Though for time the elements reigned
supreme, man eventually emerged trl-
umphant, somewhat chastened perhaps,
but also somewhat wiser, for each oc-
casion of this sort teaches him valu-
able lesson, which can be used later in
the continual warfare he must wage
against disasters of nature.
1t is to be regretted that the storm

inspired screaming headlines in coast

here. Not single brick was dislodged

putting the statement that such reports
scattered throughout the country do no
good to Imperial Valley.

We have heard that the Zulu folk are
fierce savages: but when we land near

being fierce came from the warfare they
waged against white men who came to
conquer their homeland.
We gaze at a Zulu woman who Is

The jar is filled with water which she
has brought from a spring, without

Most Zulus make their living by keep

The village is made up of huts of bee

Geese. All that night he remained
there without once having a shadow OF
a chance of catching one OF those Dig
birds
Il suppose that they will leave as
usual at daylight" thought he disconso-
lately. So you can guess how oe-
lighted he was when, after much CAB
bling, the flock settled down to stay for
that day and another night Every
time he looked at one OF those great
birds Reddy's mouth watered, which
meant that 1t was watering most OF the
time. for there we're few moments that
he didn't have his eyes on one or more
of those Geese. The more his mouth
watered the greater became his appe-
tite. He was ready to take almost any
chance to try to catch one. But ne
didn't have much hope that chance
would come In the first place there
was wise old Honker at the head OF the
flock and on guard most of the time.
Then, too most of the flock were old,
with the wisdom of long experience.
However, there was the young Can
der whom Jerry MuSkrat had warned
Just in time the night before, and two
or three others of about his age. one
of them might, just might. happen 10

Reddy waited and watched and watched
and waited and his mouth watered and
his appetite grew. And at last the very
thing happened that he had hoped for
but not expected: a young Goose came
ashore right in front of the place where
Reddy was hiding and squatted down,
with her back to him.
Reddy quivered all over He quivered
so with eagernesS that it was a wonder
he did not make some of the leaves
rustic. He waited until he was sure
that she intended to remain there.
Then he began to creep slowly, care
fully, an inch at time, pausing and
holding his breath every time that
Goose moved the least bit. Now his
mouth watered more than ever. 1t was
too good to be true Yes, sir, it was too
good to be true. That dinner OF Goose
was already as good as his. Anyway
that is the way he felt about it.
And then for no apparent reason
that Goose got to her feet, turned and
looked straight at him. 1t was now or
never. Reddy leaped for that long
neck and-waS knocked Sprawling by
blow from a great wingl Instantly he
was on his feet, leaping for that long,

she made a soap jelly from white soap

simply couldn't stay away. AS usual,
they found that there were others on

an appetite for goose. And as usual
they found that wise old Honker was
in charge of the flock and quite aware
of the hungry folk prowling or hiding
around the edge of the pond.

her clothes, Joan's, young Peters and
Susan's. 1t is true that the 6-month

little was not fussy, but even so-the
laundry basket was always full of
clothes.
Many Of the little dresses and suits

from the color in the prints was quite
a trick. Nancy had mastered it. Want
