at the bottom of the Hootie-

i‘Butwvhen she heard the hippity,

We: him, he fell right down and
r bumped his forehead right where the
fiowningest frown was laying. And
when Charlie Chipmunk jumped up,
the frown stuck right upon his fore-
head. -
‘Chnrlle Chipmunk is always a hap-
» par little fellow, laughing and chatter-
ing all the time. so everyone was very.
very much surprised when Charlie
Chipmunk frowned at Gussie Grey-

Even Gussie Greysquirrel was sur-
prised.“ And Gussie Greysquirrel was
having the very best fun just at that
time, too. ‘
Charlie Chipmunk
frowned. and then. what do you
think? He bit Gussie Greysqnirrel
right on the lice]. ,
Gussie Grey-squirrel squenked very,
very loud. So loud the squeak sound-
ed very much louder than the lovely.

course. it did not hurt Raggedy Ann
as it had hurt Gussic Greysduirrei. but
it made Raggedy Ann feel very sad
to think anyone should become so an-

So Raggedy Amn held Charlie Chip-

wiped the frowningost frown off his

Chipmunk was as happy as he had
ever been.
“You 590'" said Raggedy Ann to

FIRST TO FLY OVER CHANNEL
Jesuit Named Grimaldi is Said to
Have Crossed Historic Strip of
Water in 1751.
Who was the first man to fly across
the‘ English channel in a mechanical
device? We all think that the honor
belongs to Bleriot and be will retain it
until adequate proof to the contrary is
produced.
It is now declared, however. that
this feat was accomplished 150 years
earlier by u Jesuit named Grimnldi.
who in the sunfmer of 1751 new from
Cape Gris Nez to Dover. says Le Petit
Pal-isles, Paris. (Translated for the
Kansas City Star). The story goes that
Grimnldi used an apparatus con-
structed in the form of a black eagle.
which was easily maneuvered at
widely varying levels. .
Serious documents are in existence,
it is said. both in the Gel-game library
in ltaly and in the British museum.
establishing the truth of this. extrao
dlnnry accomplishment. '
Anything is possible. How comes it.
however, that. such utter silence has
reigned since the year 1721 with re~
spect to Father Grimaidl and his ’
marvelous black eagle?
Coffee House ‘und Inn.
The coffee house and the foreign
mail service were both young things
together. When coffee was the new-
est beverage and the London coffee
house tables were the regular rendez‘
vans of those who talked big business
in the days or clipper ships. the for-
eign. mail service to all continents
was just beginning and ship’s mull
pouches hung in every coffee house of,
any importance. , ' ‘
Letters for far ports. for Africa and
those lonely single settlements that
were the outposts of the white man a
century or so ago were generally not
sent through the national postoiiice.
but carried to the cones house to
await the sailing of the first ship.
Matters of marine insurance were
settled“ over a cup of coffee, too. and
talk of crews and cargoes and con-
signments and concessions were heard
'at‘tlze tables. In brief, big business
began over a cup of codes.
Turned the Tables. .- ,
Mr. Max Eutumn gives the follow.
ing classic annecdote in his “the Sense
of Humor" as an example,“ “prac-
tical humor": “Cicero tells ns‘how his ‘
friend Naslca avenged himself upon a
Roman gentleman by the name of En- '
nius. upon whom he paid a call. He,
had been informed‘by the maid that
Ennius was not at home; and when it
came about that Ennius called upon
him. he stuck his head out of the win-
dow and sold. 'I am not at home.‘
‘Viiiiat are .you talking about? said
Ennius. 'Don't I know your voice?
'Wby, you rascal} saldianics. ‘1 be-
lieved your maid when she told me
you were not at home, and you won’t
believe me even when i tell you my-
