in people knowing themselves and others

its chivalrous Hrai.se of women, and
women together by its fair treatment
of men, and the same master hand
brought men and women together by
the tender sympathy it showed for
children and all nature. The beautiful

the heart that guided it no longer beats,
the human interest and kindly feeling
that it awakened will live forever, and
all the world has placed among the fore

THE sPARRows ROUTED THEM
A Feathered Army Drove Off Two
Curious Setter Dogs

A baby sparrow fluttered down to

sparrow, proba bly, its father and mother,
which pumped, down in front of the
noses of the dogs and feigning to be
wounded, tumbled along before the ad-
vancing settlers.
The birds kept just beyond the reach
of their pursuers, which were so puz-
zled by the movements of the sparrow
that they tiptoed softly after them. II,
this fashion the tiny tricksters lured the
dogs about twenty feet from the baby
sparrow. Then the birds flew twitter-
ing to nearby window ledge, and the
settlers slowly wheeled about and
crossing over. began shifting at the help

to be fooled seemed to anger the old
sparrows. They chartered angrily ard
winged straight at the settlers and at

Their shrill chatter was evidently bird
talk for "Hey, Rube!" because 1t was
promptly responded to by all the spar
rows visible in the neighborhood. In a
