They Worked Patti's Husband.

Baron CederStrom, the husband
of Adelina Patti, was not up to
the wiles of some of the folks he
met in Pittsburg. The baron is
somewhat fastidious as to the va
rious articles he uses, and his CT
gars are each reputed to cost 4e
cents wholesale The price may be
a cent or two more or less, but the
aroma of the tobacco would indi-
cate that they are somewhat costly

ton among folks who have to de-
pend upon a weekly wage. An in
reviewer who was tackling the
Swedish noblernan discovered from
him that the great songstress hat

NOT even excepting a small and
frigid audience. He passed the
word around, and so when a bunch
Of other callers met the baron they
were all smoking cigaretts. There
was only one way to abate this
nuisance, and so the baron had to
produce his cigar box. He never
suspected he was being worked"

Helpful Robins.
From ..stories of Woods and Fields" by Elizabs
/ V. RrnWn.

From .Stories of Woods and Fields" by Elizabeth
" Brown.
Do you know what robin likes TO eat?
I am afraid you will think he has very
strange taste; but he really thinks grass
hoppers, beetles caterpillars, bugs, spiders,
snails and angleworms the choicest meats
in natures market, and cherries, persim-
mons. cranberries. blueberries bitter dog
wood berries. muEberries and sumach the
finest of fruits.
Just think how he helps the farmer by
eating the insects which destroy his fruit
grain and vegetables
If it were not for robin and our other bird
friends-the bluebirds. catbirds, orioles,
meadow larks, phoebes and pewees-the
army of insects would ruin the crops all
over the country. The farmers do not know
what good friends of theirs the birds are.
Is it not strange that SO many of them
shoot these birds lust because they help
themselves to a few cherries before the wild
fruits are ripe?
1t seems only fair play 10 let the birds
have share of the fruit they protect.
Wise men. who have learned that most
birds like wild fruits ten times as much
as they do the cultivated ones are plantinp
wild fruit-bearing vines and shrubs around
their orchards and gardens especially for
the birds
In this way they save their fruit and win
happy songs from robin and his choir of
sweet song birds.
Now that you know the robin you should
try to make friends with him and with some
other birds. He and the bluebird are very
Sociable; so are the pewee the yireo and
the summer yellow bird They ali like tn
build their nests near your houses
You should know something too of a
man named Audubon. who was a great
not in your own state a bird protection So
ciety named after him.
Robins advice to you Is, join it!

managed to seize Ifebelt. took 1t off his
own body and pushed it toward his cap
