MILKWEED PLANTS.
“We like to give children a good
time,” said Mother Milkweed, and
Daddy Milkweed said:
“Tes, we do.”
And the Milkweed children said:
“Most certainly, we like to give chil
* dren a good time.”
"The farmer doesn’t like us so
much,” said one of the milkweed plants
named Milly.
“Why not?” asked another milkweed
plant named Mamie.
“Because,” said Milly Milkweed, “we
have so many pods which are filled
with seeds, and these scatter and
make milkweed plants grow up all
over the roadside, in the fields—and
all through the country.
“The farmer wants the space for
wheat and corn and rye—and all sorts
pf things which can be eaten.”
“Oh,” said Mamie, “and that is the
reason why farmers cut down milk
weed plants. I have heard that they
did that very often.”
“That Is the reason." said Milly.
“But no matter, children are very fond
Pf us. They like to make believe
that our little pods, which are full of
seeds, are boats and that the seeds are
passengers traveling In boats.
“And wt have more friends, too,”
added Milly.
“Tell me about the other friends,”
• paid Mamie. “I like to hear of friends.
Friends are so nice for they like one,
don't they?”
“Yes. friends like us,” said Milly.
**Our other friends are the butterflies.
We are very fragrant and have a sweet
perfume which the butterflies love.
They say that they think we have a
most delicious perfume and that they
love to come to visit us.
“They also say they can tell from
pfar, for our perfume carries some lit
tle distance.
“And we reward them for those
kind words,” said Milly.
“I know,” said Mamie. “I love but
terflies and am glad to hear about
them curing for us. I never knew
s Dm? were so fond of us."
JHfawrit.” said Milly.
,MT how *filen they came
• “Ah,” salrf Mamie, “I am beginning
to understand. Friends like us, they
come to visit ns often, and they come
again and again and say kind things
to us and about us. I didn’t just know
what the word friends meant, though
it had such a beautiful sound that I
felt sure they were nice. And I had
an Idea of what they were when I
beard you say that children were onr
friends. If children were friends, I
thought to myself, then friends are
nice, very, very nice.”
“Tes,” said Milly, “we reward the
butterflies for the kind thoughts they
have bout us.”
“I know what our rewards are,” said
Mamie. “We give them feasts! Won
drous, wondrous feasts!”
“We do,” agreed $Iilly; “we certain
ly do.”
Now the milkweed plant Is rather
thick with a hollow center and
through this center the white milk
goes which gives the plant Its food.
. The milk doesn’t care for the air and
so that is why the milk stains our
hands when we pick the plants.
The leaves are large and of a yellow,
gray-green color, while the flowers
which grow In clusters are of a pink
lavender shade.
But the little pods filled with seeds
are the things the children like and
If yon see a milkweed plant just look
at the little pods.
“I must have milk to drink and to
make me strong,” said Milly Milk
weed.
“So must L” said Mamie Milkweed.
“And not - only does it make ns
strong,” said Milly, “but it gives
strength to the butterflies which feast
upon us, for If we are strong and dell
dons it makes them strong and beau
tifnl.
“Ah,” said Mamie. “It’s fine to have
Butterflies and children for friends,
and to have our very own milkman al
ways isith ns. We’re never forgotten
In the early mornings by any possi
ble accident. No, we always have onr
milkman and we have friends."
“We*re lucky, happy milkweed
plants,” said Milly Milkweed.
■ And Mr. Wind whispered to them:
“I think so, too.”

THE HOUSE WRENS.
“1 can’t understand idleness,” said !
Mrs. House Wren.
"Ah no, you can't understand It,” i
chirped her husband proudly, “because \
you are never idle. You are busy all .
the time. The fine Mr. Bee who Is so !
famous for being busy is not any
more industrious than you are.”
“Perhaps,” said Mrs. House Wren. |
“I am net so industrious. lam really 1
just always fussing and fuming and ;
constantly moving.”
“That is so,” said Mr. House Wren, j
“But you are busy, too. And you are
never idle. Think of the things you I
have done in life.” j
“What things?” asked Mrs. House ,
Wren.
"Ah, don’t you know what a beautl- j
ful home you made —a home of dried
grass and twigs? It is the same borne ;
we are in now. And a whole summer .
has gone by. Ah, that shows how well
you work. Why, I’ve heard that some j
creatures were forever moving from
place to place, from home to home, i
It’s all right to be In one place in |
the summer and another in the winter,
but some folks and some creatures i
aren’t even satisfied for one season." '
“Is It possible?” Inquired Mrs.
House Wren.
“Indeed It Is possible,” said Mr.
House Wren. “There are many crea
tures such as I have described. And
they grumble instead of singing as we
do. Ah, to sing, to chirp and to trill,
these are the things which make joy.
They make us happy and they make
others happy, for to be happy one
self Is very apt to make creatures |
around one happy.”
‘Tve known of some creatures who
acted So unhappily and grumbled so
much that they made all those around
them the same way.”
“Isn’t that dreadful?” said Mrs.
House Wren, cocking her head In sur
prise.
“But you are always pleasant and
you are always busy, and you do things
so well,” continued Mr. House Wren.
“Perhaps one of the reasons you are
so happy Is because you are busy.”
“Perhaps that Is one of the reasons,”
said Mrs. House wren, “because I am
certainly very xuucn interested In life
and song and nests and blrdlings, but
I think I am happy mostly because I
have such a nice loving mate.”
Mr. House Wren cocked his head
one way and then the other. Then he
burst Into a most glorious song. He
“Now I Will Bing Those Words."
sang It to Mrs. House Wren and In
the song he told her how happy he was,
how glorious was life, how good peo
ple had been to them, giving them
drinks of water In the hot, dry weath
er, and how much he loved her and
the whole bright sunny world.
When he had finished Mrs. House
Wren opened her little beak and tbqn
closed It again.
“Were you going to say something?”
he asked.
“I couldn’t say it at first. Your song
was so beautiful that I hadn’t any
words to tell you about Its loveliness.”
“There Is no reason why I shouldn’t
sing my best for you. Ah, Mrs. House
Wren, you are a very dear little crea
ture.
“And well do I remember the little
eggs—six of them there were—speckled
with brown,” said Mr. House Wren,
“and what beautiful little blrdlings
they were.”
“Yea,” said Mrs. House Wrgn, “and !
now they are so grown-up they are
looking after themselves and having
their own pleasures.”
“Well,” said Mr. House Wren, “of all
families of birds I don’t believe there
Is any other family any happier than
we are. Sometimes we chatter and
scold each other In a friendly fashion,
but we’re really the gay, busy, happy
brown house wrens.”
“Yes,” said Mrs. House Wren, “and
I feel so pleased at what you say that
I believe I will make up a special
song about It.”
So Mrs. House Wren took a small
twig and a large leaf and she wrote In
bird language these words:
“We’ra the happy House W.’e.'s, hurrah,
hurrah,
“We’re always so busy, we’re always so
gay.
“We work or we sing all through the
long day,
“And this Is all I have now to say.”
“That’s fine,” said Mr. House Wren.
‘ Now I will sing those words.” And
be did so, as he stuck out bis little
chest and held the leaf with the words
on It before him.

Other Companies to Raise Prices
Get S6SB,CCD Yearly From 390
Acres.
Poltsville, Jan. 25. —'I'. Ellsworth
Davies, Scranton mining engineer,
threw a bomb at the SehuylUill county
“coal barons” when be estimated their
'mine lields, taxed at only $21,000,000
were worth $.1,000,000,000.
Appearing before a sub-committee
of the United States senate commit
tee on manufactures, which is inves
tigating causes for the high prices of
anthracite Mr. Davies said a fair val
uation for assessment of the Schuylkill
fields would be *2 0't0.000.000 to $2,-
j 2’ O 000 000. He figured it would take
\ 000 years for the taxes to equal the
j value of tlie deposits.
Mr. Davies, who lias been influen
tial in increasing the assessment vat
ration of coal lands in Luzerne and
Lackawanna counties for taxation,
estimated there were
i t;ons of anmmed coal in the Schuylkill
j region. Its area is 200 square miles,
j t’ .bst fluently another Scranton en-
I gineer. W. F. Sekel, estimated the de
posits at 44.200.000,000 tons.
While Mr. Householder groans as
he pays coal hills, he may be assured
the process will he indefinitely repeat
ed. According to Mr. Davies’ estimate,
the Schuylkill field will not he ex
hausted at tlie prevailing rate of mln
j ing for 900 years.
Tlie investigation was conducted by
I Senator Reed. Democrat, Missouri;
I Senator Vardanian. Democrat, Missis
i jsippi, and Senator Jones, Democrat,
j New Mexico. One of its high points
j was testimony that the Girard Estate
I derives ?6"8.000 in royalties yearly
| from 390 acres of coal land in the
I Locust Mountain basin, near Wilkes-
Barre.
The estate’s royalties were said to
lie the highest paid in the anthracite
region. They also were said to be
i used as a basis in arriving at royalties
I by other land owners. In that manner
i they were alleged to he a potent in
| flnence in boosting coal prices,
i Undoubtedly the “star witness” of
| the day was Mr. Davies. He was call
i ed on behalf of citizens who have
j been agitating for years to have the
: coal deposits assessed at a fair valu
j ation.
Mr. Davies was employed to make
j estimates of unmined coal deposits
| throughout the state for various eoun
i ties. Tn contrasting Schuylkill coun
i ty’s low assessment with other coun
ties, he said Lackawanna county “fair
ly reveled in money.”
Senator Vardnman observed there
I never should he too much- money In
I a public treasury.
| He also said before the war the
j railroad companies which also otter
ated colleries, reaped a profit of.abjmt
$2.50 a ton on anthracite. The prom
j undoubtedly has increased since the
! war.” he added.
The big royalties received by the
Girard Estate were revealed by Alan
G. Dodson, Bethlehem. He is presi
dent of a set of colleries known a# the
Dodson group, and is a member of
tlie production committee of the fuel
administration. On his testimony the
assertion was made that the estate’s
royalties were the largest of the an
thracite region.
Mr. Dodson estimated the royalty
constituted about 22 per cent of the
selling price.
“Every time wages are Increased
or any other factor aids in boosting
the price of coal, the Girard Estate
collects on it.” suggested Senator
Jones.
The witness nodded assent. He said
he paid royalties ranging from SLOS
to $1.30 a ton. These were the high
est royalties collected by the Girard
Estate in the hard coal fields.
Since 1914, Mr. Dodson said, he had
paid the Girard Estate $1,872,000 in
rowaltles on coal from the 300 acres.
The output of tlie Locust Mountain
mine last year, he added, was 633,338
tons. Royalties paid since 1914 were:
1917, $517,000, averaging 83 cents a
ton; 1916, $348,000, averaging 71 cents
n top: 1914, $236,000, averaging 72
cents a ton, and 1914, $112,000, aver
aging 72 cents a ton. Only about a
fifth of the coal had been taken from
the mines, he estimated.
Senator Red estimated the Girard
estate’s 390 acres would bring about
$19,000,000 more before the supply
of coal is exhausted.

PUT “BAD LUCK” IN DISCARD
When the Game of Life Is Analyzed,
There Is No Such Thing to
Be Found.
There 1* no such thing as “bad
luck." The belief In It is a gross su
perstition. It Is claimed that there Is
a lot of luck In poker. My observa
tion has been that the man who wins
at poker consistently Is merely the
best player of poker. There are some
who have a “run of luck.” But If
the “run” lasts three minutes the op
posite “run” generally lasts equally
long. If the good luck holds up fo, a
year, the bad luck appears during the
next year. Any habitual card-player,
unless he Is a very poor player or
an unusually good one, will tell you
that Ids winnings and losses just
about counterbalance.
In poker, as In life, the final deter
mining factor Is skill, knowledge of
the game, patience, taking advantage
of opportunities. If you a pre
