Far up IN the top OF an old chestnut tree

''Ive been here all day. and so really"
said he,
"of a good meal surely have need
Now, just as he spoke. toward this samo
chestnut tree
A naughty young rooster did amble.
"The teachings Of mother are not good"
"when She said from her not to raubie.
FOR here Is the best kind Of shade to be
had
with choice nuts and all kinds Of pick
ings.
I think she's real mean. for she ought to
be glad
That we are such nice little chickens"
These words hardly said. he felt his young
head
Firmly seized. as IL squeezed in wise.
And still more surprising. he felt himself
Though he thought 1t was not a bit nice.
That hawk. though a sinner, rclished his
dinner,
The meat was so tender and 50 rare.
And as he flew west. calmly brushing his
vest.
was sure that heard him declare:

But when meals so inviting can be had

TOR THE CHILDREN
A Grateful Return.


One day q lady who was riding along
Dne Of the mountainous roads OF Scot
land in a coach saw lad on the road
barefooted and seemingly very foot
sore.
She asked the coachman TO take him
tipand paid the fare for the weary lad.
When the coach reached the end Of is
journey the kind lady found that the
poor lad was bound for Liverpool TO
offer himself as a sailor
Twenty years afterward on the Same
road a sea captain who was ON coach
saw an old lady walking wearily along.
and he made the coachman pull up his
horses. lie put the old lady inside,
saying. II will pay for her"
When they next changed horses the
old lady thanked the captain, For, p"
said she, Il am too poor to pay for a
ride now"
The captain told her that he always
felt for those who had TO walk as she
had been doing and said, Il remember
twenty years ago near this very place
was a poor lad walking along the
road and kind lady paid for me to
ride"
"Ah." said she, 81 am that LADY, But
things have changed, and / am now a
poor woman"
"Well," said the captain, God has
prospered me so that l can live well
and help others besides. l allow you
500 a year as long as you live"
The old lady burst into tears and
gratefully accepted the sailors offer

smile, and other women (who know
better than you do-an awful condi-
ton OF affairsi) may tell you that you
are dressed inappropriately making
you feel like the nightmare when you
went TO King Edwards ball in a ging-
ham pinafore trimmed with red wor-
sted braid. No, the right sort OF man
admires you much more If you look
mediocre in a Tam o Shanter and
cravenet coat on a wet day than IL
you appear in your favorite chiffon
blouse and rose-wreathed hat. He viii
realize you have pretty feet clad in
gray suede shoes in six inches of mud.
but he will think you fool at the
back Of his mind. There are so many
women who have pretty feet, my dear
reader, so many foolsi And bear the
reverse of the picture in mind, do not
overdo short skirts and thick soles:
do not cultivate skin like that OF g

FAT AND LEAN PRESIDENTS.
Since Lineoln's Time All Of the Pres.
idents Have Been HeavyweishtS.

Since Lincoln's Time All Of the Pres
idents Have Been HeavyweishtS.
From the Birmingham Age Herald.
Abraham Lincoln was tall. bony, and
lean almost to the limit. His tasks
were heavy, and he did not grow stout
while ne was President But since his
day we have not had a lean President.
The people seemed to have agreed with
Caesar when he said to Marc An
thony:
Let me have men about me that are
fat:
.Sleek-headed men. and such as sleep
O. nights:
Yond cassius has lean and hungry
look;
He thinks too much; such men are
dangerous.
The recent settlement that Mr.. Roose-
vcirs weight had risen to 220 pountt
recalls the fact that the long line since
the civil war has consisted without a
break OF tat men. This was particu-
larly true OF Mr.. Garfield and Mr..
Cleveland. and the rest were not far
behind them.
Mr.. Roosevelts friends deny that he
weighs 220 pounds, insisting that he
weighs but 196 pounds, which is about
the proper weight for man Of his
height and years. Mr.. Mckinley was
much inclined to stoutness. and 50
was Mr.. Arthur. Gen. Grant and Mr.
Harrison were reasonably fat. as were
Andy Johnson and Mr.. Hayes.
All American Presidents have beer

drink. and many Of them have resorted

Thrift of the French

The French peasant lives on fare that
the weaithier Glasses Of other countries
might enjoy, says an observer. His earn
ings are small. but his wife Is an excel
aent manager. and generally supremeIy
good cook. She evolves dainty dishes out
Of nothing, makes leek or a cabbage.
with few bones. produce soup which Is
delicious. and transforms dried beans or
macaroni with an egg or a vegetable
into putntious and palatable dish. She
prldes herself upon her thrift and it IS
wonderful.
Rags are rarely seen In France, it Is
said, and a tear is considered a disgrace.
The clothes Of the peasants are patched
and darned ian scarcely any OF tho orig
inal is left. but they are never ragged.
The peasant woman would be ashamed to
let her husband or children appear in a
torn garment.

II you are interested In nature study,
as all children should be. you viii find
very interesting as we'll as instructive
lessons in the most ordinary places.
Take the leaf mixer. for example.
Perhaps you have noticed some leaves
on a tree or bush with little gray
stained spots or lines on them. You
can ever distinguish different shaped
stains, sometimes a long soil, like a
snake. These arc serpentine mines. 9th
er leaves viii have a trumpet mine
that is, one shaped very much like a
trumpet, beginning at the small end or
mouthpiece. then getting larger and
curving slightly.
These mines are made by a tiny cat
erpillar that passes some Of its life be-
tween the two skins of a leaf, eating
out a home for itself. 1t starts with
just one little room. but after a hearty
breakfast the house is somewhat lar
ger. Dinner adds another room. and so
on until It is completed. BY that time
the little caterpillar IS very tired. 50 it
goes TO sleep, but wakes up again in a
little while greatly surprised, for it
now has a pair of wings. with which II
flies away. Sometimes the caterpillar
crawls into the earth and takes its nap
there.
The next time you come across a leaf
miners home look at It carefully. for
you may find the little fellow at work.
