But the flower bat bedecks Itself with
flowers common and uncommon. From
the yellow field daisy to the most un

prototypes, everything In flowers is
fashionable.

Children, Color Up
(Copyright, 1914, by the McCIure News
paper syndicate.)
Long time ago, when the spry little
chipmunk darted across the camp
ground In the yellow sunlight of a
summer morning, the old men would
call to the little Indian boys not to
shoot their arrows at it
"Hoi he Is our friend," an old man
would say, and when the boys asked
why the chipmunk was their friend.
the old man would tell this story:
It was In the days when man began
to spread out over the earth and make
himself the ruler of all the birds and
animals snd Insects. Whenever man
Wanted a bird or an animal to eat or
a worm to catch a fish, he Just went
and took It without asking. .
So the birds, the Insects and the
small animals called a council to see
what they could do to stop man from
taking their lives. It was a carrier
pigeon that took word to all that the
council was to be held, and when she
got back from her long travels, the
carrier pigeon settled down In a patch
of wild oats and began to eat She
was so hungry that all she would say
to those who asked ber If all of man's
enemies were coming was:
Tou will have to get extra seats,
and put the thousand-legged centipede
at the door to count them as they go
Into the council house!"
And sure enough when the grub-
worm, who was chief of the council.
took his seat at the east end of the
council bouse and looked over all who
had come, be rubbed his bands In good
bumor at the sight of so many of man's
enemies.
"Now, It Is time for you to speak
and tell what you think about man,"
said the grubworm. And first the frog
got up and spoke.
Look at me, brothers," he said (and
he spoke in a low, sad voice), "I am
ugly and crippled, and all over my
back you can see sores. I can no
longer run fast, but have to hop-hop
along; I am no longer beautiful, and

A Commandment
A teacher In a big elementary school
bad given lessons to an Infants' class
on the ten commandments. In order
to test their memories ah asked:
"Can any little child give m a com

A hand was raised Immediately.
"Welir said th teacher.

my throat is tw fated so that my song
is no longer sweet and clear. Man
has kicked me about so much that I
am as you see me. I think that It Is
time to remove man from the earth."
Then ,the black-legged snipe spoke
and told everyone why he wanted man
killed.
"I suffer worse than the frog," said
the snipe. "Man seizes me and runs a
sharp stick through me and holds me
over the fire until my very legs are
burned black and crisp. Tou all know
bow bard It is for me to walk, bow I
have to go teetering along even on the
smoothest sand. Well, If man had
burned your legs and feet as he has
burned mine, you would know why I
vote to have man removed from this
earth.
So, one after another spoke and said
that ' they thought man ought to be
killed, and after each one spoke the
grubworm cried out:
"That was a good talk, brother 1"
Finally, the little chipmunk got up
and said that he would like to ssy a
few words about man; and the grub
worm told him to go ahead.
"I am the friend of man," said the
chipmunk first, and at that the ani
mals and birds and Insects cried out
"We won't, have him here put the
chipmunk outl
"Man likes me," said the chipmunk,
"because I am yellow like the sunlight
and go flashing across the camp like
a bappy boy's arrow. I do not want to
be'
But the chipmunk did not finish the
sentence, for the animals and birds
and insects all rushed at him to drivo
him out of the council. The first one
to reach him was the hawk, and as
the bawk swooped toward blm, the
chipmunk beaded for the door.
But the hawk's, sharp claws raked
the back of the chipmunk as he ran
and made stripes along his wholo
length and those stripes are there to
this day to show what the chipmunk
suffered for speaking up for man,
