Hamburg rooster that we once had.
He had no brothers or sisters. SO we
brought him into the house and fed
and petted him. When he grew older
he became very handsome, and was

We would dress him up in dolls

down to the floor. One day 1 was

and sat down on a ehair, with his feet
stretched out in front of him (the

Mama came into the room. he jumped
off the chair, gave loud crow, and
strutted ont of the room as though

When he rang the door-bell, Cockolo-

Mama heard the noise and came to

following tale 1t was when President
Porter was holding recitations in the
Athenaeum. In one Of the class diyis-
ions was young fellow active in ath-
letics who found it difficult to blend
proficiency in base ball with the 40
pages Of advance and review which
made up the normal days lesson in
Dr. Porter's bulky volume on Human
Intellect. Taking advantage of DR..
Porter's easy-going recitations, the
young fellow hit on the following de-
vice He divided the 40 pages into
eight sections of five pages each For
each section he prepared on answer,
usually based on suggestive line or
two, sometimes evolved purely from
inner consciousness. AT recitations
he simply watched Dr. Porter turn the
pages, basing his answer absolutely On
the number of pages turned From
pages to 10 meant answer No. >.
from pages % to 30 answer No. 6, and
SO on, not the slightest attention other
wise being paid to the question
The young pioneer in psychology, who
ratified off the answer with all the fiex-
ibility of speech aud earnestness he
could command, always met gracious
smile from DR.. Porter, and found sub
sequently by his audacity he had Sc
cured stand in psychology among
the first half dozen in the class. Years
after he met Dr. Porter and explained
the trick and tho result. The presi-
dent turned the thing prettily; "AIr.

It's an odd thing, but there are
number of people who have distinct
antipathy to the screech owl and can
not listen to single burst of its hill
arity without shuddering. The screeeh
owl is supposed by the negroes on
southern plantations to be in direct
communication with all the ghosts
and "giants" of the forests, He plays
a great part in the more wierd folk
lore story of the darkies. A funny
superstition in regard to the sereech
owl is that If you will take your shoe
or slipper off your left foot the first
time you hear an owl laugh and turn
the shoe sole upward on the floor and
place your stocking foot" on the
bottom of the shoes sole the owl will
stop laughing and fly for ten miles
without rest. - Cincinatti Times-Star.
