FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
The NOBODY MAN.

I walked one day. long. long way.
Down to Topsy-Turvy Town.
Where It's day oil night. and it's night all
day
In the Land of Upside Down. *
Imagine II II you can:
In the land or Upside Down found
The Nobody Man!
His he ad was bowed. and he groaned aloud.
With the burden that he bore:
Misdecds and mishaps. a wonderful crowd,
"And why are you so heavily tasked,
On such an unequal plan?"
AS sat on wayside seat. 1 asked
The Nobody Man.
He sat him nigh with a doleful sigh,
And he said: "It needs must be;
What Nobody does at home 80 sly
Is shouldered here by me.
The slips and mishaps that are, soon or
late,
Denied by the careless clan.
In the Land OF Upside Down all weight
The Nobody Man"
He passed along with doleful song.
This overburdened wight,
And. bowed with the weight of other folks
wrong.
He hobbled out OF sight:
And don't understand how 1t all can be,
Or why he should bear this ban.
But-well, twas a wonderful thing TO see
The Nobody Man!

stricken. That night I was free of
| them.
THE next evening, however, the
habit of returning there to roost was
stronger than fear, and they began
coming in by thousands as soon as the
evening approached. After dark 1 be-
gun with another volley of candles, and
the birds began to realize that there
was undetermined bombardmentin prog
ress. They fled precipitately, and the
third evening only few returned. A
few last shots put them to fight, and l
was troubled no more.
but what do you think those birds
did? My dividing fence runs between
the trees on my property and the trees
on the property Of my neighbor, which
ere equally high and suitable for a
home for the blackbirds. When the
the birds were driven from my lot they
few over across the dividing fence to
the trees of my neighbor and settled.
There was no bombardment.o over there,
and they stayed there ever since.
This was n long time ago, but never
since the last Roman candle was fired
into them has one of those birds settled
ON one of my trees. They are 'tabooed'
us effectually as though they were on
fire. The great clouds of birds each
morning and evening fly directly over
my trees, going and coming, but not a
bird settles upon tree that is on my
side of the dividing fence.
Another strange thing is that il any
one of an evening stands in my lawn
and makes a slight noise, as slapping
his hands, there will be the widest COM
motion among the birds in the neigh
boring trees. They become restless
and almost panic-stricken. If, however,
the same person crosses the fence and
stands directly under them and makes
twice as much noise, they pay no atten-
ton whatever TO him. lie can even
shoot up into them without driving
them from their perches.
~ have wondered several times just
what impression those birds have of me
and my property that they have so de-
cidetlly given me the cold shoulder.
They know every tree that is on the
other side of the fence within few feet
Of the dividing line. OF course, have
rot bothered them over there, as they
we're not my guests."-Indianapolis

Gen. Lew Wallace Tells y Good Story
of Their Sagaoity.
Gen. Lew Wallace related an incident
which shows to O remarkable extent
the wonderful sagacity and memory of
blackbirds.
AT my home over in Charlottesville,
said the general, 1--WE have large num-
Der of tall trees on the lawn, and in the
course of time these trees became the
roosting place ut certain times of the
year for hundreds of thousands of
blackbirds. They came in great, black
clouds, and in spite of all l could do
they refused to leave. OF course, they
were a great nuisance, and was in de-
spair as to some means of getting clear
of them. stood for days with my gun
firing into them of an evening and kill
ing hundreds of them, but the rest did
not seem to be sufficiently struck by
fear or grief to want to part company
with me and my hospitality. l then
devised new scheme.
Procuring a number of Roman can
dies one evening / lighted them one by
one after dark, when the boughs of the
trees were bent low with the weight of
the croaking birds, and 1 poured the
candles into the tops of the trees at a
great rate. The sudden innovation
startled the birds as nothing had ever
done before, and they became panic

NAB PLAYING MONKEY"

Grandmother Allen began to fidget, and
wonder what had become Of those pre-
cious little dears. At first Dots num-
ma only laughed, saying:
"They will be here in little while,
bright as a new penny"
But when three o'clock saw them still
away, she too, grew uneasy, and went
to search for them.
So did Uncle Ned, but he chose an
other way. Somehow, he remembered
Dots face as he saw it last. 1T would
be just like her; she is the most orig
inal little morsel!" he muttered, as he
took his way along the shady streets
to big hotel much frequented by SUM
mer visitors.
About the same time Dot was say
mig little tearfully: Its your fault,
Nab; you're too big. Nobody won't
believe you're my monkey when tell
them so. And you don't hold your
cap out right; you drop it as soon as
they don't put things in it. You ought
to keep holding it till they were sorry
and gave you something"
"My arm gets tired. I'm hungry.
want to go home. We have got
the five cents Cousin Anna gave us
when she met us as we started" Nab
whined disconsolately, tugging at the
string that bound her to Dots arm.
bah! old cry facet" Dot said, with
dignity. II want to get enough pen
MES, so we can have ice cream soda and
some pep'mints. Come! we'll try this
place. 1t looks nice and big, with heaps
of people on the porch"
II want mamma" Nab said, discon-
solately, but followed Dot up the piazza
steps obediently, holding out her red
fez, while Dot turned the crank of her
music box so vigorously that no sound
of any sort came from it. People be-
gan to stare at them. One young woni-
an bent and kissed Mab's hot cheek,
saying: You poor little angel! Have
you got nobody belonging to YOU"
Nab did not answer; her eyes were
fast on some one coming up the steps.
With one bound she broke from Dots
hold, and flung herself tempestuously
into Uncle Ned's arms, crying out:
"Uncle Ned! / want to go home.
won't ever be Dots monkey any more"
mo, you shall be mine," Uncle Ned
said, swinging her upon his shoulder
and walking away in triumph.--Out,

DOTS ADVENTURE.
In Ono Way It Was Not Howling suo-

In One Way lt was NOT Howling sue
cess, In Another It Was.
Uncle Ned was really to blame for II,
though he had not the least thought
Of such a thing when he said to Dot,
as she came up with her round music
box under her arm;
Hello, little Dago! Where's your
monkey?"
Now, Dot lives in the city winters,
and knows all about the organ men
and their queer little beasts. She comes
with mamma in summer to the biggest
country town in which mamma herself
was little girl. She had always
thought it would be fine thing to have
an organ and go about the streets gath
ering pennies. AS Uncle Ned saun-
tered off she grew very thoughtful.
Then her face frightened. She ran
down the garden calling excitedly to
her little sister:
"Mab! Nab. / want you! Aunt
Sarah said yesterday you were one per-
feet monkey"
Dot was just turned five, and Nab
three, but the two were almost of q
size, since Dot was n mere mite, and
Nab deliciously chubby. When lunch.

Coffee Making.

Many persons who are unable to
drink coffee that has been boiled or
made by putting the coffee directly in
boiling water and cooking at or above
the boiling point for a certain number
of minutes, are able to drink without
any disagreeable consequences, either
present or future, coffee made by per-
collation., that is, by inclosing the
coffee in bag of some kind or in a
wire gauze strainer and pouring the
boiling water upon it. This method Of
coffee-making should always be used in
households where the members break
fast ut different hours, and where only
one pot of coffee is made. In France,
where chicory is often added to the
coffee, percolated or drip" coffee that
is quite strong is often made and
tightly bottled or sealed so that it's
aroma cannot escape and kept in a
cool place for several days. AS 1t 10
wanted it is heated and served with
hot milk, and, IL you want il absolutely
perfect, heat your cup also. Percolated
coffee is considered more economical
than boiled.-N. Y. Post

were great friends. Curley was n
house-dog, and Dutch u watchdog,
who was chained to kennel. CurIey
was very fond of Dutch, and would

friends kennel. One morning Curley
came into the house whining. The
family went out to the kennel and found
Dutch was dead. He was buried in the
garden, and Curley for long time
carried bones to his grave.

QUARRELED OVER A CROP.
Ben Ramey and Duke Bulger Figure
in Shooting Scrape on Law
renee Greek.

Ben Ramey was shot and wounded late
last evening at his home near the Chris
tian Church on Lawrence Greek by Duke
Bulger.
One ball struck Ramey lin the nose,
and did not inflict very serious wound.
The other entered just below the ribs on
the left side, and lodged somewhere in
the back Whether the wound is very
dangerous one or not is not known, as no
physician was summoned by Ramey I'M
til this morning, and the result of the ex-
animation has not been learned.
Ramey is regarded as one of the best
and most industrious colored citizens OF
that neighborhood. Bulger is a young
colored man, aged about twenty, IN
formerly lived in this city. He and his
mother have been livinglwith Ramey a
year or so.
The shooting was the result of quar-
rel between the two men, Overt a crop
they were raising. Ramey claims Bulger
had threatened several times that he
would kill him. Last evening Bulger
wanted Ramey to settle the matter by
paying for the work he had done. He
claims Ramey started to get his gun, and
that he then shot. Ramey claims the
shooting was without provocation.
Deputy Sheriff Perrine arrested Bulger
shortly after the shooting and jailed him.
The examining trial is set for 2 o'clock
before Squire Bramel.

LEXINGTON, KY, June 15.-Hannibal
Buchignani has completed the construc-
ton OF the smallest triple bicycle in the
world, task which twenty-five of the
best cycle factories in this country re-
fused to attempt, each stating that the
labor was too great. The frame of the
wheel is five feet long and seventeen
inches tall, while the wheels are but
twenty-four inches in diameter. Buchig-
mani manufactured every portion of the
machine except the wheels, which he
purchased at the factory. He has worked
steadily on it at night for the past six
months. The wheel will be ridden by
his three sons, John, Hugo and Leo,
aged respectively I, and 8 years.
