WHAT SAID THE WlND7

Her thought
The wind is waving all the trees;
They whisper in the sun,
And ever through the sweet, warm grass
The wayward shadows run.
Oh, turn you here or turn you there,
The thought will not away
That love comes as the wind comes,
And none may say it nay.
His thought
The wind is scattering the leaves,
The clouds rush up the SKY,
The vagrant snowaakes find no rest,
But whirl and toss and fy,
And still thought wanders with the wind,
Returning but to say,
'<Oh, love goes as the wind blows,
And none may bid it stay!"
Adds Dunbar in Ainslee's Magazine.

A VERY CURIOUS BIRD.

The One Young Mark Twain Sprung
Upon the Scientists.
Mark Twain's father was an ornithol-
ogist- He had several friends who
were also enthusiasts On the subject of
birds Whenever any one of them dis
covered a rara avis it was the custom
TO have consultation. Mark had been
witness Of several Of these bird in
quests and had noted the delight the
old men took in discussing a new
found specimen. One day it occurred
to him to provide the Hannibal orni-
biologists with a real circus in the
form of bird. He killed a crow and
also a barnyard rooster. PIucking out
the tail feathers of both the crow and
the rooster. he substituted the ROSTERS
tail feathers for those Of the crow, pro-
ducing a unique effect. When he had
the specimen nicely prepared, he went
to his father and, handing it to him.
said:
Here, father, IS very curious bird
/ shot. I thought you would be irter-
ested in it"
The old gentleman gased upon the
specimen with astoaishment. That
evening the ornithologists Of Hannibal
were assembled in SIR. Clemens par
lor. The rare specimen was put before
them. The discussion was long and
learned. The opinions expressed were
various. One thought the bird was an
ofshoot Of the bird Of paradise FAM
lily; others had equally ridiculous no
tons as to it's ancestry. But there was
one who refused to be swerved by the
popularity Of the birds tail from the
judgment that it was Of the crow fam
lily.
"Why, just look here" he said, lift
ing the bird by its tail feathers. He
got no further. The feathers came
out. There was a quick closing Of q
door. Mr.. Clemens started to leave
the room.
Gentlemen" he said, "please excuse
me few moments. ] will see Samuel
first and explain later"
The Honorable Board.
Sam Rawson occasionally said good
thing, and one Of these occasions chanc-
ed to be the town meeting. The peo-
pie Of Sans village could not under
stand how the money appropriated for
the roads had vanished with such poor
results.
A stretch of road running past Sans
house was IN notoriously poor condi-
ton, although Sam declared that be
had paid literally to have it put in
good order, and there was general In
terest when Sam rose to make his state
ment before the selectmen.
''I'd just like to say one thing" he
drawled, needless Of the fact that be
had interrupted an indignant neighbor.
81 don't want to make any fuss, but
I'd just like to ask the honorable board
Of highwaymen"-
That was as far as be could get. A
roar Of laughter swept over the town
meeting and showed its effects In the
red faces Of the "highwsymen." -

ANNA ton of Patrick Assistant Dis
5rict Attorney Osborne has declared his

ing consulted handwriting experts. Mr.

rome today and swore out warrants for
the arrest of Short and Meyers.
Meyers was formerly employed by

Rice millions were left to Patrick.
Short, when examined before Justice
Jerome, swore that he had never used
his seal except when transacting bust

he declared that Short and MEYERS We're
inoncent of any wrOngdoing Short
