Child Died of Old Aue,

About two years ago a boy Of seven
died at Zurich of old age. His case
was exceptionally unique, for he was
the youngest member of a family who
had won local repute as athletes. The
oldest brother was a first-class boxer,
while the younger had won many
prizes ON the sports ground. Doctors
from all parts of Europe flocked to
Zurich to try to diagnose the boys
malady and effect successful cure,
but in vain.

The Unicorn,

The unicorn which assists the lion
in upholding the British Royal coat of
arms bears the reputation of being en-
tirely mythical. But in truth it has
an actual prototype in the chiru, an
antelope of western Thibet and Hin
dustan. By right the chiru has two
horns, but it is Of so pugnaci0us a dis
position that it often loses one of them.

Looking lnto the Future.

An eminent engineer has predicted
that in time to come the rivers Of the
United States will no longer flow a.
they do today. Each important stream
will be merely series of sluggish
lakes, with electric power stations III
between. All the little streams will
be wiped out, and their waters c0iL-
bined into the great ones that are to
supply the heat, light and power Of
the future.

Growing plants are healthful In two
ways. First, they absorb carbon diox-
ide given of by the lungs Of persons
in the house, and give of pure oxygen
to the air. Second. the evaporation
of moisture from the foliage and from

best ways to prevent the harmful dry

shaken up, started to rise when h,
looked UP and saw Balky Sans hinc
feet wavering menacingly in the all
above him. He turned the other way
and there was Johnny Bull grinnine
with hungry jaws just ready to grab
him. Pete clasped his hands together
and raised them imploringly toward
Peggy.
"Please-a princess, I notta mean to
insult you! Please-a forgive"
Peggy, looking behind Pete, could
scarcely keep her face straight, for,
peering through the bushes, was
Lonesome Bear. the queerest sort of
a look upon his face-perplexity, fear
and an almost uncomfortable desire to
laugh, all struggling for command.
DO you, in gratitude for his saving
your life, renounce all claim to Lone
come Bear" asked Peggy solemnly.
Balky Sam stood on his head and
waved his feet around suggestively.
Johnny Bull moved a bit nearer and
growled. Billy Goat pranced around
behind. From the woods came the
mysterious music in weird, shivery
strains. Pete's eyes took in the en-
tire situation.
Il do. He is a good-a bear. letta
him gop
Lonesome Bears face lit up with
relief and joy. But Peggy was not
through with Pete.
You are a strong, able-bodied
man-too fine a fellow to be idling
around America picking up pennies
from children when Italy needs you
to fight for it. If l let you go will
you hurry home to Italy and join the
army?"
Il will! I will" promised Pete.
Then stand up" ordered Peggy,
and be on your way"
Pete stood up. Balky Sam sat down
with his back toward him. Billy Goat
gave Pete another butt and he went
flying on Balky Sans back. In
stantly Balky Sam jumped up and
raced madly away with Pete clinging
to him. Johnny Bull and Billy Goat
followed close behind.

skunk quickly away in the underbrush
"Stay by me!' whispered Peggy to
the Birds. I'VE must save Lonesome
Bear"
She noticed, with a little flash of
uneasiness, that Billy Belgium, Balky
Sam, Billy Goat, and Johnny Bull had
quietly disappeared. But she felt sure
they had not deserted her. Perhaps
they had some new plan of their own.
Nearer came the shrill whistle.
Within the glade was absolute ST.
Ience. Peggy and the Birds scarcely
breathed. The bushes parted and a
dark-faced Italian came through. His
eyes were on the ground and he was
exulting over something he had found
there.
"His-a tracks," the man muttered
My bear is not far away" He did
not see Peggy and the Birds until he
was almost upon them. Then he
jumped back, startled by the strange
spectacle before him. There sat Peg
gy like a queen on her throne with the
Birds clustered close beside her. On
Peggy's head was a crown of leaves
hastily woven by the Orioles, and in
her hand was blue flag scepter given
her by the Blue Heron.
Before the Italian could recover
from his surprise Peggy spoke.
You are in the court of Princess
Peggy of Birdland. Remove your
hat, sir" At the same moment there
came from the nearby forest the
sound of soft, weird music. Peggy
knew Billy Belgium was on the lob.
Princess! Fairies" muttered the
Italian, but he made no move toward
his hat.
Blue Heron, do your Duty hooted
Judge Owl, looking very severe in his
auto goggles.
Blue Heron tapped up from the
ground, sweeped toward the Italian,
snatched his hat from his head and
gave him a sharp slap on the ear.
The Italian let out a vel! and
moved toward Blue Heron, but
stopped short when Peggy raised her
scepter threatingly.
Pete, the cruel" she said sternly.

some Bear, but you have come to
judgment instead"

Italian.
"Pete, the cruel you have no bear.
Lonesome Bear saved your life. That
act won him freedom. He now be-
longs to the forest"
"He belonga to me. What foolish
ness is dis?" shouted the Italian an
grily.
"Kneel, knave, and beg the pardon
Of Princess Peggy for contradicting
her." said Peggy grandly, holding her
scepter in a gesture of command. The
concealed music shivered like a
movie theater organ at a climax.
