The editor of the Lost Greek Tyre
thus describes a little incident of every
day editorial life in that lively camp:
When he lit inside our sanctum
We most cOurteously thanked him
For the honor he had paid us by the call
And his hand shot like a rocket
AS he passed a rude remark about our gall
He had come prepared to fight us,
To numerically smite us,
On his mortuary fence to hang our hide.
But our nerve was working steady
And our Calling gun was ready
And he prematurely crossed the great di-

LIGHTS FOR BIRDS NESTS.
Some Curious Habits Practiced In
the World of SOngdom.

Some Curious Habits Practiced In
the World of Songdom.
Many birds suspend their nests from
the branches of trees, one of the most
curious nests of that kind being that
of the baya bird of India. 1t is hung
from the branch. with its opening at
the bottom. and hangs like an inverted
bottle, secure from the approach of
tree snakes and other reptiles. The
most curious thing about the baya
bird is that 1t is said to light up its
nest by sticking tirefies on its sides
with clay or soft mud. There seems to
be little doubt of the fact.
DR.. Buchanan says: "At night each
of the habitations is lighted up by a
freely stuck in the top with a piece OF
clay. The nest consists of two rooms.
Sometimes there are three or four fire
flies. and their blaze in the little cells
dazzles the eyes of the bats, which Of
ten destroy the young of these birds"
Perhaps other animals are scared off
by the baya birds electric light. since
a writer in Nature records this Curl
Gus observation: 81 have been informed
on safe authority that the Indian bot
tie bird protects his nest at night by
sticking several of these glow beetles
around the entrance by means of clay,
and only few days back an Intimate
friend of my own was watching three
rats on a. roof rafter of his bungalow.
When a glow fly lodged very close to
them, the rats Immediately scalnpered
off."-Our Dumb Animals.

To solve the question of ballast many
expedients are resorted to, and the re

posed to know at least, the relative
value of certain grades Of rocks al

He can dispose of cargo of stone to
contractors here which will more than
reimburse him for the expense of load

disposal many months before his re-
turn from some out of the way corner
of the world.
Every time sailing vessel returns
from foreign port she usually Is Wis

Irron eous Answer Wins Commenda-
tson From n Latin Teacher.
"The class in Latin will now recite,"
said the Latin teacher at one of the
city high schools the other day.
The members of the class in Latin,
consisting of 30 or more bright looking
girls, with three or four boys, came
forward and took their places. All
moved along smoothly until the dec
lination of the noun ''donum" was in
order, and there was trouble. 1t was
the ablative that caused the trouble.
For the benefit of those not acquainted
with the mysteries of Latin it may be
mentioned right here that the ablatiye
is ''dono," and the pronunciation is the
same as if one should say don't
know" slurring the two words, as is so
frequently done, to don know"
"Miss Jones'" said the teacher to
the head of the class, @what is the
ablative of 'donumY"
Miss Jones gave her version and
was told to sit down. The question in
turn went down the entire length of
the class. all failing. until it reached
the last. boy who had reputation
for baseball and football, but none for
scholarship.
"WeIl. Percy. the ablative of do
num?'" asked the teacher.
Percy scratched his head and despair
ingly looked at his grinning class
mates.
Don know" he finally blurted out.
Right" said the teacher; "go up
head"
And then the class broke out into a
laugh that cost each member ten
marks. but none peached on Percy
and the teacher to this day cannot I'M
derstand what there is so comical in

SALARIES OF OUR PLAYERS.
The Pay of Actors Varies From $40
-. ALL. N. csnn Dor XNnaI

The Pay of Actors Varies From 80
to as Much as $500 Per Week.
Franklin Fyles writing of 1.-THE The
alter and Its People, in The Ladies'
Home Journal touches Interestingly
upon the earnings of actors and cor
reefs the oft repeated reports of the
enormous earnings of players. "Sala-
ries vary with circumstances" he says.
''The manager may find at $25 week
a player whose moderate talent exact
ly fits part of considerable impor-
lance. He may have to pay $15O If the
role is singular and fit candidates
scarce If he wants celebrity in addi-
ton to ability. he may be willing to
make the salary $500 a; week. In that
case he takes into account the public
value of the name and makes feature
of it in his advertisements.
''Not more than ten actors in Amer
lea, aside from the stars. receive as
much as $3.50 week, and not more
than five actresses are paid this
amount In fact, $3.50 week is excep-
tional, and 500 will engage an excel
lent hero or heroine, fine comedian
or q delineator of eccentric character
The wages run down to $50 for SOU
brette, ingenue or old man. to $50 fol-
an old woman, juvenile man or juvenile
woman, and so along to utility and
chorus men and women at $12 or SlS q
week. Those are the wages of thor
oughly competent actors in companies

WASHINGTON AND BURR.

Alleged Cause of the Break Between
the Two Great Men.
An old lawyer speaking of dramatic
incidents i'll court, said: 'Jere Clemens,
once famous United States senator
from Alabama. told of d trial in which
Burr appeared for the defense of a
man charged with murder. My recol-
lection is that the trial was in the
southwest.
when Burr addressed the jury. 1t
was night The guilty man was in the
ROOM He had been the principal wit
ness for the prosecution. but Burr had
learned that this witness was the as
sassin. and in closing his address for
his client he picked up two lighted
candles from the table. and. holding
them in the face of the witness refer
red to. he exclaimed: Gentlemen Of
the jury there is natures verdict. Now
write yours At that moment the wit
ness fed from the room After Glenn
ems told this story he wrote a his
torical novel called The Rivals: or. The
Times of Hamilton and Burr In that
book he wove the incident into one of
the chapters The book is cut of print
and has been for many years. But it
had a great sale. particularly in the
south. before the civil war. for Glenn
ems was a typical southern orator and
man Of wonderful personal mag
netism. The object of the novel was
to make Burr a hero and to besmirch
Hamilton's character.
.Tn one chapter where Burr was high
in the esteem of Washington the latter
is represented as reading letter from
Hamilton in which Hamilton detailed
some scandalous gossip about Burr.
Burr was standing behind Washington
during the reading Of the letter. Wash

letter. turned quickly and saw Burr, to
whom he said. How dare you read my

SUNSET.

Turn not to the east when the day Is declining
And the glory Of sunset is here;
Too sad is the light the far hilltops defining
In outlines too pensiyely clear
Though fair was the morning its gladness is past,
And the days brightest beams are reserved for
the last
The morn is for growth, and the noontide is
stronger
In all that is bravest and best,
But the hands become weary as shadows grow
longer.
And we look to the evening for rest.
And why should we sigh for the mornings delight
When ripe for the quiet and peace OF the nightS
Turn not to the east when the day is declining,
Nor muse on the past with tear,
When bright Ger the hilltops the red light is
shining,
And the glory OF sunset is here.
Enjoy then. the moment, the brightest and best,
When morning is dawning away in the west.

strange Treak oil Fate.

Says the Portland Oregonian: 1T is
the belief of some historians that the
name Oregon is Aragon in disguise,
that it was given to this country by
the early Spanish voyagers and that
American explorers so interpreted the
word given them by the Indians The
theory is at least plausible and indi-
Gates a strange freak of fate. The
name Spain proudly brought to this
distant coast returned to the West In
dies 300 years later to destroy the
power of Spain on the seasl Little
thought De Fuca when he sighted this
coast in 1892 that some day it would
build warship which. under the name
of Aragon. or Oregon. would be fore
most in the battle that marked the end
of Spain's dominion in the new world"
