carefully and neatly twisted round the
part where the limb was fractured in
such way as to prove that they had
been put on Intentionally as a bandage
or splint, and the repairs have been
made quite as skillful as if performed
by qualified surgeon.
A we'll known naturalist actually
watched woodcock through his

some clay and. after working it into a
paste with its beak, smeaSSd it round

Golf Balls,

History tells us that at first golf balls
were nothing but round or nearly
round pebbles about the size of the
sphere used at present. These were
supplanted by the hand cut wooden
balls and then in turn by the feather
ball. Then came the gutta percha ball.
Of which an interesting story is told
1t is said caddie in Scotland picked
up discarded football shoe with Il
gutta percha sole and tore off the sole
This he soaked in water until it was
soft and then nodded it with his hands
to the size of a golf ball Thence it
was only step to the nodded and
hammered gutta percha balls. which
endured until as late as 1898, when the
rubber cOred ball was first brought out
in the United States.
The rubber cored ball. the foundation

years later, and it is interesting to note
that in 1905 Aleck Herd. who was the

The Rope Scratched His Throat.

they said, but he felt sure they were
talking about him.
"Let them talk he said II can run
faster than any Of them, and that is
what counts, and what is the use of
scratching when those old hens know
just where all the fat worms are? They
ought to give me one once in while"
But Chicken Young would have been
wiser if he had listened to what the
wise old hens were saying, instead of
thinking he was so clever himself, for
Gray Hen had thought of a plan to
teach him lesson.
eff we can get an end of the clothes
line,'' said she, "just about the length
of worm, we can bury it in the
ground, and when Chicken Young is
watching, one of us can scratch and
pick it up. He will jump at it, of
course, because it would look so nice
and plump, then we will laugh at him
and ask him how he likes a rope
worm
''The very thing said White Hen.
''Here comes the dog. We will ask him
to bite us off a piece of the clothes
line"
The dog thought it would be good
joke, and he soon had the rope for
them, and when Chicken Young went
down the road for walk they buried
the rope.
A little later when ne came in the
yard Gray Hen was busy scratching.
"She always finds a fat worm" said
Chicken Young, stealing up behind her,
and his eyes nearly popped out of his
little head when he saw what he
thought was the largest worm he had
ever seen dangling from her bill.
Quick as flash he snatched it from
Gray Hen, and then, thinking she
might run after him because it was an
extra large worm, he swallowed it.
The rope scraped his throat and
choked him, and he jumped about and
tapped his wings, stretching his neck,
his mouth wide open, and gasping for
breath.
The hens had not expected him to
swallow it, and they rushed out from
all sides, looking very much fright
ened.
"Slap him on the back" said Gray
Hen, "it has stuck in his throat"
"Shake him by the feet" said an
other, and, after vigorous slapping
and pounding, the piece of rope slipped
down his throat and Chicken Young
sank upon the ground exhausted.
81 guess you will be little more
careful next time said Gray Hen,
"and look before you leap"
"Stolen fruits are not always the
sweetest" said White Hen. Perhaps
you will scratch for yourself next
time" Chicken Young did not reply
to these remarks, but lay very quiet
with open mouth.
"He is young" said Gray Hen, and
has learned lesson, am sure; let us
take him to the pan Of water and give
him a drink; that is what he needs"
Gray Hen helped on one side and
White Hen on the other and they stood
Chicken Young on his feet. After he
had drunk the water he tapped his
