BIRD THAT WAS FORGOTTEN.

He was Mary Elizabeth's little bird,
and it was Mary Elizabeth who said
to him over and over, Sing happy
song, little bird"
In summer, while the cage hung
On the porch out doors, many man
and woman smiled when they heard
the happy song of that little bird. In
winter sad looking friends who came
20 call sometimes forgot the troubles
that made them sad when they heard
The wee pets bubbling song. 1t did
seem as if that particular bird would
never be forgotten.
There came a time, however, when
Mary Elizabeth went to Europe with
Ger father and mother. She couldn't
lake the bird A neighbor who had
10 cats offered to keep him until Mary
Elizabeth's return Before the child
sailed she gave her pet a bit of ad-
vice:
always sing a happy song, little
Ord
At first it was easy for the little bird
% sing a happy song, but one day his
Kind friend was obliged to leave town
.or week, and he was left with
strangers who promised to take good
care of him.
always sing a happy song, little
bird" were the last words the neigh
Dor said at parting.
Soon after there was children's
entertainment in the church to which
birds were invited. Mary Elizabeth's
pet was taken in his cage, and of all
the glad songs that day his was the
sweetest. He enjoyed the entertain
ment thoroughly, and, when night
came, he tucked his head under his
wing and went to sleep without fear.
He didn't know, poor little fellow,
that the child who brought him lent
him to her dearest friend to take
home and keep for five days; neither
lid he know that one by one the
birds were taken from the church,
and he was forgotten.
Next morning the little bird awoke,
sang a happy song, ate his breakfast
and sang a happy song. His cage was
n a pew where little girl had left
him. The bird couldn't see the sum
shine streaming through stained glass
windows, but, while waiting for his
bath he sang a happy song. No one
came to give the little bird his bath,
80 he sang another happy song.
This is the part of the story Mary
Elizabeth never liked to think of for
minute; how the little bird sang un-
Ill his seed was gone and the water in
his cup; how two days passed, and the
little fellow tucked his head under
his wing and knew that he was for
gotten.
The third day the organist came to
practice on the pipe organ. The lit
lie bird lifted his head when music
pealed through the church. He had
never heard anything like it so
sweet, so solemn. When it was over
he weak little bird must have re-
menbered Mary Elizabeth's advice:
Sing happy song, little bird"
AS the organist was passing to the
outer door she heard a happy song.
And Mary Elizabeth's pet was found
before it was too late The organist
had known Mary Elizabeth since she
was baby, so Of course she recog-
nized the brave little bird, who was
never again forgotten.
Mary Elizabeth is big girl in high
school now, BIT when she is discOur-
aged and everything seems to go
wrong, she remembers the advice she
used to give wee canary.-Frances

Mind As A Disease Maker.

A good deal is said in these days
about the effect of mind on matter
in the way of the cure of disease,
but less is heard about mental in
f1uences as a cause of bodily ills;
yet it is an old truth that the state
of mind has a direct effect on the
body. The gloom and depression
caused by worry and anxiety create
a morbid cndition of the physical
system. 1t is impossible to feel we'll
physically when the mind and spirits
are downcast. The blood does not
circulate properly, appetite fails,
the head aches, and, if these morbid
conditions continue, more deep-seat-
ed ailments are likely to arise and
cancer may be one of them.
With many persons a fit of anger
is followed by an attack of indiges-
ton; excitement destroys the ap-
petite, bad news creates nausea,
fright causes faintness, and so en-.
Violent Or depressing emotions al
ways disturb the equilibrium of
body and mind alike. This being
the case, it is inevitable that when
these emotions often recur or be-
come continuous serious physical re-
suits will follow. The obvious les
son is then that mental serenity
tends to health-is, in fact, an es-
sertial element of health and that,
instead of resorting to mind 'cures"
after the health is broken. it is wise
to preserve the serenity as pre-
veltative and safeguard against dis
ease.-Indianapoli Star.

Not only her own town, but villages
and cities for miles. around bespoke
her services on such occasions. Last
