TO THE JAY,

| "a. ~ Tx JAW
Most unwelcome bird in birdland, yet
you brave the winter snow,
The singers of thy kingdom south
| long hence have flown.
You haunt the barren landscape, and
you seem to love it so,
And you have the whole dominion
for your own.
In the coolest days of winter you are
singing quite the same,
And you are a bird of beauty, Jay,
to me;
You have beauty in your garment, you
have SPLENDID in your name
And a subtle, little singer must thou
be!
Though unwelcome in the presence of
the robin and the wren.
You are like martyred hero-in
the sky:
You possess the honor and the sympa-
thy of men,
And your spirit goes on flying when
you die.
In the radiance of morning so self
conscious dost thou seem,
Fitting in the trees from spray to
- spray;
You arouse the dusky dreamers from
the sweetness of their dream
And you sound the waking siren of
the day.
You search the fruitless landscape for
subsistence, and you steal:
You are worthy to be judged what
you are not;
You are brave and fascinating, you are
bird of fny ideal,
And you are the most ambitious OF
your lot.
Robert Worthington Davie.

SURGICAL DRESSING WORK.

Some skeptical people, who usually
aren't doing anything themselves
think that the production Of surgical
dressings by patriotic women is being
overdone. II they could see conditions
in some of the French villages where
not single able bodied man remains
they would not feel SO.
In these colossal battles where hun
dreds of thousands of men are engag.
ed, all previous wars and needs are
outclassed. A great many men are
wounded in these battles. But with
prompt care and abundant material
handy, the vast majority of the wound
ed are saved.
Vast storehouses should be filled in
France ready for the hour of need. A
Red Cross doctor who recently return
ed from France reports case of SOL
der so badly wounded that it took a
whole case of dressings to save him.
Under the strains of such demands,
a great mountain OF supplies will
quickly melt away.

time Ned was big boy the Pangburn
boys were hated and dreaded every
where. Chris was by nature the boost
err and braggart of the family, and Ned
might be called the boy led astray by
bad example, although he certainly en-
tered into the evil ways of his brothers
willingly enough. BY the time Orley
country people looked on the Pangburn
boys as outlaws to be dreaded and pro-
pitiated.
The girl Emily, youngest of the five.
was a sweet child, and tho worst that
could be said of her was that she thought
her brothers were the noblest fellows liv-
ing. The father, old Dag Pangburn, was
remembered as bent-backed old man with
a twisted leg who went about his farming
with a sour face and was reputed to be

knocking them down with his fist; after
that they knocked him down when he dis
pleased them. 1t was said that his death

known certainly. No one cared to incur
the displeasure of the Pangburn boys by
investigating the story too closely.

was in the west robbing trains or up to
some other crime, but it was probably
mere talk-no one could know. For the
most part they hung about the farm ter

cursions to Hardentown after bad whisky
When the Pangburn boys had been
younger there were whole seasons wheI,
there was no school In their neighborhood,
because they would not allow it, but the
first serious affair in which their names
rrere mentioned was the cattle affair. The
four boys had been over to Hardentown to
the county fair and were coming home on
the crowded ferry when Ned, drunk like
the rest. had begun offensively making love
to a girl who was seated in a wagon be-
side her father. He had tried to pull the
girl out OF the wagon, and her father
had taken his whipstock by the thin
end and got rid of Ned by striking
him across the forehead with tho heavy
