Favored a Higher Fine.

win Taylor, the son of the present
American consul at Marseilles, was a good
deal like other boys, while at school in
his old home, at Hudson, Wis. One day
he called his father into the library, and
said:
'Pa, don't like to tell you, but the
teacher and have had trouble"
whats the matter nowG"
s'Well, cut one of the desks little
with my knife, and the teacher says
I've got to pay dollar or take lickin'. I"
'Well, why don't you take the licking
and say nothing more about it, l can
stand considerable physical pain, so long
as it visits our family in that form. OF
course, it is not pleasant to be fogged,
but you have broken one of the rules of
the school, and l guess you'll have to
stand it. presume the teacher will in
wrath remember mercy, and avoid dis
abling you so that you can't get on your
coat any more"
'But, pa, feel mighty bad about it
already, and if you would pay my fine I'd
never do it again. know good deal
more about it now and will never do it
again. A dollar amt much to you, pa,
but it's a heap to boy that hasn't got a
cent. If could make dollar as easy as
you can, pa, I'd never let my little boy
get flogged that way just to save dol
lar. If l had little feller that got licked
bekuz didn't put up fer him, I'd hate
the sight of money always. I'd feel as
eff every dollar had in my pocket had
been taken out Of my little kids back"
"Well, now, pll tell you what I'll do.
I'll give you dollar to save you from
punishment this time, but if anything Of
this kind ever occurs again, I'll hold you
while the teacher licks you, and then I'll
get the teacher to hold you while
l lick you That's the way feel
about that. If you want to go around
whiting up our educational institutions
you can do so; but you will have to pur-
chase them afterward yourself. / don't

The boy took the dollar and went
thoughtfully away to school, and ne
more was ever said about the matter un
til Mr. Taylor learned casually severa
months later that the Spartan youth hac
received the walloping and filed away
the dollar for future reference. Th'

THE BAD BOY.

ssSay, don't you think there ought to
be law to kill dudes when they are out
OF season9" said the bad boy to the gro
ceryman.
Dudes ought to be protected the same
as any other game, " said the grocery man.
They are harmless except in August,
when they ought to be muzzled. But
what ails your ip2n
"a calf kicked it. / don't think calf
has got any more sense than dude. The
humane society man told me to keep a
watch and when saw any of these fel-
lows that bring calves to town in wagon
abusing the calves to make them stop it,
or have them arrested Yesterday 1 saw
calf all tied up by the legs in wagon,
believing, and sneaked up behind
and cut the rope around its legs, to
relieve the pain. How do you sup
pose the calf thanked me2 Kicked
me in the lip with both hoofs, and
the driver chased me two blocks with a
blacksnake whip. There has got to be
better understanding between calves
and us humane society fellows, or shall
resign. Wait till go and carry these
red socks to the baby and will play you
a game of dominoes, and the bad boy
went out whistling, "I'm Denny Nc

cocious boy. 'sWell, tell me, said the
youth in coaxing voice. "She says
you've got lots of money" ''Well, what

A FATHERS CURSE.
,od-bye, AfcNultyl'

Goodbye, McNultY"
The tall lissope form of Esmeralda
w. Perkins was sharply outlined against
Vivian McNulty's left ear as he stood
that beautiful June evening in the door
way Of Brierton villa, hoping against
hope, and praying that something
knew or cared not what-might occur
to sweep from the horizon of his life the
awful sorrow that was hanging over it
like pall---a sorrow that would make
every day an con of misery, every word
Of Joy that others might utter knell of
despair.
They had quarreled, these two-they
who in the beautiful days Of autumn,
when the leaves were turning golden,
when the hills were crowned with amber
light and the valleys seemed like huge
cups brimming over with purple haze,
and when the trotting record was low
cred to 2;0St, had plighted their troth
so willingly and yet so solemnly, think
ing, and rightly, too, that this blending
forever of two hearts was a solemn, holy
act, one that should ever be looked upon
in silent gratitude-and now they were
to part forever, take separate paths on the
eventful journey of life-that journey
which they hoped by constant compan-
ionship and enduring love to make one
Of ceaseless joy and sweet content. But
now all was changed, and the se-tinted
future which they had often pictured to
themselves and talked about in the calm
hopefulness that only young man on
SO a month and pure, passionless girl
who can eat the bottom crust of pie
without quiver can assume had passed
away forever, and in its place there was q
yawning chasm Of despair and grief.
Il can only tell you, . she murmured,
when finally his agonized entreaties had
moved her to speech, that our marriage
would render your life one Of constant
misery; that it is better we should pari

Birds Nests.

There are few things as wonderful
as birds nests. These little creatures,
which one would suppose good for
nothing but to pour forth their sweet
songs, are really capable of building
"houses without hands," These are
built for the purpose of rearing and
protecting their young. The mate
rails used for the nests, are different
with different birds, but they are
generally straw, twigs, wool, thread,
or moss. 1 once saw nest made out
of some very fine lace, taken from
the clothes-Iines of our neig hbors.
The styles of building their nests
are nearly, if not quite, as numerous
as those employed by man in build
ing houses. Some English author
has classified them into twelve dis
tinct groups : miners, ground build
ers, maSOns, carpenters, platform
builders, basket makers, weayers,
tailors, felt makers, ,cementers, dome
builders and parasites. These names
indicate the methods used in build
ing. Under the head of miners come
the common bank swallows. The
hawk is both ground and platform
builder. The robbin is a mason, and
the wood-pecker is carpenter. The
martial eagle, of Southern Africa,
builds platform said to be strong
enough to hold the largest man.
The magpie and crow are basket
makers. and hang their nests from
some twig or branch where the leaves
entirely conceal them. OF the weay-
ers, the Baltimore oriole is perhaps
the most familiar example.
There are many other examples Of
the wonderful ways in which binds
construct their nests. Who teaches
them bow to do all these things is a
question we cannot answer. We
know, however, that they must have
a natural impulse which leads them
to do, without reasoning, what is best
for their own safety.
A short time ago read a story
about magpie, which was accustom-
ed to receive dainty bits from the
mouth of its mistress. One day it
came and perched on her shoulder,
and, putting its beak between her
lips, the grateful bird dropped a
large, fat worm into her mouth -
