visits to the barn, and sometimes would
stay with her by the half hour.
Then the chicks came out of their
shells. Don was intensely interested.
All day long he scarcely left the barn.
The next morning, when the hen
stepped off the nest and with cluck
called her brood after her, Don fol-
lowed.
The hen fell to scratching, and the
fluffy chicks darted hither and thither,
picking up the titbits which the mother
had uncovered.
"Good.'' said Don to himself; II can
help in this business" and to the terror
OF the chickens he ran in among them
and began turning up the soil at lively
rate. Then he sat down and waited.
The mother hen called back the chicks
to the newly scratched earth, and soon
they picked it clean. Then the dog took
another turn. And so the good work
proceeded. 10 the great delight of all
the parties.

CATS AND WILDCATS.
Ferocious Felines That Make Havoc Among
Weaker Animals.


1t has taken about 90 years to pro-
duce the wild cats of Goat Island, the
degenerating process commencing
soon after the lighthouse was estab-
lished there in 1875. 1t seems that the
first keepers brought a number of cats
with them, but with unrestrained lib
erty the animals gradually forsook the
comforts of civilization. Goat Island is
the home of thousands of birds and
squirrels. and to this is probably due
the temptation of the cats to forsake the
keepers Preside. At first the cats would
absent themselves for days at time,
hut the kittens were born at home. In
time, however, they got over this. and
lived altogether in the underbrush.
After a few years the descendants OF
the first cats were so wild that they
were afraid of human beings and made
their dens in the crevices of the rocks.
From that time the cats became
wilder, until now they are as ferocious
as the terrible creatures of the noun
tains. They have increased in size and
changed altogether in disposition. They
are always seen in pairs and appear 10
mate, as all species of the cat tribe do
in the wild state. The cats live on squir-
rels, quail and sparrows, rs well as such
other small animals as they can catch
They are supplied with water from a
dozen springs in different parts of the
island.
In addition to other changes the wild
cats have become hostile to such tame
cats as are brought to the island from
time to time. They will attack them
on sight and never stop till they have
killed their victims.
The chief destruction wrought by
the wild eats is on the quail that inhabit
the island. The "artful drummers"
used to be there i'm abundance. but are
now pretty well thinncd out. The eats
are constantly on the alert, and not
only Kill every quail they can catch. but
often destroy whole nests full Of young.
To prevent this the lightkeepers are
always on the lookout for wild cats and
shoot every one that comes anywhere
near the house. AS a consequence the
cats keep some distance away. and the
quail seem to think they are safe in that
locality. for there are more nests there
than in any other part of the island
Many plans have been tried within
the last few years to rid the island of
the hungry, oarnivorous pests, but the
more they are prosecuted with shot
trap and poison, the more rapidly they
seem to multiply.-San Francisco Call.

FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
A pELEcTAeLE LAND.

Over the hills and far away
There are dreadful dragons that knights
may slay-
Great snorting dragons with brazen scales.
And wings OF leather, and coiling tails.
But II you're the proper kind OF knight.
With a suit OF mail and a sword that's
bright.
You may whip those dragons and win the
day,
over the hills and far away!
Over the hills and far away
There are ogres living In castles gray.
With horn to blow and the drawbridge
down.
And the ogres below. and stamp. and

But 1t doesn't do to be frightcned-no!
You must face them boldly and strike a
blow,
And then you marry the Princess May.
Over the hills and far away!
Over the hills and far away
There are fairy monarchs in grand array,
With gnomes, and pixies. and brownies,
too;
And my! the marvellous things they dol
But though they startle you just bit.
They will help a lad who is sharp of wit.
And it's fun to watch when they dance and
play
Over the hills and far away!
over the hills and far away
You may have an excellent time, l say.
There are golden islands and magic springs
And jabberwockies-and heaps of things!
You can't be dull in q land like that,
With enchanted boots and a talking cat,
So is IL wonder you long to stray
over the hills and far away?

CHICKEN AND CANARY.
A Firm Friendship That Was Begun in .
singular Way.

singular Way.
One day last spring, in purchasing
lot of fowls from her marketman, a
lady in Nashville, Tenn, got one little
bit of chicken that was almost too
small to eat, and which made its escape
through the wires of the coop and began
to chirp ard cry about the yard. The
lady made no effort to recapture the
little thing. thinking it would be better
of running free about the place. BUTT
soon became evident that the chick had
been too soon taken from parental care
and was totally unable to provide tor
itself. Two whole days passed, during
W hich il neither ate nor drank, though
the lady tried every means in her power
to provide for its welfare. The chicken
simply peeped and dropped till the lady
gave up all efforts and left the little
thing to die, which no doubt it would
have done right speedily had it not been
rescued in the following singular man
ner:
1t CHANGED that the lady has pet
canary of which she is very fond ana
to which she devotes much care and at
tention. For instance, it is her invari-
able custom in mild weather TO turn
the bird out of his cage for a certain
portion of each day, letting him have
his bath in sunny spot on the BACK
porch So that morning when the llttle
chicken was so nearly giving up ms
life for lack of food and comfort, il hap
pcned that the canary was turned out OF
his cage for his hour of freedom in the
sunshine. The lady was watching 10
see that no cats came around, and pres
emily she saw the canary trip down the
steps to the lawn, where the litt'e
chicken was crying. For moment the
two little feathered things stood ana
looked at each other inquiringly. Then
the bird chirped and made dab with
its beak. The chicken chirped ana
made dab. too, and pretty soon the
two were chirping and dabbing away
nightly. What the chirps and dabs
meant of course we may not know, but
presently the bird came hopping up the
steps, the chicken following behind
Making his way to the cage. which sat
open on the floor, the bird went in,
chirping and dabbing all the while.
with the chicken following after, and
presently the two little friends were
eating and drinking together.
That was the beginning of the singu-
lar friendship, which continues still un-
abated. The chicken stayed in the birds
cage with him till it was too large TO
get in the door, and then roost was
placed for il close to the cage hook, so
that they might be near each other at
night. 1t is no uncommon sight to see
the canary throwing seeds down from
his cage to the chicken, and IL the
chicken finds worm he brings it in the
house and chirps under the cage till the
lady lets the bird out when the friends
enjoy the feast Observation-Disclosures

theirs old shotgun double loaded, the
wary old owl didn't come near. Sandy's
father said he smellcd the gun.
''I'll get him yet" said Sandy, with
determination.
That very afternoon n bright plan
popped into Sandy's head. He cut long
pole in the woods. sawed off the top
square and smooth. nailed board on
it, and set it up firmly in corner OF the
fence near the barn. On top of 1t he
placed a steel rat trap, already set, and
fastened by long chain to the post be-
low.
Next morning he was awakened by a
terrific commotion in the chicken yard.
He rushed outside, and there was Mr.
Owl flying wildly about with the trap
close fastened to one of his feet. He
had come along early, and thinking that
the post was an excellent place to light
while he picked out the best pullet in the
flock, he had stopped there to rest. In
u minute Sandy was pulling him down,
and although he scratched and fought
Sandy succeeded in conquering him. He
was huge horned owl, and the next
week. when Sandy went to town, he
took him along, and dealer in stuffed
birds told him that it was the finest
specimen of an owl he had ever seen.
Sandy, being of practical turn of
mind offered on the spot tc sell the big
bird. The dealer promptly gave him
four dollars for it, and Sandy at once
paid it over to the man who had rifles to
sell.
81 hope some more big owls will come
along and steal my chickens. he said
to himself on his way home. They're
more profitable than pullets. Chicago

SANDY BROWNS OWL.
Caught by Means of Very Cieverly Con-
structed Trap.

Caught by Means OF u Very Cieverly Con-
structed Trap.
Some one was stealing Sandy Browns
chickens. Every morning when Sandy
went out to scatter screenings there was
at least one of the younger ROSTERS or
hens missing, usually the very latest
and finest of the flock. Sandy couldn't
understand at all where they went to.
He knew every man in the neighbor-
hood, and every chicken, too, for that
matter, and he knew that some stranger
must be guilty of the thieveries. Now,
i. was no small matter to Sandy to have
his plump pullets stolen. for he was only
{, boy, and he was depending on the
money that the eggs and chickens
would bring him to help pay for GER
tain handsome little rifle that he longed
to possess. So he determined to watch
and see if he couldn't catch the thief.
Before daylight the next morning he
was up and out, hiding in the corncrib,
where he could see and not be seen.
Not long afterward the chickens came
clucking into the barnyard. For time
everything was quiet. and then the old
red-top rooster Strengthened up and be-
gan to grumble and turn his head from
side to side and blink his eyes. There
was n sound of wings in the air. and n
huge bird lighted on the corner of the
barn. The next instant the chickens
began flying about and clucking ex-
citedly, and then, before Sandy could
open his mouth to shout, the owl, for
an owl it was, darted down. and Sandy
saw one of his fayorite pullets carried
away over the HILL $50 you're the
thief" exclaimed Sandy. "I'll fix YOU"

What 16 to 1 Has Never Done.

1t has never kept gold and silver at
parity.
1t has never once given us, under free
coinage, practical bimetallism-that is,
the concurrent circulation of gold and
silver.
The ratio of sixteen to one was
adopted in 1884. It represented the
then commercial ratio, the market val
ues of the two metals.
In the 40 years following the adoption
of this ratio and up 10 1874 there were
coined less than 100000 silver dol
lars, or not so many by 100000 as were
coined from January to July in thia
year.
And never during the whole period
did gold and silver circulate freely to-
gether as equal money. What reason has
Mr.. Bryan for his "irm conviction"
that they will do SO now under free
coinage, when the difference.in the COM
merical ratio is far greater than at any
time during the period from 1884 70
1873?

A Bad Old Humbug.

The Denver Republican calls for more
money as the cure-all for the peoples
woes. "They must" it says, "go back
to the good old American policy Of BIZ
metallism, under which the country en-
ioyed such extraordinary prosperity
from 1902 until the complete demoneti-
zation of silver" Oh, those "good old
days." when less than 100000 silver
dollars were coined in the 81 years
from 1892 to 1s73.less than in the first
six months of the present year-and
when no man ever saw silver dollar
except as curiosity! Never once in all
this time did the country have as much
money per capita as it now has. Never
once, except during the war, were
wages so high and prices so satisfactory
as in the 70 years following the resump-
tion of specie (goldD payments in 1873.
The talk of good old times" is simply
bad old humbug
