The proprietors of lunch counters in
London railway stations date their eggs.

to reassure doubling customers. A party
of travlers few weeks ago arrived at

lowing the habit Of most traviers, made at
once for the lunch counter. They de-

A Riddle.
ELLswoRTH, Jan. 4, 1903

.
To the Editor of The American:
Mother Nature is constantly PROFOUND
ing most fascinating little problems for
her children to work out. Usually we are
too busy with the ''shapes OF our bonnets,
the cut Of our capes" to note them, but
there is deal OF pleasure in solving these
riddles.
This summer there were berries, berries
everywhere; seed pods OF weeds full and
overlooking; canes bursting with their
toothsome load for bird and squirrel.
Why such an ususual supply Of food for
the birds this dry and improbable season?
Why such throng OF feathered company
from the North SO early in the fall? As
early as the twenty fourth Of August
large locks Of chickadees, red breasted
nuthatches, golden-crowned knights,
were already making short flights south
ward.

Of bird life poured over my fields and
woodlands until well into November. In

But the weather continued to be IN
usually mild. Then said: II give up

plants and seed pods in the vast northern
region. Even the weeds and berries tina

Something each day-a smile,
It's not much to give:
And the little gifts Of life
Make sweet the days we live.
The world has weary hearts
That we can bless and cheer.
AND the smile for every day
Makes sunshine all the year.
Something each day-a word.
We cannot know its power:
1t grows in fruitfulness
As grows the gentle flower.
What comfort 1t may bring
When all is dark and drcArt
For kind word every day
Makes pleasant all the year.
Something eachsday--a thought,
Unselfsh, good and true,
That aids another's need,
While we our way pursue;
That seeks to tighten hearts,
That leads to pathways clear!
For q helpful thought each day
Makes pleasant all the year.
Something each day-a deed
OF kindness and Of good,
To link in closer bonds
All human brotherhood.
Oh, thus the heavenly will
We all may do while here;
For good deed every day
Makes pleasant all the year.
