OUR LITTLE GRAY HELPER.
Poorly Equipped by Nature, Yet He Does
His Work Well.

Poorly Equipped by Nature, Yet He Doea
His Work Well.
We have a little gray helper who
cannot hear, nor see, nor make any
noise. He wears a little gray coat.
and he lives in tiny caves which he
burrows out for himself. Our little
gray helper has no feet, SO he crawls.
He works busi1y for us all day in the
ground under our feet, coming out
chiefly at night to get his food. Then
he does not take anything which any
one wants, but only fallen leaves and
bits of stuff which no one cares about.
and which are best out of the way.
Although much less fortunate than
we, having neither legs, nor feet, nor
hands, nor eyes, nor ears, he has all
that Is necessary to the performance
of the work he has to do; and since our
little gray helper has all he needs. and
does his work. and does it well, Va
may think of him as being quite con-
tent and happy. And since the work
that he does for us is very necessary
and important work, and since he does
It exceedingly well, we need not re-
gard him with less than respect.
He has a system Of blood vessels,
nervous system, and-yes, brain.
When you come to consider him under
a microscope and in relation to the
work he has to do, he Is quite an inter
esting and exquisite bit Of mechanism.
He uses his brain, and has wisdom to
know what to eat and how to get 1t.
Though he has neither eyes nor hands.
before taking anything into his cave,
he examines It carefully by means OF
his one sense (touch), and with his
little upper lip, which the scientists
call prostomium. This lip is very SEN
sitive.
He is prudent and thrifty, always
dragging into his little house enough
to secure him against the coming day.
TOR blind and deaf as he is, he knows
1t Is not wise to be out in the daytime.
for the birds and their babies like him
entirely too well.
He also knows that, being of
q chilly nature, he will need to be
wrapped up bit when he goes to sleep
In his cave, so he makes his own lit
tie bed of blades of grass and bits OF
leaves which he has dragged in with
the little lip that does so much. He
seems to like fresh air when he can
get it, so he rests with his head near
the mouth of his cave; and Mother Ma
ture, realizing that this might give
Robin Redbreast an unfair advantage
of him, provided him with head
covering darker than the rest of his
coat, and very nearly tho color of
earth.

begins to write down ON the paper all
the names of celebrated people that he
