WORTH THE PRICE
An old sailor had retired from

the sea. Each morning, a young
lad knocked at his door, went
in and came right out again.
Finally, curiosity overcame the
neighbors. One stopped the boy
and asked. "Why do you visit the
old sailor every morning." The
boy replied, "He gives me a dime
a day to come to his house and
say, The captain wants to see
you immediately Then he
roars, Tell the captain to 60 to
blazes.'"

No Encouragement

Actor Sir Cedric Hardwicke lis
tened while a man told a long
story. But the man spoke so in
distinctly and muffed his punch
line so badly that the story wasn't
funny. 'Why did you laugh?" a
friend asked Hardwicke afterward.
II always do" the actor replied.
1T you don't laugh, there's dan
ger of their telling it over again."

Among birds OF the sea, glllS
stand out. They hike the coasts,
and feed on fish, both living and
dead. Some kinds of gulls consume
great numbers of minnows, but
others go after larger game.
There are gulls which might be
called beggars. They have learned
that food is likely to be obtained
from ocean vessels. Often they
hover around ports, meeting the
boats which come In. People on
board toss them pieces of bread or
cake, and they seldom let such food
go any farther than the surface OF
the water. often they catch a bit
in midair.
Gulls have long wings and webbed
feet. They are experts at gliding
through the air. 1t seems strange
how long they can sail without
tapping their wings.
In spring we find gulls nesting
on land close to the water. They
may choose an island or point
of land where people seldom go
More than 1000 nests OF gulls
have been observed on a single
small island off the coast of Maine
When gulls get together in such
a nesting place, there comes 8
time when thousands of youne
gulls wait for their parents tt
bring them food. 1t is claimed thai
mother gulls always know theil
young, and are careful to give fooc
only to their own children.
Gulls are most common about
the coasts Of seas and oceans
Some kinds, however. spend theil
time about the lakes and rivers. Ths
inland gulls feed on grasshoppers
and other insects, as well as or
fish. Perhaps you remember tht
