American Forestry association OF
Washington, which is conducting the

about this bird is that 1t frequently

because it changed Its mind after
building the first one and decided to
select a better location or. with the
deliberate purpose Of decelving any
intruders who might come along is
not known. The bird is very beau

Fun In Trees for Children.

What delight an old apple, cherry

girls. Particularly tree that has

My heart stands still sometimes
when l see the children swinging In
the plum tree, like the silnians some
scientists tell US we have descended
from, and 1t Is the only resemblance
Of an ape l have observed In man
kind. Surely there must be some re-
lation or there would be broken limbs
and broken heads among the focks Of
children that swarm in that glorious
old tree.
Frequent cautlOning and pleadlngs
excite no fear, but If there are no
accidents the old plum is fulfilling a
splendid mission, though there are no
other plum trees, sufficiently near for
the bees and insects to fertilize the
flowers, resulting In the tree produc-
ing only one kind Of fruit, pleasure
for the children.

The High Cost of Economy.

Economy is something practiced by
people who don't have to economic.
Mrs Wealthy buys eggs by the doz-
ems and puts them down in water
glass. Mrs. Poor never could afford
more than one dozen eggs at one time
regardless of price.
Mrs. Wealthy buys flour and sugar
by the barrel-at a great saving. Mrs.
Poor buys hers by the pOund-and 1t is
expensive.
Mrs. Wealthy takes advantage Of the
sales and gets real bargains in fur
niture, shoes and clothes. Mrs. Poor
can only look In the display windows
lOngingly.
In short, Mrs. Wealthy uses her head
where Mrs. Poor must use her hus
bands salary.
It Is a pathetic fact that It takes
money to economize.-G. w. Gabriel

of every one at the table was focused
on me, and blushing furiously, l STAN
mered: "Oh, yes, sometimes, when
there's something interesting to talk
about" A stony silence greeted my
remark.-ChicagO Tribune.

EarIv PROGRESS Of Industry.

Prior to 1895 the progress made In
the development Of the automobile
can be summed up as follows: In gen.
eral style the body was a park
phaeton, a POnderous complicated
cOntrivance, which would crash the
pavements as 1t passed over them. The
gasoline was stored in large tank
in front. The motor and controlling
apparatus we're placed beneath the
bed Of the vehicle. Excessive weight
and complicated machinery helped In
a great measure to make 1t an utter
failure. One weak spot after another
developed. The axles became heated,
then the gears got out Of order. The
noise of the explosion Of the gasoline
was suggestive of a railroad locOmO-
