with only two feathers in his tail.
At twilight that evening Gpbble
was SO frightened that he dared not
go to his old roosting place ON the
coops but wamderred about forlom-
ly until Betty's daddy, understand

THE PET SQUIRREL

One day Billy's brother found
young squirrel and took it home.
The boys made a cage of screen
wire but the squirrel soon cut
through the wooden door and as
the house was screened they allow
ed! him to rum about inside. He
soon became perfectly tame.
They fed him warmed sweet milk
through glass tube, with a rub
Der bulb at one end. He would sit
up holding the tube in his mouth
while one of the boys would gently
press the bulb.
Soon they began to feed him nuts
and as his appetite grew rapidly
it took a great many to satisfy him.
When hehad eaten all he could he
would hide those that were left in
bureau drawers, behind pillows, UNI
der edges of rugs, and even in some.
ones pockets.
|. He soon learned to go to the
dining room for cracker, bis
cult CIR potato, and he would scam
per up the screen to his perch
over the door where he always ate.
He selected as a sleeping place a
pigeon hole of the desk in the boys
mothers room. and always pulled

was very curious about the squirrel

GOBBLE.

Gobble was a turkey who had alp
ideal hpme, but sometimes, am
sorry to have to relate, he was
not as amiable as a turkey who
lives in a bannyard where There
were so many smaller fowl, should
be-.
AT such times when he was very
naughty Betty would chase him
and grab him by the tail, or his
old red snout, and then he would
go and creep under the fence in
shame.
After the sun went down and
the twilight deepened, Gobble could
be seen walking in the most dig
nified manner out to the coops be-
hind the barn where he clambeuted
up for his nights snooze.
BUT ONE might Gobble had a most
terrifying experience. 1t was yet
dark but the light of day was
beginning to show I'M the east, and
Gobble was half awake and half
asleep when suddenly he heard a
peculiar noise. Instantly he was vice
awake and peered from side to side
in the half Light, and there to his
horror CLEANED two frightful lights
| close to where he sat.
PoorGobble did not know that
they were the eyes of wicked
wolf in search of a breakfast but
he did know that he must fly in
stantly and with spring in the
air he WAS gone, but he felt jerk
and a sting in his tail THAT told
him that he had parted with his
gorgeous tail feathers.
The fright and the sting in his
tail gave him such strength thai
he flew and flew until he was sc
tired he had to drop, then he ran
wildly Through the alfalfa hiding
and RUNNING and hiding again.

ABOUT THE FAIRIES.
Pray where ARE the little bluebells
gone
That lately bloomed in the wood?
Why, the little fairies have taken
each ONE
And put them lon for al hood.
And where are the pretty grass
stalks gone
That waved in the summer
breeze?
Oh, the fairies have taken them
every ONE
NO plant I'M their gardens, like
trees.
And where are the big blue-bottles
gone
That buzzed in their busy pride?
Oh, the. fairies have caught them
every ONE,
And, have broken them in to ride
And they've taken the glow-worms
to light their halls,
And the crickets to sing them a
song,
And the great red, rose leaves to
paper their walls,
And they're feastings the whole
night long.
But when spring comes with it's
soft mild RAY
And the ripple of gentle rain,
Tie fairies will bring what They've
taken away,
And give them ALL back again.

The CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD.
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience Of Motherhood is a try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not,one
woman in a hundred is prepared or un-s
derstands how to properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial Of strength, and when it is over
her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results.
There Is nothing more charming than
ahappy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves aid broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with ann
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator Of the female organism.
