Everyday Psychology
Intolerance.
N On. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

Intolerance Is q name for o state of
mind; it is symptom of mental
disease. A great many Of our common
ailments may be traced back to some
faulty organization Of ideas.
There are at least three kinds Of In
tolerant persons. First, there is the in
tolerant person who has developed q
system Of water-tight compartments for
his ideas. He refuses to be influenced
by the fact that most questions are
open propositions.
In the second sense, intolerance is
related to laziness, which is a disease.
So affiicted, the intolerant man easily
imagines that he has been intrusted
with the guardianship of flnalities. IN
able to defend his position against the
onslaughtS of the inquiring, he resorts
to that curious mechanism called ra-
tionalization. He flies into a mental
tantrum and summarily dismisses all
his questioners as enemies.
In the third sense, intolerance means
inferiority. The intolerant man tries
to cover up his inferiority by assilm-
ing superiority. Parading as guard
ian of truth and flnality, protesting
that he Is honest, he poses as victim
or organized opposition in order to
save his face" A person never be-
comes intolerant until he at least
vaguely surmises that he is losing his
grip on things, that some one has par
TALLY removed the mask he assumed for
the protection Of his precious opinions.

Farmer Browns Boy.

Farmer Browns Boy learned this
long ago. The one who can outwait
will often outwit another. So when
Whistler the Marmot scrambled down
his hole among the rocks in a panic at
the discovery Of Farmer Browns Boy so
near, the latter at once planned to see
more OF this shy cousin of Johnny
Chuck
HE won't come out for some time,
because he got bad fright" thought
Farmer Browns Boy. "It IS going to be

until ne feels sure that I have left.
Then he will come out, and the first
thing he will do will be to look here.
where he last saw me, and won't be
here. Then he'll look all around, and
not seeing me will be sure that have
gone. The first thing for me to do is
to find new hiding-place"
He looked about carefully. There
were plenty of places where he could
hide among the rocks, but none suited
him. He either could see out in only
his head above a rock, and he knew
that the slightest movement would
spoil his plans, for Whistler would be
sure to see him.
"I'n build a hiding-place out of
rocks" he decided at last. Presently he
found place to suit him. There were
some big, nat pieces Of rock not too big
for him to lift, and with these he
rooted over little place among the
rock where he would have room enough
to be comfortable and at the same time
could peep out in all directions. Into
this he crept and prepared for q long
wait. 1t was only short distance from
the hole where Whistler had disap-
peared and would, he felt sure. re-
appear.
IN fool him this time," he chuckled
as he settled down.
Meanwhile, down deep among the
rocks in his snug home Whistler was
also planning. IT don't like those two
legged creatures; I'm afraid of them"
he muttered. They can't be trusted.
No, sir, they can't be trusted. I don't
know how that one ever got 30 near

Novelty in Family Experiences

blessing into a bane. For instance cook
ing ingredients are staples. From time
to time new articles are found to be
edible which increases the number but
without altering the necessity OF the
older kinds Flour is as important to-
day as when it was first used, more i'm
portant If anything Cloth Is as neces-
sary as it was in the beginning, what
ever changes th2re are in designs and
patterns.
In the realm of human nature the
fundamentals remain as blessings, and
in the psychological scope novelty Is as
apt to be bane as a blessing. Marriage,
for example, is the foundation of home
life. The family is the groundwork OF
social system. The happy home is the
blessing of nation
The desire for change, for novelty
Is the bane of many home. 1t Is the
cause for hundreds Of divorces. A wom-
an fails to instil into the home the
thousands Of possible and legitimate
little touches of novelty. She closes her
eyes to the chances she has TO provide
the right amount of variety, and settles
down into what eventually becomes a
humdrum existence. When this pals she
thinks she can get novelty, which she
terms happiness, through divorce. But
does she? Are there not unhappy mar
riageS of Divorces?
A husband allows himself to be sat-
isf1ed with the round Of business and
the round Of home life without con-
tributing his share to the interest Of
the household. Failing to do this he
gets dissatisfied and believes divorce will
give him freedom and change. But it Is
not the blessing he Graves, since so
often 1t means another marriage which
as often fails as the first. The novelty
Of change does not prove q blessing
but bane.
When a man and woman marry
they should realize they have made
their foundation on which to build hap
piness. It is the staple which can be
given enough novelty by and through
their own efforts at homemaking to
prove blessing.

When Winter comes, the beetles seek

Another way Is to wait for the little

or three hours passed and he had about
made up his mind that he was wasting

of Whistler poking out from between

Farmer Browns Boy chuckled, but Il
was a soundless chuckle. THE rascal
has another doorway and has been

In q few minutes Whistler's whole
head appeared and his eyes were Axed
on the place where Farmer Browns Boy
had first hidden. Satisfied that he was
not there, Whistler climbed up on q
rock and took hasty, but careful, look
