THIS surname Is taken from the
- French word "fisc," meaning
revenue, or public funds. The name
can be traced in England as far back
as 1908, when Daniel Fisc of Laxfleld,
County Suffolk, received grants of
lands. Later we find that Lord
Symond 'Fiske" was Lord Of the
Manor Of Stanhough, in the parish
of Laxfeld. County Suffolk, from 1899
to 1922.
The Fiske family was first rep
resented In America by three brothers,
David, Nathan and the Rev. John,
sons Of Thomas Fiske, and eighth
generation in descent from Lord
symond Fiske. They settled in
Watertown, Mass, In 1887. David re-
moved to Salem, Mass, In l641, and
later settled in Haverhill. Nathan
was o freeman at Watertown, Mass,
In 1643, and later moved to Wren-
than, Mass. The Rev. John was q
proprietor in Dedham, Mass, for q
time, but returned to Watertown.
The coat Of arms here shown Is de-
scribed: "Chequy argent and gules,

Bridled Wallaby.

arms held so lackadaisically and ex-
preston so innocent. The slightest
indication of danger-reaching him by
animal wireless-will see him take OF
with a flash that Is startling.
When feasting on grass or small
shrubs he is on all fours-a strange
looking creature, indeed. His hind
feet have q long middle toe. well
armed with a sharp, curved claw.
With this knife-like instrument the
wallaby can make a quick, terrible,
tearing wound, the front feet or arms
holding the victim.
II he finds he is being hunted, he
makes for the water He Is a good
swimmer, and should his pursuer in
sist on following him the wallaby
catches him and holds him under
until he is drowned. If permitted to
follow his own plans, he is not aggres-
Sive or offensive in any way.
A baby wallaby at birth is not much
over an inch long, and helpless in
every way. The mother picks up the
tiny one gently in her mouth and
places 1t lovingly In her pouch. The
incubator baby finds its milk bottle
and here he remains, growing bigger
and fatter every day until large
enough to hop out Of his warm cradle
and see the big world.

Bedtime. Stories
Chatterer Was Right.

Jimmy was not at all disturbed.
He continued to move forward. Bus
ter was watching him closely. He
saw the tip of Jimmy's tail begin to
rise slowly. Jimmy saw that Buster
saw this, and Jimmy grinned. I'm
giving you fair warning" said Jimmy.
Buster Bear merely growled. He
that the tail of Jimmy's was a signal.
He knew that when the tip of that
tail began to fall over toward Jimmy's
back it would be the part Of wisdom
to move back, and to do it in a
hurry.
Buster held his ground just as long
as he dared to. Then as the tip OF
that tail began to move forward Bus
ter backed in a hurry. Yes, sir, he
backed in q hurry. Jimmy grinned
and kept right on. Again Buster had
to back up. Jimmy didn't hurry. He
Just ambled along toward Buster, and
every so often Buster had to move
on. So little by little Jimmy Skunk
drove big Buster Bear away from
Prickly Porky and out Of sight in the
Green Forest.
What did tell you?" cried Chat
terer the Red Squirrel to Peter Rab-
bit and Jumper the Hare. Didn't
I tell you that Jimmy Skunk was the
most independent fellow in all the
great world?"
''Prickly Porky made Buster Bear
back up," said Jumper. Il think
he's just as independent as Jimmy
Skunk"
"Prickly Porky was scared" de-
clared Chatterer. He was scared,
and Jimmy Skunk wasn't scared a
bit. Here comes Jimmy back now
and Prickly Porky has pulled his
head out of that hole. He has started
on again up the Crooked Little Path,
and Jimmy is coming down the
Crooked Little Path. One will have
to get out of the way of the other,
and that one won't be Jimmy Skunk"
Prickly Porky was whining and
grumbling, for he had been much
upset by his experience with Buster
Bear. He had partly lowered his
quilts. He did not seem to be aware
of the approach of Jimmy Skunk.
Presently Jimmy stopped and stamped.
Prickly Porky heard that, and he,
too, stopped. Then he started on
again. "Get out of my way" said he
querulously.
Again Jimmy Skunk stamped. Get
out Of the way yourself" said he
sharply, and once more that big tail
Of his began to rise. Grumbling to
himself, Prickly Porky turned off to
one side and began to climb q tree
Chatterer the Red Squirrel had been
right.
What did I tell you'll" he cried
triumphantly.

~ USTER BEAR was tormenting
* Prickly Porky the Porcupine.
He wasn't hurting him, but
- he was tormenting him. You
see, Prickly Porky had his head in a
small hole in the ground, so as to
protect it. This meant, Of course,
that he couldn't see. All his quills
were on end, and he was lashing
right and left with his quill-covered
tail in the hope that he might strike
one of Buster Bears big paws and
drive some of those quills into it.
Buster knew all about those quills
and he was too wise to get within
reach, but he liked to see Prickly
Porky lashing his tail that way. So
he tossed sticks and pieces Of bark
so that they fell close to Prickly
Porky, or sometimes hit him. Where
upon the latter would swing that tail
around.
Jimmy Skunk, who had come along
and saw what Buster was doing, had
him to leave Prickly Porky alone.
Who'll make me?" demanded Bus
ter.
"I will" retorted Jimmy.
You and who else?" growled Bus
ter.
II don't need any help, and well
you know it," replied Jimmy and
advanced a few steps.
Buster continued to tease Prickly,
but he kept watchful eye on Jimmy
and he took pains to keep Prickly
Porky between them. Jimmy's great
plume of a tail was standing straight
up, with the tip dropping backward.
Jimmy moved forward little. Buster
growled his deepest-sounding rumbly-
grumbly growl. 1t had an ugly sound.
Buster was feeling ugly. He didn't
like this interference on the part of
one so much smaller than himself.
No. sir, he didn't like it one bit.
"Come any nearer and I'll break
your back, Jimmy Skunk" he growled.

MAYORS NOT so STOUT-HEARTED

THE Mayors of hundred cities yesterday in
Washington elected New YorkS stout hearted
little La Guarda their chief and then passed
half-dozen resolutions that were not so stout
hearted
Instead of resolving to take over more of their
own burdens, they asked for more help from the
Federal government and the states. They asked for
amendments to the Social Security Act to pension
municipal employees, for revival of Federal transient
camps for congressional appropriations for re-
lief aid and proper steps" to insure adequate re-
lief contributions from their states.
The cities doubtless will need such help for some
time President Roosevelt has assured them that
the government docs not propose to let people
starve after the first of July any than during
the past years But eventually the local govern
ments must their normal functions of provid
ing for their parks and streets, caring for their
own needy, and budgeting adequately for health
recreation and other social services.
If the Federal government is to solve its
own budget problem, cities and other local units of
government will have to get off the Federal dole.
