sharp Drummer's bill is. All cert'nly
would" Mistah Mocker looked sad
ly at the places in his Goa where
Drummer had pulled the feathers GU,
because he thought that Mistah
Mocker had been helping Sammy Jay
to steal his eggs.
I've got a plan. Well set a trap
for chatterer!" said Sammy Jay, and
his eyes sparkled wickedly.
Set a trap!" exclaimed Mistah
Mocker, looking puzzled. What kind
Of a trap. Brer Jay?"
Yes. sir, Well set a trap. and Red
dy Fox will help us. although he
doesn't know it," replied Sammy.
This is the way We'll do it: Chatterer
will be SUI to visit the old orchard
tomorrow morning, hoping that
leave their home unguarded for a few
minutes.
I'll get Reddy Fox to hide behind
the old tumbled down stone wall. and
as soon as Chatterer runs across to
the old apple tree where Drum
mer's home is Reddy will sneak after
him and wait for him at the foot Of
the tree. Then smart Mr.. chatterer
will be caught"
happen to him If Brer Fox should
catch him!" exclaimed Mistah
Mocker. "Ah wouldn't want anything
SO dreadful as hat to happen to Brer
Chatterer, bad as he is"
Serve him right" snapped Sammy
Jay, who has no love for Chatterer.
But you needn't worry about that,
Mistah Mocker. Chatterer is no fool
and he isn't going to come down from
that tree with Reddy Fox sitting be-
low"
That's So" said Mistah Mocker,
looking very much relieved. But
how do you know that Drummer
and Mrs. Drummer will leave their
homer"
Sammy Jay grinned. We'll hide
until we see Chatterer hanging
around" he replied. Then Til
show myself near Drummer's home
and he and Mrs. Drummer and all
their friends will chase me Just as
they did before. OF course Chatterer
will think this is just the chance he
has been waiting for to steal those
eggs and he won't lose any time
about it. AS soon as he reaches the
tree where Drummer's home is you
fly over there screaming thief at
the top of your lungs. Then I'll
lead the others back there, and we'll
see some fun"
Mistah Mocker thought the plan
over for a few minutes. Then he
"Ah believe 1t will work." said he.
II know 1t WILL" replied Sammy.

COUNT HAPPINESS A DUTY AS

Be happy all the time. 1t Is a we'll
established law hat mental habits are
as readily formed as physical. Happi-
ness is one state OF consciousness.
What mind may do for the body is
~incalculable, and what each individ-
ual. working the same line toward
happiness as every other individual,
could do toward uplifting the human
race is also incalculable. Pulling thus

thought would be healthier. happier

for happiness-are parallel.
Make 1t a mental habit to see the
good in everything. Keep before your
mind a mental idea Of happiness and
harmony. Form the thought that evil
exists only for the purpose Of being
developed into the good and beautiful
and then keep your mind trained to
the tune of the good and beautiful.

choose. what you will think as what
you will eat. and let me warn you
that just as food you eat affects you
physically. so what you think affects
you physically, for mind. body and
soul are interdependent, and you have
only to experiment to prove this to
your own satisfaction.
For instance. if at this moment you
are suffering from a dull headache,
your brain Is sluggish and your mood
depressed: II the headache is a sharp
one. then your nerves are "all on
edge" and instead of being depressed,
In spite Of the pain, you feel an ex-
h~ilaration amounting to excitement.
Similarly, too. excitement causes the
blood to circulate more quickly and

tards the circulation. so that 1t fails
to stimulate as 1t should the various
organs through which 1t flows.
Physiology n psychology are very
closely related. after all. and II we

Do you think the old. trite saying,
BE good and you will be happy is
merely a saying? On the contrary,
since everything is by comparison,
everything is good or bad, lovely or
unlovely. productive Of good results
or Of bad. and so it follows. that if
you are in the good class all the
good things are due you-happiness,

Shed their spicy odors on the air

When our only prayer is for that

When at last we reach the pathway
that leads upwards to its
Threshold,
When we gain its sacred portal by
a long and weary route,
We will find the gate wide open to
give welcome to the wanderer,

After thrilling struggle in a gale
on the storm-lashed Schuylkill river
at Norristown, Pa, four young women
In a skiff were upset and three OF
them drowned, while the fourth was
able to cling to the overturned boat
and kept afloat until rescuers came.
Helen, daughter of Rev. G. Wesley
Green, pastor of the Chestnut Hill
Methodist church; Mary, daughter OF
William Livergood, of Norristown, and
Emma, daughter of John M. Rex, OF
Norristown, were drowned, and it was
Margaret Green, sister of one of those
drowned, who saved herself by cling
ing to the boat.
The four, whose ages range under
thirty years, had been picnicking and
bathing at the head of Barbados
Island, a popular pleasure park in the
middle of the river, opposite the up
per end of Norristown. When the ter
rife storm approached they started
for the Swartley boathouse, where
they had hired the boat, round-bot-
tom steel craft.
They had gone several hundred
yards from the island boat landing,
when the storm broke in all it's fury.
In their excitement, as Miss Margaret
Green and Miss Livergood were row.
ing, Miss Livergood's oar came out
of the lock. Either this dipped the
boat or the high wind caused the
waves to wash over the sides, and the
girls, panic-stricken, stood up in the
boat, and this caused the craft to go
down.

lower limbs, partial paralysis of thn
arms and conclusion of the brain.
The injuries were suffered whea
Mr.. Benson dived from the end of the
pier and, it is supposed, struck hi
head on rock.
Clerk of the council, Mark Nc
Manus, who was standing on he emf

surface he saw blood streaming fro...
his head Mr.. Benson was a1un ,.erins

McManus shouted to Former Coun

Hinger. They brought Benson to the
shore. DR.. Norris Milliiin, cottager,
closed the jagged wound in the head
with seven stitches. It was then that
the paralysis was discovered.
1t is impossible to move the injured
man to the hospital, because his condi'
ton Is SO critical.

Turkey Resumes War.

The Turkish army started Saturday
to march on Adrianople. An imperial
decree ordered the advance guards to
occupy the territory which remained
to Turkey after the signing of the
treaty of peace in May and which Is
not now occupied by Ottoman troops,
but Bulgarians.
According to the Agence Ottoman,
the advance, which apparently took
place both from the Tchatalja lines
and the Gallipoli peninsula, encoun.
tered no resistance.
All furloughs have been stopped and
the officers and men who are now alb
sent will repoin their regiments. The
government has again requisitioned
horses and transport facilities, and
everything points to Turkeys inten-
ton to take an active part in the war
now proceeding between Bulgaria and
the other Balkan states.

HANDS OFF IN
MEXICO, WILSON idea
Recognition to Wait on Peace
and Elections.

Consideration of the Mexican situa-
ton took much of the time of Presi-
dent Wilson and his cabinet at the
regular session.
Secretary Bryan had long confer
ence with the president before the
other members arrived. Although re-
ports are coming in from various
sources the administration is looking
forward to first-hand information from
Ambassador Wilson, on his way from
Mevico City. 1t was again authorita-
lively said that the attitude the ad-
ministra,ion sill was unchanged.
It was reiterated that the cabinet
unanimously was IN accord with the
president in waiting return to Stable
conditions beore extending recognition.
Several officials said the cabinet had
from the beginning been of the opin-
ion that the changing conditions of
Mexican politics warranted the "hands
off" policy for some time to come,
Secretary Bryan authorized the as.
sertion that he would cancel any lee
ture engagement which would conflict
with the conferences next week he and
the president will have with Ambassa-
dor Wilson.
Some of the members of the cabinet
were not inclined to think any action
would be taken following Ambassador
Wilson's conference, and reiterated
the belief that until elections were
held in Mexico and an appearance OF
peace was in sight formal recognition
probably would be withheld.
