Mothers Doll Story
The Pet Owl

Once upon a time there was a lot
Of cousins who had great fun playing
in big barn. They used to run and
jump off the great NOW right into the
sweet, hot hay. And when they were
tired Of playing hide and go seek they
used to swing from the great beams
and drop right down on to the floor,
all soft with hayseed. r
One day the biggest boy found a
young owl perched high up in the peak
Of the barn on big beam.
Young owls can't see very well, you
know. So the biggest boy picked the
young owl right up in his hand and
carried him into the house.
ooh, mother" he cried, could you
make Jack a rag owl to play with? Be
cause he just lost his willow whistle,
you know"
Now, their mother was very clever
with sewing things, so she cut some
brown cloth In just the shape Of the
young owl and stuffed it. She en-
broidered a beak and neck feathers
and sewed two bright buttons among
them for eyes. And when it was all
finished the biggest boy let the real
young owl fly away into little tree,
where he hooted his thanks.

Superfluous Verbiage.

1t was Sunday evening and likewise
his first call. She was entertaining
him at the piano, and he was not fond
Of music. OF course she couldn't be
expected to know that, poor girl! She
was not particularly accomplished, but
she didn't know what else to do, and
he hadn't suggested anything. So she
played on and on, occasionally skip
ping a few bars that she didn't re-
member and trusting to luck. Finally
from sheer WEAKNESS and to make con-
versation she turned to him and said:
Papa thinks it is wicked for me to
play the piano on Sunday"
Papa is certainly right" he replied
YEARLY. But why does he-er-speci-
fy Sunday?"
1t Is perhaps needless to record that
he was never again invited to that lit

A Hard Face.

Bobby's papa, who is naval officer,
took him to call upon the family of
brother officer who had just returned
from a cruise to the tropics.
Among the treasures exhibited was
a large red and blue parrot, whose ap-
pearance and converse tional powers
proved most fascinating to the little
boy. While the grownups were engag-
ed in talking over old times Bobby, left
to his own devices, drew nearer to the
parrots cage, bent Oh making friends.
Presently there was squawk from
the parrot and little frightened cry
from Bobby, who ran to his father,
exhibiting a bleeding forefinger.
The little man was brave, though, as
befitted the son Of a sailor. He brushed
away his tears and said:
