tent authority, By the latest rule every
man who conducts large distillery is ipsc
facto Colonel. Every prominent railroad
official is also Colonel. Every Congress
man is Colonel, Every man with Gov.
eminent office is Colonel. Every great
editor is Colonel. The Chief of the Po-
lice Department is de facto Colonel
Then there are other gentlemen who are
Colonels because no other title fits them

never call him Captain; call him Colonel.

A pretty little bird story comes from
Clinton, Mass. A wild partridge flew upon
the piazza of house on the edge of the
town where two little girls were at play
They called their mother to see the strange
visitor, and she succeeded in coaxing it to-
ward her, the bird finally permitting itself
to be taken in her hands, although show
ing uneasiness at the act. The bird was
kept on exhibition in cage for day, and
then set free to return to its native haunts
The partridge afterward repeated its visit,
and has since been seen number of times
in the vicinity. Such tameness in wild
fowl is very rare, and the lady whose win
ming tones overcame its natural shyness
can congratulate herself on being bird
charmer of the first order.
