The Two Sisters.

/ must do Is to find place where there
will be good hunting and we won't
have to share 1t with others"
I'VE may have to 60 long distance,
and we don't know much about the
dangers there may be along the way"
said the Timid One.
And If we stay here we may always
go hungry" retorted the practical
Weakling.
So the two sisters started of. They
didn't know where they were going,
bu. they intended to keep going until
they found a place that looked as If
the hunting would be good. AS they
travelled they hunted. OF course they
had to hunt, for now there was no one
to bring food to them. Having to
hunt, they could go only short dis
tance each day or night, as it hap
pened to be. You see, they hunted
and travelled by daylight part of the
time, and at night, some Of the
time. It was just according to the
way they felt. When they were tired
they curled up and went to sleep. The
Timid One was a very light sleeper,
as timid person is very likely to be,
especially in a strange place. Now
and then she needlessly wakened her
sister when some sound frightened her.
Once they found place where the
hunting seemed to be good and they
made up their minds they would stay
there. Late that afternoon, just before
they were getting ready to 60 out to
hunt for their supper. they had visi-
tor. 1t was a strange Fox. What are
you two doing here?" he demanded.
The Timid One trembled, for his
voice was not a pleasant one, but the
Weakling replied promptly. I'VE are
thinking of making our home here.
We are just starting out in the Great
World, and this looks like good place
to live"
'It is,'' replied the stranger dryly. "I
live here, so you two better trot right
along. There is no place for you
here"

Now the two sisters were inseparable.
They played together. They hunted
together down on the Great Meadows.
Where one was you were sure to find
the other. So perhaps it is not to be
wondered at that they heard the call of
the Great World at the same time and
started out together. Now the Weak
ling was small, but she was very quick.
She was quick in her movements and
she was quick-witted. The Timid One,
as you would guess from her name,
was easily frightened. She was not
in the least bit daring. She was cas-
lily startled. but there was nothing
stupid about the Timid One. So the
two young sisters together were quite
equal to taking care of themselves.
What one didn't think of the other
did.
The first thing to do" said the
Weakling, lis to get long distance
from the Old Pasture. We must go
way off somewhere"
"Why?" asked the Timid One
because there are too many Foxes
around here" replied the Weakling.
It don't see that it matters how
many Foxes there are around here, so
long as we have q home Of our own"
replied the Timid One.
Food" replied the Weakling
What do you mean by food?" asked
her sister.
The more Foxes the less food, and
the less food the harder it will be to
get it, explained the Weakling. We've
had six brothers and sisters leave
home already, and then there are

Small Things

Small things are what my heart recalls
OF that sad day: leaf
That fluttered down from overhead,
And phrases sharp and brief.
Small things indelibly come back;
How your hand trembled when
You spoke Of many things gone by,
And Of what might have been.
Small things are what my heart recalls
In its remembering:
How your eyes glowed with angry light
When you flung down my ring.
I will 60 through the years, and still
Small incidents will come
OF great catastrophes, and these
Will leave me cold and numb.

because she was afraid. Yes, sir, she
was afraid to go out by herself into
the Great World. The Weakling, who
from the very beginning had been the
smallest of the eight children, had re-
manned at home because she was
weakling. With the others gone, how
ever, she had more to eat and she
rapidly grew stronger, until she was
no longer weakling. She was still
small for her age, but she wasn't
weak. She was well and strong. De-
spite this, she was still called the
Weakling, because that was the name
that had been given her in the begin

How 1t Started
"Patter."
BY JEAN NEWTON,

=
BY JEAN NEWTON.
THAT stage comedian is rare in
deed who, as he goes through his
act. appreciates any other than its
surface implications.
Some of his lines gets q laugh:
some do not. Some get it sometimes
and sometimes-misery Of miseries-
some get gloomy grunts.
Certainly there Is nothing in the
usual performance suggesting the
Lords Prayer: that, nevertheless, is
why it is called "patter." and this is
why:
"Patter," as this type Of monologue
is described. is simply quick speech so
we'll rehearsed as to be uttered me-
chanically. requiring neither thought
nor reflection.
Just so is the Lords Prayer oftener
than not spoken; in this fashion does
1t customarily leave the lips.
The Latin name Of the Lords Prayer
Is Pater Noster. as a corruption of
which we have "patter."

Number 1 Wise Man.
Wisdom, as it is interpreted In
the Flowery Kingdom, is entirely
another matter; something to be
taken seriously in all it's aspects,
although in some respects, at least
to the Occidental mind, it is any
thing but that. The story is told
of a teacher who, striving to i'm
press upon his pupil the necessity
for logical thought and deduction
asked this question: Suppose you
were hanging by your teeth on
limb over a chasm with your hands
tied and passerby asked for infor-
nation as to where he could get a
cup of tea, what response would
YOU make?" Any student who can
intelligently reason out the answer
is in a fair way to becoming
Number 1 wise man and acquire
footing for the rest of his days.
"When a bell is struck. which
makes the echo-the bell or the
hammer?" Suicide has ensued be-
cause Of this simple query. The
more one reflects the more difficult
the solution.
Philosophical by nature are the

crate and the simple rituals with
equal zest. The teachings Of Budda
remain paramount throughout al
