Egret the Great White Heron hardly
knew what to make of things. He had
been shot by one of those two-legged
killers with terrible guns. but had
blamed Farmer Browns Boy for it.
You see, he thought all of those two
legged creatures were alike. AS mat
ter of fact, Farmer Browns Boy had
frightened the hunter away and so had
saved Egretss life. Then he had caught
Egret and brought him home, where
he had made q comfortable pen for him
in the barn. But first of all he very
carefully examined that wounded wing
and put medicine on it to help it heal.
He was very gentle about livery gentle,
indeed,
Egret, believing that Farmer Browns
Boy was responsible for his pain and
fright, struck at him whenever he got
the chance and once he narrowly missed
one of Farmer Browns Boys eyes.
Farmer Browns Boy was more cautious
after that. He went down to the Smtl-
ing Pool and got some frogs and min
nows to feed Egret. At first Egret
would not touch them, but when he
thought no one was watching he Swal-
lowed one Of those minnows. Right
then and there he discovered that he
was hungry. Two more minnows and a
couple Of small frogs went down that
long white throat. He felt better then.
1t is curious. but true, that no matter
what our troubles are, we almost always
feel little better after good meal.
Egret began to watch Farmer Browns
Boy. He discovered that Farmer
| Browns Boy was always gentle. He
always spoke in soothing way. Egret
began to change his mind.
This fellow doesn't seem to mean
me any HARM" thought he. Perhaps
he wasn't the one who caused me all
| this pain and trouble. anyway. I guess
I won't try to bite him any more.
won't strike at him unless he gives me
some real reason for doing So"
| So it happened that almost at once
Egret and Farmer Browns Boy became
| the best of friends. Egret would allow
no one else to touch him, but Farmer
Browns Boy could do what he pleased
with Egret. You see, having changed
| his mind Egret went to the other ex-
! IRENE. He actually looked for the COM
| ing of Farmer Browns Boy. Perhaps
that was because Farmer Browns Boy
| seldom failed to bring him fish or 6
| frog or some other tidbit. He would
| let Farmer Browns Boy examine and
dress that injured wing and never once
| offer to strike.
It was a queer life Egret was living
He who had always lived in swamps OIL
marshes in far places, where he seldom
saw man, was now living in one OF
mans own buildings. There was moth
ing familiar to him. The only water
he ever saw was in. the pail from which
he picked out his fish. Yet Egret wasn't
altogether unhappy. He never had tt

Historic Wisecrackers of the Table
II. Famous Clergyman Turned Some Good Jests Upon
Eating and Drinking.
By J. p. GLASS.

Members of the clergy always have
seemed to have good appetites, and 1t
must be admitted that a great many
of the pleasures of the table have. been
due to the researches of the monas-
teries, particularly prior to the Renais-
Sance.
Wittiest OF all clergymen, perhaps,
was Rev. Sydney Smith, who has been
mentioned previously in this series. A
good sample of his style is contained
in his last letter to the famous Canon
Barham, who had just sent him a pan
nier of pheaSants

writes, for your kind present of game.

Camp stools can be put to many uses.
They are just the things to take about
when one is going to some out-of-door
show or exhibition where there will be
much waiting about or to band con-
certS in the open air where no settees
are provided for the crowds. Unless
women enjoy standing, they should pro-
vide themselves with these easily car
ried about seats. for then they can take
in many Summertime pleasures without
getting overfatigued. Fortunately, these
old-fashioned camp stools are again
coming into vogue. The fact that the
stools are collapsible puts them in a
class with tuck-away furniture that
takes up the smallest amount of space
when not in use.
Apart from its recognized purpose,
a camp stool can be put to varied uses.
One is for a foot rest. BY using
one of these stools with a loung-
ing canvaS-covered porch or beach

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE
BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. d.

Speaking from both professional ana

that the most annoying feature of acute
appendicitis is the bellyache that so
commonly introduces it. Were it not

the public is not aware of the danger
of giving 1axatives or physic of any
kind in the presence of bellyache.
OF course do not mean to imply
that every bellyache spells appendi-

When frying doughnuts, have a
dish of boiling water on the stove
beside your kettle of fat, and as
you take the doughnuts out of the
fat. immerse them quickly in the
water. They will not be greasy.
In making coffee, the water
must be boiling at the top-boiling
point before it is poured on the

the most efficient extraction of
