one that wanted to get in must pay
him grain of corn for the privilege
Of sleeping in the kings castle.
AS there were few grains of corn
to be found at that time, most of the
hens and chickens slept outside that
night.
1T will do them good and they will
be all the more anxious tomorrow to
save grain for me,' he said. II shall
be pretty hungry In the morning and
may have to do little picking, but af-
ter that I am sure will be able to
live as king should and have my sub
jects wait on me-"
Mr.. Rooster was right. All the
hens and chickens saved a grain of
corn and the next night his castle was
full of his subjects, as also was his
crop full of corn.
Mr.. Rooster slept with the string
that worked the lock fastened to one
foot, for sometimes when he was doz-
ing subject came to the castle door,
and one night he was awakened by
soft voice outside saying: 20 mighty
King Of the Barnyard, pray let me in.
1 have bag full of golden corn.
II am stray goose that has wan
dered away from her home and can
not find place to sleep, and am
willing to pay a high price for the
privilege of sleeping in your CASTLE"
Now, it wasn't a goose at all, but
Mr.. Fox, who in some way had heard
about the way Mr.. Rooster was MAX
ing his hens and chickens pay for
sleeping in the poultry house. Mr..
Fox saw right off a chance to get in
and carry off one or two fat hens.
Mr.. Rooster was so flattered that he
did not stop to ask any questions or
look out to see who it was. He pulled
the string, the latch flew up and Mr..
Fox jumped into the midst of the hens
and chickens.
Such crying and squawking as they
set up scared even Mr.. Fox, and be-
fore he could get out Of the poultry
house with one, Mr.. Dog came bound
ing at him, and Mr.. Fox, without his
breakfast, made tracks for home.
"You are a nice king, you are" said
Mr.. Dog. A king looks out for his

however, we learn that porcupines are
abundant in the valleys to the north
and south, and few years ago were
plentiful in the valley so named, but
that fire exterminated them. 1t takes
the porcupine population years to make
their way back over a few miles Of
country in which they have been de-
stroyed, and similarly in bird life the
distribution Of a species is usually de-
cided by its habits. The wanderer
may be worldwide; the stay-at-home is
generally limited to one region, or, if
it appears in many regions, it differs.

MIR. ROOSTER AS KING

ssTF I AM cock Of the walk" said Mr..
Rooster one morning to himself,
as he strutted around the barnyard,
that means that 1 am king. And if 1
am king, why shouldn't have castle
and why shouldn't my subjects pay me
for being their kingY'
The more Mr.. Rooster thought about
1t the more he was certain he was
right, and so he strutted over to the
poultry house where all the hens and
chickens slept at night and looked
about.
This shall be my castle aud won't
let one hen in unless she pays me a
grain OF corn. Why should king

A Summer IdyI.

The sea and the sand of summer
resort, and man and maid and q
moon. Soft and sweet nothings-

A whisper, promise, and summer

Porcupine and Forest Fire

An individual porcupine may spend
the whole of his life in one poplar
grove. When forest fire comes, ev-
cry porcupine within the fire belt
perishes, and it takes years for them
to creep back into the burnt area.
Thus we often find localities named al
ter the porcupines where these crea-
lures are entirely unknown, such as
the mining camp of Porcupine, North
ontario. On questioning the Indians

to him, say, and l am king and
what 1 say must be right"
Mr.. Rooster fastened long string
to the latch of the door of the poul-
try house and when night time came
he sat on a roost and held the door
fast.
All the hens and chickens came run
ming to get in. when it was time to go
to bed, but Mr.. Rooster called to them,
saying that he was king and any

chickens / would roost in the barn at
night where Mr.. Horse and Madam
Cow could protect me if Mr.. Fox came
along"
The hens and chickens took his adj
vice and the next night poor Mr..
Rooster found himself alone and very
hungry, too. So he decided that being
king was very hard work, and be-
sides that, he did not like to be alone,
for if Mr.. Fox should take notion to
call again he knew that he would need
the help of all the hens to call to Mr..
Dog for help.

ROMANCE OF WORDS
asYRARITE"

THE present meaning of the
4 word "Sybarite" is a per-
son who is devoted to luxury
and pleasure, who makes a
fetish Of them and who thinks
far more Of his comfort than
he does of the larger things Of
life.
The word is taken from the
city Of Sybaris, situated in
southern Italy, near the west
shore Of the Gulf of laramie.
Sybaris was founded by the
Greeks about T2O B. @. and be-
came a very powerful province,
commanding four neighboring
nations and being capable of
placing an army Of some 300,-
coo men In the field. In time,
however, the Sybarites, or in
habitants of Sybaris, became
proud and domineering, noted
for their effeminacy and self
indulgence. 1t is reported that
no trade which entailed the max
ing of noise was permitted to
be carried on in the city, and
Seneca tells the story Of a Syb-
arite who complained that he
had slept badly and that, upon
examining his bed in the morn
ing, ''he found a rose leaf dou-
bled under him which had
caused him extreme pain"
Sybaris, incidentally, was
overthrow about 500 B. @. and
never recovered it's former
glory, though its name persists
to this day through the medium
Of the word "sybarite."

Diamonds by Phosphorescence,

A decided difference has been found
in the phosphorescence Of Brazilian
diamonds and those from the Cape.
The former, which are noted for the
liveliness of their light, and which
have become quite rare of late years,
exhibit a brilliant phosphorescence
after being exposed to the radiation
of magnesium ribbon, while Cape
diamonds in similar circumstances
show very little or no phosphorescence.
This is thought to be means Of de-
tecting diamonds falsely offered as
Brazilian gems.

On days when he has naught to

With Time so full Of rare com

Hanging like lead upon his

Party Lines Don't Hold.

The senate as it is today constitut-
ed, or will be constituted in Deem
Der, is a much more picturesque COM
bination, if picturesque be the word,
than is the house. The senate is a
small body and three or four men of
ideas, which are not as the ideas Of
others, make much of stir and pre-
sent a decidedly glaring addition to
the general color scheme Of senate
proceedings.
There are some senators who are
called Republicans who are pro-
nouncedly in favor of government own
ership of virtually everything which
the government can own, including, of
course, the railroads as the chief
piece Of property. There are other
Republicans who think that govern
ment ownership means financial
chaos; domination of the many by the
few; general loss in convenience and
In safety to the travelling public.

are other Democrats who feel just

TON TO MIR. JOSEPH GRAVES

MY DEAR MIR. HAMILTON:
After your generosity and that Of
my other friends to me, no one need
ever tell me that this world is not
full of kind-hearted and sympathetic
people.
I cannot write you all that lis with
in my heart, but 1 will accept the
check which Leslie sent me from
you and you will be glad to know
that there is great hope Of Sam get
ting back his sight.
One Of the greatest eye specialists
in the country is coming to see. him
tomorrow, but think that what
ever he may say to him, it will not
do him any MORE good than the
words you said to him through Les
lie-that if he recovered his sight,
you would find a place for him in
your business. 1t has given him an
incentive to live.
Dear Mr.. Hamilton, all 1 can
say Is that both Sam and I hope you
Will get what you deserve while you
live and can enjoy It.. =

Atherton written to your father.
I've rarely seen your father so
touched as he was by it.
am glad, my dear child, that you
are coming home before we have to
leave, and from what you have writ

must be rather a selfish woman.
You know. my dear child, that
there are mothers and mothers.
Some mothers give all and some
mothers ask all. 1 have always tried
20 steer toward a middle course.
1 have tried to give to my children
everything that would make them
happy, but I have also tried not to
be so indulgent that I would hurt
the strength and stamina Of their
character.
1t is said that a selfish mother
makes an unself1sh daughter and
vice versa
I am going to tell you secret
my dear Leslie. think there are
some cases where unselfishness ceases
to be a virtue.
Kindness Of heart and a SYM
pathetic mind is much to be desired.
but have sometimes thought that
these people who are particularly I'M
selfish and who give in to the wants
and desires and prejudices Of some
enc who is narrow minded, selfish
and prejudiced, are too lazy to stand
up for their own, too indolent to make
a stand which would be better not
only for themselves, but for the
PERSON who asks so much.

mating taste that makes me very
