How fortunate it is tihat folks _ do not nil think alike; that what ~ one likes another dislikes; that wihere one finds happiness another sn/ust seek it elsewhere. How dread- Iuil it would be if everybody wanted to live in the same kind oi.’ place eat the same kind o! food, do the very same things!

At ‘one place over near the Big River was marsh. lt was a smell marsh but it had everything ac- cording to some of the folks who ‘lived there, but according to other

folks it had nothing. Ql course ,it rwas wet. Marshy land always is wet. rt was wet and boggy. In places the grass grew in hummocks with soft mud between. In places there was water standing several .lnches deep. Cattails grew there ifor they lose wet leet. In other iplaices grew reeds and rushes and rwild rice. for they also are water lovers. And out in the middle was Is pool almost big enough to be called n. small pond, deep enough at one end for pond lilies. Their pads covered the surface. Where the water was less deep other wa- ter plants grew closely, Among the rushes close to the deeper water one o! Jerry Muskratis children and his mate had built a house They had cut. and dug runways and canals this way and that through the marsh.

They too were dressed just alike. They were e trifle smaller than their cousins. in general appearance there was a strong family resemblance. How- over the Qoots had white bills while their cousins had red bills with yellow tips and wore little red horny plates in their foreheads. They had very long slender toes. It was ‘because these gave them such widely spreading feet that they could run aboug on the lily pads and other water plants so that they seemed to be running on the water, Those t/oes didn't look as it’ they would be o much use in swimming, yet Mr. and Mrs. Cackle were quilts at home on and in the wlter.

"Are you stopping long?" asked Billy Coot. Why he is called "silly" nobody knows. It isn't at all fair (10 have s. -person say of someone else that he is "silly as a Coot."

"O! course." replied Mrs. Cont. “And you?" "Of course, too." chuckled Mrs. Cockle. 'I"h'en all four chuckled- "Whom do you think I saw here this morning?" asked Cockle. "Viﬁhosn?" the others wanted to know at once. "Our cousins, the Sora Rails.

THE VITAL QUESTION

Gonceming today's deal, the question is whether South deserved great credit for his nerve, or West great discredit for his stubbor- ness. o

North was correct in doubling I/wo hearts for penalties-he could not hope to make any substantial score offensively, and l! the op- ponen-ts stayed at two hearts or at

v any suit except spades, he could

expect to collect quite a few pionts. It is interesting to observe that South's pruznpt double of East's two-spade rescue had definite rc- yUl ussions on the play that was to yellow. As happens so often under these circumstances, West coulrl not know just how good Eastsspade suit was, nor the exact basis o! Soul-ifs double- and when North proceeded to take out the double (rwhich he could not stand) to two notrump. West got the fixed idea thaLSouth had the spade suit well conrtolled.

‘Thus, West decided to open from his own six-card suit instead of his partner's spades, his idea being to keep the spade ace back o! the declarer to capture his sill!-
