Your Baby and Mine

In every community, in fact In al
most every household, there are SELF
appointed critics who take upon them
selves the burden Of sweeping in front
Of every door but their own. They are
those who always manage to point out
some fault In the management, feeding
or general care Of every child except
their own.
Many times these critics have no
children Of their own, but their inter-
est In the neighbors' children Is In no
way snuffed out. Indeed, Now II that
were my child" Is the second sentence
of their daily outbursts.
Sensitive mothers are harrassed by
these articulate gnats even II they do
not follow their advice. Life Is always
simpler for any of US when we know
our actions are applauded. Mrs. F. r.
has q neighborhood situation duplicat-
ed q thousand times In every city. She
writes: MY husband and are faithful
readers of your column. Will you give
Us the benefit of your experience IN the
oughfare, and as our home Is always
used for business purposes 1t Is i'm
practical for us to move. We have q
boy Of two and girl of six months.
What yard we have cannot be fenced
In, and in order to let Jim play safely
In the air and sunshine 1t Is necessary
to tie him UP.
IT do all my own work and cannot
watch him constantly. tried caution
ing him about going on the street, but
I was aroused one day by grinding OF
brakes and the footing of horns to the
knowledge that q 2-year-old cannot
be trusted. He has a harness, and ]
fasten q rope to this that will allow
him to 60 as far as he could go safely
II he were not tied. At first he object
ed strenuously, but have talked with
him and explained the reason, and he
has become reconciled to the idea. -.
Nevertheless 1t seems that We can't
consider ourselves. There are some per-
sons who think it terrible to tie him up.
I have even heard of humane societies
taking q hand in such q matter. We
don't feel that this is wrong, but we
want your opinion. Our babies are very
dear to us, and their welfare Is our
only consideration"
The type of tying up to which hui
name societies object Is quite different,
Mrs. r. r. There are. parents who are
cruel enough to tie children all day to
bedposts, then go away and leave them
to scream or starve or exist as bet they
may. The two things are not to be
compared, and thoroughly approve OF
using this safe and harmless method
of keeping q small child in the yard
We have to be responsible for these
tots. and while this should not be over
done 80 that he never learns caution,
it Is a good method If you can't watch
him. think it ia rleSs cruel than
making q child of this age responsible
for his behavior and then beating him
II he runs away. Let the neighbors
rave.

MEN WHO FAIL

The men who fail are all around us,
discouraged, broken, weary gents, and
sometimes they pursue and hound us
with sad requests for so cents. They
have no savings wisely sailed, they lack
the shilling and the crown, and, Spav-
ined, sweenied and string halted, they
drag themselves around the town.
There Is no sadder thing, I'm weening,
than gazing on the men who fail, the
broken delegates careening toward the
poorhouse or the jail. Once they were
their dreams, like other wightS, they
would attain q fne condition, and they
would scale the shining heights. One
man, perchance, was fond Of roaming,
he didn't like the local view, and he set
forth, forever combing the landscape for
sensations new. He found the cheap
and gaudy pleasure that may reward
the rolling stone: but now he has no
sort Of treasure, he has no buck, he
roams alone. His friends who stayed at
home are loaded with coin enough TO I'LL
Il goaded by hunger's well known pangs
and pains. One was exceeding gay and
risky, and, since he'd be a long time
dead, he bought large stoups of gin and
whiskey, and painted all the village
red. The rector told him he was head
ing for all the grief the gods can send,
that he would ind ferocious shedding
before his journey had an end. But he
knew best and went on BOOKING, regard
less of the heavy cost, and long ago we
saw him losing the grip that's now COM
pletely lost Another would not save q
nickel when he was young and strong
and gay; he would not put q dime In
pickle against the far famed rainy day.
II he had prudent been and thrifty, he
now might have his easy cltair, with eli
around him snug and nifty, with com.
fort basking everywhere.

It was in Potion, at the siege OF the
castle of Chaluz, that Richard the Lion
hearted came to the end OF his adven-
turous career.
The Vicomte de Limoges, from Poitou,
had sent him two mule burdens OF sill
yer. part of q treasure in his hands
Richard sent back word he must have
mo" replied the vicomte. "Only
gold belongs to the suzerain; silver Ii
halved."
Richard promptly marshaled his
troops. mostly Brabancon mercenaries,
and marched of to seize the remainder
of the booty. He believed 1t to be con-
cealed in the castle of Chaluz
During the assault an arched named
Bertrand de Gourdon, shooting from
the walls, pierced Richards shoulder
with an arrow. The wound was slight
and no fear was felt. but Richards
surgeons mangled the wound terribly In
trying to extract the arrow head. Inc
wound festered, and soon 1t was appar-
ent that the warrior must die.
Richards captain, Mercadet, pushed
on the attack and captured the castle.
He brought Bertrand de Gourdon TO
the tent of his victim. He expected
that Richard would order terrible
punishment for the archer, but Richard
acted nobler role.
"Villain," he asked when Gourdon
was brought before him, wherefore
hast thou slain me?"
Because" was the reply. "thou hast
with thine own hand killed my father
and my two brothers. Torture me as
thou wilt, I shall rejoice in having
freed the world of tyrant."
Richards feyered eyes filled with adj
niration.
"Well spoken" he said, Gas Q brave
man should speak"
He turned to Mercadet. "Let this
man 20 free" he commanded.
Mercadet obeyed him. But though

of grass all around that can for some
distance, but no smell of Mouse did he
get. Then he came back and sat down
beside that can to try to think the mat
ter out. No sooner had he sat down
than he Sneiled the Mouse again. He
knew that 1t was not the scent left by
Mouse, but the scent Of Mouse that
was right close ut hand. He tingled
all over. He actually looked up In the
bushes, half expecting to see Mouse
above his head somewhere. You see.
Reddy knows that mice do climb up In
bushes sometimes. But no Mouse was
in the bushes above his head.
Reddy leaned forward little and the
Mouse smell became stronger. With 1t
was mingled the man smell. And right
then Reddy realized that that smell
came from that old tin can. He put
his nose to the top Of that can. He
got the man smell where Farmer
Browns Boy had had the handle Of
the can In his hand. But stronger,
much stronger. was the smell Of Mouse
hole In the top Of the can. Reddy put
his nose TO that round hole and then
shifted. A look Of pleasure came into
those crafty eyes Of his. He grinned.
He almost laughed aloud. That Mouse
was In that canl

her many times. but now really have
caught her. She must have been In
this old can when Farmer Browns Boy
picked IL up. He didn't know he was
bringing her over here for ma, but
that's what he was doing"
Reddy put his black nose 10 that
hole in the can and shifted once more.
Down inside that can poor little Nanny
Meadow Mouse shivered and shook as
she heard that hungry sniff. She had
heard 1t before and she knew who It
was that was snifdng. Reddy Fox had

Richards favorite sister, Joan, Queen

Richard, asking aid. She was expect

well as the cost of minting. There was
not O chance in the world to lose.
But Uncle Sam declined.
As Q matter of fact, commemorative
coins have always irked him. They
have q habit Of bouncing back after
they are issued-at times In huge guam
titles. There were those 1000, 900 silver
pieces, for instance, which he issued
for the Sesquicentennial at Philadel-
phia. BY actual count, 100000 Of them
came back to the mints to 60 in the

Uncle Sam reports sadly:
"Jt is understood that large num-
bers of them are on hand, unsold. ct
the banks"
Experience of the past 10 years has
had its effect. Fifteen special coins
have been issued during that time
an average of q new half dollar every
eight months. And they have been
bOOmerangs.
While q guarantee Is required that
all such coins viii be taken, there Is no
method by which they can be prevented
from eventually getting back to the

but could ind none. He tried to put

% do that, because he knew exactly
where Farmer: Browns Boy had gone.
He did 1t from habit.
Presently Reddy came to the bushes
on the edge Of the Green Meadows. "It
was right here that Farmer Browns
Boy threw something away" said Reddy
TO himself I'll look around and see
what 1t was. Probably it was nothing to
interest me, but at least 1t win satisfy
my curiosity"
So Reddy began to look around and
IL didn't take him long TO find that
old oil can. At first he didn't know
that this was the thing Farmer Browns
Boy had thrown there. but when he
started to smell of 1t he got the man
smell and then he knew. "Huhi" NUT
tered Reddy. ST wonder what he
brought this old can way over here for?"
Just then Reddy got something be-
sides the man smell. 1t was the smell
of Mouse. Il was the smell Of Meadow
Mouse. Reddy lifted his nose and very
carefully tested the air. Enthusiastically
he smelled Mouse. Reddy forgot all
about Farmer Browns Boy. Down went
his nose to the ground and Reddy
began to eagerly search all around that
can. He was puzzled. He didn't get
that Mouse smell. He poked his nose
under the leaves. into every little bunch
