without be-
ing filled with envy. This is not
a rference to any of the familiar
theories about the clumsy Anglo
Saxon who understands nothing of
the art of love. I simply mean that
1 would like to know how to kiss
lady's hand with proper grace ana
agility.
Many years ago Rudyard Kipling
wrote short story in which he
dealt not unkindly with an expatri-
ate American who was endeavoring
to become Anglicized.
Kipling said that when an Amer
lean had learned a correct golf
swing he had come to be, to all
practical purposes, a Briton. The
man in the story never could learn.
He remained to the end a duffer
and an American. Bobby Jones was
not yet born when the story was
written and Hagen was small and
probably very fresh kid.
mean to say that if nation
can learn a movement as difficult
as the full st. Andrews swing, there
is no reason why we should fear
ultimate failure in the matter of
kissing a hand.
AS things are now, the average
American goes about things all
wrong. He raises the hand to his
lips instead of bending over it. The
spirit is that of man in a hurry
with vegetable diner rather than
that of reverence and alteration.

Indeed there is every reason to believe that Hoover

Indeed there is every to believe that Hoover
favors the investigation and wants it to continue.
The senate committee already has revealed how
a grand jury investigation suppressed in Okla
homa last year just as Indian Commissioner Burke
was about to be indicted. Burke appealed to Secre-
tary of Interior Work. who in turn asked Attorney
General Sargent to stop the grand jury proceedings
That was done.
The committee has heard Burke charge Senator
Pine with being in dastardly conspiracy tc destroy
him politically, and after hearing 3urke's evidence
has held that the charge was without founostion
The committee has revived the old Jackson Bar
nett Indian case but little has been done to deter
minte whether fraud existed
The committee has developed testimony to show
that Indians have been robbed of their lands and
money by INSCRIPTIONS persons that these wards
often have been victims of cruelty and neglect under
the Indian bureau, and that better legislative and
administrative protection must be accorded them
Obviously, the committees work only has begun
Many more weeks of hearings will be required to
collect and weigh testimony of the many witnesses
who are volunteering charges.
This inquiry must not be sdetracked, as Work
and Sargent stopped the Burke court proceedings.
The public wants to know the worst-then the house.
