BILLIE BROWNIE’S VISIT
"I don't f suppose," tall] Billie
Brownie, when he had arriveil back
home and had Joined the other Brown-
ies, “that an.rone has any Idea how
often Billie Brownie has had said to
him by bit family and bit Fairyland
frienda:
•"Now, Billie, five an account of
where yon have been and what you
h»rt seen.’
“L know that when one member of a
family cornea home from a trip or a
party the others will say:
“‘Now five us an account of wlint
you saw and who were there and what
they bad on and what they had to
eat.'
“Well, it it the same way here. You
have Just asked me to give an account
of my last trip. For I am asked too, to
give an account of where I have been
and what I have teen and what was
worn and all such things.”
“We want to hear all the news from
the last trip, Billie," the Brownies
said. ,
And Bennie Brownie gave his broth-
er a hug and said:
‘Xet us hear the news, Billie."
"Well, I had a short talk with a wolf
In a zoo," said Billie. “He said he had
Just heard the expression, ‘Keeping the
w olf from the door.’
"He said he understood that It
meant people must try to work hard

( WOOD'S PART IN OAMM
Where would our fames be without
trees T Ail are dependent upon wood
for their existence, aayt the London
Tit Bits. Football It one of the few
‘hat could dispense with It, for the
goal posts and the flag stlcka could
be made of some other material, but
wood It the most convenient. To
cricket wood la Indispensable. Where
should we he without willows from
uhlrti our bats are made and ash for
the wickets? But a bat needs other
woods as well as willow. To help
to make the handle springy cane la
Introduced for splicing, rubber (the
product of another tree) frequently
being let Into the handla to give It
greater “spring." A bat made entirely
of willow, without any splicing, would
have no “spring" at all, and a player
would not be able to hit a hard ball
owing to the “sting." Ash la used
In many way* In sport. The heat
frames of lawn tennis and badminton
rackets are made from It; §o are
hockey stlcka and the cheaper vari-
eties of croquet mallets. Bows and
arrows and billiard cues gre also made
principally from ash. Cane seems to
be the only satisfactory wood for
splicing, and It is used In the handles
of hockey sticks and tennis rackets
to Impart "aprtng." The better woods,
such as ebony and mahogany, are
used to weight the butta of billiard
cues. The heads of golf clubs are
usually made of beech, as are croquet
balls. Hickory or greenheart provides
the shafts of golf clubs and fishing
rods. From lancewood are made the
finest bows for archery; this wood Is
also used for high grade cricket
stumps.

A Short Talk With a Wolf.
enongh so they would not be hungry,
but would always have enough money
with which to buy food.
"He said he was flattered to think
they thought of a wolf as being a dan-
gerous creature In every sort of a way.
"But I told him I didn't think it was
much of a compliment.
“However, as he said, he was the
one to be complimented or angry.
“He wore a splendid fur costume
and really looked handsome and In
the best of health.
“Then I saw some hens upon the
doorsteps of a house and upon low’
branches of bushes and trees trying to
keep the rain off them, for It was
ralMagJn that part of the country.
“The cows looked quite wet and aa
though they had become so wet they
didn't rare about the rain any more.
“And one of them said to me:
"'I don't know whether It Is better
to be wet, or to be dry and to spend
one’s time whisking the flies away with
my tall.
“It Is a matter I have not yet de-
cided.’
“1 saw some cows with big horns
and some wearing a kind of purple-
black costume. Perhaps I should say
that the costumes were their own skin!
"Then I saw a calf reaching his front
foot out and up over his eye and wip-
ing his eye.
'"niat was a funny enough sight!
"And then he reached wav hack
with hls left hind leg and gave bis
right hind leg a little rubbing.
“He was quite clever, I thought, flic
way he could reach about over him-
self, If that Is the way I may speak.
"You may speak that way,” said the
Brownies. "We are not going to bo
particular aa to the way you describe
things and whether you are so correct
In your speech as long as we hear nil
vour news.*’
••Good," said BUlle. "Then I may
continue without worrying.
<‘| many other cows sitting, some
with their front feet crossed in front
of them and they would sometimes
look at passing motors and sometimes
they would not pay attention.
"Seme of the cows looked at me
and didn't speak and some made little
moo sounds which I thought quite
"Then I saw moss growing In the
cracks of a funny old, old stone house
Jhlch was right up close to another
atone house-so close that you could
bardlv tell there were two houses.
“And I was told these houses were
very, very old and tint the moss felt
so comfortable there, and that the
houses liked the moss for It made
them appear more Interesting looking

call startling, but yet there Is some-

Alarming possibilities of the radio
are seen with every new development
Now It is reported from Dawson that
radlr apparatus Is making Its appear-
ance In the Yukon, and the worst fea-
ture of the report Is that residents at
that far northern latitude are able to
hear the Jazz music that emanates
from New York, San Francisco and
other cities, says the St. Louis Globe-
Democrat. “Dance halls at Miller
Creek and Kano Mills,’’ we are told,
“have experimented and found that
they can tune In on radio concerts for
their jazz music." This Is something
that might have been foreseen, but It
is, indeed, news of dire portent. Ameri-
can jazz, from which there Is no es-
cape at borne and which already has
made a successful Invasion of certain
foreign countries, is destined to be
carried by the radio to the uttermost
ends of the earth. What will be the
consequence no one can tell.
The derivation of dog names recent-
ly formed the subject of an Interest-
ing discourse by a widely-known dog
fancier. The spaniel, It seoni9, was
so called because the original
breed of this type came from Spain,
says the Detroit News. The Blen-
lieinf spaniel got his name from Blen-
heim palace, where this dog first
gained popularity in the time of the
great duke of Marlborough. In the
same way the King Charles spaniel
owes Its name to the merry monarch.
Fox terriers did not gain their name
from a likeness to a fox, but from
the fact that formerly they were
used In hunting foxes. Many years
ago they were sent by their masters
down the fox’ burrow to draw and
kill their quarry. It was In those days
a saying that a good terrior never
came out of a burrow without a fox.

Constipation
breeds 40 diseases
What a wreck of the human body constipation
can make. It floods the system with dangerous
poisons. It leads to serious diseases. Don't
neglect it!
Kellogg's Bran, cooked and krumbled, if eaten
regularly, is guaranteed to relieve permanently^
the most chronic cases of constipation. If it fails,
your grocer will irturn your money. Kellogg’s is
ALL bran. Doctors recommend it. They know
that only ALL bran can bring 100 per cent results.
Kellogg's Bran stimulates the intestine in
nature's own wonderful way. It sweeps, cleans
and purifies I It makes the bowels function
naturally—and regulax.y.
Kellogg’s Bran has a delicious, nut-like flavor.
Eat it with milk or cream—or in the recipes given
on every package. Eat two tablespoonfuls daily
—in chronic cases, with every meal. All grocers.

It Wouldn’t Bother Him
A Japanese boy came to the home of
a minister In Los Angeles recently and
applied for a position. Now, It hap-
pened that the 4iousehnld was already
well supplied with servants, so the Min-
ister’s wife said: ”1 am sorry, but
we really haven’t enough work to k mp
another bo.v busy.”
“Madam," *ald the Oriental pollt *ly,
”1 am sure thnt you must have. You
may not know what a little hit of work
it takes to keep me employed."
Outside of certain strips and cen-
ters where arteries of travel cross,
Paris has no night life. In a good 2,-
f.tiO of her 2,722 streets one gets the
Impression at nine o’clock that every-
body has gone to bed, and, at ten, that
all the Inhabitants have either moved
to the country or died, says Scribner’s
Magazine. In the little cafes and res-
taurants of m.v quarter, as It draws
toward ten the waiters begin to re-
gard you with an evil eye, and at ten
they pile up the chulra on the empty
tables and begin to sweep the floor.
Even In the larger ones, which keep
open an hour or two longer, you ex-
perlenee, at eleven o'clock, the very
disagreeable sensation of the man In!
the old song who felt, "like one who
treads alone some banquet hall de
serted."

Fastidious fancy Is difficult to
fathom where values are coneerned. A
dinosaur's egg Is old and useless, but
is expected to bring thousands of dol-
lars. As n practical proposition a
lien's egg Is fnr more worthy of con-
sideration. The kitchen Is still fortu
mite In not being obliged to compete
with the curio collection.
References to American diplomacy
ns Inferior to that of the old world
nre frequent. Americans are usually
quick to learn almost any kind of a
game, though Inclined to he particular
as to the kind of rules under which
they play.
Another reason why we expect very
little from the new truth serum Is.
even If It be etbeadou* the supply
will he so limited that very little can
be accomplished. If It were In ocean-
fills. Instead of in ounce*, the rase
might be different.
