The Birds, Tenement House.

One day in spring while 1 was sit ting on the porch I heard a rustic among the leaves of the Dorothy Per- kins rose. I looked up. What do you think I saw? It was a robin carrying string and mud. At once I knew the robin was building a nest. I sat very still and watched Mrs. Robin Red Breast build her nest. She wove the nest very carefully. then she pias tered the outside with sticks and mud soon she went out near the hencoop and gathered some soft feathers in her bill, then she flew back to the nest with them and lined it with the soft feahers so as it would be soft for the. little baby birds After she had com pieted her nest I went into the house.
 The next day I went out on the porch and climbed the treliis to see if there were any eggs. There was just one egg Which was light blue in color,
 A few days afterwards I went out and again repeated the performance of climbing the trellis to see if there were any more eggs. I was surprised to see four blue eggs.
 One day about a week afterwards l noticed a small gray bird which was a sparrow carrying twigs to the rose bush. I thought probably the spar row was building a nest in another part of the rose bush. But 1t was not. It was building a nest right on the

side of the robins nest A few weeks afterwards I looked up and peeping over the side of the nest were little heads with their mouths wide open.
 I knew the baby birds were hun gry and that the little mother birds were very busy Keeping the little birds filled up. I thought I would try and help the mother birds. so I went into the garden and. dug a few worms and left them on the grass. It was not long before the mother birds found them and took them to the baby birds
 It was not long before the baby birds were flying around the yard
 A few days afterwards the birds left us. We took the tenement nest down and kept it awhile.
 A number of people did not believe that this really true story was true. That is the only birds tenement house that I have ever seen. and I don't be- lieve I shall ever see another one.

Adventure fn My Canoe.

One windy day I went out in my canoe and started to go down to Pine Grove, about two miles from the Gold en Spur That is where I started from. and I got a far as Turkey Point, when the wind shifted. and turned the bow of the canoe around the other way.
 It is quite hard to turn canoe around when you are against the wind. If my canoe had not been a Sponsor, I surely would have been overheard. Just as I turned around, I lost my paddle and it f1oated towards shore was in the middle of the river, so could not get it..
 l did not know what to do. I tried padding with my hands, but that did no good. Tine wind kept turning me around in a circle. : Al last l saw something that looked good to me. Some friends of mine Eaw me. in the canoe without a pad diea so they came to help me in their canoe.
 They lowed me home. and my father gave me a scolding for going out canoeing on a windy day. I promised him I would never do that again.

One Sunday my friend Mary invited me to her birthday party. Of course gladly went. When I came to her house all the invited girls were there At first we sang many songs While Anna played on the plano.
 After singing we were called into the dining room by Marys mother There we beheld a table loaded with good things to eat. In the center was a large cake with frosting and four teen burning candles around it.
 Each girl was served with cake, pie cookies, candies. ice cream and soda water.
 After the delicious lunch we were taken out for a ride in a large auto. On the way we were cracking jokes telling stories and singing. In a hour or so, we returned and played games til it was time to go home.
