The Buzzard in a Shirt.
From the Atlantic journal.

IIo" tuS hlNUtN dOuEIlNl.
Jerry Davis is the name of little
boy. One day he found a dead sheep,
around which a number of buzzards
were holding high carnival. He de-
termined upon catching one of the
buzzards and at once built a yery
large trap. He baited it with the
dead sheep. and in a very short time
he had captured a buzzard.
He then took one of his shirts and
fitted it on to the buzzard, cutting
off the sleeves and putting the birds
wings through the arm-holes. He
cut off the front tail of the shirt and
sewed the garment firmly to the buz-
zard's body, after which he liberated
the bird. The bird tapped his wings
and flew up into the air, the tail OF
the shirt fluttering behind him as he
flew. About twenty-five crows fol-
lowed after the strang-looking OBJ
ject, and the buzzard was pecked and
Knocked about at q terrible rate.
Three or four days afterwards Jer-
ry found the buzzard mile away
huddled up against tree, dead.
When washday came, Jerry was
called upon for his shirt, and the estory
leaked out. His father was SO much
amused that lie would not allow the
toy's mother to whip him.

A Swedish Claim.

It is not generally known that. in
conformity with an old treaty,
Sweden has an uncontested claim,
only Professionally waived, upon q
bit of German territory. Among the
possessions acquired by Sweden at
the close of the thirty years. war, in
164S, was the town of Wismar. In
1903 she ceded it, in consideration of
Il sum of money, for a term of 100
years, to Mecklenburg- -Schwerin. At
the expiration of this term she has
the right to reclaim the city ON the
payment of the sum and 8 per cent
interest. 1t is not believed that, un-
der the existing cordial relations be-
tween Germany and her Scandinavian
neighbor, the right ofredemption will
be insisted upon. nor, indeed. is it
supposed that the German people
would ever consent to relinquish
Wismar. In the meanwhile, this sea-
port town has all along been in an
anomalous position, having no re-
presentationin in the Mecklenburg land
tag.-London Star.

The King Of Sweden's Adventures In
SDain.
From the London Vanity Fair.

From the London Vanity Fair.
The King of Sweden is relating
with much relish an amusing adven-
ture which befell him recently in
Spain. 1t appears that while his
majesty was travelling between Cor
dova and Madrid in the dead ofnigllt,
occupying a sleeping-car in the ex-
press train, mana most respect
able tradesman of the former place
awakening from his slumbers by the
train stopping at station, alighted
in the belief that he had reached his
destination. On discovering his ter
ror he attempted to regain the train,
but was too late. Not to be done,
however, he tore along the line after
the train, and succeeded in reaching
it, and. jumping on the foot-board,
wrenched open the first door to hand
and-found himself in the presence of
King Oscar and his suite, who were
slumbering peacefully. The unhap-
py man, seeing the glittering uni
forms hanging abont the dimly-
lighted car, guessed at once where be
was, and was on the point ofbeating
a retreat in sheer despair, when sud-
denly his majesty awoke, and seeing
q stranger in the car shouted Justify
to his companions, "Brigands! and
pounced upon the unlucky individual,
followed by the Swedish ambassador
and equerry, and seizing him began
to feel for arms. His hand touching
something hard his majesty shouted,
''Here is a trabucca!" and drew from
the intruder's pocket a long-necked
flask filed with manzanilla. Mean
while the train had stopped and, the
officials arriving upon the scene, the
man was questioned, and, having at
last recovered from his terror ut
struggling with a crowned head, ex-
planned; and, after profuse apologies
on both sides, returned to his own
car, when once more the train pro-
ceeded.

Fire and Birthstone,
London Globe.

London Globe.
At the church congress at Man
chester the attendance was far more
than the room could accommodate.
The chair was taken by the bishop
of Wakefield. Canon Luckock, the
reader of the first paper, spoke of
future punishment in connection with
heather and those in Christian lands
who were practically brought up un-
der heather surroundings. He held
that before sentence was passed, the
conditions should be strictly fair.
Archdeacon Farrar said the view
of future life, which notlong ago was
common, was that the vast majority
of mankind, Christian as well as
heathen, dying in. nnrepentent sin,
passed after this life into q lake of
fire, of birthstone, where in punish
ment for misdoings of their brief
earthly days, they we're tortured in
inconceivable agony in material
flames to eternity. Within living
memory this was the orthodox
view, and anyone who repudiated it,
or who even swerved materially from
it, was denounced as a hereto and
unbeliever. The views he repudiated
with all the force of his conviction.
To be him they seemed dishonorable
to the view which God had given us
of Himself, to be subversive of the
full message of salvation, to be fun
damentally oppoLed to our unso-
phisticated ideas of justice as well as
mercy, and abhorrent to the natural
reason and conscience of mankind.
Rev. Sir George w. Cox was equal

doctrine of eternal punishment. His
opinions in the end Tread in his alb
sence by layman) elicted sounds of
disapprobation. There was kissing
at a reference to the tyranny ofsacred
books, and ut ths doubts expressed
as to the authenticity ofsome por-
tions of the new testament. The au-
thor even doubted. whether some of
the discourses in the gospels were
ever delivered at oil. The president
interfered, however, to prevent any
demonstration, either for or against,
urging the solemn nature otsthe sub
ject as a plea for silence on the part
of the audience. One or. two speakers
at an overflow meeting in the Free
Trade hall objected, but the majority,
appeared to be in accord with Arch
deacon Farrar and Canon Luckock,
though they resented the skepticism !

Joel and the Steer.

The people of East Killingly, in the
adjoining county, think that a pretty
funny thing occurred in that neigh.
borhood not long ago. Mr.. Joe
Thomas, who is the hired man of ar
East Killingly farm, has a reputation
for mixing himselfinto every dilemma
that can find no other unfortunate
person to fool with.
One morning a few weeks ago Joe;
went to the barn to yoke a pair o.
very large untamed steers. The yoke
was large and cumbrous and the
bows We're big, but he got the wooden
loop over one steers head and pin.

a wrestie, slipping about in the
treacherous yard in his effort to hold
the animal by one horn and carry
the heavy yoke end with his tres
arm. Finally, by an inexplicable
mischance, either the yoked steer
twisted the other bow over
Joeps head and below his arms. OF
else Joel fell into it, he doesn't know
which. A moment later q neighbor
approaching the house beheld the un.
happy hired man yoked UP. with the
frantic steer, his wild red face pro-
truding through the. big OK bow,
skipping and plunging at terrific
speed down the road toward him.
Joel espied the neighbor, and at
every jump he. roared in sputtering
tones:
"Head us off, - it! head us off,
The neighbor succeeded in doing it,
turning the team by dint of very &C.
tive work into an angle of u stone
wall. Then he nervously hoped
around to the steers head. meaning
to release the animal before Joel was

that the hired man manifested the

his disgust at the neighbours lack ot

A Clever Swindle.
St. James Gazette.

Nv. oSAuACc NUACoSCs
An ingenious stroke of business
has been done by a swindler who is
now being sought for by the Moscow
police. A young man of respectable
appearance recently entered q jewel
er's shop, selected 4 ,OOOroubles worth
of trinkets, paid down sum of 500
roubles on account, took the jewelry
and explained that if an assistant
would accompany him to the neigh
boring Office of q well-known whole
sale baker the balance of the sum
due would be at once handed over.
The baker in question was in the hab-
it of contracting for supplying large
establishments with bread, and as
he was notoriously q wealthy man
an assistant was allowed to accom-
pany the adventurer to his house.
of course, the swindler had already
visited the baker and made him ON
innocent accomplice. On entering
the office the adventurer said to the
baker in an off-hand way: "This
man will take the $500 that you
have arranged to let me have. He
has had 5OOroubles from me. Please
take his receipt and oblige me by at
tending to him quickly. l must be
off. Good day!" The bakers reply
was a respectful Certainly, sir; good
day." He told the assistant to sit
down and wait tor O few minutes and
in the meantime the swindler vanish
ed. When at last the baker, after
listening at various tubes and max
ing his replies, announced, "The
bread is ready for you now. How
many carts have you to carry itin?"
for the first time it dawned upon the
victim than in certain circumstances
''three thousand five hundred" might
allude not to roubles but to loaves.
the swindler had, in fact, pretended
to be the director of an orphanage,
and had intimated that, twice a week
until further notice, he should require
$500 loaves, and that the man who
would periodically call for them
would also pay for them in ready
money.

cakewalks common in the southern
states, and not unknown in the
northern. The walk usually winds
up a ball. Couples, drawn by lot,
walk around a cake specially prepared
