Birthday Letter.

Edwin Burdette Black celebrated his
birthday on April 20. and his picture was
published in The Bee on that day. Many
Of Edwin's little playmates and school
fellows saw the picture and congratulated
him, but he is now prouder than ever of
his birthday picture. for It brought him
this very nice letter from the famous lee
turer, preacher and humorist, Rev. Robert
]. Burdette, for whom he is named:
BOSTON, May 7, 1s1L-My Dear Boy;
A thousand thanks for your birthday pic
ture I am proud to be standing in the
middle of your name That's the meatiest
part of the sandwich, you know. You had
a long chase after me, but you caught me
here at last. / am on a 'go-look-see" tour
in Yankeeland. and will return home about
June 10
II spent two or three days with James
Whitcomb Riley, who has been very i'll,
but is now happily, cheerily and hopefully
convalescent. His mind is clear as crystal,
his bodily strength daily increasing. He
talks and laughs and tells stories-humor-
Gus and pathetic-with the old-time Riley
spirit.
My greetings TO all the jewellers in
your home. Cordially yours,
ROBERT ]. BURDETTE"

his toes. and, 10! he SCARED into the air
without effort. Down and down he flew,
like bird. And without the least feeling
OF WEAKNESS. he soon came to the foot Of
the mountain where his fathers farm lay.
He could see the pretty vine-covered cot
tage where his parents were probably wait
ing for him, and where they were for
the first time very unhappy on his account.
Then he felt his feet touch the ground,
and the Fairy Invisible said; you are
safe once more, my youth Never forget
your experience OF today And-never al
low yourself TO be led away by wild
fances and foolish lions and egotistical
owls They carry you to the End OF Things
and desert you"
For few moments Harry stood like one
stupefied. The ground felt very strange
after having flown through the air. And
he felt very small and extremely foolish.
But he must hurry home and tell his
waiting parents Of the strange journey
and stranger return. Just at the moment,
however, he saw a lantern swinging along
the lane which led 10 the big road where
he had alighted. Then he knew his father
was out searching for him. With feet al
most as swift as had been his wings he
ran TO meet the anxious parent And ne
found his mother, too. for both good PEG

The Lion and the Owl--A Strange Story

again. II would not be a safe place for
you-or any living soul This Is our do
main; yours lies at the foot Of the noun
tain.
Even while the owl was speaking Harry
shivered. The air was cold and sent a
chill through him. Also, mournful wind
was signing through the tree and Harry
wondered how the owl could endure such
sounds all the time. And from the caves
mouth there issued a horrifying wall as
the wind entered it, a sort Of moan, like
one In distress. And about them hung a
dread darkness, with huge rocks piling up
like black spectres once or twice Harry
was on the point Of asking to be conducted
home again, but thought he would better
stick It out" So catching tightly the good
lions name, he steadied himself for the
last ascent up the mountainside.
Were halfway to the top, my youth"
explained the owl. Breathe deeply of this
air, for soon Wen be amid the clouds and
mist, and the atmosphere will not be so
much TO your liking. Whist! What was
THAR" For a dark body had gone swiftly
past and low wall fingered on the air
"A panther" said the lion. I'd have
made quick work of him, hadn't our friend
been on my back"
And he would have made quick work
OF the youth, had not he been on your
back" And the owl smiled grimly Such
is the life on the great mountain" he ad-
ded. Then they set out up the steppest
part of their path. AS they went along
Harry felt the melancholy of the noun
tain. Everything there seemed to breathe
sadness or strife or danger Into great
crevices. hundreds Of feet deep, he looked
with awe. The darkness OF night began
TO settle, and the clouds dropped about
them like a damp curtain II was diff
cult TO breathe. Harry trembled in every
limb, but chung closer to his strange beast
Of burden. Up, up up they went. the owl
giving vent to short, emphatic boots every
few minutes. And once the lion paused
to roar and his roar shook the very
ground beneath them. causing Harry ut
most terror. for he feared ne would lose
his hold on the lions name and slide to
the bottom Of deep precipice beside
which they were climbing.
At last they stood on top the mighty
mountain. Harry scanned the world be-
low. dim, distant. mist-shrouded world.
On the western side hung the sun like
ball OF fog-yeiled fire, just dropping out
OF sight. on the eastern side he looked into
the spreading valley where lay his father 5
farm. But not a house could he see. not
a green field, not a tree or hedge The

strehlow, No. 10, Omaha, Blue Side
One day as 1 was looking out Of the
window 1 saw nest with four little eggs
in it. 1t was just about a foot from the
window in a grape-arbor. BY and by
song sparrow came and sat on the eggs
and in a few days 1 saw four tiny baby
birds, and when their mother or father
came to feed them they looked as II they
were all mouth, and very selfish.
I put bread crumbs on the window sill
and the mother-bird would come and get
them when l was standing right near.
One morning about two or three weeks
later heard a lot Of chirping, and when I
looked out of the window the birds were
learning to fly. 1t was so funny to see
them flap their winds and ny few
inches straight up and then drop in the
nest again. But before the day was over
they could fly very well. and In the morn
ing they flew away and never came back.

The air was still and soft,
Which was chilled by a wind from aloft.
Most everyone was fast asleep,
For IL was yet too early for them to peep,
But the birds were singing beautiful songs
with all their might,

After a while red ball of fire arose from

Which helped to make more glorious that

And whose rays as they fell awoke many

And also gave the earth warmer feeling.
While the sun filling the earth with bright

And the birds were filling 1t with joyful

The church chimes rang out from beyond
To wake the people all around.
