THE PAIR

Billie Brownies call this day was
to be upon the Ostrich pair at the
zoo.
Billie Brownie was always much
amused by Mr.. and Mrs. Ostrich.
He thought their ways We're inter
esting and he always liked to hear
about them.
Then. too, he always liked to tell
everyone he could that ostrich feath-
ers meant unhappiness and tragedy In
the lives Of birds.
The ostrich family weren't hurt
when their feathers were taken from
them, no., not at all in fact 1t made
them pleased and comfortable.
But this time that he went to see
Mr.. ard Mrs. Ostrich he could see
from the moment OF his arrival that
they were each in u funny frame of
himself.
I'VE haven't large brains" said Mr..
Ostrich, but we have a fine system
for all that"
Tell me about It," urged Billie
Brownie.
Our brains are small in SIZE" said
Mrs. Ostrich, land my mate is quite
correct when he says what he does.
But we have enough brains for our
purpose.
IF we had more brains we'd have
to study and keep our brains up to
the mark.
THAT would be a nuisance. Thank
full I am that u brains are no more
trouble to us than they are.
ITO some, 1t would appear, brains
are a great bother.
"Yes, u system is fine. Mr.. Os-
trich was right about that, too.
"We take turns in Matching the
eggs. / sic upon them in the daytime
for my gray costume looks like the
sand In the daylight and so protects
me-" Mrs. Ostrich explained.
"a good idea," said Billie Brownie.
"And l sit at night and watch out
for them then as l wear a black

feathered suit which looks like the
night" said Mr.. Ostrich.
THAT does sound like a perfect
system" agreed Billie Brownie.
Neither of us are cowardly when
It comes to protecting our young"
Nr. Ostrich continued.
81 will hurry the brood away while
Mrs. Ostrich will face the enemy and
fall down as though there were no
more life in her and so Ii makes the
enemy feel 1t Is useless to do any
thing.
I'VE have good eyesight. Our hear
Ing Is our next best sense and smell
Ing comes third. We really only use
this sense In feeding and In recognlz-
Ing our young.
Some say 1t Is a strange way Of
knowing ones children, but then Il
does for US so why should we over
tax u brains and think Of other
ways?"
ut would be foolish" said Mrs.
Ostrich. But l hope in time people
will stop saying ! hide my head In
he sand when I'm frightened.
81 fall down and have my head quite
close to the sand-but | uun't hide IL.
People have thought il was hidden be-
cause by head and the sand are SO
much alike in color.
And the story has been passed
along. And gossip has kept 1t going.
Il may have a small brain, but |
know enough to know that my body
isn't safe just because my head
might be hidden-and so | don't hide
my head.
oh, well, I'm above getting mad
even II I'm gossiped about.
THAT is very wise of YOU" said
Billie Brownie, "for | must admit
that while / know it is foolish, | feel
q little hurt at anything said about
me that is not kind. .
you are far more sensible, Mrs.
Ostrich.
But I've been delighted to have
heard your stories and TO have had
the honor and pleasure Of this talk"
How very hCEasomely you make
your departure" said Mr.. Ostrich, as
Billie Brownie made a low bow upon
finishing his speech.
And Mrs. Ostrich added,
You show a fine and respectful
manner toward the happy Ostrich
pair.

joiceI"

times their criticisms are unfair and

their great remedial qualities, espe-
cially for weaknesses Of women, and
after careful preparation succeeded In
giving TO the world a remedy which
has been used by women with the best
results for half a century. DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is still In great
demand. while many other SO called
"cure-alls" have come and gone. The
reason for Its phenomena. success Is
