A Wise Pigeon.

The San Francisco Chronicle says
that the ferryboat Piedmont, from Oak
land. was about opposite to Goat island
when +. ii. SchlotZhauer, pigeon fan
cier Of Alameda, released five birds.
Among them was a famous 5-year.
old homer, Duke of Richmond, which
had proved its right to a title of nobil-
ity in more than a score of long dis
lance flights. 1t probably had never
had such incentive to quick flight as
was presented that day.
The passengers watched the pigeons
rise in the air and circle several times.
Then four of them turned toward the
east, but the fifth, which proved to be.
the Duke of Richmond, was seen to
fllrt and drop toward the Piedmont.
Presently the passengers made out that
it was being pursued by a large bird.
The birds were at an elevation of per-
haps 1000 feet when the chase began,
with the carrier in the lead. AS if it
had calculated its chances, the pigeon
dropped straight for the place where
its master had released it and landing
upon the ladies' deck of the Piedmont,
fiuttered through the cabin door
The sea eagle was so confident of
striking its prey that it did not check
its flight until within ten feet of the
ferryboat. Then it wheeled suddenly
and, lowering for a few minutes over
the stern Of the boat, winged it's way
back to Goat island
In the meantime the frightened pi-
geon fluttered down the aisle of the cab.

newspaper. Then, as If asking for
protection, it made up to his side and

1t was evident that the pigeon was
too wise to risk long race with the
eagle, knowing only too we'll that such
a fight would be its last.

dhree fishers went sailing out into the west
Out into the west as the sun went down;
Each thought on the woman who loved him the
best,
And the children stood watching them out Of
the town;
For men must work. and women must weep,
And there's little to earn and many to keep,
Though the harbor bar be moaning.
Three wives sat up in the lighthouse tower,
And they trimmed the lamps as the sun went
down;
Ehey looked at the squall. and they looked at the
shower,
And the night rach came rolling up ragged and
brown;
But men must work, and women must weep,
Though the storms be sudden and waters deep
And the harbor bar be moaning.
Three corpses lay cut on the shining sands
In the morning CLEAN as the tide went down,
And the women are weeping and wriuging their
hands
For those who viii never come home to the
town;
Fer men must work and women must weep,
And the sooner it's over tie sooner to sleep,
= And goodby TO the bar and its moaning.
