Bedtime ^tory for Children
By THORNTON W. BURGESS
YANK YANK EXPLAINS SOME
THINGS
W HEN Tank Tank the Nuthatch
asked Peter Rabbit If there was
anything else he wanted to know,
Peter was quite ready for him. “Tes,”
he retorted promptly, “I want to know
how It Is that you can walk head first
down the trunk of a tree without los-
ing your balance and tuuibllpg olt."—
Tank Tank chuckled happily. “I
discovered a long time ngo.’V he. re;
plied, “that the people who get on
best In this world are those who make
the most of what they have and waste
no time wishing they had what other
people have. I suppose you have no
ticed that all the Woodpecker family
have stiff tall feathers and use them
to brace themselves when they are
climbing a tree: They have become
so dependent upon them that they
don’t dare move about on the trunk
of a tree without using them. If they
want to come down a tree they have
go back down.
“Now, Old Mother Nature didn’t
give me a stiff tali’ but she gave me a
very good pair of feet with three toes
In front and one behind and when I
was a very little fellow I learned to
make the most of those feet. Each
foot hooks Into the bark. When I come
down a tree I simply twist one foot
around so that the three front claws
of this foot keep me from falling. It
toe has a sharp claw. When I go up a
tree the three front claws on each
M l Should Say Not,” Exclaimed Yank
Yank.
Is Just as easy for me to go down a
tree as to go up and 1 can go right
around the trunk quite as easily and
comfortably." Suiting actjon to the
tvord, Yank Tank ran around the
trunk of the apple tree Just above
Peter’s head. When he reappeared
Peter bad another question ready.
“Do you live altogether on Insects
and worms and grubs and their eggs?”
he asked.
“I should say not," exclaimed Tank
Tank. “I like acorns and beech nuts
and certain kinds of seeds"
“I don’t see bow such a little fellow 1
as you can eat such hard things as
acorns and beech nuts," protested
Peter a little doubtfully.
Tank |Tank laughed right out “Some
time when I see you over In the Green
Forest I’ll show you,” said be. “When
I find a fat beech nut I take It to a lit
tle crack In a tree which will Just hold
it. Then with this stout bill of mine
I crack the shelL~lt' rtftlly ts quite
easy when you know how. Cracking
a nut open that way Is' sometimes
calle<f hatching and that is how
come by the name of Nuthatch."

Probabilities Never Wrong
1 The quotation from Aristotle to the
effect that probabilities are never
.wrong is a translation of the Greek
which Is practically as follows: “In
regard to the confirmation of evidence
and the law of probabilities, when
man has no witnesses he can say that
the decision should be given In ac
cordance with probabilities and that
this is the meaning of the oath ac
cording to the best of one’s Judgment.
For;:. .,. probabilities cannot be bribed
to deceive and neither can they be
convicted of bearing false witness."

A LWAYS I will remember her strong
bauds ,
Poised like white birds on the piano
keys,
Bringing our spirits to enchanted

Winding us 'round with heaven's har
monies.
Not only with her music did she touch
Our hearts with beauty, but her life
was such
That art and character were Joined,
and she
Was music—an Vernal melody.
It Is as If an uncompleted chord
Of music stopped when she sel forth
to find — -
Celestial harmonies as a reward
For all the loveliness she left behind
This world held charms for her . . .
buf how much more
Will she discover on that golden shore,
When she begins that last triumphant
strain
Commemorating her release from pain 1

We are told that net only fingers
bat knives and spoons.were made
before forks. While the use of the
knife dates far back ‘into
It was not until the early
ith century that forks ap-
upon the tables of the nobil
ity of Italy.
The story goes that a woman of
very dainty tastes, the wife of the
doge of Q[enlce, who would not soil
her finger^ with meat but conveyed
bits of food to her mouth with a
golden two-pronged fork of her own
Invention, was responsible for the
first fork known to history.
From Italy forks were then intro
duced Into England by a gentleman,
Thomas Coryate, who had been fa
vorably Impressed by the Italian use
of forks while on a visit to that
country. The English, however, did
not at first take kindly to the Innova
tion, but looked on forks as an af
fectation of superiority. And there
came a saying: “Who would make
hay of his food and pitch It into his
mouth with a fork?" But finally its
very usefulness won for it a per
manent place at the table.
Surely the fork has done a
Ivance the ark
. ... - great
deeMe simplify and adi
of cookery by encouraging the taste
for Solid foods and natural flavors.
It has-also made possible the serving
of delicate slices of meat, and fur
thermore Jt promotes cleanliness at
the table in contrast to the days
when finger bowls were a dire neces
sity. It has also encouraged the use
of finer table linens.
Some of the very first forks were
really works of art The three which
Queen Elizabeth kept as curios were
described as “one of crystal gar
nished with gold and sparks of
garnets—another of coral slightly
garnished with gold—and a third of
gold, garnished with two little ru
bies, two pearl pendants and a
coral"
History tells us that the first forks
to be made in America were made
by John Noyes of Boston, about 170ft.
These forks, which have silver han
dles and steel prongs, are now in
the Boston museum. From these
have evolved the common table forks
which we today consider practically
Indispensable.

custom of hanging paintings on walla?
Tours truly,
ART STUDENT.
Answer: In ttl2 B. C., there ruled
In Egypt n very vain king. He heard
of an artlsljwho could paint his pic
ture on canvas. The king wishing to
leave behind him, his likeness, ordered

It was completed the king did not like
the painting. He sent his soldiers out
to catch the artist but they couldn’t
find him so the king hung the paint
ing.

Fatalities Brought on
by Perfume of Roses
Incredible though It may appear,
the sight or smell of roses has been
the pet aversion of many famous
people. Francis Bacon, besides be
ing affected by an eclipse of the
moon, was Indisposed by the sight of
a rose. One of the ladles-ln-waltlng
to Queen Elizabeth paled at. the
sight of a rose, and Cardinal Don
Henrlque de Cardona was invariably
taken 1U If he entered a room con
taining rosea. Another cardinal,
Ollverius Carassa, had such a horror
of these flowers that he forbade
anyone to Introduce them Into his
palace, while it Is related that a cer
tain Bohemian bishop died, potsened
by the smell of a red rose. Ancient
chroniclers record that the perfume
of roses was fatal to every member

name for paper money, had

exercises of the head and neck, was
revealed recently at New Tork to

specialist In response to a request
from the guild for Information re
garding the system.

the complete routine. The Instruc
tions for the one lllnstrated: “Start
with chewing gum—one or two
sticks. After a few. seconds, begin
the exercise by tossing the head
from side to side. Then open yonr
month as wide as you can. Close it

to chew your gum.”
This exercise Is designed to tone
the muscles of the chin and lower
