Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Mother Brown didn't like his looks
There had been several robberies in
that section and warning to watch
for suspicious characters had been
issued. She was not naturally timid,
but as she realized that neither Bowser
nor Flip were there to defend her she
felt something very like fear. Perhaps
that tramp saw it in her eyes, for
when she told him to go sit under a
tree while she got him something to
eat he came toward the steps instead
He leered at her. "Al alone you
are, lady; that's too bad. I'll come
in and keep you company" said he.
He advanced another step.
"You stay where you are!" COM
manded Mother Brown. Don't you
come another step rlearer"
An ugly scowl made still more evil
that evil face. Get busy and get
that food, and plenty of it," he
growled., You're alone and I know
it. I'm in a hurry. SO don't waste any
time. And don't try any tricks on
me, because you'll be sorry if you do"
He put one foot on the lower step
and as he did so Little Jimmy poked
his head out from underneath. He
didn't like the looks of this stranger
and he liked the smell of him still less.
In a jiffy he was wholly out and
stamping his feet in his most threat
ening manner. The man heard the
sound and looked down. Then he
withdrew his foot from that step and
backed away hastily. Little Jimmy
took a few steps toward him and
stamped again, and his tail was lifted
high in his danger signal. 1t was
clear that the man understood that
signal, for he retreated few more
steps and did it in a hurry. He
looked around for a stick or stone,
but none was handy.
Mother Brown came out and stood
on the step just above Little Jimmy.
All her fear was gone now. $50 you
thought I was alone!" she snapped.
We'll, that was your mistake. If you
know what is good for you" you will
start on your way now and be quick
about it."
She took a few steps toward him
and Little Jimmy promptly followed
at her heels and then made funny
little rush in front of her, stamping
and throwing up his danger signal
That was enough. The man turned
and hastily shuf1ed out of the yard
and up the road. Mother Brown
watched him out of sight. Then she
stopped and picked up Little Jimmy
and Rugged him.
If it hadn't been for you I don't
know what might have happened"
said she. half laughing and half cry
ing. We'll go in now and I'll get you
the best supper you ever have eaten"
And when Farmer Browns Boy re-
turned little later with his father
and they heard the story they agreed
with Mother Brown that Little Jimmy
was little hero. And guess that
you will agree to that, too.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Those Who Travel.

THOSE who travel constantly are
= known as dromomaniacs. In fact
they can't keep from wandering
around. While the term dromo-
maniac is usually applied to abnormal
cases of wanderlust, it might just as
often as not be thought Of as normal
impulse. The globe-trotter and the
tramp are made of the same stuff, but
we usually have admiration for the
first and unexplainable pity for the
second.
Perhaps you know some one who is
forever going from store to store seek
ing the latest bargains. I know man
who boasts that he has explored all
the inlets of the Chesapeake Bay in
his canoe Librarians tell us that
members of Congress and other dig
nitaries Of state are great readers of
stories Of the gold field type. School
boys really don't care if the school
building burns down. Deserters from
the army usually say after they are
caught that they did not know they
had deserted. One was found some
time ago who had enlisted and de-
serted, re-enlisted and deserted and
was re-enlisting for the third time
when he was caught. He was really
looking for Army life to live up to the
advertisements-travel.
There are all sorts and degrees Of
wanderlust. Some people 60 away
from home. Some always want to 60
back home-then it is called home
sickness. A third kind Of wanderer
wants always to go to new places. AS
one tramp puts it, Paradise lies in
the East. Eastward I always travel.
One must always go forward, never
backward. Forward is always more
satisfying"

Blue Goose.
THIS Winter you may have the
pleasure of seeing thousands
of these very beautiful birds as
they gather along the Gulf
Coast marshes, and it has been esti-
mated that hundreds of thousands re-
turn from the North to spend the
Winter here among their dear friends
and cousins the white geese.
1t was until 1910 that the Winter
home was found to be in this location.
Its Summer home was finally discov-
cred in 1929. So you can see that
this bird must have been pretty clever
to have kept its secret so long.
For some time bird lovers decided
that this goose must be one of our
rare birds. 1t just goes to show how
little we really know of the goings and
comings of famous travellers. Here
was one of our neighbors making an
annual trip of 1850 miles between
Baffin Land and Louisiana twice a
year and we did not know that her
Winters were spent among us. Not
few hundred Of her sisters. auntS and
daughters, but hundreds Of thousands
of them.
Are they so quiet? Not at ALI We
called them by another name, took no
interest in their family affairs and let
it go at that. Then some one dis
covers them. They also found that
they never associated with the Canada
geese. only the white-fronted and snow
geese.
They are vegetarians and 1t is said
they "clean up as they CO." Farmers
have said that they have risen early
and even pulled up every sprig of
grass by the roots. BY daylight they
had gone into the deeper marshes. It
would be reasonable to expect vast
number of birds to consume the vege-
tation all about their Winter home.
Fortunately they migrate from place
to place along the marshes and seeds
and roots of some of the plants
escape them.
At daybreak as a rule they are to be
found on the fats near the Gulf.
Here they make q terrible noise. All
of them determined to talk at the
same time. So great is the volume
of noise you can hear it for almost
2 miles.
If any one approaches them. one
or more give the signal and silence
reigns supreme. They are shy birds
among strangers and wish above all
else to neither be seen nor heard.
The adults have heads and throats
of white and their faces stained or
rouged with rusty. Below the neck,

Who Are You?
The Romance of Your Name
By RUBY HASKINs ELLIS.

New Castle County. Del, about i726,
At that time this was one of the
lower counties of Pennsylvania.
Thomas Howell became an influen-
tisl man in his community and was
planter of broad acres. Descendants
of this ancestor are living today in
various sections of the United States.
and many of them have achieved
marked success in many fields Of en-
deavor. In New Jersey, where most
Of the Howells of this line lived in the
early days, they have been particularly
outstanding. Ebenezer Howell, the
son of Thomas, became judge Of Cum
berland County. Lewis Howell. great
grandson of Thomas. was Speaker Of
the House of Representatives of New
Jersey, and represented Cumberland
County in the State Senate. Other
members of the family have become
equally prominent.
The name of Howell Is derived from
the Cornish British word "houl," sig
nifying "the SUM-"
In the New England States this
name was early represented by Edward
Howell of Lyme. Conn, an immigrant
Of 1889, He was one of the grantees
of Southampton, Long Island, in 1910.

light color found on the plants in
that location.
There are from one to four white
eggs laid by the latter part of June.
The downy babies have flesh-colored
bills and feet and brown eyes. They
gradually shed their swaddling clothes
for those that resemble those worn by
their parents. Not until they don
their wedding garments before they
start North do they have the COM
plete ensemble, and cannot be told
from the adult members Of the family.
The blue goose has also been called
the blue-snow goose, blue winged
goose, white headed blue brant and
other names which would indicate
that at one time the blue goose had
a wider distribution than he now feels
safe in.
So you may have the pleasure Of
hearing them or seeing the vast con-
cord as they gather for gravel, nap,
bath or food. Take along your
camera, they talk so loud they will
not notice the noise and, of course.
you will keep out of their sight.

My Neighbor Says:

Leftover vegetables can be
combined and served as an escal-
loped food or they can be used
in soups.
If a pinch of powdered sugar
and a pinch of cornstarch are
added to egg yolks when making
an omelet, it will not fall.
When washing dishes which
have been used for either raw
or cooked fish, add about two
heaping tablespoons of baking
soda to the dishwater. This de-
odorizes the dishes, dishwater and
dishcloth.
If you wish to sharpen a dull
scissors, use them to cut sandpa-
per in strips.

Conquering Contract
BY p. HAL SIMS.

8. Since South has no hearts, East
can make three no trumps. Natu-
rally North cannot afford to let him
play it.
And, 10! North made four hearts.
East opened the king and ace of
clubs, and then shifted to the king
Of diamonds. North ruffed and i'm
mediately took the spade finesse,
which held. He returned to his hand
by rufing a diamond and played an
other spade. East's king was covered
by the ace in dummy, and dummy's
last club was trumped.
North now led the king of hearts.
East won with the ace and returned
club-West refusing to trump.
North trumped and played the queen
of hearts. How unfortunate. All the
trumps we're in the West hand. North
simply entered dummy with the last
spade, played a diamond back, and
West, holding nothing but trumps,
was couped. He was forced to trump
the trick and North overtrumped,
making his contract.
II never would have believed it."
said North afterward, when speaking
of his victory.
