"THE HAZELHURST NEWS
MRS. MOODY
LAUNCHES
OUT .
© ) AMbyD.J Walshy - T
HE was a slender woman with a
high color and bright dark eyes.
There was a grating sound in
. her volce and she had a nervous
laugh that was quite us apt to sound
in the wrong places as in the right
ones, Her neighbors thought there
was something a little pecullar about
her, but it took them a long time to
find out that she was merely dissatis
fied. ' y
Her husband was much older. than
she, a gentle, kindly man who edrned
very falthfully a very small salary, for
ordinary needs, but it could not be
made to do everything. He was wont
to say: :
“Well, I'm earning more now, Addie,
than I did when my first wife was liv
ing. I don't see why you can't man
age the same as she did.”
He was a twenty-dollar-a-week man,
always had been and always would be.
He simply’ could not earn more, Still
he had saved a little;, He owned his
home and had a trifle in the bank,
which is all that can be expected of a
twenty-dollar-a-week man. ‘
However, he had a wealthy brother,
and one day this brother presented
Mr. Moody with $6,000 properly in
vested. The brother meant it as a
great kindness, but it proved to be a
misfortune. For Mrs. Moody now had
the means she had always coveted in
order te “launch out.”” She called it
that—*“launching out.”
“I'm going to launch out a little on
the proceeds of that legacy, Mr.
Moody,” she said to him,
“Well, my dear,® he conceded. But
he sighed. He had stood behind the
counter at Tuthill’s corner drug store
and smelled linament so long that he
had thought of launching out a little
himself—that is, of taking Addie
where there were pine trees. He had
lived amongst the pines in his boy
hood. ;
But as he had given up to his first
wife so he gave up to his second, and
Addie had her way. She began with
the house.
It was one of those gentle, old,
white houses with a narrow veranda
across the front, a narrow hall, a nar
row stairway. There were four rooms
downstairs and three up. For thirty
years Mr. Moody had slept in the bed
room of the sitting room, but Addie
wanted it new for a “den.” Mrs. Or
low had a “den.” Mrs. Orlow also,
had an open stairway. Then Mrs.
Rich had an archway between her liv
ing room and dining room, and Addie
burned for such an archway. In fact,
she wanted something of every house
she entered, and the result was that
the carpenters were puzzled as to how
to please her.
For a month the house was dusty
with plaster and noisy with the sound
of hammer and saw. But the archway
and open staircase was accomplished.
There were other changes, too. The
old house was fast losing its char
acter.
Then eame paperhanging and paint
ing and Addie rested with the result.
She was happy for the moment. But
there came a day when all she could
think about and talk about was the
new hardwood floors that Mrs. Peple
was having laid in her downstairs
rooms. Yes! She wanted hardwood
floors, and she got them, too. They
were paid for out of Mr. Moody’s sav
ings. Just then Mrs. Morse next door
bought a new dining room set. There
was unfortunately “another just 'like
it at Perry’s,” ang¢ Addie bought it
Mr. Moody began to rub his head
and wonder how it was all to end. He
looked at his fast-diminishing account
with a sigh and rubbed his bald head
still more and almost wished that he,
had not been in such a hury to get
married again. But there was noth
ing to be done save let Addie go her
own gait, b ‘
And did she? Ah, yes! When Mrs.
Mosher bought a blue-and-pink rug
she bought one, too, and when Mrs.
Niles ordered green overstuffed furni
ture she also ordered a set. ¥The old
fashioned furniture was a mockery be
side the new, and was speedily shoved
out of sight. But there could be no
further buying for that year, because
the funds were all used up. : ‘
Tt was a cold winter and the open
rooms were hard to heat. .Mr. Moady
missed his cozy bedroom, his warm
corner. Mrs. Moody shivered in her
‘thin blouses. She had, unfortunately
for such a season, a handsome neck
which must be displayed at all times.
The neighbors giggled and wondered.
They went into the house and came
out smiling. That is, some of"'tl}em
did. Others like Mrs. Niles and Miss
Mosher were troubled of spirit.
“She has ruined the dear old place,”
they said to each other. “It was al
ways so inviting and homey when dear
Edith Moody lived there. This woman
has no taste. She has mixed colors
like a mad creature. And she had
had that darling eggshell secretary
varnished! It is clear desecration.”
Mrs. Moody was beginning to see
that her house was queer and disturb
ing. The colors jangled, there were
drafts everywhere, and the new din
ing room furniture was too nice to
use every day. They ate in the kitchen
and were much cramped for room.
In January she fell ill of a bad cold.
Mr. Moody had to leave his work to
care for her. The neighbors were kind:
as could be. After all, she wasn't to
blame for not knowing more.
But lying there in her bed Addie
Moody did a.great deal of thinking.
‘She was upstairs for one thing, and
she thought how wuch nicer it would
be if she were down In the dear old
tedroom which was so useless as a
den,
“It's horrid, all horrid, What a fdol
I,ain," she thought, over and over. '
her husbangd she sald: “If I never got
well, dear, what will you do with this
dreadful house?" : g A
"“Don't talk so, ‘Addle,” he answered.
She got well, but he was tired out.
He had to have a rest, the doctor uldl
and urged a Southern resort.
“Nothing to go on,” Mr. Moody shook
his head. . :
“We'll find something to go on,” Mrs,
Moody was firm, “If we have to sell
the house.”
“We couldn’t sell the house. No
body would buy such a looking place,”
Mr. Moody said. He added’ sadly, “I
wish we could.”, 5
It was Mrs. Moody who got a buyer.
How she worked to get that buyer!
And how she worked to sell him the
house! They were new mill people,
just establishing a home, suddenly
.affluent, and with no“idéa of values,
They. took the new things—even thé
;blge-an_d-plnk rug. But Mrs. Moody
reserved the old stuff for herself. ;
So they went to Florida for three
happy months, and Mr. Moody grew
rosy and merry again. But Mrs. Moody
continued to be a little subdued.
~ When they came back they bought
the old More house, which had been
built after the same pattern as their
own. It was going for a song, so they
really made a good bargain.
“I suppose,” Miss Mosher said the
first time she called on Mrs. Moody,
“that you are planning to do over this
house.”
Mprs. Moody colored.
“Why, no, I'm not,” she replied.
“Mr. Moody and I both think it is
good enough just as it is.” »
Which proved to Miss Mosher that
Mrs. Moody had learned something
valuable. And this cannot be said of
every experience of life.
Claims That Birds Are
Equipped With Radio
How do migrating birds find their
way? How is the robin able to return
to the identical pear tree it rested in
the year before? How can a humming
bird, no larger than your thumb, steer
a straight course over 500 miles of
rolling water in a single flight across
the Gulf of Mexico? Two hundred
years of patient observation have giv
en new answers to these ancient mys
teries. One of the most startling of
recent suggestions is offered by John
T, Nichols of the American Museum
of Natural History, in Popular Sci
ence Monthly.
Tiny “radio compasses,” located per
haps in the brains of birds, may be
the secret, he believes. “If nature has
endowed birds with some innate elec
tromagnetic quality,” he says, “it
would enable them to set their courses
by magnetism just as aviators can
follow the line of a radio beam prc
jected from a certain point. The hu
man flyer s kept in the lane of the
radio beam by signals caught by his
receiver. Some kind of natural ‘radio
compass’ may do the same thing for
the birds.”
If this theory should prove cerrect,
it would revolutionize our ideas of
bird migration. It would explain why
birds can maintain their aerial courses
through thick and foggy weather, how
the golden plover guides its flight from
Nova Scotia to Venezuela, 2,400 miles
over water and out of sight of land,
and why storms fail to divert birds of
passage from their routes. However,
it would not clear up one puzzle. That
is the mystery of the homing pigeon’s
ability to find .its loft, even if freed
as far ds 1,500 miles’ from home and
regardless of the compass direction of
its flight. : . '
Irish Claim First Smokers
‘That smoking was enjoyed in Ire
land centuries before Sir Walter Ra
leigh plundered Spanish galleons and
spread seed for disputes about coughs,
carloads and candy, is the claim of
Irish students of relics and art. They
show that pipes of bronze and clay
have heen unearthed in very ancient
Irish burial places, and in Kildare a
primitive pipe was found between the
teeth of a human skull more than
1,000 years old. A monument in Cor
cumore abbey, County Clare, erected
to the king of Thomond, who was
killed in battle seven centuries ago,
shows the king lying down with a
short pipe, or “dudeen” of the Irish,
in his mouth. In days before the com
ing of tobacco, dried herbs were
smoked. -
So Sudden
Together they had broken the wish:
bone, and she: held the longest piece.
J“Now, what shall 1 wish for?” she
mused. “Really, I can’t think.”
“Oh, wish for anything,” he sug:
gested brilliantly.
But still her brows wore a puckered
frown. ) :
“Oh, well, it it’s as hard as all :that
I'll wish for youn,” he said obiigingly.
“Oh, John,” she cried happily, “you
really wish for me, dear? Then you
can have me! This is so sudden!”

England Long Barred Jews
All Jews, some 16,000, were expelled
from England in 1200, during the
reign of Edward L Although Jews
gradually went back to England dur
ing the centuries following, they were
barred from all political offices of im
portance. It was not until 1858 that
they were emancipated from political
disabilities. In that year the house
of commons passed a resolution en
abling Jews to sit in parliament,

Castoria is a comfort when Baby is
fretful.. No sooner taken than the little
one is at ease, If restless, a few drops
soon bring contentment. No harm done,
for Castoria is a baby remedy, meant
for babies. Perfectly safe to give the
youngest infant; you have the doctors’
word for that! It is a vegetable pro
duct ‘and ,you could use it every day.
But it's in an emergency that Castoria
means most, Some night when consti
pation must be relieved—or colic pains
—or other suffering. Never be without
it ; some mothers keep an extra bottle,
unopened, to make sure there will al
ways be Castoria in the house. It is
effective for older children, too; read
the book that comes with it.

Must Move Whole City
to Reach Herculaneum
What to do with the city of Resina,
the heart of which is exactly over the
dead heart of Herculaneum, is the
problem that is bothering the excava
tors of the ancient city. The excava
tions, under the direction of Professor
Ventimiglia,” have reached a point
where the present inhabitants are in
the way.
Fully 15.000 people are on the site
of the city that was overwhelmed by
the great Vesuvius eruption nearly
2,000 years ago. New homes mugt be
found for them, property owners must
be compensated, and churches, cases
and tenements must be carted piece
meal away.
Already Professor Ventimiglia is
having houses at the edge of the city
removed, one at a time, but the prob
lem of the disposition of the heart of
the city is still to be solved.

Machetes, heavy knives which orig

used in South America for virtually
every conceivable cutting purpose, are
most popular in Brazil when of Amer

monthly and hardware dealers stock
sharp, clean machetes imported from
the United States.
