cent. but he missed it just the same,
and meant TO have it back So he be-
gan to cough very hard

he took long breath the whistle. away
down in his throat, gave long foot
Willie and the other boy laughed 1t
was so funny to be able to blow whis-
tie without trying. SO Willie ran about
footing. until his mother, who hap
pened ont. asked what all the fun was
about. When she learned that he had
swallowed his whistle, she did not seem
to think it SO much fun, for she hurried
him off to the doctor, who thrust Il long
wire down his throat and pulled the
whistle out And now, when Willie

How Butterflies Sleep.

Walking through field some evening
you may notice on the long towering
stalks of grass what look like small
blossoms hanging TO the sprays. Look
ing more closely one sees that they are
butterflies asleep. Thus dozens of these
dainty creatures slumber until sunrise
announces that il is time to awaken.
One cannot but marvel at the in
stinct which guides the frail butterflies
to so safe and comfortable sleeping
place, for should a storm arise the
slender grasses bend in the gale, and
the butterflies are rocked as if in aerial
cradles If the butterflies rested on
shrubs or trees, blow from leaf flap
ping to and fro in the wind might in
lure them very seriously,
1t is also interesting to know that
when they settle down for nap the
butterflies fold their wings tightly to-
gether that the bright colors may not
attract the attention of some hungry
bird with weakness for butterflies for
supper
