TIRED OF HIS LITTLE SPREE
Runaway" Canary Glad to Be Back
in the Comfort and Safety
of His Home.

Mrs. Robert TOmlinSOn Of Martins
vile has canary that answers to
the name of Woody, relates the Indi-
annapolis News. Last fall the bird es-
capped from the cage and flew away
Immediately the whole town was
asked to keep its figurative eye on
Woody. He was reported here and
there, feeding with the town sparrows.
Mrs. B. would call up and say that she
had seen him, but by the time his
owner came he was gone.
For whole month Woody cavOrted
around with the pests Of the neighbor-
hood. Then dark, rainy days began
to dawn. Still Woody stayed with the
sparrows. A neighbOr called I'D from
the other side of the town one day
and said that Woody was sitting
around in her trees, the very picture
of despair. There is little doubt that
he was thinking of his warm cage
at home. SO his owner HE'D herself
over to the spot and hung his cage
in one of the trees. Then she went
in to gossip. The rain continued to
fall and presently Woody hoped into
his cage and the tragedy was over.
for that night he had his regular warm
spot in the dining room.

PRINCE sLEET's GREETINGS.

well old King Snow, what's the
news?"
It's still winter" said old King
Snow, "as long as you and l are
around"
Don't you sometimes appear in the
spring and in the fall?" asked Prince
Sleet.
ooh, yes, but even then it is wintry,
which is almost the same thing. And
the fact that you are here too makes
it most assuredly winter"
How fine you talk" said Prince
Sleet, with your great words! You
must have been to school since 1 last
saw you"
"Ah, no." said old King Snow. ~

so much of the children this year.
They've had a fine winter.
"They really like me, Prince Sleet,
and it flatters me. l must admit 1t, 1t

Clouds, and l do believe there comes

matter that must be decided by each
individual for herself. Women feel
that they are being held up" on the
prices of some things and. even when
quite able to pay for anything they
want, they object to playing into the
hands Of profiteers. Therefore many
women, especially among those who
have always had money and who un-
derstand values, are leaving 1t to the
newly prosperous to buy extravagantly
rich and high-priced apparel, content
ing themselves with simpler and less
costly things. They are selecting prac-

NEEDFIRE OLD FOLK CUSTOM
Part of the Ritual of Publication That
Has Survived in Scotland Until
Recently.

In folk custom, needfire is fire kin
died by friction of two sticks of wood
or of rope on a wooden stake to
ward off demons of disease Among the
many customs and beliefs connected
with fire one of the most important is
that of ritual publication. The new
fire is supposed to regenerate, as fire
sacrifice is designed to sustain, the
invisible beings. Needfire is a prac-
tice, usually, of shepherd peoples to
ward off disease from the flocks. In
historic times the sparks for kindling
the needfire were obtained by twirling
a wooden peg around a wooden post.
AS in the case Of new fire, the need
fire was almost always accompanied
with the extinguishing of the fires Of
the locality, and the neighbors also
rekindled their fires from 1t as in the
new fire ceremony. In practice, the
people passed, or the herds were driv-
en- through or between the flames of
the needfire for publication. The need
fire custom survived in the highlands
of Scotland until recent date, and
probably traces Of this superstition
still exist in parts of Europe.
Forty commandments could have
been put into the Mosaic law, but ten
were considered enough.

relatives, you know, of the old Hail
family whO've lived on this earth for
years and years and years.
"And there comes my good friend
Mr.. Wind. Well, well, well! This is
nice." And Prince Sleet looked happy
indeed.
Sure as I'm born" he continued.
"there is Prince Icicre AMI hfs beautii
full bride. Well, friends, I'm glad to
see you ALL"
"We heard you were coming" said
the King of the Clouds, "and we
thought we'd like to tell you we're
glad to see you"
"Well, now, that is so nice, so ex-
tremely nice! And I am so glad to see
all of my good friends. How about a
little jollification? A little party, chr"
Just the thing, Prince Sleet," said
the Hail family. 1--WE remember dear
old Granny Hail said your great
grandfather used to give the most glo-
riOus storm parties anywhere around
and so that folks wouldn't feel jealous
or hurt he'd go around and around to
many, many parts. You take right
after him."
Prince Sleet smiled q snowy, wet
very sweet and nice, and then he made
low bow.
"Well. old Wind, what do you say to
a jollification?"
The wind gave a long whistle, 81
should say I'd like It," he answered.
So Prince Sleet led chorus and
this is what they sang:
''Oh the winter snow, the winter snow,
Is fine, is fine indeed.
And when the wind doth blow, the wind
doth blow,
Let us all follow his lead.
And Wen storm and we'll rave,
And we'll rush and we'll run,
And ourselves will not spare,
For we think 1t is fun
To dash through the air.
The air so keen and cold
We love 1t more than gold"
After they had sung this song they
all started 10 play games, TO rush tnlS
way and that, to dash against win
dow panes and into peoples faces as
they tried to catch each other They
hid under persons chin or they
would play tag. Oh. such games as
they played, such scrambling and such
tearing along and such racing and such
flying.
And through 1t all the wind howled
and Prince Sleet howled and they sang
and roared too, keep it up, keep 1t
up. this is fun, fun, funl"
And when at last they were all tired
out everyone gave Prince Sleet vote
of thanks for coming TO cheer them
up-aH but the earth people who said:

amendment gave them two ways of

They are undecided whether 10 take

delav or of unfavorable action in the
house committee the senate resolution
will be taken up in the lower body.
Suffrage advocates had double
cause to be elated The adoption Of
the resolution by the senate by a
vote of "a to 4 showed suffrage had
more support there than had been ex-
pected. Moreover. the senate's action
no longer leaves the amendment at
the mercy Of the house committee.
Adoption in the senate followed a
debate of two hours. Senator Gambler,
chairman of the joint Republican eau
Gus. was only one of his party with
membership of eight in the senate

BERGD0LL COMMITTED
Verdict and Announcement to be An
nounced Later

New York, Aug. 13.-Erwin X.
Bergdoll was found guilty of deser-
tion from the army in time OF war
by the court martial sitting at Gov
rnor's Island and today after MN
utes' deliberation.
Announcement of the verdict and
the sentence will not be made Tor
several days until the necessary re-
ports have been sent to Washington
and approved. The decision OF the
court was made clear, however, at
the conclusion of the case when
Bergdoll was brought again before
the court and asked to agree to the
records.
This action never is taken when
a prisoner is found not guilty. The
doubt in the mind of Bergdoll and
his military counsel is the length of
the sentence. Grover Bergdoli,
brother of the prisoner, was given
) wears on a similar charge after
he had been caught.
Counsel for Erwin pleaded that he
had surrendered himself and there
fore. technically, is not guilty of de-
sertion. but simply of being absent
without leave.
