Natures Children
BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.
Speckled Alder.
Alnus Incana.

n A LDER. the owner of all wa
- ~ terf1sh ground" w h a
~ would streams do without
4 4 these lovely guardians? And
what would Spring be
without the bright catkins reflected in
the water below? The alders are well
known throughout the United States.
There are few areas in which one or
more members of the family are not
represented. Though they form a
limited group of water-loving shrubs
and small trees, we have nine of the
20 known alders. Four are native to
the West, while two are found in the
eastern part of the country.
There are many interesting things
to remember about the alder. One
thing Is they are not given different
common names in the various parts
of the country where they grow. This
is a great help when you are trying
to remember so many trees and their
habits.
Wherever you &c you are told this
is an alder, the only variation being
that it's a red, white or mountain
alder, and to find that your old friends
are known by the same names you
are used to calling them by is pleas
ure.
Though they prefer moist places, the
trees and shrubs have been seen -four
ishing at an altitude of 1000 feet
above sea level. However. this is the
exception. and If given a choice the
alder takes the edge of a stream or
down in the moist meadow every time.
Another thing you should remem-
ber about the alder is its habit Of
shedding its leaves while they are
still green. You can examine the
leaves of nearby trees and shrubs
and identify those of the alder by the
straight veins that extend from the
midrib to the leaf margins.
In the Winter examine the buds
which mature early and are found on
the long stalks. The alder bears two
kinds of flowers on the same tWig, the
pollen bearers and the seed producers.
The pollen-producing flowers are the
male blossoms, and you will find them
at the ends of the twigS. They are
arranged in lovely, dropping taSsels,
and are from two to six inches long
The female flowers are lower on the
twig and in small clusters. They are
so placed that the golden pollen from
the swaying catkins will drift to the
clustered flowers near by.
This happy little tree is one of the
first to bloom in the Spring. Be sure
to make a note of this, SO you can
call on it to see how cleverly the flow
ers have been situated to serve each
other.
BY Autumn the place where the
clustered flowers were seen is now a
group of small, woody cones. about
half an inch long If you examine
Them carefully, and you will have an
opportunity to DO so this Fall, you
will not confuse them with the fruit Of
any other tree.
The largest alder in the United
States is the red alder, which grows
to be 40 feet high. This member of
the family is native son. of Cali
fornia, and has north and south

principal characteristics of this coat,
which is taken from the uniform
overcoat of a famous British regi-
ment. 1t is particularly good in navy
blue chinchilla.
Another formal type Of overcoat
which many men are pressing INTO
service for city wear and which also
is being worn evenings with formal
attire is the single breasted. fly front,
velvet collar Chesterfield coat, still
favOrite with certain men.
A group of overcoats, all Of which
serve specific purposes in a we'll
rounded wardrobe, includes a single
breasted box coat, either with plain
or half-belted back, for regular city
wear; a double breasted Chesterfield
for city wear; half-belted coat in
either single or double-breaSted mod
els; large, full. double-breasted
ulster for really cold days and espe-
cially good for foot ball and other
Fall and Winter outdoor occasions,
and a double breasted raglan, which
ranks second only to the double
breasted box coat in popularity this
Winter.

Bedtime Stories

ness. His tongue was hanging from
his mouth its full length. He was
gasping for breath and as he passed
Farmer Browns Boy he rolled his
eyes toward him in piteous appeal.
All this Farmer Browns Boy saw
at a glance Then he shut his lips
grimly as two big Dogs burst out of
the woods with the baying Hound
at their heels. Now that their quarry
was in sight they took the lead, for
they were faster than the Hound.
Their eyes were red with the lust to
kill, and so intent were they on this
that they did not see Farmer Browns
Boy waiting until stone struck one
squarely and brought sharp yelp Of
surprise and pain from him. At the
same instant Farmer Browns Boy
started for the other with his stick
and sent him racing across the Green
Meadows yelping.
Meanwhile the Hound had stopped.
He knew that he had no business to
be running Deer. He knew he had
no business to be hunting at all. He
turned and started to sneak away. A
stone and yell from Farmer Browns
Boy set him running at top speed. his
tail between his legs. Farmer
Browns Boy watched him out of
sight up the road Meanwhile the
other Dogs had separated and circled
off in the opposite direction. There
was to be no kill and they knew it.
The hunt was ended.
Farmer Browns Boy turned to look
at Lightfoot. He was standing little
way off, his head hanging, his tongue
still out, and he was trembling all
over. 1t was plain that he could
have run no farther His great eyes
were fixed on Farmer Browns Boy
and in them was no fear, only gen.
tleneSs.
You're all right, old fellow.
You're all right now," said Farmer
Browns Boy. You have nothing to
fear from those Dogs now If I
knew whose they are l would COM
plain about them, but l don't. They
are strange to me. If I ever catch
them around here again it will cr
hard with them. Just you stick
around until you are rested.
And that is just what Lightfoot
did. And over in the Green Forest
two pretty spotted fawns lay safe
with their mother because of the
bravery of their father.

our clothes must cling

single wrinkle or bulge should be
allowed to show through the surface
of your new frock. This is a season
when smart women begin at the be-

working in reverse.
The two little undergarments shown

important enough to assume the re-
sponsibility of making your figure ap-
pear advantageously symmetrical be-

appeal to women who dress con-
servatively. Instead of troublesome

future The whole process is psyche
logical. Ones imagination can per-
form miracles.
The broomstick and mud pie period
has its day But it does not cease to
be, psychologically. Activities only
are repressed. In imagination, miracles
are always being performed. The
transition from play to day-dreams Is
normal. There are some, however,
who cannot make this normal change.
Their day-dreams still represent real
tiles. From the ranks Of these realists
are recruited all sorts of psychopathic
personalities.
Some continually mistake their
fancies for realities. Not being able
to make the distinction, they tell tall
stories about their achievements.
These are known in every community
as pathological liars.
Some others are totally unable to
make property distinctions. They turn
out to be kleptomaniacs. They are
mentally unbalanced, because they
have ridden too far on broomstick
horse. Or perhaps the mud pies are
never baked.

1T IS held by the best authorities
on patronymics that this name
was chosen because of the advanced
age of the first of the family to adopt
a surname.
The ancestor of the Elders, who
came to America and settled in Penn
sylvania, was Robert Elder, who was
born in Scotland about 1879. He
went to Ireland and lived for a time
in the Province of Ulster, and from
there emigrated to America. He es-
tablished his home in Dauphin
County, Pa, and from him many de-
scendants in that State and other
sections of the country derive their
lineage
The Rev. John Elder, the son of
Robert, was a graduate of the Uni
versity of Edinburgh, and became a
Presbyterian minister. Besides being
minister of the gospel, the Rev.
John Elder was crusader for peace
and freedom. He served in the French
and Indian Wars and was given the
rank of colonel and commander of

Dogs should be running game Of any
kind at this season Of the year. Dogs
that sneak off to hunt on their own
should be shut up. A man who will
allow his Dog to run in Summer
shouldn't be allowed to keep a Dog.
Probably that one is running Jumper
the Hare, and I guess Jumper can
take care of himself"
He resumed his hoeing, but pres
emily stopped again to listen. That
Dog isn't running Jumper he de-
cided. "He is on the trail of bigger
game than Jumper the Hare. It may
be Reddy Fox If it is, Reddy will
soon get rid of him" He leaned on
his hoe and listened for few min
utes. "It isn't" said he aloud. THAT
Dog is running a Deer and no Deer
is in condition to be run this hot
weather. If it were not that I have
so much work to do and it Is so far
over there I would 60 over and head
that Dog of and teach him a lesson
he wouldn't soon forget"
He went on with his work, now and
then stopping to listen. At last he
dropped his hoe. That Deer is
headed this way" he decided, land
he is hard pressed, to judge by the
way that Dog is giving tongue. I'll
have to take a hand in this. No Dog
can run Deer on this farm in season
or out of season"
He looked about for stout stick
and picked up couple of stones.
Then he started across the Green
Meadows toward the Green Forest.
The baying of the Dog was loud now.
