THE SAME OLD TRICK!
Unless you're sure of what yo' do, Dani do it. Who nothing does makes no mis- takes.-
Don' rue it. eUnc' Billy Possum. O O 0
That. has been Unc' Billy Pos- sumts rule all his life. He has been in many tight places, has Uno- Billy Possum. more of them than he can remember. He isn't a good dodscr like Peter Rabbit. He isn't a good fighter like Bobby Coon. He isn't a good runner like Roddy Fox. Yet despite all the tight places he has heen in he is still around. And it is just because when not knowing what to do he has done nothing. He can do no. thing better than any one else in all the Green Forest. and doing it has saved his life over and over again.
Down in summer. Farmer Brown's boy stood at the edge of a drainage ditch in a plantation of palm trees, cocon- nut palms. He was looking down at what first glance seemed to him to be the living image of Unc' Billy Possum. or course it couldn't be Unc' Billy because there was no possible way for Unc' Billy to have fatten way down here more than thousand miles from home.

"Dear Mrs. -Culbertson: Please state your opinion or the East-West
bidding in the following deal, which decided a team-of-four match. West dealer. North-South vulnerable. .

"South made the doubled con- tract, even though West ruffed a
could have made five diamonds. Who was at fault-East. for daun- ling four spades. or West. for ac- cepting the double?”
. . .
In this writer's opinion. East was solely responsible for his side's bad score. It is true that West's open- ing bid was light. and with West. freely rebidding over South's one spade. East probably hoped that he would find better defensive values in his partner's hand But all this did not justify East in doubling four spades-mere hopes were not enough. in connection with his own far-fr'om-impressive holding.
West's opening bid and his rehid were quite in order. on his dis- tribution; and as far as Wests defense went. his possessions of three spades to the jack .would have been significant if East's double had been really ioglcall West. void in clubs. had grounds for feeling that his partner had strength in that suit: so. by and large, West's leave-in of the double was beyond criticism.
East should have passed to four spades. and West. undoubtedly would have bid rive diamonds, if only as a sacrifice.

club after East took his spade king. ' "You'll notice that East-West
cousin Manicoe.
-The instant Farmer Brown'sboy saw him he cried. "Possum!" "Manicoe!" cried the friend with
in. Both were right. for this was a member of the Possum family. a
cousin of Unct Billy. but called Manicoe in that part of the Great World.
Cousin Manicoe was caught in a trap that the two boys had set. a trap they had taken care for set so that it would hold but not hurt any one who might step in it. But Cousin Manlcoe looked as it that trap had done more than hurt him. had either killed him or frightened him to death. There he lay with- out a. sign of life. Yes. sir. he lay on the bank looking for all the world as if he had been dead a long time. Farmer Brown's boy chuckled. "He is a Possum all right." said he.
"Does your Unc' Billy up north play dead too?" asked his friend.
”Just the same." replied Tom- my. "Cousin Manicoe hasn't a thing on Unc' Billy when it comes to playing dead. But for one thing I could almost believe that this is Unc' Billy himself."
"What is that one thing?" asked the other.
"His tail." was the prompt reply.
"what. about his tail?" t.he other wanted to know.
"Cousin Manicocis tail is longer than Unc' Billy Possum's tail. Probably he uses it in the same way. Because it is longer it ought to he of even more use. He uses it to hang onto things with,doesn't he?"
"I'll say he does." laughed his friend. "It is a sort of a. fifth hand. He takes hold of things with all four feet. You know he has a regular thumb on each hind foot. So I guess he can hold on to limbs of a tree even better with those hind feet than with his front ones. What shall we do with him now?" 4
He had picked Cousin Manicoe up by the tall. Tommy released the trap. with a finger he gently poked Cousin Manicoe. The latter didn't so much as blink an eye or twitch an car. There was no sign that he was alive. Had you come along just then and looked at him I am sure you would have thought he had been killed.
"I tell you what. Tommy." said his friend. "I'll lay him down and walk off a little way. You keep perfectly still."
So Tommy remained where he was. The other walked off. a little way, put Cousin Manicoe down on the ground. and walked on for a short distance. For a couple of minutes nothing happened. Then very slowly Cousin Manicoe lifted his head and looked after the one walking away. slowly. very, very slowly he began to get to his feet. Tommy moved. Instantly Cousin Manicoe fell back. looking as dead as ever.
"The same old tricks," chuckled Farmer Brown's boy.
