She had to eat them all alone, as the

things. The only thing Susie could

ice cream. made with snow. maple
syrup and hickory nuts ground up fine
This was very good
| Susie had grand time at the party,

; and other good things had been eaten,
she and the squirrels played Ring

Ring Around the Rosy" mixed up to-

almost forgot to go to the cabbage
field store. But she did 60 there,

"Over there said Sammie, pointing
toward the burrow
"Can you take me there" asked the
cat, and she wiggled her whiskers
and licked her nose with her tongue.
for she was hungry.
yes, I'll show you" agreed Sam
mie, and he led the cat toward the
burrow. Now, he did not know any
better. for he did not stop to think
that cats will eat rabbits. And the
cat was just thinking how easily she
had provided good dinner for her
self when Jane Fuzzy-Wuzzy, who was,
peeping out of the front door Of the
burrow, saw pussy. The muskrat
knew at once that the cat had come.
to eat the little rabbits and the big
ones, too, and the only reason she did
not eat Sammie was because she want
ed more of meal. SO the nurse
showed her sharp teeth and the cat
ran away But she knew where the
burrow was. and this was bad thing,
for she might come back again in
the night, when Sammie and Susie
were asleep.

SUSIE GOES TO 4 PARTY.


Up and down the big oak tree
! scampered the squirrels, bringing nuts
and acorns from hollows. where they
had been hidden all winter.
Hey, Bushytail." cried the squirrel
whom Susie knew. addressing anoth-
! er who was on the ground at the
foot Of the stump, bring up a big
leaf
What do you want with a big leaf?"
inquired the squirrel who was called
+ Bushytail.
=; Susie Littletail is going to stay to
, the party" replied the squirrel who
was giving it, and l want the leaf
| for place for her. She will need a
large one" ~
Up the old stump climbed Bushy-
tailwith the leaf in his mouth and he
put it in vacant place. The stump
was quite large enough for the squir-
rels and rabbit to move about upon
and still leave room for the table to
be set Susie saw the squirrels plac-
ing nut meats on the different plates
and putting oak-leaf tea into the acorn
cups Suddenly the squirrel whom
Susie knew and whose name was Mrs.
Lightfoot. exclaimed:
There. l never thought OF that"
Thought of what?" asked Susie.
why we haven't anything that you
like to eat. You don't care for nuts
do you?"
Not very much" answered Susie,
who wanted to be polite, yet she still
wanted to tell the truth.

asked you to the party and now there
is nothing you like. It's too bad, for
want you to have a good time!'
IL could go to the cabbage field
store and get some leaves. and |
could bring some carrots and eat
them,'' suggested Susie.
Eyes. but it wouldn't be right to ask
you to party and then have you
bring your own things to eat" object
ed Mrs. Lightfoot.
That's what they do at surprise
parties went on Susie. who had
heard Uncle Wiggily Longears tell OF
one he had once attended. 1t was CIV
en- by chipmunk.
YES. but this isn't surprise party" "
said Mrs. Lightfoot. Il don't know
what to do
I'VE can pretend it's a surprise par

very much surprised when you asked
me to come to It."
We're you. indeed?' inquired the
squirrel. Then a surprise party it
shall be. Listen!'' she called TO the
other squirrels: this is surprise
party for Susie Littletail.''
.'Humph. l don't call this sur.
prise" grumbled an old squirrel.
whose tail had partly been shot on.
But nobody minded him, as he was
always grumbling. So Susie went

STATE CLEANUP DAY.

The state of Rhode island appoint
ed October IA as cleanup day and a
considerable improve ment resulted.
One of the special features was the re-
moval of many advertising signs along
highways, from fences, trees, poles or
other conspicuous points. In several
counties. loads of waste lumber con-
sisting of what had formerly been
large signs. were distributed as fuel
among the poor. A special statute
passed last spring gives any person
the right to tear down and destroy all
signs of an advertising nature hung
along public highway in the state of
Rhode Island

A MIsNAMEp RIVER.

The Colorado river was reached by
two of the early Spanish explorers
from Mexico in 1910. One Of the ex.
plorers was Melchior Diaz, who came
across country and went only short
distance above Yuma, and the other
was fernando de Alarcon, who came
in boats from western Mexico. Owing
to the custom Of the natives Of carry

present one. which often causes con.
siderable confusion because no part OF

1o1s BIRD COUNT.

One hundred and tWenty-IOuT pdii
of birds nest and raise their famlles
IN the average farm of 10S acres in
the northeastern states. according 10
estimates based upon second annual
bird count conducted by the biological
survey of the U. 8. department OF agrl'
culture. In that part of the plains re-
pion east of the one hundredth merid-
ian the counts would indicate almost
texactly the same density of bird popu-
iatjon. 1875 pairs of nesting birds to
each 100 acres. In the southern states
where the counts were limited to the
mart of the farm surrounding the home,
which naturally supports more birds
than tiled areas. there seem to be on
the farms where counts were taken
131 pairs of nesting birds to each 100
acres. The counts so far received, how
ever. from these sections do not fur
njsh a sufficient basis for estimating
the birds on the remainder OF the
farm.
In the northeastern states 1t was
estimated that the average bird popu.
]ation of each 100 acres OF isolated
woodland under, observation was 19s
pairs. while the average bird popula'
tion for each 100 acres of the area COW
cred was 125 pairs. The reports from
the Rocky Mountain states would in
dictate that the bird population Is
smaller in this section.
Three SO-acre tracts in New Mexico
indicated seventeen pairs to eighty
acres. or twenty-one pairs to each 100
acres. Still farther west in the irrigat-
ed district of western Colorado two
l,ot
orchard and in fields of grain and root
crops supported bird population OF
sixty-six pairs per 100 acres, but on
contiguous non-irrigated land the bird
life shrank to five pairs for 100 acres.
. In Arizona forty acre tract contain
ing only a few houses and for the most
part covered with desert shrubs. show.
ed bird population Of fifty pairs OF
twenty-six species, of which twenty
two were insectivorous. A semi-desert
tract OF the same size, covered with
brush mostly less than six feet high,
showed thirty-one pairs of sixteen
species. In the mountains of Arizona,
near Flagstaff, tract of seventy acres
covered with yellow pine and Gambel
oak supported bird population OF
thirty-one pairs of eighteen species.
In California twenty acres or the
campus of the University of California
showed eighty-seven pairs of twenty
three species. A tract near Gilroy, Cal
containing thirty acres Of fruits and
about eight acres of pasture and creek
bottom. gave the unusual figure of 176
pairs of thirty-four species on thirty
eight acres. similarly dense, though
less varied. bird population was found
in a fifty-two acre peach orchard near
Port Clinton, Ohio. This showed los
Airs of common farm birds. thirty
six pairs of purple martins and six

The GOVERNMENT AS RAILROAD
BUILDER IN ALASKA.

The Alaskan government railway
system, which the president OF tne
United States was authorized to build
by special act Of congress, involves
mileage for the main line from Sew
ard to Fairbanks of 466 miles, with a
branch to the Matanuska coal fields
thirty-eight miles in length. or total
of 5O4 miles. At. the end OF the con-
struction season of 1916, 132 miles
Of line were available for operation OF
trains and eighty-five miles represent
cd new construction The cost OF COM
struction for the system was estlmat-
cd by the Alaskan engineering com.
mission at $25,642.71S, exclusive OF
rolling stock, and up to october l.,
1916, appropriations by congress hao
amounted to $11,O0O,OOO.
It will be recalled that the president
was authorized to locate, construct anu
operate railways in the territory OF
Alaska so as to conect one or more
of the Pacific ocean harbors with the
nayigabie waters and mineral fields OF
the interior. Accordingly surveys
were made under the direction OF the
Alaskan engineering commission, con-
sistine of William G. Edes, chairman;
Frederick Hears and Thomas Riggs,
1r and on April 10, 1915, President
Wilson issued an executive order des-
ignating the route selected by the COM
mission. which began at Seward, on
the westerly shore of Resurrection
bay and proceeded in general nortn-
eriy direction by way of Renal lake.
Kern creek, the Susitna and Chulitna
rivers to Broad pass. and thence
through the Nenana river basin to the
Tanana river, with the northern ter
minal at Fairbanks. Two miles above
the crossing OF the Matanuska river
a branch lire thirty-eight miles in
length was to be built to the Matanus-
ka coal fields, whose output was par,
ticularly needed for the economic and
mining development Of Alaska. Fur
thermore, as an essential part OF the
new system the Alaska Northern rail-
way. extending from Seward to Kern
river on Turnagain Arm of Cook inlet,
was purchased at a cost of $l,l5O,OoV.
