Pigeon Valet to a Crow,
From the Ladies' Home Journal

Tom was the name given to a lordly
young crow. Beauty was a snow white
pigeon of about the crows age with whom
he was reared. Just how it came about we
never knew, but We soon discovered that
Beauty regularly acted as maid-of-ali-work
TO Tom. She fetched and carried morsels
Of food at his imperious command, and one
OF her unvarying duties was the preening
OF her masters feathers. Tom was very
much Of a dandy; his coal black piamage
always appeared perfectly dressed and shin
ing, but the arduous labor of his toilet was
performed for him twice every day by the
humble and affectionate pigeon. Our fine
gentleman would come in from a roll in the
dust or a dip in the fountain, and, seating
himself upon certain railing utter a short
sharp call. Instantly Beauty would descend
to his side and begin her task futtering
anxiously from side to side as she worked,
drawing each shining black feather care
fully out to its full length in her pink bill:
Tom, meanwhile, doing luxuriously with
closed eyes. after the manner of the COM
placent patron of a skilled barber II
Beauty unfortunately pulled a feather too
hard squawk and sudden peck informed
her of her mistake.

Confidence Man Was Too COnfidinG
with the Supposed Farmer.


with the Supposed Farmer.
From the Detroit Free Press.
Waiting at the union depot was a round
faced man with an attractive countenance
eyes that invited confidence. and rather
long hair that waved from a fine forehead.
He was dressed in clericals and looked the
part. When the old farmer took seat
after buying ticket for Ypsilanti the
two fell into conversation.
The minister brought the talk around to
pickpockets and men who fool you out Of
your money, and expressed a great dread
of them. He clung to this topic until the
noise Of a row was heard from the outside
and he expressed a desire to see what was
the matter.
"Come on he shouted. as he started.
mo, my friend replied the farmer, mot
If you have any money about you. 1t Is
sure to be taken from you in a rough crowd
like that
Here. you hold it and my watch until
run out few minutes, and then I'll hold
your valuables while you CO."
IAN right, don't be too long" and the
farmer accepted his trust.
When the minister returned the farmer
was gone. Never did a clerical masquerade
come to quicker end. He rushed around
muttering things profane, kept his hand in
his hip pocket, and told everybody but the
policeman that he could lick any farmer
that ever wore shoe leather. Half an hour
later he in a saloon making things
blue. "Ill know him If I ever see him
again, I don't care how he's dressed, and
I'll cut him into inch squares. l don't low
any man to make sucker Of me and live
to blow about it.
