Uncle Rays Corner
BY RAMON COLEMAN.

A story was told years ago about
an Irishman who took his first ride
in a streetcar in New York City.
Finding no seat, he stood in the
aisle. On his shoulder he held a
heavy sack of potatoes.
why don't you set the potatoes
on the fioor?" asked one of the
passengers.
"Oh, moi" replied the Irishman.
81 wouldn't do that! The poor
mules already have enough of a load
without my sack of potatoes!"
Probably that is just one of many
stories about Irishmen which never
happened. Yet there is a point of
truth in 1t. In past times, mules
and horses were used to pull street.
cars.
New York is the pioneer street
car city" of the world The first
street railway for passengers was
laid down on Manhattan Island
ITO years ago. 1t ran from the
center of town to the suburb called
Harlem.
The rails of that line had deep
grooves in them, to keep the wheels
of the cars from running off the
tracks People who drove carriages
did not like the grooves in the
tracks. The rims on the wheels of
their carriages often were damaged
after running into the grooves.
Boston also put in a horse-drawn
streetcar system. and so did Phila-
delphia. Philadelphia used a new

sailed out over the cornfield straight
toward the scarecrow, and as he
flew he shrieked at the top of his
voice:
Cav, cav, cav; Cav, cav, cav!

that all his relatives might hear.
There's nothing here to do us harm
There's nothing here to cause alarm
The corn is tender, young, and tne;
Come on! Come on with me and dine!
Little Mite, the runaway baby of
Danny Meadow Mouse, who you
know, had found a lovely home in
the scarecrow, was terribly fright
ened when he heard all that racket
and saw Blacky coming straight
toward him. He thought, of course,
Blacky was coming for him, and
with frightened squeak he

scarecrow, where he had made him
self a lovely bed. AS a matter of
fact, Blacky wouldn't have objected
in the least to a tender, young
meadow mouse for lunch, but he
was much more interested in the
corn. When at last Little Mite got
UP courage to peep out. what do
you think he saw? Why, Blacky
and all his relatives pulling up
Farmer Browns corn as fast as ever
they could, and talking as fast as
they could while they were doing
it. They certainly were having a
good time, and he wished with all
his might that he could have just
as good a time. You see, he didn't
know that they were in mischief.
They did, however, for they took
turns in sitting on a fence post to
watch for Farmer Browns Boy.

put that scarecrow in the cornfield
Blacky happened to be over in the
Green Forest. The first time he went
down on the Green Meadows, of
course, he saw the scarecrow right
away. and he took great pains to
keep away from the cornfield: The
corn was very tempting, but that
thing looked like a man. Blacky
didn't believe it was one. No, sir he
chuckled as he looked at it, for he
knows all about scarecrows, and he
was quite sure that this was one.
But there was just chance that
it might not be, and Blacky was
far too wise to take that chance 1t
had something that looked like a
gun and he had no mind to risk his
precious skin in finding out If 1t
really was.

I guess that before the corn is too
high to be sweet and tender I can
tell for sure what it is," said he to
himself. So dozen times a day
Blacky would sit on a post on the
edge Of Farmer Browns cornfeld
and watch and watch that scare
crow. and each time he was little
more sure that it was quite harmless.
He was sitting on the post one after
noon studying and studying the
scarecrow, when he thought he saw
something moving on it. Right
away Blacky fixed his bright eyes
on that little spot. Was it a rag
futtering in the wind?~
Il don't think So" muttered
Blacky. "Ha! As sure as I'm alive
it is a mouse, little meadow mouse!
Now know that it is nothing but
scarecrow and perfectly harmless"

while lizards are sun-lovers with
scales like their relatives, the
snakes. Nevis have smooth, moist
skin like frogs, their cousins.
One of the most common nevis
is the one shown here. 1t is often
found in brooks, shallow lake bor-
ders and ponds, where an abund-
ance of aquatic plants are present.
Though it measures from TO
inches in length. you may not see
it at first, because the olive green
or brownish skin blends perfectly
with the surrounding colors. Along
the sides is row of small, bright
red black-edged spots. Underneath.
the newt is yelloWish, decorated
with black spots.
Disturbing the water in the vicin-
ity of his hideout causes the newt
to move rapidly away. The long
vertically fattened tail, which is
narrowly winged above and below,
enables the swimmer to reach safe
harbor some distance beyond. How
ever, the newt may leave one place
which he has reason to feel is on
