too.
80 when such birds are marketing
hey are not only taking what people
do not want and get what they do
want for their meals, but they are
taking something which people are
very glad to get rid of.
"That is why many people see that
we are looked after in the summer
when it is hot by giving US water and
in the cooler weather by giving US
crumbs when food is harder to get.
"They say that they do that to re-
ward US for the work we do for them.
That's a nice thought, isn't it?
"And then there are many other ami
mails who all go marketing but they
all have different markets where they
go, such as the bears who love ber-
ries which they find in the woods and
so those are their best markets.
Every animal, every bird, every
creature must go to market or have
some one go to market for them, for
every creature must live, and we have
to eat to live"
"Did you just find that out, Mr..
Robin?" asked Mrs. Robin.
She chuckled, and Mr.. Robin came
up and hoped along beside her.
Making fun of your little mate,
ah?"
"Not a bit of it." said Mrs. Robin,
'just joking and having a little fun.
But you're right. Sometimes people
do think they're the only ones who go
to market and who have to see about
feeding their families.
"Gracious, 1 don't believe there is a
creature who doesn't have to market
that is, as you say, someone in each
family must do the marketing, at least
one person must.
SIT is the same, too, as you say
among the animals and the birds and
the people, among the fish and the
fowls, and the creatures who are big
and the creatures who are small"

EARTHQUAKE PLAYED
PING-PONG WITH
MAN-OF-WAR
Earthquakes play queer pranks.

EARTHQUAKES pay queer pfdnhS.
Recent seismic disturbances in Italy
have attracted renewed attention to
this phenomenon, and recall an amaz-
ing incident in the annals of the Amer
ican navy in which a United States
man-of-war was carried on the crest
Of a tidal wave three miles up the
coast, two miles inland, and set down,
entirely unharmed, within a hundred
feet of the Andes.
This thrilling incident is recounted
Geographic society by one of the par
ticipants, Rear Admiral L. G. Billings,
Q. S. N, retired, as follows:
"In 1868 l was attacheH to the q. S.
S. Wateree, then on duty in the
South Pacifc-one Of a class of
boats built at the close of the Civil
war to ascend the narrow, tortuous riv-
ers of the South she was termed
double ender,' having a rudder at
each end, and was quite flat-bottomed,
a conformation which, while it did not
add to her sea-going worthiness, en-
abled her to carry large battery and
crew, and eventually saved our lives
in the catastrophe which was soon to
come upon US.
august, 1868, found US quietly al
anchor off the pretty Peruvian town OF
africa, whittier we had towed the old
United States storeship Fredonia tc
escape the ravages of yellow fever
then desolating Callao and Lima.
"It was August s that the awful ca
lamity came upon US, like a storm
from a cloudless sky, overwhelming us
all IN one common ruin.
81 was sitting in the cabin with oul
commanding officer, about 4 p. m.
when we were startled by a violen
trembling of the ship, similar to The
effect produced by letting go thu
anchor. Knowing it could not be that
we ran on deck. Looking shoreward
our attention was instantly arrested
by a great cloud Of dust rapidly ap
preaching from the southeast, while
terrible rumbling grew in intensity

ana before our astonished eyes the
hills seemed to nod, and the ground
sWayed like the short, choppy waves
of troubled sea.
line clouds enveloped africa. In
stantly through its impenetrable veil
arose the cries for help, the crash of
falling houses and the thousand COM
mingled noises of a great calamity,
while the ship was shaken as if
grasped by a giant hand; then the
cloud passed on.
but our troubles then commenced.
we were startled by a terrible noise
on shore, as of a tremendous roar of
musketry, lasting several minutes
Again the trembling earth waved to
| and fro, and this time the sea receded
until the shipping was left stranded,
while as far to seaward as our vision
could reach, we saw the rocky bottom
OF the sea, never before exposed to hu-
man gaze, with struggling fish and
monsters of the deep left high and
| dry. The round-bottomed ships keeled
over On their beam ends, while the
Wateree rested easily on her floor
like bottom; and when the returning
sea, not like a wave, but rather an
| enormous tide, came sweeping back,
| rolling our unfortunate companion
ships over and over, leaving some bot
tom up and others masses of wreck
age, the Wateree rose easily over the
tossing waters, unharmed.
From this moment the sea seemed
TO defy the laws of nature. Currents
ran in contrary directions, and we
were borne here and there with speed
we could not have equaIed had we
been steaming for our lives. At irreg-
ular intervals the earthquake shocks
required, but none of them so violent
or long continued as the first.
About 80 p. m. the lookout hailed
the deck and reported a breaker ap-
! preaching. Looking seaward, we saw,
first, a thin line Of phosphorescent
light, which loOmed higher and higher
until it seemed to touch the sky; its
crest, crowned with the death light of
phosphorescent glow, showing the sui
len masses of water below.
with a crash our gallant ship was
overwhelmed and buried deep beneath
a semi-solid mass of sand and wa
ter. For breathless eternity we were
submerged, groaning in every timber,
the stanch old Wateree struggled again
to the surface, with her gasping' crew
still clinging to the life-lines-some
few seriously wounded, bruised and
battered; none killed. not one even
missing. A miracle Il seemed to us
then, and as look back through the
years it seems dOubly miraculous now
''The morning sun broke on a scene
of desolation seldom witnessed. We
found ourselves high and dry in little
cove, or rather indentatiOn, in the
coast line. We had been carried some
three miles up the coast and nearly
two miles inland. The wave had car
ried US over the sand dunes bordering
the ocean, across a valley and over the
railroad track, leaving US at the foo
of the seacoast range of the Andes. Or
the nearly perpendicular front of thu
mountain our navigator discovered thu
marks of the tidal wave, and, by meas
urements, found it to have been Al fee
high, not including the comb. Had th'
wave carried US 200 feet farther w
would inevitably have been dashed t.
pieces against the mountainsfde."

PLEASURE HAD SAD ENDING
Four in Tub, With SoiIed Clothing,
Too Much for the Patience
of Mother.

My young brother Billie was mis-
ehievous, and had to be watched care
fully. Mother was busy making a
birthday gift one afternoon, and
Johnny and were playing near her,
with our dog Jim.
Suddenly mother said: where's
Billie?"
We said we didn't know, so were
sent to find him. I looked everywhere
When I came to the bathroom, there
was Billie in the tub which he'd filled
with water, and he had his clothes on

INDIAN MONEY

Indian money, or wampum, was
made from a kind of thick, heavy sea
shell, which the red men gathered,
carefully split and ground in the
shape of wheat straw, then cut in
short lengths and drilled to form per-
feet beads. There were two kinds of
Wampum, white and purple. The lat
ter was considered by far the more
valuable. The first wampum was used
only for ornaments, bat as the demand

grew strings of it were used for barter
or exchange. King Philip of early
New England fame is said to have had
q splendid coat of ''wampameOg," from
which, when he needed money, it was
a simple matter to cut a generous bit
in exchange for whatever object he
desired. Among the Algonquin and
the Iroquois Indians beautiful belts of
wampUm beads were woven by the
SguaWS.

One Requirement Met.

One Dickie Galton, of an Ohio
town, being an orphan, resided with
one of his grandmothers. Her hobby
was cleanliness, and she was forever
lecturing the lad as to cleaning his
teeth before he went to bed.
On one occasion, when Dickie was
visiting his other grandmother, who,
unhappily for him, was afflicted with
another kind of mania, he replied, when
she asked him, 'Dickie, have you read
your Bible before going to bed?"
"No, grandmother, but 1 have
cleaned my teeth"
