Bankrupt!

Bankrupt, you say, and it's not very
funny
To lose your money?
But I know one who dwells In
endless night,
Bankrupt Of sight,
While you, forced to the bottom Of the
hill,
Can see light still
Unfalteringly facing o new goal,
With added strength Of soul.
You will advance and conquer finally
Your bankruptcy;
While she will sit, until her days are
done,
Bereft Of sun.
We are all bankrupts sometime or
ife's way.
Some face a day
Surrounded by the trappings of great
wealth,
Bankrupt of health,
And some on twisted pathways blindly
grope;
They have lost hope.
For one bankrupt of faith. no Longer

And happiness, once fed, will not re.

ready creeping through the Green
Forest for the night. Suddenly a
strong scent caused Peter to stop alb
ruptly. He knew that scent. He knew
it only too well. 1t was the scent Of
Reddy Fox.
Hes right close by" thought
Peter. Nov am in trouble. I don't
know which way to go. I don't dare
stay here, yet I don't dare move.
Why, oh why, didn't go home when
I had the chance!"
Perhaps you can guess how feter
strained his ears to catch the faint
est sound that might let him know
where his enemy was. All the time
his wabbly little nose was twitching
He could still smell Reddy Fox, but
he couldn't tell just where that scent
came from. It seemed to be all about
him. And then twig snapped right
back Of him. It was a very tiny snap,
for it was very tiny twig. I doubt
if you or I would have heard it had
we been in Peters place, but Peter
heard it. Yes, sir, Peter heard It.
With a great leap he bounded for
ward. He wasn't an instant too soon.
Reddy Fox leaped, even as Peter did,
and Reddys jump landed him exactly
where Peter had been sitting.
Once more Peter Rabbit was racing
for his life. He has had many such
races and they have been with various
people. He had raced with Reddy Fox
before. In fact, he had raced with
Reddy many times. In each Of these
races the prizes for which they ran
had been the same. Peter had always
run for his life. Reddy had always
run for a dinner. OF course, it is
needless to say that Peter had always
won.
But would he win this race? There
was a very great doubt in Peters
mind. You see, he knew that If the
race was long one he surely would
be caught. He could outrun, or at
lease out-dodge, Reddy a short dis
tance, but he would tire long before
Reddy would. So it was absolutely
necessary that he should reach a
place of safety. a place where Reddy
could not get at him. Peters first
thought was of that old piece of pipe
behind the sugar house, and that is
what he started for. Yes, sir. that Is
what he started for
Half way there Peter suddenly re-
membered. II can't go there!"
thought Peter in a panic. Shadow

Reputation

that's that.
When you say Of man that he has
the reputation Of q crook, you don't
mean that that man Is Just q little
untrustworthy. You mean that he
ought to be In jail.
A man who once worked for my
father, in q little bank out in the Iowa
town, brought In a five-dollar bill one
day and gave 1t to my parent to
examine.
THAT bill Is bad" said my father.

into the length of old stovepipe lying
out back of Farmer Browns sugar
house. 1t was in that very piece of
pipe that Peter had been spending
his nights.
He must know now that I have
been around" said Peter to himself
"He would be sure to get my scent
in there. I guess I'd better 60 home
right away. Yes, sir, I guess I'd
better go home right away"
Still Peter didn't start. The truth
IS he was so frightened by the mere
news that Shadow the Weasel was
about that he just didn't want to
move. Shadow has that effect on
some of those he hunts Somehow
they seem to have the feeling that it
is useless for them to run; that there
is nothing they can do. So Peter con-
tinued to sit where he was for some

Squirrel had left. Finally Peter start

I should get there before Reddy Fox
can catch me, Shadow might come
back and fnd me in there. Oh, dear,
what can do? What can do?"
BY this time he had come In sight
Of the sugar house. The door was
open a little way. Peter didn't hesi-
tate. He Just put on a little speed
and headed straight for that door.
He felt that it was his one chance.
He was right.

Constitution Opposed.

Before the Constitution was rati-
fed by the ninth State, New Hamp-
shire, June 81, 1888. opposition to the
Constitution was based on various
grounds, among which the absence OF
any reference to the interests Of the
Western regions in the free navigation
CT the Mississippi was made a most
serious cause Of offense in States such
as Virginia, which had territory ex-
tending to that river.

Psychology

BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
WHAT happens when you lose sleep?
W Must you sleep the full amount
lost in order to catch up?" Many
experiments have been reported on
this subject during the last 40 years.
One experimenter kept his subjects
awake for more than two days. At
the end of the "sleep fast" the sub
jects showed a marked loss in ability
to pay attention. AS a result Of this
inattention they lost their usual ability
to memorize. The strangest fact dis
covered In that experiment was that
the subjects returned TO normal on
about IS per cent of the sleeping hours
lost.
All sleep experiments, however, are
really open to fallacious conclusions.
Very few persons are entirely awake
for any long period Of time. We spend
about a third Of our lives going
through the habitual motions Of
sleep. Many persons also have
their momentary maps" almost any
time during the day, even while doing
their habitual and routine tasks. Every

She pecked at the crust, and i'm
mediately there was an answering tap
from almost underneath. Mrs. Grouse
became quite frantic. We've got to
get them out somehow" chied she.
Then she began frantically to peck
at the crust. Thunderer did the same
thing.
Now that crust was thick. 1t had
rained enough the night before to
wet the snow for an inch or more
in depth. Then 1t had turned sud-
denly very cold and a crust had
formed. very hard crust that was
more than half an inch thick, almost

made little impression on it. Even
If they could peck little hole through,
they couldn't possibly peck away q
hole big enough for Grouse to get
out. After a little Mrs. Grouse
realized this. Then she became more
frantic than ever.

their way out, nor can we break a
way out for them," said she. What

Catnip (Nepeta Cataria).
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

ITO TABBY, a catnip bed is about
the most fascinating place in
the world So wild with de-
light is she upon finding a
fine clump of the favorite plant, that
she even tries to lie upon it.
Belonging to the mint family, this
weed of the waste places seems to
have such an effect on the animals
as the mint does on some of their
human brothers.
Usually you will find catnip in COM
pany with two old friends of ours,
wild thyme, known to us in song and
verse and minis Close by may often
be seen heartsease, Johnny -jump-up
and some member of the violet family.
Catmint or catnip is an escape from
old gardens in England. It was be-
lieved to be very effective remedy
for stomach ailments. Not only were
the leaves used for this purpose, for
grown-ups as well as animals, but tea
was brewed of them. There were
cooks in those days who used the cat
mint, or nip, to flavor puddings.
am not sure we could recommend its
use in this style today.
In the early Spring the pale purple
flowers that so soon fade to white,
with only a few dark purple spots
left on them, look up from their
short stems and remind you so much
of the many little Spring plants
about it.
You need not be in doubt long about
this plants identity. Crush a few
leaves and you will know at once
whether you have gussed correctly.

Wedding Day
BY ANNE CAMPBELL.

When mother saw her lovely Dorothy.
Like pale lily in her wedding gown.
She could not help the tears that
faltered down
Her cheek, grown pallid with anxiety.
Dorothy. as baby, was adored
BY every one =. . her mother saw her
now,
A rosy bud upon the parent bough.
Growing each day in grace before the
Lord.
The day she went to school for the
first time,
She saw her little hand flash in the
sun,
Waving at mother-a new day
begun
Another hill she must begin to climb.
Mother remembered Graduation Day;
Dorothy in another spotless dress,
Standing in all her girlish loveliness,
Her eyes as innocent as buds in May.
Her mothers inner eye saw everything
In that short life. in just a moments s
space
And then came Dorothy In bridal lace,
A picture Of young life and love and
Spring!
And suddenly her mothers tears were
dried,
kissing her newly married daughters
lips,
Clasping her eager rose-leaf finger
tips,
And In one moments magic, satisfied.
