who says he is the oldest museum official
IN the country. asked TO be permitted to
retire from the place II was filed later by
the election OF Henry l.. Ward. of the Pub
lie Museum of the city Of Milwaukee. who
| had been first vice-president.
| Professor Morse said hc thought New
York was the logical museum centre of
this country He thought the Museum of
Natural History and tho Museum Of Art
the best regulated institutions of their kind
! in the world.
| THE Museum OF Art has not the pictures
the Louvre has. nor is IT 10 be compared in
value with some OF the other great GAL
! lerles." he said; hut IN arrangement,
| lighting and the general display OF the
treasures the museum possesses there IL
no other museum that can compare with IT.
at Is wonderful to SEQ the way in which
the two museums in this city have deyel-
opcd. 1t hardly seems possible that the
small institution Of comparatively few
years ago has developed into the American
| Museum of Natural History. with it's great
| collections. Take. for instance, the Indian
collection. The way in which IT is exhibited
cannot be excelled. and its value IS not
yet fully realized"

IT the window and asked, Why do you

So the fairy touched her head with

and 1t reached the ground, and hen
lover, holding a rope ladder In one

and his big black horse was standing

rode away and lived happy even

CHAPTER viii.
TeIlers Of Tales.

The days few rapidly by. Miss
Minerva usually attempted to train
Billy all the morning, and by the mid
day dinner hour she was so exhausted
that she was glad to let him play in
the front yard during the afternoon.
Here he was often Joined by the
three children whose acquaintance he
had made the day after his arrival,
and the quartet became staunch
friends and chums.
All four were sitting in the swing
one warm spring day, under the sur
veillance of Billy's aunt, sewing on
the veranda.
Lets tell tales" suggested Jimmy.
"All right" agreed Frances. 'Tu
tell the first. Once there's-"
Nav, you amt neither" interrupt
ed the little boy. You all time talk
ing bout you going to tell the first
tale. I'm going to tell the first tale
myself. One time they s.
mo, you are not either" said
Lima positively. Frances is a girl
and she ought to be the first II she
wants to. Don't you think 30, Billy?"
''Yas, does" championed he; "go
on, Frances"
That little girl, thus encouraged,
proceeded to tell the first tale:
"Once there s man named Mr..
Elisha, and he had a friend named
Mr.. Elijah, so his mantelpiece fell on
top Of his head and make him per
fectly bald; he hasn't got single
hair and he hasn't got any money,

MS lean little body through the OPEN
ing. He dexterously caught the hen
by the nape of the neck, as he had
seen Aunt Cindy do, while Jimmy
reached for the eggs.
"If we amt done lef' my cap out
side on the groun'," said Billy. What
we goin' to put the eggs in?"
well, that's just like you, Billy.
you all time got 70 leave your cap on
the ground. I'll put 'em in my blouse
till you get outside and then I'll hand
'em to you. How many you going to
take?"
1--WE might just as we'll git 'em all
now," said Billy. Aunt Cindy say
they's some kinder hens won't lay no
chickens t all II folks put they hands
in they nests an this here hen look
like to me she's one Of them kind, so
the rester the eggs II Jest be waste,
any how, cause you done put yo'
hans in her nes', an a dominicker
amt a-goin' to STAN no projeckin'
with her eggs. Hurry up"
Jimmy carefully distributed the
eggs inside his blouse, and Billy once
more crawled through the hole and
stood on the outside waiting, cap in
hand, to receive them.
But the patient hen had at last
raised her voice In angry protest and
set up a furious cackling, which so
frightened the little boy on the inside
hold of a low roost pole, swung him
self up and, wholly unmindful Of his
blouse full of eggs, pushed his lower
limbs through the Aole and stuck fast.
A pair of chubby, sturdy legs, down
which were slowly trickling little yell
low rivulets, and half plump, round
body were all that would go through.
'Pull!" yelled the owner of the
short fat legs. 'T'm stuck and can't
go no furder. Pull me th'oo, Billy"
About this time the defrauded fowl
flew from her nest and attempted to
get out by her rightful exit. Find
ing 1t stopped up by a wriggling,
squirming body she perched herself
on the little boys neck and tapped
her enraged wings in his face.
PULL" yelled the child again, help
me th'oo. Billy. fore this fool chicken
pecks all the meat OF m my bones"
Billy grabbed the sticky limbs and
gave valient tug, but the body did
not move an inch. Alas, Jimmy with
his cargo OF broken eggs was fast
imprisoned.
Pull again!" yelled the scared and
angry child, "you bout the idjetest
idjet they is IL you can't do no better
n that"
Billy jerked with all his strength.
but with no visible result.

HARD RAINS NOW
Loss TO FARMERS
A GREAT CHANGE m AGRlcUL-
TURAL LANDS.
tanning Excess Mosture-ResuIts
in Disastrous Freshets.

In the report Of Sle Missouri Water
way commission, which has been SUBJ
mitted to tue state legislature, the
attention of our solons has been
called to the great change which has
taken place in the effect of water upon
some of the agricultural lands of this
state. The time was when good
heavy soaking rains We're occurrences
devoutly wished for by the farmers,
and the breadth of the agricultural
smile increased with each additional
drop. But that time has passed-the
heavy rains now put a deep gloom
upon the face of the wise farmer, who
goes indoors and turns his back while
the havoc is being wrought, instead
Of watching the pleasant pit-a-pat.
The reason Tor il has bene discov-
cred and remedy advocated by the
Commission. When the hillsides and
slopes were covered with trees and
heavy grass, the hard rains merely
soaked into the soil. being readily
retained by the spongy duff and held
for future use. 1t percolated slowly
to the stream by seepa-e, kept the
stream flow steadily sustained and
maintained the high water level.
Now hillsides and slopes are
not covered with trees nor with heavy
grass. Prodigal methods of husbandy
have denuded hills and prairies alike
of the protection formerly afforded
by nature. The soft duff and rich
black earth has been turned over and
over so often through the succeeding
seasons that it no longer retains the
moisture. The surface soil now not
only fails to retain the moisture, but
what is more unfortunate, fails to
maintain its own position on even the
gentlest slopes in the face Of the
heavy washing rains. The result ia
that both soil and rainfall are lost
the rain rushes down the hill in heavy
freshets, carrying with it the valua-
BILE soil covering which can never be
replaced.
