Bridget succeeded in grasping a frag-

was still paramount.
Carried on shore, soothing voices
and succoring hands were soon around

with what strength remained in her:

A TALKING ROyIN.
In Captivity 1t Has Learned Speech
AZ We'll az q Parrot

In Captivity 1t Has Learned Speech
AZ We:l AN q Parrot.
About a year ago a robins nest was
broken UP in tic nc;gnDorhood Of No.
IS Wooster street. and Of the young
birds fell from the nest to the ground.
1t was toe young to fly. and was at the
mercy of cats, dogs. boys and other
mortal enemies of birds. when Miss
Edith Bartlett came to its rescue and
took the bird into her house. 1t was
provided with comfortable quarters in
a cage, and the family became so at
tached to it that when 1t reached the
flying age it was decided to keep 1t for
a Eet rather than to turn it out in the
cold, unfeeling world in the dry season
when worms are scarce.
The bird showed remarkable intelli.
gence, and apparently took an interest
in what was going on in the family.
When the window swere open in. the
fall til erobin began to initiate the
notes Of the birds outside and the
whistle of the boys. Miss Bartlett be-
gan to teach the bird certain whistles,
and it became an adept. It was then
given lessons in speech, and nov has
mastered the phrase, Hurry up! hurry
up" which it enunciates with quite as
much distinctness as a parrot or other
talking bird. 1t continues to pick up
new styles of whistling and initiates
other birds by the hour.-Hartford
Post.

WHILE YOU WAIT.
Some Minor Indications of the Hust-
ling Spirit Of the Age.

Some Minor Indications of the Hust-
ling Spirit of the Age.
"Block your hat while you watt" was
the first of the while you wait" signs;
it was once familiar; it is now not so
often seen, says the New York Sun.
Then came the sign: "Your shoes re-
paired while you wait" The first OF
these signs appeared in the Bowery.
Two expert workmen sat in the Win
dow of the shoemaker's shop, working
busily. More men at work were seen
inside. There were comfortable chars
for waiting customers, and newspapers
fo- them to read. The shop filed Il long
felt want. There is now a considerable
number of places in the city where
shoes are mended while you wait. On
the signs Of some Of them a schedule
Of time required is given; so many min
utes for heeling and so many for sol
ing.
In some tailor shops nowadays gar
ments are pressed while you wait. and
there are dentists offices in which you
may now have your artificial teeth re-
paired while you wait.
In summer time there are to be found
nowadays establishments where they
clean and press your straw hat while
you wait. They are usually set up in
some vacant store in a busy street.
In some Of these places n may see
half a dozen men sitting hatless. wait
ing. reading newspapers OF looking on
at the men at work, who have, in the
different stages, three hats in hand at
once.
The modern "while you watt signs
show the enterprise that is all the time
on the lookout for new ways of making
money, and they show, also, the mod
ern tendency to do things and get them
| out of the way.

TO CALL THE DOCTOR.
Now Proposed That Country Physl

Vow Proposed That Country Phyyi-
claus Use Homing Pigeons.
Thanks, perhaps more than to any,
thing else, to the successful use OF
homing pigeons by the French govern
ment, both in military and naval ma
neuvers, there has been 4 great revival
of interest in the subject of the possS
bilities of the utilization of these birds
as a means of rapid communication,
says the New York Journal. The Med
ical Record and several of it's, contem-
poraries are urging the great benefits
that medical practitioners in sparsely
settled districts may derive from a
rier- pigeon service. The idea seems to
have been successfully inaugurated by
several medical men, who have written
of their experiences. The plan is for
the doctor who is expecting a call from
a distant farm or hamlet beyond tele-
phone or telegraph service, to carry n
or more homing pigeons to the point,
with instructions to release the feath.
cred messenger when his services may
be required. The possibilities of the
homing pigeon have never been esti-
mated fully.

Three years ago a Portland man lost
his pocketbook, containing $500. The
last he could remember Of 1t was lay
ing it upon his bed. Last Sunday he
read in a newspaper the notice of the
death of an old friend, and this set
him to thinking of his school days.
From these remembrances came a de-
sire to look over an old chest contain
ing souvenirs, and in which he thought
there was a. picture of his former
cover. and the first thing that met his
gaze was the pocketbook with the non
ey intact. And now he is puzzling his
brains to remember how 1t came there.
