The real BuruIau grapes also grow
on high trees and not ON vines. They

the tree in clusters ON long stalk and
are covered with thick outer skin,
which cannot be eaten.
The caohou, or monkey nut. is also
peculiar and consists nt a large, juicy

The Little FeAtAered Visftor AAAs
Pet Of by its Delegated
CApssr-

Mr. William Wicke. a grocer 1t the
corner of Lake street and Harlem ave
nue.. Oak Park. is the proud possessor
OF tanned hummingbird, which new
into his place OF business few weeks
ago. says 8 Chicago paper.
Mr.. Wicke and his family were much
delighted TO see such a bright assort-
ment of colors come lifting in the win
dow, and decided to mike the bird their
prisoner. Mr.. Wicke at once started TO
train the new member OF the family by
placing honey in some flowers which
were in the show window. Ii took the
bird but short time to know what
sweets the flowers contained. and II
soon flew down from its abode on one
of the shelves and deyoured the honey
as II realizing that IL had found home
which completely answered all the re-
quiremeuts of hummiugbird life. As
its education progressed. the bird
learned to eat honey from the end Of
Mr.. Wicke's finger. whenever the
grocer dipped his digit in that sac
charine substance.
The unusual fact of ame'humming-
bird drew many people to Mr.. Wicke {,
store. and proved. finally. that under
meath the brilliant plumage of the gen
tle-looking little creature there exists
a strain OF jealousy and fgbting blood.
1t was not brought ont until n woman
visited the store wearing a hat in the
trimming OF which nestled an artistic
ally upholstered" hummingbird. The
real thing" no sooner saw the imita-
tion. than the hat became a ring. in
which was fought pitched battle. a,
intense as the humming bird could
make it.
When the fight was over the store
was full OF feathers and the woman full
of wrath. Her anger was only piacated
when pay was offered for the damage
and she saw the iudicrous side Of the
unusual battle.

And there is neither CLINT OF shield

For when the haze Of summer days
Has melted from the skies
And we. without reproof. may gsze
Up into hesyen's eyes,
A host their plumes and banners shake
In ioust with breezes bold
And goldenrod's bright champions maks

With pomp and wealth untold.

and also our recognition of its slowness
in getting started. Like any other pom,
