HICOREE the Goldfinch, whom many people call the Wild Canaj Ithough he isn't a Canary at all, is very fond of sunflower seeds. Having a roaming dispositions, he knows where all the sunflowers grow for a long dis- tance around. He knew all about that long row at the end of Farmer Brown's cornfield. In fact, he liked to think that those sunflowers had been planted specially for him. Now Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse had been feasting on those seeds “STAY AWAY FROM MY OWN SEEDS! HOW DO YOU GET THAT | WAY?” SHRIEKED CHICOREE. chiefly after dark, though once in a while they climbed up for some in broad daylight. They had never happened to be there when Chicoree had visited the sunflowers, so he had not seen them nor had they seen him. But Chicoree knew that some one was taking seeds, for he found the empty cells where seeds had been, and he discovered on the backs of some of the big flower heads little piles of seed husks. “Some one has been stealing my | seeds!” exclaimed Chicoree the first | time he found those empty cells and one of those little piles of husks, and worked himself into a great rage. ‘Thereafter he visited the sunflowers several times a day hoping to discover | who was those seeds. But he saw no one and couldn’t guess who it might be. Now Deanny and Nanny Meadow Mouse had come to regard th'se <un- flowers as their special property. They hadn't mi the seeds Chicoree had taken, because he had picked them out here and there and mostly from flower heads at the far end of the row which Danny and Nanny hadn't even vis-| ited. Then one morning they happened | to look up to see Chicoree busily pulling out and eating seeds from one of the | flower heads just above them. Instantly | they flew into a rage and started up that plant, Nanny leading and Danny right at her heels. Chicoree saw them coming and instantly guessed that these | were the ones who had been taking | seeds, and he also flew into a rage. “Thief! Thief!” squeaked Nanny as sh. peered over the edge of the flower head to which Chicoree was clinging as he picked out and ate seeds. “Get away from my seeds!” yourself!” cried Chicoree. “They are my seeds and you are the ones who have been stealing them!™ “No such thingl” chattered Danny from a neighboring flower head, there | not belng room for him where Nanny | was. *“ are our seeds.

How do you get that way?” shrieked Chic- oree, more and more angry. He suddenly darted at Nanny and it was by sheer good luck that she man- nndwdodfle.

They snapped at him and squeaked with anger which amounted to_fury, and called Chicoree thief and robber and all the unpleasant things they could think of. Chicoree replied in kind. Although he was one to their two, he was having rather the best of it, for of course he was wholly at home in the air while and Nanny were not at all at home so far above the ground. It was a most unpleasant quarrel and such & foolish one. There were more of those sunflower seeds than Chicoree and all his family and Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse and all their family could eat in a year. Further- more, those seeds didn't belong to any of them. They belonged to Farmer Brawn. They were fighting over some- thing they didn't own and to which none of them had any real right. Could anything be mére foolish? But quarrels are foolish anyway and more is always lost than ever gained. In some States the will of an unmar- riéd woman is deemed revoked by her subsequent marriage. Everyday Psycholqky BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Fifteen years ago Dr. Sigmund Freud of Vienna, Austria, was a sort of “sensation.” Such “sensations” come along about four times a century. Some of them are more sensational than others, of course. It may come as a sort of surprise to some, to learn that Preud is being taken seriously by those who are cast- ing about for a reu.mn{‘ of psychology. ‘This recasting is another thing that seems to take place about four times a century. In the “shake-up” something has happened to the “sensationz]” fea- tures of the Freudian doctrine. | For one thing the idea of ‘“repressed desires” is not so “sensational” as it once was. At least a “repression” need not be regarded as something to worry | about. As & matter of fact you wouldn’t | know you had a “desire” unless it met | wi some “resistance” somewhere, | some time. | From latest reports, Preud still holds | that “the dream is the royal road to the unconscious.” If the sage of Vien- | na lives long enough, he may revise | that theory, stimulating as it has been | and still is. Those who study Freud | carefully are beginning to say that the | Qreat Unconscious is not so uncon-| scious as Freud first contended. But let the recasters settle that! | (Copyright, 1031.)

All through the long Winter | | | | months the guee: which have sought shelter in some crevice or under the | bark of a tree, await the warm sun- | shine. | One bright day in early Spring the young queen awakens and knows she must hurry and cstablish her family. | A dead tree or u fence rail will furnish | her with building material. She chews the wood she scrapes from the surface, | mixing it with a_ saliva manufactured in_her mouth. With this well chewed pellet, she flies tc a tree, and on a lower branch places the foundation to her children’s home. The strong paper- pulp mixture will be cemented to the wood, and on this she builds several shallow cells facing downward. Into the cells she cements a tiny banana- shaped egg. The roof over the cells is now be- gun and, by the time her first children are calling for food, their rooms are well protected from the weather. ‘The mother flies here and there, seeking a juicy caterpillar, a grass- hopper or a fly. Her children demand meat. She remcves all the indigestible parts of an insect and gives her babies the soft, tender bits. They grow very fast, and she adds to the rooms, making them deeper. Finally the fat young- sters fit their rvom so snugly that they weave a curtamn before their door. They are still harging head down. But now their heads are so large they can- not fall out of the narrow cell. ‘The mother has a respite from mare | keting, and she builds more rooms for her second group of children. By the time they hatch and are calling loudly for food the first children are r cut their way out of their tight quar- ters. They are il daughters and willing workers. The mother has assistants who take over the building and mar- keting. From nocw on she devotes her- self to the filling of cradles. The old | rooms are cleaned out and made ready | for the tiny egg. | In this city theie are often 4,000 bees. to|cells a little smaller for the drones. FEATURES. !
