 Be sure when you are flattered that
 the one who f1atters you
 Has something that he hopes to gain
 or wants that you should do. N NEVER knew it to fail. Flattery
 is simply the saying of nice things
 about others for selfish ends. It is wise head that sees through flattery and isn't turned by it. When Sammy Jay suggested to Buster Bear that he should get Drummer the Woodpecker to find hollow trees for him, Buster just jumped at the idea. Yes, sir, he just jumped at it. It was just as Sam. my said, Drummer is an expert on hol- low trees. An expert is one who knows all about certain thing. Drummer the Woodpecker knows all about hollow trees. He uses them to drum on. You know there are times when he would rather drum than eat.
 And then, too, he has himself made great many of them hollow. You knew each spring he finds dead branch, a dead tree or a. dead place in live tree and cuts out hollow in which to make his home. Yes, indeed, Drummer the Woodpecker is most cer- tainly an expert on hollow trees.
 Sammy said Buster Bear, you are a wonder. You certainly are. I didn't once think of Drummer. He can save me a lot of work if he will. When ever I get chance will do something for you. I wonder where Drummer is."
 "Over in the Old Orchard.' replied Sammy promptly 'I saw him there just a little while ago. I'll go right back there and get him"
 Thank you, Sammy" replied Bus ter. If you will I'll never forget it."
 At once Sammy spread his blue wings and flew away in the direction of the Old Orchard. Buster Bear stretched out on the ground and chuckled as he made himself comfortable. He knew he would have to wait some time for Drummer to get there, 80 he just gave himself up to day dreams and they were all of that honey which Busy Bee had been storing up ever since the arrival of gentle Mistress Spring. He had to wait even longer than he had expected to, but at last he heard the scream of Sammy Jay and knew that at last Sammy was coming. He scrambled to his feet and brushed the leaves from his black coat In a few minutes Sam. my arrived, and behind him came Drum mer the Woodpecker. Sammy had had no difficulty in getting Drummer tc come. Though he wouldn't have admit ted it, Drummer felt very with tho greatest respect had sent for him.
 Tt is very kind of you to come sucl a long distance, Drummer" said Bus ter as Drummer settled himself in 6 tree over Busters head. T appreciate it very much. You see, II know that there is no one who knows as mucl about what want to know, and that is why sent for you"
 At this Drummer tried to look very Important. Tt was no trouble at all, he said. "If there is anything that know which you want to know I shal be only too glad to tell you what can. There is no one would rather do favor for than you"
 Thank you, thank you" replied Bus ter. That is the true spirit. Thert isn't anybody in the Great World car help me as you can. Do you know Drummer, l think you are very won derful.''

 never can forget. The shock had been terrible. My Mort! It seemed like some horrid nightmare. Yet how ghastly true it was.
 For days he scarcely spoke or look. ed at me, save when one of the children was around. After he had put the boxes of liquor in the cellar would often hear him opening them at night and transferring their contents to suit eases and bags. Watching from my window 1would see his trusted heutenants carry them away. At last they were all gone, and without the children know ing.
 But every time the door bell rang, every time the telephone tangled, would turn cold with dread. The of. ficers! After Mortl Day and night this was ever before me. Mort locked up, the papers telling the story, the children learning the truth about their father.

 Not for an instant did I think he would escape. From the moment realized what he was doing l had no hope. It was more than a pfemonition It was absolute certainty.
 This sense of certainty nearly drove me mad at times. tried to reason il away. To keep cheerful before the children and the eervant--I had let one maid 10 at once in spite of Mort's ob. jections--was agony. felt like scream ing, wildly weeping-anything to re lieve me.
 Then this passed and became almost numb for a time, waiting, listening Mort talked and argued with me al night when VIC were alone, begged me tc be sensible, declared that better mer than he made money the same way. x
 Once. and once only, referred tc his work during the war:
 How can you go on breaking ths laws of the country you risked youl life for over there? It seems to mt that if anyone in the world would keeT the very letter of the law it would bt men who were in the war;"
 He made no answer, but turned very white. grayish white, that frightened me. Then after a minute he said
 Please stop discussing this matter with me, Stella. have told you will get out of it soon. Try ao be sat isfied with my promise and don't worry 90. You are losing your looks, getting altogether too thin. Do be sensible dear"
 He had spoken kindly, yet rushed tc my room to weep. It seemed to m, he had determined not to let anything influence him. It was the money, wha looked like easy money, that had st changed him.

 Drummer swelled fight up with prid, that Buster Bear should say such s it. Tn what way?' he asked mod estly.
 "In knowing so well how to find hol low trees" replied Buster. Now, of course, I know a hollow tree when ii is hollow all the way down to the ground. That is easy enough to find out. But to find out what trees have got hollows hidden in them way up high is too much for me. I suppose you know every hollow tree in the Green Forest"
 "I wouldn't say that" replied Drum. mer, still speaking modestly. T guess I know every hollow in the Old Or. chard and I know a good many in the Green Forest, but I seldom come so faI in as this, so suppose there may be some around here do not know"
 Buster pretended to look disappoint ed. That's too bad" said he. T want to find few hollow trees around here and I thought you might tell me wher, they are. Pm sorry called you way over here for nothing"

A HORSE" ON BEAR HUNTERS
Villagers Shoot Up Clothes Horse,
 Thinking It Bruin

 Thinking It Bruin Randallstown, Md, joined the Harri' sonville- Pikesville- -Catonville bear hunt the other day.
 The entire male population of the village was called out just after mid. night on the report that a bear had been seen on Granite road, near the home of Arthur French. One burgher about to go to bed when the alarm sounded, did not wait to dress, but joined the hunt in pajamas and bed room slippers.
 The huntsmen, numbering about 5O, came upon what appeared to be the bear where Vincent Batz and Arthur Greenwalt, the youths who sounded the alarm, had said they had seen it. It was deemed inadvisable to wait un- til they could see the whites of the bears eyes, and the hunters opened fire at discreet thousand yards.
 That is why it was much later when it was discovered the hunters were firing at a clothes-horse draped with clothes.-Baltimore News.
