LEW JOHNS
That dear little empty red cradle,
That cradle upon the floor,
Reminds a sad mother of two little
eyes
That will peep from its depths no
more.
Into that empty red cradle
The mother oft looks and sees
The same bright eyes and same sweet
face
That has smiled up from her knees
And now as she looks and listens
Far sweeter than wood notes wild,
She hears again a babble there
And the laughter of her child.
All! that dear little empty red cradle,
Memories dear does 1t hold
OF two little eyes that were blue as the
skies,
And sweet little curls OF gold.

Mirabel's Gift
REGINA WATSON

+ Grandma was going to have birth
day, and Mirabel was thinking. She
had her chin propped by her two plump
fists and her elbows rested on her
knees; her fair forehead was all in a
pucker, and between her eyes were two
straight up and down lines, which
brought the brows very close together.
quite after the fashion of grown folks
when they think unpleasant thoughts.
Mirabel unclasped one fat fist and anx-
iously regarded the two pennies It con-
tanned. Two pennies were so few. The
only thing she could think Of that
mother ever bought for 2 cents was
cake of yeast but of course cake of
yeast wouldn't do for grandma's s birth
day.
"Pll have to tell her that love her."
Thought Mirabel sadly Mother says
that even when people know we love
them they like to be told about it. I'll

Mr.. FOx's Lesson
WESLEY ANDRES rA,LEx

Mr. Fox liked ducks, and he knew
where to get them. Farmer Green,
who raised ducks lived near by and he
had many fine fat ones.
Mr. Fox lived in den near the foot
OF high hill, near which flowed n
little stream Of clear mountain water
from which he could drink whenever
he felt like IL. He had wife and
two children Of whom he was very
proud.
He wanted some of Farmer Green's
ducks to feed his family with But
how to get them was a puzzling thing
altogether. At length he thought OF
way He would go to the place
where the ducks stayed at night and
when the farmer was asleep he would
sneak up to the ducks and catch one
and run away before the farmer could
catch him. Then he and his family
would have q feast,
So that night he started for the
farmers place AS he started to creep
along in the shadows he heard the
ducks Quacking away at lively rate.
He said to himself: What a good
dinner we shall have tomorrow" Then
he stopped, for he thought he heard
something. AS he lay there he knew
that the noise he had heard was the
ducks going to bed.
When all was quiet again he went
on until he was within few feet of
the ducks. Then he jumped at the
nearest duck, caught it by the neck
and started to run away with it. He
heard loud bang and at the same
time he felt something prick him in
the side, like somebody was sticking
him with lot Of pins.
Then he heard the farmers voice
shouting: Here, Pete. here, Peter and
then he heard the loud bark of a dog
at his heels. He started to run as fast
as he could. He ran and ran until

Animal Cries Nearly Human

OF the animal cries that most clearly
produce upon the hearer the effect OF
the human voice more are found in the
case of birds.
While the parrot Is the best known of
birds possessing the power OF initiating
the human voice, as a matter of fact it's
voice is decidedly inferior to that OF the
nina, a species OF starting.
Strange to say. the male starting
speaks In high, clear note. like that of
a child, while the females register
discloses markedly grun note.
The Australian bird called the laugh
ing jackass utters a peculiar cry. very
much like that of a troop OF boys shout
ing, whooping and laughing in chorus.
Another Australian bird, the m0repOrk,
is frequently heard strenuously de-
handing more pork" in stentorian
tones.
The whippoorwili demands his pun
ishment In a distinct imitation OF the
human voice, and the command OF the
guinea fowl to come back could easily
be mistaken for the tone OF the human.
There Is said TO be a species OF cow In
India which possesses a note exactly
resembling the human voice In laugh
ter. The cries OF seals lamenting the
loss of their young very closely ap-
pr0ach the human note, while the cry
OF the wounded hare has been held To be
distressingly like that OF child In sore
straits.
