Unintended Kindness.
More often than is ever meant
A deed reverses true intent.
-Striped Chipmlink

7 T goes without saying that when
Striped Chipmunk planned to rob
Red-eye the Vireo Of his precious
i eggs he was thinking only of self
and at least partly satisfying an
appetite for eggs, nice fresh eggs. There
wasn't a kind thought in his funny
little head. Yet he did for Red-eye
what Red-eye couldn't do for himself,
and to this day he desn't know it.
It was Red-eye who discovered
Striped Chipmunk at the nest and
with a cry Of warning to Mrs. Red-eye
dashed headlong at Striped Chipmunk.
Mrs. Red-eye flew at him with even
greater fury and between them they
knocked him from his insecure posi-
ton to the ground He had just picked
up an egg when he was struck. This
was drol.,ed and broken. As soon as
they had put Striped Chipmunk to
flight the Red-eyes returned to their
nest. Perhaps you can guess with
what anxiety they peeped within.
At once they saw that one egg was
gone, but only one. Over and over Mrs.
Red-eye counted them. There were
three A great load of fear was rolled
away. In fact, she was happier than If
she had found four eggs there because
can you guess? Red-eye couldn't either.
MY dear" he protested, you seem
positively glad that that striped thief
has been to our nest"
I'm one way am" replied Mrs. Red
eye, happily.
But he got an egg," protested Red
eye, angrily. There are only three
there now and there were four"
"That Is what makes me so happy
that can almost forgive Striped Chip
munk for his attempt" retorted Mrs.
Red-eye.
well all can say Is that II being
robbed makes you happy you certainly
are the queerest person I ever heard
Of" replied Red-eye in tone of great
disgust.
'T am robbed; am relieved. He
didn't steal the egg from me-" said
Mrs. Red-eye. land you should feel
as I do seeing that these eggs belong
to both of us"
Red-eye stared at her as II he
thought she had suddenly gone crazy.
What do you mean by saying he
didn't steal that egg from us?" he de-
manded.
Don't get excited, my dearl Don't
get excited You have had excitement
enough for one day. I mean exactly
what said. He didn't steal that egg

stole it from some one else, If he stole
it from anybody" replied Mrs. Red-eye
"You see. that wasn't our egg at all,
and we didn't want it."
Red-eye suddenly bent forward and
looked into the nest The three eggs
there were alike. Then he understood.
ut was Sally Sly's egg!" he cried, joy
fully.
"Of course" replied Mrs. Red-eve
'He was greedy and chose the biggest
egg first, and so without knowing it
he did us great favor. Now we will
| not have to worry over bringing up
the child of some one else. Striped
Chipmunk did us a wholly unintended
kindness"
IT hope Sally Sly wasn't aroused; she
might lay another egg here" said Red
eye.
1--WE won't give her a chance" re-
sponded Mrs. Red-eye In most de-
cided tone. From now on this nest
isn't going to be left unguarded for a

tion was removed from the system, the
blood pressure came back to normal.
As matter Of fact. the elastic tissue
in the blood vessels was not really
damaged to such an extent that it
could not get back to normal These
vessels still remained soft and pliable.
In the other case, however, the
elastic tissue in the walls of the blood
vessels was so badly damaged that it
could not stretch properly when blood
was pumped into the blood vessels by
the heart. Nature in an effort to pre-
vent the vessels from bursting put q
lime-like deposit in place of the elastic
tissue. This, Of course, means that
the blood when it Is pumped would
have to increase its pressure against
this vessel, which instead of being soft
and elastic feels like "clay-pipe
STEM"
Now when the blood vessels get hard
in this manner the blood pressure will
be high and will stay high if the blood
Is to reach all parts of the body. This
explains then why one patient with
high blood pressure gets back to health
and strength again, and the other must
always live careful life If he is to
prevent a stroke or other serious all
ment.
As long as the heart can keep strong
everything is fairly SAFE If the patient
begins to get out of breath easily, the
heart becomes rapid. or he feels an
unusual 'tightness" in the chest from
slight exertion, complete rest is neces-
sary at once.

Fine Points of Sandwich-Making Are
Useful for Picnics
BY EDITH M. BARBER.

the butter over heat. While the crllsts
OF the bread are usually removed fol-
luncheon or tea sandwiches, for the
picnic varieties the crust is often left
on to retain that nutty flavor which
well-baked crust gives. The crusts
may be removed before slicing by
shaving the four sides of the loaf, OF
they may be removed after the sand
wiches have been put together.
Club or other sandwiches made with
toast, hot roast beef or chicken served
with gravy and combinations of cheese
are suitable for luncheon dishes. Sliced
meat, well seasoned, sliced cheese and
combinations Of cheese with lettuce and
other vegetables, between slices of bread
cut medium thick, made the best picnic
sandwiches.
Dainty mixtures Of nuts, cheese
fruits and fish paste seem to At with
afternoon tea, while highly seasoned
cheese, pastes, pickles and vegetables
serve best with salad and as appetizers
With the usual supplies of leftovers in
the icebox and Of supplementaries In
the pantry, sandwiches may be suited
to any occasion.
1t Is possible to vary these in In
Vulnerable ways by using deviled ham,
horseradish, ketchup, chutney, anchovy
or sardine paste to mix with the butter
before spreading the bread. Any other
Filings may then be spread between
these well seasoned foundations, which
are delicious in themselves.

the leaders of the Bianchi or whites. :"
A French prince brought soldiers to
Florence and helped the Blacks" to
defeat the party of Dante.
Dante was then exiled from his ma
tive city, and for years he wandered in
other parts. He spent time in Venice,
Pisa and Verona; and we have reports
that for little while he dwelt In Paris
and in oxford, England. He died In
exile, while at the home Of friend in
Ravenna, Italy.
1t was during his exile that he wrote
the poems which have lived through the
centuries and have brought him fame
Among these was a long story told IN
poetry which he called THE Comedy" 4"
In this poem he told of visiting Hell
and Purgatory, where he saw his
enemies suffering torments. A more
pleasant part of the poem describes his
fanciful visit to Paradise, with Beatrice
as his guide.
In later times. long after Dante's
death, people came to call this poem
1.-The Divine Comedy" 1t Is master
piece of poetic beauty.

Dear Mrs. Post: While shopping
about a month and a half ago very
close friend of mine borrowed five dol
lars, saying she would return 1t soon.
I know she had every intention of re-
turning it, but has forgotten all about
it. I see her often, but she has not
spoken of it. Would 1t be all right for
me to remind her of it, and how?"
Answer: This situation would be
awkward were the borrower merely an
acquaintance But since you say she
is very intimate friend, you should
be able to say frankly, by the way,
Mary, do you remember you borrowed
five dollars at such and such time?"
Dear Mrs. Post: Cd When potato
chips are served on the plate with meat
and vegetables, how are they eaten?

your plate, must you eat it? 90 How

Everyday Psychology
Imagination.
By DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

Imagination is the name Of mental
ability which all human beings are sup
posed to possess. At the same time it
seems to be the one mental ability in
which human beings differ most
widely. Try to imagine the following:
/. A piece of matter so small that
you can put more than ten billion such
pieces on the poil.s of a needle. These
are the so-called portions which the
physicists talk about as calmly as you
count the change in your pocket.
2. The fact that fifteen million bill
lion typhoid germs weigh one ounce.
3. The fact that our eyes respond to
ether waves which vibrate at the rate
of eight hundred thousand billion times
a second.
4. The fact that light travels at the
rate of one hundred and eighty-six
thousand miles second.
S. The fact that heat waves vibrate
four thousand billion times a second.
6. The fact that the earth itself Is
about seven billion years old.
These facts may not seem like realities
to you. but they are realities to the
men who have been working for years
to get picture of the universe in
which we live.

= poets Italy has produced.
Six hundred and sixty-seven
years have rolled by since Alighieri
Dante was born, in the city of Florence.
After the death of his parents he came
under the care and instruction of a
learned man.
OF other events in Dante's child
hood, we have little record; but we do
have the story of how, as a boy, he met
a girl named Beatrice. In poetry which
he wrote in later life, he spoke of
Beatrice and of the love which he found
for her.
1t appears that Dante first saw
Beatrice when he was years old and
when she was of about the same age
In later years their paths crossed sew

words with her; but In general his love
was silent and distant. His heart was
