WHAT A SPIDER

The wise look twice are they be-

lieve For eyes. alas. sometimes deceive. -Farmer Brown's Boy

Farmer Brown's boy is quite right about that. Yes, sir, he is quite right. A1-ways it is best to look twice and often more than twice before being sure you see what. you seemed in see at first. And it sometimes is wise not to be too sure you see what you think you see, for to someone else it may appear wholly different. In that case only one can be right, but sometimes both can be wrong.

Ever since Tomrmy had come to the Land-of-always-summer where almost everything was new and therefore strange to him - the trees, the flowers. most of the birds. and others of Mother Na- ture's children -- he had been finding out how true this is. When

There was no evidence that the opponents were ”psyching", and thus it. would not have been at all remarkable it North had laid down a Yar-borough. it. is true that North didn't have much, in his lone queen, but it is worth noting that if East had held that heart queen. he prob- ably would have doubled the three- notrump contract - and set it 500 points.

West opened the heart ten. Dum- my's queen was put up. and South started the diamonds, cashing the ace and king. When the nine and ijack fell. South obviously could have gone ahead and cleared the suit. but he didn't. like the number of tricks this would give him. He could win one spade. two hearts and four diamonds. but he could not hope to take more than one club. and so would be down a trick.

Probably in an effort to justify his own bidding. South decided to make a "desperation" play for the contract. He led A low club. West ducked and East won with the ten. On the heart. return. West capti.ir- ed South's king and knocked out the heart. jack. '

Then he saw Yellow-tall again and his bill was as yellow as his tail.

he saw for the fiist. time Yellow- lail the Craipcnclula. cousin of Goldie the Oriole, he had only a short glinips: of a black bird with a. tail of such bright yellow that he is called Yellow-tail by most of the folks living where he does. lie didn't have :1 chance to see more than the black coat and the yellow tall.

"What color is his bill?" Tommy asked.

”Dark." rcplicd one who should have known.

"Black." said another. third said the same thing.

So Tom-my has no doubt that Yellow-tail's bill was black. Then he saw Yellow-tail again and his h:ll was as yellow as his tail. Tommy rubbed his eyes to make suneu There was no doubt. about it, Yellow-tails bill was practical- ly the color of his tail.

What was wrong with the eyes of those other folks? Nothing. Nothing at all. The trouble was in the way in which they had been used. Eyes sometimes are at fault. but usually mistakes in see- inrg are because they are used carelexly. One of the very first and most. important. things most. of Mother Naiiirris children learn is how to use their eyes. to see things as they really are. And it is just as important for boys and girls to learn how to use their eyes that they may see all the interest- ing things about them. and know that what they think they see they really do see; that they may trust their eyes.

"What, are you chuckling ahout'."' What's the jokt-'?" his friend ask- ed Farmer Brown's boy as they made their way home.

"The way in which Talon out- smarted us." replied Tommy. l-le meant the Armadillo they had caught a short time -bofore. "The scamp must have uiiroilcd just enough to see us and when we turned our heads to look at Big Claw the Crab. Taloo saw his chance and made the most. of it to get; away," he continued.

"He was smart." agreed the oth- er. ”I guess he is smarlen than he looks to be."

"He certainly isn't stupid." re- plied Tommy. ”lf he was he wouldn't have lived to grow up- I found out a long time ago that none of Mother Nature's children can be stupid and live to grow up. 1g just can't be done. They have too many enemies. all of them. for

-A little farther on Tommy slop- ped abiuptly and on his face was such a look of mingled belief and disbelief that his friend laughed right out. "Now what do you see?" he asked.

”Lriok!" cried Tommy. pointing up in 9. tree. "Dont you see that Spider up there? I knew you have big Spiders down here. but I never thought I would ever see I Spider that size. Phcw. what a Spider! What are you laughini: at?” p

His friend stopped laughing- ”That, Spider has a shell." said he. trying to keep his face sober.

"He has what?” cried Tommy. staring up in the tree.

"A shell." replied the other.

"Spiders don't. have shells," pro- tuted Tommy.

"That kind does," chuckled hi: friend.
