After Colder recovered somewhat,

You must prepare for this trick by
tying knot in the upper corner of
the handkerchief. That corner is held
hidden by the thumb and fingers Of
the right hand. After twice raising
the lower corner and shaking 1t down
again, simply change the ends.
You retain the original lower corner,
while the knotted corner falls. Done
smoothly, this completely deceives the
onlookers. They win think that you
actually shook knot Into a corner
of the handkerchief.

GREATLY GOOD
BY DOUGLAS MALLOcH

THIS Is the greatness of great deeds,
= BY which the humble man succeeds
Where oftentimes the mighty falls:
That greatness Is not measured In
The name we wear or wealth we win,
Where often littleness prevails:
For any can be great who would,
Since all men can be greatly good.
This Is the greatness OF this earth,
That greatness counts not wealth as
worth
Nor title the important thing.
For men. what task they may pursue,
Are measured by the good they do.
Not by the profit 1t may bring
The measure OF mans brotherhood
Is merely being greatly good
This Is the greatness OF the great,
Whether they MOLLY lead the state
Or nobly teach village school,:
That they more happiness have brought
BY noble principles they taught
Than those who poorly teach or rule.
Both shall be judged, as heaven would,
By whether they are greatly good

prefer to live at the snow line in the
Summer. where plants are available.
In the Winter they wander down to
the lower lands, where they can find
enough pine shoots to keep them
alive. Food Is sought morning and

In the Summer the chamois are
clothed IN deep, rich chestnut

Is q grayish tint. Under the long
brown hair Of the outer coat Is q
warm, thick woody fur, also gray In
color, and dense enough to be OF

enough for all four feet to rest. The
outer edges Of the hoof extend beyond
the bottom of the toes and are able
to grasp firmly to the rough surface
of the stony base.
During most of the year you will
see the younger generation with all
their female relatives. The males
prefer "to be alone" at least the
older one. When October comes they

Is time to seek the company of former
wives and offspring. They are al
gregarious. but not in a friendly OF

the younger males-most of whom
they rout. Their rivals they also chal-

Naturally. their offspring are strong
