BIRD reasoning.

A little known and striking instance
of foresight and industry exhibited by
bird is that of the California wood
pecker. Like others of its kind this
bird is an insect cater. Yet. in view
of the approach of winter, it prepares
a store of food of a wholly different
character and arranges this with as
much care as an epicure might devote
to the storage of his wine in cellar.
In the summer the woodpecker lives
on ants For the winter he stores up
acorns- To hold each acorn it hollo VS.

Babies. Right Of Way.

One of the pleasantest fea lures of
New York's uptown residence avenues
is the large number of rosy checked
babies who are trundled up ana down
the sidewa ks when the sun shines
brightly. After, however. one has
been forced into the gutter half a
dozen times in as many blocks by
nurse girls who persist in pushing
baby carriages two or three abreast,
he is apt to wish the babies were less
numerous or their nurses more mind
full of the rights of pedestrians

YOU ARE A LIAR.

Jules Soule, through the columns
Of the Alliance Courier, devotes
considerable space to an attack
upon the editor of the ARDMORE-
ITE.
All have to say relative to this
Dago cur, is that he is an unmiti-
gated liar, villain, and a cross be-
twee a he cayote and a female
canine.
The charge that 1 owe money
which refuse to pay is as base
lie as is the brain that gave utter
ance to the thought. That I owe
some just debts-every cent of
which propose to pay-I do not
deny; but if it be a crime to be in
debt, what would become of this
pusillanimous Soule7 A prison
garb would be his.
We are prepared to show that
this barnacle on society left behind
him in Montague and Wise cOun.
ties, Texas, a reputation so stink
ing that he was, by his own admis-
sion, chased out Of Bellview by an
enraged mob.
What about a marble cutter then
living at Bowie, whom he beat out
of $5f What about the widow
lady in Ardmore whom he beat
out of a board bill 2 What about
the hard-workiug negro whose
hard-earned wages of Sc he repu-
diated.
There are gentlemen Of high
standing living in this city who
know, and when necessary, will
contribute their knowledge of this
beasts reputation.
The people of Bowie, Montague,
Bellview and other towns in Wise
county who know him to their
sorrow will be heard from in un-
mistakable terms.
I-regret that it has become nee.
essary for me to inf1ict upon the
readers of the ARDMoREITE this
expose of even such a scoundrel
as Jules Soule, but think the
emergency will be apparent to
every one, and that no apology
will be required.
I desire to say in reiteration of
the above sentiments that / am
here to answer to, and as rapidly
as possible, pay every cent which
] honestly owe, and | believe that
is more than he can say. In say
ing to the contrary, SOule, you are
a liar that would put Annanias to
shame; you are a cur that would
cause a hound to tuck his tail and
weep at the disgrace you have
heaped upon him by belonging to
his species; and if anything de-
grading or infamous has been left
unsaid which could insult, just con-
slider it said, and hold me respon-
sible for its utterance.

Miss Maxey was q quick reader Of
faces, and of his face in particular. She
stopped kim at the door and said shyly,
but determinedly:
"You have some good news for us,
but you are so afraid that we shall be
disappointed that you hesitate to tell it,"
"No, said Lamar, "but / think l
have located her disorder However, 1
am not an authority in this matter. l
shall bring some friends here, with your
leave, this afternoon.
He smiled so pleasantly to himself
that Ellen was delighted.
Surely, if this be true, you will know
Just what to do to euro her?'
Cure? said nothing about curing.
No. 1t is necessarily fatal in its re-
suits.
She flashed one look of horror and in
dignation into his face and turned away
without word. Poor Dr. Lamar forgot
to smile on his way to the street. But q
moment before he had felt glow of pro-
fessional pride in what he ventured to
hope was the success of daring dag
noSis. As he emerged into the sunlight
an intimate friend might have thought,
from his crestfallen expression, that he
had met with a severe defeat
However, this did not prevent him
from calling ON some of his fellow ply
sicians and that afternoon q council of
grave and dignifled men stood around
the bedside Of poor Annette. If it had
cost the artist anything, that little con-
sultation in the back sitting room would
have proved an expensive luxury But
fortunately for him DR.. Lamar was his
friend, and there was sufficient interest
in the case to make these wise and high
ly paid individuals in black coats think
it worth their while to have hand in
it for their own information.
While they were present the artist
and his sister were excluded from the
room. When the meeting was over, La
mar called them i'll. They found the
physician rubbing his hands III a state
Of unmistakable elation. In fact, his
spirits were so high that they somewhat
obscurcd his vision. He did not seem to
notice Miss MaXey's presence, and when
Julian asked him how the case stood he
burst out with an enthusiasm which
would have done credit to the artist
himself
II was right! Twas right They have
agreed with me exactlyW
Miss Maxey suddenly burst into tears
and left the room.
"She is overjoyed!" cried Maxey.
Unfortunately, no." said the ply
sician, biting his lip in vexation 'I
ought to have known better. told her

this morning that if my diagnosis was
correct the disease was necessarily fatal.
You must tell her. Maxey, that l made
mistake. l Thought so at the time, but
l find l was mistaken. There is one
chance in thousand that by submitting
to dangerous operation which will be
very likely to either kill or cure her the
patient will recover Without that oper-
alton she is doomed to suffering and
death"
"What an alternative" cried Maxey,
aghast.
II am sorry it is not in my power to
offer you better one, butin the present
state Of science ] cannot There is q re-
lentless substance, no bigger than the
end Of my little finger, remorselessly
eating its way into her brain. If it is al
lowed to go on unchecked, it will do its
fatal work. The only way to check it is
to remove it, That is rare and danger

in old books, such as Sir Ashley Cooper's
compilations Of 80 years ago, but so
rarely resorted to in practice that 1 did

land. There is scarcely precedent to
that operation. Now you understand the
case. It remains for you to say whether
the patient shall 90 to the hospital and
he oIc-aSvd upon or remain here and
die"
"Wonld the operation, if successful,
restore her to her mind and memory"
questioned Maxey eagerly.
''It does not follow at all. The very
matter that has confused and bafled all
our calculations so long is the complex
ity Of the symptoms. Beside the epilepti-
form symptoms arising from the tumor,
which, by the way, must have been well
along in its dangerous work before the
accident at the beach road, there are the
psychical results Of n curious mental
disturbance. Perhaps the mental trou-
bic was the consequence Of the fright
and would have been soon conquered but
for the work of the tumor, All this is
conjecture. The possible result remains
to be seen. Shall l go on or not:"
Two hours later Maxey gave his reply:

The OLD Brussels CARPET:
Oh, dear to our hearts are the sad days of
springtime.
When the annual housekeeping recurs
to our view.
When we sleep on the sofa and eat off the
mantel,
In an atmosphere strongly suggestive of
glue.
We think of the stovepipe, the SCOT that
came with it,
Likewise the profanity, fluent and fine;
But saddest and bitterest of all recollectons
Is the dusty old carpet that hung on the
liue!
Oh, that dusty old carpet,
That rusty old carpet,
That musty old carpet,
That hung on the line
We remember how, armed with little
hagelator,
in the morning we blithely advanced to
the fray,
In the muscular pride Of our heart little
dreaming
That cleaning that carpet would take the
whole day.
We sweat and we swore, and our hands
badly blistered,
While The sun lent his countenance
warmly benign;
But the harder we pounded the more it
was needed
By that dusty old carpet that hung on
the line
Oh, that dusty old carpet,
Taat musty old carpet,
That cussety old carpet,
That hung on the line
