Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS.

You see, Gray Fox still didn't con-
meet his present trouble with the
killing Of those hens. He didn't think
back that way. His cousin, Reddy Fox,
would have He would have guessed
at once Just who 1t was that set that
trap and why. But Reddy never would
have made the mistake in the first
place Of killing all those hens. He
might have killed two, or perhaps
three, II he saw a chance to get them
away where he could hide for future
use those he couldn't eat at the time.
He quite likely would have done this
If he had thought that he was not
likely to visit that henyard again.
But If he had planned on future visits,
he quite likely would have been satis-
fed with just one. hoping that it
would not be missed He would have
known that the killing Of so many
would bring the hunters and dogs
after him at once. No Reddy Fox
never would have made such a mis-
take as that.
So all the long night, with badly
swollen, but fortunately numb paw,
shivering with cold and faint with
hunger, Gray Fox lay there, held fast
by that cruel steel trap. All the long
hours of the night he lay there suf-
fering and filled with despair. And
at home, warm and comfortable, the
trapper gave no thought to what might
be in those traps Of his.

keeps you busy batting the hooks or
taking of fish.
The fishes get very excited over the

schools of them follow it to the sur
face to see what it is. You can then
see. through the cellar water, the vast
numbers churning the water furiously.
The average weight Of this fish is

inches. The best fishing is to be had
in the early Spring and Summer, in
kelp that is from to 40 fathoms
deep, and later you can get large hauls
from water that is even deeper.
To many this fish is known as bore
gat or bodeiron. The anglers seem
to have preference for Kadiak Island

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPRoWLS.
Fault Finders.

FAULT finders are not always dan
gerous persons. You may well
afford to associate with them and
listen to their fault finding, at least,
for a while. Much of the ordinary
fault finding that goes on in this
world should be regarded as indica-
tions that the fault finder is still alive.
He Is, as often as not merely ex-
pressing few ideals which he has not
attained. Most fault finding should
be regarded as theorieS-unconscio
mental movements toward perfection.
OF course, there is something to be
said on the other side Of the ques-
ton. Chronic fault finders are really
sick persons. They have fallen i'll
with their own sense of incompetence,
their own morbid fears.
After while, chronic fault finders
begin to deteriorate mentally. They
invite criticisms. They try to keep
them in mind. They even go so far as
to take notes on them.
The next step in the deteriorating
process might be called philosophical
pessimism. The now very sick idealist
turns from men and things to condi-
tons in general. In unguarded mo-
ments, he expresses delusions of per-
secution. He hears voices" His
mental controls have snapped.

"THEY have in Turkey a drink
called coffee This drink
comforteth the brain and heart and
helpeth digestion.
So wrote Bacon about three CEN
turies ago, about the beverage that
nobody in the English-sneaking world
had yet tasted, but whose growth in
popularity was to become as wide
spread as that Of tobacco.
The origin Of coffee" will, at first
blush, surprise perhaps even the hard
boiled readers Of this column. For we
have 1t from the Turkifh gahveh
ARABIC gahuah), meaningwine, a de-
coction Of berries.
There is no foundation for the
vouchsafed tale of the discovery Of
coffee, that it was introduced to the
world by the discovery of an observ-
ing goatherd who was intrigued by the
antics Of his charges while browsing
upon the drupes of the coffee tree in
Arabia.

THIS ancient surname was derived
from presser of cloth, called a
calenderer. We find an old verse
written by John Gilpin:
II am linen draper bold,
AS all the world doth know,
And my good friend, the calenderer
Will lend his horse to CO."
The name, Calender is also a local
place-name in many shires of Scot

Among the first representatives of
the name in America was Col. Robert
Calender, who was born in Scotland
and came to Philadelphia. In 1757,
he was commissioned captain in the
1st Battalion of the Pennsylvania Line.

After two passes North bid one
heart. East passed and South bid
two no trumps, which North carried
to three. Despite his three -and-a-half
honor tricks, North was not completely
happy: and neither, for that matter,
was South, although he was a passed

West attacked with the queen Of

South, "one Of the opponents holds

When East's jack dropped South

Unfortunately, it was impossible to
tell whether East held king, jack, or
jack, ten. Therefore South went over
