Appreciation.
My muvver’s ist the nivest one
’At ever lived wid folks; .» »
She lets you have ze mostes’ fun, , ■
An’ laffs at all your jokes.
i * * H f|£P
I got an ol' maid auntie, too, i
The worst you ever saw;
Her eyes ist bore you through and
through— i
She ain’t a bit like ma.
She’s ist as slim as sl&n can be,
An’ when you want to slide
Down on ze balusters, w’y, she
Says ’at she’s horrified.
She ain’t as nice as Uncle Ben
What says ’at little boys
Won’t never grow to be big men
Unless they’re fond ef noise.
But muvver’s nicer zan ’em all;
She calls you "precious lamb,
An’ lets you roll your ten-pin ball,
An’ spread your bread wiz jam.
An’ when you’re bad, she ist looks sad,
You fink she’s going to cry;
An’ when she don’t, you’re awful glad,
An’ den you’re good, oh, my!
At night she takes ze softest hand,
An’ lays it on your head,
An’ says, "Be off to Sleepv-Land
By way o’ trundle-bed.”
So when you fink what muvver knows
An’ aunts an’ uncles tan’t,
It skeers a feller; ist suppose
His muvver ’d been a aunt.

Today’s Game.
Did you ever play Cat and Rat?
Well, this is the way it’s done:
One player is chosen for cat and one
for rat. The others all form a circle
with clasped hands. The cat stands
outside of the circle and the rat in
side. The game opens with a conver
sation between the cat and rat.
The cat says: "I ara the cat."
The rat says: “I am the rat.”
The cat says: “I will catch you.”
The rat says: “You can’t.”
This last defiance is a signal for a
chase. The cat tries to get into the
circle, and the rat tries to evade him.
Both may run in and out the circle,
but the other players will assist the
rat by raising their hands to let him
run under, and they will try to foil
the efforts of the cat by preventing
his breaking through the circle either
inward or outward.
When the rat is caught lie joins the
circle and the cat becomes the rat; a
new cat is chosen from the circle of
players.
The game is played with 10 to 30
or more players.

its men are practically all from Illi
nois. .<
Their blood has dyed the soil * of

I
Many Heroes Decorated.
Maj. Roberts’ letter tells also of a
large number of citations and decora
; tions for the men.
In presenting the colors Col. Dun
1 can said:
“We are proud of the opportunity
to have fought with France for a
world-wide democracy and independ
ence. We have j,iven you the best
there is in us, and we have given it
with the fullness of our hearts.
“As an evidence of our love for
Fiance, as an evidence of the love we
! give to you, to your division and to
| your army, of which we have the
honor to be a part, we present to you
| our colors. May they wave in bene
diction over France as they float in
America.”
French Chief’s Tribute.
General Vincendon replied:
“I shall religiously preserve this
national emblem of America, in re
membrance of the time when I had
under my orders the valiant 370th U.
S. A., when we fought together on the
soil of France for the triumph of
right and liberty.
“The noble cause of which we were
and remain the champions, the blood
shed by your men, mixed with that of
their comrades on the devastated
banks of the Ailette and Serre, con
stitute between us an unbreakable
bond.”
Three times representatives of the
Regiment were honored for valor.

CHIPPING SPARROW 1
Spizella passarinti
- - i
Length, about five and one-fourth
laches. Distinguished by the chestnut
crown, black line through eye. and
black bill.
Range: Breeds throughout the Unit
ed States, south to Nicaragua, and
north to southern Canada; winters in
: the southern United States and south
■ ward.
Habits and economic status. The
j chipping sparrow is very friendly and
1 domestic, and often builds its nest in
gardens and orchards or in the shrub
I bery close to dwellings. Its gentle and
i confiding ways endear it to all bird
| lovers. It Is one of the most insectlvor
i ous of all the sparrows. Its diet con
! sists of about 42 per cent of insects
I and spiders and 58 per cent of vege
I table matter. The animal food con
! sists largely of caterpillars, of which
It feeds a great many to Its young.
Besides these, it eats beetles, lnclud
' ing many weevils, of which one stom
! ach contained 30. It also eats ants,
. wasps, and bugs. Among the latter
are plant lice and black olive scales.
The vegetable food is practically all
weed seed. A nest with four young of
this species was watched at different
I hours on four days. In the seven
j hours of observation 119 feedings were
i noted, or an average of 17 feedings
per hour, or four and ofce-fourth feed
ings per hour to each nestling This
would give for a day of 14 hours at
least 238 insects eaten by the brood.
