SQUEALY AND CURLY-TAIL

/ am going to tell you about two
very funny pets. SQuealy and Curly
Tail. Squcaly is little black and
white pig and Curly-Tail is all white
l know some OF my little TribunS
friends would think SQuealy and
Curly-Tail very queer pets, but IL you
once saw them l am sure you would
like them.
One day my uncle, who owns n big
farm, went down to the market to
buy duck eggs. AS he was looking
around he saw a crate with two little
pigs in 1t. They were so tiny and
cute that he bought them and took
them home to my cousin, who fell in
love with them at first sight.
Squealy used to follow my cousin
wherever sne went, and when she go.
tired she would stop and squeal as
loud as she could. This is how she
got her name. Curly-Tail got his
name from the funny shape OF his
tail. which curls right over his back.

SPARROWS.

| have no dog or cat. neither have
I a canary. but I would like to write
a few lines about some sparrows that
come to our kitchen window to be fed
every morning. They are fine. little
healthy birds and are so used to our
feeding them that they have become
quite tame and always seem to act
as if they were entitled to their morn
ing meal. One morning this winter
a flock OF large storm birds came On
our lawn. and the sparrows. thinking,
no doubt. that they were intruders
acted as If they were very much Of
Tended. / think if the boys who try
to shoot the little sparrows could see
these birds coming each morning for
their little breakfast they would not
be inclined to molest them. For NY
part, l shall always try to protect
even the sparrows.-Claire Courte-
