The Greedy Birds

Birds are busy creatures, for all
they find so much time to sing. and
they pay great deal more attention
to their stOmachs than the poets ever
mention. You will come closer to the
facts in those government bulletins
which report the finding OF two thou
sand mosquitoes in the stomach of a
single marten, and similar interesting
discoveries. than in the poets pages.

bird can eat, but | know it is more
than care to spare from the vines in
my own garden, where pair of cat
birds who nest each year in red-Osier
dogwOod beneath my study window
love to feed. Out in our abandoned
clearing, however, | do not hegrudge
them the berries, which grow in a
corner where the farmer made
his last cutting of timber. Many
time l have lain on the ground on the
slope in fruiting season and watched
catbird darting back and forth to
these vines, as if his appetite was in
satiable, his trim gun-metal body TAX

gather some berries for myself. You
would have thought band of human
pickers had been there, to see all the
whitish, thimble-shaped hulls hanging
denuded from their stems. Even as
would put out my hand for red fruit
there would come from the thicket

other birds besides.-Harpers Maya

Delivered the Goods

When the topic turned to kids and
the good old happy school days, a
smile illuminated the features of Con-
gresham Louis Fitzhenry, Of Illinois.
He said he was reminded Of how little
Willie delivered the goods in the mat
ter of constructing sentence.
One day the class in small-sized
grammar was holding forth, when the
youngsters collided with the word
notwithstanding" Immediately the
teacher dropped upon it as a ripe sub
ject for an example.
"Children," said she, with an i'm
pressive glance at the class, 1--WE have
here the word Notwithstanding Can
any little boy or girl give me a SEN
tence containing IT."
Then came a moment of intense 81
lence. Every little mind was churning
hard. Then the hand of Willie Jones
shot up and vigorously wriggled.
1--WE got one, Miss Mary!' exclaimed
Willie, on receiving recognition
Every we'll, WILLIE" smiled the
teacher, encouragingly, "you may tell
1t to the class"
1.-THE mans trousers were worn out
not with standing" was the triumph
ant rejoinder of Willie.

Passed Through at Night

Some years ago writer in Harper S
Monthly told of an old colored man,
Uncle Joshua, who was fond of boast
ing of the travels he had been on with
his master. AS the years passed he
added to the tale of his and "Marse
Richards" travels every town and
country whose names he learned Of.
until the itinerary was indeed mar
velous in extent, and whenever new
person entered the community he i'm
mediately tried to find out how much
of the world he, or she, had visited.
On the advent of the new school
teacher he was heard to accost Deacon
johnson, a member of the board:
well, deacon, what kind of cullud lady
do de new teacher seem ter be?'
"She pears like right smart little
yaller Lady, she do"
HAS she done much travelin, dea-
con, as you know of"
81 nevvah axed her, but ] heah tell
ez how she done been through Latin,
Algebar and But'ny.'
Uncle Joshua was staggered for a
second only, then, recovering himself,
he declared patronizingly. Eyes, yes,
me an Marse Richard parse through
all dem little places in de night time,
but Marse Richard low dey warn with
stoppin' Ovah fur"

A Telephone 1elltale

The good old evening entertainment
of listening on the telephone ,ne on
rural party telephone is soon to be a
thing of the past.
How does this indicator tell who is
butting in?
Why, by means of musical notes.
Every telephone is to be equipped
with an indicator. Every indicator is
equipped with disc with teeth. This
is set in motion the moment the re-
ceiver is taken OF the hook. The
teeth of the disc pick up musical notes
from keynote tongues in the instru.
ment. The high and low notes CORE
spond to the short and low notes Pc
culiar to the telephone that is being
tempered with. Thus, if Bill Jones
ring is a short and two longs, and you
are talking business, and suddenly
hear high and two low notes over
the wire, you will know that Bill Jones
is rubbering in your business.
"Bill Jones, you get off that Ene,'
you can shout to him. 1t is then op-
tional with Bill whether he will get off
the line or fight you duel the next
time you meet him. But you have the
dope on him.
But the indicator does even more
wonderful things than this.
In the first place, when you call
Sam Smith, with Smiths two short
and two long rings, Smith takes down
the receiver, and Immediately you hear
irb
in your receiver. You know at once it
is Smith and not that Buttinsky Jones
who is at the other end. You 60 ahead
to talk business.
Then the indicator gives the length
of the conversation, so that one may
comply with the rules of the company.
When the receiver comes off the hook
it sets the indicator into operation. At
the end of four minutes it runs down.
Then it automatically disconnects you.
That's hint that you have talked
long enough for mere visit. If it is
business, however, and you want to
prolong the conversation, all you have
to do is to press down the lever and
the spring is wound up for another
four minutes.
Again, by this means one call tell
just how long he is using the long dis
lance phone and does not need to
watch the clock or ask central to call
him down when he talks too long.
The indicator will also register the
number of hours in the day, the month
or year the phone is used in a given
home The time when the receiver
is removed and replaced is registered
so that it is possible to tell approx
mately how long the average CONVEX
sation on given phone has been.
This is of immense advantage to the
trouble man when the patrons deny
they ever did anything but obey the
rules scrupulously. He looks at the in
dicator and reads the entire history
of the use and abuse of that phone.
Then he talks from knowledge to the
persons complaining of trouble.-Phil-
adelphia Record.

Naming the Redwood Tree

The giant redwood tree, which now
grows only in California, is called the
sequoia-and this is the reason why:
In the very long ago there once lived
a Cherokee Indian named Sequo Yah,
who invented an Indian alphabet He
not only invented it, but he taught it
to the other Cherokees by writing 1t
out on leaves, and this peculiar form
of literature was in general use in that
tribe long before the white man knew
of it. In 1928 the missionaries adopted
it, and utilized it in a magazine which
they published for the red men.
Sequo Yah was banished from Ala.
bama with the other members of his
tribe. and settled in New Mexico,
where he died in 1S43.
In 1876, when Endlicher was pre-
pairing his synopsis of the cone-bearing
trees, he heard of the Indian literary
genius, Sequo Yah, and decided to ded-
icate to his memory the great redwood
tree of California. Thus he called it
sequoia.
A regularity about this tree is that
in former years it was found all over
the world, but now grows only in Cal
Popular Magazine.

Followed Him

Little Jack wanted a dog-an Irish
terrier, for choice-but doubt existed
in the mind of his fond mother as to
whether it would be wise to introduce
one into the house on account of the
cats dislike for the canine race in
general.
Still muttering wishes and threats
under his breath, Jack departed for
school with look Of dire determine
iton on his face.
As dinner time drew near his moth
er was, as usual, standing at the win
dow in order to watch the young hope
full approaching the house. To her
horror, she beheld him hauling on a
rope to which was attached wild and
woody terrier The dog was firmly re-
sistipg Jacks efforts and sQuatted
back on his launches, allowing itself
to be towed.
Mother left the window and awaited
developments. In a shott while Jack
entered the room, still Juggling at the

The Ferocious Giraffe

A menagerie that had been exhibit

by cyclone and its live stock was
blown loose and flew away.

The darkey departed and about a
half hour later there was a sudden
commotion on the front porch of the
store. the door was thrust open and
in came the colored man, putting and
wild-eyed and pulling on rope. At
the other end of the rope, squirming
and snarling was an enormous Nubian
lion-"the fiercest lion in captivity"
according to the show bills.
Oar, mistah white man." exclaimed
the captor, throwing down the rope
and pointing to the lion-"dar's your

ONLY ONE THING

A salesman who recently advised by
brother ambassador of commerce to
call on a certain tradesman with whom
he had nc account. He took the hint,
called on the man and was received
most genially.
MAY ] show you my samples?" in.
quired the salesman.
The tradesman had no objection and
from an insignificant looking bag the
traveller produced quite a surprising
quantity of specimen goods
Well said the affable storekeeper,
when the bag was at last emptied,
there's only one thing ] want today
Out came the order book.
Thank you, Mr. remarked the
salesman, delighted at opening a new
account, "and what is that?'
why" was the reply, Il want to
see how you're going to get all those
samples into that little bag again"

JULES VERNE was born at
Nantes February 8, 1928. His first
literary adventure consisted of some
comedies and much hack work. But
in 1868 he struck new and popular
vein in Acknowledgements the pos
sibilities of present day science and
giving ingenious verisimilitude to
narratives of adventure carried out
by means of marvellous inventions.
His stories have been translated in
to almost every European tongue and
have served as models for hundreds of
authors who sought to make a success
of the pseudo scientific style of fc-
ton.
The best known works by JULES
VERNE are:
