He wound the watch and it kept time. A good fish story, eh? Rabbits' feet have not lost then significance as good luck emblems, says a bulletin of the American Game Association. One commercial rabbitry of Michigan, which during the winter disposses of around 12,000 rabbits every week, sells exactly twice that number of feet to concerns manufacturing good luck charms. And the charms today are not "left hind feet," or even hind feet. Only front feet are used. ago A diamond ring lost eighteen years by Clifford Brightman ot fan River.

We are opt to think, however, that because we are adults we Hre the only ones entitled to these days ana when the children have stormy outbursts we think some thing is seriously wrong with them. "I don't know why Herbert flies Into such a tantrum!" we may say. "What makes him lie on the floor that way and kick? What makes him show such a dreadful disposition? Why he won't even let his own mother come near Mm i" And nrobnblv for his outbursts we find some drastic punishment to cure him. However, we were no doubt fronted In the same way when we were children and has It helped ns any? Do wo And that beeause of punish ments we scream any less with fury against -tha world? I think that In most co sos the punishments prove fa tile, but an understanding contact smoothes ovr ruffled feelings to a peint where we become ashamed ot having them. Just because Herbert Is ours and we mny be thirty-four does not jive ns more reason to have "storms" than he. Things are rarolj the way Her bert would like to bare them. Usually he accepts our decrees without a strug gle, but days of protest, when the scheme of everything Just gets beyond t,i nWnr11n. Will come.
