As the summer lengthened, the Hermit Thrush had little reason to complain of Bobby Bobolink's merry singing. A strange change had slowly come over Bobby. He lang less and less. And when he did now and then give voice to a long it never was so sprightly and '.are-free as of old. The Hermit declared that now ind then he could even hear a mournful note in Bobby's songs. And he said he had hopes t hat in time Bobby Robolink would be able to sing as doleful a ditty as anybody -.Ovild want to listen to. There was something else, too, lbotif Bobby Bobolink that pleased the Hermit. Bobby no longer wore the brilliant clothes to which the Hermit had once objected. Instead !ie had donned a suit of dull, yellowish-brown, the same color as the flress that Mrs. Bobolink wore. The Hermit said that it wasn't half bad, specially since Bobby wore a spot led waistcoat with it, not unlike the Permit's own. Nobody knew exactly what it was that had changed Bobby Bobolink. Some said that it was family cares for the Bobolinks bad reared five children during the summer. And And when theg looked for them, theg couMnt find them anywhere , there were others who claimed that Bobby Bobolink had sung too much. They said it wa a well known fact that there could be too much of a good thing. , Old Mr. Crow haw-hawed loudly whenever he heard such talk. He declarca that Kobbv Bobolink waSN getting ready to go South, where the rice was ripening, and. that he was wearing his Rice Bird clothes. "He hopes," said Mr. Crow, "that the planters won't know him, because hc'$ dressed differently from the way he was when he visited them last spring. . . . But he can't fool the planters," Mr. Crow croaked. "They can tell a rice-thief, no mat ter what he wears." Perhaps there was some truth in wJiat Mr. Crow said. Anyhow, it was only & few days before Mrs. Bobolink noticed that her husband's appetite was not what it had been. He. had lost his taste for insects, 'and lived upon seeds of one kind or another, with milky oats now and then, which he gathered in Farmer Green's fields. At last Bobby said to his wife one day, ''How good a little rice would taste!" "There's plenty of wild rice grow ing around here," she replied. "I how it." tie said with a sigh. "I've eaten a good deal of that. ' But it hasn't the flavor of the kind they raise down South." It was only a short time after that that the neighbors missed the mel low chinks of the Bobolink family, calling to one another across the swamp. And when they looked for them, they couldn't find them any where. It was only the end of August. And some of the swamp dwellers didn't know what to think. 'But old Mr. Crow laughed at them again... ."Jt's fust as I told you!" he said. "The Bobolinks have gone South." 4: , "v.' THE END. -i ., oiyrlaht. . Orosset & Punlap. a Do We Fear Snakes? The obvious answer is that we iknow the snake will hurt us, or that we fear that it may but children who have never seen or heard of a snake, will shrink back at the sight of one, and the average child of three or tour years will draw away from a worm or a beetle in much the same way, although it has never been told that these crawling things may be dangerous. The reascm for this lies in one of the most interesting studies connect ed with mankind the study of the instincts "which, in spite of the pas sage of centuries, are still alive and operating in the brain. Just as a tiny kitten will arch its back and strike out with its claws at the first dog- it sees, and the .majority of dogs will ' turn rottnd and round before goinsr to sjeep even on the softest pillow an instinctive action which dates back to the time when their ancestors roamed the forests and had ,to make their own beds in the tall grass so also is there an instinctive fear of snakes and of insects in the human mind. Our forefathers knew 'the menace of these crawling things. They fought the snake and the scorpion and the other deadly mem bers of their tribe, and their centuries of, warfare upon this type of life has become so firmly implanted in the ' human brain, that babies are born with it almost as strongly as they are born with their instinct to seek their food through sucking, a heri tage of countless centuries which even generations of city life have been powerless to eradicate.

DOWN- Y7 ail More Truth -By JAMES J. LEST WE A Balllad for Husbands. Loose as a leaf in a breeze was Napoleon A trait that one seldom observes among Frogs Ready trn part with his utmost simoleon In buying his empress the classiest togs. He never let Josephine's harness bills worry 'er He bought her a half a dozen dresses a day: Plenty of credit she had with the furrier Limitless ticks on the Rue de la Paix. ' Beautiful bonnets she kept by the closet full, Chest after chest full of intimate wear, Jewels and rings by the safety deposit full, But do not forget that he gave her the air. Ball gowns of satin, with silvery filaments, Tea gowns of sequins ingeniously wrought, . Priceless lawn tennis and sporting habiliments These were a few of the things that she bought. All of the bills were defrayed by the emperor And, though he sometimes was shy at the banks, He never complained, or got into a temper or Asked if she thought he was made out of francs. Costliest stockings and shoes he provided her, And though they wore out at a ruinous rate Never he scolded or. hectored or chided her. But do not forget that he gave her the gate. Nowadays ladies reflect rather wistfully That they could have brilliant and gorgeous array, If only their husbands did not so tightfistfully Cling to the cash that they've salted' away. They think of Napoleon's large liberality,, And wish that their men-folks would not throw a fit Or lecture on thrift and the joys, of frugality Whenever requested to loosen a bit. But though Mr. Bonoparte, quite undeniably, Was loose to a fault in his gifts' to his spouse, History tells us, and very reliably ,'f; That nevertheless he did give, he the 'raus!

Today the violet brings good luck to those who wear it, since it is the talismanic stone and the natal gem as well. It is said to bring success to. any undertaking and make its wearer overcome all obstacles when worn as a talisman. Those who wear on the left arm a- diamond set in gold will enjoy deep and lasting love, according to an ancient superstition. Set in this way, it is also said to drive unhappy fancies and forebodings of evil. According to the ancients, brown brings peace and serenity to those who wear it on this day. Today's flower is the single violet which brings contentment to those who wear it. (CopyrightrlMlrTCbejJer Syndicate, lac.) f wen r WAS APARTMENT ONLY TWO TO . ?AVL INTO TWAT tAW CWAIfc.
