Stories
By THORNTON W. BVRGESS.
Chatterer's I'ainful Surprise.
Greed is seldom very wise;
'Tie always open to surprise.
—Old Mother Nature.
Chatterer the lied Squirrel was
greedy. Chatterer was cruel. He
didn't think of being cruel. In fact
he didn't think anything about It.
Cruel people often are cruel because
they do not think. Chatterer wanted
eggs to eat, and he meant to get
those eggs in any way he could. So
as he climbed up to the home of
Drummer the Woodpecker in the
maple tree in Farmer Brown's door
yard his one thought was to get a
breakfast of those eggs that he felt
sure were in Drummer’s home.
'T hope there is a lot of them,”
thought Chatterer as he climbed.
"There can't lie too many to suit
me. 1 have chosen just the right
time, for with drummer out of the
way it will be an easy matter either
to kill Mrs. Drummer on the nest or
to scare her away. Khe probably
is sitting on those eggs, so I will
have to surprise and kill her before
I can get the eggs.”
Chatterer was in such a hurry and
so sure of himself that he wasn’t
even careful. He started to put his
head in at that doorway without first
looking to sec that everything was
as it should be. The instant his
nose appeared In that doorway. Mrs.
Drummer, who was waiting just* in
side. drove that sharp, stout bill of
her’s straight to Chatterer's nose.
Chatterer didn't have time to duck.
He was so taken by surprise, and the
blow of that hill hurt so, that he
actually let go his hold. With a
little cry of pain he fell down to a
branch below. There he caught his
claws In the bnrk, and was safe once
more.
It was lucky for Chatterer that
Mrs. Drummer had missed both his
eyes. Had that bill of hers reached
one of those eyes he surely would
have lost the sight of it. As it was,
he had been struck just above his
nose, a.id that had hurt quite enough.
Chatterer flew Into a dreadful rage.
He scrambled back up to that door
way, and oh, the dreadful threats he
made. He mentioned all kinds of
awful things he would do to 5b"s.
Drummer, but all the time he took
precious good care not to get his
face too close to that little round door
way. Meanwhile Mrs. Drummer said
nothing, but waited just inside ready
to strike with that stout bill of hers
at the first opportunity.
Then Drummer came home. Long
before lie reached the maple tree he
. ^
Willi a little cry of pain lie fell down

heard Chatterer's Wo ice and guessed
where he was. Drummer's heart
came right up in his mouth. How he
did fly. As soon as ha was near
enough, he saw Chatterer, and un
derstood what he was trying to do.
Drummer didn't hesitate a second.
He headed straight for home and
landed on the trunk of the tree close

mer took to his wings again and flew
to another part of the tree.
Chatterer now had his hands more
than full. He had more than he had
bargained for. He couldn't watch
Drummer and Mrs. Drummer at the
| same time. While he was watching
one the other would take the chance
to give him a sharp blow. Suddenly
Chatterer decided that ho didn't want
any eggs that morning. Young birds
would be nicer any way. He would
wait until those eggs hatched. The
• young birds would have to bo left
alone sometimes while their father
and mother hunted food for them. He
would have a chance then without
any risk.

Our Children
| Youth's Vagaries.
“What can l do with my daughter?
She Is 15 and instead of growing
closer to me, she is growing farther
I away. She used to come running to
tell me everything that happened.
Now she tells me nothing.
"I cun't imagine the reason. It
came about gradually until now I find
myself shuf out of her life. She has
taken a sudden fancy to the mother
of her school chum and tells her the
little things she used to tell me!
What can I do?"
Just be pntient, and keep on loving
her and letting her feel it. If. when
she was very little, you taught her
that she could count on you, if you
listened when she talked and sym
pathized with her and helped with
her plans, she will soon come back.
Moods and characteristics of adol
escence. The children have strange
lapses into gayety or gloom. They
take on new ways, sudden likes and
dislikes, unreasonable enthusiasm add
weird philosophies.
fiirls who have been rather self
centered beiome un-llke in their self
Immolation, and boys who have been
grave become gay and frolicsome. No
mood lasts long. Many of them are
puzzling and distressing to the par
ents and teachers of the children.
One girl who had been rather ex
clusive and given to drawing very
sharp social distinctions, suddenly be
came imbued with the idea that she
was obliged to carry "light and up
lift" to a girl who had no apparent
understanding of either and no taste
for them.
As the latter lived with her family
in a tumble down hut on the edge of
the town and had scarcely seen the
inside of a school house, preferring to
keep close to family tradition as to
dirt and ignorance, the young lady’s
mother was stunned arid horrified.
"It. Is my duty.’' said Adolescence
firmly.
After about six weeks of visiting
and playing and singing on the
wheezy old melodeon to the unregfn
erate victim, she suddenly ceased to
show the slightest Interest in her.
That phase was over!
A boy seemed to lose all regard for
his mother's opinion and spent every
moment he could snatch from press
ing duties with a woman as old as his
mother.
He was terribly downcast at the
idea that he could never marry her.
She wras a widow and engaged to be
married, but even that did not damp
his ardor. It had to wear Itself out—
along with the widow’s patience.
What can you do with the adoles
cent? You can keep a cheerful spirit
and let its light fall upon him, warm
ing him through and through. You
can meet his vagaries with smiling
tolerance and deep wisdo* that
teaches you to speak, but seldom
and then only when very necessary.
A quiet grin at the loud tie and
plastered hair; a matter-of-fact accept
ance of the giil of the minute, or
the "man of the hour," a broad
taken-for-g ran ted attitude will help
over the worst places. The teaching
of the first years will hold and they
will swing hack to common sense
again, never fear!

Why divide the family'
at breakfast ?
WHY take coffee for your
self, while saying “No” to
the children? It is true,
as most parents are careful to
explain, that little folks should
not endanger health and growth
through the drug element in coffee
and tea, but—
Your health is valuable, too—
and their desire for a hot drink
with, breakfast may be as great
as yours.
There's complete satisfaction in
Postum, and safety alike for young
and old. Postum is a pure cereal
beverage. It is coffee-like in color
and flavor, but free from any ele
ment that can harm. Thousands
who are now saying "No” to
themselves as well as to the chil
dren, as a safeguard against coffee
ills, have found better comfort and
better health, in Postum.
Your grocer sells Postum in two forms: Instant
Postum (in tins) prepared instantly in the cup by the
addition of boiling water. Postum Cereal (in packages)
for those who prefer the flavor brought out by boiling
fully 20 minutes. The cost of either is about one-half
cent a cup.
