the day did come when he left the
noisy city far behind and, with Miss
Carter, rode on the train to the cOun-
try he could hardly believe was real.
The first night in the sweet white
bed Tim slept but little for fear it was
all dream, but it wasn't and there
were weeks of happiness ahead.
Tins cheeks grew round and rosy,
his eyes bright and such walks and
talks as he had with Miss Carter and
he met all of her animal friends, but
best of all was a pretty yellow war
bier that built nest in the fork Of
the apple tree.
Tim watched this yellow fellow fly
ing back and forth into the tree and
one day he asked: Miss Carter, what
does that bird carry in his mouth and
what does he do with it?"
IF you will promise never to touch
bird nests, Tim, or take their eggs,
will show you something very pretty"
said Miss Carter,
And when the yellow warbler had
HOWL away n6dlIl1 AAASS O"A ICA anu
Tim placed a ladder by the tree and
carefully climbed up.
Tins eyes were wide with wonder
for he had no idea what he was to
see and when Miss Carter whispered
Look !" and showed him a nest with
four little birds in it, their mouths
wide open for food, he was not able
to even ask question.
When they were on the ground
again Miss Carter told him how Mrs.
Warbler made the nest from bits of
straw and horsehair, with which II
was lined, and this was brought to
her by her good husband, Mr.. War
bier.
"And didn't you help them at all?"
asked Tim, for he could not believe
that anything so wonderful could have
been made by anything but hands.
And then Miss Carter told Tim how
wicked it was for anyone to take a
nest or the eggs and harm the baby
birds when the little mother and fa-
Their birds had worked so hard TO
make their home and loved their chill
dren just as little boys and girls were
loSed by their parents.
When 1t was time to return to the
city Tim was made happy by being
told that the next summer he could
go to the farm when school was over
and again meet the Yellow Warbler
and all the other friends he had made
while there.

pear to belong to the slang OF
very recent period, Hes
brick" dates back 10 the days Of
ancient history. Plutarch being
authority for the statement that
Lyeurgus used 1t In connection
with the defense Of Sparta.
The story goes that Lycurgus,
being a man Of few words, was
asked whether Sparta should be
lnclOsed with walls, and replied:
THAT city Is well fortified
which has a wall Of men instead
Of brick"
Another historical al1usiOn of
the same nature was made when
an ambassador from EpiFus, on
q diplomatic mission, WIS shown
by the king Of Sparta over his
capital. The ambassadors was
amazed to see that the city was
apparently unfOrtified ana re-
marked about the matter.
Indeed" replied the king.
"ThOu c0nst not have looked
carefully. Come with me tOmor.
row and / will show you the
walls Of Sparta"
On the following morning the
king led his guest out upon the
plains, where his army was
drawn up In full battle force.
There, pointing proudly to the
solid bAttalions Of armed men,
he exclaimed: "ThOu beholdest
the walls Of SpNrta-every man
of them q brick |"
The antiquity Of the express
sion In English may be gathered
from the fact that the Ingoldsby
Legends contain the following
cOuplet:

Our Duty As Voters.

Now. since there are to he some
elections to office to be made IN a
short time, it behooves us to begin
thinking the matter over and reason
within ourselves for wlfcm Weshohlo
vote and why we sho' Id vote Il
certain candidates and why we
should not vote for certain candl-
dates. -,
In our opinion every candidate

But it should be the earnest desire
Of every citizen who has y vote 10

Il has been too much OF custom

whether this friend possessed any
real merit or qualifications for

suffrage is a selious matter and 1t

diligence. Carelessness ana IN.
difference ia voting on the par. OF
the people has often resulted IN
nIncing in office men who are by

Public Offices should not be given

regardless of how loud their appeal

lar they may be.
This position is emphasized all
the more, we feel, by the fact that

early develop that any one
