lily. Inside that cupboard was just
the right size for home. There was
some soft cotton waste in it and
Nanny had already arranged that to
make most comfortable bed.
Then, one night Danny discovered
Nanny taking some dry, soft grass in
there Danny's bright little eyes
twinkled What IS that for, my
dear?" he asked.
Nanny looked little bit foolish
"Oh, nothing special" said she. Il
thought l would just add a little OF
this grass to that soft stuff in there.
There isn't quite enough of it. Then
we can stay over here once In a while,
If we want to-.
Danny said nothing, but he brought
some dry grass and Nanny was soon
at work building a real nest in that
tiny cupboard in the big man-bird.
She worked just as if she We're MAX
ing that nest for the winter. She was
just as fussy about it as she would
have been about winter nest. The
fact is Nanny had yielded to tempta-
ton She just had to see how 1t
would seem to have real home In
that tiny cupboard in the man-bird.
My, how she did work.
And Danny did his share. 1t was
great fun. Both of them spent more
and more time in that man-bird. They
began to feel as If they owned it.
Whenever Farmer Browns Boy and
his cousin. the aviators appeared.
Danny and Nanny scampered away
and hid in the grass. But they were
back again just as soon as the way
was clear. There were some days
that they had no visitors at all. They
didn't even go home to their old home
in the old scarecrow.
When at last they had the snug
gest of snug nests in that tiny cup
board and there was nothing more
to do to 1t Nanny hoped more than
ever that that man-bird always would
remain right where 1t was. BY this
time she had quite made up her mind
that 1t would. She seldom went back
to the old home in the old scarecrow
She spent more and more time In
this new home. The fact Is, she haC
begun to think of this now as a rea
home. the home in which they woult
continue to live. And this is what
had come from yielding to temptation

Our Birds in Verse
By Henry OIdys.
MOCKINCBIRD.

Thou minnesnger of the fragrant south,
Thou trei of the land of palm and myrtle,
Where parching fields may mark the summers drouth,
But human hearts are always rich and fertile
Constant thy song throughout the burnishd day,
Lavishly charged with ravshing surprises;
And when the bright, warm hours have passed away,
In the cool noon of night it still uprises.
Within thy stream of song thy feathered mates
May note their various melodies reflected;
The choiring multftudes voiced by thee,
With and then a quip-quirk unexpected.
These mingled repicas pour from thy throat
With rising spirit, flowing fast and faster,
Or with a lingering some favorite note,
But always with the sureness of
Yet master though thou be of vocal art
Wheneer see thee fash across the spaces,
Or. futterng up and down a vine e-clad post,
Display thy cleaning white with languid graces,
know that thou when singing, not lost
To all musics overmastering passion
But with truly feminine touch doth cast
:. "A comprehending, slanting eye fashion
STILL though the riches of thy radiant
Be purveyors of unmixt treasure,
They the less deliver to my heart
A gracious gift of undluted pleasure.
Then fling thy ringing medley to mine ear
Or night or day, with pure or MKT emotion,
II mirrors my thought, in vision clear,
Ia lovely land that holds my high devotion.

THE GUIDE POST
By Henry Van Dyke
Silent Things That Speak.

Day unto day uttereth speech, and
night unto night showeth knowledge:
There is no speech nor language:
their voice is not heard.
Their line Is gone out through all
the earth, and their words to the end
Of the world.-Ps. 1872, 3.
The King James version OF our
English Bible translates this verse.
"There Is no speech nor language
where their voice is not heard
But the word where" is not in the
Hebrew text.
The Psalmist is praising the won
derful works Of God in the heavens
that silently declare his glory and
power.
How many of these prophets there
are that speak through our eyes to
our hearts!
Not only the mountains and all the
flowers, tell Of a supernal Wisdom
and Beauty abiding in the universe
and shaping 1t as an artist shapes
his work.
It Is worth remembering that most
Of the great astronomers and bot
anists have been great believers in
God.
I do not envy the man who can
look up from the haring lights and
confused noise of the city streets, to
the glittering ,afithful, silent stars.
without feeling the Divine Majesty
ruling far above human turmoil
I do not envy the man who can
consider q flower Of the field without
feeling the Divine Goodness.

Is Beauty Passing2

There has been much ado lately
about the passing of the beautiful
gal and the handsome man from the
realms of the reels. Some folks say
that they prefer to see the less
gifted of the gods on the screen; {;
honest-to-g goodness, ordinary-looking
folk doing simple things in the as
tonishingly simple way that life, the
great director, does have a habit OF
making them do things.
These folk say that they are tired
Of looking at Greek gods and god
desses, or curly ingenues and
1anguishing young. men. and would
rather see some more typical human
beings, such as one sees every day
in the subway or on trolley cars.
Other folk disagree. These other
folk say that they get enough of the
men and women in the subways;
and when they go to the moviea they
choose to see. beauty and bravery
not strictly true to life. It makes
them forget, they say. They want
the screen to- give them oblivion to
everyday and not bring everyday more
definitely home to them.
What do you think about II?
In letter from James Cruze the
other day, he seems to think that
handsome men. at least, are about
to pass into limbo.
81 believe. the public long since
tired of looking at just handsome
men," said Mr.. Cruze. The hand
some star or, actor of today succeeds
in spite of his good looks as much
as because of them. 1t is his ability
as an actor that really counts. The
late Wallace Reid was one of the

known, but he held his popularity
because of his ability to act rather
than his looks.

SOuRCE-A alven name.

No, the first bearers Of this family
name were not necessarily powerful
men. The name Is Welsh one, and
has no connection with our English

"Powyr' was a given name of
rather widespread popularity among
the Welsh Of the middle ages, hav-
ing been the name of famous chief
tain, a descendant of "Leod," who
was the father OF the leader "Mande-
brog" Of Welsh tradition. and the
'CNandebratius" of the Romans
British history.
The endings Of both forms. Powers
and Porson, indicate English infu-
ence.. and more than likely devel-
oped, for the most part, in England at
frst, where the natural procedure
was to refer to the son by the name
Of his father with the suffix son"
added. It is to be noted that in the
case Of Porson, where the pronuncia-
tion was not difficult. that the end
yrson" Is a little clumsy, and where
"Powyr'' was not elided to "Por," all
but the 's" of the son" has been
dropped from the ending OF the fam
lily name at some period after II
ceased to be truly descriptive and
settled down into a sort OF tag
for the family with the, original
meaning overlooked.
In some instances, too. the name
undoubtedly came into being In
Wales at later period when English
customs and speech became more
general there.
