others looking out for them, but it
isn't so with me. It was up to me to
catch this mouse If I could and did.
1t was up to the mouse to look out
for himself. and he didn't. I was
smarter than he. and that is all there
is to it. Perhaps the next mouse will
be too smart for me- Then he will live.
He'll deserve to live. I don't ask any
favors and don't give any. I think
I'll go little farther south. I'm glad
I don't have to stay in one place. I
can go where please when I please.
That is one advantage Of being suffi-

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS.

BUTCHER the Shrike is self lf-sufi-
cient. He asks no favors. He Is
wholly Independent. And he Is with
out friends. People who are wholly
self-sufflcient seldom have real friends.
They do not feel the need of friends,
and friendship is found only where
there is need of it. So IN the winter
when many other feathered folk flock
together Butcher the Shrtke is soli-
tary. He asks no favors, receives none
and grants none.
When Sammy Jay and his gang
drove Butcher from the Old Orchard
he accepted 1t as matter Of course.
They were too many for him and that
was all there was to that. He would
just move on. 1t made no difference
to him where he was 50 long as he
could get enough to eat. He would Is
soon BE- In one place as another. And
1t made no difference to him that
all the smaller feathered folk hated
him. They hated him because they
feared him. Hate usually springs
from and thrives on fear, you know
Being alone he had no one to talk

to but himself. Occasionally he
amused himself by mimicking others
and found that he could do very we'll
with the notes of some of his neigh
bors. we'll enough to fool them some-
times. This was fun Also 1t was Use
full where his presence wasn't sus-
pected.
This is funny world" said But
cher as he sat on top of telephone
pole watching for an opportunity to
catch feathered victim or a mouse,
he didn't care which OF course, he
was talking to himself. Yes, sir. It
is funny world. I'm hated by my
neighbors because I catch a few of
them. They think it is all right for
them to catch worms and insects. They
say they have to in order to live. Well,
I have to catch some of them If / am
to live, so what is the difference? 1t
isn't that I want to catch them. No
sir. 1T isn't that at all. I don't bother
them in summer when I can find
plenty of insects. But now I've got
to get food where I find it, and that's
that"
All the time he sat motionless, but
he didn't let his thoughts interfere
with making the best possible use of
those keen eyes Of his. From his high
perch he could look down into the
long, brown grass for some distance
around. His thoughts we're interrupted
by a slight, very slight, movement
in the grass at certain point. It was
very still. Not single Merry Little
Breeze was dancing about to stir that
grass He fixed his gaze on that spot.
A brown blade moved. He had not
been mistaken. Thesnext instant he
was hovering above that spot, then
plunged into the grass. There was
squeak. brief struggle, two or three
quick hard blows and Butcher picked
up mouse and carried 1t to the
nearest tree. There he ate it.
1T is every one for himself" thought

BUT CAN MANKIND
KEEP PACE WITH SCIENCE

Science is pointing the way to golden
age in which every person can be made
many thousands of times as wealthy as
he is today, President Karl I. Compton
of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology told a university convention this
week.
Reviewing the astounding progress
made by science and invention since the
turn of the present century, we are IN
clined to agree with him.
Then. reviewing the apparent lack of
progress made in settling mans hatreds
and griefs, we are constrained to ask:
"Will mankind be able to keep pace
with this undoubtedly great development
brought about by the unselfish, disinter-
ested efforts of science? Or will he turn
the findings of pure science to ways of
death and destruction, defiling the earth
that has been made better for him?"
This golden age predicted by DR.. Comp
ton will, he said, be founded upon cheap
mechanical energy rather than cheap
human energy
Such has been the unwaverirg trend
of scientific industrial development for
several decades. Yet, in spite of this real
ization that he is little by little acquir-
ing more and more leisure, man has not
yet worked out any good way to put
that leisure to good use.
Too often it has been used to devise
new methods of trouble making.
Along with this scientific develop
ment that will come to US in the follow
ing years, should we not develop another
science-the science of leisure?
Science, in the realm of industry and
research, is doing much for the world.
Yet it can do much more-by improving
mans own mental processes.
