Among those things which all women

Is a splendid external application sold
In most drug stores under the name of
"Mother's Friend." It is a penetrating
liquid and many and many a mother tells
how It so wonderfully aided them through
the period of expectancy. Its chief pur
pose is to render the tendons, ligaments
and muscles so pliant that nature's ex
pansion may be accomplished without the
intense strain so often characteristic of
the period of expectancy.
"Mother's Friend" may therefore be
considered as indirectly having a splendid
Influence upon the early disposition of
the future generation.
Whatever induces to the ease and com
fert of the mother should lenve Its Impress
tipon the nervous system of the baby.
At any rate it Is reasonable to believe
that since "Mother's Friend" has been a
companion to motherhood for more than
half a century It must be a remedy that
women have learned the great value of.
Ask at any drug store for "Mother's
Friend," a penetrating, external liquid
of great help and value. And write to

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

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.
