different shadows just look funny,
and they laugh; to others the shad-
ow faces seem strong and noble,
and it makes them want to be
strong and noble too. And the peo-
pie who are making the shadows
never can know where their shad-
ows are falling, or how they look
to the people, so all they do is &C
on, saying the best and doing the
best they can, and just believing
that their shadows will at least
partly show them as they are.
And so every one has his own lit
tie shadow. / have one, and maybe
it is falling right over the page
where you are reading. You have
one; and maybe it is influencing
someone right now. A happy lit
tie girl on the street has one; and
maybe it reaches up into a sad
home and makes the people smile
Just for minute. Every king and
queen has one; and maybe the
shadow of the points on their
crowns fall on different homes and
seem like daggers. President Viii
son has one, and it is reaching
clear across the country.
Shadows-funny little shadows,
and funnier big shadows, with ev-
erybody having one where they can
never be. What are you going to
do with yours? Pm going to keep
mine, and make it behave Just the
best can. wouldn't you?

The loggerheaded shrike is one
of the few birds around here with
a bad name. He is the butcher
bird" and to tell the worst truth
about him first, he does kill other
birds and pin them on thorn until
he is ready to eat them. But his
main diet is on large insects and
field mice, so that he does lots of
good, even if he is cruel.
This old Mr.. Shrike, like most
murderers, isn't very sociable, but
sits all by himself in some lonely
place that is rather overgrown and
thorny, watching for something to
swoop down on He isn't very
big bird, not being as large as a
robin, but he is very strong and
has a huge beak to tear his meat
with. You can tell them by being
all grey and white with black tail
and wings, but especially by the
black patches over both eyes, like
the masks robbers wear.
But shrikes are most interesting
to study. They have perfectly won
derful sight, for when they are
perched up at the top of a high
telephone pole, they have been
known to see little grasshopper
way down on the ground, and
swoop down on it.
Most people say that the shrikes
never make a pleasant sound, but
Ernest Thompson says he has
heard them singing songs that
would be worthy of Cat-bird, in
the springtime For in the early
spring when all the world is grow
ing beautiful, even cross old Mr..
Shrike can show that he too has a
sweetheart, and can sing to her.

u Children's picnic was a great
success last Friday, when Miss
Grace Shera with two assistants,
took the Kindergarten of chautau-
qua down In the Glen from 4 o.
clock to 6 to eat supper. Sixty
seven went and when they were all
tied together along one rope, they
made a line about a square long.
Playing by the animals cages and
watching the monkeys was the
main amusement One Of the boys
played ball with the monkeys and
It was quite exciting, for the mon
keys were very good players
The children ate their lunches
there by the monkey cages, and
some of them thought the mon
keys were laughing at them. But
that didn't hurt their feelings, and
they all were SO happy that they
sang My Country Tis of Thee
and other fayorite songs all the
way home

Dear Juniors:

II have a little shadow that goes
in and out with me-" you know the
rest of that, don't you? But l won
der if you have ever thought much
about it. Do you know what a
shadow is? Different people may
say different things, but the shad-
ow mean is the part of you that
falls where you can never be.
The funny thing about shadows
is that they are always yours but
hardly ever look just like you You
smay be real little. but your shadow
may stretch out half a square and
fall on someone way off from you,
or you may be real tall and think
your shadow ought to reach all over
town, but it may be little bitty
weaseled up thing and hardly af-
feet a person.
And then another thing about
shadows is that the length of them
often depends upon where you are.
II yun are way up on a high hill
your shadow may reach all down
the side of the hill and half across

anything about il

HARD ON THE BOYS

In Rochester so many people are
working in the munition factories
that the stores scarcely can get
clerks to wait on people, especially
ice cream parlors. One store had
such trouble that just few weeks
ago in the hot weather when every
body was wanting cold drinks the
store simply had to close up be-
cause they couldn't get any walters.

Animal No. 6
EveningatGrandpa's

I sit on the porch out at Grandpa's
Just before going to bed,
And watch the light of the fireflies
AS they climb to the sky over
head:
And l wonder if they ever fly down
ward,
Or just fit on till they're dead?
Sometimes l hear a voice hOoting,
From the top of an old hollow
oak;
used to think someone was calling
And very politely I spoke.
But now l just smile in the dark
ness,
For it's an owls only kind of a
joke.
And down at the edge of the pas
Where the wood climbs out of the
Glen,
I seem to see fluttering movements
And flashes of light, now and
then,
And I know it is King Brian Con-
nOrS
At the head of his wee Little
Men"
But Pm not afraid of the Fairies,
For I've magic against any harm,
In my pocket carry some pieces
Of the oak, of the ash and the
thorn
And my knife blade, cold Iron, will
guard me
From any effects of their Charm.
Then Grandma calls out from the
doorway
And / almost jump out of my
skin
She says it is time for the Sandman
And maybe he's already been;
But take Cold Iron to bed with me
Lest the Sandman and Brian Con-
nOrs are kin.

Further COnferencessk

There are indications tonigh0$ that
the American members ofthe cQglmis-
sion might be disposed toscompiy with
the request for further conferences on
the ground that the United States
had nothing to lose by doing so. 1t

administration toward Mexico andtt

ther vs. nothing in the correspond

contnfssabn, nor in the credentials and
instfuctiohs delivered to it's members,
that would preclude consideration Of
tkAssmany other subjects which the
Q1thmissionA made incidental to those
agreed upor in the protocol. In effect,
He suggests thta the protocol be laid
aside for the present and the work of
the commission be directed along
fresh channels.
Although the conditions imposed for
withdrawal of the troops are not to
his liking, he attempts to make it clear
that his chief objection to ratification
is not based on these conditions but
on the fact he could not conscientious
ly sign anything which would place
him in the position Of having appear
ed to sanction the presence even for
a brief time in Mexico Of foreign
troops.

Approval Of Bond Issue
Administration Leaders
Prepare Revenue Bill

The treasury deficit which confronts
the government for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1918, is estimated at about
$1S0,0OO,000. With Secretary McAdoo
the President is working on other
plansifor raising additional revenue.
The President has pointed out that
he believes a bond issue should be
used only to meet temporary and
emergency expenditures. Many of these
have been caused by the Mexican sit
uation. The treasury already has au-
thority by previous acts of Congress
to issue Panama bonds and about
s240,000,000 of these are available.
They would bear three per cent.
Plans for raising the other revenue
are understood to concern the income
tax, an inheritance tax and Special
taxes on internal revenue and imports.
The deficit figures differ according
to Congressional and administrative
viewpoints. Secretary McAdoo esti-
mated in his annual report the actual
deficit in the working balance of the
treasury on June 80, 1918, at $1S5.3S3,-
900, which accounts for appropriations
unexpended combined with the left
over balance. The Congressional ap-
preparations committees, basing their
estimates upon the actual appropria-
tons without regard to whether the
executive departments spend all or
part of the appropriations figures
13,269,654 as the deficit.
