He next led a low club from his
own hand and finessed dummy's nine,
Mr.. Burnstine allowing the trick to
hold. Declarer now played the eight
OF spades from dummy. Mr.. Burn
stine, of course, played low, whereupon
the declarer went into a long huddle
and finally decided that the opening
lead Of the nine-spot of spades had
been the top Of doubleton. Hence
ne finessed the eight and Mr.. Jacoby
won with the 10.
Mr.. Jacoby now led his other club,
declarer f1nessed the jack, Mr.. Burn
stine won with the king and gave
his partner q run. At this point
declarer had lost three tricks and still
had one losing diamond and two losing
hearts. and so he was down one.
While it all looks Like rather stupid
play on the part Of the declarer,
remember that this was q match
point game, where every trick counted.
If Mr.. Jacoby's opening lead of the
nine-spot Of spades had been the top
Of a worthless doubleton declarer's
play would have gained a trick, in
stead Of losing the two it actually did.

How 1t Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.
Coxey's Army.

A REGIMENT of ragamufins, q
a troop in tatters-a mass of
marching humans divested of vest
ments-to such as these is commonly
applied the derisive cognomen "Cox-
ey's Army"
There was real Coxey. He did COM
mand so-called army. It was mot
ley assemblage.
General" Coxey, now 50 years old,
first made the headlines about 1894.
The United States was then in the
throes Of serious depression. Again,
the absorbing problem that grayed
the temples of those intrusted with
the public veal was how to reduce
the vast numbers Of the unemployed.
Coxey had ideas how this should
be accomplished. In the light Of our
own fiery furnace, they seem nothing
about which to get exercised. In his
day. however. the proposals, which in
cluded issuance of Government bonds
to raise money for public works prof.
ects. made many people quite jittery.
The eyes of the Nation were sud-
denly centered upon Coxey when he
led an army Of out-of-works on a
36-day trek from Ohio to Washington,
D. c.
While declaiming on the steps Of
the Capitol, Coxey was arrested,
charged with "treading upon the grass
and injuring shrubbery" He paid a
S. fine, served 20 days in jail and was
released.
Subsequently, Coxey ran for many
public offices, finally withdrawing as
nominee Of the Farmer-Labor party
for President Of the United States.

Bedtime Stories
Danny Makes Himself at Home

Danny found an old rusty can In
the bushes by the fence. It was q big
four-sided can, which once upon .
time had contained oil. In one end,
at one corner, was the round opening
from which the oil had been poured.
As the can lay on the ground on its
site, this opening was close to the
ground. It was, Of course, . perfect
mouse hole. Danny stood with his
forepaws on the edge Of 1t and his
nose inside. His nose twitched. He
was finding out by means Of that lit
tie nose If 1t was safe to 90 inside.
He found 1t was. He went In. He ran
all around inside, and he popped out
Of that little round hole. His eyes
snapped.
"It's perfect" squeaked Danny. "1t's
perfect. It will be the best home I've
ever had. It will be the safest home
I've ever had. None of my enemies
can get me in there"
Now Danny wasn't quite right about
that. Shadow the Weasel could slip

ERE Is an Immigrant from

Is willing to give so much, the
4 i ailanthus, or tree Of heaven.
We are so rich In lovely trees, and
We have 30 often paid little enough
attention to our native Americans,
that we can hardly be blamed for not
noticing the immigrants.
According to records, the ailanthus
Settled" In Pennsylvania, near Phila-
delphia, In 17s4. It has been so sue
cessful that steps had to be taken to
control it. In 1920 it was formally
introduced into New York by nur-
seryman. The young immigrants
were planted extensively in New York
and Brooklyn and they throve might
lily.
Alas! The planters in those days
did not make the fine distinction be-
tween the sexes Of trees that some
times has to be made, when trees are
desired for city growth. In this case,
the father trees, when in bloom, had
q most Objectionable odor. The pollen
drove the folks af1iicted with catarrh
and hay fever mad. The caterpillars,
who loved the blossoms and foliage
annoyed the pedestrians by dropping
down on them unannounced.
Indignation rose high against the tree
Of heaven and something had to be
done about 1t. The birds did their
best about controlling the caterpillars,
but naturally they could not control
the malodorous waves from the
flowers.
The experts held q conference. Fa-
ther trees must 60 and mother trees
alone stay in the city. Now pistillate
or mother trees are guaranteed Gas

numbers are bought for city planting.

ginko, you remember; that is, be-
cause the fruit Is so objectionable)
The ailanthus is now used extern

dust do not injure the beautiful. fern
like leaves; crowded conditions and
poor soil do not trouble the roots. So

trees just by switching one sex Of the
tree to the country or nursery.
During the Winter the stif1 ap-
pearance of the ailanthus Is q bit
unattractive, but in the Spring all
is forgotten when the great fernlike
leaves, reminding you much Of the
sumac, cover the twigs and branches.
The fruit clusters are very lovely,
having a variation of rich reds,
bronzes and pinks. In late Summer a
thrifty ailanthus looks like an over
grown hydrangea.
The seed children are amazingly
strong. So are the young suckers
that spring up in one season. A tree

TOMMY LORD had his wish. Re-

Montreal he saw on the boardings that

that the featured" line in the ads
was now split between Una Kaller and
Lettie Lord. When he went back

in her own room.
He said hello to his sister, and then
asked for Una. He arranged his af-
fairs to spend the week there, and
managed two weeks later to be In To-

falo, Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati
were places Of vital importance to his
business in succeeding weeks. It just
happened, perhaps. that knights Still

Of his visit.
Chicago followed. The audience
gave its plaudits and its cheers to Una

was marked by abundant evidence
that Una Kaller's electric perform

ETTIE proved game. That night,
for the first time since the en-

AMY MEADOW MOUSE had

~ AMY MEADOW MOUSE had
run the whole length of one
of Miner the Mole's tunnels.
It was just under the sur
face, for the grass roots had been
pushed up when Miner had been dig
ging, and it was the work of only q
minute for Danny to make q little
hole and let in the sunlight. Care
fully Danny enlarged that hole until
it was big enough for him to poke
his head out. He blinked in the sun
light, for, you know, he had been in
the dark for some time. For a few
moments he sat with only his head
out. He looked this way and looked
that way. Presently he saw the tree
where he had last seen Killy the
Sparrow Hawk. He wondered If Killy
was still there. keeping watch. In a
minute he found out. Killy few out
from the top of the tree down into
the grass. then back up into the tree.
He had caught a grasshopper. OF
course, Danny was too far away to
see this, but he knew from Killy's
actions that he had caught some
thing.
IF he's going to wait for me he'll
wait long time" chuckled Danny.
He thinks I'm still in the hollow,
near the foot of that tree. I guess
would be if hadn't found this tun-
mel that Miner the Mole dug. It Is
lucky for me that it passed close to
the foot Of that tree. Well, I'm hun
cry, so I guess I'll go out and get
something to eat"
OF course, Danny didn't have to 20
far to get something to eat, for he
lives quite largely on grass and there
was plenty of nice tender second
i growth of grass all about him. He
:ound that he was near the edge of
the Green Meadows. There was a
! fence with some bushes growing along
that fence. Altogether it was a very
{ good place for a Meadow Mouse
! Danny explored it thoroughly for q
short distance all around.
Il guess can be comfortable
here" said Danny. "Ill look around
and find place to make myself a
nest. I'll always have that tunnel
Of Miners to dodge into in time Of
danger. There's only one thing miss
ing. That is company. It's kind OF
lonesome around here. Now If Nanny
Meadow Mouse were here I wouldn't
ask for any better place to live. OF
course, there may be some dangers
that do not know of, but I never
yet saw place where there were no
dangers for a Meadow Mouse.
