Do you pull a growing plant up by
the roots every few minutes to see
how it is doing? The process is just
as fatal to a cnild. Let him alone.
Besides"-the halo about Reggie's
mothers head was beginning to di-
minish-"the care you take of the
child is nine parts selfish. You are
really less concerned about him than
you are about yourself. You don't
want to worry about something that
may happen to him; that is what is
frightening YOU"
How many other mothers dare
spread their devotion under the doc
tors microscope and learn if it is
pure? How many prefer to make
Reggie's life a burden, under the
cloak of maternal w~atchfulness and
authority? Are you among them?
Watch yourself and see. If you are,
and realize it and correct the ten
dency, a brighter day will dawn for
Reggie and for yous-Harper's Ba1

SEED TRAVELLERS.

Did you ever stop to think why it
is that so many tiny maple trees grow
in your garden in the spring when
there are no large maple trees near?
Look at. the bird, and then at the
maple tree. You will see hat both
have wings. Such seeds as the ma
pies and elms futter from their pa.
rent trees, and then with their little
wings fly with the winds to faraway
homes. There they await the coming
Of spring. The nuts in the woods
are also seeds for new trees to jour-
ney to their new homes by rolling
from place to place. Some seeds have
little airships to travel in. Perhaps
you have seen them, for the milk
weed babies and dandelion children
sail very high as they look down up
on hills and fields.
Many seeds which must travel yet
have no wings o sails steal their
rides, so they are called tramps. After
a walk through the fields, when you
find your coat covered with tiny
green hooks, o may know that you
have been imposed upon to carry
these little vagabonds on their jour
neys. The birds often help the seeds,
although they do not know it. The
feathered creatures light upon the
branches of the great oak or old ap-
pie tree, to feed upon the white ber-
ries Of the mistletoe. In getting this
food the sticky gum of the mistletoe
gets on the birds feet. Some of the
seeds fasten themselves to this gum,
SO are carried to another tree by a
hungry little bird hat supposes he
is only getting his dinner.-Wash-

Hated to Take the Money.

Frank I. Cobb, the chief editorial
writer Of the New York World, was
on a vacation in the Maine woods
once when Joseph Pulitzer, owner of
the World, wanted to communicate
with him. Mr.. Pulitzer sent Cobb a
cipher message.
Presently a country operator drove
into the Cobb camp and handed Cobb
the message, which read something
like this:
simplicity - ACKNOWLEDGEMENT -
griffon - gerald - roderlck - hop
scotch-hamfat-publiclty.
There's a dollar to collect for e
livering that message" said the oper-
ator, .sbut I hate to take it. Some
body along the line got it all balled
up, and they amt no sense to it"

"a city boy named Tommy Jones
Did once a hunting go;
For very much he wished to shoot
An elephant or two.
he took his trusty wooden gun
And crossed a mighty hill;
And il he hadn't soon returned
He'd been a-hunting still.
But meath a tuft Of moving grass
He saw a monstrous sight:
And taking to his heels he fed
In most terrific fright.
He couldn't name the horrid beast
That from The grass did peeps.
But it was just. the tiny babe

MOTHER NATURE PREPARES.

MOTHER NATURE PREPARES.
The cosmos and hardy ~chrysanthe-
mum blooming in the garden tell that
summer is over and that Mother Ma
ture is preparing for the cold season
which will soon be here. The wood
land trees are dropping their leaves
to protect the roots Of the delicate
flowers and to enrich the ground for
the next years growth of plant life.
The green victims which have feasted
on the parsley beds and tomato vines
have eaten their fill for winter-and
have spun their little homes about
them. The great alanthus worms and
hickory worms are also preparing to
hide themselves in silky cocCons.
In the woods the open chestnut.
burrs show that the nuts inside are
ripe. The busy squirrels are already
at work filling their storehouses with
nuts and acorns to last until next
year.. Into the ground the snakes
and turtles are going for their long
winter maps Flying birds tell of the
journey of our feathery friends to
the South. The lambs, horses, cows
and all fur-bearing animals are grow
ing heavy coats for protection against
the cold weather. Many Of the fish
in the streams and rivers are leaving
our waters for those which will be
warmer during the winter. The far
mers are busy gathering their fruits
and vegetables so that the frost may
do no damage to them. In the city
the people take Mother Natures
warning that the cold season is COM
ing to prepare their houses and cloth

DEVOTION OF M-oDERNMoTHERs

DEVOTION OF MODERN MOTHERS.
Reggie, where are your"
"Just here"
"What are you doing there?"
Nothing"
"Now, Reggie, don't try to deceive
me. Tell me this minute what you
are doing?"
Nothing, mother. Just playing
with my blocks"
HWell, be careful"
"Yes, mother, I'm being it."
Then Reggie heaves a deep sigh
and goes on playing, while his de-
voted mother in the room adjoining
proceeds with her sewing or her
reading, feeling that the child's tenn
poral and eternal salvation is assured
for another quarter of an hour.
It may be a sad, sad thing to be a
little orphan boy, but Reggie could
not be made to believe it. It may be
a great good thing for a boy to have
a devoted mother, but Reggie accepts
this just as he takes health foods aud
cod-liver oil and much else that is
said to be good for him. Wha. he
would really love is to be
neglected, and, as a matter Of fact,
that is what he really needs.
Finally Reggie becomes very much
run down, and his mother takes him
to an eminent child specialist.
ooh yes, Doctor. I am very care
full about that" comes the prompt re-
ply, and the old Doctors eyes seem
to blink as if dazzled by the radiance
of the mothers halo.
When he is out with other boys
you sit by the window where you can
call out to him once in a while?"
ooh, yes, Doctor. I new let him
get out Of my sight If I can help it"
Well, madam, hal is what is
spelling the child's health. I can't
explain the connection, but there is
some sort Of psychological influence
at work on the child who is always
watched which takes the life out Ct
him. I have remarked this in unnum-
bered cases. Give Reggie a chance.

There is no doubt at all that If
these bonds were to be allowed to

Our Forests.
The forest reserves Of the United
States, some 100, 10000 acres in ex-
tent are under the control Of the De-
partment Of Agriculture, with au-
thority adequate to preserve them.
and to extend their growth SO far as
that may be practicable. The impor-
lance OF the maintenance of our for
ests cannot be exaggerated. The pos
sibility Of a scientific treatment Of
forests so that they shall be made to
yield a large return in timber with
out really reducing the supply has
been demonstrated in other countries.
and we should work toward the
standard set by them as far as their
methods are applicable to our condi-
tons.
Upwards of 400, 100000 acres Of
forest land in this country are in
private ownership, but only 3 per
cent. of it is being treated scientif-
cally and with a view to the main
tenance of the forests. The part
played by the forests in the equaliza-
ton Of the supply of water on water
sheds IS a matter Of discussion and
dispute, but the general benefit to
be derived by the public from the
extension of forest lands on water
sheds and the promotion Of the
growth of trees i'll places that are
now denuded and that once had great
nourishing forests, goes without say
ing. The control to be exercised
over private owners in their treat
ment of the forests which they own
is a matter for State and not ne
tional regulation, because there is
nothing in the constitution that au.
thorizes the Federal government to
exercise any control over forests
within a State, unless the forests are
owned in a proprietary way By the
Federal government.
For reasons which it is not neces.
sary here to state, Congress has seer
fit tor order an investigation into the
Interior Department and the Fores1
Service of the Agricultural Depart
ment. The results Of that investiga
ton are not needed to determine The
value Of, and the necessity for, the
new legislation which I have recon
mended in respect to the public land.
and in respect to reclamation.

commended be taken up and disposed
Of promptly, without awaiting thu

mined upon.

"THE QUEENS GIFT"
By Rose Hartwick Thorpe.

Where English daisies blossom
And English robins sing,
Where all the land was fragrant
Beneath the feet of Spring,
Two little sisters wandered
Together, hand in hand,
Along the dusty highway,
Their bare feet soiled and TANNED.
Twas not a childish sorrow
That filled their eyes with tears,
Their little hearts were burdened
With grief beyond their years.
The bright-eyed daisies blossomed
In valley and in glen;
The robins sang their sweetest
Spring sniled-but not for them
So e~lfaJ
Beneath the trees of Whitehall,
Within their shadow brown;
From the royal palace
The Queen came walking down.
She saw the children standing
Together, side by side,
And, gazing down with pity,
She asked them why they cried.
Dear lady," said the eldest,
my little sister Bess
And I have come together
A hundred miles, l guess.
Sometimes the roads were dusty,
And sometimes they were green,
We're very tired and hungry
We want to see the Queen.
"For mothers sick, dear lady,
She cries most all the day;
We hear her telling Jesus
When she thinks we're at play.
"She tells him all about it
How, when King James was
King,
We were so rich and happy,
And had most everything.
eve had Our own dear father,
At home beside the Thames;
But father went to battle
Because he loved King James.
"And then things were so differ

| cannot tell you how.
We haven't any father,
Nor any nice things now.
"Last night our mother told us
They'd take our home away,
And leave us without any
Because she couldn't pay.

$50 then we came together,
Right through the meadow
green,
And prayed for God to help us,
And take us to the Queen.
Because mamma once told us
That many years ago
The Queen was James's little girl,
And, lady, if twas So
81 know she'd let us keep it
Our home beside the Thames;
Nor we have come to ask her,
And father loved King James.
"And if we have to leave it,
I'm sure mamma would die,
For there's no place to go to-
No place but in the sky"
Here the simple story finished,
She gazed up in surprise,
To see the lovely lady
With tear drops in her eyes.
And when the English robins
Had sought each downy nest,
And when the bright-eyed daisies,
Dew-damp, had gone to rest,
A carriage, such as never
Had passed that way before,
Set down two little children
Beside the widows door.
They brought the weeping mother
A package fro mthe Queen
Her royal seal was on it,
And folded in between
A slip of paper, saying:
"The daughter of King James
Gives to these little children
Their home beside the Thames"
