THE CHAPARRAL COCK.
How the Fierce Looking Bird Destroys
the Rattlesnake.

How the Fierce Looking Bird Destroys
the Rattlesnske.
From the New York Sun.
Paisano. or countryman bird, ground
cuckoo, and road runner. are local names
for the chaparral cock of the far south
western states and territories. This
alert, ierce-looking bird, with body Of
about the size Of bantam rooster, has
strong bill three or four inches long and
long powerful legs and feet. 1t is of q
notified color, with long pheasant-l ike
tail. It starts Unexpectedly from the
mesquite or chaparral that border the
lonely trail and runs swiftly in advance
OF the traveller, never leaving the road in
its running, and easily distancing his
horse.
This bird, with, 80 far as known, no
Objectionable traits. has some habits
that commend it to humanity; it eagerly
hunts and eats centipedes and scorpions,
and it follows and destroys the rattle
snake by method peculiarly it's own.
Waiting it's time until it can catch the
reptile asleep in its coil, the road.runner
drags branches Of dry cactus to it so az
completely to surround the snake with a
thorny, impossible circle. Then the bird
stirs up the serpent by rolling piece OF
cactus upon it or pelting it with sticks
and pebbles. The aroused reptile, I'M
able to pass the thorny barrier, turns
at last In blind yage to strike. it's fangs
into itself and die OF its own venom,
while its tormentor dances about it with
every demonstration Of exultation.

WHAT A hABY DID.

Here is rather pretty story, which is

into serious difficulties and then made

three pieces, which did not observe I'M
til got home. at once put on my bon
net and was going back to my employers
to return them when l was arrested.
This is the solemn truth, as l hope for

The court could not believe this story.
They upbrsided the mother for her impu-
dence in endeavoring 10 palm of such Q
falsehood for the truth. But che 60 per-
tinaciouely asserted her innocence that q
novel experiment was made in her favor
One OF the officials proposed to renew the
scene described by the mother. The
gold coin was placed on the clerks table,
The mother was requested to resume the
position in which she stood at her en-
ployer's house. There was then breath
less pause in court. The baby soon dis
covered the bright coins, eyed them q
moment, smiled, and then clutched
them in its fingers with mieer's eager
ness. The mother was at once acquitted.
