There Is an amusing story told Of the
husband Of clever New York literary
woman, we'll known writer of many
books which have been translated into
many languages Before her marriage
TO her present husband she was what is
called 'fascl aating widow"
The mau who was fortunate enough
to win her affections must also have
had fascinating qualities, for the young
woman, who tells the story at her own
expense, acknowledges that in a few
meetings she had discovered that her
heart was dangerously susceptible. In
one of few visits which the gentleman
had made TO the young woman's house
as the guest of a masculine relative, he
had announced coming trip abroad,
and, among the attractions of the voy.
age, that he was to be seated beside tho
captain of the steamer at table and op-
posite charming widow.
The voyage was duly made, and again
the same man was a guest at the same
house. The young woman may have had
a special interest in the visitors COM
panions during his voyage, for she asked
Immediately, land did you sit at the
captain table, and did you sit opposite
the charming widow?'
She might have noticed that her
words were received with some embar-
rassment, but she was unconscious Of
anything unusual in her questions.
They were answered in the Gfiirma-
tive. 1.-The woman was Mrs. Banking
ton Blank, added the guest.
well, the man who marries her may
expect to lose his IDENTITY" said the
young woman, with apparent irrele-
vancy. He will never be known, ex-
cept as Mrs. Blankington- Blanks hus-
band. "
'Yes," acquiesced the man, "that is
what l expect TO be. We are to be mar
ried OH blank day of blank. New

BICYCLES Scare the Birds.

"Birds in the park?" said the old
South park policeman. NAV, not now.
There used to be lots of them, building
nests in every bush and singing ON every
tree, but nowadays there's nothing but
sparrows. Sometimes there's bird or
two that tries to nest, but they don't
stay long. The bicycles are too much
for them.
"You see, it's like this" he contin-
ued to his interested listener. Before
the bicyclists got so numerous most of
the people in the parks and boulevards
stuck pretty we'll to the roads and walks
and were only around in the daytime,
but since the bicycles have brought US
such crowds the whole place is entirely
overrun with people, who find every
shady spot, walk around every bush
and lean up against every tree. Espe-
cially they make night into day, and
lucky, indeed, is the poor bird which
can find a roosting place that is not dis
turbed by the presence of the omnipres-
ent riders.
1.-THE result of this, in my observa-
ton, has been the almost entire lack OF
the little song birds that used to make
the parks pleasure to walk in during
summer. There were orioles, thrushes,
catbirds and robins in the larger trees,
and quantities of yellow birds, flycatch-
ers and warblers in the bushes. In the
fall, when the leaves dropped. there
could be counted nests in the bare limbs
by the hundreds. Nowadays the few
nests you see are principally sparrows.

away disgustedly. Chicago Tribune.
