one night aud asked to see the can

A number Of the little wooden

"Oh. zat ees not enough, want

The dealer went again to the shelf
where he kept his stock OF yellow
songsters aud brought ont bird, the
price of which on ordinary occasions
was the same as the rest. He would
have been glad at any time to get 50
bill for him.

He bought a so cage, and, leaving
directions where the bird and cage
were to be sent, rushed out as fast as
lie came, evidently thoroughly salts
fed with his purchase.
A few days ago the same young man
man came into the store and again
asked for a canary.
The dealers eyes snapped. He saw
another chance to sell SIS bird in a
$40 cage.
He briskly set out the finest can
aries he had aud gave stiff prices on
them. But the diplomat didn't warm
up bit. He shrugged his shoulders
and kept saying, TOO much! Too

Finally he threw up his hands and
expostulated;-

The dealer made the best of the
situation and sold him a 81 bird and

paying five times as much for the

schley'. Wonderful Legs.

A Kansas City man who was a class
mate Of Schley's at Annapolis, says
that the commodore was looked upon
as the best Spanish and French schol-
ar in the navy. His department at the
academy was modern languages. Il
remember one thing in particular
about him, and that is his long legs.
He is not noticeably tall, but his legs
are of wondrous length, and he can
run like deer. In the navy they
never tire of telling about Schley in
Corea. During the trouble there we
sent landing party ashore IN charge
of Schley. The boat had not more
than reached the shore when out
jumped the marines to make dash
for the parapets possibly half mile
away. In the lead was SchIey. In Il
jifv he was far ahead of everybody, his
legs working yigorouslyand when the
embankments we're reached he had
practically distanced all the others.

In the fishing village of AHchmithie
the Musselcraig of SCOTS Anti
quarry vou may frequently witness
seagulls flying into the houses of the
fishermen and partaking of food from
their hands. One Of these seabirds
was in the habit of staying in fisher
mans house all the year round except
at the breeding season, when 1t left.
About fortnight ago, when the gull
was awaE, the fisherman removed his
home from Auchmithie to Arbruath
the FalrpOrt of SCOTS "Anilquary }
distant some three and half miles
from the former place, taking up his
residence in South street, of Arbrouth.
The fisherman never expected to see
his old friend the gull again 1t was,
therefore, much to his establishment
that he beheld one recent Sunday the
senbird come walking into his new
residence with stately steps to resume
his old iamlliarities and household
ways with his boarding house keeper.
Query: Was there not spiritual bond
between the two friends, created by
mutual affection, something more than
was confered on the gull by senses
of sight and hearing, or even instinct
in its usual acceptatiom?-LondOn
