The Pine Trees Four Wishes

Once there was a pine tree that
other trees to be seen anywhere but
oak trees. The little pine tree grew
tired of her needles, and one day
she said. "Oh, l know what wish.
wish had graen-Iaaras- -tha
other trees. / am tired of these old
needles That night n fairy came
and when everything was Just asleep
she put green leaves on the pine
tree. Next morning when the pine
woke up how glad she was, for she
was now an oak, instead Of a pine,
But after awhile cow came along
and began to eat the reaves. Then
the tree said, Il wish I had glass
leaves, SO the cows could not eat
them" The fairy came that night
and gave the tree some glass leaves.
In the morning the tree was so happy
when she found that she had glass
leaves. Just then the wind began
to blow and all of tho glass leaves
were broken. ~ wish I had golden
leaves, so / could be more beautiful
than all Of the other trees" said the
pine tree, That night the fairy came
again and gave the little tree golden
leaves. Now, when she awoke she
was very happy. for she was indeed
more lovely than all of the other
trees. and the other trees stared at
her. But, sad to say, a. man soon
came along, and with a basket on his
arm, began to gather the golden
leaves. Now. the little tree was very
angry. Il wish / had my needles on
again. / do not care for green
leaves. for giass ones. nor for golden
ones she said. That night the same
dear fairy came again and gave tho
tree her needles. and when she awoke
she found that she was nothing but a
pine tree.

TO CHILDREN.

Is You are fond of flowers. so you will
be sorry to hear that many OF our
prettiest wild flowers are fast dying
out OF certain places where they used
to grow.
1t is because people pick too many,
often all they can find. They cannot
all grow again, as people sometimes
think. because the flowers that are
picked cannot go to seed, and If large
branches are pulled off It will take
long for the plant to get back to the
same size. Then many OF our very
prettiest flowers have but one blos-
som or one cluster TO a plant and a
small plant too. and people ara apt
to take the whole plant, root and all.
You so out for pleasant walk in
the summer, or you 60 on a picnic,
and don't you often, all of you. pick
flowers whenever you see them. and
see what large punches you can make ?
And how many. get home with you
at night? Many of them get wilted,
and you are tired OF them. and do
you not generally throw many of them
away? Did you ever think that you
had destroyed life which you could
not bring back. and beauty which
you had never made?
But you will think that | want you
to pick no flowers at all. This Is
not what / mean. / only want you TO
think DUST what happens when we
thoughtiessiy pick all that we find.
or pull up the roots, or even when we
pick but few of the truly rare
wild flowers
Where flowers are very abundant,
You can take some. A few columbines
and lup!nes are far more beautiful
than many held close together. There
are even some flowers that you may
gather in quantities
Daisies. buttercups, and wild carrot
are the farmers enemies. He will
rid OF them. but what charming flow
ers they are, The latter well de-
serves its name Of Queen Anne's
lace" There Is little chance OF ex-
terminating wild roses Then robins
piantain and the fiebanes, that come
just a little later, the yellow daisies,
sometimes called blackeyed Susans,
butter-and-eggs, the goldenrod and
asters OF autumn--there is not much
danger of your destroying these.
But YOU have judgment: use It.
When flowers are few. leave them all,
Never take many. even when they
are abundant, except when you are
helping the farmers. Think OF 9TH
ers who may walk In the same woods
after you. and leave pretty things
for them TO see. Do as you would be
done by.
Now, people who admire and love
flowers have formed q society to give
our native plants a chance to spread
and grow more common. 1t is call
ed 'sThe Society for the Protection of
Native Plants" Would you like TO
join it? If so, perhaps you can form
a branch society for the same pur-
pose in your own town.. which could
be afflliated with the general Sec
