LITTLE STORIES FOR BEDTIME.

There was great excitement at
the Smiling Pool. There was SO
much excitement that everybody
was talking at once. You see, it
was this way: Paddy the Beaver
had suddenly appeared and given
warning that he was going to build
q dam across the Laughing Brook
way back In the Green Forest, SO IS
to make pond there for himself.
OF course that meant that the
Laughing Brook would stop laugh
ing and the Smiling Pool would
stop smiling. for there would be very
little water in either. Paddy had
promised that as soon ~ his pond
was big enough to suit him the
water would run again, the Laugh
ing Brook would laugh as merrily
Is ever and the Smiling Pool would
smile tlst as 1t was doing now.
How do We know that he will
do - be aid be viii and let the
water run again7" demanded Billy
Mink. @For my part don't believe

Otter. Hes Just Z great big bully.

male will produce about 100, 900 eggs
at one spawning. They are tiny,
heavy and coated with sticky sub
stance that anchors them to any
thing they touch as they reach the
bottom. They hatch In six days,
grow rapidly and reach . length Of
~ inches their first summer. Then
they leave their birthplace and
strike out for salt water. When fully
grown their length will be about II
inches. Then the return to fresh
water is made again.
Alewives were first canned COM
mercially as . part Of the food con-
servatton program during the First
World War, though herring roe was
canned many years previous to 1917.
The greater part Of the canning is
done in the Chesapeake area.
Trap nets are used for catching
alewives. The fish are canned with
in three or four hours after they are
caught. Special machines are used
for scaling the fish, but they are
carefully cleaned by hand so that
the very thin belly flesh can be re-
moved without cutting into the roe.
After thorough washing, 4 treat
ment Of brine and draining, the
pieces are packed into the cans,
which are then sealed.

runs Of Alewives will be needed. And

II propose that Billy Mink and Little

Agreed cried all the other 1T

Now Billy Mink and Little Joe
Otter never do any work that they
can avoid. and everybody knew 1t.
Billy Mink shifted his position on

"Of course, you're not afraid"
jeered Spotty the Turtle. "Of course
you saw those great big front teeth
Of his and are just aching to know
how they feel!"
Billy Mink lost his temper. He
was afraid, and he knew that every
body knew It. He didn't dare to m
terfere With Paddy the Beaver. But
hs tried 10 make the others think
that he really didn't care what hap
pened to the Smiling Pool.

Otter had never seen Paddy the
Beaver before, and they were .
little upset to md him 50 big and
strong. The truth Is, they were
just . little jealous. Perhaps right
down deep inside they felt . little
bit Of fear. They were . little bit
inclined to bully the smaller people
Of the Laughing Brook and the
Smiling Pool, and It wasn't pleasant
to have some one come whom they
didn't dare to bully.
Jerry Muskrat ana Grandfather
Frog and Spotty the Turtle had met
Paddy In the spring when he had
built . dam and stopped the water.
and they remembered how willingly
he had torn down the dam when
they told him how dreadful 1t was
to have the Laughing Brook stop
laughing and the Smiling Pool stop
smiling. 50 now they believed that
he would do Just Is he prumised.
Stiu It was dreadful to think Of
having 20 little water even for .
little while.

If North had bid six spades over
five hearts. South would have gone
to seven. But when North stopped
at five spades South decided to be
conservative.
West opened the jack of hearts,
South winning with the ace. The
duplicated distribution of the minor
suits made the hand depend on
losing no club trick. Had South
been slan-bang player, he'd have
drawn trumps and finessed the jack
of clubs-and lost his contract.
Instead, he drew three rounds of
trump and surrendered his heart
loser. When hearts were continued,
he ruffed. noticing that West dis
carded low club. Three rounds of
diamonds gave him the whole story.
East had started the hand with
three trumps. six hearts and either
three or four diamonds (West had
never discarded q diamond. Hence,
East either had a singleton club or
was altogether void of the suit.
Obviously. there was no point In
trying q routine club finesse. In
stead, he cashed the club king to
find out what East would play.
When East dropped the 10 of clubs
1t was easy to lead a club to finesse
dummy's nine. Counting the hand
had pointed out the only line of
play by which the contract could
be made.

night when David Herbert VIII
liams, 232 Summit St, called at

that no one OF that name resided
there he left but returned shortly
to renew his demand.
On that occasion Mrs. McDougall
summoned state police, informing
them that the unwelcome visitor
was threatening her husband with
knife. Omeers arrived as VIII
liams was leaving, took him into
custody and found a large, bone
handled hunting knife in his pos
session.
Williams was placed in Washte-

ment on charges of carrying con-
cealed weapon.
He came here from Pekin, Ill.

his last stopper there. he scored
three spades in the dummy and
then tried the diamond finesse.
West, Of course, won this and then
set him with two more club tricks.
Competitive thinking would
have shown South that his con-
tract depended entirely upon West
not getting the lead except when
clubs were still stopped. II the dia-
mond finesse toward him could
have been taken first. 1t should
have been. But the dummy had not
enough entries. Consequently, he
should have given up a diamond
trick as soon as he was In the lead,
without ever finessing the suit and
not caring who won it. Then. after
winning the club return. he could
have fnessed spades toward East.
Even losing that, he would be
home. II East had a club left, he
could have afforded to let II score
the, fourth trick for the side. II
West had five, East would then
have no more and could not return
the suit.
