A Birds, Nest.

Over my shaded doorway
Two little brown winged birds
Have chosen to fashion their dwelling
And utter their loving words.
All day they are going and coming
On errands frequent and feet
And warbling over and over,
"Sweetest, sweet, sweet, o sweet"
Their necks are changeful and shining,
Their eyes are like living gems,
And all day long they are busy
Gathering straws and stems,
Lint and feathers and grasses,
And half forgetting to eat,
Yet never failing to MARBLE,
"Sweetest, sweet, sweet, o sweet"
i scatter crumbs on the doorstep
And fling them some fossy threads.
They fearlessly gather my bounty
And turn up their graceful heads
And chatter and dance and hutter
And scrape with their tiny feet,
Telling me over and over,
"Sweetest, sweet, sweet, o sweet"
What If the sky is clouded?
What If the rain come down?
They are all dressed to meet it
In waterproof suits of brown.
They never NOPE nor languish
Nor murmur at storm or heat,
But say, whatever the weather,
Sweetest, sweet, sweet, o sweet"
-Flotence Percy in Our Dumb Animals.

lord Kitohener,s Store Eye.

It must be great blow to the femi-
nine admirers of Lord Kitchener to learn
that he has glass eye. A Cambridge
photographer is said to have made this
discovery from the peculiar reflective
powers Of the artificial optic. If Lord
Kitchener has SO remarkable "store
eye that it remained for photogra-
pher to discover that it was not real,
there will be a demand for the address
of the optician who furnished it or for a
course Of instruction from Lord Kitch-
ener on the proper way Of managing

PALACE CAR OFFICIAL SUICIDES.
}. ID. Taylor Cut His Throat at
Washington Hotel.

Washington, Dec 22.-James Duane
Taylor, one of the important officers in
New York city of the Wagner Palace
Car company and a son-in-law of the
founder of the company, committed
suicide yesterday shortly after noon
at the Grafton hotel in this city, by
cutting his throat with a razor. Mr..
Taylor was suffering from nervous
affection caused by illness and the
fatal act was committed apparently on
the impulse of the moment. Death
was almost instantaneous. The sui
eide was 63 years of age
An intimate friend of Mr.. Taylor
said: THE arrangement for the alb
sorption of the Wagner Palace Car
company by the Pullman Palace Car
company undoubtedly aggravated Mr..
Taylors condition. For more than 30
years he had been connected with the
Wagner Palace Car company and at the
time of his death he was the treasurer
and secretary of the company He was
identified with no other business en-
terprises his whole time being de-
voted to the Wagner company. He
naturally was deeply concerned in the
growth of the company, and of course,
the plan to absorb his company had a
serious effect upon his condition"

ULRICH FLIM-FLAMMED
The 1amaqua Lawyer Hoodwinked by a
Building and Loan Association.

fA0H'''ft'a'Aa
John o. UIrich, Esq, of Tamaqua, created
a miniature panic in the Office of a building
and loan association in Allentown on Friday
Of last week, says the Courier suave rep
resentative of this association, who claimed
to be a Frenchman and who went by the
euphonious name of CyranO de somebody,
was in Tamaqua last summer soliciting sub
scrbers for the stock of the association. He
endeavored to interest Mr.. Ulrich in the con
cern, stating that Mayor Schaadt, Of Allen
town, held S25, 900 worth of the stock Of the
company, Upon this representation Mr..
Ulrich purchased some stock and the willy
Frenchman used the attorneys name in order
to procure other subscribers. He succeeded
in interesting several people in the concern,
received their money and then left the town.
As the company did not live up to the
| promises made by its representative Mr.. Ul-
rich endeavored to recover the money paid
in by himself and other subscribers. He
| learned that the story of Mayor Schaadt
owning large amount of the capital stock
of the company was purely chimerical and,
recognizing that he had been fim-hammed by
the Frenchman, left for Allentown last Fri
day and called at the office of the company
Fortunately he found the French solicitor
pIeSeuJ' OlIlCH dtouhoH MN VI huouNlhhlhB
him and his friends and endeavOred to
compel him to return the money himself and
others had paid for the bogus stock of the
company. The man refusing to do so Ul-
rich proceeded to use his fists as more con-
vincing argument.
! He knocked the Partisan down twice,
pummeled him severely and as a grand finale
threw him down the steps leading from the
office. Then the enraged disciple of Black.
stone with blood in his eyes, delivered his
ultmatum to the officers of the association,
to the effect that if they did not return the
money he would institute criminal proceed
ings against them.
