CROSSWORD

........L..-... LITTLE BILLY! HANDY TOES

Each one is given what he needs. Who makes best use of it succeeds. -Old "Mother Nature.

.1.

Some folks have one thing and some folks have another that other folks do not have. It is so everywhere among the people of the Green'.!'orest and the Green Meadows .And always that special something is an advantage for the one who has it. Nimbleheeis the Jumping Mouse has a very long slender, tail. Because of this he can outjump all the other little folks anywhere near his size and most of the folks who are much .bigger. His long hind feet enable him to Jump and his long tail keeps his balance in the air.

Timmy the Flying Squirrel has on each side between the front and back legs a wide strip of skin that makes it possible for him to jump from high places and slide down on the air like a glider Paddy the Beaver has a broad, thick, flat tell which he can use as a brace when he sits up to cut a tree. Old Mr. Toad has a long ton- gue that folds over into his throat. it is a very handy tongue, because he can shoot it out to its full length and catch insects without having

Playing for that chance, declar- er cashed only two spade tricks, then ran off the rest of his clubs. discarding a heart from dummy. if East had been an ordinary player, he soon would have found himself "in the lock",-that is, his last four cards would have been two epadesl and the ace-king of hearts. But" East was an expert. and he kept the I-0 of spades and the A-7 of hearts! Now. when South went to dummy's high diamond, East promptly discarded the heart ace South was through!

If East had kept the heart ace, of eourse.he would have been thrown in and forced to lead a

to get close to them.

Little Billy Possum. who was so young and so small it seemed as if he should have some one to look out for him, was out in the Great World all alone. He was the living image of his father. Unc' Billy Possum, only very, very. much smaller. He looked very helpless. but he wasn't as helpless as he looked. You see, like all Possums, he had a handy tall; a tailsuch as none of his neighbors had. He could wrap it around things, and that was a very great advantage.

But Little Billy had more than a handy tail. He had two of the handiest toes you can imagine. They were on his hind feet. They were the first toes, or big toes. and he could use them just as you use your thumbs in picking up things. With most.of'the folks in fur their front feet are more nearly like hands. and often are used like hands. It wasn't so with Little Bil- ly. It isn't so with any of the Pos- sum folks. They use their hind feet like hands. That seems funny but it is so, and it is all on account of those handy toes. ' t d of grabbing things with their paws, they grab them with their hind feet. Little Billy was just as much at home in the trees as he was on the ground and that was partly because of those handy toes. He just wasnlt afraid of falling. He could hang on with his hind feet and his tail, and that was very much like having three hands.

Chatterer the Red Squirrel is, as everybody knows. very much at home in the tree tops He can tra- vel a long way from tree to tree without ever having to come down to the ground. That is be- cause he isn't afraid to jump. when he jumps he catches the branches he is jumping to with all four feet. But he cannot hang on with his hind feet and. let himself down as all Possums can. You see, he hasnt got handy toes on his hind feet. They are good toes. very good toes, but none of them can be used like a thumb. .' and it is a thumb, you know, that nukes your hands so useful. It is with the thumb and fingers that you pick things up. i

Chatterer happened to be in the same tree with Little Billy Pos- sum. Little Billy was hunting. Yes. sir. he was hunting high up in a tree. Chatterer was watching him. He saw Little Billy poke around in a knot hole. A beetle ran out. The Little Possum grabbed it. He He grabbed it with a hind foot.

"Hi, you can't do that," cried Chattterer.

"Why can't Ah do it?" asked the little Possum as he began to eat the little beetle.

As he had already done it, Chat- terer felt rather foolish. "That isn't. what your hind feet are for," declared Chattercr.

Just then another fat beetle ran out of the knot hole and Little Bil- ly grabbed him with the other hind foot.

"That is what mine are fo',” said Little Billy. and ate that beetle. He went far out near the tlp.of a limb. He held on to a twig by both feet and his tail and lowered him- self to get something on a limb be- low him. Chatter-er opened his mouth to say something but closed it without saying anything. Per- haps he wished he had handy toes
