helps him remain unseen most of
the time. In summer it is mixture
Of brown and gray that so closely
matches the color of the ground
and the dry brown leaves that when
Jumper sits perfectly still the keen
est of eyes often fail to see him.
In winter that coat Is as white as
the driven snow and if you chanced
to see Jumper sitting motionless you
would surely take him for a little
mound of snow.
But there is between-times when
Jumper is badly worried. You see,
if his coat should turn all white
before there is any snow he would
be very badly off, very badly off in
| deed. The dullest eyes would see
| him then. On the other hand if
the snow should fall and turn all
the Green Forest white before his
coat had turned at all, he would be
just as badly off. So this is why
Jumper SO anxiously asked his
cousin, Peter Rabbit, if the latter
could see any white hairs, and felt
little better when Peter said that
he could.
1t was about 10 days after this
that Peter met Jumper again.
Jumper was in fine spirits. He
showed it by the way he jumped and
kicked up his heels. Peter stared
at him minute or SO, then abrupt
ly demanded: whats the matter
with you, Cousin Jumper? What's
making you so happy and frisky?"
Relief" replied Jumper prompt
ly. "A great load is off my mind"
1T seems to be off your heels, too,"
retorted Peter as Jumper kicked his
heels in the air in the funniest way
you can imagine. You act to me
a little bit crazy. What was this
load of which you have been re-
lieved?"
DO you remember when we last
met how worried I WASP" asked
Jumper.
Peter nodded I'D forgotten all
about that he confessed. You
were worrying about the color of
your coat. I see it has changed
great deal since then. 1t is neither
brown nor white, but a whole lot
of both"
Jumper nodded his head vigorous
ly. That's it, Peter" said he That's
what has relieved my mind and
made me so light in the heels"
Jumper once more kicked the latter
high in the air. "Now," he con-
tinued, when there isn't any snow
on the ground I am still brown
enough not to be noticed, and when
there is snow on the ground I am
white enough not to be seen. BY
the time enough snow falls to re-
main all winter and keep the ground
white I shall be all white myself.
So great load is off my mind, and
that is why feel so frisky."
I'D feel frisky myself if I were
in your place" replied Peter, a wee
bit wistfully.

An elegant home was the labor OF
a gall wasp's offspring, blackberry
knot gall being the name of the
dwelling. You have passed by thou
sands of them as you rode by the
blackberry bushes climbing over
each other along the dusty wayside,
Or where great masses grew in fence
corners. Many who later became in
terested in growing things of fields
and woods soon were aware of the
strange and fascinating knots that
decorated the stems of weeds and
bushes.
A closer inspection always re-
vealed tiny holes in the hard
growth. Until the mystery was
cleared up by an introduction to
the strange homes of gall babies. it
rarely occurred to the observer that
the knot was the result of a small
and determined grub taking advan-
tage Of the plant upon which it's
mother has seen fit to place her egg.
AS the blackberry knot gall is
large and so easily obtained for
study purposes, it is one of the most
popular kinds taken to science
rooms by students for closer inspec-
ton. (Of course, the gals to be
found on oak trees are the first
choice)
The general color of this gall to
be found on the stems of our high
growing blackberries is dark green
during its first stages, turning to
lovely reddish shade later. From
this cozy retreat may come forth
several dozen tiny flies.
Since gals are of almost an end
less variety, it is well to decide upon
a species with which you would like
to become better acquainted rather
than to try to study too many of
them at first.
AS We have mentioned several
times before, each species builds
special style of architecture. and by
its form you can definitely know
what species did the building.
You will be quite surprised at the
interior of the gall home. The grub
or grubs who had spent their youth
within the confines of it, needed
neither air nor light. They con-
sumed the walls of their residence
and the plant came to its own res
cue by developing the swelling.
The mother lays her egg on the
food plant and in the spot where
she and all her grandmothers be-
fore her have been led to deposit
their eggs. 1t is an instinct that we
cannot fathom. The reason for it

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

To Jumper the Hare the color of
his coat is a most important matter.
1t really is. So while wasting much
thought on ones clothes usually is
both wrong and foolish, in Jumpers
case there is some excuse. You see,
it is this way. Jumper cannot fight
to protect himself from his enemies:
he has nothing to fight with. So
in order to live Jumper the Hare
must do one of two things; he must
keep out of sight of his enemies
or he must trust to his long hind
legs to take him out of reach.
Now Jumper the Hare is of very
good size. He is big enough to be
seen at some distance, especially
by such keen eyes as those of Reddy
Fox and Old Man Coyote and Hooty
the Owl and several others I might
mention. Because of this and his
inability to fight, Old Mother Nature
has taken pity on him and has
furnished him with a coat which

the substance of the plant. either
the stem or the leaf or root, accord
ing to the species. AS it eats, it
discharges through its mouth into
the tissues of the plant a secretion
from its glands manufactured with
in its body. The house of the larva
is begun at this moment and as
more of the tissues are consumed
the larger becomes the dwelling
covering the youngster. The shape
will be the same as it has been since
the gall wasp of this species began
its career on THIS earth.

PICKING THE WRONG HORSE

A half dozen years after the Ha- vaua treaty was drawn up, Brazil had a revolution. In keeping with its agreement, the U, s. government with Henry Stimson as Secretary of State permitted arms to move 10 the government forces. By the time they reached there, the rebels had won. They. took over the shipment of arms intended for the other side.
 Stimson was dubbed Wrong Horse" Henry for presumably back ing the wrong side, There are good sources here who say he knew the rebels would win but was deter- mined to respect the treaty regard less.
 The rebels didn't kick too much because they suspected the time would come when they would want the treaty lived up to in the same way. Those rebels are now the government. i.
 The Constitution provides that treaty shall become the supreme law of the land" but the. same status is enjoyed by an act of Con- gress such as the neutrality act.
 One high source. gave, the opin- ion that in event of civil war in Mexico the President would be nor ally obligated under the treaty to permit arms to go to Cardenas Gin spite of oil land seizures), even though it meant ignoring the neu- trality act.

 Of course a way out was provid- ed each nation. If any nation de- cides the rebel outbreak is justi- fled it may recognize" the rebel group as a legitimate belligerent and so ship arms or not, as it chooses.
 Now if a civil war should break out in Mexico the United States would be confronted at once with double question:
 Should it abide by the treaty and help out the Cardenas gov ernment? Or should it abide by the neutrality act and refuse aid to either side?

It, I do not know any place

Sage and Soil

Whenever that evil idea that

queer" overtakeS me, l know
1t is time to go to the hills
for a few hours. If the wind Is
blowing, I get out of it. If the
sun is shining, I try to find
shade. After a few hours OF CO.
citation I can go home, feeling
better. I has been a lifelong
habit of mine. Perhaps it will
help some one else.
The Creator gave me a very
awkward pair of hands. SC
many times I like to think OF
what I could do with a paint
brush-if.

Nature gave all she had in the

the great cloud of ''Over prOduc-
ton should hang everlastingly
on the horizon.
A ride we'll worth the time is
the one across the Rotten Grass
road to Lodge Grass from st.
Xavier. There is something eX-
hilerating about a dirt road
over rolling hills. The wheat is
growing to the tracks made by
cars, the grass is knee deep and
lush, the cattle are sleek and
fat, the creek is running the
full length and curleWs are e5-
peclall2 prevalent. The greatest
thrill of the ride over this road
came when we saw a buffalo
COW and her yearling calf come
sauntering into the water.
There was a feeling of the old
West lowering over the scene. At
our position there wasn't a
fence to be seen. A mile south
east, we coud barely see the
outline of a sheep wagon. Smoke
rose straight toward the heav-
ems as the herder cooked his
evening meal.
