ducks, whistling swans and few 9th

up and swallow pellets of shot lying
In the mud in marshes and shallow

shot remains in the stomach until it
has been ground into fine particles by
bits of gravel, swallowed to aid d.

resulting in slow paralysis, emaciation
and death. Mr.. Wetmore's expert

Dread of Poverty.

A great deal of apparent poverty
comes from dread of poverty. A man
saves every cent and goes mind and
soul hungry and, ten to one, he is
starving somebody else at the same
time, along with himself. He is really
poor, for the time being, although he
has a large bank account. Poverty
will come every time as the result OF
the improper attitude toward money.
Money Is not a reality; it represents
things that we consider for our good
But there is no poverty like that OF
the starved soul that shrinks and
dries up into narrowness and compress
sion. In getting the feeling of
wealth, look about you. See all the
wonders of nature; believe that won
ders will happen and then get ready
for them. After the days work is
done, build air castles, and then go
In and lay a strong foundation under
one of them. Expect to develop into
efficiency necessary for the bigger job.
The key to this lies in your hands
In doing the little things well.-Pat-
rick Fenton, in the Nautilus.
