Utility Dividends.

NEW YORK, May 81 (SpeciaD A
new feature of the dividend situation is
the increasing number of suspended
payments on the preferred stocks of the
public utility holding companies that
were created in the years Just prior to
1929. These companies were quickly
thrown together. They brought large
underwriting profits to bond and stock
distributors. Their ultimate status is
likely to be similar to that Of real estate
bonds that were sold on extravagant
appraisals and estimates of income from
rentals.

when it is easy to get good dinner by
just looking around where the hunters
have been. Almost always I can find
one or two wounded birds. If they are
hurt SO that they cannot fly at all 7
usually get them sooner or later. I'll
get this one. I can't get him now, but
from the fact that he has crept into
this log I an sure he cannot fly. He
will have to eat and the time will come
when I will surprise him away from
this log. Then he will be my dinner,
I'll keep an eye on this place"
Presently Reddy went away, but, Of
course, the young Grouse couldn't be
sure of it. Ee couldn't be sure that
Reddy was no: hiding close by Just
waiting for him to cone out So he
didn't go out. He crept as near the
opening as he dared to and there he
crouched. locking out and feeling as
miserable and unhappy as he could. He
listened to the various sounds that
came to him. Most of them he recog-
niZed, but few were strange. BY and
by he dczed
he awoke with a start. What had
awakened him? Had there been some
sound? He listened Ha! What was
that? He turned his head to one side
to listen better. There it was, a soft
"crut -crut," followed by an anxious
cluck Never was there more welcome
sound. The young Grouse forgot his
stiff leg He forgot his troubles, his
loneliness and fright. Before you could
winl, he was out of that hollow log and
there was his mother, Mrs. Grouse! 1t
is a question which was most glad to
see the other.

There's naught that's quite so much your
As misery that's borne alone.

deed, 1t Is blessed thing. The
wounded young Grouse, hiding in
~ a hollow log deep in the Green
Forest, had been sure he couldn't
go to sleep.
Il am too miserable and frightened
to sleep" thought he. Il won't be able
to close my eyes this night. No, sir,
there will be no sleep for me this
night"
He shivered as in the distance he
heard the fierce hunting call of Hooty
the Horned Owl. How thankful he was
that he was in that hollow log where
Hooty's keen eyes couldn't see him. He
heard that call again. And then, well,
then he was fast asleep and didn't
know, when Peter Rabbit poked his
head in at the opening and then with
drew.
When he awoke just before daylight
he couldn't at first think where he was.
1t was the first time he ever had awak-
ened with walls around him. 1t fright
ened him for the moment. Then men,
ory brought back to him all that he
had been through. Yes, sir, he remem-
bered how some of his brothers and
sisters had been shot by hunter With
a terrible gun, and how he himself had
been hurt so that he couldn't fly. One
leg was sore ond somewhat stiff, and he
wondered If he would be able to use it.
The Black Shadows stole away and
the Jolly Little Sunbeams took their
place. At last the young Grouse ven-
tured out, for despite his fear and mis-
cry he was hungry. I've got to eat"
said he to himself. Last night felt
as If never would want to eat again,
but that was last night. Ouch! That
leg hurts and I guess I won't be able to
travel far. Anyway, don't want to get
far from this hollow log. I cannot fly
and 1 cannot run, so I must have
place to hide"
Without going far he managed to
find enough to eat and then squatted
in the sun close by the old log. The
rustic of a leaf drew his attention.
Silently he stole into the log and crept
as far back in it as he could and there,
with his heart going pit-a-pat. pit-a-
pat, he waited. Presently there was
faint sniff at the open end and the
sharp nose of Reddy Fox was thrust in
side. But that was all of Reddy Fox
that could get In save black jaw, and
this didn't reach the young Grouse.

kind when I heard the bang. bang Of

Is he born that way or does he hah to
start just like other people? said.
There is no royal road to any human
endeavor, and the higher the goal the
harder the climb, pop said. Artists haff
to start at the bottom just the same as
brtcklayerS and bank presidents. It Is
said of Leanardo da Vintchy, one of
the greatest artists that ever lived. that
he spent months lerning to draw a
perfect cercle in order to obtain COM
plete mastery of his hand and rist. At
the same time everybody cannot be a
Leanardo da Vintchy. Crate artists are
born but they must make themselves,
he said.
Well how about the people that draw
mustashes on poster ladies with pen
Gil? I said, and pop said, I have aften
heard them condemned hut sometimes
feel that their critics are too harsh,
because their efforts may be ony the
misdirected strivings of noble impulse.
In their zeal to express themselves they
fail to realize that completed picture
Is marred rather than improved by ad-
ditional lines, and that ladies look more
esthetic without mustashes, he said.
Well G, pop, there's ladies on the
posters outside the Little Grand, and
this afternoon me and Puds Simkins
was putting mustashes on them and the
man ran out and grabbed Us and made
us tell him our name and address end
he said he was coming around and tell
our father tonite, said, and pop said,
Well why in the confounded blazes
didn't you spring that part Of 1t In the
ferst place? Aren't you big enough
and old enough to know that other
peoples property IS not sippose to be
tampered with? he said.
And he said q lot more mad things
and the man from the Little Grand
didn't come around anyways, making

UNCLE RAYS
CORNER
Columbus Crosses Sea.
ON THE ATLANTIC,

n ! across the Atlantic Ocean
wv his thoughts must have been
many. There was hope and
belief in him that the jour-
ney would be success! But there must
have been doubts as well.
Almost five centuries before. Morse
men had crossed waters of the North
Atlantic, had settled in Iceland and
Greenland and had found a Western
land which they called Vineland. 1t Is
possible that Columbus had heard OF the
voyages of the Norsemen, but more
likely he had not.
On board the three small ships in
the feet of Columbus were 100 men.
Most were Spaniards or Portuguese, but
one was an Englishman and another an
Irishman. Some Of the sailors had been
freed from prison when they agreed to
make the dangerous trip.
Day after day, week after week, the
little ships sailed on. At one point In
the journey they saw large mast
floating in the water, and the sailors
shuddered when they thought of the
fate of great ship which had dared
to sail the dark sea.
On a dark night a flame OF fire
streaked the sky and this made the
poor sailors more fearful than ever. 1t
was no doubt nothing more than large
meteor, but to the sailors it seemed to
be a warning from heaven that they
must not go farther.
Onward, onward sailed the ships.
August turned to September and Sep
tember into October. Now and then
sea weed was observed floating on the
water. 1t was taken as a sign of land,
but land itself did not appear.
A prize had been offered to the first
man who should see land, and there
we're several cries of Land! Land!"

That Lucky Draw

Interesting are the stories
which drift in following the
runnings of the Grand Ma
tional and English Derby
stories of unexpected riches COM
ing to people of humble rank.
It may be that some time
wealthy persons who really have
no use for additional money
win these big lotteries. but their
stories don't bring the head
lines that come to paupers who
awake to find themselves inde-
pendent over night as the re-
suit of a lucky draw in either
\ of these two major English
races.
Even the most callouS reader
can't help thrilling to the story
of a rural school teacher who
has worked for years to support
herself and mother, falling heir
to undreamed of wealth through
having purchased a So ticket
on the Grand National or Derby.
Only last week an obscure
American couple, the husband
being the superintendent of a
dairy, won 10000 pounds or
about 100000 in American
money. When the wife heard
their names read over the radio
as having won such an amount,
she tainted.
