did look very funny. The young
Chuck laughed until he felt as if he
would have to hold his sides.
AS soon as Old Mr. Toad was on his
feet again the young Chuck turned
him over again. He did this several
times. Poor Old Mr.. Toad grew
angrier and aggrier. He was so an
cry, that is seemed as If he would
choke to death. He told that young
Chuck just what he thought of him
He told him that he would come to
no good end. He said so much that
finally the young Chuck lost his tenn
per.
Now. Chucks do not eax Toads. and
Johnny or Polly Chuck would have
known better than to take Old Mr.
Toad into their mouths. But the
young Chuck, having lost his tenn
per. seized Old Mr.. Toad, intending
to bite him.
He did bite him. 1t wasn't a very
hard bite. but it was hard enough to
hurt Old Mr.. Toad. Then that
young Chuck wished he hadn't. He
dropped Old Mr.. Toad in a hurry. You
see Old Mr.. Toad has q kind of poi
son which he uses only when he is in
pain and which has no effect unless
it is taken into the mouth. There 1t
is most uncomfortable. Old Mr.. Toad
used 1t on that young Chuck. So the
young Chuck learned another lesson
the lesson that people are not always
as harmless as they look.

TO be done about 1t. The government
ought to do something to landlords

I agree with Mrs. wilford. The
government most certainly ought to
do something" to the landlords who
won't rent apartments to people with
tiny children. II ought to decorate
them with largs gold medals and n !
benefactors-thats what it ought to
do. Nor does the governments duty
stop there.
After it had decorated the land
lords il should hale every single
parent applying for such an apart
ment before the nearest court and
demand the reasons for attempting
to bring up youngsters in such a
place and such an atmosphere. Fail
ing to give satisfactory cause, the

In all the world full of children

considers them only as they touch his
deep interest in himself.
That is nothing to shudder at. 1t is
the healthy, normal reaction of child
hood that has not learned the disci-
pline of self-repression of the arts of
deception that grown-ups know so
well.
If teachers and parents will remem-
Der that the child is interested chiefly
in himself and in what concerns him
self there will be a few dark places
made light, few hidden things plain.
What made Tommy so naughty
when Aunt Elizabeth was over the
other evening? Why wouldn't he be
content with his barrow and let her
tell you exactly what happened the
other day at the club? Why did he
stand on his head in the bed of
cannas and why did he make such FACES
and emit such horrible noises?
Because nothing that was happen
ing concerned Tommy. He was shut
out and his little self felt the isola-
ton to the point of rebellion. Had
somebody thrown him bone or two
of conversation or even mute notice
he would not have been quite so OBJ
trusive.
Why did quiet little Mary Ellen sit
/ on her own foot until she could no
longer bear the pain of it and then
go limping to the teacher and tell

The wild black cherry is probably
the best known OF the wild fruit
trees, not only to us human beings, but
to the wild birds -as well. for they
are very fond of this fruit, and when
these small cherries are ripe it is
rare that a tree can be approached
without finding a number of birds in
its branches. 1t is the largest of the

forty to one hundred feet high, with
trunk diameter of two feet or more

the vote. If she would be content
with a less fashionable district" a

little more loneliness and discom-
fort. her children's minds and bodies

the birds from molesting cultivated
