Mr.. c.. B. Smith. secretary Of the

the cage door was opened n the fe-
male bird escaped. She did not desire
to take one bird with her. and she left
the male bird in the cage at Mr.,
Smiths. says the Savannah News.
The other morning, as Mrs. Smith
was in the room where the cage con
tanning the single bird was. another
lird flew through the open window
and began circling around the room
and finally perched itselfnear the cage.
Mrs. Smith looked att attentively, ana
then said to her servant, who stood
near by. that this was the bird hal HAD
flown off some months before. The
servant was incredulOus, but Mrs.
Smith went up to the strange bird ard
held out her hand. With a little Gut-

opened the cage and the bird hoppel

George Manville Brown was born
in Otsego, New York, ON the 9th of
January, 1918. He lived on a farm
until he was Is years old. At that
time his parents moved out to the
western part of the State and he went
to live with a brother, supporting
himself and attending school. His
school work was prosecuted with such
vigor and success that at the early
age of II he became teacher. an
avocation which he followed for up
wards of 80 years. Ia 1857 he left
New York and came to Kansas, To-
eating i'm Geneva township, this
county, where for ten years he farm
ed the land now occupied by Mr.. o..
B. Miller. In 1861 he was elected
Register of Deeds and removed to
lola which has ever since been his
home. He held the Office for four
years, and then, after vacation of
two years, he was again elected and
served for four years more. Since re-
firing from office the last time he has
not been actively engaged in business,
but has devoted his time to manag-
ing the property he had acquired.
Mr.. Brown was married, at the age of
%, to Miss Caroline Griswold, in Bath,
n. Y, who still survives although for
some years past in feeble health.
Five children have sprung from this
union, of whom but two, Mrs. ID. ID.
Spicer, of Geneva, and Miss Flora
Brown are still living. Mr.. Brown
has been a staunch Republican ever
since the party was organized, and is
faithful member of the Presbyterian
church.
1t is as rare as it is pleasant to meet
a man in the SIND year of his age
who bears his years so lightly and
who is so hale and hearty, both in
mind and body. The picture which
accompanies this sketch was made
from a Photograph taken several
years ago, and yet it would need but
little change to represent him as he is
now. His step is that of much
younger man and his mind is alert
and clear, and his memory, especially
for poetry which he can quote for
hours on end, isseemingly unimpaired.
During all his long life Mr.. Brown
has been an honest man and a good
citizen, and he has his reward now in

SAMPLE COPIES.

j. is the custom of the REGISTER to
send out sample copies now and then.
and we wish to say to all to whom
such copies may come that they need
not fear to take them from the post
office. We send them merely to let
those who are not subscribers see
what the paper is, in the hope that
they may be induced to take it regu-
larly, not to force the paper on them.
Nobody will ever be asked TO pay for
a copy of this paper unless he has or
deIed it sent to him.
