all the time It probably Is down the
Laughing Brook, below the Smiling
Pool. Ill go down there and look.
Probably Jerry Just hid and then
swan up there as soon as I was out
of sight. Some day I will get even with
him. Yes, sir, some day win get even
with him"
SO, after he had rested a bit, away
went Peter, lipperty- lipperty-lip, back
to the Smiling Pool. AS soon as he
came IN sight OF the Smiling Pool he
spied Jerry Muskrat sitting on the Big
Rock. Jerry was opening a clam. He
didn't see Peter. Peter had opened
his mouth to tell Jerry what he
thought Of him when he decided that
he wouldn't let Jerry know that he
had been looking for his house. So
Peter drew back out Of sight and waited
until Jerry Muskrat had dived and dis
appeared. Then Peter hurried around
to the little swamp below the Smiling
Pool, and there he had no better luck
than before.

Hit-and-Run Drivers,

owen B. Augspurger, president OF the
New York Automobile Club and noted
student of traffic regulation, has become
alarmed at the leniency shown hit-and-

and has filed a protest on behalf of his
club, which, Ike the District of Column

Association, pay one hundred dollars

OF this number forty-eight cases are

Both because the phrase Is piquant

William Mather Lewis of Lafayette

as a reward for their aimless endurance,

the diagnosis, it is of passing interest
(if the quotation is correct) to find a
college president who news clean when
he finds an inf1nitive construction
worth splitting.
These academic tree-sitters are IA
miliar. Most colleges recognize them
and tolerate them, though with an In
creasing distaste. The comfort of their

must be elevated. This process is like

Beware those beautiful red leaves

The general dissertation OF the coun-
| tryside in order to get free material
with which to decorate" fireplace Is
very much beside the mark.
|. In the first place, branches full OF
| leaves do not decorate. There Is an
incongIuous, messy look about some
thing dragged In from the great out
doors.
The old words, east is East and
West is West, and never the twain
shall meet" apply beautifully to the
outdoors. and the indoors.
1t Is no longer permissible, according
to the tenets of interior decoration, TO
| haul in a chunk of the outdoors and
blend it with the bit of civilization
known today as the living room.
They won't blend. They do not har-
mopjze.
Hence the big cench shells which once
graced every msntel have disappeared
from the land. One may wonder what
has become of them, but the sure
thing Is that they are gone.
Occasionally a traveller viii nnd

seldom do IN. an interior, which Is phi
marily a work of art, or at least an at

Nature. if it be applied as an art
motif. must be handled in a way which
makes It unnatural. This is principle
which many do not understand. II
does not mean that Nature Is made
what 1t should not be, but solely tnat
it is made into something which IL
should be for an interior.
Man has progressed, one likes TO

Therefore let the glowing branches
of leaves alone in their native haunts,
where for many weeks they will please,
instruct and thrill thousands of persons.
Another fault of the Nature vandal
is that he or she never does the work
skillfully.
If a branch were scientifically cut,
and the wound properly healed, Autumn
specimens might be dragged home,
perhaps.
AS it Is, people merely rend branches
from trees, peeling away great deal
of bark, leaving an ugly wound, and
causing what is left to take on an ugly
appearance.
Most people who have cut such
branches, at some time or other, either
thoughtlessly or at the suggestion of
some other thoughtless person, have
had this experience:

police the name Of his assailants, and
so closely are these underworld secrets
guarded that his murderers have never
been caught. The Rothstein case re-
suited in shake-up of the New York
Police Department and its echoes are
still being heard Perhaps the Diamond
case, in its entirety, will run along the
same lines.
Although arrested twenty-three times
by the police, five of them in connection
with mysterious murders, Diamond, ex-
cept for a short reformatory sentence
when he was seventeen years old, has
escaped the clutches of the law. But,
like so many of his ilk, he seems des-
tined to meet a violent end. A few
years ago while walking with Little
Augie" Orgen, Diamond nearly suffered
the same fate as his companion. Orgen
was killed with two bullets. Diamond,
although wounded five times in the
fusillade, lived to receive the salvo of
yesterday.
It seems a pity that these men who
possess brain superiority over their fell
lows cannot make an honest living.
If a gangster is clever enough to rise
to the head of his mob" and to evade
punishment by law for his crimes he
almost invariably meets his death by
being put on the spot" If he Is not
clever enough to fool the police he
spends most of his time in the COM
parative security of penitentiary, al
though cases are on record OF gang
feuds being settled in deadly manner
in the various jails of this country.
The only lure, it would seem, of this
type of criminality is the undoubtedly
luxurious living which it furnishes. But
it is a losing game from start to finish
II the law does not succeed in putting
an. end to q gangster's activities his
enemies in the underworld will, sooner
or later, do 1t in a far more drastic
manner.
Diamonds assailants may never be
found. If so, it is simply another case
of the underworld taking care OF It's
own.

, discovered that for some strange rea-
son it did not look so beautiful to them
as they had expected it would.
Not only did it appear out Of place,
cluttering up an otherwise handsome
f1reside, but the leaves began to take
on a withered look.
1t was Natures retribution.
The great god Pan still watches out
for his children, and those mortals who

II one must pillage the woods. let

Instead of cutting enough branches

This is what one may call the jap
anese principle of decoration, by the
use of flowers principle which may
be commended to Americans, not only
because it secures beautiful results, but
also because it provides lesson in the
economics of art.
AS a race, we want to have the big

at am ashamed to say It," said q
much-traveled woman, but the lowlleSt
coolie in China has a better philosophy
than the average American"
We all know what she meant with
out any lengthy explanation. A philos-
ophy of living Is something which one
may or may not have. One may just
live, as the animals do. Lions, tigers,
dogs, cats live very nicely WITHOUT once
thinking about 1t.
Thousands of human beings the
world over live in exactly the same
way. and one would be talking only
theoretically If he said that they do
not live.
Sometimes it is fashionable to de-
clare that such people merely "vege-
tate" but they live ell right. Those
who think about their living as they
go along prefer TO believe that they are
more civilized and get more out Of
life, as no doubt they are and do.
30 small n JIllnB do DISQUALIFICATION
IN the use of cut flowers or branches
of leaves may show another great
deal as to the civilized qualities OF
the human being involved.
A blue bowl, in which is placed q
twig filled with red leaves, will give
an entirely different appearance to q
bare wall.
The wall will no longer be bare.
A green vase, in which are q few
short branches of bayberry, will liven
up an entire room in a discreet sort OF
way.
Nothing flaming there, but some
thing eminently attractive in q well
bred sort of way.
Gather such material from your own
yard If possible, or receive it as gifts
from friends. But If one insists on
cutting it from the fields, he should
cut with a sparing hand, remember
ing that haste makes waste and that
too little is better than too much.
Above all, do not seize hold Of nice,
red leaves just because they are red.
First be sure they are not poison ivy,
which grows luxuriantly all around
Washington.
