especially when in a strange place.
And he had learned to have a great
respect for this strange desert land
and for the little people who lived
there and got along without water. He
couldn't understand it and he gave
up trying to.
They must be very different from
me or any of the people whom know"
said he, as he thought the matter over.
They are all queer. ANY one who can
live without water is queer
1t never once popped into his head
that those same little people probably
thought him queer because he couldn't
live without water. From Old Mother
Natures standpoint he wasn't queer
and neither were they. Each was fitted
to live in his own particular place and
there Is nothing queer about that.
Flip was satisfied now to stay at
the ranch unless his master, Farmer
Browns Boy, took him on trips. Then
he took care never to lose sight of his
master. Never again would he wander
off on the desert. There was plenty to
do and see on the ranch, and Flip
spent a lot of time poking his inquisi-
tive little nose into all sorts of places
and discovering various little people
whom he never had seen before. He
had lot of fun chasing various men,
bers of the Lizard family, and it was
while he was doing this that he one
day encountered a small person who
queerest people he ever had seen.
From almost under his feet in q
sandy spot on which rays of the sun
poured holly a curious little fellow
darted to one side and stopped. Flip
stopped abruptly and stared. Never
had he seen any one like this. His
body was fiat. and so broad as to be

broad where 1t joined the body, and
narrowed to sharp point. Around
his head like a crown, were long spines
or horns, and all around the edge of

His back carried many little spines
also. In color he was pale brown, with
a narrow band of paler color down
the middle of his back and faint dark
er spots on his neck and back.

impolitely.

Nancy's Favorite Dishes

"Pease porridge hot and pease por-

Fresh young peas are never spoiled by
making into porridge-at least. that is
what Nancy believed She had two or
three ways Of cooking peas that were
different and yet did not destroy the
fresh flavor.
When she was buying peas she looked
for medium-sized pods, well filled and
plump. She wanted the pods to be satin
smooth on the outside, not wrinkled and
hoary with age. She usually snapped a
pod 70 see whether it was fresh enough
to break sharply, or whether it was limp

Occasionally she cooked few pods in

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. ePRowLS.
Forgetting.

Human beings are sometimes victims
of their own memories. In other words,
they remember too well, because they
ponder too long and too often over the
things they would like to forget.
A good forgettery Is, in the long
run, better mental asset than a good
memory. Some one should work out
some practical worthwhile method for
promoting an ability to forget.
Little by little, psychologists have
begun to get down to the significant
facts about the things we remember
and the things we forget.
The situation would be about as fol-
lows: We remember the painful events
too painfully. The pleasant events be-
long in the same class as the multiple
cation tables, historical dates and other
ordinary items of information. We don't
attach any emotional significance to
them.
There seems to be a great difference
between a recollection and memory.
A recollection is readable event, and
memory is a revivable experience.
Organize your feelings around any
event and memory is established.
Painful events become painful expert
ences chiefly because you take them
too seriously.

Strongest Force i'm Home Life
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

we have learned to control no force to
absolute perfection. Even electric cur
rents will sometimes cross, and some
times fail to function. So loving souls
do not always agree In ideas. methods
of work or estimates Of people and
things. Personalities enter into equa-
tons.
In every family there are times when
members express themselves decidedly
and not always agreeably. and currents
of misunderstanding dull the accus-
toned beauty of home life. Such times
should not be allowed to make any I'M
preston upon The underlying strata OF
real love and affection, and should be
blurred in memory.
They are but the froth Of weary
minds or of those perplexed by prob
lens and should no more be considered
as fundamentally disturbing the love
back Of them than does a tempest in
fiuence in the least degree the shining
of the sun which remains behind 1t
