0 NCE upon time certain great
 minister of state wrote to the O mayor of small city that apeeial matters of importance in that district needed his personal attention and told the mayor at what time to expect his arrival
 The city arranged a grand reception for the minister A band of musicians were to play; all the school children were to sing and scatter flowers De- fore him; and the mayor, heading the towns most prominent citizens was to read a resolution of welcome.
 A magnificent coach finally drove up' emblazoned with the minister's coat of-arms. Out of the coach stepped two persons-one a dapper gentleman in 'andid uniform and the other a mild looking old man. who looked of little importance.
 The mayor immediately advanced and shook the hand of him of the fine uniform, and then directed his ora tion of welcome toward him. There upon the mild gentleman stepped for ward, insisting that he was the min- ister and that the other person was his servant.
 The mayor and the rest of the crowd laughed in amusement. The old man must be crazy! So the minister. in disgust, leaped into his carriage and drove away, leaving his fine appear ing valet to receive the homage or the city.

CoCIETY among birds! Yes indeed.
 For only E. short time. it Is true. o but along toward the end of July and the beginning of August is moult- ing time, when. you know. the birds change their feathers. It doesn't take long for the old ones to fall out and the new ones to come in. but when this happens birdie can't fly very well. so he seeks quiet place. and there enjoys himself with his friends.
 These social gatherings are never noisy. for they don't sing during moult- ing time. but can see the old fel- lows giving the youngsters good advice and the mothers in their chirpy gossip.
 Miss Redbreast was such a nice little bird that '-rs. ,bin wished very much to have her as bride for her son, Johnny. Happily. Mrs. Robin had ar ranged a little party. and all the Red breasts were invited.

HOW THE CROWS
 GOT EVEN

0CoMETHING has to be done.'
 said the wisest of the crows,
 o flor not a day passes but Marie captures one of our number, and several have been killed by the heavy trap"
 What the old crow said was true. All were gathered together in the rock cry, the other crows listening in silence to their leader. Marie. a girl of 10. lived close by, and she was always set- ting traps for the foolish crows. as she called them, although the old crow could have told her that little girls are some- times more foolish than crows.
 That day Marie's mother had told her that she could go out fishing with several of her friends. and said she was to be sure to bring back lots of fish. as they were plentiful and easily caught Merrily the party sailed away. Good luck went with them. At the end of the day they had all the fish they could garry. Marie's share was big bas- ketful.
 Bidding the others goodbye, Marie

A jolly good time they were having. Miss. Redbreast and young MT. Robin seemed to like each other very much. Their mothers were delighted.
 Let's take a little walk" said MT Robin.
 Miss Redbreast thought that would be nice so they hopped down under a cool green hedge.
 When they had talked together quite while MT. Robin asked Miss Redbreast If she, didn't think she would like to become Mrs. Robin.
 She dropped her head daintily and chirped. ever so low, that she thought perhaps she would.
 Why naughty Iabby should have been lurking nea. the hedge no one knows. but just as MT. Robin was about to chirrup joyously she made spring for little Miss Redbreast.
 MT Robin say Tabby leap. In mo- ment he had darted straight for her eyes. ---.
 Miss Redbreast got away in safety. but brave Johnny Robin was killed.
 Great was the grief among the Roo- ins and -edbreasts. Needless to say. they went int society no more that year.

ly as he could, but he couldn't keep up. If the string tied to Pierre hadn't brok- en, perhaps he never would have se n the cheeses again. As 1t was. one of them had run against a stone and a big piece was broken out of It.
 Jean cried bitterly. A kind-hearted man was selling glue nearby. however, and he gave the fearful little boy some of it. With this the piece was glued on so that you could hardly notice the crack.
 The man to whom Jean gave this cheese couldn't see very well, and 50 he didn't find the crack at all.
 With only one cheese left. there was still quite long way to go. Just then he saw a man looking at his bicycle. The front wheel of 1t was smashed. Jean asked this man if he couldn't use the cheese in place of the broken wheel Gladly the man took the cheese. Put ting the boy on the bicycle with him. he rode toward his home.
 When the man reached his house, he gave Jean back the cheese and thanked him. As 1t was now raining. Jean used the cheese for an umbrella. He had net far to go and soon gave 1t to a nice, jolly cook. who called him dear lit-

HEOPLE soon began to talk about
 the old woman when she came to live in the little hut just outside the village. When they saw her gath ering herbs by midnight many said she was witch. But she had so many kindly ways about her and cured so many of them of diseases that they came to love her, although this love was still mixed somewhat with fear.
 "Oh. dear. I'm afraid he'll grow up to he a perfect glutton," said Toms mother to the old woman. in despair. The wise cid woman, who had stopped Tor snoT' visit, shook her head as though in deep thought. .,,
 II think he can be cured If you will do exactly as l tell you" said she. "Send him over to his Grandma's to- morrow with a basket of your finest cherries. Do not worry IT ne d2es aIi n1i come home before nightfall. l shau take good care of him and return him safely" ,
 The next afternoon Tom was given q basketful of large, ripe cherries ana 'oIo to take them to Grandma
 He walked along for some tune uhtIl he reached the edge Of the WoooS' through which his path led
 As he began To feel tired he thought he would rest while beneath tree. The longer he sat the hungrier he grew.
 Surely 1t won't matter if l take one cherry." said he. So Tom took one, and then another one. and another, until he had eaten a great many.
 Stninge to say, the number of cher ries seemed to grow no less. Happily be trndged on his way munching cherry after cherry
 The path had always seemed quito plain before, but somehow Tom wan dered from 1t and was soon lost in the woods For a long time he scrambled onUard calling as loud as he could, but after while he grew too tired to go further. Then he lay down and went to AlAAK

As he looked at the four big cheeses Jean lost all hope. For. of course. they were too big to carry more than one at a time, and it would take all afternoon to make four trips.
 But he did not give up so easily. At last he thought of a way. He jabbed a long. round stick through the cen ter of two of the cheeses. Through the other two he placed another stick. Then he fastened the four together. as you see in the picture.
 The dog, Pierre, was tied to the cheeses. and away they rolled, just like the best of wheels.
 He had not gone far before a police man said he must go in the street, as

 little further on Jean stopped Pierre. Then he took off one of the cheeses. carefully plugged up the hole, and carried 1t to the man who lived a few doors away.
 It wasn't hard to make three cheeses roll along as well as four. Soon Jean took another cheese, and, after brush ing 1t off. gave 1t to lady. The lady smiled at him and said: What a fine cheese! But it's much too heavy for you to carry, little boy" Jean felt wicked. but he thought he'd better say that 1t was little heavy.
 There were now only two cheeses left. Pierre, with half of his load gone trot- ted on quickly. Jean ran merrily be- side him. They were getting along fne- ly when doggie saw a cat. Away he darted after her, in company with half a dozen other dogs. Jean ran as swift

started on her way home. Of course, she carried the basket on her head, as every one did In her country.
 Meanwhile, the crows had not been idle. Three of them were keeping watch on her at all times. When one of them saw her leave the boat with the basket on her head he quickly flew to the old leader, who hurriedly called all the crows together.
 Marie trudged gaily along the roadway, thinking how she should surprise her mother. All at once the whole flock of crows flew at her basket. seized the fish and flew away.
 Not a fish was left. Marie walked home. Her mother had a pan all ready to fry the fish. When she learned what had happened Marie was sent to bed without her supper for being so stupid.
 But after that she tried to be friends with the crows, and they never again played such trick upon her.

N THEN the great snake escaped w there was great e.eitemsn. st sss
 on the train. The boa had just arrived on the steamer and tho circus man had placed 1t in the bag gage car in an immense case, from which 1t had got away.
 At last, to their horror. the search CTS found the boa curled snusiy around a fat man. who sat apparently asleep.
 The circus man quickly drew from his pocket a tiny whistle and began to blow a tune. Slowly the snake un- curled itself and the circus man skill fully got 1t Into a bag.
 They thought the snakes victim must surely be dead. but. to their sur- prise. the man opened his eyes upon their approach. and declared that he had never slept better in all his life, although he had been trifie warm.

was thrust poor wretch who struggled and twisted in misery as the sharp stake pierced through his body. Mean while, the sultan smiled in delight.
 One night the sultan had a dream. He dreamed that he had gone to bat tie against his enemies, and that he had been captured by them. He was taken to a deep dungeon where heavy chains were put upon him. Then they hung him up by his thumbs. beat him with lashes. made him walk upon sharp spikes, and almost pulled him apart on a horrible machine. Last of all, they hung him over great cauldron of boil ing oil. Slowly he was lowered until he almost touched the liquid. He yelled in agony-and then awoke.
 Springing from his couch, he shouted:
 Loose the prisoners; there shall be no more torturew The sultan kept his word. and his people, who before had hated him, now loved him devotedly.

 The bell of the telephone rang. Mar Jory, perching Polly on her shoulder, ran to the phone and took down the re- cefver. Then most mischievous idea entered her head. Why not let Polly answer the phone

 Marjory whispered Hello" to Polly: Polly squawked, Hello! hello! hellol' Who's there?" was the next ques-
