A Thieyinp Crow.

''The crow is the brainiest thing that
wears feathers" asserted P. c. Flower.
addressing the Mendacity club at the
Laclede. "What he doesn't know is
hardly worth finding out. You can fool
any other bird with a scarecrow, but
this black pirate of the air can tell a
bundle of old clothes from a real live
man as readily as skilled naturalist
can distinguish between dude and a
dodo. Some years ago was conducting
dry goods and notion store at Nash
vile. 1 had a pet crow that was always
hopping about the store. 1 was contin-
ually missing small articles from the no
ton counter, and as I was not familiar
with the utter depravity of the crow
tribe, I attributed the petty thefts tc
shoplifters. One day $100 bill disap-
peared from the cash desk, and 1 then
hired a detective to watch the store. He
was not long in spotting the thief.
''Mr. Grow flew away with skein of
silk thread and he was followed. He
deposited it in hollow oak tree in the
rear of the building and came back for
another haul. We cut the tree down and
found it to contain more than bushel
basketful of notions of all kinds, filched
from the counters, and in the lot was
my $100 bill. He was the most success
full shoplifter 1 ever knew We impan-
cled a mock court, tried the offender
and passed sentence Of death upon him.
But it was never executed. Whether he
understood the sentence or simply re-
allied that his occupation was gone do
not know, but with loud croak he flew
away, and we never saw him again.

NO DEMOCRACY IN SOCIAL LIFE.
Are We All Aristocratic in Our Methods
of Social Intercourse?


of Social Intercourse?
The time may come when the politi-
clan who sells one by one to the highest
bidder all the offices in his grasp will
not be considered more base in his code
of morals, more hardened in his prac-
tice, than the woman who constantly in
vites to her receptions those alone who
bring her an equal social return, who
shares her beautiful surroundings only
with those who minister to liking she
has for successful social events.
In doing this she is just as unmindful
of the common veal, as unscrupulous in
her use of power as is any city "boss' who
consults only the interests of the ring"
In politics ''bossism'' arouses a scandal.
It goes on in society constantly and is
only beginning to be challenged. Our
consciences are becoming tender in re-
gard to the lack of democracy in social
affairs.
The social organism has broken down
through large districts of our great
cities. Many of the people living there
are very poor, the majority of them
without leisure or energy for anything
but the gain of subsistence. They move
often from one wretched lodging to an
other. They live for the nsoment side
by side, many of them without knowl-
edge of each other, without fellowship,
without local tradition or public spirit,
without social organization of any kind.
Practically nothing is done to remedy
this. The people who might do it, who
have the social tact and training, the
large houses and the traditions of Gus
tom and hospitality, live in other parts
of the city. The clubhouses, libraries,
galleries and semipublic conveniences
for social life are also blocks away.
We find workingmen organized into
armies of producers because men of ex-
ecutive ability and business sagacity
have found it to their interests thus to
organize them. But these workingmen
are not organized socially; although liv-
ing in crowded tenement houses, they
are living without corresponding So
cial contact. The chaos is as great as it
would be were they working in huge
factories without foreman or superin-
tendent.
Their ideas and resources are cramped.
The desire for higher social pleasure is
extinct. They have no share i'll the
traditions and social energy which make
for orprogress. Too often their only place
of meeting is q saloon, their only host q
bartender; a local demagogue forms
their public opinion. Men of ability and
refinement, of social power and univer-
sity cultivation, stay away from them.
Personally 1 believe the men who lose
most are those who thus stay away. But
the paradox is here : When cultivated
people do stay away from a certain por-
ton of the population, when all social
advantages are persistently withheld, it
may be for years, the result itself is
pointed at as reason, is used as an ar
gument, for the continued withholding. |

quite familiar in the politics of Mis-

past, and was full of anecdotes and
witticisms, which kept the guests in
great laughter and merriment.

cups and saucers so small as to give one

were of course, but neither of them
would contain more than two table.

The Virginian became suspiciously
silent. He put the tiny spoon into the
tiny cup, removed it, replaced it and
finally leaned back in his chair as though
undetermined as to what was expected
Of him under the circumstances. He
was evidently nonplused. Under the
flight of his stony silence the conversa.

be strained when the Virginian turned

Byron's Daughter.

A pathetic little story about the igno-
rance of Lady Lovelace, Byron's only
daughter, of her fathers poems, which
we find in one of the volumes, has al
ready produced an explanation that
before her death she became a constant
student of them and conceived an in.
tense admiration of the father whom
she had been brought up to dislike.
Here is the story:
''She was i'll invalid for some time
prior to her death and seldom left the
house, though her three childrei-Lord
Ockham, Lord Wentworth and Lady
Anne-rode out daily on their ponies.
have been told by the medical lnan who
attended Lady Lovelace that lie had
from her own lips the astonishing state
ment that even after marriage a.Id u
to a comparatively late period of her
short life she had never read Il lile of
her fathers poems."
Little did poor Byron dream of such
flial dereliction when he wrote the
many tender passages scattered through
his works, and to which he doubtless
trusted to rehabilitate him in the esti-
nation of the child he loved SO dearly,
for surely those touching words, had
they met her eye, should have counter
acted any adverse impression made upon
her infant mimi by his calumniators.-

Ing.
To us, who,. hardly daring to speak Oh
breathe, watched the fearful venture,
its success appeared well nigh impos-
sible. The child could { perhaps be
snatched from the boat before reaching
the rapids. But what then? Neither
he nor his rescuer, we felt convinced.
could ever regain the shore.
The poor women-Lyons' wife and
Jimmy's m0ther-sobbed pitifully as we
all hurried down the edge of the river
SO as to keep abreast of the slziff. None
of us dared to encourage them by Il
hopeful word, for not one of us believed
that either would ever again be clasped
in the arms of husband or son.
The tiny scow was now quite SOC
yards from shore, and with gradually
accelerated motion was drawing fright.
fully near the rapids. But the pursuing
boat went four feet to its one and was
swiftly closing the gap between them.
The innocent babe had at last become
alarmed, and as Lyons drew near he
stretched his little arms imploringly
toward him-a sight which drove the
women nearly frantic and caused tear;
to roll down more than one manly
cheek.
'Oh, hush! hush! not word mol
cheer yet!' some one said in a choking
whisper as the two boats came together
"The fight is still to VIM
AS he ranged alongside Lyons pulled
in one oar, leaned over the gunwale,
caught up the child and lifted him into
his own boat. "Too late! Oh, too later
shrieked his agonized wife. And indeed
it so seemed to each one of us.
But then the noble fellow, cool as if
there was no danger within thousand
miles, reshipped his oar and did the only
one thing which could offer possible
chance for life. He did not vainly at
tempt to stem the current by rowing up
stream, nor even directly toward the
shore, but turned his bow quartering
down, and pulling with nerves of steal
and giant strength shot with arrowy
speed diagonally athwart the rivers
course, and in less than five minutes
landed safely at the head Of the channel
running between Streets island and the
mainland!
Then-but why go on? No language,
much less my poor pen, can adequately
describe the scene which followed.
This incident is matter of history, ]
presume, but may inform those who
now read of it for the first time that the
Royal Humane society of England soor
after sent to Mr.. Lyons its gold medal
in recognition of his daring deed-how
daring no one unacquainted with its
scene can realize.-W. Thompson in

An Interesting Island.

A curious discovery has been made on
the Island Of Kitaba, one of the Trobri-
and group, off the northeast coast Of
New Guinea. A great many sailors
passing this little island have imagined
that it had no inhabitants because they
saw no evidence of human occupation.
Sir William McGregor, the administr;:-
tor of British New Guinea, says the
island has an area of only five or six
square miles. On all sides it presents a
low and slightly sloping margin, usually
about quarter Of mile broad, covered
by heavy timber. Within is a precipi-
tous coral wall, which can be ascended
only at few places. The bank rises to
height Of 300 or 400 feet. Once at the
top the visitor finds within this wall a
plateau which occupies the whole of the
100 feet below the coral wall surround
ing it.
There about 1000 natives live and till
their gardens. The rich, chocolate col
ored soil yields them an ample supply of
food. They are completely protected
from the wind by the rocky rim that in
closes their plateau. On this elevated
and almost inaccessible plain are thir
teen villages, each OF which contains
over twenty houses. There are no inter-
tribal hostilities, and it is not possible
for the natives of other islands to op-
press the people, because on their pla-
teau, naturally fortified as it is, they are
inaccoccib1o to hostile triboc Tho drain
age Of the plateau is excellent. There
are great cavities in the coral wall
through which the rainfall filters and
makes its way to the Chicago
Times.
