the mobs must be put down and the

Moslem tribes who are only awaiting
sufficient numerical strength to rush

the Tortoise" which teaches that per-
severance is sometimes better than
swiftness.
In size, tortoises vary from the great
tropical ones which sometimes weigh
a thousand pounds and can easily carry
a man on their back, to the tiny ones
not larger than half a dollar, which are
sold in the animal shops.
Some kinds are much valued for food.
The large green turtle, which comes
from the West Indies, makes delicious
soup, while the terrapin, which lives
in salt marshes, is looked upon as one
of the greatest delicacies. The eggs OF
many kinds are also eaten, and are
said to be good. They have a tough
soft she'll like leather
Turtles live to great age, 100 years
or more, and, what is more singular.
can go for a great while without food,
and still do not seem to lose in weight.
once kept a terrapin in a green
house for many months, and never
could find out that he ate anything,
although he was offered every suitable
food. He seemed well and happy, and
as lively as turtles usually are, but
one day, the door being left open, he
wandered away and got lost, and we
never found him.
The shells of some of the large spe-
combs and ornaments. A fine piece of
tortoise shell is very beautiful and
quite valuable.
The way the large ones are caught is
most exciting. They sleep on the sur
face of the sea. and the fishermen sail
around looking for them. When one
is sighted a man slips overheard and
quietly gets on the turtles back. This
wakes up Mr.. Turtle, and he pokes his
head to see what is the matter. I'M
mediately his rider slips a rope around
his neck and by means of this guides
him to the boat, where he is hauled
aboard. In this case it is the tortoise,
not the hare. that is caught mapping.
A still more curious way of catching
turtles is practiced in the Mediter-
ranean. There the fishermen use a
fish called a remora, or sucking fish,
which is furnished with a sort Of disk
or valve by means of which it can at
tach itself to any object so firmly it Is
hard to detach it.
These fish are kept alive in a tub of
water and have ring put around their
bodies just above the tail. When a
turtle is sighted a light cord is attached
to this ring and the remora is thrown
as near the turtle as possible. It usu-
ally attaches itself to the turtle so
firmly that the two together are easily
hauled to the boat. When out of the
water the fish soon has to let go. How
is that for fishing?

to be all bundled up in such things,
and as he sat under a tree, looking un-
like dog or doll, he felt very miser-
able indeed.
'If I ever get out of these duds I'll
run away" vowed Fluffy mentally.
"I've stood as much as ever I can. I'm
only a dog, after all, and no one ever
asks my pleasure in matters pertaining
to myself. Now, if Daisy Dean had
to be bundled up in togs like this, so
that she could not run and romp in
natural way, I'm sure she'd be most
unhappy"
"Try running away, little fellow"
spoke a voice to Fluffy. And Fluffy
pricked up his ears to listen. Where did
the voice come from, anyway. All, 1t
was a fairy, that was what it was!
Fluffy knew all about fairies, for Daisy
had read from a fairy box to him many
times, and he knew that fairies were
awlays good to those in trouble, but
he had never suspected that one would
heed the tale of mere dog. "Yes, try
running away" said the voice again.
All, this time Fluffy knew that the
fairy spoke to him. And she advised
the very thing he had thought of doing
lin fact, had vowed to himself to do
as soon as free in limb once more.
After very long, long time Daisy
look the QOlIS s CLOTHES OH pour fiuilyb
and the little fellow frisked about, hap
py in his freedom. But while enjoying
this delight Daisy decided to tie him
up in a big old box and play he was
Gagged bear. Two of Daisy's friends,
Aggie and Jean Turner, had come to
play with her and had suggested that
they play at having a menagerie by
putting the old Tabby cat in one box
and Fluffy in another. Fluffy discov-
cred their intention when he saw them
trying to confipe old Tabby in a soap
box. In vain did they try to imprison
Tabby. She would scratch and bite
and run away from her would-be cap
tors. Once while the three children
were pursuing Tabby down the alley.
the voice came to Fluffy again and
said: Now is your time, little dog, to
make your escape. Go down the road,
turn to your right and travel a long
distance. When you come to cottage
set among the trees you'll know there
is a good home for you, for there is only
a dear old lady and a good old man
living there. Their children are scat
tered about the earth, and the aged
couple will be glad of a little waif to
take into their home and to cherish"
Fluffy did not wait for further advice.
but ran off as fast as he could. He was
far, far away when the children began
looking for him half an hour later, haV-

''Howdy-do my good people. Won't
you come and let me in. l am very
tired, for have come long way"
The old lady, being awake, first heard
Fluffys bark. Then the old gentleman
heard it and reused from his after
noon nap. "Ah," he said, 81 do believe
heard a dog barking"
Eyes, and there he is at the gate-a
fine white fellow, as pretty a little dog
as one would wish to see. He must
have been dropped on the roadside by
some one who owned more puppies than
they wanted. Go and let the little walf
in, James," And the old lady put
aside her knitting as she spoke to her
husband.
The old gentleman went to the gate
and admitted Fluffy, and to say that
both he and the old lady were pleased
and amused by the friendly behavior of
the four-legged newcomer would ex-
press it mildly. Fluffy simply walked
in to the yard, tail wagging as though
he owned the place. He looked about
him as if passing criticism on this spot
and that. But altogether he seemed 60
enjoy his new-found home immensely
and to quite approve of the dear old
couple.
AS soon as Fluffy approached the
porch the old lady took him in her
arms, fondling him. What little
dear" she said. Ito be thrown out into
the world. Well, my pet, you have
struck the right place, for you shall
wander no farther. Here is the place
for you. James," she went on, turning
to the old gentleman, have Jane fetch
a saucer of fresh milk from the spring
house. Puppy must be dreadfully hun
CRY. And have her put in a few bits
of cold chicken, for doggies love
chicken"
Pretty soon Fluffy was tapping milk
and eating bits of delicate chicken,
relshing both. And as he ate he
wapped and wagged his tail ceaseless-
ly, for he was so happy.
What shall we call him. James?''
asked the dear old lady. He must
have a name"
Lets call him"-and the old man
stopped to ruminate about in his mind
for a name-'let's call him Lucky, for
he is certainly in luck to find this place
and we are in luck to have such fine
little watchdog. Won't he make the
tramps fly, thought" And both the old
people laughed And Fluffy laughed,
too, for now he had home where he
would be treated as an equal and not
as a plaything, to be dressed up in
dolls clothes or imprisoned in an old
packing box to represent a bear. All,
how happy he would be!

ON PELICAN ISLAND

Pelican island, situated in Indian
river, southeast of Sebastian, Florida,
about twenty miles north of Fort
Pierce, is one of only three pelican
breeding grounds in the United States,
and it also has the distinction of be-
ing the largest of the three. There
Is one small island near Tampa and
another on the coast of Texas, and all
the pelicanS that inhabit the waters
of the United States are hatched on
one or the other of these three islands.
The island is in charge of Paul
Kroegel of Sebastian, the special COM
missioner of the government and of the
National Audubon society to look after
the birds and protect them from
slaughter by thoughtless hunters and
boys.
These birds have inhabited this ISL
and ever since this country was first
explored by the white men who found
them there at that time, but upon the
advent of the tourist into Florida and
down the Indian river a tremendous
slaughter took place, and had it not
been that the Audubon society per-
suaded the national government to eX-
tend protection they would have been
exterminated. says the Florida East
Coast Homeseeker. Now that the ISL
and has been placed under the care of
Mr. Kroegel they have increased rap
idly and every year from several thou
sand nests the young pelicans swim
away from the island on their maiden
voyage.
The habitation of this island by
these birds has killed every vestige of
vegetation except a loose coarse grass
from which the nests are formed.
The pelican is a very large water
fowl, larger than a swan and remark
able for its enormous bill, at the lower
edge of which is attached a pouch of
a capacity of many gu; It's. In obtain
ing its food the pelican circles around
over the water, and, espying a fish be-
meath the surface, it makes a rapid,
clumsy dive, and on catching it's prey
it lazily floats on the water with the
fish jumping about in the pouch be-
meath its bill. The bird elevates its
head in the air, dexterously turns the
fish about with its head downward,
when it is seen to disappear down the
long neck of the pelican, giving the
appearance of swallowing plate.
The action of the pelican in fight
and in securing its prey is very in
teresting, and they are always eagerly
watched by the travellers, and form one
sof the interesting features of trip
on the Indian river.
