THE HAPPY SPIDER By Farmer Smith "Swing high, swing low, High bee, high ho Never despair, Just svvlnc in the air It's all In a spider's life " "Won't jou PLEASE make a. little less noise?" asked Mister Elephint ns he looked up to see who was making such a racket "Oh, it's you, Is It. Mrs Spider? I dldn t know you could bo so disagreeable " "Disagreeable' I'm not disagreeable I was singing, not making a noise nu have no car for music " Mrs Spider simply had to laugh If there was ono thing Mister Elephant could not sta'ail. It was being laughed at. so he took a good look at his eai, flapped it once or twice and tild "What's the matter with my ear' I reallj can't seo why I, the king of beasts, should be worried by a SPIDER " nh. ho' The very Idea' I he Lion Is the king of beasts Every kind of king has a Jester, fo YOU must bo tho Lion's Jester." Mrs Spider went on vv ith her spin ning, singing tho while, "Swing high, swing low " "Dear mel Didn't I ask you to cease?" whlhed Mister Elephant "Cease? You must never ask a spider to cease. Through all the ages, since time be gan, a spider has been tho model of patience and palntstaklng work. 1 nlmply CAN'T stop, even If I wanted to. Don't be dis couraged; you might learn something, even from a spider." .... "It's very kind of ou to want to teach me," said Mister Elephant, swaying hla huge body to nnd fro. "What may I learn from you?" "As I learn from the tiniest things, so you, too, may learn from me I learn from the ant to bo industrious, From you, to be cross and fault-finding " 'That will be enough about me," Inter rupted the big fellow Mrs. opiuer weiu npi "u. uo you know that a man was once so discouraged that he was ready to stop his work stop everything and as he lay on hla bed ho saw my great-great-grandfather, or soma other spider, trying to swing to and fro nnd patch up Its web, and finally the spider DID make a successful swing and DID natch the web, and the man was so en couraged by this little tiny act that he, too, kept on trying and finally conquered ?" "I don't knpw of anything 1 want to con quer." replied Mister Elephant. "Ah, my dear sir! Yop may not have a web to weave and you may not have an army to command; but there Is always something In this world to conquer bad habits, for Instance." "Haven't any," Mr. Elephant replied, curtly. "Then start In to conquer your terrific temper," suggested Mrs. Spider. "Well, that's growing better," said Mis ter Elephant, "If you can'l think of anything else to conquer, conquer YOURSELF." replied Mrs. Spider softly.

At tho end of tho third hour wo began to enter tho great forest w:dch I had seen when first we looked down on Kendah land. It was .filled w th fP endld trees, most of them qulto s'range to me, but perhaps be cause of the denseness'of t'aelr overshad owing crowns there was comparatively no undergrowth. The general effect of tho place was very gloomy, since little light could pass through the Interlacing foliage of tho tops of those mighty trees. Toward evening we came to a clearing In this forest, It may have been four or five miles In diameter, but whether It were nat ural or artificial I am not sure. I think, however, that It was probably the former for two reasons, the hollow nature of the ground, which lay ai good many feet lower than the surrounding foreit, and the won derful fertility ot the spll, which suggested that It had once been deposited upon an old lake bottom.
