WiIIie,s Pat Robin.

A little boy of my acquaintance had a pet robin which he loved dearly, and it would follow him around like chicken
 He did not like some cruel boys I have known, take it from it's mothers nest and leave her to mourn for it. He found itA dying alone, carried it home, nursed it, and it became great favorite. He used to take his little hoe, go out, and dig worms for it, and robin would follow, hopping about to pick them up as he found them.
 One bright morning, Willie, for that was the little boys name, rose early, went out and took his hoe, and as soon as Robin saw him he began to sing. He almost said;
 Now you are going to get my break fast"
 The robin trotted after him, ehirp- ing by the way. and filling Nillles heart with many anticipat1ons of hls favorite bird
 He soon came to the place where he was accustomed to finding worms and commenced digging for them. Robin perched himself on a ridge by the hole where he was digging. and his red breast never looked so beau tiful in the eyes of Willie
 lie raised his hoe to cleaVe another piece of earth, and while it was fall ing, Robin, probably perceiving a worm in the hole, hoped into it, and the hoe fell upon him and instantly severed his head from his body. Poor Willie does not enjoy life since the death of poor Robin.-Alice Benjamin, age 13, Mansfield Center, Conn.
 There's Lot to Learn in the Country.
 l had one more week of vacation. Papa said 1 could go to the country to visit a dear friend of ours. I left home on the trolley for Willimantic. After an hours ride I arrived in WilIi- mantle, and then went to the railway station When the train came I got on and rode to where my friend lives.
 Her husband met me at the station and I had a ride to the house She was delighed to see me and told me to have good time while I was there. I fed the chickens and hunted for eggs. Some of the hens had nests in the haymow.
 I climbed the trees and picked about two bushels of Bartlett pears. It was great fun. You can't do that in the city.
 Another day, down in the apple or chard, her husband and I picked ap pies. They sell them in Willimantic. I found four robin's nests and a hangbird's nest-I think it was an ori- ole; and little sparroW's nest. It's great in the country. There Is so much to learn there. l was sorry to leave; but Saturday came and had to go home to get ready for church and school-Richard W. Tobin i Jr., age g, Norwich

Commercially is the Life of a
Human Being Getting
to Be Now.

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. IA life
is coming to be regarded as a COM
mercial asset. 1t must be made to
yield as much as possible on the in
vestment; and sad though 1t may
make some of US to admit it, therein
lies our hope of making our cities
what the boosting clubs are so fond
of calling them: cities of homes :"
This was the statement made at the
conclusion of an address on "Pri-
yate Housing and Public Health" by
John Ihlder, field secretary of the
National Housing Association, before
the National Municipal League here
today. Mr.. Ihlder declared that
American city officials are not real
izlng as rapidly as the men in con-
troll of big manufacturing concerns
are, that better housing conditions
mean higher efficiency and better
health amongst workmen and cIti-
zens.
Some of our Industrial leaders
have begun to understand this" said
Mr.. Ihlder. There are in the United
States over twenty Individual villages
or suburbs created by men or cor
porations who employ great numbers
OF workers. The men responsible
for them believed that wholesome llv-
ing conditions meant more efficient
workmen. Unable to provide whole-
some living in the cities, they moved
outside"
The value of human life, he said.
is being considered from an econ
om!c rather than sentimental stand
poit, with the result that slums and
unhealthy parts of the cities are be.
ing done away with.
1T is not due to pitiful tales OF
suffering and wrong that our cities
are beginning to consider the posi-
bility of wiping out the slum." said
the speaker, 1T is due to the grow
ing realization that the slum means
an economic loss. that It's presence
indicates ignorance on the part of the
citizens and inefficiency on the part
of the government
From an inquiry made amongst
health and police officials OF leading
cities of the country, Mr. Ihlder drew
the conclusion that in nearly all
cities the full import OF insanitary
housing of the people is not known.
In many places Investigations are
now being made to determine just
what effect the evils of crowding and
slum living have on the people.
-Four miles from the workingman's
districts of Birmingham. Ala, is the
model industrial town of Bourne
ville,' said Mr.. Ihlder. "out of every
1000 children born in the first, 33t
die; out of every 1000 born in
Bonneville. only slxty-eight die.
Have we not passed the time when o
few leaders shall monopolize the
benefits OF the knowledge that whole-
some housing is a business asset?"
