One of the strongest arguments that

of the university base ball mines Of 1881
to 1884 inclusive. The nine of4'81 had
an average rank OF seventy. six in class

A Pet Crow Dies of Sorrow.

George M. DOll, Mill Greek farmer,
q few years ago caught a young crow,
which he raised, and, by perseverance,
succeeded in teaching it to say q great
many things. The pet was called Jim, u
and he was made so much Of by Mr.. and
Mrs. Doll, who were childless, that he
seemed almost human. Six months ago
Mr.. Doll sicxened, and in couple Of
weeks died of pneumonia. Jim" sat on
chair beside his master during his en-
tire illness, and, when the hour of dis
solution approached, Jim" joined his
mistress in her lamentations and re-
peatedly said, 90, dear George" and
similar endearing things. After Mr..
Dolls spirit had gone bhe pet crow
hoped up onto the pillow and gave
vent to the most pitsous cries. The
grief strjcken-bird refused to leave it's
master, and after the body was cofined
few up onto the I'D and gazed SORROW
fully down through the glass at the fea-
lures Of the dead, breaking out repeat
edly in such expressions as, poor
George" etc.
"Jim" refused food and could not be
forced from his perch until the casket
was closed. When the casket was borne
from the house "Jin" flew after it utter
ing shrill noises Indicative of extreme
anguish. As the funeral procession
moved off the crow followed, lowering
over the hearse and portion of the
time was perched upon it. At the
cemetery he flew upon the top Of a
monument close by the open grave, and
remained there till the body Of his mas
ter was covered from sight, After the
concourse of Borrowing friends had
turned away from the grave "Jim" flew
down upon 1t and gave vent to the most
pitiful cries of distress. At night he
came flying home, tired and cold. Next
morning bright and early he flew off in
the direction of the cemetery and was
found there huttering and stalking
up and down the side Of the grave like
sentinel on duty. Day after day he re-
turned to the grave Of his dead.
One day, three months after the death
of MI. Doll, the hired man, }. Fred
Dwell, was finally kicked by horse,
and on the morning of the funeral "Jim u
rode to the cemetery on the hearse and

senger carried food to him. "Jim's'
demonstrations of sorrow gave way to
silent grief, and his tender cries for
"Poor George" were substituted by sup
pressed means. His appetite began tc
decrease, and his glossy black feathers
which he used to dress with so much
care were neglected entirely. Sunday,
when the widow went with friends to
