YOUNG ROBINS SELFISHNESS.

IT was spring time in the South wher
! Young Robin said to his bird frien'l:
one day, II am going North tomorrow.
Going North tomorrow" they ques
toned: why. the snow has not melted
yet and the rivers are all icy and tn,
ground Is all frozen and the buds have
not appeared and everything is bleal
and wintry. You should wait until the
first of us are ready to fly northwarc
and go with US"
Robin made no argument with them
but when he was by himself he said
That was Just what 1 wanted them tC
say. 1 don't want them to fly NORTH
with Inc. 1 would rather be alone sc

1 can have all the big, fat worms fol
myself, and 1 will be the first robin Ct
the season and everyone will admire
me-" You see, Young Robin was led t
fly away not by any good motive, bu,
because he was selfish and wanted e
get the best there was all for himself

hearty breakfast of worms and SOM
crumbs which he found in a nearby
yard, he set out for his flight.
The first day he did not fly very far,
and when it came night he was not yet
ont of that part of the country where II
was still warm, and he found good

the few hours before he went to sleep
When they asked him where he was 60
ing and he told him that he was on his
way north they were much surprised
and cautioned him about getting too
far from where the sun was bright and
warm and the ground free of frost. But
Young Robin in his self1shness thought
he was wiser than they, and early the
next morning was on his way again
without even stopping to say good-by to
the friends with whom he had spent the
night For" said he, perhaps If
stopped to say good-by some of them
would decide to go with me, and ]
would have to divide the worms and
all the other things that are waiting
for me-"
The second day Of his fight was not
quite so comfortable as the first had
been, and toward night he began to
feel little chilly and missed the warm
rays of the sun. But l won't mind a
little cold." he said to himself alone In
a tree. Il have plenty of feathers"
When he awoke the next morning he
was shivering and 1t took him some
time hopping about before he got all
that he wanted to eat, for the worms
were pretty scarce and the ground was
rather frosty for his tender feet. At
last, however, when the sun was up he
flew away, still headed northward.
Early in the afternoon the clouds be-
gan and pretty soon they covered the
sun. And not long after that he began
to see white things that looked like
feathers floating through the air, and

LOOKING-GLASS


No, It never occurs to you to look at
things as they are. You are going to
see them as you wish them to be. You,
a comparatively embryonic creature,
scarcely more than promising, certainly
not yet developed, sit back and demand
certain things of the man who aspires
to you.
Why do you not think what you can
give? No, you just assume that you are
more than worthy of this ideal man you
want.
Are you? What can you do? You can
not conduct a home. Oh, yes, you think
you can. Suppose he thought he could
conduct law practice. Would you take
him on the strength Of his thinking?
No, indeed. He must show you that his
is the success you demand.
Yet you expect him to take you, trust
ing to some sort of legerdemain that
You will know how to do what you have
never learned thoroughly. And you
think he gets good measure: He does
not. He gets an eXperimenter in the
dangerous stage Of experimenting.
The idea of your daring to demand
anything OF a man! The absurdity Of
you, unprepared, undeveloped, untried,
setting up standard for him!

He flew down between the trees to the
ground, but when he alighted his feet
sank into the snow almost up to his
body. If I sleep in this snow I will
surely freeze my feet" he said, and he
began hunting for some place where the
snow had not gathered. At last in the
end of a hollow log he found a place
free from snow and hoped in, very
much discouraged and very lonesome
and hungry.
He pecked at the snow but it made a
pretty poor breakfast and after the sun
was we'll up he flew through the trees
and started southwark. As the air be-
gan to grow warmer he knew he was
getting back toward where the robbins
he had left were still living and he
began to be ashamed when he thought
of the selfish motives which had led
him to leave them and go northward by
himself. On the evening of the fourth
day he came in sight of the place where
all the robins he knew lived and, al
though he dreaded to see them, he was
so tired that he flew down and alight-
ed on a tree where three or four of his
friends were already half asleep.

the higher he flew the thicker the
