JIMMY SKUNK’S SPELL
ONE night when Mr. Fox and Mr.
Coon and Peter Rabbit were go
ing through the woods on their way
to the farm where they intended to
got something nice for their break
fast they met Jimmy Skunk.
Now Mr. Fox, and ids companions
also, were very young and they knew
nothing about Jimmy Skunk's pe
culiar trick of fighting those who an
noyed him.
Jimmy was sauntering slowly along
as If he were not at all afraid of any
thing or anybody. “Hello, Jimmy,’’

“Can’t You Help Us, Jimmy?”
Aeked Peter Rabbit.
called Mr. Fox. “I suppose If Mr.
Dog happened along you would not
change your gait.”
"Not I,” replied Jimmy, “I never
hurry for any one, not even Mr. Dog."
“I guess, though, Mr. Man with a
gun would hurry yon a little," said
Mr. Coon.
“Can’t you help us, Jimmy?” asked
Peter Rabbit.
Jimmy Skunk scratched his head
and squinted his eyes. He was think
ing, for he had more than once heard
Mr. Fox making fun of the lazy man
ner in which he went about and he
knew very well that Mr. Fox must
be Ignorant of his weapon of defense.
“Well. I might help you If you want
to take a chance," he said at last.
“Whai do you mean by tak|ng a
k*hance?" Inquired Mr. Fox, who was

very suspicious. "Is there any trap
about your scheme, Jimmy?”
"I mean, my help will last for some
time," said Jimmy, “and you may
wish to get rid of it. You can’t
though, until it wears off."
"Oh, I see,” said Mr. Fox with a
smile. "You throw over us a spell
which will keep Mr. Dog and Mr. Man
away from us; is that It?”
“Yes, that is it," said Jimmy, glad
to be helped out so well without go
ing Into details.
"Oh well, I'll take a chance on that,
won’t you, Mr. Coon?” said Mr. Fox.
Jimmy Skunk did not really wish
to throw his spell over Peter or Mr.
Coon, but when Peter said he was
willing to risk it Jimmy decided if
he wanted to trot about with such
fellows as Mr. Fox he would have
to take the consequences.
“Now, are you all ready?” he asked
as the three stood in a row with their
eyes closed.
"Ready,” they all called and the
next thing they knew they felt some
thing softly spraying them and then
the most awful odor they ever re
membered smelling filled the air.
When they opened their eyes Jimmy
Skunk was gone, which showed them
he could hurry when he cared to
do so.
It was a long time before the three
met again and when they did Mr. Fox
said: "He told the truth about keep
ing Mr. Dog away, for he started to
come to my house the next day to
drive me out when suddenly he gave
a howl and turned with his tail
dropped and ran for home as if some
thing had hurt , him.”
“Jimmy’s spell may be all right for
keeping Mr. Dog away, but everybody
else keeps away, too,” complained
Mr. Coon. “My wife drove me out of
the house and I had to sleep on the
branch of a tree.”
“My family pushed me out of the
house, too," said Peter Rabbit, “and
I didn't blame them. If I could have
run away from myself I would have
done so. No, I will take a chance on
Mr. Dog getting me rather than have
Jimmy Skunk throw a spell over me
again.”

Nature’s Amends for
Toll Taken by Years
The critics have always stumbled a
little over this final phase of supreme
genius. They used to think that
Michelangelo’s last work was unfin
ished. They still often think that what
we must recognize in such a manifes
tation is lassitude, failure of energy,
a weakening grasp of brain or hand. I
am not sure that there is not an ele
ment of truth in such criticism, ob
serves Havelock Ellis, In the Forum.
Only let us not forget that it is the
mark of high genius, less to display
athletically Titan strength than to be
side to use weakness to reach divine
ends. That power, it may well seem
to us, Is supremely visible in the typi
cal last phase of the highest genius.
The artist has lost his early power erf
realistic grip, and with it lost also his
early taste for such power. But he
has lost It only to attain a wider and
deeper and more symbolic mastery of
the world. He no longer cares more
than he has ever before for its es
sence, and he is conscious of That es
sence with a delicacy of sensitive per
ception he never before possessed. He
is no longer concerned with things;
they are receding from his view. As
he rises qbove the earth, like Elijah in

Doubloon Still Current
The doubloon, that famous coin of
romance, is still in circulation. The
Isabelle doubloon, worth $5, still re
mains current in Cuba. The doubloon
is so called because, when first coined,
it was double the value of a pistole—
that is, it was worth SB. The name
was given later to a double doubloon
current In the West Indies. Pieces of
eight, with which readers of fiction
are familiar, are also in circulation.
They are simply Spanish dollars of
eight reals. A doubloon dated 1787 —
there are said to be only six of that
date in existence—sold not long ago
for $6,200.

Oldest Almanac
In the British museum is an al
manac that is 3,000 years old; it is
supposed to be the oldest in the
world.
It is written like all other Egyptian
manuscripts, on papyrus, and was
found on the mummy of an Egyptian,
who had treasured. it apparently as
something sacred, for it is of a strong
recgious character. Under the days,
which are written In red ink, there is
a figure followed by three characters,
signifying the probable state of the
weather.
It is not entire, but it was evi
dently torn before its owner died. Be
yond clearly establishing the reign of
Rameses the Great, it contains noth
ing else of any value.
Giovanni Papini, writer of the
“Life of Christ,” declares that he has
found positive proof of the divinity
of Christ. He states that he will
publish his proof in the near future
and that it will convince unbelievers
completely.

After a little dinner party it was
suggested that every woman should
state the gift she coveted most. With
prompt acquiescence each announced
her choice.
Mrs. Johnson wished for exquisite
jewels; Mrs. Williams desired to be
the best-dressed woman in society;
Mrs. Smith preferred to own the
handsomest motor car; while Mrs.
Bimpson craved popularity.
Suddenly a dense man exclaimed:
“Heavens! Don’t any of you care
for beauty?”
o
On an R. F. D. route at Meredith,
New Hampshire, there is an ingenious
traveling mail box that runs on
wires, through the woods, the trees
having been trimmed to allow its
progress from the highway to the
farmhouse. When the carrier places
the mail in the box he gives the wire
a jerk, and a member of the house
hold perched on a stationary bicycle
three-quarters of a mile away, pedals
the machine and draws the box to
its destination.
