The sun was always there, watching over th.eworld, noticed but never ti'luly acknowledged or ap- preciated. Making the usual preparations for his outing, and with pencil and notebook in hand, he left his house, locking the door behind him. The park was always his first stop. Situated beneath two towering oaks 'near a drinking fountain, he made himself comfortable on his 'park bench. While watching the dog walkers, playing children, joggers and pigeon feeders, . he\ frantically made note of all of the faults he found with them.

I the afternoon, the marke was always overflowin with excellent ob servatio\ns ,to be made People bobbed everywhere, . trying t wade through the tur moil. Suddenly above the noise, the crying of a child surfaced. The child emerged from the flow o people. Everyone rushed by him, hesitating only to cast a glance. It was evident that the little boy was lost. He screamed pitifully for his mother. The plight of the child did not. concern the man however. He was busy making careful note of the reaction of the people. 'They haven't the time to help even a , child', he wrote., 'How sad to think that self -concern' should overrule compassion...' He looked up. °The crying had ceased. He watched the boy's mother scoop the child up. As the two floated away amongst the faces, the man closed his notebook decidedly, and left for home. Just as he reached the walkway leading up to his front door, ' he was stopped by a voice behind him saying, "Rather late today aren't you?" Surprised, he reeled to greet the face of a stranger standing before him. Noticing the stranger'snotebook and pencil, he asked ,politely, "I beg your pardon?" The stranger opened his notebook. "You usuajly 'arrive home at 4:30, but you're late today". Startled, the man moved toward the door of his house. The . stranger continued. "I've been watching you for quite w some time now, in the park, the restaurant, and d the market. I- know° what s you write in , your d notebook. In fact the - same things are written s in mine." Angered and puzzled, e the man was lost for a e response. .Instea:d he k snatched the notebook • from the stranger and ✓ began to read it: His face lost its anger as, there d before him, he saw the n same things printed t about himself as he had g ' been observing in others. - For the first time in a • long "while he felt inadequate, inferior. The o stranger's face was not - criticizing or accusing, but .instead wise and knowledgeable. It made him more resentful 'and f defiant. Then the stranger added firmly, "Mirrors are handy objects you know, but only if they are used. A mirror lets us see ourselves as we are, so that before confronting . others, we can make • ourselves presentable. Without mirrors, only others could see us. We could never see our- selves. Yes, mirrors certainly are -useful." The stranger smiled and walked off.•Solemnly, the man watched him go. And for the first time, as he ' looked a:t the scrib- blings in his notebook, he saw his own reflection. CLINTON N.

There was a labor.shortage since most., of the elves were sick in bed from working, gravel running, etc,. -Sant,a looked, around and he soon found some elves sitting in a box playing poker. There was an elf at each corner of the box, and opposite each elf sat three other elves and each elf's hat was placed on the right of another elf. Flow many elves were there in the box before Santa hauled them to the dungeon for flogging? Watch for the answer. +++ A few weeks agog a kangaroo dreamed of eating 13 cats in a circle. One of the cats was white and the object was to eat each 13th cat keeping in .the same direction and leaving the white cat to eat last. To eat each 13th cat, the kangaroo must eat a cat, count the remaining cats in the same direction and eat the 13th cat. If the kangaroo starts at the fifth cat from the white cat (in the direc,t,ion which the kangaroo counts), then the eating can continue until there is only the white 'cat left. Of course, kangaroos never eat cats, but it was just a dream.
