, Tin? Tale of a Pino Cone
Near the shore of a big river
stood a tall pine tree. Its branches
reached out over the water and
often a little pine cone left its
place In the tree top to flout down
the river in the pleasant sunshine.
Now a little pine cone that ha'd
lived In the treo for a long time
finally got restless and begged per
mission to go.
The kind old pine tree let him.
although she liked to have him
safe In her on arms. Down he
dropped and as 4ie. touched the.
water he sang a merry goodbye
to the others.
On, on the river flowed and on.
""rtwoort Rnrt our little plno none
drifted .ashore. A littlo girl with
lovely yellow curs and a bright
green bathing suit found him.
After playing he was the lone pine
tree on a barren mountain of sand
she left him sitting on a log seat
where visitors to that pleasant
spot Hiit and rested as thoy
watched the pretty, gently flowing
water.
The cono waited alone for but
a few minutes because people
often camo there to swim. Hut
this couple that came .up slowly
were, lovers instead of swimmers,
and they camo to alt and talk

and tried to look surprised, while
she was really considering whether
to accept on tho pot or murmur,
"Rut, Rudolph, this is so sudden,"
and hesitate for a moment or two.
The poor pine cone besido them

from bursting out laughing. Hut

through the usual process of en

although dreading to. have to quit
squeezing nis may love s nanu
long enougn to reacn lor the little
pine cone, he did and .was nearly
repaid, for the sacrifice when she
exclaimed happily, "Just tho vry

So you see, when the engaged
couple left tho spot our little plno
cone left too. , :
From there they traveled many
miles In. -a little ' "roadster, for the
enga'ged couple decided to be
married In a town far away.
Then he was put in a bog where
all was dark and warm.
i One day he was taken out and
put upon the mautleplece of a
lovely cottage. From his placo ho
observed the frequent home com

as she read and sewed besido the
fireplace. -
' Just how long he remained hero
he didn't know, but one warm
spring day ho was once more put
in a bag and when again he saw
light it was in a richly furnished
room and the same lady and man
that had found him on the log
beside tho river were smiling
quietly together as the lady or Mrs.
Dale, as wo will call her, touched
the cono tenderly and placed him
on the bureau.
Instead of the little cottage liv
ing room the little cone regarded
a big well lighted bedroom.
Servants often . entered the room
find he didn't seo nearly so much
of his lovely mistress as he used to.
A housekeeper camo in dally
and straightened up the room and
made the bed.
One day there came a new
housekeeper, who thoughtlessly
tossed our hero out of a window.
A little street urchin found him
and as a gift presented him to me.

I 'stiatty the robins hatch three

I am thinking, for example, of
Mrs. Edna Teal I, energetic head of
the woman's department of that'

excellent. . .
AlmoKt the first time I saw her!
so was addressing a gathering ofi
women Interested In fashions and;,

afternoon was centering around t he
extraordinary beauty and variety of:

Then, apparently changing the

"Yes. I did It yesterday."
"Why did . you tie them , up?
Why didn't you whip them, and
make them stay up that way?"
"Silly." said the young mother,
"you have to tie them up to some
thing, so that they can take .hold
and have some support."
"Littlo children are no more
capable of doing as they aro told

the friend. "Try tho plan I .have
