Flushed with excitement, the editor
caught It. 1t was not his hair, he ar
gued, therefore It was not his property.
Then, again. he thought, the owner
probably lost 1t and might need 1t. So
he put 1t back. He was methodical

had found it. He was not many days
older when he received letter proving
by the very hair he had SO dexterously
caught and conscientiously replaced

A VERY CURIOUS BIRD.
The One Young Mark Twain Sprung
Upon the ScIentIsts.

Upon the Scientists.
Mark Twaln'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 1t was the custom
to have a consultation. Mark had been
a 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 1t occurred
to him to provide the Hannibal orni-
biologists with a real circus In the
form of a bird. He killed a crow and
also barnyard rooster. Plucking 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 1t to him,
said:
Here father. Is a very curious bird

ested In It,"
The old gentleman gazed upon the
bDttlultu Win hat
evening the ornlthologists of Hannibal
were assembled In Mr.. 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
offshoot of the bird of paradise fam

Russ House, San Francisco, Has Been
Completely Modernized.


Within the past year there has been a
great demand made by those visiting the
city for accommodations that have a SEM
blance to their home surroundings. Real
izing this want, Colonel j. s. Young of the
Russ House has gone to an expense of ov er
10000 to obtain the desired result. The
first step taken was to tear down the plas
tering in every room. Over 1000 loads of
old plastering were carted away before the
work of undermining the house was com
pleted. From one end of the hotel to the
other has been repapered and repainted
while new furnishings are to be seen on
every hand. The building now contains
twenty-one suites of rooms which have pri
vate bath adjoining and over 300 other
rooms for those who wish for less preten-
tious accommodations. The new plumbing
is of the most modern and sanitary kind.
and has been inspected by the local health
authorities, who have given their indorse-
ment to it, as being the most complete in
the city. An electric service is now in use
throughout the building, while every room
is supplied with hot and cold water. The
iocksmith has visited all the doors and put
on new locks of the most improved pattern
These locks have set bolt which can only
be opened from the inside.
The Russ House is famous for the good
table it sets. In fact, many of the business
men who have offices in the insurance dis
trict are to be seen at the noon hour in the
dining room. A visit to the kitchen shows
that none of the Oriental races are en-
ployed, and there is cleanliness that
speaks we'll for the thoroughness of the
management. This part of the hotel is so
situated that it is by itself, and there is no
chance OF the odor of cooking being found
outside its doors. In fact, the Russ House
is one of the most modern hotels in the city
and the latest TO be thoroughly renovated.
II is an ideal place at which TO stop. Every
thing is congenial, and one feels at home
the moment he passed. the front doors.--S.

Frogs a. scavengers.

Frogs are fine scavengers, destroying
great quantities of decaying animal
substance In springs and brooks and
keeping the water pure, thus proving
themselves most worthy of kind treat
ment and preservation. They devour.
too. great numbers of insects, includ-
ing flies and mosquitoes. In spite
their queer shape, they are remarka ;
expert jumpers and swimmers, and
many a boy has learned from them
both how to play leapfrog and how to
swim.
