TALES OF, A PET CROW.
It Had an Irrepressible Fancy for
Red Stockings.
And When 1t Came to Stealing Hard
Boiled Eggs 1t Was without n Ri
vaI-The Fate That Finally
Overlook 1t.

"The crows used to come down and
eat our corn" said q city man who once
lived on farm to New York Sun re-
porter, land the old crows would carry
away corn for the young ones in the
nests. We put up scarecrows in the
cornfield, but they never did any good,
for the crows paid no attention to them.
I reckon the only really efficacious way
of keeping crows out of cornheld IS
to kill 'em, and we used to destroy the
young crows when we could, the boys
climbing the trees to get at the nests.
"Once 1 carried couple of young
crows home. One of these crows dis
appeared very soon, but the other
STAYED with us for months, and became
very tame. When we plowed or plant
ed he'd follow along in the furrow in a
friendly, sociable sort of way, and pick
up worms. But he was full of mischief,
and forever carrying off things, as most
crows will, and the habit finally cost
him his life.
''The crow lived in the barn. We
couldn't keep him in the house, because
he would have carried off all the knives
and forks and spoons and such things,
but we used to take him in sometimes,
and when he wanted to come in he
would peck at window, and sometimes
he'd bark like a dog. He didn't have a
chance to get many things out of the
house, but it was easier for him to get
at the things in the building we had on
the farm where we used to do our re-
pairing of wagons and plows and one
thing and another, and it seemed to give
the crow particular delight to carry of
nails. There was knothole though the
weather boarding on the ridge of the
barn, down near one of the gable ends
and there was piece out of the shingle
directly under it, so that there was q
hole down through into the barn. The
crow never got tired of dropping nails
through that hole. Itwould fly up there
with beak full of them and sit on the
sharp edge of the roof and drop them

WHITE HOUSE SILVER.
The Silver of the Executive Mansion
Was Bought from a NOblemRn.

The SILVER OF the Executive MhhslOu
Was Bought from a NOblemnn.
1t seems that when the executive man.
sion was again occupied by Mr., Monroe,
after its destruction, the United States
purchased at an appraisement his pri-
vate furniture, and with it small serv-
ice of plate" writes ex-President Harri-
son, in the Ladies' Home Journal. In
1888 the most important purchase of sill
yer plate was made for the executive
mansion, and at second hand. The
pieces constituted the outfit of Russian
robleman-M. lie Gen Baron de Tuyll,
who had been the resident minister OF
Russia at the court of Portugal. The to-
tai cost was $4,30S.S2. The silver service
consisted of 33S pieces, and there was a
gold-plated dessert set of spoons, knives,
forks, ETC., consisting of 14O pieces.
These gold spoons were perniciously
active in the campaign of 1910. Much of
this old silver is still in use-and a piece
or two has been added now and then;
but the white house plate is now meager
compared with what is to be found in
the house of many private citizen who,
at the time it was bought, was playing
in his bare feet about the cabin door OF
a pioneer. The silver service recently
presented by the citizens of Indiana to
the battle ship of that name cost
7,7S5. 10-much more than the service
used in the white house.

COUNTING AHEAD.
lie Wanted 10 he Remembered TO q
Friend I'm Heaven.

A well-lnown literary man whose
identity may as we'll be lost in the fcti-
tious name of Prof. k, but who lives
in an eastern city, affords his friends no
little amusement by reason of his for
getfulness and the "wool-gatheringp
state of his mind TO have his wits about
him, says the Detroit Free Press. This
failing leads him into doing and say
ing some very funny things.
One day recently he was talking to a
party of his friends, ana he said:
do you Know that have been to the
funeral of four of my old friends within
ten days. and it-well, it rather de-
presses me, you know. Now, on Mon

me, dear me, what am talking about:
Mr.. NJ isn't dead yet; but then he's
very low and I'm going to his funeral
which will make four in a very short
time!"
At another time the professor was
at reception when he was approached
by lady who evidently knew him, but
whom he could not remember having
met before. Too kind and polite to ac
knowledge his ignorance of the lady:

through the hole. Then it would bend
over and hoist it's head round, and look
down through. Apparently, to this
crow, dropping nails down through this
linothole was the funniest thing in the
world.
THE crow used to do other things
that would sometimes give nus real
trouble. 1t would get up on the roof Of
the house, for instance, and seek out
shingles that had soft spots in them,
and pick holes through them; and there
never was pair of red stockings put on
the line on washdays that we didn't
have to hunt for them'later. The crow
had either a great antipathy or a great
fancy for red stockings, and he always
managed to get them off the line in
some way and get away with them. We
always used to find them again, but
sometimes we had to look for them.
when we had the crow a few
months he got to going down to the
village, about half a mile from where
we lived. The first we knew of that
was when he began bringing home
whole hard-boiled eggs from a restaa-
rant there. He would jab one point Of
his beak into an egg so as to impale it,
and then he'd shut the other point down
on the egg to steady it and help hold it,
and then fly away with it. He must
have had to rest more or less on the way
home, but he used to bring the whole
boiled eggs in that way.
.At first they liked him in the vii.
lage and used to pet him and make a
good deal of him and be glad to see him.
He was a quaint, queer sort of chap,
friendly and good natured, but sly, and
he would carry Off things, and after
awhile the very traits that had at first
made people laugh at him brought him
into disrepute. People got tired of him,
and, instead of being amused, they wers
irritated by him. Of course, the crow
couldn't understand this, and if it had
don't suppose it would have made any
difference; it was the crows nature to
do things that way, and then, like man,
the crow is perverse. Anyhow, it kept
right on just the same, and finally some
body poisoned it."

A MAGNETIC MOUNTAIN.
Almost n Duplicate of IN Arabian
Nights story.


In the Arabian tales a story is told
about a magnetic mountain which at
tracts irresistibly all ships, and when
they come near extracts every particle
of iron from them, even to the nails.
Such mountain exists in reality, al
though not quite as dangerous in its
activity as the one mentioned in the
oriental fairy tale. The island of Born
holm, in the Baltic, belonging to Den
mark, consists almost entirely of mag
netite, and its magnetic influence is
very well known to the navigators OF
those waters, and also much feared by
them, not on account of the possibility
of it's extracting the nails from their
ships, but because of it's influence on the
magnetic needle, which makes the steer
ing of a ship almost impossible. This
influence is felt even at a distance of
miles, and when this island is sighted
all mariners on the Baltic discontinue
steering their course by the needle, but
turn to the well-known lighthouses and
other helps to direct their course. Be-
there is a bank of rock under water
which is very dangerous to navigation;
because of it being constantly sub
merged vessels have been frequently
wrecked at that point. The magnetic
influence of that ore bank is so powerful
that a magnetic needle suspended free
ly in a boat over the bank will point
down, and if not disturbed will remain
in perfectly perpendicular line.

happy one

A healthy baby is the real Jewel for which
the wedding ring is only the setting.
There is no place in Natures economy for
a childless marriage. Welded couples that
are childless are never truly married. A
baby is the tie that binds. The baby is the
pledge that makes husband and wife one in
nature aud in fact and that teaches mutual
self-sacrifce and sympathy. Thousands of
couples are childless because of the wife's
neglect of her health as a woman. Too few
women fully appreciate the importance of
keeping healthy and vigorous the organs
upon which motherhood is dependent. As
consequence, they are weak where they
should be strong, and motherhood is either
an impossibility or torturesome and dscs
gerous ordeal. This is easily remedied.

remained unchanged. A gray. weary.
worn-out woman, she dwelt alone In
Annandale Castle.
Holding little Leon by the hand, they
strolled quietly along under the trees.
Presently they came to one OF the
many merry-go-rounds which are TO
be found in the Champs Elysees. Mer-
ry children we're riding on the wooden
horses. and mothers and nursery-ma.ds
were looking on.
Here little Leon clamored for n ride.
and Sutherland placed him on one OF
the horses. As he rode round and
round, uttering cries Of ~infantine de-
light, Marjorie looked on with height
ened color, here eyes full Of mothers
tender rapture: and, gazing upon her.
Sutherland thought to himself:
Poor Marjorie. She loves her hus-
band for her child's sake. have no
right TO come between them"
When the ride was done and the
three passed on together, Marjorie
seemed to have forgotten al her trou-
BILE and to look her old smiling self, but
Sutherland's heart sank in deep dejec-
ton.
Close to the Madeleine they parted,
with n warm handshake and a prom
iee to meet again.
From that day forth Marjorie n
Sutherland met frequently. and walked
together in the Bois de Boulogne or on
the boulevards, with little Leon for a
companion. At her express entreaty
he refrained from speaking to Caussi-
diere. though he saw that. despite her
attempts at cheerfulness, her face
sometimes wore an expression OF in
creasing pain. He began to suspect
that there was something very wrong
indeed; and he determined to discover,
II possible. the exact relations exist
ing between Marjorie and her husband.
Meantime, the meetings with his old
sweetheart were full OF an abundant
happiness, tempered with sympathetic
distress.
