Flip yelped excitedly, and Bowser
bayed. The young Coons completely
lost their heads. They could think Of
nothing but running, OF trying to find
something to climb. So frightened
were they that they didn't know in
what direction they were running.
Father and mother went along,
vainay trying to get control Of the
panic-stricken youngsters. Had Bob
by and Mrs. Bobby been alone they
would have moved just as fast as.
and perhaps faster, than the young
Coons were running, but there would
have been no noise. They would have
run silently, and they would have
picked their way and known exactly
where they were going. They might
have been frightened but would have
used their heads. There would have
been no panic.

ran for their lives for the first time

BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.
ROBBY COON tries not to lose his
head. That Is what Reddy Fox
does. That is what those of the little
people of the Green Forest and the
Green Meadows who live long do. II
they had made habit Of losing their
heads every time they were badly
frightened they would long ago have
lost their lives also. Whenever you
see one Of the, little people in fur or
feathers that shows that he or she Is
old, you may know that one Is smart
also. Only the smart live to be old.
Over in Farmer Browns cornfield
Bobby Coon, Mrs. Bobby and their five
nearly grown children were thoroughly
enjoying 4 picnic. They were feast
ing on corn in the milk. And, too,
they were wasting more than they
were eating. Right in the midst Of
their good time Bobby Coon caught q
sound that caused him to freeze in
stantly. That means that he stood
perfectly motionless. His head was
lifted. His ears were set forward. He
was listening.
Mrs. Bobby did the same thing.
She did 1t because she saw Bobby
do it, She had heard nothing, but
she knew that he had heard some-
thing, so she, too. listened 1t is thus
that they work together. One of the
young Coons. happening to notice
what his parents were doing. did the
same thing. He did it without know
ing why. He simply initiated his par
ents. 1t Is through imitation Of their
elders that many Of Mother Natures s
children learn their most important
lessons.
Bobby was just about ready to
think that he had been mistaken
when that sound was repeated. 1t
WAS nearer and therefore louder. 1t
was sharp yelp. There was no mis-
taking it. Mrs. Bobby gave Bobby a
quick glance, then both turned and
began to round up the children. a
couple of which had wandered some
distance into the cornfield.
Again there was q sharp yelp, fol-
lowed by a bark, and mingled with
these were other voices, the voices
OF Farmer Browns boy and his cous-
ins. This time all the young Coons
heard. One Of them started to run.
and right away there was q panic
The five young Coons tore through
that corn like \ herd Of Pigs. Such a
noise as they made!
Farmer Browns boy heard them,
and at once he sent Bowser the Hound

out. OF course Bowser and Flip
heard them. They didn't have to use

the date palm. which may be found
fiourishing in Syria today.
Most palms must be grown from
seeds. This is true Of the Christmas
tree palm. In Florida, while there is
always a chance in the winter of
slight frost, it is rarely heavy enough
to hurt palms. Therefore, it is safer
to raise the palms in . sheltered spot
until the little plant is strong enough
to bear transplanting.
Water is most essential to any palm,
and unless this is obtainable, as well
as a rich rotted sod, the palm will
soon languish and die. The root
system shows a matted mass going
down as deep as it can reach for
moisture.
The Norfolk Island pine is also
known as tke Christmas cree palm.
Its feathery looking foliage lends itself
we'll for Yuletide decorations. The
lower leaves drop off as the new ones
OF the top appear. The stems are cov-
cred with sharp projections, which
must be avoided when the palm fronds
are being cut.
The last Is years have seen the
greatest progress in palm culture for
decorative purposes. Now it has
reached the dignity of real business
and 1t is a paying one. The seedlings

(Araucaria excelsa).

THERE are few people in the
world who do not admire
i palms. They are among our
most striking plants in the
tropical and semi-tropical climates.
There are not so many species OF
palms when you consider the grasses
or the orchids. It is estimated that in
all We have 1900 species described
and more are known.
No one has trouble in Identifying
the palms, because they are 20 orna-
mental in appearance. Many OF them
have economic importance, their
fruits, stems and leaves being made
into valuable products.
Palms do not develop striking look
ing or beautiful flowers. Most Of them
are a greenish white or yellow; \ few
are red or orange colored, but these
inconspicuous flowers produce great
number OF seeds.
