DIFFICULT PROBLEM TO SOLVE
Did Kermit Roosevelt Go Around the
Sting-Cat While Hunting With
Illustrious Parent?
According to the cablegrams, Ker
mit Roosevelt, who was with his fa
ther on his recent African hunting
trip, is a better shot than even his il
lustrious parent. Mr. Roosevelt is
very proud of his son's marksmanship,
and he took pains to give him first
shot at any unusually interesting ob
ject of the chase.
It seems that they were out hunt
ing together one day and saw an ani
mal which they knew at once to be a
specimen of the very rare and much
dreaded sting-cat, called in the native
dialect "dubdig-buzzwuzz."
A peculiarity of this animal is that
it manages to keep hidden behind the
tree trunk or other object it is on,
only showing its eyes, which stick out
so far that they can look around a
corner.
Kermit found that no matter where
he went he couldn't get a good shot
at it. He went round and round the
tree, holding his gun ready to fire, al
ways hoping the dubdig-buzzwuzz
would expose himself, but as Kermit
went round, the animal went round
also,, always keeping behind the tfee.
At last he had to give up shooting at
it at all.
In telling about the Incident in
camp that night, he said: "I. kept
going around the thing, but I could
never get a bead on it."
"No, my son, you didn't go around
it at all," said his father, "for as
you moved, it moved also, and since
you revolved in concentric circles it
cannot be said strictly that -.yOu
went "around* it." =,T
Decide for yourself whether ffer
mit did really go "around" the sting
cat or not. He certainly went around
the tree—but so did the sting-cat the
two, in fact, followed parallel courses
around the tree as a center. But did
Kermit go around the sting-cat?
That's the question.

A Proud Boy.
An Englishman who was traveling
in Turkey last winter to study the peo
ple says that the children have very
little respect for their parents com
pared to their conduct in other coun
tries. On one occasion he was ques
tioning a lad of 12, and after he had
asked him if he could read and write
and had received a negative answer,
the boy brightened up and said:
"You are a man, and I am only a
boy, but I can do one thing you can't."
"Well, what is that?" was-.asked.
"I can swear at my mother ii&Eri^

The Literary
Circle
The President—We have all greatly
enjoyed Sirs. Atwood's "fine paper on
Maeterlinck, and I am certain the dis
cussion of'it will be exceedingly inter
esting. Who will begin?
Mrs: Dunbar—I know this is foreign
to the topic, but do want to ask,
while I think of it, was it you, Mme.
President, who advised the use of
Dummer's food for anaemic children?
The President—I think I did, Mrs.
Dunbar.
Mrs. Dunbar—I just wanted to say
that I had the best luck with it and
wanted to thank you for suggesting it.
My boy weighs 30 pounds now.
Mrs. Allen—Why, my boy isn't as
old as ySurs by six months, and he
weighs positively not less than 32
pounds.
Mrs. Dunbar—But your boy isn't as
lively as my Jamie. My boy is all
motion.
Mrs. Allen—There isn't anyone live
lier than my Georgie.
Mrs. Jones—I never had any luck
with Dummer's food.
Mrs. Little—My Nannie said the
cleverest thing the other day. I wish
I could remember how it went, but it
was something about my spring hat.
It wasn't so much whai she said as
the way she said it.
Mrs. Phillips—I have made remarks
about the ^spring hats myself!
The President—In regard to Maeter
linck—
Mrs. Allen—My little girl calls her
father "Mister." Just that and noth
ing else.' Isn't that bright?
Mrs. Morris—My little girl doesn't
talk at all yet, but she has the most
intelligent expression!
Mrs. Dunbar—We had such a dis
cussion about Jamie's looks only yes
terday. His aunt thinks the upper
part of his face is like mine and his
grandmother declares the lower por
tion is all mine. The truth is that
he looks exactly like me, except for
the mouth. He has his father's
mouth.
Mrs. Lewis—My boys resemble me
and my daughter is the image of her
father. His eyes are so blue that
they are really very becoming to
Adele. Don't you think so, Mrs. Bel
lows?
Mrs. Bellows—Yes, indeed though
I was under the impression that her
eyes were brown.
The President—Ladies, if you—
Mrs. Prescott—I have a small niece
who is really a prodigy. She is only
four and she can play the piano quite
well.
Mrs. Allen—I knew a child who died
doing that. She injured her spine
and fell off the stool all in a heap one
day. It was terrible.
Mrs. Little—I have forbidden mj
Nannie to jump the rope for the same
reason. I heard of a child who died
doing that.
Miss Phillips—My grandmother used
to tell me- that tale, but I never heard
the child's name.
Mrs. Lewis—I forbid Adele to go
roller skating. The jar to the spine
is terribly dangerous.
Mrs. Morris—I don't have to think
of those things yet, but I am worried
about teething. My little girl—
Mrs. Little—This is to be her sec
ond summer, isn't it? You must be
so careful of her until cold weather
comes!
Miss Phillips—If I had a baby I'd
leave out the second summer, even if
I had to choke it. When a child has a
good second summer people shake
their heads and say he is not normal.
Mrs. Allen—Yes, indeed. I forget
the statistics, but more babies die in
the second summer than at any other
time of their lives.
Mrs. Morris—My little one seems
well. She is fat and laughs all the
time.
Mrs. Bellows—Just when you are
thrown oft your guard by seeming
health is the moment when you should
be most careful. Wasn't it terrible
about Mrs. Nay lor?
Mrs. Little—It surely was. She was
boasting one day about how well her
baby was and the next day he had
scarlet lever!
Mrs. Prescott—It was measles.
Mrs. Bellows—Are you quite sure?
Mrs. Little—I know it was scarlet
fever.
Mrs. Prescott—Oh, very well then
It was, of course.
The President—Ladies! /Maeter
linck—
Mrs. Morris—I give my little girl
malted milk and barley water and
Bonehead's food.
Miss Phillips—One of them surely
ought to be fatal.
Mrs. Allen—I'll come over and look
at her tomorrow.
Miss Phillips—As a last resort?
The President—Ladies, the closing
hour has come, so a motion to ad
journ is in order.
Mrs. Dunbar—I move and second
the motion that we adjourn.
Mrs. Allen—This has been the best
meeting we ever had.
Mrs. Little—Hasn't it? Are you
coming my way?
Mrs. Allen—In just a minute. I
want to ask Mrs. Lewis for that paper
pattern-for rompers.
Mrs. Morris—I didn't dream Maeter
linck was so interesting, Mrs. Atwood.
We enjoyed your paper so much.
Mrs. Atwood—No more than I did
the discussion that followed, I am
sure.
Miss Phillips—Goodby, everybody. I
am so glad I came. I feel sp much
wiser since I did. One never knows
how much one will learn at a literary
meeting—or what.
