You don't need to do any work about it. You may Just Hsten, if yon want to.” “History like that.will'be pleasant,” kaid one of the carrier pigeons, “al- though I really like history better than ,any other lesson anyway. It's rather fun to hear what others have done. “Do go on, Uncle Charlie, and tell us the history.” ° P So Uncle Charlie Carrier Pigeon be- gan: “We have been carrying messages | for hundreds and hundreds of years.” “Gracious,” said¢ one of the carrier pigeons, “I didn’'t know I was that old.” i, “Neither did L,” said another. | . #And neither did 1" said a third. i “Ah, I do not mean that we, our- selves, - have been carrying messages for that length of time,” said Uncle Charlie. . “AlL,” said the first carrier pigeon, who had' spoken before, “I didn’t imagine I could be that bld.” v “The same was true with me,” said the ‘second. “I couldn't belleve that I had been carrying messages for that length of time either,” said tha third. “But our family have been doing -this work for years and years and Yyears,” said Uncle Charlie. “The art of carrying messages has been handed down from grandfathers and grandmothers to fathers and mothers and so on. “One of our relations carried forty- thousand messages in one trip. And[ each message was about twenty, words | -in length. @ ' _“Some of these m&ages were sent by means of tiny photographs, so tiny || that they had to be read with the aid of a miscroscope or glass to make them look full-sized and so they could be seen easily, | : i’ “And our relative carried these little photographed messages. It was very ‘wonderful. “In that way we can carry more, too, ‘é’itlmut being so tired. “Al, carrier pigeons have always done a great work and it is a rightful pride we have to rejoice over the fine work which our relatives. have | done. 9 “But it is up to us to continue the good work, and I believe we always will. “We always will for 'we always have, for hundreds and hundreds of years. Carrier pigeons have never dis graced the name of carrier pigeons and they have al- ways gone on with the work which the others have left for them to do. “It is the motto ‘of the carrier pigeons—keep up ‘the good work. \And so while we haven’t been car- rying messages for hundreds- and hundreds of years we are keeping up 'this task so Carrying Messages.| that it can al | ways be said thut carrier pigeons have carried messages right down through | the ages, and that they aren’t’ going| to stop now.” “True, true,” said the other carrier ‘pigeons. “We will always continue our work and will be glad we can do it.” . “Fine spirit,” said Uncle Charlie | Carrier Pigeon, “but with such a his- tory back of us, we cannot help but CAPYNOHT Y wisTN i “Likie to Hear.” PRI have.this spirit!” 5 | Was His Son, A’ man remarks, looking at a por- trait, “Uncles and “brothers have I none, butthat man’s father is my | father’s -son.” ‘What - relation is the original of the portrait to the speaker? | ~—His son. | | Goes With a Coach.
