ROBBED BY PARROTS.
These Birds Play 8 Part In Shaping the
 Destiny of America.

Destiny of America
 A flight of birds, coupled with sail or's superstition, robbed Columbus of the honor of discovering the continent It is curious but historical fact. When Columbus sailed westward over the un- known Atlantic, he expected to reach Zipangu, Japan. After several days sail from Gomera, one of the Canary is- lands. he became uneasy at not discoY- ering Zipangu, which,, according to his reckoning, should have been 2I6 nau- tical miles more to tho east
 After long discussion he yielded to the opinion of Martin Alonzo Pinzon, the commander Of the Pinta, and steered to the southwest. Pinzon was guided in his opinion solely by flight of parrots, which took wing i'll that direction. It was good luck to follow in the wake of a flight Of birds when engaged upon a voyage of discovery-a widespread su- perstition among Spanish seamen of that day-and this change in tho great navigator s course euriously exemplifies the influence of small and apparently trivial events in the worlds history.
 If Columbus had held to his course, he would have entered the gulf stream, have reached Florida and then probably have been carried to Cape Hatteras and Virginia. Tho result would probably have given the present United States a Roman Catholic Spanish population in- stead of Protestant English one, a cir eumstance of imneasurable importance
 Never, wrote Humboldt, had the flight of birds more important oonse- quences. "-Current Literature.

The Chicago Times Herald has the
following editorial which is of par
ticular interest here, as Rock Island

when it comes to erecting a court
house in keeping with the spirit OF
the times:
Perhaps there is no more striking
evidence Of the boundless resources
and matchless prosperity of the ives.
tern and middle states than, is af.
forded by the magnificent and costly
architecture that has characterized
the court house construction in the
various counties. Hardly a month
passes that a costly court house is
not dedicated in some county in Ill
inois, Iowa, Wisconsin or Indiana.
These splendid piles of stone and
brick are not only evidences Of ma
terial wealth. but they quite often
exemplify the highest ideals of noble
structural design and ornate mural
establishment. They also show an
intelligent adaptability to the re-
quirements of the county's business,
and there is commendable DISPOSE
ton to consider the elements of per-
manency and solidity.
"These structures are not only the
repositories of the county records,
but they are temples OF Justice,
whittier come the agricultural liti-
giants to settle their disputations
which enrich the country lawyers
and give them regulations that
sometimes lift them into the halls Of
legislation, or, perchance, into the
gubernatorial chair.
The style.
"These court houses are nearly all
built alter the Romanesque style of
architecture, surmounted by impos-
ing square towers. A few counties
have set the pace at the quarter mil
lion dollar mark, and hereafter every
county that erccts a new court house
will hardly be willing to 20 below
that figure. 1t is also fact that the
Worlds fair gave an impetus to Or
nate architecture that is manifesting
itself to marked degree in public
buildings Of all classes. Time was
when many counties in Illinois and
Indiana were content to commit their
valuable records to old. abandoned
meeting houses and other architec-
tural makeshifts. But today the
thrifty farmers of the common
wealths make their pilgrimagcs to
the county seat and pay their taxes
and have their deeds recorded in
handsome ediiices OF stone, marble
and iron. whose architectural pro-
portions typify the dignity. solidity
and wealth of the agricultural COM
munities."

jovial organization it must be. The
first annual camp begins with pleas
ant auspices. The time for pulling
stakes is, left for the majority of the
party to decide. and there is no ques-
ton but what a few moons will elapse
before the break up occurs-but Just
SO the snow don't catch them.
Provision and other materials
loaded down a large wagon this
morning. aud it goes without saying
that the Outing clubs initial will be
q delightful one.

The occurrences Of the previous day
had been blotted from the memory OF
Reuben Tires when he greeted his
nephew on the following morning and
cheerily bade him prepare to accom-
pany him to the scene of the great
race, since he wished his dear George
to witness his triumph over the bla-
tant Springer. Van Spoke obeyed the
command. by ten o'clock the two
were spinning to the scene of the con-
test.
They reached the starting point at
Speckled Trout inn some minutes be
fore the time agreed upon. The other
contestant, with number Of his grand
children, was already on the ground,
as were several neighbors, who were
to act as referees and officers The con-
ditions were amicably settled-two
miles straightaway, on n bet of one
hundred dollars; the older Of the rae.
ers to have n minute start.
A boy arrived to announce that the
judges were at their post at the end Of
the course. All was in readiness.
George held his uncle's sweater when
the time came for the old man to go to
the mark. The signal was given and
away went Mr.. Springer. his venera-
BILE head bent low over the handle bar,
hidden from view by his back,
which was raised like the hump of a
camel. A minute. Then off shot Reu-
ben Tires, his eyes fixed on the ground
just ahead, every muscle and nerve
strained for the trial to come.
The others followed, pedaling their
fastest to keep the racers in view. Van
Spoke took the lead, and soon left them
far behind. With beating heart he spun
along, striving to keep in sight of his
uncle. He could see his red jersey
plainly. Tires was gaining. Then the
old man disappeared over the brow OF
little hill. Harder and harder Van
Spoke pedaled on.
They were in view again, spinning
along the level stretch below MIN.
They We're abreast now, tire to tire,
putting forth superhuman efforts.
Slowly but surely the red jersey was
going ahead of the blue and white. A
thrill Of family pride shot through Van
Spoke, for his uncle was leading by
two lengths, when the contestants dis
appeared over the brow of the next hill.
Tires was leading; Tires would win.
In the citation of the moment George
forgot his treacherous scheme of the
night before. Then it came back tc
him with the thought Of what might
have been. But all was we'll. His uncle
was on a peerless buster. With light
ened heart the young man pedaled on
striving to be in sight Of the finish, just
beyond the next hill.
Fast and furious he flew up the long
incline, over the brow. He looked
ahead. There was the blue and white
alone, just crossing the finish line
And at the foot of the long slope he
saw a girls figure bending over some
thing. He sped on and in moment
was at the fateful gutter Bleeding
and unconscious. his limbs entanglet
in the wreck of his wheel, lay Reuber
Tires. Bending over him, untwistinl
the spokes from his legs. was Ethe
Wheeling. Her Whizzer was leaning
against the fence.
