St. Louis Has Colony of Clay-Eaters
IN 8T. LOUIS, MO., there has been discovered a colony of clay enters. Their
* source of supply Is an Ideal clay mound about which they gather to scoop
it up and consume It. They claim that they do not eat It because of hunger
but because It leaves a pleasant “tang” Id the mouth and Is a desirable food.
Persons of various ages admit eating this clay and some Jinve done It for years.
This particular mound Is moat favorable because Its day Is not gritty.
Our
photograph shows two youngsters sampling the clay.
meant that somewhere down the
Laughing Brook was a home with
babies in IL The very thought made
Billy’s mouth water, fie cut his visit
with Jerry Muskrat ahort and sturted
down the Laughing Brook.
Now. unlike Peter Rabbit. Billy
knew Just what to look for, and where,
to look for It. He knew all about the
ways of Rattles the KingAsher, and
Just what kind of a place he would
choose for a home, and he didn't have
a doubt of being able to And It. But
he took precious good care not to let
Rattles the Kingfisher catch a glimpse
of him. He knew that If Rattles once
saw him going down the laughing
ltrook be would mount guard over his
home, and Billy was of no mind to
face that sharp, spear-like hill which
Rattles possesses. So whenever he
heard Rattlea routing. Billy bid until
the way was clear ouce more.
You remember that Billy was hid-
ing right near the sandbank where
Rattles bad made his home at the
time Peter Rabbit, watching from the
opposite shore, discovered IL All Ihst
Peter saw Bill Mink saw, too. He
saw the little hole close up under the
edge of the high sandbank where the
grasses hung over and partly hid IL
He saw Rattles go In and come put
again. And when he swam across to
the foot of the hank and tested the
air with hli keen little nose he smelled
young kingfllher* Before he had
made up bit mind Just what to do he
heard Hatties returning, and once
more hid. The Instant Rattlea de-
parted again for another tiny fish for
those hungry babies, Billy scrambled
up tbe bank. There was no time to
lose. He wanted to get those babies
and get away before Rattles should
return. He had nothing to fear from
the little kingfisher* they would be
quite helpless and harmless.
So Billy scrambled np tbe sandbank
and Into the hole. The Instant he got
his head Inside he forgot everything
but the feast be would have, for his
nose told him that way way back at
the end of a long hall was a nestful
of young bird* If be hadJdopped to
smell a little more carefully that nose
of his might have told him something
else. But he was to eager that be
didn't stop to find out all that his
nose might hare told him. That wras
where he .made a mistake—a very
great mlstnk* If lie had heeded his
nose he would have remembered
something which he had quite forgotten
In his greedy haste. He would hsve
remembered that he hadn't seen any
thing of Mrs. Rattle* and Mrs. Rat-
tles carries quite as big and sharp
a bill as does Rattles himself.
Rut Billy had forgotten all about
this and In his greedy haste pushed
In along that narrow hall where there
wasn’t room to turn around. It wns a
mistake, a very great mistake. Half
way to the nest at the end of that long
bull Billy found It ouL

EACH HAS HIS
PLACE
By DOUGLAS MALLOCH
T'llK sea looks up to the hills,
* The hills look down to the sea,
Knell looks upon the plnce It fills
And thinks tbe other free.
The waters ebb and How,
The slaves of wind and tide:
The niountnlns may not move, and to j
They are dissatisfied.
The ocean longs to rest.
The bills to wander far.
Though ouch la serving God Its beat,
As men and*all tilings are.
Yet men grow discontent.
And envious, and sad;
So many a weary hour Is spent,
An hour that might lie glad.
I know not what the case.
Your duty sea or hill.
But this I know: It Is a place
That no one else can fill.
Rarh has some task to do,
Kach has some thing to he—
You look at me. I look at you.
And think the other free,

No Positive Proof of
Dote of Chriat’e Birth
All Inveetigatlona prove conoluslv*
ly that It la Impossible to determine
to the satisfaction of chronologlsts
In general either the date or the
year of Christ's birth. It i» almoal
unlversallv admitted that thss event
preceded the commencement of th*
Christian era as now -eckoned. St
Clement Hies It on November 18 t.*i
the twenty-eighth year of tbe Katp-
eror Augustus, a little more than
two year* before the beginning of
our era.
Klnce the death of derod th*
Great, according to Josephus, must
hare occurred before the spring of
R. C. 4, modern scholar* are gener
ally agreed that Christ's birth could
not bare beev later than B. C. 4;
and there Is come reason for believ-
ing that it was In B. C. 0 or T.
As to tbe day and month of
Christ's birth the difference* are still
more difficult to overcome Modern
Investigation Is strongly sgslnat
Christmas, or any day In midwinter,
as unseasonable either for the
shepherds to be watching their Hoi ks
In the fields, or for ffie congregating
of the people from all part* of the
kingdom to he registered md taxed,
which was th* ocrasloa of Mery and
Joseph being In Bethlehem These
two arguments are nsed. along with
others, by the BIbUcaJ scholar* wbo
bold to the opinion that tbs nativity
was not earlier in the year than
March. These student* have Inclined
to various m nths, all tha way from
March to August.
