When Things Go Wrong

The bread forgets to rise
And little Minnie tears her dress
And all the babies cry
Oh dont sit down and mope and sigh
And fret and Avorry so
But dress the kidlets and yourself
And see The Electric Picture Show
When all the World looks blue to you
And you begin to fag
Your head to ache your heart to break
And appetite to flag
Just lock the door and leave your cares
Behind you as you go
And spend an hour of solid joy
Seeing the Electric Moving Picture Show

Workman
as
Theres some common sense even in
a blackbird A small army of thosej
dusky leathered fliers have been
demonstrating each day that they ob-
serve hours of labor just as strictly as
any workman in town
Living In the big aged trees on
Bethany College campus are thou
sands of these blackbirds Each night
they perch in the topmost branches of
these trees Each morning at day-
break they leave their homes and fly
in great numbers to the east side of
the city There they remain all day
doing their work of gaining a living
in the fields at the outskirts of town
But they dont work overtime not
these birds Each evening at exactly
six oclock the leaders fly west to
their homes at Bethanycgrounds again
The leaders are followed by hundredsj
of other birds of the black wing They
fly in a straight line several blocks in
length Many persons in Topeka
have been watching the iblrds for
some time and have observed that
they never fail to return from their
days work at the same time ech

TRAP OF HIS BOYHOOD DAYS
One of the Familiar Sort Set by Lacfa
Awakes Reminiscences of
City Man
I used to set traps like that this
man said referring to one which some
boys had set up in a city street to
catch sparrows
It Avas a small wooden box turned
bottom side up and set at the outer
edge of the sidewalk with one end
lifted and supported on a stick One
end of the stick Avas on the sidewalk
and the other end under the box edge
The boys put some oats on the side
walk under the box and to the sup
porting stick there Avas attached a
string leading across the sidewalk to
the house area the boys lair When
the sparrows came under the box to
get the oats you pulled the string and
twitched the stick out and down came
the box to trap the sparrows under it
Or that was the idea
Jurt like that this man went on
Thats a time honored sort of trap
We didnt have any sparrows then
Avhat Ave used to try to catch was
pigeons doves and we used a bigger
box a soapbox and Avhat Ave used to
put under it Avas bread crumbs
Time and again Ive set up such a
trap in a street where pigeons used
to come around and baited it and then
got off somewhere holding the string
and Avaited for the pigeons to walk
under the box so I could trap em
And the pigeons would come and
theyd Aalk around the box and pick
up things all around it and sometimes
theyd get so cloie that I Avas sure
they Avere going under and then Id
crouch down all keyed up ready to
pull and get cm but somehow they
generally stopped right at the edge or
if one got under and I pulled tho
string the pigeon Avas always sure to
get aAvay before the box came down
I dont know just hoAV it was but
I never caught a pigeon I guess it
will be about the same here now Avith
these boys trying to catch sparrows
but its a lot of fun to set the trap and
try

How England Grows
A great deal of interest is taken in
England in the question of coast pro
tection The ocean assailing the
cliffs gradually tears them away but
this very process furnishes a defense
for the land by building up long beach
es of sand and shingle which arrest
the waves before they can attack the
cliffs An effort is making to prevent
or better regulate the removal of this
material for construction and road
building because in many places its
remoAal has permitted the sea freely
to exert its power of erosion
The Ordinance Survey has ascer
tained that in the last thirty five years
England has lost 6000 acres by sea
erosion and gained 48000 acres
through reclaiming land the existence
of which is plainly due to material
brought down by the rivers From the
