VERMiLLION FLYCATCHER.

The Vermillion flycatcher is per-
haps the most Industrious bird we
have. 1t belongs to a very large
family of insect eaters. He loves
the trees and here he spends most
of his time. He wastes no time
singing because he can't sing at all.
He has a queer little call of his
own, but it can scarcely be called
song.
The fiycatcher is of a bright YER
million red, while his mate is of a
pinkish hue. His bill is wider than
it is high, at the base, where there
is a fringe of bristly hairs, and it
opens up with large gap, per-
fectly adapted to his method of
catching his prey.
The vermilion makes his home
along the Mexican border of the
United States from Texas to Ari-
iona. 1t builds it's nest in the low
er limbs of trees. 1t is made of
small twigs and roots covered with
moss or linchens. The eggs aue
usually four in umber and are of a
creamy buff with spots of dark
brown or lilac on them.

Meaning of Democracy.

Democracy Is word that has
been borne In our minds and entire
being for years. Yet, when we say
it, do we realize exactly what it
means?
Democracy has meaning which
iatcs back many years farther than
1916, and 1912, which are significant
dates for the sons and daughters Of
the United States. 1t began long
time ago in Greece when the all
conquering Persians attempted to
subject Greece to her autocratic
rule. The little band of Greeks
who held back the mighty fleet Of
tho Persians did more for the
world than they had any concep-
ton Of
And On down in history the fight
for democracy has gone forward.
At the present time an opportunity
has come for America, the so-called
furthering the rights of the people.
Democracy means the rule of the
people who make up the nation.
The advantage Of freedom in
thought and speech are innumer-
able. Through this freedom has
come the best that is in mankind.
TO it we owe everything that makes
life worth living.
History says, and we know that
it is true, that sacrifices which took
human lives, have been made to
reach the height in which we exist
today. Therefore, it is our duty
and privilege to preserve that
height. History will go on no mat
ter what action we take. At this
hour of crisis when things look
dark, we should consider the well
fare Of the people who will follow
us. They must have the best and
in order to obtain the best they
must have liberty.

liked Tags and now seemed to like
to nurse him.
DR.. Pegs gathered together his
things and after instructing Helen

left. Tags took the first one of
those black pills alright, but | just
hated to give them to him-he
seemed SO helpless.
After a while Tags went to sleep

op of the stairs, there lay Tags in
his regular bed-just laying there
ne wasn't even wagging his tail.
Roxy was scared and began to
bawl, but Tracey and just walked
over to Tags and just looked down
at him. Tags just looked up at us
with his big eyes full of tears and
| tell you I felt funny inside and
with Roxy a crying well guess
| did cry a little too, because Tags
looked awful bad.
But Tracey stopped over Tags
and talked nice words to him, felt
Tags all over Then he got up and
walked over to the steps, but,
changing his mind and turned to
Roxy and said, ROXY Williams,
you cut out your bawlin' and go up
to the house and tell Helen and
Miss Cook to come out here. Tell
'em to bring the castor-oil bottle
along with them, too" then we
knew something awful the matter
with Tags, because, in the first
place, we hardly ever let any body
come in the rooms besides We
three, and again because Miss Cook
was sort of a nurse maid for the
Johnson family, and thirdly be-
cause Tracey wouldn't order castor
Oil to be given to anyone unless he
was very bad sick.

Miss Cook went over to Tags

Tags was an operation. Miss Cook
said that an operation on dog

being cared for by the girls, we
went into the other room and had
a special meeting.

BY Claude G. Miller.

We three fellows have been hav-
Ing a pretty tough time Of it the
last month or SO since Tags died;
but to come down to the bottom of
1t, think have had the worst of
It. You know Tracey. ROXY, and
have a regular society and we
have a dog-just big collie we
call Tags.
Tags certainly was real dog be-
cause he always went with us on
our trips aud he just seemed to
want to learn things. We had him
trained so ne would know just what
q person would say, and know just
what person wanted done. Why,
Tracey had even learned him how
to say prayers.
Once when the 'siety went down
to the river to build raft, we for
got our hammer and Tracey
showed Tags just what we wanted,
for Tags had carried tools between
us three when we we're building our
'siety rooms in Tracey's barn, and
Tags ran as hard as he could to the
rooms and brought us the hammer;
I tell you when dog friend does
something like that person wants
to elect him president of the siety
or something.
Tags wasn't a dog, but just the
fourth member Of the 'siety when
ever we had a spread or some kind
Of eats we never forgot Tags. No,
Tags wasn't dog he was just good
old Tags.
As l was telling you Tags was
one of the 'siety, he always slept in
the 'siety roms and us three boys
always took turns feeding him.
Time went on, something hap
pened to Tags, We never knew just
what 1t was for we were at school
at the time, and Tags, after that
always seemed to hobble along in
stead of walking straight like he
had been upsed to doing. Tracey,
Roxy, and | never thought much
of it outside of sympathizing until
three weeks ago we planned to go
down to the river and take a trip
on our raft.
We were ready to start early be-
cause time flys like everything
when fellow is trying to have a
good time, so we passed the 'siety
rooms and whistled for Tags. Tags
didn't come like he generally did,
SO thinking that he had not finished
his breakfast we went into the gar
den and talked to Tracey JOhnson's
gardeners son, Jakey.
We had talked for a long time
when Tracey, noticing that Tags
hadn't come down yet, began to
feel fdgety and he walked over to
me and said that he was sure some
thing had happened to Tags be-
cause he had always come down
the stairs at our whistle before, so
ON calling Roxy away from Jekey
we all started up the stairs to the
.'siety rooms.
/ tell you It doesn't feel so nice
to walk TO a place that your scared
you'll find somebody dea-sick in.
l was anxious to see what was the
matter with Tags, but l was afraid
there was something bad the mat
