Does It Play Hide and Seek with Its
Own Image?
Meehan's Monthly prints a queer
story of a female robin. Every morn
ing about daylight, and at irregular
hours during the day, but more par
ticularly in the morning, the bird flies
to the window-sill, tips back her head,
looks straight up, and then makes a
flying leap up some three or four feet
and pecks at the window-glass, gener-
ally giving three knocks while poised
in mid-air. This it continues for an
hour or more, sometimes going out to
the lawn for a worm and then return
ing to its queer tactics. When driven
away, it will return within three min
utes. Where the inside shades are
drawn down, If of light color, she does
not bother that window; but if the
shades are dark green, she will peck
at the glass. Only windows under a.
porch cover are attacked. Even when
all these are shaded with light shades,
she does not bother other windows not
shaded that have no porch covering
over them: When all the windows un-
der a porch were covered with light in
side shades, leaving one small tran
som window unshaded, she attacked
that, but left windows, within five feet
unshaded and not covered by porch,
alone. She is not attacking her rehee.
ton, because the reflection would be
near the window.sill. Sometimes her
mate sits on the porch railing, some
ten feet away, watching her. If a win
dow is left open, she leaves it and goes
to another. What does it all mean?

When The Cosmopolitan, in it's

Husband" by the same author
T.avinia Hart. The August Cos
mopolitan contains an essay on
thissubject-on wllichfew people
agree-which is certain not only
to prove widely interesting, but
to cause lively discussion. In
the same number Mrs. Van
Rensselaer, Cruger Cullen Cor
dom tells the story of the life Of
the French wife with all it's tragic
commonplace narrowness. "The
woman of small capacity puts up
with, and, perhaps, does much
toward maintaining present con-
diuons," says the author, 'but
there are women of brains who
die at an early age of no disease
known to doctors, but simply of
utter Wcariness."

In a recent issue OF lis paper
Mark Hunt scores the officials
and the way the prob bition law
is handled in Fcssenden, in a half
column editorial and rises to say
that the prohibition law does not
prohibit and goes on to say:
prohibition is a farce, an opera
bouffe, and it puts the dignified
state of North Dakota in the very
undignifed attitude of playing
hiee and seek with it's renegade
population. Prohibition does not
prohibit. The unlawful sale of
intoxication liquors is not sup
pressed in nincty-nine out OF
every one hundred towns in the
state. The every one hundredth
town does not warrant the. ex-
pense and labor, supplied by the
state, in forcing its citizens to
hide when taking a drink. Fargo

the only towns where a sem
blance of the law is maintained.

shrewdest Monaroh in business

The shrewdest monarch in Europe,
from a business point of view, is UNI
doubtedly the sultan. He does not be-
lieve in Turkish banks, but deposits
all his superfuous cash abroad special
messengers being sent at intervals to
pay the money in. He also has a GU
rious habit Of secreting money in all
sorts of strange places in the palace,
and prefers to run the risk of being
robbed rather than enrich the Golfers.
Of an Ottoman bank. But he does not
depend on his regal position solely for
his income. He owns one of the main
streets in Constantinople, a sugar PLAN
tation in the West Indies, and draws
a handsome dividend from a line Of
steamships plying on The Bcspoyug.
