There was very noisy meeting IN
the woods one day. The BIRDS were
all there and each one was trying to
tell his story.
HE stole my eggs" said one blue
bird.
HE took my babies when they were
too young to fly away from the nest,
said blackbird.
"He set trap for me by putting
some crumbs under q sieve raised on
a stick tied to string" said another.
Something will have to be done,
, said Robin Redbreast. He must De

Il should like to pick out his eyes"

| should be made to suffer; he makes us
suffer, and is spelling our summer
Leave it to me-" said a solemn
| voice. II can not see in the daytime.
and you all poke fun at me and call
me stupid, but at night l can work
while you sleep, and you let me take
this Bonnie boy in hand who has
caused you all so much suffering.
It was the Owl who spoke, and they
all felt sorry and ashamed that they
had ever called him stupid, for he was
the only one who had any plan for pun
ishing the bad boy who had robbed
their nests.
What are you going to do with
him." asked one 1--WE want to be
there when he is punished; we want
to see him suffer"
ooh. we can not punish him the
way you want him punished" said the
Owl; 1--WE can do him no bodily harm.
but he can be frightened, and II you
/ are willing, leave it to me; I will cure
his nest robbing.
ut will have to be done at night,
and none of you can keep awake
said the Owl, "for it will be very dark
when Benny boy comes into the or
chard."
"Orchard?" repeated the Robin. I'll
be there; I live In one OF the trees IN
the orchard"
I'VE will all be there" said the 9th
ers. II guess we can keep awake as
late as that boy is out"
When it was getting dark that night
all the birds met at the tree where the
Owl lived and he led the way to the
tree in the orchard where he expected
Bonnie Boy, who had robbed the birds
nests.
The birds chirped and sang and tried

Owl laughed to himself at their ef'
forts. "They will all be sound asleep
by the time he gets here; knew they
could not keep awake" he said.
One by one the birds dropped OFT
to sleep, and when the moon came up
the only one awake was the Owl.
BY and by two boys came creeping
carefully over the wall from the road
and crent In the tree
1.-THE biggest apples are on this
tree" said one. II saw them when
was up there getting a nest"
''Ah, that is Bonnie Boy" thought
the Owl. Nov to frighten him"
There is another nest l want In
this tree" said Bennie boy. 1--WE will
both climb up; you get the apples and
will get the nest"
Up they came; the old Owl closed
his eyes and waited until both boys
were right near him and then he open
ed his eyes wide and said, "Whoo,
whoo-o," right close to their heads. He
made such a noise that all the other
birds awoke and in the moonlight saw
the boys.
There he isl" they screamed That
Bonnie boy who steals our nests and
eggs! Pick him! Pick him.
"Whoo, whoo!" said the Owl flap.

AUTOMOBILE FEES FOR ROADS THROUGH.
OUT THESE UNITED STATES.

Ninety per cent Of the registration and license
fees paid in 1913 in the United States by auto
mobilists was spent for the construction and
maintenance of county and state roads, accord
ing to a compilation just published by the office
of public roads of the agricultural department at
Washington, ID. C. There were 2,445,664 motor
vehicles registered in 1916 and their owners
paid total Of S1S,245,713 for registrations and
drivers and dealers licenses. Automobile fees
now defray nearly per cent Of the total amount
spent on rural road and bridge building In 1906
the income from this source was less than three
tenths of per cent Of the total expenditure
There is great inequality in the registration
fees charged by the different states. The aver
age for the United States was STAG Vermont
secured in 1915 a gross revenue of $3.50 for
each motor car, while Minnesota received only
about fifty cents. In Texas and South Carolina
no annual registration fees are collected.
II is the general policy of most of the states
TO apply the major part of the money collected
from automobilists directly to road betterment
Many states in addition to applying license fees
to road construction, expend for this purpose a
large part of the fines and penalties collected
from owners.
New York state led in 1915 in the number of
registrations There were 255,242; Illinois was
second with 1S0,S32; California third with
l63,797; and Pennsylvania fourth with l60,l37.
In gross revenues received from this source,
however California led with s2,027 ,432; New
York was second with 81 99l ,1s1; Pennsylvania
third with $l.665276; while Iowa. with $4,000
cars registered, came fourth in point Of revenue,
with $l5S3.054.
Statistics for Utah are not as yet made pub
lie, but II Is expected soon TO be compiled.

"Actuaries of the New York City Pension
commission note that TO pension the women en-
ployes of New York at the rate of only one dollar
per year after they pass 60 years of age, il will
be necessary 10 put at 4 per cent interest the
amount of $ll.39 for each one, and for the men
employed by the city on the same basis an am
cunt equal 10 Sll.3l. They also figure that to
pay every working person in the United States
an annual pension of five hundred dollars after
the age of go years, reserve of SlSOOOO,OO0,-
900 would be necessary. This is based upon the
assumption that there are thirty million such
persons TO be pensioned in the country. The an
nual cost of plan of that kind would be more
than the average increase each year OF the total
wealth of the country, and would consequently
mean eventual bankruptcy" says the Weekly
Insurance Underwater. I'm comparison il may
be noted that the federal pension system, which
is now on the decline through the decrease in
survivors Of the civil war, at the height Of its
payments cost the country each year about
$3.50, Oo00 900, and that the total payments for
federal pensions up to date are in the neighbor-
hood of $6O00,O0O 900. This amount, however,
never paid more than seven hundred and fifty
thousand pensions per year"

ESTATES OF OUR RICH ARE VERY OFTEN
MUCH OvERESTIMATED.
an

Bradstreet's thinks that mistaken ideas often
prevail as TO the size Of the estates which prom
inent individuals leave behind them. Instances
where the possessions Of wealthy decedents have
been underestimated are not uncommon. but the
general tendency Is towards exaggeration In
such matters. This has proved true in regard
TO the estate Of the late John Pierpont Morgan.
which the New York authorities have finally APP
praised for inheritance tax purposes az $751;
l49.024, exclusive Of property. the value Of which
Is not stated outside of the state. The figures
in question however. fall short by at least TWEEN
ty-five million Of those at which the deceased
financier's possessions were currently estimated.
The largest item in the published inventory COM
prises Morgan's interests in his banking firms
in New York and Philadelphia. which are placed
at S29,S75,S47 the second in point of Importance
being the stocks and bonds, appraised at $751;
933 ,95i, while his famous art collections to-
gether with the contents OF his remarkable H.
brary represent an aggregate value Of Sl2,733,-
9s6. the real estate holdings being put down at
S2970,946 Examination of the inventory of
Moryan's Investments reveals some curious
facts, one Of the most striking Of which is that
the master of the American financial world held
a considerable amount-some S7,000,0O0-oi
bonds or stocks of dubious value. II is also note
worthy that his individual holdings of United
States Steel securities were limited TO five hun
dred shares of the common and one share of the
preferred stock of the organization in question.
