The Birds and the Bell.

From the st. Louis GlObe-Democrat.
Peter Muth. the sexton of SITS. Peter and
Paurs Church, was one Of the most sur
prised men in St. Louis Sunday morning
when he pulled the bell rope which hangs
from the belfry and there was only the
sound of whirring wings a shower Of
straw and twigs fell about him. For a
moment Peter stood there motionless and
astounded. Then he gave another and a
more earnest tug at the rope. The re-
suit was the same. and Peter, mindful Of
his own boyish days, sighed and started up
the narrow stairway.
He was painting when he stuck his head
through the little trapdoor beneath the
bell. but what he saw nearly took away
what breath remained. The bell is one OF
those which are rung by the use of a wheel,
and when it ceased ringing on the Sunday
previous, instead of hanging in its proper
position, it had stopped at an angle which
made it an admirable place for the building
of cozy family residence for Mr.. and Mrs
Sparrow-and some friends. The bell had
been half filled with twigs and leaves and
bits of string and wooden, the whole tightly
interviewer about the clapper until 1t was a

From the New York Post

For years the schools in Louisville have
had one session daily, limited to the fore
noon. One necessity Of this Arrangement Is
that the children must do much school
work at home For those who had the OBJ
portunity to do all or some of this home
work in the afternoon the advancement
worked al right. But to children who de-
voted the afternoon to labor for their own
support the home night work was very
Gnerous- The parents of these latter chill
dren. however. were the first to protest
when Ii was suggested to nave two ses-
sions daily and to abandon the night work
That would deprive them entirely, they
said, of the assistance of their children:
and they preferred the one-session plan
with diminution of the home work Their
protests were seconded by well-to-do par
ents, Tho complained that two sessions
Gai!y would interfere with the studies of
their children in music, art and other polite
accomplishments. On this double remon-
STRANGE the board of education decided to
retain the one-session plan, and the Louis
vile children will continue to study at
nome nights to the possible injury of those
IN the lower grades. and to the disgust of

Elwood, Ind, Special to the indianapolis News.
A queer and unexpected battle occurred
late last evening some distance west of the
city, where band OF Gypsies have been
camped for several weeks. Yesterday a
rowing band Of Turks appeared and spread
their tents within short distance of the
Gypsies' camping ground. This arrange
ment did not suit the Gypsies, who did not
want opposition for the public's attention,
and they soon told the Turks to seek other
quarters. The Turks refused. When some
city visitors appeared and went to the
Turks tent instead of to the Gypsies'
camping grounds this angered the Gypsies,
who attacked the Turks, and a pitched bat
tie occurred. 1t was an exciting affair, I'm
which both sides yelled and swore In their
native tongues. The Gypsies were too
numerous for the Turks. and, after a ten
minutes fight. during which several were
badly bruised, the Turks folded their tents
and moved.

as though society had turned out en- masse
to do honor to the organization and to its
guests whom it wished to distinguish by
its attention. But the reception given at
the Arlington Hotel last night by the So
ciety in honor of DIR. Fridtjof Nansen, the
famous Arctic explorer from far-away
Norway, eclipsed any like event that has
ever been given under its auspices.
The hours of the reception were from .
until II o'clock. and during that time it Is
estimated that the explorer shook hands
with at lest 1880 persons, each one ex-
pressing to him his or her congratulations

OF course the -four must cost a good deal
