cheerful eivers who are offering to

ether children whose cases are Just

There has oeen generous response
to the Evening Stars appeal for help
in its Christmas work during the
past week. Church clubs and similar
organizations have offered to help on
a more or less wholesale plan. Pros
porous and kindly disposed persons
have already purchased the gifts the

help comes.
Make some Sacrifice.
Don't hesitate to offer your aid be-
cause you are not wealthy. The ma

circumstances, but they have heard
the cry of the children and maybe
have made personal sacrifice to salts

You who are reading this, no mat

silver coin spent for a rattle for a
baby or some similar little trinket
will help. The children are not ask

VIRGINIA REEL FOR YOUTHS

At almost all children's parties
they finish up with dance which in
America is called the Virginia reel
and in England Sir Roger de Cover
ly. Grown people are just as fond Of
this dance as the youngsters, but It
naturally belongs to the children. as
the idea of it was taken from a very
old children's game called the shep-
aerdess. which is still very popular
IN France.
The children form a line and then
the leader stands little to the lef,
and the next child little to the right
and they raise their hands as high
as their heads and from a barrier.

After the last sheep has passed
safely under the two children that
formed the barrier drop into line at
the end. and the two at the head of
the line form the next barrier and so
on. until every child has had a turn
at being part of the barrier for ehs
others to pass under.

Trapping Wild AnlmaIa

Perhaps you have never tried to
make trap. doubtless for the reason
that there is nothing in the city for
you to catch except mice and rats.
and there are traps already provided
for such game. But in the country II
IS possible to set traps for rabbits
and such dwellers in the fields, and
one kind of trap is the pitfall. You
zig a pit and cover 1t with loose
branches and put something good to
sat in the middle. and animals smell
the food and try to get it and fall
through the branches into the hole.
That is what happened on a large
scale down In the New York noun
tains, according to story they tell.
1t is said that a man dug the cellar
for a house in the woods and found
deer and bear and other fur.bearing
animals caught in 1t every morning

AS rule the beginner starts in the
poultry business with great enthus-
asm. He carefully looks after the
details and he gives the best Of atten-
ton. In time, however, in many
cases, the enthusiasm wears off and
be becomes neglectful, then he fails.
If, on the other hand, he does not
become discouraged, but keeps up his
faithful work, he succeeds. The plant
grows. There is an Improvement in
bis stock, and his enthusiasm, instead
Of tagging, is increasing.
Now 1t is well not to be too enthusi-
astic at the start. It is apt to breed
oVer-conf1dence. The beginner in such
cases is apt to build air-castles and
get to that point where he knows 1t
all" A little knowledge is some
times a dangerous thing.
1t Is necessary, of course, to have
some enthusiasm. All enterprises re.

taken In the work assigned us we are
apt to poorly perform our duties.
Helter-skelter methods are disas-

So the beginner must not forget

The beginner must know that his

Likewise he must study the appetites

The beginner must stop and think.
He must notice the little matters. He

Haste makes waste. Map out a

The lack of good business sense has

ence. All businesses require both
capital and trained mind. Some
years ago the poultry business was
doomed with the false inducement
that raising chickens was an occupa-
don that called for very little labor,
practically no capital and very small

ducements were handed out in order
to create sales for stock and machin-
cry.
But instead of being that easy occu-
patton, 1t was found to be one that
required brains, energy, and every
requisite needed in any other busi-

soon tires of the sameness of work,
Or the close confinement 1t entails,
had better leave the poultry business
entirely alone.
