AN AUTUMN DAY

Y.
The autumn air is mild and soft and sweet.
The hills mounted with purple haze:
Against the crimson of the woodland ways
The tawny yellow of the fields of wheat.
Deserted cornstaks with their tassels brown
Complain with quaverng the wanton wind;
The poppies in their beds awake to find
Upon their sleepy heads a frosty crown.
Along the dusty roads Sir Golden Rod
To Black Eyed Susan mods and smiles away;
The nimble squirrel dances the rail
Half hid by sweet wild in pink array;
And now the western sun. globe OF red
Sinks Ger the mountains brim, and ends the day

Sounds That Cannot he Heard,

A stone thrown into the water pro-
duces ripples- In the same way If you
strike something, as a drum, there are
ripples in the air, and the disturbed at
mosphere reaches the ear as a sound.
The slower the ripples or vibrations
the deeper the sound.
The deepest audible sound in mu-
steal instrument is that of the great
thirty-two foot pipe of the organ of st.
Paurs, which gives sixteen vibrations
a second. That is probably the deepest
sound that the human ear can catch.
You listen to it, rolling through the sa-
cred edifice like distant thunder. and a
little thought will enable you TO realize
that there may be sounds inaudible to
you, but which you can feel. The deep
tone pervades your entire being until
you have some doubt whether you real

FOR THE CHILDREN


We had a large dock of geese. and
among them, but not OF them. was a
solemn looking gander that. as Lord
Dundreary says. .'hocked all by him
self" He had evidently been outlawed
by his companions. for none OF them
ever noticed him. and when they were
out grazing he stayed away behind the
flock or wandered off Somewh here alone.
Being thus cut of from his kind and
feeling. no doubt. the need of compan-
ionship of some kind. he made up to
Caesar. our big watchdog. a fierce half
bloodhound. We kept Caesar chained
In his kennel during the day and turn
ed him loose at night. for we lived in
an out of the way place and had him TO
protect US from thieves.
One day we We're much astonished
to see the gander standing by Caesars
kennel like a sentinel. What he was
doing there We did not know, but we
watched him, and when Caesar began
barking at something the gander began
squawking at the top of his lungs. Now,
Caesar did not like this at all. and he
rushed out of his kennel as far as his
chain would let him and bounced on
the gander as if be would tear the poor
fellow TO pieces.
The gander escaped with the loss of
a few feathers, and as soon as Caesar
became quiet he again took his stand
near the kennel. After several unsuc-
cessfui attempts to drive him away
Caesar seemed to understand the situa-
ton. and from that time ON accepted
the friendship that had thus been offer
ed to him.
The gander's devotion to the dog was
really remarkable. He would stand
guard for an hour at a time while Ca-
sar slept, now and then with his bill
scratching Caesars head or his back as
if caressing him. And Caesar seemed
delighted to have him do it. If he wan
dered off occasionally after grass, Ca-
sar would begin barking, when back
would rush the gander, with outspread
wings, cackling and squawking as he
came.
When Caesar was turned loose at
night, the gander would follow him ev-
erywhere. How late he kept this up we
never knew, but we have often heard
cackling and barking intermingled long
after we had gone to bed.
This strange friendship lasted with
out an interruption for three months.
when Caesar was accidentally killed.
The gander then became so grief strick-
friend who lived at a distance in the
hope that change of scene might
make him forget his sorrow.

A Big Cat story.

The following story is told about a
cat, though 1t is somewhat hard to be-
lieve 1t:
A lady owned q favorite cat and an
equally favorite canary. The bird lived
in his mistress bedroom and was al
lowed to fly about at will. One morn
ing the owner of the two pets was sur
prised to see the bird perched fearless
ly on puss. who seemed both pleased
and proud. The lady, seeing that the
cat was as fond of the bird as she was
herself, let both roam about In the
room. On one occasion, however, the
lady had bad fright, as she saw puss,
after giving a slight growl. seize the
bird in her mouth and spring on to the
bed, her tail swelled out, her hair erect
and her eyes as big as four. The own
er Of the canary gave him up at that
moment for lost, but all was made
clear in a moment, when 1t was seen
that there was a strange cat in the
room. 1t was to preserve the bird
that his wise friend had seized him.
Directly the strange cat was driven
away puss set the bird at liberty.
