A'j had heard stories lifer of places where it I—- •vjjjlp winter The Bay had heard stories "™*. of places wliere it ■ - . was cold in the Where It Was "inter hut in a Warm. quiet, feeble kind of away. The wind, shrieking and whistling and calling and shouting and hell ow ing, had come to the Bay and told of winter in other places. “Hoses and oranges in snrm* parts of the world just now,” the wind hart shrieked as it swirled about, over the Bay. “Horrible thought,” said the Bay, “Horrible thought.” And, as though to make quite cer tain that nothing like that wouid hap pen near tiie Bay, the Bay began to kick up an extra hit of excitement so that someone would lie swept over the deck of a boat and the Bay which bud shot one of Its waves to do this would laugh a wicked, wicked laugh as it received the newcomer. Then, when the man had been rescued again, the Bay would speak to the wind : “I showed it wasn't summer time here.” Aijd the wind would answer: “That Is so. But there are other . places where the snow lies softly on the ground and it is almost warm so quiet and still and soft is the snow." “You don't tell me," the Bay would answer. And then, boastful, powerful, wild old Bay that it was, it would cry out in its shrill, shrill voices: “Blizzards and sleet and snow, hall and rain and mist, what about it, friends?” Tiie snow would swirl about in the air, the rain and the sleet and tiie mist and the hail would play for the right to be leader and tiie blizzard would come along and umpire the storm game and shout above them: “Oil, you aren’t doing so well, snow." Or, “You aren't doing so well, hail." Or, “You aren't doing so well, rain.” Or, “You aren’t doing so well, mist.” “Now Wind, what do you say to this? You can’t toll me that I don’t know what I want. You only have to tell rue of ttiose quiet, quiet winters and I show you that I'm not only pleased with the storms I have hut 1 want them bigger and greater titan ever. “I’m a Bay that is never going to quiet down. Never will I become old and feeblm Living as 1 do where the climate is just to my liking I will star strong and well. Nothing weak about ine. No, Wind, nothing weak about me.” And tiie Bay would live up to its boasting and the Wind would laugh and roar and wail. “Oh, Bay, you’re a caution. You certainly are a caution.” “S-w-o-o-p, s-w-o-o-p, s-w-o-o-p, 000000000 00000o —00000000, I’ve got to go and meet the ocean and do you think I’m going to let tiie ocean think just be cause it is so big that I can’t he as rough? I’ll show that big bully, the ocean, just what 1 can do. S-w-o-o-p, s-w-o-o-p, s-w-o-o-p, 0000000o —oooooo.” And the Bay rode along on the high, high waves, balancing itself ns only the Bay could do, and (he land where the Bay touched stood quietly by and said, as land will say wliere it is near such things: “Well, I wouid like to be doing those things myself. I would hate to go jumping about, bobbing up and down, swirling way up in the air. and rolling hack and forth. But I way, and tiie Bay - does the Bay’s way. T “That’s tiie only ' w ->- thing to do. Let each thing decide for itself. I’m tiie solid earth. Tiie Bay is a hit of 5-- wild water. Where the Snow “But I know Ljes Soft| something about the Bay, I do. When tiie tides go out and the tides come in, and the tides rise higher than anywhere else in the world, strange things happen. There is mud reaching from me far Into the water and the boats have to stay there, stuck in tiie mud, until tiie tide lets them go out again. But the Bay is in teresting with its wild storms In win ter, its fogs that come up quickly and disappear as quickly on sunny summer days.

"When the keeper first put me In the yard with them they tried to push me out of tiie way. “They told me they didn’t want me there, hut they did They really only minded for a little while. “They were jealous-—that was all —jealous of my beautiful young zebu child. “Os course It 111 not nice to be Jealous and I am not making light of if. nor of their unkind ways at first. “But they wore better after awhile and they are quite ail right now." “Tiie keeper.” continued Mrs. Zebu, “knew they were jealous too. “Bui I really couldn’t blame them. That is why I do not feel anything against them now. “I would have been the same way if one of the others had just come in with n beautiful zebu child, only a few months old.” "I believe you’re right,” said Mr j Zebu. “And I’m powerfully glad you are feeling cheerful again. “For when little Zeltby or son Zehu —first came you weren’t Inter ested in anything else in tlie world or tiie zoo.” “True,” agreed Mrs.' Zehu, ‘‘and we’re as interested, we mothers.

It is here i in the zoo that they are so jealous. “Perhaps when they’re free they have so many other tilings to take up their attention.” f “It will be five years before son Zebu has humps and horns like mine," said Mr. Zebu. The Zebus have humps such as camels have. “It will be a year,” continued Mr Zebu, “before there are any signs of I them." Mrs. Zehu looked a little sad. “My hump isn’t as big as yours,” she said. “Cheer up,” said Mr. Zebu, “for I’ve something fine to tell you—something I just thought of telling you.” “What?" asked Mrs. Zehu. "Do you mean that you want to tell me about ns being sacred in a land ; called India? “We are considered sacred animals there I know.” “That I know, too,” said Mr. Zebu 1 “But that Isn’t what I was meaning to tell you. Listen to me,” he said, and Mrs. Zebu drew closer. “There Ls a reason for having many tilings," Mr. Zehu explained. “It is sensible to have two eyes—we see with them. “It is sensible to have horns—they protect us. It is sensible to have a nose for liTbn we know if we like the food which is put before us. “Yes, there are sensible reasons for having all (hose tilings." “Humph,” said Mrs. Zebu, “I tier’* see that you are telling me any tiling I didn’t know before.” “Wait, my dear, wait," said Mr. Zehu, “this is what I have to say: “We have humps, interesting, dis tinguished-looking humps, and there is no reason for having them. “It is Just a fine, handsome, Iraq tiful addition to our cowlike bodies!" And Mrs. Zebu smiled happily as she thought how fine it was to have some thing that was not a necessity!

State Board of He Ith) Last week vve said that the “com mon cold” was caused by an infect on Fo’lowing this it is logical to dis cuss Influenza which in many ways l is hard to differentiate in its mild form from a severe cold. The bacterium which causes Influ enza (the French word is La Grippe) was first isolated in 1832. It is a very small, rod shaped bug and can only he seen by a powerful m sevo •scope after being properly stained. The onset of Influenza is marked by chilliness, flushes of heat and cold, sneezing nasal disch: rge, in tense headache in the forehead and back of the head, often severe rmis eu'ar pains, cold perspiration, cough with expectoration cf a wh'.tt, sh ten acious mucous, chert pains fnd a temper-.turn from 101 to 102. Some times the symptoms are mostly those of a severe stomach disturbance, as with nausea, vomiting and perhaps ' diarrhea. The fever remains tusu- llv for 3 or 4 days then gradually but rather rapidly subsides. In many cases the cough continues for an .ndefimte time and catarrhal pneumonia is a common sequel. Influenza is dan gerous because of the serious com plications which are so likely to oc cur. The predisposing factors are any thing :h i duces debil.ty, such as inusual fat sue or sudden | chilling cf some part of the body, !vc feet, a previous illness and old j age. 1 r e : a no place whe” ■ the old dage “Haste makes waste” is more “rue than in the beginning of Influ enza.
