Mrs. Sparrow was right. In a few
days Mr.. and Mrs Robin flew up and
went straight to the tree where they
had lived the summer before and there
on their old nest sat Mrs. Sparrow, her
black. eyes swapping defiance at them.

limb of the tree.

THREAD WORMS

THESE troublesome parasites, also
= called pin worms or seat worms,
or awl worms on account of the anvil
shaped caudal extremity, occur occa-
sionally in adults and frequently in
young children.
They are small, round, and white,
occasionally in clumps or punches, and
found in the large intestine or the
lower part of the small intestine.
BY preference they choose the lower
end of the large intestine or rectum
for their residence.
They are occasionally found in the
stomach and have been observed in
the mouth, probably reaching it with
the vomited contents of the stomach.
They are lively and active and fire.
quently crawl from the rectum to the
adjacent skin, sometimes appearing
upon a child's clothing.
The female lays many eggs which
must be swallowed by man or animal
they do not develop outside the body.
Within two weeks after the eggs
reach the intestine they become full
grown worms, not easily destroyed,
and migrate toward the rectum.
The mature females then lay their
eggs, which may be passed out of the
body or remain and become new
colony of worms, this process continu-
ing indefinitely unless they are ex-
PEELED and exterminated.
The eggs are taken into the body
with food or water or by means of in
fected hands.
There is no difficulty in detecting
either the worms or the eggs, the ever
! present symptom being intense itch
ing which is very sleep-disturbing.
Other symptoms are irritability, and
fretfulness, burning pain, restlessness,
disturbance of the functions of the
bowels and bladder, loss of appetite
and anemia.
1t is not unusual for sensitive chill
dren who suffer with thread worms to
have commissions or st. Vltus dance.
No uncooked or partly cooked food
should be allowed; the chllds nails
should be kept short; and the fingers

Why the Major Didn't Suit

signed to the same stateroom as fell

a husky stockman from the Panhandle

A little later the cattleman, ignoring
the purser, hunted up the skipper.
'Look here, cap" he demanded,
'what kind of a joker Is this here

An Earnest Cry for Help

Our town. mean the one where
was born-formerly abounded in char
acters-"types" they'd call them in a
larger place. One of our local institu-
tons 20 years ago was black driver
named Abe, but called Old Abe for
short. Abe was popular with both
races, good-natured, loud-mouthed and
friendly. He had one social shortcom.
ing, though. About once in. so often he
would slip out on a dark night and ac-
Quire something of value without the
formality of speaking to the owner
about it. For awhile he escaped a
penitentiary sentence.
But eventually he was caught with
what the grand jury and the prosecut-
ing attorney regarded as the goods, the
said goods consisting of stray calf.
He was lodged in the Blue Eagle Jail
to await trial. His cell was in the
upper tier. On the Sunday afternoon
following his incarceration his wife,
accompanied by five or six of Abe's
pickannnies, came to pay him visit
1t was the first time she had seen him
since his arrest.
On her way out she was halted by
the deputy jailer, whose name was
Grady.
DORA he said, shave you hired a
lawyer for Abe yet?''
Nav, suh," she said, "effen Abe was
guilty, right away I'd git him lawyer
But he p'intedly tells me he amt de
leas' bit guilty. So, of co'se, dat bein'
de case, he amt needin' no lawyer to
git him clear"
From the floor above, down the iron
stairwell, came floating the voice of
Abe:
'Mr. Grady, oh, Mr.. Grady !-you tell
at fool niger 'oman down thar to git
a lawyer-an' git d--n good one,
too"

"We are all nice and comfortable

"Why, how you talk" said Mrs

ness of it here: 1.-THE note of the
American cuckoo is less peculiar and
therefore it does not seem to have at
tracted much popular attention Many
intelligent people are unacQuainted
either with the appearance or the
notes of the two specimens common In
the Northern states" To which might
be added that If 1t were not for the
cuckoo-clock the great majority of us
in this country would be entirely ig-
norant of the call of the cuckoo.
The cuckoo has had a reputation for
magical qualities from the days of the
Romans, and probably from before
that time. AS to the American SUPER
stition that the call of the bird near q
house foretells death the same super-
stition exists in Europe and can easily
be traced to the reputation the cuckoo
has of destroying the eggs in the
nests Of other birds before taking that
nest for his own purposes. 1T Is an
omen of death to the Matching eggs
when a bird hears the cuckoo near his
nest-his house. And SO man. for this
reason, came to associate the cry of
the cuckoo near his dwelling with the
same idea; an idea gliding naturally
into a fixed and enduring superstition.
And that all the more readily because
of the general mystic reputation Of
the cuckoo

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
tor1s of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store,
may be just the remedy needed to over
come such conditions.
Get a medium or large size bottle
Immediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure
and mention this paper.

World, the body of a young woman.
extensively dressed, was found in
thicket in lonely and remote part Of
Long island She had been murdered
shot through the head. Harry Stowe
of cur staff, since deceased, was the
first reporter to reach the place. The
body had not been moved; and In
searching about it Stowe happened
upon something the local coroner had
overlooked scrap of discolored pa
per, bearing printed and written words
in German upon it.
Stowe quietly slipped the paper into
his pocket and caught the first train
for town. He couldn't read German
himself, so he took his find to the office
of the German consul. There he met
an elderly, specialized, exceedingly
serious-Iooking undersecretary. who
translated the printed and written In
scriptions for him.
Then the secretary wanted to know
what it was all about. Stowe told him,
explaining that the identity of the
murdered woman was still profound
mystery nobody could guess who
or what she was. He described her
clothing in some detail.
'Pooh 70 snorted the German. "Stu
pid fools that these American police
men are! To the trained mind the
whole thing is simplicity itself BY a
process of elimination and deduction
it is possible to ascertain beyond ques-
ton exactly what manner of woman
this was.'
"Could you do it?" asked Stowe,
hopefully.
"In one little minute!'' said the un-
dersecretary impressively.
go ahead then, please, and do It,"
begged Stowe.

young friend, please follow me closely.
This paper shows that some woman
bought at a store in Leipsic certain
small articles, kitchen utensils-a
breadknife, a potato-masher, coffee
grinder. No woman in Germany, un-
less she was a housewife, would buy
such things. So!
"On the other hand, this woman, you
tell me, wore forty-dollar corsets. No
woman in Germany, unless she was an
actress, would wear forty-dollar cor
sets.
mo actress would buy common
household utensils. That would make
her a HOUSEWIFE No housewife would
wear forty-dolIar corsets. That would
make her an actress And there you

JOYCE

TN ONE particular era in feminine
4 nomenclature, names Of gladness
figured prominently. Joyce is one of
those. 1t is not extraordinarily popu-
lar and it is not nearly so pretty as its
French equivalent, Jocelyn. 1t signi-
fies-sportive or merry.
Etymologists tell us that it comes
from the French joie, which was
meant to express an inarticulate shout
Of ecstasy. The original cry is pre-
served in the Swiss jodel or shout of
the mountaineers. A number of femi-
nine names have come from this happy
source; among them the well-known
Joy. Jadoca, which is frequent in
Wales, and Jacosa still in common
usage among the English.
Joyce came directly from this latter
name. France took it but found it too
British and evolved the musical Joce-
Ign.
The emerald is Joyce's talismanic
stone. 1t is the gem Of youth and
springtime and hope. 1t is said to pre-.
serve for her the joyful legacy which
her name implies. Thursday is her
lucky day and A her lucky number.

THE CUCKOO

TN ENGLAND, in fact in all north

cluster around the cuckoo, where the
bird is "a fortune teller, weather
prophet, magical creature that can

omniscient being" In this country, so
far as the writer has been able to dis
cover there is only one superstition
regarding the cuckoo. In some sec
