Words That Speak.

l:ang-'a sudden noise like that from
Il gun" Is the definition given by the
dictionary. But the explanation is be.
logginS and futile. for a bang is
well. what better describes It than that
simple word itself?
SO many OF our most expressive
words seem similarly to have sprung
from q desire to form with the lips a
sound mimicking the thing described.
why waste words on a definition Of
the word splash" for example? You
hear all the abrupt. restless heaving Of
the waterS'in that one word.
AND does eye Il baby need to be
told what 'buzz" means when a blue;
bottle is leading a forlorn hope against
the window? s II
.Tinkle.' whistle" whine" ''gur-
gle" ''cackIe."- ~.'icy'-these are only q
few Of our other eloquently descriptive
words.-LOndon Answers.

shape and brought it to a point at the top-just as you see 1t today on the head of Cassowary.
 Now, my fine young busybody,' she exclaimed to poor Cassowary, shaking her finger in his face, well let that harden a bit and hereafter, when you try to stick your head in where it doesn't belong that comb will catch in the peep-hole and remind you to think twice before you pry into other peoples business. And-oh. yes, Mrs. Duck, I almost forgot we'll fasten these two pieces of dried snake skin to your throat and paint them red-as a further reminder!
 If you weren't so big I'd turn you across my knee and spank you right here and now-but this will have to dol"
 And from that day to this. Donald, Cassowaries have had pointed horn combs and bright red wattles and goodness me, there comes Nurse for you! And I daresay she will say you fell asleep on the soft green grass and dreamed all this! But don't you gee. I must hurry. Goodbye. lit tie son!"

TT was almost dusk of the first day s ] ride when Hal, his younger broth CT Jack, his father and Goldie, the U guide, made camp in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Though they had forded a swift, ice-cold mountain stream but an hour before they turned their sturdy little cayuses and pack ponies into the selected spot, the chill dry air had dried their boots as though they had never been wet.
 But they were hungry-goodness yesl
 You young fellers won't get no quail -on-toast nor no ice cream" said Goldie as they stood watching him unite the ropes around the pack" on one of the pack horses. And there ain't goin' to be no table-cloth nor napkins, either."
 T should worry!" put in Hal, in what he meant to be quite an accus- tomed-to-roughing-i tone. Gee whiz I could chew nails!"
 Well then, young feller." said Goldie with smile, between tugs at the rope. "hike around on the other side of this pony and chew loose one of these knotsl"
 Hal gasped.
 Jack snickered.
 And Goldie smiled again-good- naturedly-for he hadn't meant to be unkind but simply to have his little joke at the expense of a "tenderfoot,' lest aforesaid tenderfoot become too "rambunctious."
 So Hal, red of face, swallowed his surprise and went around to the other side to work on a refractory knot; while little Jack, not knowing quite what to do, stood, poised for flight, watching the guide tug and pull on the rope and addressing remarks that were quite personal to the restless, fdgeting pony all the while. Suddenly, Goldie seemed to be conscious of Jacks presence.
 "What're you doin', sonny!" he ex- claimed in a tone meant to sound fierce and terrible. Think you're watchin' a roundup? You beat 1t for that pony of yours and unite your slicker G. e. an oilskin waterproof such as fishermen wear in bad wealth er) and see if you can get your sad dle off. Out here in this country, Jackie, it's every man for himself and there won't be no dinner for any body until camps all made and the ponies corralled-ain't that right, MT. Hamilton?" And Goldie winked over his shoulder at MT. Hamilton.
 That's right, Goldie," he replied. "We might as well break in these two young tenderfeet from the start. They've got lots to learn before we get back East again. And then, in serious tones he added. Guess we ought to make them pitch the tents don't you think?"

--oh, no! But he was curious. Like some people nowadays, Donald, he had perfect mania for always stick ing his nose into other peoples busi- ness
 He was regular Peeping Tom. He not only wanted to know but also to see everything that went on in the jungle, If two or three of the birds or the animals happened to meet in one of the sylvan glades and stop a moment to pass the time of day, Cas- sowary was presently poking his sharp little beak in among them, all agog with curiosity, and darting his bright little eyes about hither and thither from one to the other. Again, one of the animals with his wife and children would be sitting peacefully after dinner just within their cave talking over the last school report of their children-yes, indeed, animals went to school in those days and other family affairs when. all of sudden. in would pop Cassowary's head with some such foolish remark as T hope I'm not intruding, folks, but I Just thought I'd look in and see how you all are getting along."
 Indeed, Donald Cassowary was a regular nuisance.
 But one day he over-reached him self. And that is when he got the horny comb on his head and these ugly red wattles-which, of course. he had not possessed until then. "Curi- osity killed the cat,'' is an old saying, you know; but I would like to add that 1t also gave Cassowary his comb and wattles.
 It happened, one fine morning, that a number of the lady monkeys and parrots and Cassowaries and pheasants and birds-of- paradise and other fowl had arranged to hold a secret meet ing to discuss the subject of Woman Suffrage for the lady inhabitants of the Jungle.
 Not a single male was to be admit ted. Indeed no! Each lady-bird was to agree with every other lady-bird as to course of action-arld then go home and brow-beat her husband un- til he saw the matter her way and was willing to grant all lady-birds a vote in the affairs of the Jungle.
 Well. the news travelled rapidly and when Cassowary heard of it he all but went crazy. The idea! Some thing going on in the Jungle and he not know anything about it! Ridicu- lous! The more he thought of 1t, the more curious he became. Indeed he could not sleep for thinking of it.

c5oMeMZerecTM6 FdcZy about
 TOADey

TT would be rather an unusual
 thing for one to read such an ad-
 verrisement as this in the papers:
 "Toads supplied to farmers at reasonable prices,' but 1t may come to pass in the very near future, for the rearing of toads would be of serv- ice to the farmer in particular and to the general public through the farmer.
 It has been scientifically proved that the common hop-toad-the sort which naughty little boys love to chase about with clods and stones-is the greatest bug destroyer. And while speaking of the boy in connection with the hop-toad, I must warn him against killing such a good. friend as MT. Hoppy Toad. Should all the toads suddenly disappear, our gardens and flowers would suffer greatly at the onslaught of various kinds of insects. Therefore, for ones own welfare-if not for a humane cause-be kind and considerate of the well-being of the little garden toad. He helps to fur nish your table with vegetables. fruits and flowers, in that he devours the insects by the millions which would otherwise devour them.
 It has been estimated that every hop toad in the farmers garden Is worth to him s5 a year on account of the cut-worms alone, not mentioning other insects, both creeping and f1y- ing, for the toad Is something of an epicure and loves variety of dishes. He eats few cut-worms, takes some potato bugs on the side and finishes with flies and gnats for dessert And sometimes his meal contains even a greater variety.
 The rearing of toads is easy enough If there is a pond or a pool of water which does not dry up during the summer. This water is all that the toad needs for supplying large fam fly of his own kind, and before one scarcely realizes it, there will be hun dreds of these little assistants to the agriculturist, working overtime, for MT. Hoppy Toad Is a voracious eater and begins with the dawn to catch his worms and flies and bugs, and con- tinues till long after the sun has gone down. He has no "hours," for all the time that it Is light enough to see an insect helps to form his work ing day.
 If the destroying little ants get start in your yard or garden, and you find 1t almost impossible to ret rid of them, put few toads about among their hills and then rest assured that soon no ant will remain to dis under your flower bed or to undermine your vegetable bed. The toad seems to relish ants immensely. anl as long as

 which little Donald was staring
 in open -mouthed amazement. al - it's queer inhabitant read:
 "Helmeted Cassowary (Casuarius galeatus) habitat Australia and the Island of Ceram. A very fleet os- trich-Iike rattle bird having a horny helmet or excrescence on the head Very short wings with four to five barbless, spine-like shafts. The neck Is more or less bare and carunculated The inner toe has a long claw; and the legs are stouter and shorter than in the ostrich, while the plumage is loosely webbed and forms a hair-like covering"
 All of which, no doubt. young read CT, is as plain to you as the nose on your face. But it wasn't to little Don- ald Indeed, he couldn't even read much less understand a single word of it. But, for all that, he found the strange bird a most interesting crea- ture.
 It's big, ungainly, horny toes-three of them on each foot-were most fas- cinating as they were lifted up and down--up and down. Then, too, there were the vivid red and blue scraggly feathers on his head and neck and his sharp. piercing black eyes which looked for all the world like the buttons on his mothers shoes.
 But most of all, Donald was inter- ested in a huge, thick sharp pointed bone, or helmet, that stuck straight up on top of the Cassowary's head and in two brilliant red wattles, or pieces of scaly flesh that hung down from his throat. somewhat as do the wattles of the turkey gobbler. They were so ugly and sore looking and So--
 Well well, here we are again. piped up a thin, high, yet jolly little voice right beside him. And look ing at my old friend the Cassowary. Well, we'll"
 Now Donald wasn't in the least startled, for he had heard that voice many times before and knew it must be his comrade tried and true. the Old Man of the Woods.
 "Oh. goody-goodyi" cried little Don aid, clapping his hands and sitting right down on the ground before the enclosure. "I'm so glad to see you Mr. Old Man-you tell me such dandy stories about the animals!'
 The Old Man of the Woods smiled delightedly. He was very fond of all children but particularly of Donald.
 All right, young man." he said '1'll take a seat right beside you and tell you about my old friend Casso- wary Of course. you understand, il wasn't this Cessowary in front of us, but his great-great-am mlilion-time great-great- grandfather. And I'll tell you why the Cassowary has that fun ny looking comb on top of his head. But, alas, it is sad, sad story. Don ald"
 The twinkle In the Old Mans eye, however, belied that last remark. And this is what he told Donald:
 Way, way back in the good old days, Donald, l was Lord of the Jungle; and all the animals and birds and beasts and snakes lived together like one big family. Now Cassowary was a most unpleasant fellow. Not that he was wicked or mean or cruel
