Cargyle, who resides on a farm near Sacramento, Cal., has demonstrated what can be accom- plished through perseverance and patience in the matter of training birds and beasts. In Mrs. Cargyle's case it is birds, for she has succeeded in training two pet cannaries to warble the "Wearing of the Green" and *'Yan- kee Doodle" with the ease that characterizes their natural song. "For two years I have whistled the strains of the two songs'to the birds," 'says Mrs. Cargyle. "The birds have proved their remarkable imitative capabilities and now, whenever I begin to whistle, take up the song themselves."

Pe UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE RAG DOLL 1921, by McClure News paper Syndicate, (By Howard R. Garis.) Uncie Wiggily was sitting in his hollow stump bupgalow one day, | reading the latest happenings in | Woodland from the Cabbage. Leaf Newspaper, when in came Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, the muskrat lady house 'keeper. "1 don't know what she's going to do," sighed Nurse Jane, as she sat | down in a chair, carefully folding her tail under her in a nice how | knot. | "Who is going to do what?" ask- |ed Uncle Wiggily, "Mrs. Twistytail, the {answered Nurse Jane | Squealer, the baby pig, [ting over the measles, and she's so cross and fretful that Mrs. Twisty- tail can't do a thing with her! She {Lait even leave Squeakie to go to | the store. I stayed as 1 could." "It is too bad," agreed Uncle Wig- | gily, taking his tall, silk hat down | trom the clock shelf. "I'll go over and see if I can help: I'l) stay with | Squeakie Squealer while Mrs, Twis- tytail goes out a bit. It will be an adventure for me." | "It will be an. adventure, all right," said Nurse Jane, jiggling her | whiskers. "Perhaps more than you { think, for Squeakie Squealer is so cross and fretful that she won't keep quiet, and you can't do a thing with her." "I can try," said Uncle Wiggily, with a twinkle of his pink nose. So, , |taking his red, white and blue strip- | ed rheumatism crutch, | ped, over the | woods. Copyright, pig lady," "Squeakie is just get- as long fields and through the Uncle Wiggily, | to see you," exclaimed Mrs. Twisty- | tail, the pig lady, as the bunny gen- tleman reached her house. "I won- der if you can do anything for Squeakie Squealer?" "I don't want anybody to do any- | thing for me! " whined the little pig- | ie girl. "I don't feel good!" | "She's just getting over the meas- les," explained the pig lady in a | whisper. "Don't mind what she say "No," agreed Uncle Wiggily. "You just go down to the five and six-cent | store or anywhere else you like, and | I'l take care of Squeakie Squealer | for a while." "You'll like Uncle Wiggily to stay with you, won't you Squeakie " ask- ed her mother. | "I--1 like Unk Wig." | baby pig, good!" "Ho! Ho!" laughed Uncle Wig- gily, for he knew Squeakie was not | quite like herself. "You may.be as [bad as you like, little piggie girl. It will be an adventure for me!" | "Do you suppose you can manage | her?" asked Mrs. Twistytail, as she { put on her bonnet to go out. "Oh, yes," answered the bunny gentleman. "You may go out and do your shopping. I'll take care of Squeakie." But when he was left aloné with the little piggie girl Uncle Wiggily had a lot of trouble. Squeakie threw her playthings all over the floor, she made Uncle Wiggily get her a drink of water and then she waved her paws around until she spilled half of it, and then she threw a spoon at the clock and nearly hit it dn the face. "Why, Squeakie!" sadly said Un- | cle Wiggily. "I don't care! grunted the little piggie girl. Uncle Wiggily began to/ how he might amuse. hé€ wouldn't be so cross amd fretful, when, all of a sudden ,as he looked from the window of the pi house, the bunny saw something that made him jump up. I'm so glad the to be said "but 1-1 isn't goin' away he hop- | the comprehension of the I like to be bad!' "Ha! I know how to keep Squeak- ie quiet!" he said as he hopped out, and Squeakie, looking from the door saw. Uncle Wiggily chasing an old rag dog. This was a dog who went about, buying up old rags, bottles and bones. "Wait a minute, a minute," Rag Dog! Wait called Uncle Wiggily. "Oh, I know what do!" cried Squeakie, "He's going to give me to the Rag Dog because I was so cross and unpleasant! Oh. dear! I don't want the Rag Dog to take me, even if I was bad! Oh, what shall I do? [I'll go hide in the closet so he can't find me." 80 Squeakie hid herself in jam closet and pretty soon Wiggily came hopping back. "Where are you, Squeakie? Where are you?" asked Uncle Wiggily, as he entered the house, not seeing the little piggie girl. "Come here, Squeakie Squealer," he called. "No! No!" cried Squeakie from the closet where she was hidden. "I'm not coming out and be given to he Rag Dog!" "Rag Dog!" laughed Uncle gily. "Bless your little nose, Squeakie! I wasn't give you to the Rag Dog! I just ran after him to get some rags so I ould make you a rag doll. Look here!" Squeakie opened peered out. There was Uncle Wig- gily with a bundle of rags and he was making the cutest rag doll you ever saw, with shoe buttons for ves! Really he was! "Oh, isnt she just to anything!" cried Squeakie. she mine?" "Yes," answered the he gave the rag doll to the gie girl who was getting measles. he's going to the Uncle Wig- going to the door and sweet for "And is bunny, as little pig- over the Squeakie hugged the her arms and said: "I'm never going again, Uncle Wiggity." "I hope not!" laughed the bunny gentleman. Then he had no more trouble with Squeakie Squealer.

He voices the opinion that some day, in some Government, there will arise a financial genius who will discover that the way to economize is to cut down expenses. That solution ap- pears too deep and mysterious for present finance ministers. WAY OF THE REFORMERS Philadelphia Inguirer: The reform- ers' aim seems to be to set a high standard for other people's lives. rubbery | SPREADING GOSPEL OF MUSIC THROUGH THE PRESS, Speaking on one occasion on the question of music publicity in the press a famous educationist said this: "If I attained my ambition, there would not be a publication which ever went to press unless it carried its story of music. The more dis- cussion there is about musie, the more there will be, the more matter printed about music, the more con- certs there will be. Everybody is a potential patron of music, and is worthy of being developed into a music lover. Education is the torch- light which can be used to bring 98 per cent. of the people who think they don't like music into the fold of those who know they do. Educa tion will convert the infidel's art. "I am always aware of the man who says, 'But music 'I don't care for, it's too hard for me to attempt to sit through a recital after a hard day's work. I want some relaxa tion." I am always eager to take that man aside and argue the matter out with him. I am always conscious of the presence of women who are deaf to the possibilities of music in their domestic happiness and I want to tel Ithem about it. Of the children growing up with the wrong kind of music in their ears, of working men. of professional men, of business men, of medical authorities and of civie and other government authorities." Education in affairs of music must go through every channel, through the schools, the clubs, the open | forums, the newspapers and the periodicals.

DECLARES SHE LIVED IN FEAR ALL THE TIME Stomach Malady That Made Her Unable to Even Sweep Was Completely Relieved by Tan- lac, Says Montreal Woman. "I was so weak I could not even sweep the floor but since taking Tanlac I ean do all my housework without the least trouble," said Mme. Camille Archambault, 1398 Erables 8t., Monireal, Quebec. "For four years 1 have suffered s0 much from the indigestion, nervousness, insomnia and constipa- tion I almost become a nervous wreck and lived in fear and misery all the time. Even soup disagreed with me and I had such awful heart- burn I had to have poultices put over me to get relief. "My husband had been reading such good things about Tamlac he advised me to take it and it was a lucky day for me when I did. My appetite is good, my nerves steady. and I have had the most complete relief from my troubles. I feel just fine and I owe it all to Tanlac. "Tanlac is sold by all good Drug- gists.

This summer be careful. 'Save Ontario's Forests Theyre Yours When you build your fire to make tea, fry bacon or add cheer to pipe and story-telling time, use a woodsman's precautions. The real woodsman builds his fire on an old fireplace, if there be one handy. Failing that he scrapes away all litter, moss and fibrous rotted wood down to the mineral soil, or the bare rock, and preferably some place close 'o the water. He knows that if fire gets into ae moss or the upper woody layer of forest soil, or in a half-rotted log or stump, it "holds over," burns away unnoticed underneath, and unless fol- lowed up and carefully put out, is liable to break into a flame later. He knows how hard it is to put such deep-smouldering fire out. So he makes his cooking fire surprisingly small and compact, and chooses a spot that is absolutely safe. It is a mark of his finished woodsmanship how thoroughly he drowns his fire out "with plenty of water when he is through with it. Save the forests. You may want to camp again. DON'T DON'T take chances with fire in Ontario's forests. DON'T throw away cigarette or cigar butts, pipe "heels" or burnt matches until you are dead sure they are out. neglect to drown out your fire with lots of water, build your camp fire against a rotten log or stump -- nor on windy points; nor near moss patches ; nor at the base of a tree. Build it in a former fire. place, or on a flat rock, or on a spot cleared down to the true soil below, or by the edge of the water. T forget that the upper layer of ground in the forest consists of par- tially rotted wood which will burn. Ontario Forestry Branch Parliament Buildings, Toronto
