BY ANNA WALL EDW ARDS.

The other morning there was quite
a commotion on the porch. What
do you suppose was the trouble
Why, Dorothy's brother was holding
a fine white chicken in his arms and
it was squirming to get away be-
cause Dorothy Lee was trying TO
paint it green.
Now, you may have heard OF i
purple COW. but who ever heard OF
a green chicken? I'm sure you never
did, did you'
What on earth are you trying to
do?" Dorothy was asked And she
replied:
We'll, thought it would be nice
to have a green chicken so it would
match the grass"
But white chicken on the green
grass looks ever so much prettier,
don't you think SO?
Dorothy then put her paint box
away and went to lie IN the ham,
mock under the big pine trees, when
suddenly she heard a soft thud as
if something had fallen in the grass.
She got up and looked around for 4
few seconds, then what do you sup
pose she found? A little baby birdie.
which some naughty cuckoo had
thrown from its nest. Dorothy
picked it up and carried it gently to
the house and made a little bed for
it out OF soft white cotton. and then
found some tiny grubs to feed to it.
. She kept it nice and warm and every
day it grew little bigger, until at
last. one fine morning, before Dor
othy was scarcely awake. it began
TO sing, and seemed to say:
"Goodby. Dorothy Lee, | thank
you for saving my life and taking
such good care OF me. But now I
think I'm big enough to take care

window and was out of sight.
Dorothy often looked up in the
tree to see if she could catch
glimpse of her little birdie, and once
she saw a mother bird spank its little
baby bird because it wouldn't 60 to

looked at all the drawings,
we decided that d great many OF
YOU must have one as a pet because
YOU seemed to know all the anus
ing things d parrot does and says
and the tricks he plays. One OF the
drawings made Us think OF story
about d parrot VIC once heard.
Would you like TO hear it:
Mrs. Smith used 10 buy wood from a
man who came around every week. He
would come into her yard and call
ANY wood to-day? 80 And Mrs Smith
would usually say, Yes, a dollar's
worth"
Her parrot heard this conversation
every week for about three months.
One day. when the man came into the
yard. Mrs. Smith happened to he up
stairs. He called ANY wood to-day ."
Poll knew the answer TO that ques-
,ion Al least she thought she did. So
she called out. "Ycs. dollars worth"

THE KITCHEN FROLIC.
-(By Virginia Vale.


 Once upon, time a bright copper tea kettle sat on the back of the stove singing softly to itself: "Humhun hum, how happy I am. have on a nice bright dress and Cook brushes me. up every day so that I keep bright Now what else can any one wish ?''
 "Ahm, ahm,'' said the saucepan, T should think a great deal more than that. For. my part I want to travel and see all the things I have heard people talk about"

Don't go into the dining rooms into a. beau tiful place and stay there quite a while before they think of bringing me back It was quite different from this kitch- en and heard a great deal about oth- CT places and saw the little girl that comes once in a. while to see the cook. "OI, know her name is Maude, ' said the tea kettle. She loOked1 at nre when she came the other day and told Cook I looked fine and that she could see her face in me l was so bright and when I made the steam come out of my nose she danced around and laughed SO hard that l kept it up until [ nearly burst and Cook had to fill me with fresh water , ..Oh, dear, you all think you know so much and you don't know half what | dO, -Sa1de the tea pOI. None of you have been to the places. that I have. Why, it was just the other day Maudess mother took me to- a large building just filled with people. I sat on a. table and was filled with tea and every o-1e wanted a. cup from me and a great many people said what l g. lovely tea pot that is, I should like one just like it.'' By this time the sauce pan grew so angry that she began to bob around on the stove and at last tipped off cn the floor carrying the coffee pot with her and spilling all the coffee.
 This made the coffee pot angry and she didn't even try to get up but lay sullen1y on her side looking at the tea pot laughing at them. The tea kettle kept right on singing and didn't mix up in the quarrel and when the Cook came and found the others on the floor and what a mess they had made she swept them up and threw both in a dark corner.

Please tell me, also, how to make cream hints.
