weather. The rain, and mist, and fog
and the public expressions probably put
the idea into the startling boys head.
lie came down town and bought stuffed
robin at a bird store, went home and
placed it on the limb of sha le tree, and
when the father came home to d nner,
his attention was called TO the fact tha
the spring birds had returned.
- Good gracious me-" he exclaimed,
as he put on his spcctacles and saw the
robin.
Winteris over, isn't it?' inquired
Mrs. Startling.
'.0f course it is. Well that beats me
You might as well take that money laid
by for more coal and fx the children up
with new shoes
While the old man was combing his
hair for dinner, Tom put the bird on the
gate post and his father saw the second
robin and exclaimed:
I" Eliza, If any poor folks come around
here give EN- halfthose 'taters in the eel
lar. for the weatherll be hotter'n blazes
in less than a month"
Before the innocent man showed back
from the table the bird was roosting on
shrub. but careless handling had pull

oid man. and he pat on his hat and went
out and lifted the bird from the limb
while be was lifting. Tom was flying
down the alley. How he came out las

VIZ are heartily glad to- note that the
trade dollar scare in San Francisco and
other largo cities ON the coast is abatins.
Trade dollars are now taken n, par in
sums OF five dollars or less the same ~
halves and quarters. There never was
any good reason why the trade dollar
should deprcciato below the market price
Of subsidiary silver. and il citizens had
insisted on making five trade dollars a
legal tender according to the terms Of
tho Law under which they are coined.
We should have avoided the difficulties
under which we have been struggling for
the past few months. A. il is. a few
spectators have managed to Turn small
fortunes out Of the necessities Of honest
working men. and the matter has now
finally adjusted itself.
