Some birds which puzzled the STU

They are very nervous little fellows
and keep jumping from limb to Limb
so that it is difficult to make accur-

several chickadees rewarded the close
scrutiny Of the patient ones. The

friends, as indeed he has.
At breakfast time, a campfire was
built and proved to be a very cheer
full adjunct, not only for breakfast,
when the savory bacon was cooked
upon long sticks hung over the leap
ing flames, but also to remove the
last traces Of the chilly feeling which
the frosty air Of the early morning
had induced. After breakfast the
young men Of the party gave an eX-
hibition in egg catching which was
very s~killfully conducted for several
minutes, but at length one Of the
abused eggs went the way Of all their
clan, and a yellow spot was all that
remained to mark the place where
they had struck. This laughaDle en-
hibition caused much merriment
among the young people. The great.

A little more healthy sqepticism On
the part OF automobile buyers would
profit them greatly according TO Mr..
Moore, the local Hudson distributor.
Most people are too ready to bssieve
all they hear. They accept az face
value wildly. improbable stories, and
perfectly absurd statements made to
them by statesmen. The result is they
are carried off their feet, lose their
sense Of good business judgment and
later are bitterly disappointed. A
trap that catches many is the rule Of
the big trading allowance. Yet every
buyer knows, if he would but apply
his good business sense, that old mot
or-cars have as definite and fixed, a
value on the market as have other ar
ticles. One dealer rarely can sci a
used car for a much different figure
than can his neighbor. Therefore
there must be some secondary motive
or condition that leads one dealer to
offer a much higher trading price han
his neighbor. A little thought usually
will demonstrate that there is a fcti-
tious list price on the new car. Or
the dealer vii the big price has some
other way of making up the difference.
