Song Birds Wake Mrs. Steuenberg in Blackstone Triangle Club Entertained by Noted Mimic, Who Says Nebraska Has 427 Distinct Birds. Mrs. Florence Steuenberg. ornitholo gist. entertained members of the Tri angle club at their noonday luncheon at the Fontenelle hotel Tuesday. Mrs. Steuenberg can whistle the notes of 42 varieties of song birds. She has Identified eight choice song sters right In the heart of Omaha. From her apartment in the Black stone she has identified 18 different types of fine birds from her window— ami that does not include the Eng lish sparrow, she said. Her favorite birds are the oriole, cardinal, brown thrasher, woodthrush, and mockingbird. The mockingbird was her incentive for bird imitating. When but a wee child she started to mlmie it, and what first seemed a fancy became a profession, which later led to following up bird music study. Nebraska Has Many Birds. Mrs. Steuenberg stated there were 427 varieties of birds recognized in Nebraska and that only two states, Texas and California, have more birds than this state 1ms. Most of the best songsters, said Mrs. Steuenberg, are dull in color. The mourning dove is one of the first birds of the spring, and the whippoor will catches an enormous number of insects, "There is no music better than the whippoorwill," said Mrs. Steuenberg. “The meadow lark, early in February, always seems to say to me, ‘You are a lovely creature’—not to me—but to the creature on the nest.” Sparrows eat 875,000,000,000 of wheat seed In Iowa each year, she gays. Bird Friends at Blackstone. Recuperating from a serious op eration in Clarkston hospital. Mrs. Steuenberg said: "They get you up early enough there without the birds, but each morning about 4 o’clock the birds got me up, and from the hns 1 ltai window I identified at least ten different species of birds. The Ken-i lucy cardinal, who is a very bril liant whistler, I have often brought to my window." "In my apartment at the Black stone, I created a great deal of com ment and pleasure amongst the guests. At Intervals, when they would hear this particular bird hov ering around my arpartment as early ns 4:30 in the morning, it was not an uncommon remarks, Mrs. Steuen berg is up, for I would chirp back and forth with the cardinal." Mistress of Instruments. Mrs. Steuenberg was the first lady saxophone soloist on tire Orpheum stage, with which circuit she was connected for three years, retiring on nocount of 111 health.

It is the quickest-cooking oats in the world. It is perfectly cooked in from 3 to 5 minutes—long before the coffee. An hour could not cook them better. If you want quick breakfasts, get Quick Quaker for them. No different flavor Quick Quaker tastes exactly like regular Quaker Oats. Both are flaked from fhe finest grains only—just the rich, plump, flavory oats. All the puny and flavorless grains are discarded. We get but ten pounds of such (Takes from a bushel. But their super-flavor has made this brand the favorite oat dish the world over. In Quick Quaker the grains are cut before flaking. They are rolled very thin and are partly cooked. So the flakes are smaller and thinner—that is all. And those small, thin flakes cook quickly. Quick Quaker, therefore, is ready in five minutes. Get the style you prefer—Quick Quaker or regular. But insist, for your own sake, on the Quaker brand. You want children to love oats. It is for them the greatest food that grows. Each pound yields 1810 calories of nutri ment—twice as much as meat.

Your grocer has both. Be sure to get the style you want. □ Packed in eealed round package* with removable cover* I ■ Our Children By ANCiKI.O PATRI. Tantrums. "What's to lie done with Buster?” cried his mother. "He has the worst tantrums. If he is crossed about anything ho throw's himself on the floor and beats his head against it and yells until I think he will burst a blood vessel. Its awful. Tell me what’s to lie done with such a child.” Whenever you^hear about or see a spoiled child who has ant rums look for the person in tlie family who spoiled him. Tell that, good friend, kindly and firmly, that he Is on the wrong track and to please try to right him self so that Ihe child nmy he set right and keep right. There isn’t much use in correcting a condition In a child if the person who is re sponsible for the condition goes bliss fully on strengthening it. It may he his grandfather, or his aunt, or his nurse, or, saddest of all, it may be his mother. It was this time. "Who spoiled him?" I asked. "Aha. Spoiled him? I don’t just know what you mean.” “I mean who was it gave him every thing he cried for when he was very little. Who made a point of never letting him want for anything a single second after he had expressed a desire ior it; “Well, I don’t believe In letting babies cry, you know! I never let him cry. Do you call that spoiling him?" “Maybe! If, when he cried to be taken up and you knew there was nothing the matter with him, you examined all over lo make sure, and then you lifted him and carried hint about until you were tired and if, as you laid him down lie shouted In protest and again you lifted him in your weary arms and marched up and down the floor with him, that is what I mean. "And If when he grew tired of his rubber goat and cried for the watch on your arm and you yielded to him and let him ha%-e it until he got tired of It and sent it to keep company with the goat, and you lost all pa tience with him and slapped him and ho raised his voice to heaven In ear rending shrieks and your heart was troubled and you picked him up and cuddled him and said, 'Never mind, never mind, mother's own boy,’— that is what I mean.” "Perhaps I did do something like that. But what about his tantrums? What shall I do?’’ “Fill the bathtub and plunge him in, clothes and all, right into the cold water. Down and up before he can say ’scat!!’ lie’ll sputter and sthrt to shout again. |)uck him again! He rarely shouts the third time. H-Ti be quite calm and very glad to have you peel of his clothes, rub him well with a towel and put him to bed. "He's hysterical when he hag such tantrums and enld water is the quick est thing to use on sturdy healthy lit tle lads who Indulge in them. Same thing for the girls who have them too. It's much better than slapping them which only serves to irritate them further. “But remember, stop spoiling him because he will express his undis ciplined self in another way when he finds tantrums are excluded. Stop the trouble at its source which is yourself.” i "The poor little thing,” said she, (Copyright. 19SS ) • Bee Want Ads produce results. Burgess Bedtime Stories By THORNTON W. BURGESS. The Surprise of Farmer Brown's Boy. ■Of friendships that alone Is best That stands the unexpected test. —Johnny < ’huck. Farmer Brown's Boy tramped down I ho Long Litne. He didn't hurry. Ho knew that Bowser had chased some one and got him cornered. Tie knew that Bowser would stay right there, and so there was no need of hurry ing. “I wonder who it is that old scamp lias cornered this time," said Farmer Brown's Boy to himself. “Probably he has chased Peter Rabbit into that old stone wall. He'll stay there all day if T don’t take him away. I never “So you've treed some one!” ex claimed Fanner Brown's Boy.” did see such a persistent fellow as Bowser.” • When Bowser saw Farmer Brown's Boy coming he became more excited than ever. He barked twice as fast and hard as he had been barking before. The nearer Farmer Brown’s Boy got to him the harder Bowser harked. But Kammy Jay, who had been screaming excitedly, became si lent. H flew to another tree a little further away, and there he eat with out making a sound. Blacky the • ’row flew high overhead, and he, too. was silent. But both Hammy ami Blacky were quite as much excited as was Bowser. Now, Farmer Brown's Boy had ex pected to find Bowser harking at an opening among the stones of the old stone wall, so he was very much sur prised when he drew near enough to seo that Bowser was dancing about tho foot of a small tree, ard looking up into it. "So you’ve treed some one!" ex claimed Farmer Brown's Boy. "I wonder If it can be Bobby Coon.” Ha began to hurry. He could see that some one of quite good slr.o was crouching in a crotch of that tree, and he couldn't think of any one as big ns that who would be likely to be in a tree excepting Bobby Coon. But somehow that' didn't look like Bobby Coon. T^ie coat was the wrong color. "Well, 1 never!” exclaimed Farmer Brown's Boy when he reached the foot of that tree and could see clear ly who it was that Bowser had driven up there. “Well, I never! If it isn’t Johnny Chuck! I never expected to see you in a tree! No, sir, I never expected to see you in a tree! It must be that Bowser surprised you where there was no hole for you to get into. 1 have heard that Chueks sometimes climb trees, hut I never was suro of the truth of this. Now I know. Bowser, you rascal, keep still!” Bowser obeyed. He looked up at Johnny Chuck, and then looked up In his master's face and quivered all over with eagerness. Ho wanted his master to shako Johnny Chuck down, but of course ho couldn’t tell him so in words. He didn't need to. Farmer Brown's Boy understood the look In Bowser's eyes perfectly. He shook his head. "Nothing doing. Bowser,” said ho. “Nothing doing. You’ve made trouble enough for Johnny Chuck for one morning. You Just follow me back home and we'll give Johnny a chance to get down on the ground, where he belongs.” 1 He made a sign which Bowser knew meant that he was to follow. 8uch a look of disappointment as there was on Bowser’s face!
