T h-e y had all come out in full, and they, were leaning over and meeting high in the , center, and •talking to . each other. \It seemed that they had started . telling each other little springtime secrets early in the spring, and had gone closer together and closer to- gether as they had listened to each other. \So now the lovely branches met and made a beautiful tree archway all down the avenue. \All winter long they had looked at each other on either side of the road- way and they had said: \ 'When spring comes we'll have some talks!' \Then I peeped In at a birthday party. A little girl named Lucy was nine years old.' \She had some other children at her party, and they played all kinds of games. Puss in the Corner was one favorite. \They played the donkey game, too. There was a big sheet, and upon It was a painted donkey. Each child was blindfolded, and after haying been turned \around three times so as to be mixed up and to make the game harder, she was started oft carrying a- painted tail made of cloth which she was going to try to put on the donkey, \The one who got nearest In put- ting on the tall correctly won a prize. , \Then they had Ice cream and a large birthday cake with Lucy's name and age printed in pink letters upon the white frosting. \The table had a paper table cloth upon it with all kinds of pretty pic- tures of little Boy Blue blowing his horn and of children with sand pails and shovels at the sea-shore. The napkins were like the table .cloth, too. \Then there were fences made of cardboard with the same patterns, and these fences were put about the table. They were quite low. \The colors were all blue and yel- low, and Lucy wore a yellow hair rib- bon, and yellow socks, and a blue sash. \Oh they had a splendid time. \Then I passed a great many mem- bers of- the balloon family, all riding on motorcars. They looked very pretty and gay and festive, and they were very proud as they waved a 'hello' to me as they hurried by! \I saw some dear little pink leaves coming out, and I-knew the members of the White Oak family were slowly coming along. \I called upon a little Dicky blrd.too, who belonged to a little boy known to his friends as Pine. \Pine was very proud of Dicky and told how Dicky would sing, though really Dicky sang very little. ' \But even his chirping was music and song to Pine's ears. And Pine told me of Dicky's bath-taking, and how he never failed .to take a bath each morning. \Oh Pine boasted of Dicky, and of his bright yellow feathers. \Pine thought It was so wonderful that Dicky did everything standing on his legs. \ 'He sleeps- that way, he eats that way, he sings that way, he takes his bath that way,' Pine said. \I saw many garden flowers— lavender tulips, and white lilacs, and lilies of the valle y, and Johnny J u m p- Ups, and Striped Grass and Flower- i n g Almond bushes, and they all wished me such a polite good-day. \Flowers have such sweet man- ners. I saw two dogs Tub noses, too, and tell each other they were so glad to meet again. \My journey was interesting to me because I love to see all the different creatures and flowers and .people I can. \To me there Is so much that Is worth while to see, and It's all so very enjoyable,\ the Fairy Queen ended as she waved her wand happily.

STRANGE WAYS OF SLEEPING • H • Every Kind pf Animal Adopts Some Particular Posture In Whloh ' to Rest. Every kind of animal, Including, man, seems to have adopted sonm particular posture In which to sleep. Long legged birds, such as storks and gulls, have ' been observed to sleep balanced on one leg. Most birds^how- ever, sleep with their heads turned round over their backs. Often their beaks are hidden among the feathers between the wing and the body. Some curious exceptions, to this rule is the owl which sleeps sitting on a branch, and certain Indian parrots and bats which sleep only when suspended from a tree. The duck is the most unconventional of all. This bird sleeps .m the open water, and during Its slumbers paddles Itself with one foot in circles to avoid' drifting to the shore. Such a bulky animal as the sloth sleeps upside down, hanging by its four feet and with its head tucked be- tween the forelegs. The posture of the domestic cat is typical of many other animals. Foxes and wolves sleep curled up with their noses and the soles of their feet all close to- gether and often covered by their tails. Some animals sleep with their eyes open, others with them closed. A dog, especially an old one, occasion- ally sleeps while standing; a horse often does, while an elephant never lies down to sleep. Salmon and gold- fish are said never to sleep. BRULE PIONEER WILDS Explorer Is Now Credited With DIa. covery of Superior and the Other Lakes. Although his name Is not enshrined in history along with those of Cham- plain, LaSalle, Radisson, Marquette, Jollet, and many other explorers, Etienne Brule (with an acute accent on the Initial B and on the final e of the surname) Is said to have been the real discoverer of the Great Lakes of America, including Superior, the larg- est body of fresh water in the world. Brule antedates most of these great discoverers by many years. He Is said to have discovered the Great Lakes more than 300 years ago. Brule had no gilt o£ writing, and no personal account remains of what must have been one of the outstand- ing careers of adventure this ad- venturous continent has produced. In late life Brule, was denounced by Cbhmplaln as \abandoned as one who \lived without religion.\ It Is be- lieved by some persons that the judg- ment of subsequent historical writer* has been warped by Champlain's criticism of Brule's morals. They say that If Brule succumbed to the cus- toms of the native Indians, It was be- cause he was sent among them at a tender age by Champlaln himself. Having It Both Ways. The head of a girl with red hair, painted with charm and great dexter- ity, caught my eye. The picture was in that Interesting gallery, the Rue da la Boetie, and I was tempted to enter the shop and asked the price. The price was s o high that I remarked on It. The dealer smiled In agreement. \But you see,\ he explained, \the painter is dead. Finished. There can be no more of his work, and therefore it costs mucli.\ I made a tour of the walls and found another picture, this time a landscape, very simple but true and beautifully composed. It was signed \Grosjean.\ I asked the price of It also, and as with the other the price was so high that I remarked on it. The dealer smiled In agreement. \But you see,\ he explained, \the painter Is 'alive, and living Is ex- pensive. It is necessary therefore to charge much.\—Punch. Rival to Monte Carlo. Helgoland, the little island in the North sea, seeks the laurels and In- como of Monte Carlo. The island resort Is about to build a gambling casino, which, It Is hoped, will bring sufficient earnings to the local government to make all the island folks free from taxation, just as the residents of Monaco, the prin- cipality wheie the Monte Carlo casino is located, are free from taxes. This is to all intents and purposes a declaration of war by Germany against France, so far as getting the tourist gambling business of Europe is concerned. Helgoland has always- been a fa-' vorite resort, largely patronized be- cause of its beach. Now, in addition, the local government plans to erect a casino which will draw a new and wealthier class to Its shores.—Cleve- land Plain Dealer. A Difficult Task. \You know Wombat, the author?\ \We are acquainted.\ \That baby of his has some cute expressions.\ \Yes. Wombat confided to me the other day that Mrs. Wombat wanted it so.\ ^\Huh?\ '\So Wombat taught 'em to the baby, and he says he had a deuce of a time doing It, too.\.

(QUTLAW strikes are still of fre- quent occurrence in the anthra- cite mines in spite of the. 10 \per cent, wage increase which the mine work- ers received under the terms of Gov- ernor Pinchot's plan for settling the general strike of September 1. Since that strike ended on Sep- tember 19, more than 20 outlaw strikes occurred up to October 19, involving- from 160 to 19,000 men, and lasting from one day to more, than a week. In all, more than 30,000 men have been involved in these disturbances with an estimated loss in production Of 125,000 tons of coal. As a rule, the causes of the out- law strikes were trivial. At two col- lieries the men were called out be- cause two miners refused to pay fines of $25 imposed by the union, and the employees of a third col- liery struck in sympathy, involving a total of 1,800 men. Nine hundred men at the Central colliery of, the Pennsylvania Coal Company at Pittston struck because theboss fireman at the mine refused : to jom.the union.' At another mine ? th ^,A ame company, also at Pitts- ton, _ 150 employees struck because a driver boy, who was employed in Detroit during the recent suspension of mining activities, was not given his place on his return. The fore- man refused to, displace the youne man- holding down the job. In_ another case 200 men walked out in an attempt to force the dis- charge of a miner. About 250 men struck at another colliery because of a dispute over the amount of \top- ping\ to be put on coal cars. Some of the outlaw strikes were caused by disputes over the opera- tion of the new contract, the men having been called out by local' grievance committees in violation ol. th$ agreement. I WAYS OF WOODLAND ROACH MILLIONS OF BOOKS PRINTED Not Usually a Household Pest, but Enters Homes In Search of Paste. The female of the form of animal life known as the woodland cockroach, because It lives in the woods, carries Its eggs in an egg case, which projects from the end of the body and consists of two cells, divided by a partition. Within each of these cells Is a row of pouches, each containing an egg. The egg cases are carried 'until the eggs are about ready to hatch. Newly- hatched young are most common from the middle of August until November, and the young, In various stages of de- ' velopment, are found beneath loose bark in the woods throughout the winter. The woodland cockroach, while it Is not a. common household pest like Its relative, the German cockroach, or \Oroton bug,\ spmefimes enters houses In or near the woods, when it damages wall puper and the bindings of books to get at the paste.—Detroit News. Ship's Starboard. The starboard side of a ship was at one time the steer-board side, In memory of the Anglo-Saxons who used to steer their boats by patting out an oar on the right-hand side of the stern. Suspicion Cleared Up. A quack advertises himself as the guy who put \ease\ in disease. That, apparently, clears up the long stand- ing suspicion that the quack had been responsible for the \-act\ In bacteria. \Most Virtue Is Fear.\ Seven-tenths of the most reliable vir- tue is little more than fear.

Have you ever wondered- how many books there are. in existence? On the average 200,000 volumes are published each year throughout the world, and as 8,500,000 appeared, last century, one can obtain a fairly good Idea of the slze'of the world's bookshop. Adding together the number of vol- umes published in each country since printing was invented, the astonishing total of 00,000,000 Is reached, iho amount of energy, time, paper and printers' Ink which have gone to pro- duce all these books Is absolutely in- calculable. The three largest libraries In the world are the British Museum library, In London, which lias 4,000,000 vol- umes; the Bibliotheque Natlonale, In Paris, which has 3,000,000, and the Li- brary of Congress, in Washington, with httif a million less. Thus, between them alone, these three great institu- tions possess 9,500,000 books of all kinds. ULLAGE OF CHESS PLAYERS A Real Loafer's Paradise, t-robahiy the laziest people in the world are Svatnians, who live In the Inaccessible mountain range between the Black and Caspian seas. They have made no advance toward civiliza- tion In 2,500 years. It is their invari- able rule to observe holidays four times a week, with saints' days as extras. Market for Costumes. At intervals a steamer leaves Lon- don en route to a port on the east coast of Africa with a cargo of old theatrical costumes. The costumes are imported by traders, who are found all over Africa, and are sold by them to .tribes in the* interior, the medium of exchange being cattle, curios and animal skins. Everybody In Stroesbeck, Germany, Plays Game and It Is Taught in Schools. Stroesbeck, Germany, a little peasant village of 1,500 souls, boasts that it contains not a man, woman or child of school age who does not play the an- cient game of eheSs, says a corre- spondent of the New York Tribune. Even the small children have kings, queens, knights and pawns as play- things. Stroesbeck's fondness of chess dates back to the Eleventh century, so the story goes, when Count Gunnelln, of the Wendish tribe, held here as a prisoner of the bishop of Magdeburg, made his own chess board and taught his prison guards to play. Chess is taught In the schools and the children carry their chess books and their chess boards like children In the United States carry grammars or arithmetics and slates. Pupils in the elementary classes In Stroesbeck must pass an examination In chess and to the winners of the contests the village authorities give prizes—chess boards aftd pieces. i Chess boards are painted on the houses, Inside and out, the dining ta- bles and the sitting room tables In juearly all homes are chess boards themselves, and even the decorations on the walls of the houses are .draw- ings or paintings of \some great game\ locally, or unusual play of checkmate by some player of renown. Though Stroesbeck has been playing chess all these centuries, none of its citizens has ever attracted more than local fame. But the names of the world chess masters are almost sacred here and the life of each Is known to every child. MRS.

The arctic bear Is not an hibernating animal, for It Is only the female that sleeps through the winter, writes Ju- lian W. Bilby, in his book, \Among Un- Ttnown Eskimo,\ says the Detroit News. The pair hunt together until the approach of winter, when the fe- imale, fat and i n the pink of condition after the summer months of good feed- ing, searches for a suitable place in •which to retire and bear the cubs. She generally chooses a sheltered spot on land, where the- snow lies deeply drifted. The two partners seratch out a comfortable cave In this, and the female then enters and rolls herself up to sleep. The male bear blocks up the en- trance, and the next fall or drift of snow effectively completes his task, and obliterates all traces of the ani- mal's activities. Then \he takes him- self off to roam about at his own sweet will, and attend to nobody's appetite but his own for the next few months, returning to the female only In the spring, when she emerges from her hiding place, gaunt and hungry, and accompanied by her cubs. Whose Feet Are They, Then.? The little boy complained that his shoes hurt him. His mother looked at them and saw that in his hurry to get dressed he had put the right shoe on the left foot, and the left shoe on the right foot. \You've put your shoes on the wrong feet, dear,\ she explained.

Ignoring her resisting hand, he thrust aside the cover of the basket on her arm, and then whist-led. \Ohj peddlin' fruit agen. heh? Business good, kid?\ She stamped her foot in a rage. \Lemme alone,\ she demanded, eyes like live coals. \I'm not sellln' 'em.\ \B'gosh an' it's sortaln ye mus' be carryin' yer lunch.

I remember it. I know how they feel. So alone—so strange— but oh, so hopeful. Oh, what America means to them! Hope—life—a new chance. Oh, how I love It! How great It feels just to know I'm here—part of that,\ and hazedly, she swept her hands toward the crowded New York skyline. \I'm here—happy—free— American—oh I\ And the reverent look of a worshiper Intensified -aj she gazed at the flag streaming proudly -fifty feet away.

The first was Rosle's remark on her return trip from the island as she drifted abstractedly past him with an empty basket. \Cine fella, Tim,\ she confided, dreamy-eyed, \and oh, how he can play.\ The next day Mike wondered again as Rosie, strangely silent, carried to the island another full basket of or- anges —and some cigarettes in her hand. And she repeated this on tfca third day. And for the third time Mike won- dered, as a few hours later that day, Tony Bucceri, accompanied by • an of- ficial, stepped off the ferry to the is- land. Mike overheard his excited tones. \What I care for da mon? Rosie say 'sure.' She knows.

Impassioned gaze with compound in- terest, stepped aboard the ferry, fol- lowed meekly by Tony, bearing a for- eign-looking bag. \What's It mean?\ demanded the amazed Mike, as he confronted the strange group. \It means—he's an American now— or will be,\ volunteered Rosie, hap- pily. \I know he'll love it. I hope he'll love us* too.\ And the rose tint of her cheeks brightened to a crimson red. \It mean,\ grunted Tony\ contented- ly, \It mean maybe she'll stay home more now.

Queer Ways of Japaneso. \When I first went to Japan,!* a long-time American resident of that country is reported In the Type Metal Magazine as saying, \they seemed to do everything the wrong way. They sawed wood by drawing the saw toward them. They backed their horses into the stalls. When our clocks were striking one, theirs would strike eleven. Their blacksmiths worked sitting down and when they wanted to rest they stood up. But gradually I learned that there was a logical reason for each of these seem- ingly queer habits. \Pulling the saw prevented buck- ling. 'When are you In a hurry— when you put your horse In the stall or when you take him out?' was the answer of the man who was questioned about the horse. As to the clock, It seems that the Japanese prefer to know how many hours are left in the day rather than how many have passed, And the blacksmith who sits down works with his feet as well as his hands—literally, he has four hands, and he rests all these when he gets up.\ BRIDE FACES FIRST TRAGEDY Had Just Returned From Her Honey. moon When Misfortune Befell Her. They had just returned from their honeymoon; a trip of bliss, joy and happiness, all three. He kissed her good-by as he started for the office, and murmured many endearing tilings into her ear, all of which she kept there. The day was slowly fading, and a feeling of terror stole over her. A grim waiting of she-knew-not-what numbed her senses and stirred her im- agination already boiling over. Why did nob her mother warn her? O, why did they not forbid her mar- riage? It was too horrible to contem- plate—that they wilfully sacrificed her to their ambitions. Impossible! Yet, yet—? \O If she dared only open that door, just to satisfy her wild Imagina- tions. O, If something would only happen to relieve the tense strain she was laboring under. And she must face It alone—alone! Yes, she must see what was going on behind that door—yes, if the sight should kill her—she mustN The mys- tery must be solved If her death should result—or even the loss of her hus- band's love. She started for the door; but her knees gave way under her and she collapsed on the floor. Ah, brave heart! She arises! And again crosses the floor to the door, full of portentous silence. What a dread suspense! Beads of ley perspiration dashed to the floor and splashed back again. O, she must—she must! • Slowly ten more minutes dragged their weary length along:—they seemed ages. Then with a strength born of a desperate resolve, she rushed across the floor and flung open the door. A cloud of smoke rushed from the oven. Her first pie had burned to a crisp. —Detroit Free Press. HOW TO KNOW STAGE PLAYS Infallible Signs That Show the Amateur to What Class They Belong. If all the characters are dressed In queer looking costumes of an un- known period and speak their lines like a young politician making his first address, It's a classical play, re- marks Life. If it's filled with quotations you've heard before, it's probably Shake- speare. If after four acts and thirty-one scenes you haven't the slightest Idea what It's all about, It's undoubtedly the masterpiece of a Russian play- wright. If the first scene Is liberally sprin- kled with amours and disparaging discussions of absent husbands, It's French farce. If the dialogue Is made up chiefly of profanity and vile epithets, It's the work of a \realistic\ writer. If It bores you, It's \strong\ drama with a \message.\ If the chief male character wears cowhide boots with his dinner clothes, It's a drama of American finance. If the comedians wink confidentially at the audience, they're about to spring a prohibition joke. If the trap-drummer whangs a gong two or three times as the curtain rise3, It's positive proof you're going to wit- ness a Chinese play. And If you find yourself enjoying the show, It's sure to be a cheap bit of clap-trap calculated only to emlch the producer.
