How It Started By Jean Newton wMoooooooooooooooooooom •* “PASSIVE RESISTANCE** ) THE most effective actios Is fre quently Inaction. While actlrlty Is often a tower of strength, inactivity Is sometimes Just as powerful In its effect, because of the wear and tear of the suspense It creates and the discouragement It en genders. It Is this which Is often known as passive resistance, that species of op position which, though refraining from positive action is none the less force ful In accomplishing results. The expression was fathered by Hans Victor von Gnruh, on November 10. 1848. The author of the phrase was presi dent of the national assembly at Ber lin and the occasion for the use of it was when the body of which he was president was In danger of being at tacked by a mob, was offered and re jected armed protection by the Na tional Guard and Guilds of Berlin. <•. nil.

IRVINQ K1NQ TO PREVENT LOCKJAW IP TOO scratch yourself with a rusty hall stick tha nail Immediately Into hard wood and you will not have lock jaw. At least that la what they say In New England and varlenta of this belief are found on other sections of the country. Among the Grand Banks fishermen there is a belief that If, when a fishhook pierces the hand, the fishhook Is stuck three times Into wood the wound will not fester nor will any other evil consequences re sult from It Here we have once more a survival of the old, old worship of the tree-god coupled with the primitive belief In sympathetic magic. The nail, or the fishhook, by Its penetration of the flesh having attained a certain sym pathy with the wound it caused Is handed over to the tree-god to be dealt with and the tree-god, accepting the appeal of the wounded man and his votive offering, purifies the offending Instrument or neutralises its perni cious qualities and It In turn, by sym pathetic magic, renders the wound harmless. It Is the same sort of magic which, when you have rubbed a piece of pork on a wart and burled the pork causes the wart to disappear when the pork decays: only here the direct Interven tion of the tree god is Invoked—which Is needed as nails and fishhooks 4e not readily decay.

"Little Stories £>r Bedfinn ThornfortWJ., <y Burgess LITTLE BOB WHITE’S FRIEND WITH hi* eye* tightly closed be cause of the terror In his heart the little Bob White with the ach ing broken wing, broken by the shot from the terrible gun of the hnnter, was being carried be knew not where by Parmer Brown's Boy. Very tender was the way In which ha was carried and after a while he began to take a little comfort In the warmth of the hand which held him. Once in a while Parmer Brown's Boy would gently smooth the feathers of the Uttle head and say, “Poor little chap." Straight home went Parmer Brown’s Boy. Very, very gently he bathed the wounds of the Uttle Bob White. Then as gently as he could he put the broken bones of the wing back In place, and bound them there with little strips of thin wood to w. 1 “I Gueaa That Really I Am a Lot Bet ter Off." keep them from slipping. It hurt dreadfully and the little Bob White didn’t know what It all meant But he had suffered so much already that a little more suffering didn’t matter much and he bravely winked back the tears and didn’t so much as peep. When It was all over he was just put Into a box with a bed of soft clean hay, a little dlsb of water where he could reach It by Just stretching out his head, and a handful of wheat, and then be was left alone. Be was too sick and weary to want to do anything but squat down In that bed of hay and rest. Be was still afraid of what might happen to him, but It waa not such a great fear as before, for there had been something comfort ing In the gentle touch of Farmer Brown’s Boy. He didn’t understand at all what those strange wrappings about his body meant, but a lot of the ache and pain had gone from the broken wing and perhaps they had something to do with this. So gratefully be drank of the water, for he had been burning with thirst, and then settled himself as comfort ably as possible and In no time at all was asleep. Yes, sir, he was asleep) You see he was so worn out with fright and pain that he couldn’t keep his eyes open. Ever so many times during the day Farmer Brown’s Boy went to see how he was getting along and was so very gentle and whistled to him so softly that his little heart no longer went plt-a-pat with fear. The next morning the Uttle Bob White felt so much better that he was up bright and early and had made a good breakfast of the wheat by the time Farmer Brown's Boy came down stairs. But It seemed rery queer not to be able to move his wings. He couldn't lift them even the teeniest bit because, you see, Farmer Brown's Boy had bound them to his sides, with strips of cloth so that he couldn't even try to fly. This was so that the broken wing might get well and strong again. Now of course the little Bob White had lived out of doors all his life, and Farmer Brown’s Boy knew that he never could be quite happy kept In the house. So he made a wire pen In the hen-yard and In one end he made the nicest little shelter of pine-boughs un der which the little Bob White could hide. He put a little dish of clean water In the pen and scattered wheat on the ground and then he put the lit tle Ttoh White In there As soon as he was left quite alone the little Bob White ran all about to see what his new home was like. Yon see there was nothing the matter with his legs. ‘‘I can't get out," said he when he had been all around the pen, “but neither can any one get In; and so I am safe, and that Is something to bo thankful for. This two-legged creature Is not at all like the one with the ter rible flrestlck, and I am beginning to like him. I haven’t got to fear Beddy Fox or Old Uan Coyote or Redtail the Hawk. I guess that really I am a lot better off than If I were out on the Green Meadows unable to fly. Perhaps when my wing gets well I will be al lowed to go. I wonder where my fa ther and mother and brothers and sis ters are and If any of them were hurt by that terrible flrestlck.” <® br 3. G. L-loyd.)—WNU Swvlo*. Rea!
