wife and mother the mystery Of life.

Of decking our daughters In glisten-

field Of wifehood.
Eficiency and self-denial are two

and we are teaching our girls this
fact. Girls are beginning to under
stand that II they are efficient they
will not have to be if-sacrificing.
And as one by one the daughters Of

The Barred Owl

Owls, like Crows, Flycatchers and
doubtless many other birds, disgorge
the indigestible parts OF their food In
the form of pellets" OF ''castings I"
These may be gathered in numbers
at the roosting- places and ezamina-
tion Of their contents gives an excel.
lent idea of the birds food.
In the case of the Barred Owl, the
large, mooth-headed and dark-eyed
"Hoot OwP' of our low woods and
swamps, these pellets are about the
size of a mans thumb. They are
usually composed of a matted mass
of grayish fur enclosing the bones
and other hard remains of the prey
The diet of this Owl is more varied
than that of any other of our species
AS In all these, with the exception Of
the Great Horned Owl, mice Of
various kinds form the staple article
OF food. While the Barred Owl
catches relatively fewer OF these
small rodents than some OF our Owls.
yet the number of the destructive
Pine Mice captured Is proportionately
greater. Being a woodland hunter. as
indicated by Its short, rounded wings
and rather long tail, II preys on such
arboreal animals as Squirrels, par
ticularly the Flying Squirrel Owing
to It's large size, exceeded only by the
Great Horned Owl among our local
species, It Is able to capture FULL
grown Cottontails and the smaller
kinds Of Owls. such as the Saw whet.
Screech, and even the Long-eared.
The frequency with which Moies.
both the common and star-nosed. are
found In the pellets, indicates that
these burrowing creatures are regu-
lar item Of Its food. or birds II de-
stroys relatively few. In addition 10
the lesser Owls II captures various
small birds, including sparrows- blue
lays and woodpeckers, but seldom
take game or poultry.
This Owl is also fond Of snakes. fish
and frogs. the last being consumed
In large numbers In early spring;
while certain insects, such as the
large water beetle. Dytiscus. and May
beetles. Lachnosterna, add variety to
its bill Of fare.

Dorothy waited until the three
were very quiet, and then she said.
Dancing Sunshine, as | told you
before. was the daughter of the
chief Black Frown. She was his
only child and he was very proud
of her. but he was always wishing
that she had been a boy, so that
she could have grown up to be q
wonderful chief like himself
He never told Dancing Sunshine
this, but she guessed 1t. and it used
to make her very unhappy at times
She used TO run and jump and climb
trees. and try to do everything that
the boys in the camp did. so that
her father would not mind quite so
much. He would watch her some
times with a smile. and then he
would sigh and turn away and
Dancing Sunshine would forget TO
act Ike a boy, and go of and cry

Pretty soon. though. she would
cheer up. because she had a happy
nature. And she would catch a
rabbit and make II into a wonderful
stew. to please her poor. sad father.

they get them.
