and come almost as he pleased, IN the
little tunnels he had made along the
surface of the ground. There his
,harpest-eyed enemies could not see
him him Wbile on the surface of the white
snow he could easily be seen from
quite a distance.
So now Danny was very. very careful.
He had made little round hole close to
that tall stalk and when he reached
this he stopped. Very slowly and
cautiously he poked just enough
of his head out to allow his bright little
eyes to look all around in every dlrec..
ton. There he remained, looking ana
looking. Reddy Fox might be some
where about. Hooty the Great Horned
Owl or little sooky the Screech Owl
might be silently flying overhead, ready
to drop on a careless Mouse.
He saw nothing to cause him alarm
and had Just about made up his mind
to climb out when a shadow drlfted
across the white snow just little way
off. Danny didn't need to look up to
find out who made that shadow. 1t
was the shadow of bird with broad
wings. Danny held his breath and didn't
move so much as a whisker
"Hooty the OWL" he exclaimed under
his breath 1T is lucky for me that
cav that shadow when ! did. Just
wee minute more and I would have
been out there. Well, he won't stay
long; he likes the Green Forest best J"

This is the price one has to pay
when one refuses to accept and make
the best Of life, insists on estranging
ones self from the great home circle Of
the inhabitants of the world with whom
life is cast. 1t is one to give pause
for thought. How can one learn to
make ones self at home in this uni
verse?
There are certain rules and regula-
tions in every household which are
carefully considered by the homemaker
in order to foster the we'll being and
happiness of the members of the fam
lily. So also there are great laws gov
erning the universe which cannot be
disregarded by those who would be at
home in it. These pertain to physical,
mental and spiritual life. If one Is in
clined to discredit the life of the spirit,
let him call it by any preferred name
that signifies the psychological life of
the thought world, that life which
every one realizes, although it is in
tangible in itself.
Learn to see the good in others and
to recognize it in yourself. Think
kindly Of those about you. Do not dis
regard the physical we'll being of your
self or those of the family.

THIS is simply Dannys way of say
ing that most people have per-
feet faith in their eyes and be
i lieve that they see what they
think they see. Usually TINS Is
true. Were it not true. eyes would be
of little use. Yet eyes sometimes are
deceived. Again, just the opposite Is
true: eyes see correctly, but the things
they see are so strange that their posses
sor refuses to believe them. In short
he doubts his own eyes. Just this thlng
happened to Danny Meadow Mouse:
Danny had climbed up tall mullen
stalk to reach the surface of the snow
that covered the Green Meadows. He
had it in mind to run about bit in
the moonlight and perhaps gather a
few seeds from the top OF weeds that
stood above the snow. He often did
this, for in this way it was easy to get
plenty to eat. 1t was much easier than
climbing those tall weeds when there
was no snow. But it was risky. Yes,
sir. it was risky. No one knew this
better than did Danny. Under the
snow, especially when it was crusted

Handwriting
What 1t May Reveal.

ty<HA ~
Qutu&t -

TH HIS writer has perhaps sudden
changes Of disposition. One
day she may be happy-go-
L lucky and care-free the next
she may be worried and de-
spondent over really trivial matters.
This tendency is indicated by the ir-
regularity of size Of her letters Some
are very small, while in other instances
lower-case letters may be larger than
capitals
She probably feels things very in
tenSely. reaCting keenly to both JOY
and sorrow Music in particular may
have deep effect on her. influencing
her moods. Because of this trait she
would seem to be the type to become
a successful musician or dancer. Feel
ing the effect of tone and rhythm so
intensely herself, it should be easy for
her to display this emotion to others
1t would be foolish, however, for her
to believe that success in these lines
| could come without real study and ap-
plication. The necessary years Of
preparation would but pave the way
for an opportunity to become a real
artistic.
The marked size of the capital IT"
apparently indicates that she may often
think of herself first. This trace of
selfshness should be easy for her to
overcome if she will exert conscious
effort. 1t may be thoughtlessness that
causes her to disregard the needs and
desires of others at times when she
might help them.
She probably enjoys the companion
ship Of both men and women. In
formal parties and dances, where a
spirit of Jolly merrymaking prevails
would poSsib appeal to her most. The
more formal teas and receptions would
perhaps bore her, making her distant
and reserved with other guests. In her
social life. as in all things, she should
seek freedom Of expression.

The oyster situation along the

who defe: us the closing of the

The Virginia legislature ordered
the closing in 1880 and Maryland
followed a year later, he said,
adding that the oyster bars of the
river have had no rest or rehabili-
tation for las years and badly
needed restocking. The U. S.
Bureau of Fisheries made this
recommendation, and it was fol.
lowed.
BY the compact of 1875, the
Potomac River. which is under
jurisdiction of Maryland, has been
used by oystermen of both Mary.
land and Virginia. Present oyster
conditions along the river have

Mr.. Val is attempting to secure
