A BELATEll RETRABTION

About 1894 a story was circulated that Dr. Baboock was not entitled to the credit of the invention of the Milk Tester that bears his _name, and coupled with it other gtatgments equally false. I did not know then nor till years later, that they were falsehoods and circulated them without determining their truth or falsehood. l hereby take this means oi! undoing the unjustice done-

In an apple tree so near that. a branch lilmost overhung Peter several of his feathered friends were gossiping. They didn't know he was there. He was so still that no one had noticed him. He had been there before they had arrived. They were ex- cited. They had just chased Ohat- ierer the Red Squirrel back to the Green Forest where he belonged, and now they were talking about him.

Some one had said that Chat- terer took no interest in his family. Sammy Jay, than whom no one knows more about what goes on in the Green Forest. and among his neighbors of the Old Orchard, had said that Mrs. Chatterer had babies. He knew it because he had listened at the entrance to their home when mother was away and He knew that Chatterer had nothing to do with them, or with their mother

West opened the heart seven —- but before we follow the actual course of play, let's consider what would happen it lln averase player sat in the East position. with on expert handling the South cards. it is fair to say that. the heart ijack would be played very swiftly lfrom the East hand! The expert declarer would duck, and now East would lead another heart. If he led an honor, Sonlthwould win with the ace; if East led a low heart. South would win with the nine or ten, South would then lead l. dia- mond. If West put up the king. he could not return a heart, being out of that suit; if East won the trick, his hand would thereafter .be "dead." South would easily control all suits, knock out the sec- ond diamond stopper st his own leisure, and end up with ten tricks.

When the hand was played in s.

lrubber game, however, South was |not the only expert -— both East and West were also highly skilled -and East did not put an honor ,on his partner's heart leedl Thus. isouth was forced to win with one ,of his low equals. Then, when ,South led s diamond (he could not hope for nine tricks without clear- ing the diamond suit). West ‘promptly went in with the king and returned the heart which his -pc.rtner's first play had permitted him to keep. Now East put in an honor, and no matter whether he [held up or won the trick, declare: was "fixed? East still had the ldlamond ace for entry, and declare: lstill could not make his contract [without clearing the diamonds.

either.

"Do you mean he doesn't go near them at all?" tiwttered Skimmer the Swallow. Skimmer is himself the best of fathers and a faithful mate.

Sammy Jay nodded. "He prob- ably won't know his own children when he sees them for the first time after they are big enough to come out to play," said he.

“Imagine thati" exclaimed Win- some Bluebird.

"Tut, tut. tut, tutl I can't imagine sucll a thing," scolded Jenny Wren. "If Johnny Wren

treated me and our babies like that I would pull out all his feathers. I would so." She sounded as if she meant it. Probably she did, for there isn't a spunkler, ‘more i. dependent person than this little brown bird. You would guess this by the saucy way she cocks up her tail.

"His big gray cousin, Happy Jack, is no better. Mrs. Happy Jack has all the care of the family no matter how big it is. It is the same way with Rusty the Fox Squirrel," said Sammy Jay.

"I can't understand it," spoke up Welcome Robin, who is s lov- lng and hard-working father. He not only does his share in feeding his babies but when they are big enough to leave the nest takes charge of them and watches over them and feeds them until he is sure they can look out for them- selves.

"Do you know what I think?" said Skimmer the Swallow, dart- ing out from his perch to chase and catch n passing fly, then gracefully circling back to his perch.

"What do you think?" Winsome Bluebird. '

are poor fathers. They are lazy, or selfish. or both. I guess Chat- terer and Happy Jack and Rusty and the other squirrel cousins are lno worse than other animal fath- ~ers. Take Peter Rabbit, for in- stance," twittered Skimmer.

That was when Peter's ears be- .gan to burn as it is said when people hesr unpleasant things about themselves. He listened more intently than ever.

"l gums Mrs. Peter wouldn't trust him with the babies. He is too happy-go-lucky, too heedless to be trusted," said Skimmer, and darted away after another fly or insect.

"I have heel-d that Buster Bear not only takes no care of his cubs but they are afraid of him when they are little, and with reason," said Sammy Jsy.

“What lesson?" asked Welcome Robin. '

"He might est them. Of course

I don't kndw that he would do such a thing, but they do say over in the Green Forest that no baby Bear is sole from Buster unless mother is around. Probably he wouldn't know that they were his own babies if he found them alone, but it might not make any differ- ence if he did. He is an eater of meat," saidBammy Jaw. Then, remembering that every one there {knew that he was suspected, and pwith reason, of taking baby birds from the nests of others, and that some knew he hsd taken eggs, he hurried to change the subject. "Not. all fur-coated fathers are bad fathers," said he. He/wss :right about that, but the others ‘looked doubtful.
