Aunt Este's Stories For Children My dear little ones: There is one of my little ones by the name of Howard who has asked me to write a story of a Humming Bird. 1 wish I had you all together and could tell you some ot the wonderful facts about the HUMMING BIRD —for I think it one of the most won derful of birds—but Aunt Este has only time to tell you one little story about each little bird —so listen to the story of What Ituliy Tupnz I.earned About 111* Knmlly Once upon a time there was a dear littlo bird family by the name of Humming Bird. That was their last name, although if you had looked in the bird directory you surely must have had a first name —for the bird directory was as full of Humming Birds as our directory Is full of Smiths or Browns. But this family of which I want to tell you was the family of Ruby Topaz Humming Bird. That was Daddy Humming Bird's name, and his littlo wife's name was Plainer Dress Humming Bird, two babies' names were Ruby Topaz Junior, and his little sister, Ruby Throat. I don't think Topaz, Jr., and Ruby Throat Sister were men tioned in the directory of birds—you sue they were very young, and so very tiny they could scarcely be seen—for it was only a few days that they had been little birds at all, as they had just burst from the whitest little eggs you ever saw: and Daddy and Mamma Humming Bird had not get gotten over the joy of it all. "Did you ever see such adorable babies?" asked Mamma Hum ming Bird. "Well," answered Daddy, "I won't Bay yet that they are ador able —they are too blind and naked. Wait until they get on their clothes and open their eyes." But in a few days Daddy Humming Bird was as proud as Mamma —for the little eyes opened and the beautiful clothes began to grow—(wouldn't it be fun to grow clothes?) And of all clothes, the clothes of the Humming Bird are most gorgeous. Talk about changeable silk! Why when one looked at Daddy Humming Bird from the front his vest seemed a most georgeous orange; from the one side it seemed emerald green; from the other side, velvety black. So Daddy Humming Bird watched his children grow clothes with great pleasure—but you must know. dear little ones, that the birds are Just the opposite from people—for the boys and men wear all the fancy clothes—while the girls and mammas wear all the plain ones—so I guess my little girl friends would not fancy very much changing to birds—and I don't believe my boy friends would either. Well, Topaz, Jr., and his sister Ruby Threat grew and grew ilntil they were as large as their mother and daddy, pretty nearly—which was not very large for their Daddy and Mother were very little folk, ar all Humming Birdß are. But <uch a difference as twere was between Topaz. Jr.. and Ruby Throat: Ruby Throat was content to stay at home with mamma and HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH Reception in Honor of Return of the Rev.

Snyder's residence. learn to weave nests, ami in aRe pretly bird embroidery from fine grass and spider wchs nnd feather and liair—but Topaa. .lr.— well, he just wanted to fly away with his Daddy every morning. "See here, Topaz," said Daddy Humming Bird, "I would be only too glad to take yon with me—and a« soon as you are a little oliler you shall most eertalniy go—but you are not strong enough to fly yet—wait just a few more days." However, Topaz, Jr., was a restless little fellow—he was just boy all through—and he wanted to try his little wings-- and he wanted to get some of that good honey he heard his father speak of pumping from the flowers—and he wanted to catch a fly or a mosquito or something on the wing. He was just sort of aching to be a boy scout, or, 1 guess 1 should say a bird scout. So one sunny morning lie sat on the edgo of the little moss covered nest, which his Mother and had made to look so much like the tree street on which It was built, that It could not bo seen by people—he just sat there and beat his tiny Wings so hard that he fell right down to the earth. It was just about the time of day Daddy Humming Bird was coming home, so he found him and carried him back, and together Mamma and Daddy piit "him to bed—and there Mamma Humming Bird nursed him back to health. So for long days Topaz, Jr., had to keep real quiet while his little sister sat and did bird embroidery, and his mother told hint stories. And oh, such wonderful stories as she told—stories of the great famify from which he had come—(for she was very proud of being a humming bird—and wanted her small son to be proud of it also.) There he lay and heard stories of relatives In far-off lands with sword beaks, of his cousins, Polytmus, of Black Heads, who had two tall feathers twice as long as their body; of his cousins Delelande Humming Birds, who had chests as broad as their bodies—of the Racket Tails, of the Comet Tails, of the Flame Tails—and all he heard were stories of wonderous beauty— of jeweled breasts—of tiny daintiness. At last Topaz, Jr., was well, and Daddy said he was able ami old enough to fly. So little by little he learned how to use his wingt, arid one bright day, he flew with daddy out into the beau tiful world—out to match the color of his dress with the color of the sky and the flowers and the grass and waving grain—out to sip the nectur with his little pump-like throat. And what a happy Junior lie was. There was only one thing for which he envied the other little birds he met—and that was their talent, for song. My, but he wished he too could sing, and so he told little sister Ruby Throat one night when he got home. "Well,, Junior," said Ruby Throat, like the sensible little ftrl she was. "the Great Maker could not give you everything, hlnk of your wondrous beauty, and think from what a great family beauties \on have come.' That's right, sifter mine," ansvcred Topaz. Jr. "I sure am proud 1 am a Humming f-iird. ' Lovingly. AUNT ESTE. MARCH 28, 1914 animal refuses to drink. J. D.
