More Help for Birds.

When the United states. impelled
by the Audubon society and enlight-
ened public opinion, put stop 70
the sale Of p}umage Of wild birds
that were rapidly approaching cN-
tinction through the vanity and ra-
pacity Of foolish women the measure
met with derision and contumely by
many Other nations-especially in
France. whose milliners were deeply
Interested in fashionable modes and
whose callous selfishness cared little
whether all bird creation were de-
stroyvd or not, just so they might get
paradise plumes, osprey sprays and
other feathers, in their time.
Not only has our country put a
stop to the sale of these teathery
gems. but has also provided refugees
where these birds can live safe from
molestation. 1t is true that an oc-
casional poacher is found who sells
abroad what he can not dispose Of in
this country, but they are gradually
being hunted down. 1t is only a ques-
ton of time until he, like Othello,
finds his occupation gone.

Uncle Wiggily, trying to rub the

Perhaps l may" said the muskrat
lady. T"But what l called to tell you

Give Johnnie and Billie Bushytail

Wiggily, puzzled like.

Wuzzy, 1--WE had too much celery for

he stretched out in the easy chair
to warm his pink twinkling nose and
went to sleep. while Nurse Jane
hoped away from the hollow stump
bungalow to call on Mrs. Flufftail.
While Uncle Wiggily was asleep
along came Billie and Johnnie
Bushytail, the two squirrel boys.
They were going to ring the bell and
ask for the celery for their mother

But Uncle Wiggily had not left the

said Billie. I'VE can do that and go

"All right" agreed Johnnie. But
let's cut off the top leaves of the

and If we trim them off it will be

Right you are, whispered Billie.
And | know what we can do with

"WhatT' asked Johnnie.
we can tie them under Uncle
Wiggily's chin and it will make him
look as If he had whiskers," said
Billie, trying not to laugh. Lets

"Thatll be lots of fun and it won't

Wen do it,"
So the squirrel boys did this, fas-
tenlng the celery under the bunny
gentleman's chin like a fringe Of
Whiskers. And they did it so softly
and gently that Uncle Wiggily never
opened his eyes, Then Johnnie and
Billie, taking the white celery stalks.
went on tiptoe out of the hollow
stump bungalow.
Wont he largh when he wakes
up" chuckled Billie.
"Oh, | should say he would" gig
gled Johnnie.
Uncle Wiggily slept on, with the
fringe of celery leaves for whiskers
beneath his chin. And all of a sud
den the Fuzzy Fox pushed open the
front door of the hollow stump bun
galow and walked in. The squirrel
boys had also forgotten to shut the
door tightly.
An, hal Here is where get Uncle
,Wiggily!' said the Fuzzy Fox to
himself as he walked on tiptoe
through the hall and into the room
Where the bunny slept. And then
the Fuzzy Fox knocked down an
umbrella, and 1t fell to the floor with
a bang.
What's that?, What's that?' cried
Uncle Wiggily, suddenly awakening,
Is that you, Johnnie and Billie,

Uncle Wiggily jumped from his
chair and saw the Fuzzy Fox. And
at the same time the Fuzzy Fox saw
Uncle Wiggily. But when the bad
Fox saw the fringe of whiskers on
the bunny mot knowing they were

a howl and cried:

And then, not knowing it was

ting an end to the traffic in wild bird
plumage. With the British Isles lined
up in this splendid work, Australia,
India. New Zealand. Canada, South
Africa and other important parts OF
the empire will follow, and soon the
bird butchers will be shut out of the
markets Of the world. A consumma-

1t is felt that the passage of this

passage. Lady Aston is prime mover

The Dangers of Home.

When a man travels afar he real
ICES that there is a certain amount of
danger attached to the journey. Often
he takes out extra insurance and
breathes n sigh of relief when he
finally reaches his destination. His
friends assemble at the station and
give him Godspeed. then anxiously
await the telegram that assures them
he is safe.
1t will come as a shock to the aver
age person to be told that accident
insurance companies, however, de-
clare that home--every mans castle
is really the most dangerous place in
the world. and that IS per cent of all
accidents take place in the home.
This, no doubt, Is due to the fact that
he never thinks of danger there and
is off his guard.
The accidents that may happen are
multitudinuUs. He may step on a
nail. He may start the kitchen fire
with kerosene. or strike a match to
see If he has any gasoline in the mo
tor car. A foolish thing to do, but
tho number Of accidents from that
one thing is Incredibly large. Again,
he may fan from a stepladder while,
hanging a picture, or he may stumble
down the cellar stairs while going
for his evening "hooch,"
The wife may--and often does
burn herself severely on the kitchen
range, or while using the curling iron
She may rise to care for the baby
and stumble over chair or table in
the dark, and be laid up for weeks.
The innocent appearing sewing ma
chine Is responsible for many grave
accidents. The commonplace task of
splitting kindhng wood is responsible
for many more
IF home is so dangerous, where
then can safety be found ." cries the
average citizen. Paradoxically enough
1t Is what is ordinarily thought to be
a place Of greatest hazard To come
back to the accident insurance COM
panies again: they declare that the
safest place in the world is a first
class steamship. and the next safest
is a passenger train possessing a good
roadbed.
