Singing Lady.

Literary Press.

John Tyndal Seymour. Jr., had been
tucked into his little shining brass bed
at precisely Z o'clock.
Being tucked ill.," however, does not
necessarily shut out the wonder world
of lights and laughter and singing.
John junior had discovered this all by
himself, for often, as tonight, after
calling to his nurse and getting no an
swer, he had crawled out with conf
dence from under his tight covers and
stood by the window watching the
grownups in the houses across the air
shaft
He had just climbed back for the
third time by actual count when the
singing began. John junior loved that
singing more than anything else in the
world.
| He lay very still and fat on his little
back. because he had found out that
if one ear was buried in the pillow he
could not catch all of the notes. espe-
cially the soft, low ones.
He had not been listening very long
when he heard the hall door open and
shut, and then he knew that his father
had gone out. Perhaps he was going
to find the beautiful singing.
John junior wished so hard that he
might go too. He sat up in bed, half
determined to follow. But, then, hear
ing the click of the elevator door, he
knew that it was too late, and so lay
back again with sigh.
Suddenly, right in the middle Of a
note so high and sweet that it made
John junior hold his breath in an &C.
stasy of happiness, the voice stopped.
And for long time it did not go on
again. What had happened? Perhaps

NEW SENSATION FOR DoBBIN
Come TO Think OF II, He Would Have
Felt Funny sitting In the
Position Indicated.

The family horse. who rejoiced in
the eminently proper equine name OF
Dobbin, had earned a rest by long
service, and was accordingly sent
away to the country to spend his de-
clining years in the broad pastures of
a farmer friend OF his owner. The
distance being somewhat excessive
for his rheumatic legs, he was shipped
to his new home by rail
Little Edna, the family four.year-old,
viewed the passing of Dobbin with un-
feigned sorrow. She sat for long
time gazing disconsolately out OF the
window. At last, after deep sigh,
she turned with more cheerful ex.
preston, and said:
did old Dobbin go on the choo-
choo cars, mamma?"
Yes, dear" answered her mother.
A broad grin spread over the little
girls face. Il was just thinking" she
said. how funny he must feel sitting
up on the plush cushions.--Woman

The Courier-Journal tells Of this
embarrassing statement made by a
well-known Louisville woman who Is
known as Saying things without
thinking" Her daughter was enter
tanning a young man on the front
porch and the mother was standing
at the fence talking to the neighbors
next door. In the yard of the latter
was baby a little over year old,
and 1t was trying to walk. "You
shouldn't let It walk so young" ad-
vised the thoughtless matron. Wait
until it's little older let my
daughter walk when she was about
that age. and it made her bowiegged."

getically about the weather.

disclosed lying in the burrow thus
opened. This is the larva of the oak
pruner, which when full grown is q
little more than one-half inch long,
and transforms into a blackish or
brownish beetle of about the same
length.
The life history Of this pest is such,
evidencing apparently maTyelous in
stinct, that it commands our admira-
ton. The female beetle, according to
Fitch, normally lays her eggs in
spring or summer on a green succu-
lent twig in an angle between leaf
twig and leaf stalk. This action af-
fords the young tender food of the
right nature, easily obtained. AS the
larva grows older it works into the

President Taft is fond OF children,

he rose to go, he stopped down and

however, we are led to believe that
such may not always be the case.
Our attention was called by cor
respondent last August to the fact
that many fallen twigs examined con-
tained no worms. Later, in Septem-
ber, we noted this also, and were
not able to find single larva in any
twigs examined, large number being
cut open for examination.
This can hardly be accounted for
by the work of insectivorous birds,
since they would be unable to reach
them in their burrows. In any event
the larva is in it's burrow when the
twig first falls and can then be easi-
ly cared for. We therefore suggest
the following remedy:
Collect and burn all twigs cut off
by this insect as soon as they are
found on the ground liz July or Avg
ust. Do not leave this work until the
following spring.

USING CEMENT
TO SAVE TREES
Former Method Was Never Sue.
cessfuI for Several Reasons.

The former method of working In
failing trees with cement was never
successful for several reasons. One
was that the cement seldom II ever
adhered to the wood, SO the swaying
by wind of the tree very generally
made larger the treated crack be-
tween 1t and the wood
Water penetrated beyond the filing
so the decay increased rather more
rapidly than before attempting a
remedy.
The improved idea is in removing
from the interior all of the rotting
mass. There remains only a living
shell of sapwood and bark. and into
this cavity a steel brace is nicely in.
serted and bolted in place.
The next important step is TO cut
ersheds-preventing any moisture
from entering. There are deep
grooves cut about one inch inside the
edge and opening out to the ground
below. Cement is packed tightly into
grooves, forming a channel down
which the water flows.
The cavity Is afterward wired
throughout thoroughly.
The cement is worked moist, and
built out in the tree shape. ANY bark
that is cut away for an inch or two
in order to prevent bruising as the
filling is in progress will soon cover
the filled spot so passerby can
scarcely detect the wound at all.
In very large cavities the opening
is covered by utilizing large strips of
zinc.
Nature helps in this kind of new
work in trees. for the place soon heals

Burning String In the Slck-Roor.
Months spent in a sick room have

older wood. At this time the worm"
is about half grown.
According to the above writer and
others. this larva needs moisture to
go through with its transformations
to the pulpal and later to the image
stage. This evidently II could not
obtain IL the twig remained on the
tree. II therefore proceeds to cut
off the twig which has afforded II a
home so that this will lie on the
moist earth during the autumn and
winter. This is very nice operation,
evidencing apparently, as stated
above, remarkable instinct.
Fitch claims that the entire larval
and pulpal stage is passed within the
twig. From personal observations.
