A Spoiled Darling.
A child that's spoiled-alas, It's SO!
Into a nuisance soon will grow.
old Mother Nature

Everybody in the Green Forest
knew that Littlest Bear, the smallest
of Mother Bears triplets, was a
spoiled darling. That is everybody
knew II but Mother Bear and Littlest
Bear herself Mother Bear would
have been very indignant. very in
dignant indeed. had any one told her
that she was spelling Littlest Bear.
AS for Littlest Bear, she didn't think
anything about it at all. She had
her own way in everything, and that
was all she cared about. Having her
own way made her selfish. She grew
more selfish every day. Also. she
grew willful.
When Mother Bear first led them
out into the Great World she told
the triplets that they must do just
as she did. At first all three did.
When Mother Bear stopped the three
little Bears stopped. When Mother
Bear sat up the three little Bears
sat up. When Mother Bear tested
the air with her nose the three little
Whatever Mother Bear did the three
little Bears did in exactly the same
way.
But Littlest Bear grew tired of
doing just as Mother Bear did she
didn't see any sense In it; 1t got so
that she was always the last to stop
when Mother Bear stopped, the last
to sit up when Mother Bear sat up,
the last to test the air when Mother
Bear tested the air. After while 1t
got so that she didn't do these things
at all If she didn't feel like 1t. If
Brother and Sister failed to do as
they were told they were almost sure
to have their ears boxed, but Littlest
Bear got off with no more than a
scolding.
If Brother or Sister Jagged behind
they were likely to get a spanking.
But IL Littlest Bear Jagged behind
Mother Bear would wait for her to
catch up. or even go back to look for
her, and never was she punished.
1t didn't take her long to find this
out, and the result was that she wor-
ried Mother Bear more than the other
two little Bears together. II always
is that way with spoiled children. II
Littlest Bear got into trouble Mother
Bear promptly got her out of IT. and
merely warned her to be more care
full next time. But If Brother or Sis

line over its eye that moves about
all day with its incessant cheerful
warble, and il so fred my enthusi-
asm that before the end of the sea-
son / had added a dozen or more (to

The red-eye Is always hunting
among the foliage for his insect food
and is most commonly seen with up
turned head. carefully cleaning from
the under side of leaves. He sings, or
talks, as he works. in short musical
sentences, given between mouthfuls.
where's a worm? Where's a cater
pillar? Where's a worm?" he queries
as he goes. answering his own ques-
tions very comfortably to himself, as
Mrs Bailey says.
The basket nest of the red-eye is
woven of strips of grapevine bark
and lined with finer material. II
hangs rather low from a forked twig,
about which it is so firmly woven
that 1t often withstands the winter
storms in good condition. so well in

three to four, are white, lightly spec

The vireos are dainty little birds
whose leaf-tinted dress harmonizes
so well with the foliage of their
haunts that they often pass unno-
ticed. They have pleasant voices and
build beautiful basket nests suspend
ed from forked twigs. They are in
sect eaters and are most useful in
preserving our shade trees from the
ravages of caterpillars, inchworms
and leaf eating beetles. Four species
nest here-the red-eye, white-eye,
warbling and yellow-throated, while
in migration the blue-headed, and
possibly the Philadelphia, may be
seen.

The chief chemist of a lead COM

item that most of the water service
connections in the city of New York,
for instance, are Of lead, and IL my
opinion that lead poisoning may occur
from such a source is correct most OF
the people in New York would now
be suffering with lead poisoning,
The advantages claimed for lead

result that lead pipe does not require
such frequent renewal to prevent oo-
struction of the now.
Well, no doubt mild chronic LEAD
poisoning Is much more common than
is generally known. The effects OF
mild chronic lead poisoning are so
protean that even q good doctor is
easily deceived, and no New York
doctor will deny that he is good. The
Possibility of chronic lead poisoning
from the regular drinking Of water
of any kind which flows through
lead pipe is unbeatable. All author
tiles on sanitation and hygiene teach
that lead pipe should not be used
for carrying drinking water.
Just to give a general idea OF the
