 On the following morning, Donald, the meeting was called to order with in the huge matched enclosure by Mrs. Gray Old Monk, whom all the other lady-birds addressed as Ma dam President" They pretended to be very busy with the business before them; but in reality they were wait ing for curious Cassowary to stick his nose inside of the little peep-hole they had purposely left on the side of the enclosure that they had also purposely left unguarded. And they had not long to wait, either.
 Presently, there was a slight scratch-scratching around the peep hole and-in bobbed Cassowary's head. Instantly he let out a squawk! For his head had touched and broken thin cord that held a wooden bar in place just above the hole: and straightway it fell upon him, shut ting in and holding his head in a wise. Tug and pull and stretch though he did, Cassowary was caught!
 And such a shrieking and clamor as arose within the room! But the Madam President" quickly sup pressed it and went to work. Assisted by several of the lady-birds, she took Cassowary to the middle of the en- closure and called for can contain ing hot, boiling, sticky mixture. Old Gray Monk had made 1t for her and he called it Melted Bone Gum to Catch Meddlers."
 Seizing a dipper she poured lot of the mess on poor Cassowary's head. My. how he did yell! Then, after 1t had cooled a bit and was thick and plastic like wax she moulded 1t into

 Therefore, boys, and girls too, be very thoughtful of the welfare of the hop-toad. See that no other child abuses him by st ming or clodding him. He can be made quite gentle if treated with consideration. Among the 'ranchers" in the West it is no uncommon thing sto see one or more fine fat toads living in the door yard, and even hopping about inside the houses during the summer where they go in quest of flies and mosquitoes And the "rancher's' wife knows the value of toads in and about her

And he made up his,mind. come what might, to eavesdrop in some way.
 Now here is where Old Gray Monk, the practical joker of the Jungle, comes into the story. Old Gray Monk was as full of pranks and mischief as your mothers pin-cushion is of pins. That is, he was except at home. There he was most mild and sub- dued-for he lived in mortal terror of his wife, Mrs. Old Gray Monk. h. deed, he didn't dare open his mouth before her. And she, you may be sure, was a suffragette Old Gray

 Among the insects devoured by these little benefactors are the cut worms. house-fiies, horse-fiies, rose beetles. myriapods (the common household centipede). army-worms. gypsy moths. celery worms, mosqui- toes and ants.

Monk, was, too, because he was afraid not to be.
 So on the evening before the great meeting of lady-birds, Mrs. Old Gray Monk was complaining loudly and be- rating Old Gray Monk about that peeking, prying upstart of a Casso- wary. The ladybirds had heard his boast that he would know all that transpired at that meeting as soon as they did.
 Mrs. Old Gray Monk fretted and stewed and stormed and ragged, taking 1t all out on her luckless husband, until he, in self-defense, offered to

worth in the European conflict. Both
Democratic and Republican members
of the Naval Affairs Committee APP
pear to be more inclined to-day to be
liberal in appropriations for subma-
rines.
Mr.. Underwood, the majority leader,
is a convert TO the idea of big sub
marine fleet He said to-day that the
European war had shown the desira-
biity of adequate submarine protec-
ton, and added:
at appears to me that submarines
are as valuable as, or more so than,
battleships, and | personally believe
we should have more Of them"
Representatives Tribble, Hensley and
Butler, members of the House Naval
Affairs Committee, pointed to the Eu-
ropean war as demonstrating the neces-
sity for more subm. rines for the navy
of this country.
Senator Lodge, ranking Republican
member of the Naval Affairs Commit
tee, said in regard to the condition OF
the submarines. as reported in The

opinion and, | may say, the opinion Oh
the majority of the people"
While deploring the war, Mr.. Roose-
welt asked his hearers to try TO imagine
North America unarmed, with Asia on
one side and Europe on the other. IL
would follow, he said, that trouble
would come from acros the ocean
that invasion from Canada or Mexico
was absurd to contemplate. lie was
speaking, he said, of a possible dis
agreement between the United States
and any other great power. lie went
into details as to how transports would
be sent ,.ere from the invading coun-
tries, and told simply how the United
States navy would attack those trans
ports. The navy that would win such
an engagement, he said, would teen
nically have control of the seas.
what would be necessary for the
Unite States TO do - case OF W. o,
forced upon us ?" ne asked. 1--WE would
either have to protect our outlying pos
sessions or give them up and conine
our protection to the continental parts
of the country. Either way, the first
object in solving the problem of ma
tional defence is TO prevent another
nation, the enemy, from bringing over
men to take physical possession of our
territory. We could defend our sea-
coast of nearly three thousand miles
with a smaller navy than we have now,
but if we wished to fight for our over
seas possessions, the Philippines and
the Hawaiian Islands, - would re-
quire a different navy from what W
have at present"
Mr.. Roosevelt said that some of the
newspapers were inclined to exag
gerate and make the people believe
that We were making great strides in
the navy. He referred to the statement
that we had a five-mile torpedo tube,
and that it was unique, while as mat
ter of fact. he said, other countries had
had them for years.
The Assistant Secretary asserted
that S50O0.000 a wear could be saved
