Among the unpublished traditions 4
army circles Of many years ago. there
is one that Is worth handing down to
coming generations. A certain major
had been appointed to the command
Of an army post on a small island not
a great way from San Francisco. Soon.
after his arrival there a French fleet
dropped anchor in the harbor. The
commander invited him aboard the
flagship, and entertained him royalty.
The idea struck the worthy major the
next day that he was IA honor bound
to return the compliment and invite the
officers Of the fleet to come ashore and
share his hospitality, but he was stag
gered by the consideration Of the ex-
pense involved. To give a banquet be-
fitting his dignity as a United States
omcer entertaining distinguished rep
resentatiYes OF a foreign nation would
mean bankruptcy, as the government
had not authorized him 10 draw on It's
treasury for such a purpose, and the
cost Of the afair would have to come
out OF his own pocket. A bright
thought struck him. He invited the
naval visitors to be his guests the third
day thereafter at an American pic
mic" Then he sent Invitations to the
best people OF the neighborhood to
Join him IN a basket picnic" at a cer-
tain grove near at hand on the same
day, ITO meet our French naval friends
now on our shores" Tho people came
with great baskets and hampers Of
provisions. A royal feast was spread
In the grove. and the picnic Is reniem-
bered even yet as one Of the most nota-
bic social successes Of It's time. But
the French visitors never learned Of
the ruse by which the major estab-
Iiahed a reputation as a prince Of en-
teftainera-Youths Companion.

Her fresh firm voice had a penetrating

She was so pure, 70 sweet, It was
as II a perfume OF candour disengaged

1t acts as a fine ventilator in connec-
ton with the open window. Should

allow yourself to become chilled. Mod

Present Distribution Of rhia Nimblo BIRD
n me United states.
The agricultural department has ~
Gently printed a map showing the ex-
tent OF country now occupied BY the
English sparrow. Il has been multi
plying with marvellous rapidity and Is
now found In most parts Of the coun-
try. Only three states montana,
Nevada and Wyoming) and three ter
ritorieg ALASKA, Arizona and New
Mexico )are free from the sparrow. It
is found in California both north and
south Of San Francisco. in the valleys
of the Sacramento and San Joaquin
rivers, and along the coast. II Is scat

Columbia river and Puget sound. 10
has spread all over the eastern half Of
the country from North Dakota TO the
Mississippi delta. It has, however,
avoided the sandy region Of Florida
and Is not found to any extent IA our
most densely wooded areas. AS might
be expected, It has given our vast
semi-arid region q wide berth, though
q large colony has settled in the fer
tile agricultural region around Salt
Lake City. It Is only hfty-one years
since the English sparrow was first
introduced into this country by a gem
tleman of Brooklyn who sought a
remedy for the worms that were de-
stroying the trees Of that town. The
sparrow has a keen appetite for
worms. In the course Of time the In
jury done to the trees by worms was
largely abated through this little bird.
So 1t became quite a fad to import
sparrows from Europe and turn them
loose in our towns. A thousand birds
were sent to Philadelphia In a single
lot. Many birds also were distributed
far and wide from the colonies already
started. Thus everything was done to
help the sparrow to increase and re-
plenish this part Of the world. I'm
doubtedly the sparrow has destroyed a
great many tons of worms. But the
remedy has proved worse than the
disease. Perhaps the worms have been
held in check to some extent; but we
have a great many more sparrows
than we have use for. They destroy
fruit and grain, dishgure buildings in
cities and towns, drive away other
birds, and in fact are ~nuisances. The
dear little sparrow has come to be re-
garded as the worst Of the feathered
pests. Efforts to exterminate 1t are
now making in this country, but it is
too late. The sparrow has been ma
turalized and he is here to stay. I'LL
nois, Michigan, Ohio and Utah In the
past few years have paid out many
thousands Of dollars in the bounties
offered for its destruction, but no one
has yet observed any diminution in
the number Of birds.-New York Sun.

ueinr the Story Of n Cleveland Amateur
Photographic
There IS o West Side boy who IS quite
daft on the subject of photography,
says the Cleveland plaindealer. He
isn't satisfied with the mere taking Of
pictures-anybody can train n camera
on q scene or a sitter-but he aims
at securing novel effects, something
out Of the common u Of subjects. At
times this leads him into unpleasant
predicaments-though there is nobody
like your devoted camera field for
wriggling out Of trouble; and s0me-
times Il Is unpleasant for the other fell
low.
One evening not long ago he planned
q surprise for his brother. Incidental
~ he meant to secure his portrait un-
der circumstances that perhaps have
never been exactly duplicated
Usually he retires at n reasonably
early hour, but this evening he was IN
no hurry. He waited until his brother
was IN bed and presumably asleep,
and then he stole up to their room with
his camera and a load OF hashlight
powder.
He listened for q moment to his
brothers. regular breathing, and then
he quietly planted his apparatus and
prepared for action.
When all was IN readiness he sud
denly let out a wild war whOop, and
as his startled brother rose in terror
he touched or the hashlight and snap
ped the scene.
It may be imagined that the victim,
when he had quieted down his trem-
bling nerves, ives determined to ham
mer the photographer good and plenty,
but, as usual, the scamp escaped.
he calls his picture 1.-THE Sleeper
Awakened and thinks it Is one Of the
