The Rest He COuli Do.

There was a clergyman Tin Tangipahoe,
La, let us say who was much annoyed by
the misohievous boy of neighbor. He rea-
soned with the brat, but with no effect. He
laid the case before the boys parents and
they showed him the door. One day he told
his brother-a rough and vigorous man of
worldly habits-all about this persecution.
The brother bolted out of the door and
presently returned with the cheering word
that the boy would make no further trou-
bic. Il told his - father" said the
wicked brother, that | would come blank
ETY. near kicking the blankety stuffing out
of him and his blankety- blank-bankety boy
if he ever bothered you again"
But | hope you did not let even that
wretched creature hear such language as you
have repeated. Brother, you did not really
swear at him, did you?"
oh not at all, said the wicked one, 'but

comfortable house to live in. They
could not find anything suited to
their purpose at the price which they
had decided to pay for rooms. So
after thinking the matter over they
concluded that the best thing for
them to do was to build a house of
their own and be their own landlords
and observation-disclosures as well.
They decided to own their own house,
furnish it themselves, cook and serve
their own meals, make their own
beds, and in every way be free and
independent of all boarding houses,
rented rooms, students clubs, CO.
operative housekeeping society, sta
dents aid associations, and all such
things.
So the two brothers went to Bloom
ington and viewed the landscape DER
to see where they would put their
house. North of the Wesleyan and
near the athletic park the brothers
found suita BILE location for their
home. The land at this place is owned
by F. A. Baller, who owns several
nurseries in the vicinity. These nur-
series are often visited by nocturnal
disturbers, and the Duffin bows point
ed out to Mr.. Baller how it
would be to his interest to have
two energetic athletes living on his
property. Mr.. Baller approved of
the idea, and gave the young men a
place on his property to build their
house. The two Duffins went to
work. The Duffin who is a brick
mason hauled brock from Normal and
built the foundation of the house.
Then the carpenter Duffin became
busy, and, after two or three weeks
of great agitation in the neighbor-
hood of the Baller property, the peo-
pie in that vicinity were delighted to
see a neat house standing amidst the
trees of the nursery. The house is
20 feet long and IL feet wide, with
a window on each side and a door
at each end. Every brick and plank
and nail that went into the construc-
ton of the Duffin brothers house was
placed there by themselves. They
have got everything ready now for
housekeeping, and are making ready
to move into their residence.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

PICKING CHERRIES.
A Farmers story About Two Boys
the Moral of Which Teaches
Useful Lesson.

"There's deal of difference in the
way those two boys pick cherries"
said the farmer, nodding in the direc-
ton of the young trees glistening with
red fruit. They're boys about the
same age, and both eager for the job,
but that merry, laughing fellow has
whisked about to half a dozen places
while the other one Stood still. He's a
good worker, that quiet one; he picks
steadily, and he never moves his lad
der till he's gathered everything with
in reach where he is.
It'll be the same out in the world,
by and by, if you watch the two. One
will be always hurrying round after
good chances and fat pickings, while
the other will make every round of
his ladder count for all he can gain
from it, he will change his positions
slowly, and only as he works his way
to them. He We make the most of
everything that comes within his
reach, and his pail will be full while
the other is still hunting for chances"

A stranger in a strange land he was,
streets of the great city. His gar
ments were ill-ftting and coarse. His
large, red hands hung awkwardly at
his side. Two inches of his wrists
showed below his coat sleeve. His
trousers bagged frightfully at the
knees and his heavy pillow shoes were
strangers to polish. But his face was
honest-honest and brown as the au-
tumn fields.
A healthy tan covered his features,
but in his large blue eyes a sadness
fingered. He glanced into thousand
faces and saw not one he knew. He
was jostled by the passing throng, but
no friendly hand grasped his. He was
weary with his tramping and hungry
for the sound of familiar voice.
Plainly he was from the country. In
his eyes there seemed to slumber the
glitter of the sunlight on the ripp,es of
a brook, and his freckled face seemed
over meadows clover-covered. Around
his worn and faded garments there
seemed to cling the wild fragrance of
the cornfields far outstretching and
the sweeter, subtle perfume of the
tangled, noddiEg grasses.
His movements were slow and I'M
graceful, but his shoulders were broad
and his muscles hard as steel.
Neither tramp nor beggar was Rob-
ert Lane, but in his pockets there was
not a penny. A light luncheon he had
eaten, but he knew not from whence
his dinner was to come.
He was searching for work-search-
ing in strange and unfamiliar places.
Few could husk more corn or bind
more grain in a day than he, but he
was of small value in the busy marts
of trade.
He had cut adrift from his quiet,
peaceful home upon a farm to drift
amid the whirlpools of the metropolis,
lured by wrong impressions, by mis-
guided hopes.
And so it was not strange that his
heart was heavy and his eyes dim with
unshed tears. Ever before him was
a picture of the sweet-faced girl wait
ing for him in the neat white farm
house in the Iowa hills.
He had meant to make her so proud
of him. He had meant to work and
economize; to save and to prosper, and
then return to the old farm and her
and bring her back with him to the city
and dracc har in an al ~
He remembered how she smiled up
into his face as they stood beside the
river that last night they were to-
gether; he remembered how tenderly
she placed her hand upon his Shout
der; he remembered how softly the
starlight glimmered on the smooth
surface of the water; how distinctly

But I'll soon find way

And braided Bessy's hair,
While Dolly sat and pondered long
Within her easy chair.
And so Miss Dolly dreamed and planned

She could not think of anything
Quite large enough to do!
And as she went to bed that night
She really wondered why,
When mother kissed her lovingly,
The kiss was half a sighl

Architectural Foresight.

great many of our birds take
great pains to conceal their nests.
Some do this, as our humming birds
do, by making the nest appear as
part of the branch on which it is
placed, others by careful conceal
ment; still others make no nest at
all as the eggs appear to blend with
the surrounding surface on which the
eggs are placed. Unlike these birds,
the woodpeckers do not try to con-
ceal their nests in any way, because
there is very little danger of their
being robbed. A hawk or an owl
cannot reach into the eggs in their
deep bed in the hard wood; and as
the nest is in dead wood which has
lost its rough bark, there is not
much danger from four-footed prowl-
ers. Near most nests the woodpeck-
ers select good, hard, well-seasoned
limbs for drums, and all through the
mating and nesting period the male
drums with laboring bill AS he cam
not sing he uses all his energy as
drummer and the result is loud,
clear tattoo which sounds over the
whole land when the sun brightens
IN the spring. There is only one of
our woodpeckers which has any song
worthy of the name, and that is our
flicker or golden-winged woodpecker.
Even his song is so unsatisfactory
to the ardent male that between
songs he will mount to some favorite
perch and beat a loud, clear, rolling
tattoo.
Everyone who has visited in the
country has seen the smooth, round
holes which these birds use for their
nests. They are cut out in dead or
dying timber and are very carefully
made. The round opening is Just
large enough for the bird to enter
the nest. but it gradually opens I'M
til it will allow the bird to turn
around. But the way the nest is
chiseled out and finished is not what
has impressed me with the reasoning
power of these birds so much as the
manner of choosing its site. Anyone
who has done any mailing with
hammer will realize how easy il
would be for the woodpecker to cut
its nest out of the upper side of
dead limb, and how difficult it would
be to do the same work with an up
ward stroke from the under side. Yet
we invariably find the holes of our
woodpeckers, when placed on limb,
dug out from the under side. They
know just as well as we do that if
the opening is on the upper side the
first hard summer rain will fill it with
water. This is simply one of the
many cases which show the student
OF nature that all nature reasons.
