The Canary Bird’s Troubles

"I am perfectly convinced," said the girl who likes to talk, "that It is far tally wrong to mix in the domestic affairs of others! No good ever comes of it! Take Dick, for Instance” "Dick who?” asked the girl who likes to talk. "I mean my canary. You needn’t sniff, for it Is a touching tale.

“Up to last Spring.. Dick was the sauciest, r smartest, most intelligent and happiest canary In captivity. Only he was wasn’t in captivity much of the time, because he roamed around upstairs whenever I was there, tagging me about like an aerial puppy dog and singing his head off. He’d cuddle up on my shoulder and take naps and converse with me. “Idiot that I was, I thought he was lonesome. So I bought him a wife and a family cage—and he beat his wife and sulked in the corners of the cage and glared at me and turned his back contemptuously on the one egg that hatched and acted so hateful generally that I gave his wife away and put the hatched egg into a separate cage. It took me a long time to learn to ttfink of that hatched egg as a bird, even after It got a beautiful tall and a full set of wings and was as big as its parents. “Dick never did get used to it. The mere sight of Winkum to this day is enough to throw him into a rage. He will fly at Winkum with open beak and bristling feathers and threaten him with several kinds of instant death. I never saw a more appalling example of a degenerate parent. “There is no use in trying moral suasion. Dick simply cannot stand Winkum. I’ve heard of cases like It among humans where the son resembled the hated slstet or aunt of the wife, but Dick couldn’t possibly know what the sister or aunt of his wife looked like, so he hasn’t that excuse. He just detests Winkum on general principles as having something to do with the break In the even tenor of his life, because Dick has never been the same bird since. “His affection for me has cooled, just as your affection would if I married you off to some one you disliked. He ruffles his feathers all over when I come near, and as for gladly flying to my finger, he prefers to jab his sharp beak into my face and. draw blood or else yank out a hair. Yes, he does! In the mirror I saw him, perched on my head, deliberately hunt around for a good, healthy hair with a fine deep root that would particularly hurt and then brace his feet and jerk it out! He giggled when I shrieked and it was a malicious giggle at that “And he has struck. He won’t sing He sits on the top perch while I fix his cage for the day and watches intently every move of my hands to see that I don’t forget any of my pet eats. He counts them, I know, just fike a disgruntled person who Is bound to aee that he gets everything out of you he can. And he just looks coldly at me and stuffs himself and', won’t even chirp. “His sulking in corners has brought on illness, too, so the latest is that I’m trained nurse to a canary. I went to a bird store and asked what it meant when one’s canary sat on one foot all the time and glared and snapped at one as though it had hydrophobia. The man safid he had rheumatism and I must apply hot witch hazel four times a day! “If -Dick had an elephant-' I should have approached the task with more ease of mind. I was glad he wasn’t a fly or a spider. As it was, the first tlnae'J tried he curled his feet up into his feathers and made a face at me and got his chest all soaked and caught more cold. Even now, when I’ve learned how to make him stapd in a little dish of the hot application, I’m nervous about it. “I told you he was intelligent—well, he kind of sits down on the edge of the dish in a resigned way, my hand keeping him there, and regards his poor crippled feet meditatively.

“Sometimes when I consider the grumpy, sulky, crippled' old man that Dick has become and remember his gay and lively youth of two short years ago, I could buret into tears. My chief fear Is that he will become bedridden and have to have some one sit up with him nights and hold his claw!” “Why not get him a hot water bag?” suggested the patient listener. “I’m thinking of trying violet rays and electric baths for him,” said the girl who likes to talk. 'Tve got to stick it out to the bitter end because it’s all my fault In the first place for mixing up in his affaire and ruining his disposition.”

Home Helps.

Suet and lard are best kept in tin vessels. Salt pork, however, should be kept in glazed earthenware. A tablespoonful of salt, sprinkled over the coals, will brighten the range fire quickly. If kerosene is rubbed into leather hardened by LWater, it will soften it well. 1 Pie crust is best kept cold in the making; to this end, an excellent substitute for a rolling pin is a bottle filled with ice water. 4 ■ Entries are already being made tor Ch* fourth annual international 500e automobile race which is to be at the Indianapolis speedway |Br M 1M&
