I went up/to kill it with a club and killed it. T took it home and sKinmed it and put it on a stretcher. The next night I caught three muskrats. I was sorry at first to see the little animals in the water. Then I felt proud that I had three muskrats. 1 kept on trapping until T had six= teen hides. Then shipped them to-a company and got $5.40 for all of the hides. They took. off 10 cents for ex- press. For $5.30 1 bought me a suit. | T bought me a hat for $1 and a shirt | for 80 cents. | All of my money was gone and I needed a pair of ghoes. So 1 asked | my neighbor if the trapping 'season | was over. “He said that it was not | over yet, and T began trapping asain. When I had nine hides I shipped again and got $2.70. They took off - fiv cents for express; so 1 had $2.65. bought me a pair of shoes for $2.50 and had 45 cents left. I bought me a pair of stockings for 15 cents. Now 1 had all T needed except a necktie. My mother gave me one for my birthday. 1 was all dressed up for Sunday and went to Sunday school—A 13-year-old Vebraska Boy California Birds, When we were in California we had rooms that faced a large palm tree, and every day we would put out food | and water for the little birds: Onme| day about 9 a. m. we heard a terrible | noise out on the window sereen. I ran to the lady acress the hall ana asked her what it was. When she came into the rocm she saw a mock- ing bird and a bird with a fiery red breast, calied a red-breasted warbler, flapping _their wings against the screen. We had neglected to feed them that day, and they wanted food | for their babies which they had sit- ting on the porch rail. They were not frightened away when I put their food | out for them. The mother bird would | tace a bit of food in her beak and hop_over to the babies, and one of the bahies would open its big mouth, and mother bird jammed the food down its little throat. Then when they had enough they would fly away to the palm tree and sing for us.—A Lit- tle Tllinois Girl. On An Alligator Farm. In the summer of 1908 while on a trip west. with my father, we stopped at an_alligator farm in Los Angeles, Cal. It was the first time in my short life of 11 years that I had seen an | alligator. At _first T thought they were dead, as they lay so still, but when vou walked near them they would hiss at You and waddle off on their four short legs. ¥rom there we went to the hatchery, and here we saw a large number ot | tiny alligators only a few minutes old. eating small frogs and soaked bread as if they were starved. The incuba- tors are like chicken incubators and | the alligators are hatched in the sam.s manner. 1 think on that day we saw { alligators from tiny babies up to full- grown papas and mammas.
