wonder how many Of our boys
and girls know the call note OF the
chick-a-dee!
Henry w. Henshaw, who at one
time was chief Of the biological sur
vey, tells us that by softly whist
ling the call he has called the little
fellows in focks around him, and
that they did not show signs of fear
but perched on his hand and pecked
at the piece Of suet, which he held
out to them. Nuthatches too came
to the feast and after satisfying
their hunger pecked at his buckskin
glove, no doubt supposing it was a
new kind Of bark in which insects
and larva were hidden.
The chickadee stays with us dur
ing the winter and it is in winter
that it is the happy con6ding little
creature, which so amuSeS ana In
terests us. At this season they are
very friendly, and we need not lack
for society when they are around.
Their call of chickadee, chick-a-dee-
dee is very musical when every
thing else is still in winters cold
embrace.
In the summer when we are
greeted with the songs Of other birds
the chickadees usually retire to the
deep woods to build their nests.
They build in cavities or holes in
trees and line the nest with moss.
They are useful, harmless and very
interesting birds and should be pro-
tected.

the last computation, to be $780,

Some ssLittle Dear"

He was probably the smallest
MILDLY" in the navy, and one eve
ming he was invited to attend a
party in the saloon. He was such a
little chap that the ladies had no
idea that he was a midshipman at
all, but took him for somebody's
"dear little boy" in royal navy
Atwood serge. At last one Of them,
on whose lap he had been sitting,
and who had just kissed him, ask
ed:
"And how old are you, little
ldear?"
"Twenty-two,V he said, in voice
like a foghorn. Then the lady
swooned.
Why do we make mistakes?
Bill Irwin, the famous newspaper
correspondent, was once asked why
newspapers made so many mis-
takes. Bill answered that the won
der to him was that they ever got
anything straight. He said, go out
on the street and write down every
account of the latest accident you
are able to gather. Compare the
accounts; no two will be alike.
Get some Of your informers to re-
peat the story and see how it has
been magnifed.
We would like to add that you
try running down aaaumor or to
find a man who could really give

Try your hand at writing two

graft of running a country news

Peculiar Creature

The Opossum is an unusual animal.
1t has two peculiarities which set it
aside from all other animals. The
first is its method Of self protection
from which the expression, "play-
ing possum'' originated.
At the first alarm it pretends to
be dead, and no amout of rough
handling will bring even a CULVER
from the apparently lifeless crea-
ture.
Then it has a peculiar method Of
carrying its young. sometimes
there are six or more babies which
the mother carries around with her
in the pouch which nature has pro-
vided her. The babies are several
weeks old before they will venture
very far from their mother. AS a
rule, even after they are large
enough to leave the pouch in which
they have spent their babyhood,
the little ones prefer to view the
world from their mothers back.
For this purpose the mother swings
her tail over her back and each
young opossum gives it's tail a
couple Of twists around the larger
tail, and so they ride in a row with
their feet buried in their mothers
fur.

of teaching-snd only in that way. ana
that's the essential that practically an
jockeys of today lack. AS result tne
horses they ride, which are pounds the
best ale beaten.
mo better illustration of this can Re
cited than the ride that Jockey Carron'
one of the hundreds of half-baked rloers'
gave to horse named Orderly last sum
mer. The distance was a mile and quar-
ter and the trainer instructed Carroll to
Keep Orderly off the pace until the
head of the stretch was reached"
'"The pace in that race-for the iirSe
mile-was several seconds slower thah
Orderly can rsn. The natural thing lor
Carroll to have done was to get his horse
out in front as soon as he leareno no"
slow was the pace. But Carron nao no
idea of pace-didn't know how fast tne
first mile was being run. So he KEEP
Orderly lengths behind the leaders, al
though the horse, full of running, Was
fighting for his head.
Sat the turn for home Carroll let Or
Derry loose. And the horse raced for
ward with the speed and the stamina OF
a greyhound. But he was beaten nair
length for first money simply because
Carroll had kept him so far back, despite
the utter slowness of the first mile, that
he couldn't make up a dozen lengths IN
the final eighth.
THAT'S the big reason for the many
form reversals lack of Judgment boys,
m asquerading as Jockeys know nothing
about it. They can't tell within i've sec
onds how fast they are going. 50 they
do not know how to rate their horses
and bungle things so that very orten
the best horse in beaten city block.
MURPHY A WONDER
THE greatest Judge of pace that ever
lived was Isaac Murphy, the great negro
Jockey, He was nothing short OF mar
velous in his ability to judge now last
his horse was travelling. Times without
number Murphy called the exact time
to the fraction of a second-at every pole
in a race. 1t didn't make any difference
whether ii was a half-mile brush or
two-mile contest-Murphy knew the speed
at every furiong.
''Murphy's judgment of pace was the
mighty factor in his startling success as
a Jockey. If the pace was fast through
the first three-quarters Murphy knew II
and took his horse off of it But II the
pace was slow-slower than the ordinary
speed of his rtount-Murphy shot the AMI
NAL to the front and took long ieao
without injuring the chances of his steed.
Racing has come back with a hurrah
as far as popularity with the masses IS
concerned. But racing will continue to be
low in standard and smudged by many
weird rides until the time comes when
the cid system of teaching the boys how
to ride before they get mounts is re-
stored"
