grass and hair. There are from
four to six babies in each group.
They have for their first coat a
slate-colored one of very velvety fur.
AS soon as they are old enough
to fend for themselves they have their
own tunnel. This is the stage to
adopt them. They soon love the
bread crumbs and grain seeds W
offer.
They are expert swimmers, and once
out of the water give their coats a
vigorous shake, just as Fido would
do, and then go on along their way.
They do not hesitate to ride on a
chunk of ice, though they do not
care to have a swift journey. Any
way this is a mode Of transportation
and easier by far than swimming.

A S YOU know, Mrs. Timmy the
~ Flying Squirrel is one Of the
~ most timid of all the little
4 a people who live in the Green
Forest Wonderfully gentle little peo-
pie are Timmy and Mrs. Timmy, but
timid and gentle as they are, they
also are brave little folk. Like other
small people they have many hungry
enemies and at all times when they
are abroad they must be on the watch
for hungry hunters.
When Mrs. Timmy built her nest
in the bird house on tree on the
edge of the Green Forest she had
thought 1t the most wonderful house
she had ever had. She had but one
fault to find with 1t and this was that
it was not so high above the ground
as she would have liked. However,
she had built her snug, soft nest in
there without once being bothered by
any one, and by the time the three
precious babies arrived she had
ceased even to think that anything
might happen to frighten her or to
harm the babies, SO long as they were
in that house.
Then came Farmer Browns Boy,
with the best intentions in the world.
Usually he cleans out all his bird
houses in the Fall, but last Fall he
had failed to get around to the two
or three houses that he had placed
along the edge of the Green Forest.
Now he had come to get this done
before the arrival of the feathered
folk from the Sunny South. Mrs
Timmy had heard him approaching
and had slipped out Of the house

always kept on his desk, just in case.

He watched the other mans face,
but it gave no indications of the

tension built up in the dead silence.

louder as he waited for Drag to quit
twirling the rod on his finger and say
something.

Rotten in Denmark"

INDICATING suspicious goings on,
things amiss and warranting in
vestigation, the expression something
is rotten in the state of Denmark" is
at least three and a half centuries
old.
About as strange an anomoly as
one Is apt to encounter is this meta
phor, for it has been used to charac-
terize conditions in almost every
country but the one it points!
So. in recent years particularly, the
phrase has been used In connection
with Germany, Russia, Japan, India
even Sweden, which is getting close
but not Denmark
The reference originally appeared
in Shakespeares Hamlet" I, 4, in the
line by Marcellus: Something is rot

without being seen by him. She was
little anxious, but not too fright
ened, for since she had lived there
Farmer Browns Boy had passed more
than once and never had paid any
attention to that little house. She
thought that probably he would pass
again.
Then her heart gave a great leap of
sheer fright. Farmer Browns Boy had
stopped at the foot of that tree. What
was he going to do? He was looking
up at that little house. Oh, Mrs.
Timmy did hope that he would do no
more than look up. How she did
hope that he would go on about his
business elsewhere. But he didn't

he want of those babies? What would
he do with them? Some of the nest
he had thrown on the ground. Mrs.
Timmy thought fast Supposing he
should drop the babies on the ground;
what should she do then? Should
she take them back into that little
house? No, she couldn't do that.
That wouldn't do at all.

Almost without realizing what she
was doing she leaped. She sailed down
and landed with gentle thump on
the trunk of the tree close to Farmer
Browns Boy She looked up into his
eyes pleadingly. Then she leaped to
the ground, gathered a mouthful Of
the nesting material and away she
went, to climb to that Woodpecker
hole. A wonderful mother was Mrs.
Timmy. Not only was she a brave
little mother, but she was a thought

T@HOUGH few of us will see this
little fellow whose home is in
Arctic Alaska from Point Bar

as those of his cousins you may see.
He is rather small. with a chestnut
brown coat and white feet. In the
Winter he wears snow white Even
the black stripe down the back, so
very evident in Summer, disappears.
The false Jennings, to which this
member belongs, make a group that
resembles the true Jennings very
much, and they are not so easily
identified, unless you know the two
outstanding characteristics. All men,
bers of this family have the enlarged
claw on the front foot, and in Winter
the coat is pure white.
True Jennings never change their
coat color. There are six species
found in some parts of Arctic Amer

would have gladly died rather than
welch upon a promise once it was
made. Perhaps that accounted in
part for his position at the head of
one Of the most vicious and success
full gangs in the city. likewise for the
cognomen. Politicians trusted him
and accorded him commensurate
| favors.
Mangan himself would have ad-
mitted his shortcomings evaluated in
the light of conventional morality.
He was what the public delights to
call a rat, slugger, a mobster and
various other and darker things.
There was little he would balk at
doing, provided he hal ample reason
to do it. But in back of all this there
rose, shining like silver against black
velvet, the one reputable thing about
him. Mangan was as good as his
word, and with him it was a fetish.

N THE beginning he had vowed to
run away from the reform school
and never return to his family. He
did and he hadn't. Subsequent VOWS

underworld, running advantages to

badger. At somewhat less than 80 he
was undisputed king of his own mob
Mangan was good leader, accord
ing to gangland lights. Once a plan
was made, the boys were allowed to
carry it out in their own way.
He merely reserved the right of final
tribunal and mob arbiter. The only
thing he insisted upon was integrity.
Any one of the boys who attempted
double-dealing knew in advance the
penalty-unpleasant things would hap
pen.
| Things ran along smoothly until
one day Drag's peace of mind was
broken by a visit from his younger
brother, whom he hadn't seen for sew

Charlie told him. "I got fired from
my job and can't find another. So

The commission made public Pc
tition to this effect by all major

nointed out that the roads had suf-
fered vast physical damage" IN the

said with property destruction placed
at ss.5O0.0O0 and loss of business at
almost half that.

In New England, it was said, total
damage will amount many millions. :,
The railroads argued that new low
rates should not be put in effect dur

In its ruling, the commission desig-
mated a basic rate Of cents q mile
