Whatever the rea son, Danny unexpectedly appeared one morning on the bank of the Smiling Pool. The very first person he saw was Grandfather Frog, sitting on his big, green lily pad. "Good morn ing, Grandfather Frog," squeaked Danny. Grandfather Frog turned about in a funny little hop of startled surprise and blinked his great, gog gly eyes at Danny Meadow Mouse. "Chugarum," said he in a deep gruff voice. "What are you doing over here, Danny Meadow Mouse?" "Nothing In particular," replied Danny. "People who are doing nothing in particular are very likely to get into trouble. Don't you know that* Danny Meadow Mouse?" demanded Grandfather Frog. "Oh, 1 guess I can keep out of trouble around here. You're looking very fine. Grandfather Frog, You don't look a day older than when I last saw you." "I don't feel a day older," replied Grandfather Frog, and his voice was not quite so gruff. You see, it rather tickled* him to be told that he looked no older. "Of course I'm glad to' see you, Danny," he con tinued, "but Just the same I think you are taking chances in coming This Ought to Sink Him * Wt 1 (?) moj 3 m IPI i i i ' ' here. conies over here almost every day, and I have an idea that he would just as soon and perhaps a little rather, have a fat Meadow Mouse for his dinner than an old frog like Longlegs the Blue Heron me.' "I believe you're not glq,d to see me at all," declared Danny. "Yon are trying to scare me." "No such thing," replied Grandfa ther Frog gruffly. "But I never like to see anybody take unnecessary risks. You know, I believe in safety first. Now what would you do if Reddy Fox should suddenly appear right behind you? You would be in sucli a tight place. There isn't a thing you could hide under, and hiding in the grass wouldn't do you a bit of good, for that keen nose of Reddy's would soon find yon." "Reddy Isn't here, so what's the good of borrowing trouble?" squeaked Danny. "It's time enough to worry when there is something to worry about. Did you ever know a finer day, Grandfather Frog?" ©, T.

Daw dling over food or refusing to eat it will need hard work to overcome. It IS far easier to form good habits than to break bad ones. If the child is accustomed to a variety of foods very early, before he begins to form likes and dis likes, he will like and eat every C thing as he grows older.

If not hungry enough to eat the food on the plate he is not hungry enough for dessert. A word of praise, a re ward, often brings the desired re sult.

Life in Crowded City Leads to Individualism Tie effect upon the human race of the cluttering together In huge cities Is not easy to foretell, says a writer In the Montreal Herald. I know, of course, that In the woods where trees crowd together too closely they grow up slender and spindling, to the loss of rugged strength. I suppose It is true that the human race likewise deteriorates when crowded together too closely. But on the other hand there should be advantage. If knowl edge Is power cities should develop power, for knowledge of man by man Is exceedingly possible where men are thrown closely together. Mutual ity ought to grow, the pressure of numbers should weld people together in closer communion. As a matter of fact it does not. People In the back settlements are much more friendly than those in the towns. There Js probably more Ignorance about worth-while things In the city than In the country, certainly as much if not more selfishness. Curi ously enough, the city seems to promote Individualism more than does the country. The city individual lives to himself. He does not know, nor care to know his next door neighbor. He will deal with a mer chant for 20 years without knowing him. He is concerned with the pro motion of his own interests. And that is not good for a person or for his world. Individualism can never 1 better the race very much. Nothing can but co-operation. Country folk are learning that more quickly than townsfolk.

But something should be said for the cakes and wine which were served by Mary Lindley Mur ray In New York one August after noon In 1776. Washington had Just been defeat ed at the Battle of Long Island and, by a masterly maneuver, had led' part of his army safely across the East river. General Putnam's 4,000' Continentals were also retreating but It seemed certain that Sir WÜ Ham Howe's quick movement would' cut them oft. So confident was Howe that when his companion, Governor Tryon, suggested they stop at the home of Robert Murray, a Quaker merchant, whose wife was a Patriot sympa thizer, and banter her about the rout of her "rebel" friends, the British commander willingly agreed, Mrs. Murray and her daughters were charming. They gave Howe and Tryon and Sir Henry Clinton and Lord Cornwallis a warm wel- 1 The wine and cakes the come. women served were excellent. For two hours the British ollleers Iln gered. During those precious two hours, Putnam and his Continentals were swiftly marching. Howe took up the pursuit again, Putnam's 4,000 were safely out of reach. They Joined Washington and the next day helped him fight the Battle of Harlem Heights, the only Revolutionary battle won by the Americans in what Is now New York By the time city.
