THE W~ooDPEcKER.

The woodpecker bores right thro Ugh
the bark Of trees to get at the bugs
that otherwise might injure them. You
have often admired doubtless the gay
little crest on the woodpecker's bcak.
He is not only a faithful worker, bit a
handsome fellow.
There is a story about the wood
pecker that may please you.
The first woodpecker, according to
the fairy stories, had some gifts that
other woodpeckers seem to have lost.
For instance, he could talk with man.
He wished very much to be friendly
with the human race.
1t happened that near the home of
the w~oodpecker there lived a force
wizard. His castle was In the mic die
Of a big black swamp, and whenever
he walked abroad his breath poisoned
every IN whom he CHANGED to meet.
Many brave men went out to meet
the wizard, but no n was able to
fight against him. Whenever a ST. an
ger came along the wizard would blow
his poisoned breath and kill him.
One day a knight, a very brave sol
der, began to fight the wicked old wiz
ard. He shot once, he shot twice, but
still his arrows failed to do harm. The
wizard hooted and laughed at the
knights poor craftsmanship. The ar
rows glanced off the wizards skin as il
it were steel.
AT last the knight had only three ar
rows left. He had vainly sent several
dozen at the wizard. He was almost
ready to give up, which would have
meant his death, for the bad wizard
would then have certainly killed him.
Suddenly a wee small voice called
down TO the knight: His heart is too
hard 70 pierce. Shoot your arrows at
his forehead"
The knight looked up, and, 10, it was
the friendly woodpecker who had spo-
ken.
After thanking the bird the knight
fitted an arrow to his bow and sent it
straight at the wizards head. 1t CASH
ed the flesh. and the blood began to
flow. A second time the knight shot.
and the arrow went still deeper. At
the third shot the wizard fell dead.
Then the knight called the little
woodpecker down from the tree. A
drop of blood from the wizards fore
head fell upon his feathers-right on
top OF his head. 1t was magic blood.
and ever since all birds of his family
have had red head feathers.

difficult one On the other hand, not
even diplomatic relations have been
severed with Bulgaria, and this fact,
with the added circumstances that Ste
phan Panaretoff, the Bulgarian minis
ter, is free to move about as he likes,
has provoked considerable comment in
entente diplomatic quarters. Several
diplomats, it is stated, stand ready to
discuss with the state department the
possibility of information Of a military
character getting to Germany through
the Bulgarian legation.
Engineers Have Giant Task.
Romance, mystery and peril blend in
the tremendous task of "the army
ahead of the army" which is blazing a
trail today to the French front for
Americas 100000 men.
It's the job of the engineers, and it
means that every step of the barren
way from French port to French front
must be modernized into an elongated
American city.
First they must macadamize the high
way, every foot of it. And over an area

port and behind the front an intricate
system of perfectly paved streets and
avenues must be built. Winding in and
around both these terminals the eng1-
neers are f~ashioning a complicated sys-
tenn of railroads, both narrow and
standard gauge, for switching, trans
ferring and caring for troops and sup
plies.
Connecting these two webs is a ribbon
of track paralleling the miles of paved
roads, with branches and spurs shoot
ing off here and there on both sides.
Every tie, every rail, every spike, every
engine and every car for this system of
railroads Is being taken from this coun-
try. Not n Bit of material, not a
single nan is being supplied by France.
Great wooden camp cities are rising
at both ends of this line. Power houses,
permanent repair gang camps, houses
for maintenance of way officials, water
reservoirs will be strung out along the
line and at the terminals.
The lumber for these structures is be-
ing hewn from the forests of France
by regiments Of American foresters.
Other regiments are rebuilding and en-
larging docks and wharves at the port
Of arrival, and dredging and opening
new approaches in the bay for the big
gray transports.
