THE TRUMP ECHO Every player past the novice stage is familiar with most of the standard signals, such as "high- iow" and so forth, but there is one convention not so well known-the "trump echo." The function of THE KING OF THE WOODS Where e'er the bells of freedom, UK There equal rights make each a king. : -old Mother Nature. 0 O O Dowll in the Land-of-always summer. at least in some parts of it, they call him King of the Woods. He is a feathered King in name only for,he rules no one but himself. A King is supposed to be a ruler of others. A King is sup- posed to have majesty. and there is no majesty about this King of the Woods as there is with King Eagle,who looks every inch a King. No. sir, King of the Woods doesn't look the part. He isn't even big. certainly not big enough to com- mand respect because of his size. There is nothing royal about him excepting his coat of several coi- ors. Kings of old were supposed to be royally dressed. so perhaps it is because of his lovely coat that Motmot, which is his other name is called King of the Woods. Farmer Brown's boy. visiting way down ill the Land-of-always- summer. had heard so much about the King of, the Woods that he was eager to see Motmot. Not knowing anything about him he went look- ing for a bird or majestic appear- ance such as he thought one must have to be called King. Everywhere he went he watched for the King of the Woods. He saw some birds he knew and many he did not know, but none that looked in any way kingiy. It was disappointing. Yes, sir, Iii was disappointing. It seemed to him that he just had to see a King or the Woods. You know how it is with disappoint- ments. Tho longer the disappoint- ment the, greater the desire. Then one morning when he was early abroad with one who knew the birds there sounded a low note that had in it something that re- minded him of Goldie the Oriole and something that made him think of Blackbill the Cuckoo. yet was unlike the notes 01 either. It was repeated over and over. some- times slowly and again faster. It was rather soft yet clear. at times louder than at other times, but -never very loud. and at all times pleasant to hear. "The King of the Woods." whis- pered his friend. "Where?" asked Farmer Brown's boy in an excited whisper. "Up in that cocoa tree," replied "Do you mean that black bird up there?" his friend. pointing. Farmer Brown's boy looked. He didnt see what he was looking for because he wasn't looking for what he saw. No. sir, he wasn't looking for what he saw. He was looking for he knew not exactly what. but certainly not what he now saw. "Where?" he repeated eagerly. "There." replied his friend, point- ing up in the cocoa tree: "Don't you see him up hear those cocoa- nuts?" Farmer Brown's boy saw a bird. He had Man it from the first but had given it little more than a. glance. It appeared to him not un- like Creaker the Grackle he was familiar with back home in the north, but with a longer tail. Tilat is. this bird seemed to be near Creaker's size. "Do you meall that black bird up there?" he asked. lie sounded in- cl-eduloue. The friend chuckled. iiYou are looking at him against the sky and that is why he looks to be black. Wait. until you see him with the sun shining on him. Then he is something to ace. You won't call him black then," said he. The notes had ceased. Another bird joined the one in the tree. To- gether they flew.away. If Farmer Brown's boy had been disappointed before in not finding the King of the Woods he was doubly disap- pointed now. Yes. sir, he was so. He showed it in his face. His friend chuckled again. He understood just- how Farmer Brown's boy felt. "You don't think he is much oi a King. this valuable device is illustrated In a ststementlsaued in connec- in the following hand: tion with ”Education Week." March 4-10.
