THE 13073 -WHITE FAMILY.
"Do :little birds do just as their
:fathers and mothers do?" question-
ed Molly, as she loaned close to
Aunt Elinor, and looked across the
field to where "Bob -White" and his
family .had established a summer
home.
"Not alway.s," replied Aunt Elin-
or, slipping her arm about the little
girl. `Sometimes they loarn by
their own experience to have more
confidence in men and women and
children than their parents had."
"What is confidence 1" questioned
Molly, who always wanted the mean-
ing o#'things.
"Well, it's just the feeling you
have when you lean up against me,"
explained Aunt Elinor, with a little
laugh. 'You are sure I won't hurt
you, and you feel safe, as though
you were protected."
"Oh, yes," responded Melly.
"And de some birds feel that way
when they aro near people?".
Aunt Elinor nodded, "In coun-
tries where children are taught to'
be gentle and friendly with birds
they become very tame."
"Would those little Bob -Whites
ever have confidence in me?" ask-
ed Molly.
"Yes, indeed," said Aunt Elinor,
And that very day Molly went across
the field to where Mrs. Bob -White
was perched ori the low fence, talk-
ing to her little family.
Molly did not go very near. She
*at down on a big stone, where she
could Bee them plainly; but Mrs.
Mrs. Bob -White fluttered off the
fence and joined her family, and
they all scuttled away in the tall
grass. Molly rat very quietly, and
scattered the little bag of wheat she
had brought all about the rock.
After a while, as the birds did not
come back, she went home.
The next ;day she started down the
field again, for Aunt Elinor had
told her that she must be very
patient with all small wild creat-
ures, and that it would take many
visits before the quails would know
that she was a friend. As she came
near the rock where she sat the day
before, there was a flutter of wings,
and Mother Quail flow nff to her
porch on the fenoe, and Molly heard
a low, plaintive "Quoi-i-hes l" from
the little birds; but they did, nob fol-
low their mother very far. Molly
sat down in the grass, and saw the
little birds pick up the sweet grains
of wheat; and Mother Quail, after
a few scolding notes, came back to
cher family. But she hopped about
nervously, or mado little upward
flights.
Molly was sure that the birds
sere beginnig to know her. This
time she left some pieces of cake
near the rook; and every day for two
weeks she came faithfully to visit
the Bob -Whites. By this time they
began to' look for her, and these
wildest of wild birds had learned
what their parents had not known-
confidence in human beings. Aunt
Elinor would sit on the porch and
watch Molly go across the field, and
see the tittle Bob -Whites come al
most within reach of her little
niece's hand. Sometimes they
would even follow Molly a little way
toward the house in the most loving
and fearless manner, although their.
doubtful mother _called warningly
after her family, as though she had
not conquered al her fears, or as
though she would teach them not bo
be too ready to trust.
"They have learned. something
their mother docsn"t know, haven't
they, Aunt Elinor 1" Molly declar-
ed, happily, as she looked back to-
ward the birds, and remembered
what Aunt Elinor had told her of
the meaning of the word "confi-
dence,"&Youth's Companion.
IMPORTANT. PEOPLE.
Happy City is undoubtedly a very
orderly town -never more than ono
lynching a month being enacted
there -but is has an unenviable rep-
utation for cheating at cards.
A greenhorn, seeing life, visited
the only hotel the city' boasts the
other day and some companionable
gentlemen impressed him into play-
ing poker with thein. Against his
will he . played. Against his will,
also, he lost.
Realizing that all his money had
• departed and that he would, have to
walk about three hundred miles
back to civilization, he went to the
sheriff and said:
`Officer, I want you to arrest those
two men over there for forcing me
into a game of cards with them and
then swindling ine."
"Y'r askilt too much, stranger,"
replied the guardian of the law, "I
can't arrest them gents, One's th'
honored mayor of this 'ere city, an'
th' other's th' chief of the police."
"See here P' exclaimed the angry
man. "I wish you would muzzle
that dog of yours at night, His bark-
ing keeps my baby awake." "I was
just ging to request you to muzzle
your baby," rejoined the neighbour,

Attacks of cholera and dysentery
come quickly, there seldom being

for the purpose is Dr, J. D. Kel-

Seventeen years ago Mr. E. D.
Campbell, now a university profes-
sor and director of the chemical
laboratories in the University of
biiehigan, lost his sight through an
accident. In spite of his affliction
he has taken a high place in edu-
cation and has made original re-
searches of much value, especially
in the chemistry of iron and ce-
ment. He has just attended a ban-
quet in his honor at the University

an address on "The Effect of Free

was 18 years old when he became

darkness for seventy-two years, but
he was in active business till he

His two greatest works were tho
discovery and application of a new
principle in preparing the founda-
tions for lighthouses and piers and
his improvements in the screw pro-
peller. He built many lighthouses,
and long before hia death he had

inventions were conferring import-

in steam propulsion were used on

KEEP CHILDREN WELL
DURING HOT WEATHER
Every mother knows how fatal
the summer months are to small
children. Cholera infantum, diar-
rhoea, dysentery and stomach trou-
bles are alarmingly. frequent at this
time and too often a precious 'little
life is lost after a few hours' ill-
ness. The mother who keeps Baby's
Own Tablets in the house feels
safe. The occasional use of Baby's
Own Tablets prevent stomach and
bowel troubles, or if the trouble
comes suddenly -as it generally
does -the Tablets will bring the
little one through safely. Mrs.
George Howell, Sandy Beach, Que.,
says :- "My baby was suffering with
colic, vomiting and diarrhoea, but
after giving him Baby's Own Tab-
lets the trouble disappeared. I
would advise all mothers to keep a
box of Tablets always at hand,"

IMPORTANCE OF BIRDS.
So great is the part played by
birds in disseminating seeds and in
protecting plants by the destruc-
tion of noxious insects that Mr. H.
W. Henshaw reaches the somewhat
astonishing conclusion that if all
birds wore exterminated, not only
would successful agriculture be-
come impossible, but the greater
part of the vegetation of the earth
would eventually be destroyed. A
permanent reduction in the bird
population, he says, could not but
have disastrous consequences,
THE WAY.
When fate is dealing out hard
knocks,
Don't try to shake 'em;
Just buckle in and grit your teeth,
Then stand an' take 'em.

She's very apt to turn around,
And go a-scootin,
