Mary,s AIisehievous. Cat.

One pleasant day in May little Mary was sitting in the yard sewing her dolls dress when she heard a noise in the house. She ran in and what do you think it was Her eat Floss had jumped up in a chair and took her parrot out of the cage.
 Floss started to eat it, He had a wonderful time and good meal But the last of it became very sad. Just as he ate the last bite Mary came in. She went to speak to her parrot but it was gone. So then she went to talk to her cat, but it ran out into the other room.
 She then wondered what was the mat ter with Floss He had never acted like that before. He had always ran to her She then thought what was the matter with her pussy. It all came to her. Sbe knew the cat had eaten her parrot be- cause he looked as if he had been eating something.
 Sure enough he had, but she did not punish him. She only taught, him never to do a thing like that again

I watched two orioles one day as they searched among the branches of a great elm for a safe place for their nest.
 They finally selected a spot hidden from the eyes of snakes and owls, and out of the, reach of small boys guns. ss Then they went, to work at the build ing itself. gathering horsehair, twine, twigs and hay All these they woye closely together to form the wall of their little abode.
 The inside they lined with ducks fea- thersl and tufts of lambs wool, making a soft, warm bed for the baby birds that would soon fill it. No human children's home could be snugger or safer than this ! little nest that rocked and swayed in thu tree tops.

Roberts Punishment.

Once. upon time there lived a boy. He was twelve years old and his pane was Robert Brown. He also graduated from the public school One day he had done something wrong which his mother did not like. So to punish him she told him to chop some wood.
 He chopped quite a big pile, when. he saw three of his playmates, going fish ing. They had some. fish already. And Robert asked how many they had caught. One caught three, the other one and the last one caught five. Robert wanted to go fishing but he knew he couldn't. He had a long talk with them just the same -tt ,e -,-
 Robert had a dog named Jack. He was also near the chepping block. The three boys enjoyed themselves that day. But poor Robert didn't. ...,.,3,-ss.- ..t

and the retailer have to make profit Do you wonder now that meat is so high?
 But. there are many things that will help, reduce the cost of meat. Here are some of them: Eat less meat.
 Buy less meat.
 Form meatless clubs in your neigh borhood. s Use meatleSs menus.
 We can use substitutes for meat. We can eat beans and other vegetables We can make vegetable nut loaf. The nuts will furnish the oil and fat which the meat would do We can also eat fish sof all kinds. Fish is easily digested and many people like it.
 Instead of buying expensive cuts we can buy cheaper cuts such as round steak, chuck steak and stew meat and soup bones.
 Turtle meat is cheaper than meat thai is so high. Just try some and see. how it tastes. LOIS TAYLOR, Age 10. New London.

 Finally she choked back her sobs and pointed to her pet The boy frankly admitted that he had killed it.
 She told him it was wrong to do so. He. told her that, he thought 1t was a wild fawn, and asked her forgiveness. She loved him so, that she pardened him. Together they walked home and forgot their sorrow. .,

If girl wishes to be happy in Tbibio land the thing is not to be born a twin. If born a twin, it will mean death to girl. and the mother also Even now the twins may be thrown into a jungle to be devoured by wild beasts or killed in an- other cruel way.
 Missionaries who live in Southern Mi geria hurry to the assistance of the twin babies and their mother in order to save them from death but even when the. in fiuence of the white people is strong enough to keep them alive the girl twins are shunnned throughout their whole life.
