man, lis never to make a mistake,
and, therefore, never have occasion to
correct one. Bennett makes few
errors. He never acknowledges one.
I remember few years ago he went
into his club Christmas day for dinner.
It was his usual custom to give his
waiter S. on Christmas. He had two
small rolls of money in his pocket.
One contained five 81 notes, the other
five 81, 900 notes. When Bennett had
finished he handed the waiter one of
the rolls of money without examining
it, presuming it to be S.. The waiter
thanked him and showed it into his
pocket without examination. After
the great editor had gone the waiter
drew forth his roll of bills and dis
covered to his surprise five 81, 900 bills.
He was actually frightened, and went
to the steward, giving him the money
to lock up in the safe until Mr.. Bennett
returned, stating that he knew that
Mr.. Bennett must have made a mis-
take.
IA few days later Bennett returned
to the club. The waiter and the
steward called him back into rear

roll of bills. both stating that he must
have made mistake. At this Bennett

True to General ,Iackson.

"There used to be an old fellow up in
my country" said Judge Upton Young,
"who was famous in the early days as a
militia Colonel. As a drill master he
was perfect and in discipline very severe.
Just before the war he closed every drill
with these orders:
COMPANY, attention! All who favor
General jackson for President of the
United States, three PAGES to the front.
Forward, march!
1.-The entire command always voted
But one day one of the soldiers got it
into his head that General Jackson was
dead, and so at the next drill, when the
Colonel had given his customary order,
this fellow stood stock still. This in
subordination created momentary
panic, but the Colonel recovered himself,
and, with his face purple with rage,
shouted:
Jonathan Thompson, attention. You
vote for General Jackson or I'll have you
court-martialed and shot sir. Three
PAGES to the front, John Thompson.
Forward, march!
"'And you bet John Thompson
marched-whte and scared as any pet
rabbit you ever saw. After which the
Colonial said:
"'I have the honor of announcing to
this company that General Jackson has
again been elected President of the
United States magnanimously." ~ St..

That the male bird should be broader
in his sympathies and affections will
not, to most men, at least, seem strange.
Another correspondent relates an
equally curious incident about wren
and some young robins. ''One day last
summer" he says, "while watching q

to see wren alight on the edge of the

be set down to the credit of female

the wants of that horse-leech, young

prey, like hawks and eagles, the female
is the larger and more powerful, and
therefore better able to defend and to
care for her young. Among all an
finals the affection of the mother for her
offspring seems to be greater than that
of her mate, though among the birds
the male sometimes shows superabund-

young of other species. Thus cor

rearing their second brood in a box on
the porch of my correspondent, and q
pair Of vireos had a nest with young in
some lilac bushes but few feet away.
The writer had observed the male blue
bird perch in the lilacs near the young
vireos, and, he feared, with murderous
intent. On such occasions the mother
vireo would move among the upper
branches much agitated. If she grew
demonstrative the bluebird would drive
her away. Ore afternoon the observer
pulled away the leaves so as to have a
full view of the vireos' nest from tho
seat where he sat not ten feet away.
Presently he saw the male bluebird
come TO the nest with worm in its
beak, and as the young vireos stretched
up their gaping mouths he dropped the

OF HIS OBSERVATIONS.
Strange Rehearsal of the Crows-A Blue
birds Fatherly Enthusiastically of
the Wren.

The other day was walking in the
silent woods, when l said to myself:
''There is nothing in the woods"
I sat down upon a rock. Then I lifted
up my eyes and beheld newly con-
structed crows nest IN the hemlock tree
near by. The nest was but little above
the level of the top of a ledge of rocks
only few yards away that crowned the
rim of the valley. But it was placed
behind the stem of the tree from the
rocks, so as to be secure from observa-
ton on that side. The crow evidently
knew what she was about Presently
heard what seemed to be the voice of q
young crow in the tree-tops not far of.
This knew to be the voice of the
female and that she was being fed by the
male. She was probably laying, or
about beginning to lay eggs in the nest.
Crows, as we'll as most of our smaller
birds, always go through the rehearsal
of this act of the parent feeding the
young many times while the young are
yet a long way in the future. The
mother bird seems timid and babyish,
and both in voice and manner assumes
the character of young fledgling. The
male brings the food and seems more
than usually solicitous about her well
fare. Is it to conserve her strength or
to make an impression on the develop
ing eggs? The same thing may be OBJ
served among the domestic pigeons and
is always sign that new brood is not
far off.
