That is the reason that l insist that
every night when we go to bed every
member of my flock shall be facing
out. You know we always sleep in a
circle close together with our tails
pointing to the middle. 1t isn't often
that we are disturbed in the night. but
when we are we fly instantly, and be-
cause we are all headed in different di-
rections we never have any trouble
getting in each others way. When We
go to sleep we don't expect trouble,
but if it comes we are all ready for it.
We are prepared.
Peter thought this over for few
minutes before he ventured to say: II
suppose YOU are right. Bob, and that
what you say is wisdom. 1t sounds
SO the way you say it. but somehow
can't bother my head about things that
may not happen. 1t is beautiful day
and I'm enjoying it, so what is the
good of worrying about tomorrow"
II don't. worry about tomorrow. re-
turned Bob White. but | try to be
ready for Whatever tomorrow may
bring, and that's very different mat
ter 1t is beautiful day. and I'm
enjoying il just as much as you are.
Just the same. that doesn't blind me
to the fact that there is cloud behind
which jolly NJ sun will go to reach
the Purple Hills behind which he
sleeps. and SO ! don't think | will go
to sleep under the snow as usual to-
night
"Why not" demanded Peter. looking
over toward the cloud THAT cloud
may near little rain, but | don't be-
lieve it does. Even if it does you
would never know it down under the
snow"
And then supposing the weather
turned cold. very cold while / was
asleep down there under the snow
said Bob White. softly.
Well. supposing it did" returned
Peter, who couldn't see for the life Of
him what Bob White was driving at
Nothing much. only you proba bly,
never would see me or any of my fam
lily again. said Bob. Rain on this
snow followed by cold weather will
make a crust. and if we were caught
asleep under ii we would starve to
death. Now do you see?''
bered how Mrs. Grouse had been
caught in just that way in the Green
Forest the winter before and would
have starved to death had not Farmer
Browns Boy found h,r. But if you
don't sleep down in the snow as you
usually do, where will you Sleep" he
demanded.
That's secret replied Bob. "Of
course, it may not rain tonight, and
if it does it NAV not freeze, but some
thing inside tells me that it will do
both. So when / and my flock go to
bed we will be prepared. 1t is always
wisdom and never foolishness to be
prepared. Now ] must hurry over and
toll Mrs. Bob and the others that we
are going TO bed in new place to-
night"
With sharp whir of stout little
wings Bob few over to where his
flock was busily picking seeds from
the tops of dead weeds just showing
above the snow, leaving Peter to won
der if Bob was as weather wise as he
seemed to think and to wonder even
more where Bob and his ia mily would
sleep or could sleep without danger OF
being made prisoners by the crust if
it did freeze in the night.

CIVIL SERVICE PENSION
BILLS TO Be TAKEN UP
Senator Pomerene Declares Con-
tributory Plan Alone Stands
Chance of Enactment.

Senator Pomerene of Ohio chairman
OF the Senate committee on civil service
and retrenchmeut, who returned to
Washington today from Ohio, said he
intended 10 get his committee together
soon TO consider the various bills for
civil service retirement which have
been introduced, including one that he
submitted to the Senate just before he
left here a week ago. Senator Pom
creme also plans to address the Senate
on the subject of civil service retire
ment, although he has not vet given
notice of the day on which he will
speak.
Senator Pomerene's bill is framed on
the contributory plan. by which the
government employees will contribute a
certain percentage of their salaries TO
build UP their own annuities.
Only Plan Which Has Chance.
He said today that. in his opinion. the
only plan which has the slightest
chance OF being enacted into law is the
contributory plan.
The country Is strongly against
straight civil pensions" said Senator
Pomerene, and the civil service en-
ployes who are urging straight pen
sion might as well make up their minds
10 that fact. They should reflect also
tnat there probably are ten men for
each civil service Job who would like
to take that job without any pension

WANT ORDER MODIFIED.
Agricultural Department Employees
Seek Change in Rule-Secre-
tary Houston Explains.

An effort is to be made to have modi-
fed the order of the Secretary Of Agri-
culture that no employee of the depart
ment shall engage in outside work out
of office hours without first obtaining
permission of the office of the Secre-
tary. This order, which has no counter
part in any of the other departments,
some of the clerks maintain is unfair,
since what man does with his time out
side OF office hours is none of the bust
ness OF the deparement. provided he does
his work efficiently while in the depart
ment
Not a New Order.
Secretary Houston today pointed out
that the order in question is not new.
but was promulgated by Secretary
James Wilson September %, 1905, and
there have been no substantial changes
in it since that date. The idea in
originally issuing it, he said. was TO
follow up the civil service rules.
Mr.. Houston said that he gets many
requests from employees of the depart
ment to engage in outside activities
which are SO similar to their work in
the department as to bring the two
ask to be allowed to engage in outside
work which, in the opinion of the
chiefs, would take up too much time.
When these two conditions are prop
erly met, Secretary Houston declares
it is merely matter of routine to get
his permission to engage in outside
work.
