your word of honor that Tige killed
your sheep, he must die"
Joey gave a great sob and rushed
out of the house, into the barn, where
he threw himself onto the hay, and
cried as though his heart would break.
Tige was about to follow, when Uncle
David caught him and held him. He
said to his wife Bring me my gun
from the entryway, if it's got to be
done, it might as well be done now"
81 won't do any such thing, David
Cram, it's burning shame Tige new
er killed those sheep any more than
did"
Uncle David then led Tige out Of
doors and tied him to a post, then
went back to the house for his gun.
At the sight of the gun Tige crouched
down and whimpered and begged,
while his heart beat wildly Uncle
David shut his mouth firmly, looked
down the barrel of the gun, and had
just raised it to his shoulder, when a
child, breathless from running, came
screaming into the yard
"Oh, wait a minute-Father-Un

HOW TO SEE BIRDS.

When in the woods spending the
day, l have heard persons say, isn't
1t strange, know there are a great
many birds about, but see very few;
| have walked all through the woods
and | do not understand why l can
not find them" 1 have followed just
after these same people, and after
they had passed on, quietly sat down
on a log and waited. Soon some low
quick notes came from overhead, snd
warbler or a vireo begins search of
leaf and twig for insects and their
eggs or young. Not a leaf OF tiny
bud escapes their scrutiny as they fit
from branch to branch. AS long as
any one was moving about beneath
them they remained perfectly quiet, to
escape notice.
This is very common habit of all
wild life in nature; indeed, it is prob
ably one of the frst lessons which they
learn. The tiny young partridge will
crouch close to the ground and remain
motionless at the warning call of its
mother. Little pigs at the startled
grunt Of the old SOW will lie fiat and
even drop their pointed little ears, un-
til she says all right. The all right is
soft, satisfied grunt, which is very
different from the warning grunt. The
moment an animal becomes notion
less, the chances of detection are very
slight; and this is especially true Of
our birds where the coloring usually
harmonizes with their surroundings.
Practically all the best work l have
done in watching the habits of our
birds has been accomplished by going
to place frequented by them and
then remaining perfectly quiet

One of the most ludicrous mis-
takes made by the telegraph was
caused by the tOss of single dot in
a telegram from Brisbane to a Lon
don news agency. AS it reached Lon
don it read: Governor general twins
first son." which the news agency
"edited" ana sent around to the pa
pers in the following form: Lady
Kennedy, the wife of Sir Arthur Ken
nedy, governor general of Queens
land, yesterday gave birth at Gov
ernment House, Brisbane, to twins,
the first born being a son." The tela-
gram was published by most of the
newspapers in London ana tbe prov
inces, and caused an unexpected sem
sation. Sir Arthur's friends pointed
out with conclusive force that some
one had blundered, as there never was
q Lady Kennedy. Sir Arthur being a
bachelor. The repeat message, which
followed, read: "Governor general
turns first Sod" referring to a rail-
way ceremony.-San Francisco Ar

Cocoanut Pudding.

The most delicious cocoanut pudding
is of the white cocoanut. 1t is baked
in individual cups, each one holding
about gill. The meat of good sized
cocoanut, grated fresh, should be used
for this pudding, no. dried cocoanut.
Add a cupful of the milk of the cocoa
nut and the whites of six eggs, beaten
with half a pound of granulated SUI
gar. Put in a pinch of salt, beat well,
and stir in two cupfuls of milk and
one cupful of cream. Season it, if you
wish, with grating of orange peel,
though it is not necessary, and the
pudding will not be so pure in color
if it is used. Butter and dredge the
cups with sugar before filling them.

ENGLIsHMAN's IDEA OF FREEDOM.

Several years ago a young English
man came over on his first visit to
America, and wherever he went he
never ceased to express his enthusiasm
over the perfect freedom enjoyed by
the citizens of this favored republic,
while the simplicity of rulers and the
absence of guards amazed him beyond
measure.
While in Washington he was partic
ularly impressed with the lack of re-
straint around the White House, and
the fact that he was permitted to roam
at will over the grounds without
showing credentials or passes.
81 dare say" he remarked, chat in
this wonderful country a fellow could
go into the grounds and roll around
on the grass without any objection by
the authorities"
His American friend assured him
that it was quite possible, and smiling
ly advised him to try the experiment.
The friend tells the sequel:
"He looked at me a minute and then
walked into the White House grounds.
There was a crowd there, but no one
paid the least attention to him. He
went out on the lawn right in front of
the main entrance to the building and
lay down fiat on his back. Then he
rolled over three times, slowly and de-
liberately, after which he got up and
walked out of the grounds as happy
as if he had found ten dollars"
"No one looked at him and no one
spoke to him; to roll over on the
White House lawn might have been
the proper thing to do for aught that
appeared The Englishman said that
il he had acted in that way in any of
the capitals on the other side he would
have been locked up as dangerous
character He was very proud of his
exploit and suppose he is still telling
the story Of it in England. youths s

A Sigh for the Old Inukeeppr,

There are times when the frequent.

and hustle and take his ease in the
old way, in some place where there
would be no crowd, no obsequious
servants, no extravaganza in dress,
no gilded furniture. no vast parlors
filled with gossips, no office encum-
bered with bags and trunks and chok-
ing with cigar smoke, no gaudy bar,
no arc lights, no clanking steam pipes
or brassy furnaces, no dining room
where one is supposed to eat in state.

will be increased to its full strength of

nounced that the companies of cavalry
would contain 90 instead of So enlisted

of the troops shall be stationed in the

large force will be needed there for some

BANKERS FOUND DEAD.
Cashier and President of Vancouver
Institution Commit Suicide

VANCOUVER, Wash, April %
Charles Brown and +. l.. Candy. presi-
dent and cashier respectively of the
First National bank of Vancouver. which
was closed Saturday by the comptroller
of the currency, committed suicide two
miles from this city 10y shooting them
selves with n revolver Their bodies were
found yesterday morning lying together
in a small clump of bushes. Both used
the same weapon. and Candy evidently
died first, as the revolver was found in
Browns hand. Each put the muzzle Of
the revolver in his mouth and blew the
top of his head off.
Candy. upon being told by Bank Ex-
aminer !. w. Maxwell on Friday even
ing that the bank would not be permitted
to open Saturday, went out in the yard
behind the bank and attempted to shoot
himself. His revolver failed to explode.
After failing TO shoot himself Candy
came back into the bank, and he and
President Brown left together taking
the revolver. When Examiner Maxwell
confronted the bank officials with the
shortage of SS1 900. both men admitted
their guilt. 1t is said that Brown and
Candy had been specializing in stocks.
