Sand Hill Cranes Holding Court.

II will tell you something l saw
out in New Mexico" said the eccentric
German traveller. II was out in the
west, and | saw thousands of sand hill
cranes flying toward the place where
l had stopped. They came in flocks
from the east, the west, the north, and
south, and very soon great company
of thousands had collected, almost OBJ
scuring the light of the sun. They re-
mained several days, and l looked on
in wonder to see what they would do
and presently / saw them come togeth-
er about spring, covering the ground
for acres around. Their manner was
solemn as if they had assembled for
deliberation on some weighty matter.
when they were all in place and
everything was still heard clucking
and tapping, and looking up saw that
one of the cranes had risen from the
midst of the vast concourse, and was
making peculiar noise accompanied
by the tapping of wings and all sorts
of gyrations with his body, and ges-
ticulations with his legs and wings as
if he were making speech. After
awhile he stopped a moment, and l
heard a great racket among the cranes
down on the ground as if they were
applauding the one who was up in the
air. Finally the one who was making
a speech stopped and came down.
Then they all rose in a body as if they
were taking rising vote and when
they came down another crane in the
middle of the crowd shot up and fell
back to the ground. AS he came
down they all jumped on him and
killed him. Then they rose in body
and left the place for good. Only the
one crane in the middle remained,
and when l went up to look at him he
was stone dead"
"They were holding court" said the
party in concert, as the German con.
cluded.
Eyes, reckon that must have been
the case," said the German. "That
crane was evidently on trial for his
life, and the one who made the speech
was the judge charging the jury.-At-
lantd Constitution.

Some Gems of English.

The Buffalo Courier makes the follow
ing comments upon the Boston Posts
specimens of bad English:
The ever delightful 'Taverner' in
the Boston Post opens a contest in bad
English by citing rs masterpiece a
remark made by well-dressed,
pleasant-looking man to an older ac-
quaintance in a public place, which
ran exactly as follows: You ant so
fleshy as you was. be you?' After re.
marking that the only words rightly
employed in the whole sentence are
you so, and as 'Taverner' says he
thinks of offering reward for ver-
bal gem equal to this one. Well,
there is the old one said to have been
uttered by some children who were
told that their mother was calling them:
Her ant a-calling we; us don't be-
long to she, however, the Cour ier
does not vouch for the actual occur
ence of the incident. Besides these.
the historic remark of the secretary Of
agriculture in regard to the Milwaukee
riot: Il seen my duty, and l done it,
pales its Intellectual fires.
The Detroit Free Press has the word
of a reputable physician for the COR
rectness of his quotation of ar ingen.
iously bulled sentence which seems
more remarkable than any of these.
He was attending case of chronic
disease which he deemed hopeless. Be-
ing asked by the father of the patient
as to the outlook. he answered frankly
that the end could not be delayed more
than few weeks. WELL" said the
parent, '.if it be's to be it's bound to

The Free Press can vouch for the
following. which was jotted in a note
book while member of staff sat be-
side the log fire in a hospitable farm
house in southern Ohio. The head of
the house sat in the opposite chimney
corner, and the conversation was some
what interrupted by the crying of 8
child in the next room. Calling his
wife, the farmer asked:

.'She wants to go to the protracted

While we were smoking on the We

Ben Worsham's Senseless Dog.

OF all the ''ornary" worthless ours l
ever knew among dogs, Ben Wor-
sham's white dog was the worst He
came to stay at Ben's-about half a
mile Down the road here-one st. Pat
rick's Day. He was a "nigger dog"
but Worsham said he was white
Malay setter. He didn't have sense
enough to howl when you hit him. He
used to sneak over to the village to
steal something, and if anybody looked
at him, he would tuck his tail between
his legs and run till the ground grew
hot under his feet. You never saw
such a coward of dog, Ben used to
half starve him, and about all the time
the dog wasn't running away from
something or somebody. he was hang
ing around the butchers or the bakers.
Ben was trying to be Postmaster
through about five administrations,
and the dog got to thinking they lived
at the post office, seeing Ben there
tkree-fourths of his time. He would
stand in front of the window-the dog
would-till the Postmaster threw him
letter or newspaper-Ben took the
NorthWestern Recorder-and thinking
it was something to eat he would
streak home with it, and the folks
would take it away from him. He
never dared to stop on the road; ONE
he started to run-he ran faster every
jump until he got inside the gate. He
went into the chicken yard once to
forage for his dinner, and an old hen
just about thrashed the life out of
him. After that he tried to make
friends with her, while he watched his
chance to gobble chick, but so long
as she kept her eye on him he didn't
followed the family to church, because
once year the Sunday-school had a
picnic on the grounds, and the dog
would then gorge himself all day and
all night on scraps. He hadn't sense
enough to know what time of the year
the picnic was held, so he used to go
every time the gate was opened,
thinking that there was nothing but
picnics held there. He would go from
neighbor's to neighbor's every day,
and hang around the door for some
thing to eat, and he would stay till he
got it or somebody went out and yelled
at him. They had red calf over at
Ben's and the dog always thought it
was another dog. When they sold the
calf the dog mixed himself.up in the
transaction and went off in the butch
er's cart. The calf came back about
noon, but the dog stayed in the cart
and got killed. That's all the sense he
had. I've seen him shiver in the
piercing cold for an hour right at the
door of his kennel until somebody
came out with club and drove him
in. Then he'd stay in there till some
body came along some time next day
and upset the kennel to get him out.
