Crorn we'll.

Cromwell kept quiet during the years
in which Charles was governing with
out parliament He is not heard Of as
resisting the payment Of ship money
or even as setting ut defiance the eccie-
siastical courts. Clearly he was no am
bilious fire brand, but man under au-
thcrity, whose aim it was to carry obe-
iience to the utmost limits consistent
with his personal drty. This, too, is
Characteristic of the man and displays
itself again and again in his prolonged
hesitations to break with established
authority.
In his conservative dislike to hasty
changes, combined with religion influ-
encing the conduct as we'll as the creed,
Cromwell was a fair representative of
the better part Of England, none the
less bt cease when once his reluctance
to step forward had vanished he was
capable Of administering heavy lows
against those who blocked the W y toe
persistently even for his patience and
because when once he bad broken with
the past no going back was any longer
possible for him.-"Cromwell' Place
In History" by s. II. Gardiner.

THE LITTLE TiTMOUSE.


One Free Bird That Attracts Attention
Among Hundreds of Captivcs.
In big bird store where there are
hundreds of birds Of many kinds inces-
sanity squawking, chirping ana singing
there is one that is free-a tiny tit.
mouse. Tie window is full of cages
containing birds of various sorts, and
ono side Of the store Is lined with bird
cages stacked up high all along But
there is noro that attracts SO much at
tention as the little titmouse fitting
about the store at will. At night it
perches on Il gas fixture in the window,
and to that it GENES back from its vari
Gus excursions by day.
Customers that come in to buy birds
and birdcages and bird seed and one
thing and another never fail TO notice
the titmousc. They may not notice an
other bird thsrc individually, but their
attention is IRE to be attracted by this
one as it darts about, free among 80
many captivos, and they are likely to
smile ut it, they are SO pleased with it.
And sometimes children, looking in at
the windows of the bird store, come in
to tell the clerk that one of the birds
has got loose.
When it has nothing else to do, the
ti,mouse FITS On its gas pipe perch and
Jerks its head this way and that and
looks about Sometimes 1t wbets it's
beak ON the gus pipe. Every now and
then it dashes off somewhere. If 1t
wants drink, it perches on the rim OF
goldfish globe--for home aquariums
and stock for them are sold here as we'll
as birds---no doubt to the great surprise
Of the goldhshes and certainly to that
of the human beholders, who wonder
that it doesn't fall in, it has to bend
over SO far to reach the water. But it
gets it, and when it has taken its fill it
flashes back to its perch OH the pipe in
the window.
The titmouse catches spiders and 9TH
er insects, and it feeds ia the larger
cages when it will. It goes in and out
of them between the bars with perfect
ease. 1t is very little bird, even with
its plumage in its natural form. With
its feathers pressed against its sides II
can get through very narrow space
between the bars of a parrots cage, for
example--with ease There are in the
window a number of parrots cages in q
row. The titmouse almost flies through
these cages, stopping in each perhaps to
eat of the parrots food, but they neve,

the finger of man who should put hi
hand near enough to the outside OF thei,
