The truth of thir rememher, neighbor: To build « home l» happy labor. Plunger the osprey. Tin* Building of a New Home. Farmer Browns’ boy gets up verv early. Living on a farm he has to. But early as it was when he came out of the house, and the very first thing looked over to the cart wheel tut top of a |H»le he had put up the day before on the edge of the Green Forest, he saw that others had been up Itefore him and already were at work. Mrs. plunger the Osprey was just alighting on that tart wheel with a stick. Farmer Brown’s boy chuckled. “They knew what I put that thing up I "They knew what I put that thing up for,” said he happily. for.” said he happily. "They have al ready begun to build on it." Just then he heard the shrill whisper of Plun ger and saw the latter also with a good sized stick. Hp joined Mrs. Plunger on the tall pole. He could hear them talking things overk Then they flew away, One went in one di rection and the other in another di rection. It wasn’t long before Plun ser was back with another stick. A few minutes later Mrs. Plunger ap peared also with a stick. "I wonder." thought Farmer Brown's boy. "why they don't use the material of that old nest, which fell with the tree when It" blew down." But there was no one to answer that question for him. Hail he carefully examined that old nest he might have guessed why Plunger and Mrs. Plun ger preferred to hunt for new- ma terial. As a matter of fact, they had looked over that old nest and had decided that there was very littls of it that would do. Many of the sticks In it had been there so long that they were decayed. "This Is to be a new home and everything about it shall be new,"1 Mrs. Plunger hail declared. And to this Plunger had agreed Mrs. Plunger took great pains in ar ranging those first sticks She wedged J A New Thorne Suits Long Slashed and Boyish Models V«ey S^Q50 Very Special av New F. W.

Plun ger n.is content to simply bring the slicks and leave them for Mrs. Plunger to arrange. They did a lot of talking about it as they worked. How* those two big Hawks did work. And how happy they were In their work. Forgotten now was the dis tress they had felt when they had re turned and found their old nest gone. They took lino- enough to go fishing over In the Big River, for of course they had to eat. But every other minute of the day they worked. It was surprising how the pile of sticks grew. It was Just the same way the next day. Plunger, flying over Farmer Brown's cornfield, discovered some old cornstalks. "Just the thing!” ex claimed plunger, and picking up one of them he carried it over to the new nest. "Where did you get that, my dear?" Mrs. Plunger asked. Plunger told her. and together they flew over to the cornfield for more. From along the edge of the Big River they brought rushes and water ■ weeds that had been cast up on the shore and had dried. At last the ne«^ * was finished. Compared with the old nest it \*as small. That was because the old nest had been added to year after year. They would add to this nest next year and every year so long ^ as they used it. ™ When the last bit of material had I been placed to suit Mrs. Plunger she I pave i sigh of pure happiness. “Now, iny dear.” said she, “we’ll go fishing We have a home once more. And until it is time for me to sit on the eggs we will have here soon we’ll play a little." And this is just what they will do. (Copyrifht, lf2l.)
