SHE TALKS WITH BIRDS.
Miss Reina v. Wright Understand
Their Language.

FOND DU LAC, Wis, Oct. .-Reina V.
Wright, a talented young girl of this city,
has mastered the Language of birds in a
manner which enables her perfectly to UNI
derstand their conversation. Miss Wright,
who is now eighteen, has made a study OF
bird sounds since she was twelve years
old. She began by talking to her feathered
friends in their own tongue, and was soon
gratiied by noting her power of calling
them together and imposing silence upon
them while she trilled their songs. The
birds not only listen, but answer her,
sometimes in chorus and again one at a
time. Miss Wright is now a teacher of elo-
cution at Grafton Hall in this city. She
was born in Nebraska, and came hitheT
when a child of three. She has been a stu
dent in the Ralston University of Express
sion and Physical Culture at Washington,
where she worked under the private direc-
ton of President Edgerly. She was gradu-
ated last year, and came home to teach.

Boy. and ButternteS

Boys are thoughtless creatures. 1t is
delightful TO hear them. not too close
at hand. shouting at their play, turn
ing to mirth all things of earth, as only
boyhood can 1t makes older or quiet
or folk-girIS and women-think that
they would like to be boys for about
half an hour, just to see how it feels!
Such high spirits must make Il boy =
life a very good thing. But thought
lessness is not always good. Evil is
wrought by want of thought as well as
want of heart" Few boys, let us hope,
are really cruel. but many do cruel
things out of sheer thoughtlessness. A
boys first impulse on seeing butter
fly is to chase and capture it. Why
not stop and think? Why should you
put an end TO that bright little winged
life? Why not try to look at things
from the butterfly's point of view?

Every ocean liner carries with her
from six to ten cats, which are appro-
toned to different parts of the vessel.
Not only is proper food provided for
the cats. but in nearly all the big liners
an employee is especially charged to
feed the pussies belonging TO his part
of the ship. For cats as we'll as for
crew promotion is to be had, and,
though there are some excellent and
much appreciated ones who devote
themselves entirely TO the pleasure or
duty Of the chase in questionable
parts of the ship. there are others which
earn social distinction as the pets of the
first, second and third class saloons.
On the long voyage ships the first
class saloon cat sometimes becomes
quite a celebrity, and the various stew
ards will often push their feline IA
yorites into notice.

He Performed n Good Deed Because
He Felt Better For Ii. :


He Felt Better For Ii. :
In the early pioneer days when
Abraham Lincoln was Il practicing latt
torney and rode the circuit. as was the
custom at that time. he made one of. a
party of horsemen, lawyers like him
self, who were OH their way one spring
morning from one court town TO an
other. Their course was across the
prairies and through the timber. and
as they passed by Il little grove where
the birds We're singing merrily they,
noticed a little tiedgeling which had
fallen from the nest and was flutter5
ing by the roadside. After they had
ridden short distance Mr.. Lincolni
stopped and. wheeling his horse. said:
wait for me Il moment / will soon
join you again" And as the party
halted and watched him they saw Mr.
Lincoln return To the place where the
little bird lay helpless on the ground,
saw him tenderly take it up and set
it carefully on a branch near the nest
When he rejOined his companions, one
OF them laughingly said, Why, Lin
coin, why did you bother yourself and
delay us for such Il trifle as that"
The reply deserves to be remembered.
MY friend" said Lincoln. Il can only.
say this-I feel better for it."

the kind the specifications and contract
called for. Now the electric company
replies that the pumps are of the Nor

with the contract and that they will
therefore proceed to install them.
The facts regarding the controversy
are these: The Morris company former

of the company man named Wye.

and the company and the former with

far as the name goes, but whether or
not they are what the contract calls
for will probably have to be determined
by the courts.
