THE FOOLISH QUARREL

TREED doesnt pay. II never does.
~ And yet some people never seem
co learn this. Just take the case of
Happy Jack Squirrel and his cousin,
Chatterer the Red Squirrel In the
Green Forest were ever so many hick-
DRY trees. and there were more nuts
than Happy Jack and Chatterer could
eat in a lifetime. But both were so
greedy that here they were quarrel
ing over the nuts which the Merry
Little Breezes had shaken down from
the top of a tall chestnut tree.
Happy Jack claimed all those
brown nuts were his because he had
happened to be right under that par
ticular tree when the Merry Little
Breezes shook them down. Chatterer
had been near enough TO hear them
as they ratified down and had come
running over to get share. AT once
Happy Jack had tried to drive him
away. Chatterer had refused to go.
In fact, at the sight of all those nuts
on the ground Chatterer had at once
decided that he would have all Of
them. You see he was quite as greedy
as Happy Jack. Those brown nuts
didn't really belong TO either of them,
and wouldn't until they had been
picked up and hidden away. But Hap
by Jack and Chatterer didn't stop to
think of this Each was so greedy
that be wasn't willing to let the other
have a single one.
"Thiefp' shouted Happy Jack.
"Robber! !" cried Chatterer.

thrusting out his tongue at Happy
Jack.
Do you wonder that the Merry Lit
tie BreeZes, who had thought to help
Happy Jack and Chatterer, looked
down in dismay and stopped shaking
down the brown nuts? Do you won
der that Sammy Jay, hearing those
sharp angry voices, came stealing ST.
Iently up to see what such a dreadful
quarrel was about? You can depend
on il that Sammy will be somewhere
about when anything like that is go
iIg on.

They forgot everything but their an
ger. They chased each other around
the trees and up in the trees. all the
time losing their tempers more and
more.
Now their little cousin, Striped
Chipmunk, wasn't far away, and of
course he heard that dreadful quar-
rel. he pricked up his ears. Then he
stole softly over to see what it was
all about. Happy Jack and Chatterer
didn't see him. They didn't see any
thing or anybody but each other.
Striped Chipmunk watched them for
a few minutes. Then he spied the
Breezes had shaken down. His bright
eyes sparkled. He chuckled.
81 suspect" said he, that these are
what they are quarreling about. How
silly. How very foolish. These nuts
belong TO anyone who can get them.
They are as much mine as theirs"
Without wasting another minute
Striped Chipmunk stuffed the pockets
in his cheeks with those brown nuts
until he couldn't get another one in.
Then away he scurried. Pretty soon
he was back again. He paid no at
tentfon TO his quarreling cousins, but
stuffed his pockets again and was off
to his secret stOrehouse.
Back and forth be scurried, work
ing with might and main. He knew
that once Happy Jack and Chatterer
stopped quarreling and discovered
him they would drive him away, and
he would have to go because he was
too little to fight.
Sammy Jay watched him and
chuckled. The. Merry Little Breezes
saw him and they chuckled. But his
two big cousins were still fighting and
saw only each other AT last Happy
Jack and Chatterer had TO stop for
breath. They were too tired TO run
and fight any longer. But still each
was determined that the other
shouldn't have those brown nuts.
Happy Jack looked down to gIoat over
the treasure he had been fighting for.
Then be gave a little gasp. Not a
single brown nut was TO be seen
Ghatterer did the same thing. For
few minutes both forgot their quarrel
and raced down to pull over the
leaves in search of those nuts. Not
one was to be found. Their foolish
quarrel had been for nothing, just
nothing at all

THE GREATEST
THING
BY DOUGLAS mALLocH

NTHAT is the greatest thing in life?
w The man of arms may say the
strife,
The man Of trade may say the mart
Yet who takes money to his heart
VIII find her faithless, and the cheers
OF victory mean some ones tears.
What is the greatest thing of all?
The rich may say the castle hall,
The proud may say the wreath of
fame
Yet earthly glory fades the same
As earthly wealth. There must be
more.
Than these In life to hunger for.
What Is the greatest thing we find?
The wise may say the learned mind.
The fool his passions and delights
Yet life some sudden question writes
Fools cannot answer, nor wise
Do more than wonder and surmise.
What Is the greatest thing? Not these
Poor things that either pain or please.
To love, to feel, TO smile. to grieve,
Not much TO know but much believe
For, books or pleasure, wealth or
strife.
The greatest thing in life is life.

catastrophe is of minor proportions, in

Kansu, the scene of these disasters,
lies about 1000 miles from Peiping, and
is reached only by camel caravan,
Lanchow-fu the capital of the province,
being twenty-five days journey from

tire area consists chiefly of light,
loose wind-blown soil. The inhabitants
live in frail adobe huts and even in
chambers dug out of the walls of cliffs.
When the earth moves, as in these dis
asters, they are overwhelmed without
warning and without a chance to
escape.

Of the earlier disasters Of this immediate
seriez-doubtless merely the latest of
long range Of horrors during many CEN
turieS-but they were so belated that
little could be done to succor the sur
yivors, who died in numbers from priva-
ton and disease incident to the nece5-
sity of eating anything that could be
found. Perhaps in this present case an
effort will be made to reach the people
of Kansu with supplies, though the task
of transportation across the great space
that mtervenes will be of appalling diff
ficulty. The disturbed political condi-
tions interpose further obstacles.
China has a population that is vari-
ously estimated, within the great range
Of from 400,ooo,oo0 to 6oo, 1000, 900.
Every year some form of disaster over
takes them, now an earthquake, again
an tnundation, with famine and pesti-
lence always threatening. The toll in
all these cases is frightfully large. The
Chinese government itself is able to do
but little for the sufferers, becaue of
lack Of means and of effective organi-
cation. In all of these Affections reli-
ance rests upon foreign sources of succor.
These disasters in Kansu bring
sharply to mind the fact that despite
all the exploration and travel through
China during countless centuries, that.
unhappy land lies far remote from
civilization as 1t is manifest in this and
more fortunate lands. Especially In
these days Of railroads, of motor cars
and OF airplanes is the isolation of the
central and western sections of the
great land known in earlier times as

The Tragedy in Kansu.

A news dispatch recently from
Peiping stated that more than 10000
persons had been killed by an earth
quake in the province of Kansu, which
occurred December 26, the news Just
reaching the eastern coast of China.
Later came statement from the same
source that the number killed was only
$50, with some 300 injured. The wide
spread between the figure first given
and that which followed raises an in
teresting question. Was the first ac-
count correct, to be later verified, or was
it an exaggeration due to the fact that
in quite recent years similar disasters
have occurred in Kansu, causing tre-
mendous losses of life?
In 1920 quake in Kansu cost loo, 900
lives, the news requiring many weeks to
reach this part OF the world. There was
no exaggeration then. Again seven years
later came similar slip of the earth,
taking about the same toll, and again a
long time was needed to bring the It'd
ings. 1t is to be hoped that this latest
