Old Man Coyote Gives Up His
Home.

| For most people moving is consider
able of a job. There is lot of pack
ing up. and when the new home is
| reached everything has to be unpack ed
and put in just the right place. Most
people dread moving. With the little
people of the Green Forest and the
Green Meadows changing from one
home to another is different. They
have nothing to carry but the clothes
on their backs, so there is no pack
ing or unpacking. Just the same, it
usually means whole lot of work.
You see, most of them build their own
houses. That means that if they have
to move from where they have been
living they cannot go out and find an
other house already for them to moSe
into as you and I can. They have got
to build that new house. There are
few. just a few. who are not par
ticular or at all fussy and are willing
to live in old houses left by other
people, but even these have to be fixed
up a little usually. So most of them
went move. particularly in the mid
de of the season, unless they feel that
they must
Old Man Coyote felt that he must. He
felt that never again would he have
a moments peace of mind so long as
he continued to live in his present
home in the far corner of the Green
Meadows. Old Granny Fox had led
Bowser the Hound to it, and Bowser
had led Farmer Browns Boy to it. and
the latter had set traps all around it.
To be sure, he had come that very
day. and taken away those traps. Old
Man Coyote had watched him from a
! hiding place and had wondered at what
he saw. OF course, he couldn't know
that Farmer Browns Boy had had a
change of heart-that he had begun
| to realize how terribly unfair and crnei
I traps are and SO had made up his mind
never to set another.
! But if he had known this it would
have made no difference. Old Man
Coyote would have been afraid that
Farmer Browns Boy might take it into
his head to try to dig him out and
kill him. or hide nearby to shoot hi n
:. it'll his terrible gun. No, sir. he never
could live in peace in 'that home. There
was no question about that.
Il And it was such nice home"

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Ernm Winter to Snrinr

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 Winter is gone March came to us in an ugly mood cold, snow and sleet. 1t gave us but few pleasant and bright days, but we should not complain. it might have been great deal worse as It has been in other sections of our country We begin to see signs of the return of spring, and soon our valleys and hill tops will be a bower of blooms.
 The resurrection, the crowning event of the world, Who was it that conceived it, and made it possible? The atheist would only say a delucsion and that the movement and workings of innumeranle atoms brought the return of the warm sunshine and opening buds. My friends. think again, think twice, and think seii- ously-you are wounding and giving pain. to your only true and faithful friend.
 Of the winter months we have had many agreeable recollections of fireside talks, the pleasure and comfort that good books brought us, and the culture wit, and ra- dant beauty to be found in our social world But when we can lie down on the grassy lawns and stroll in the woods and gaze upon the luxurious combination of foliage and flower, and listen to the songs of the birds and the signing of the wind in the tree tops, and the sound of the ripping of the beautiful mountain streams, it Is there In these we see the loveiest part of life, and why? Because 1t is natures work, and natures grear picture. Most people like to look at the pictures and statues of the great pain ters and sculptors of the world. But, in nature God has given us the more won- derful and really the only perfect picture. In the resurrection of the leaf and the flower the touch of the divine brush must have pleased Gods spiritual eyes when ne finished his picture-of springtime-and gave it to the world. We welcome the coming of the rose bushes and hedges showing the colors of the rainbow, and filling the air with the sweet smelling odors of the flowers. Beautiful world. let us reverence. honor and love Him who created 1t, and gave it to man, the mercI- full and great God.

TALKS ON THRIFT

My first bank account was 3.2o at the age of 9. I have saved ever since. I would be just as unhappy in not saving money every month as I would be in losing my chance for three meals a day In fact, I should eat only two meals a day if it came to that deprivation to save money.-William R. Compton, St. Louis.
 Events of the year 1894 are yet fresh in the minds of many who are still young.
 If you had saved from that time $5 a week at per cent compound interest, you could not enjoy an income equal to $6 a week and still keep your principal intact.
 For all around productiveness and safety the owner of a modest sum of money can find few, if any. investments equivalent to savings bank account. An instance at Lowell, Mass, demonstrates the truth of the statement.
 On September 1S 1858, some person de- posted $100 in the bank and on July 16. 1859. another $l00 These are the only deposits ever made. On October IT., 1898, the account, let alone for 70 years, had grown, through interest, to s14O0
 The depositor then drew Sl00 and week later $300 more. He thus took out twice as much as he ever put in and still had $l000 on deposit to his credit.
 This sum was allowed to remain and by November of 1911, it had become $l592 In June, 1912, the account was finally closed and the amount drawn was s16A The depositor had put in only $200, but he received it back and nearly sl9Oo more.
 His money always was ready for him. It could any day be paid in full. It was at work for It's owned day and night, month after month, year upon year, and out risk worth mentioning it had multi piled itself over nine times The rate of increase at first Was slow. but in the end
