How Philip Made the Fuss.

Grace, Lucy and Philip Carter were three
children who were the pride of Mr.. Carriers
heart. Grace the Oldest. was ten, Lucy was
next at the age Of seven. and Philip, the
youngest, the pet and the noisiest Of the
whole house, was five. though he did not
like Grace to call him baby when he was
noisy.
Grace had gone out to feed the chickens.
when Nimble the cat. ran up tree in order
to get out Of the reach of a strange dog,
which really was a very strange one, that
was chasing her, but afterwards proved
only to be Philip in a bear skin rug.
When all was quiet Grace finished feed
ing her chickens and came in the house
with a bright smile. which Lucy noticed
right away. She had lust asked Grace
what she was smiling. about. when Philip
was heard crying in the next room. AS soon
as Grace heard him1she. forgot what Lucy
had asked her and went like flash to
comfort her little brother. She found him
sebbing, with one arm around Nimble and
the other under his head, When he heard
her he said between his sobs. "Oh, Grace!
when I was playing dog, stepped on MINI
ble's foot. and now she cannot play with

at the same time. - She led him where
Lucy was, and they all three went
to see what had made Grace so happy
that morning They soon eame to a chicken
coop, where twelve Yittle black and white
chickens were running inland out They SO
amused Philip that he SOON forgot his
troubles and like a; ibow,was as merry and
noisy as ever. The lunch bell rang and the
children who were very hungry, willingly
went in. Now must tell you that this was
the day before Lucys birthday. She was
very happy today, because she knew to-
morrow she would be eight years old.
AS soon as the children were through
lunch, they went out to little place: UNDER
an apple tree, that they called their play
house. There they romped until they were
tired then Grace said she would tell them
a story of three little pigs. When the story
was told it was time for them to go In and
get ready for dinner. After dinner was
over Grace read stories to them until 1t
was time for them all to go to sleepy-eye
town. So there will leave the three carter
children, the cat, dog, chickens and all.

AT REHOBOTH.


This summer we spent our vacation at Re
hoboth. Del. We had fine time and en-
joyed it very much We went in bathing
every day but one and sometimes twice a
day. The breakers came in all the time
about four or five feet high. OF course. be-
ing on the ocean. there were fishermen and
often we would haul in or help to haul in
the net, and that was great fun for me.
They tried to catch spots but they got
everything in their nets. sharks, lots Of
crabs and blue fish. We found lots Of
beautiful shells, which We picked up going
to the life-saving station. That was about
a mile and a quarter up the beach. The day
we went there we were Just in time to see
the drill.
suppose lots of you have seen it, but I
will tell you what l saw. When they
brought the little carriage out and got 1t
placed on the sand some men began to dig
hole. Then some more men took little
brass cannon out and set it on the sand. In
front of them they have a pole with two
cross pieces on it. This represents the ship
whose people they are going to save. In the
cannon they put steel weight which has
rope tied the end and they shoot this
over one of the cross poles. Then man
runs up there and with the little rope he
pulls in great big rope and makes 1t fast
to the mast. After all this they send out
the breeches buoy. And two little girls get
in it and ride down. After the drill the man
showed US all about everything. He show
ed us a great big life boat and what they
call the life car. 1t is a boat all padded
inside and will hold five people They put
the people in this. 1t turns over, but won
get wet inside because it has hatch on
top. The last person in shuts up the hatch
and they come to land safely in that. They
have almost endless rope there. They have
roll after roll and coil after coil of 1t.
He showed us a block there that when
everybody gets to shore they haul TINS
block up with two knives In 1t ana when
they get it up there they pull the rope and
it cuts off just the rope around the mast, so
they lose very little.
When they get through all the drill they
begin to coil all the rope up again and
shine the cannon up nice and bright Then
they put everything back just as 1T was be-
fore the drill began. After We had seen
them all we started for our cottage again
When we got near the house we saw a
little crowd. 1t was all about snake tnat
they saw under the board walk.
Once while we Were there we had ter
rible windstorm. We saw little sign OF IT
in the evening. Lightning began and by i:3O
in the evening it Numbered and lightninged
and the sea was real rough and choppy ana
the breakers were very big and high About
~ o'clock the storm began. Our cottage
just rocked like cradle dlo not even
awake during 1t all.
The next morning the ocean was very
rough and very choppy. ~,
One morning we found the beach like
bank lust as If some men had gone along
with axes and chopped 1t down. but by the
time we left for home the bank was almost
washed away.

THE AMERICAN BITTERN.
From Our Animal Friends.

From Our Animal Friends,
first started him out of a close tangie Of
alders and cat-tails, and I don't know
which one of us was the more frightened,
he or I. However. he voiced his timidity
or anger in a series of discordant "haurk-
haurk's,' as he went fioundering ungrace-
fully through the undergrowths, with long
legs that looked like dangling fish lines
trailing behind him, and l wondered II he
did not sometimes get them tangled up
among the wiry vines and willow groWthS
of his swampy habitat.
However. unlike him, 1 was silent in my
surprise, but gave chase as rapidly as my
own limited powers of locomotion would
permit and saw him alight upon a bit OF
pebbly beach at the turn of the slow-f1ow-
ing creek. Here (being a SLY fellow he at
once assumed a protective" attitude, by
standing so stiff and still that he resembled
a tall stalk of dead cat-tail. l hid behind
a group of willows and prepared to take
observations, and so learned that had by
chance run down one Of our solitary Ameri-
can Btterns, a dweller of lonely marshes
and swamp lands. A handsome fellow he
was, too, for all he stood so stiff and silent
ION guard" but the sun glints In his bright
eyes would in any case have discovered him
to an interested bird lover. He evidently
saw me plainly, and followed my every
movement with an almost impercepuble
turn of the head, keeping his sharp Dill
pointed directly at me. l endeavored to
move about as little as possible, because l
was anxious to make notes for future use.
having learned that evidence secured "on
the spot is about the only Information TO
be depended upon. and also that the un-
aided memory is apt to play one sad tricks
The Bittern's general color is the brown
of the dead cat-tail stalk, with here and
there a touch of the darker shade of a dead
branch. He stands about two feet high in
his olive-colored stockings" and his point
ed head is covered with soft. slaty-brown
feathers which are full almost to crest. His
long, graceful neck is buff, coarsely streak
ed with brown, and down the center or
front Is line Of blacklist streaks which
provide him with the protective markings
of dead stalk of cat-tail There is also a
patch of glossy black feathers on the side
of the neck, but his under parts are rich
buff and he has no tail worth mentioning
His eyes are particularly conspicuous for
their yellow brightness. Unlike that IA
miliar bird of Tennyson's he waits until au-
tumn before he takes on a richer GRIM
son." or rather a reddish-brown tone. and
at the same time all his feathers deepen
somewhat in color.
However. if the importation of the feath-

Dear Aunt Dorothy:
AS / was very much pleased to see my
letter and picture in The Saturday Evening
Star about three weeks ago. 1 thought
would try and send another picture of a
bird. which 1 saw in the country, with a
piece Of stale bread In his mouth and an
other bird flew from the tree and was trying
to take the bread away from him. After a
few minutes the bird that had the piece of
bread first let it fall and flew away, leaving
the second in possession of the bread. This,
l think, showed very unselfish act on the
part Of the second bird. l hope this will
be printed in The Star pretty soon. I am
real sorry to hear that you are Ill, but hope
you Will be all right soon. Whenever you
need the money for the Indian fund, 1 will
send 1t to you. VIII close with love from
