Vol Clip Near Record

THE raw wool market was hit severely in
1881 by a record clip of 2,8o7, 600, 900
pounds and the price suffered as a conse-
quence. Last year, the United States and
New Zealand fell off considerably in production
and Argentina and the Union of South Africa
cut back some, which was tendency in the
right direction. However, the reduction in
these countries went for nothing as increased
production in the United Kingdom and
Australia brought about net reduction OF
only 100000 pounds last year from the peak
figures OF 1881.
The low price Of wool, however did prove
stimulating to the wooden industry and q

it was when she looked at his eyes that
she realized something serious had hap
pened to him. Those eyes, usually so
big and round, were kept closed now o.

What is the matter with your eyes!"
demanded Mrs. Hooty, not too pleas

They smart and burn and I can

What have YOU done to them?" de-
s~anded Mrs. Hooty.
Nothing. Jimmy skunk did it."
whimpered Hooty.
We'll replied Mrs Hooty. what did
! you do with him? Where is he? Didn't
you bring me share Of him?"
II didn't catch him." confessed
Hooty. He blinded me before I could
strike"
Mrs. Hooty got of the nest. Here"
said she. "let me see if ycu can take any
better care Of these eggs than you can
OF yourself. I thought you were old
enough to know better than to try to
| catch Jimmy Skunk unless you could
take him wholly by surprise"
Il thought that was just what was

see me Just before I could strike" ex-
planned Hooty "At that I would have
had him but that some of his scent got
IN my eyes and blinded me. At that I
guess I was lucky"
How SOP" demanded Mrs. Hooty. and
added: You don't look very lucky to
me-"
We'll, you see my dear, only a yery

had been just a little nearer to him I

thing happening" explained Hooty.
Mrs. Hooty shook out her feathers,
snapped her bill and silently, like a
drifting shadow, disappeared among the
trees. She was too hungry to waste
time listening to Hocty. It was too bad
he had gotten into such trouble, but
that was his hard luck. Meanwhile she
must eat
! 1t was just chance that led Mrs Hooty
! straight over to where Jimmy Skunk
was still hunting for beetles. Her great
eyes glowed fiercely. How big he was!
What good eating he would make. He
appeared to have forgotten all about
his recent encounter with Hooty She
knew just how to strike him to render
him helpless A swift, silent swoop and
she would have him! And then she

Home as Oasis of Good Cheer
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

in the psychological atmosphere, dis
turbing to peace and the cheer and
comfort attendant upon 1t.
With such an existing state Of affairs
in the outer world. there is needed
some oasis for each person In which
mentally and physically to recuperate.
For this there is no place like home,
a spot which should be sanctuary. 1t
fails in its province and its privilege
II it is less. Without cheer it loses
its high place. 1t must have certain
pleasant atmosphere to revive the
spirits, as a glowing hearth fire, by its
gay blaze, restores warmth to the body.
The term cheer leader, so well recog-
nized in the field of sports, may well
be applied to the person in a family
who is able to arouse good cheer in ito
members. This family cheer, while 1t
differs in its form of expression from
one of merely shouting to raise the
morale of players, is even more needed
in its smaller field Of the home. Its
quieter method is as successful IN ele-
waiting the family spirits as the vocifer-
GUS noise of many voices under the
direction of a good cheer leader Is effec-
tive over a sport group. 1t takes tact,
not tactics to imbue home with cheer.
The home cheer leader cannot relax
her own enthusiasm for happiness, but
it has to be tempered with sympa-
thetic appreciation OF outside contacts
with turmoil.
The one who is best fitted. usually,
in family to be the cheerful inSpira-
ton is the wife and mother. She may
be spared the actual touch with busi-
ness complexities, but enough Of the
tentacles of trouble reach out toward
the home for her to sense the disturbing
force and to realize the necessity of
counteracting its depressing influence
If improvement would be quickened.
Good cheer is inspiring, and home
where it is felt is worth working for

where few visitors were likely to come,
Mrs. Hooty sat on two eggs and waited

he had. Had he caught enough to
bring some for her? Why didn't he

When at length she saw him coming
she looked eagerly to see If he was
