At almost any time of day, I'd walk right up to you, end say, "I'm Bob White; and who .'are you/ Pleased to Meet you 1 How -de -do l" I'm all right, and I'll do it, if yolt'1i meet me halfway. to it, led me play in your domain; do, not drive nie out again.' Small my heart, but it beats ;true. I'm your friend, I'1.1 work for you. I'm all ready, and I'll do it, if you'll meet me !halfway oto it! Bob White is any name, winter or summer, just the same. I want all to hear it, and know it; ,so, es plain- ly as I can, I preelaisn, "Bob White! Bob—Bob—W hvte l" I am fitted with bill and dew and feather to brave all kinds of wea- ther, •I can !hide from foes, and es - e ape from dogs, .and I get my own living with help from no one in fields and bogs, My greatest trouble is the winter snow, which hides my food, and covers it :so, I walk ,and walk, with red,wet feet, and hardly find enough to eat. To welcome the spring, my name I sing. In summer's drought I'm put-on ,a stump, calling rain and dew from the far -away that looks so blue. "More wet! More—more yet!" I am now such a big, strong, quick quail, it seems absurd -•=the tale I've heard, that, only as far back as pea -picking, I was a weak little, meek little puff of feathers. My mother says that two years ago e'he was a puff ! Now she is the mother of eleven children! I wi's'h that I had ask mother about my little hood, because I can't remember farther back than my tail feathers. I want to know why I wear 'a hood. I heard mother say that she was married in May, and she went to housekeeping at the sign of the Meadow Rue, where Stone Wall Mall crosses South Sea Avenue, Father helped select the softest green moss for carpets; the sweet- est, driest grass for bedding; and whitest thistledown for cushions. When my mother was sure that all was complete inside the house, she made the roof by sitting down; while father' sat on a near -by stump to keep guard and cheer mother with his gay .conversation. If the weather was clear, and no danger near, father would say, in his own brave way, "A-1-1 r -i -g -h -t 1" If it looked like rain, or a squall on the main, again and again he would, cheerily proclaim, "All right:" It was father's way to sing a cheerful lay on every kind of day 1 At dawn, he'd say, "Day—day— light !" Ab noon, "How how bright:" At eventime, "All—all right ! Mrs.—Mrs. White! Good --good—night!" One morning, when we were near- ly grown, father took us potato - bugging. We had a feast, and help- ed the farmer besides, but I am sorry to say that some one repaid our'kind act with a cruel one. Full of happiness, -and bugs,— we were just going home, when ---bang 1 went tt, gun. We were frightened, and we flew to 'the long grass, where we hid for a while. All except father. When mother had called "Kluie, kluie1" many times, we found her. But we never saw father again. By our coloring we oan'hide from our foes, but from a gun we cannot hide. One day in the grainfield, some- thing bean in the farther corner, and quickly .came toward us, mak- ing a sound like "r r -z -z -z -z 1" "Sit tight:" cried Mother White, with all her might, and before I knew what I was doing, I answered "All ri-ght! Ma—nae White 1" My song had come, and it was just like fat'her's! It wa.s a proud Moment for me. When the sound was near, we saw that it was made by a mowing ma- Chineand we were in its way. We children were greatly frightened. The winter was long, and except for that man's help we should have etarved. Aitee the rye that he had left had fallen, in widtvinter,-'he came out every flay and.eoattered grain on the enow. I know one thing, -and that is,—I will show my gratitude to him'in the potato patch! We do not always sing the same song: If yon listen in the showery morning, you may hear, "More— n10Se veb 1" .many 'times; but. some day, far off in the distance, if you listen , with your sharpest ear, you may hear, "Come ! Come, peel" lend you will know that it is I, call- ing my little elate. If you Baten, you will hear her vi- ewer, "All—all right!

NERVOUS CHILDREN The Trouble is Often Really St. Vitus Dance --Do Not Neglect It Many a child has been called awk- ward, has been punished in school for not keeping still or fur' droppiug things;rwlien the trouble was really St. Vitus Dance, This disease may appear at any age, but is most com- mon between the ages of six ,and fourteen years. It is caused by thin blood which fails to carry suffi- cient nourishment to the nerves, and the ohild becomes restless and twitching of the anusoles and jerk- ing of the limbs and body follow. In severe eaise,s the child is unable to hold •anything or feed itself. St. Vitus Dance is oured'by building up the blood. The . most successful treatment is to remove the ohild from all mental excitement, stop school work and give Dr. Williams Pink Pills. These Pills renew the blood supply, strengthen the nerves, and restore the child to perfect health, Here is proof of their pewee to cure. Mrs. Geo. A. MacDonald, Harrington, N.S., says; "My son was arttaeked by St. Vitus dance ; at the outset his step was weak and jerky. We called iii a doctor who treated him, but notwithstanding he continued to grow worse and at last grew so bad that he could not hold a cup in his hand, while his head constantly twitched, and his speech became rather indistinct. At' this junctura I saw in a paper the cure of a boy from similar trouble through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. We at once sent for a supply, and in a, few weeks after he began their use there was considerable improve- ment, and it was not long after this before he was completely cured, and has never had a symptom of the trouble since. I am convinced that there is no medicine like Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for the cure of St. Vitus Dance. If your dealer does not keep Dr. Williams' Pink Pills you can get them by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2,50 by writing the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. EATING A FAMOUS ROOF. Ravages of Beetles on the Roof of Westminster ]fall. More than five hundred years ago a foreman carpenter designed the hammer beam roof in Westminster Hall, and finished the job in 1397, charging six shillings a day for his genius. It was cheap enough, and his work might have lasted an- other five hundred years but for the Westminster beetle. The West- minster beetle has eaten into the wall beans until one can scoop out the rotten wood by handfuls, and the whole arched edifice is sinking by inches. Needless to say, the beetle is eat- ing into other parts of the oak be- sides the beams we have mentioned. Neither purlin, nor the longitudi- nal struts which form the side arches, nor the fine gothic tracery and carving are sacred to this in- famous parasite; but the wall posts and hammer beams and poets are principally mentioned because on them lies the work of supporting the hammer beam roof; and also because come of these great timbers RINGWORM ON FACE N SEAI.Y SPOTS Around Mouth and Chin.

We hops this description is moderately clear, and will, at any rate, serve to show bhe ingenuity with whioh the four- teenth century English carpenter devised his balancing system of stresses and thrusts. What is happening now is tha,b the weakening of the hammer posts and beams, as well as of the arches which spring from them, is actually pulling the wall posts and plates clear away from the walls. It will be necessary and sufficient to brace the whole structure together with a light and imperceptible steel frame- work, Little can be done to repair the ravages of the beetle, though steps ars being taken to fill up its cavibies and by means of various preparations of sulphur to discour- age any further activity on its part. The Westminster beetle is a grey- ish animal, not unlike a skate - shaped wood louse. It is the larva which dues the damage, and this warrior has an enormous appetite quickly eat its way. through the and very powerful pincer -like jaws. Confined in a corked bottle it will quickly eat its way through the cork. One speeime•n which was con- fined in a bottle with e, tin -protect- ed cork retired from the contest with the tin and was in danger of starving. Its life was preserved and its appetite restored by a meal of the familiar Westminster oak. The larva always eats its way in along the grain of the wood. The light golden -brown color of much of the roof is clue to a species of mil- dew or rust. SAVE THE CHILDREN Mothers who keep a box of Baby's Own Tablets in the house may feel that the lives of their'little ones are reasonably safe during the hot wea- ther. Stomach troubles, cholera in- fant= and diarrhoea carry off thousands of little ones every sum- mer, in most eases because the mo- ther does not have a safe medicine at band to give promptly. Baby's Own Tablets cure these troubles, or if given occasionally to the well child will prevent their coning on. The Tablets are guaranteed by a government analyst to be absolute- ly harmless even to the new-born babe. They :are especially good in elle summer because they regulate the bowels and keep the stomach sweet and pure. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. BEE -STINGS FOR DRUNKARDS Discovery Made by Accident in a London Hospital. According to the recent testimony of various English doctors and their ,patienes, some really wonderful cures of rheumatism and sciatica have been effected by the sting of the bee. In ons case a person crip- pled by rheumatism, for fifteen years was completely cured after he be- gan to keep bees and was contin- ually stung by them; while in an- other ease a lady who had been crippled for four ,years by an at- tack of rheumatic fever had bee - stings applied to the various affect- ed parts, and 'within a fortnight the stiffness and pain left her feet, an- kles, elbows, and finger -joints.

The discovery was made quite by accident in a London hospital. Five men were being treated for chronic rheumatism.

HOW TO COLOR, FLOWERS: Yon May Produce Any Colored Flower You 'Wish. Do you wish to obtain pink snow- drops and blue tulips/ A gardener in Holland, who many years ago produced a blue telrp, was offered the fabulous sum of eleven thou- sand francs for it. He refused the offer, thinking to make much more by growing more blue tulips now that he had succeeded in obtaining bis first blue tulip bulb. Alas! When that particular tulip bloomed again, it bloomed white, and no one ever again beheld a blue tulip. Yet, if you wish, you tan pro- duce a blue tulip, a pink lily of the valley, a scarlet narcissus. How It is all very simple. Buy some ani- line dyes at your druggist, choosing those which are easily soluble in water, such as scarlet, carmine, indigo. Or, if your mother has any of last season's Easter egg dyes left over, or if the has been dyeing dress goods, a solution of those will do. By placing the homers in these solutions of dye, you can obtain an infinite variety of "new species." By mixing a red and a blue dye, you can obtain purple or violet, and it you will employ alittle judg- ment in tinting the flowers you can obtain some startling effects. White flowers, pieced in any of ,these dyes, assume the color of that dye, but a yellow rose placed in a scarlet bath becomes, spotted or streaky. Camellias and white lilac show the oddest markings. The flowers to be tinted must not be emmersed in a bath of dye, but should be placed stern downwards in a glass containing the dye, as if being placed in water. The color will not wash off and., oddly enough, the dye seems to mot as a mild preservative, Ser the flowers will last several days longer than if placed in ordinary water. 1' EYE STRAIN Relieved by Quitting Tce and Coffee Many cases of defective vision ars caused by the habitual use of tea or coffee. • fes said that in Arabia whore coffee is used in Burge quantities, many lose their eyesight at about fifty. Tea contains the same drug, caffeine, as coffee, An Eastern woman writes to the point concerning eye trouble and coffee. She says : "My son was for years troubled'" with hie eyes. He tried eeveral kinds of glosses without relief. The optioian said there was a defect in his eyes which was hard to reach, "He used to drink coffee, as we all dad, alyd finally bait it and be- gan to use Postern.

A great many persons are of the belief that 'sharks, no matter what their size or species may' be, do nob kill or even attack human beings; some authorities declare the man- eater will only atomic the human form when it only, motionless; others that it will nob touch a human in the nude, only those that are dress- ed, writes Charles Bradford, in Outdoor Life. A friend of mine residing at Pen- sacola, Fla., resents all these de- clarations, and affirms that else shark of twelve feet or more will at- tack man or woman under all 001t- ditions—the body being etill or in motion, nude or lully dressed. He writes me: "E-undreds of human beings are killed and eaten annual - 1y by sharks. I personally witness- ed the killing of one man by a shark, and aided in killing the shark. The body of the man—that of Thomas As'he, pilot of delle schoon- er Wallace A. McDonald, sailing in Florida waters—was cut completely in two and sank in fifty feet of wa- ter. "After biting its victim the shark was about to devour the parts of the body when a we'll -directed har- poon ended its career. The shark may not molest human beings swim- ming in •shallow water or attack surf bathers, but it is certain rehab the species will attack man in deep wtuter," UNFIT TO LIVE—MUST DIE The verdict rendered a thousand times when corns get sore.

A man culled upon a physician for advice. The physician diagnos- ed the case as one of nerves and prescribed accordingly. The fee was five dollars and the prescription two dollars. The man had only five dollars. He said to the physiuiau "Doc, five dollars is all I have. Lend me two dollars and I'll have the prescription filled." The physician gazed at the man for a moment, then said : "I have made a mistake in my diagnosis. Your nerve is all right. You are affected with an enlarged gall. There is no remedy for that." Ask for adtnard's and take no other. Catching tip. "Willy do you insist upon having the biggest share of the pudding, Harry /" asked the mother of a small boy.
