Not a Spring Bird

The swan is said to be excellent eat.
ing when young, but as 1t is one of
the longest lived OF all creatures, II is
well to learn, If possible, how old your
bird is before you cook II.
A gentleman in Lincolnshire, Eng.
land, sent a dead swan to the Athen.
aeum Club, addressed to the Secre.
tary. A special dinner was to occur
that week and the committee without
question turned the bird over to the
cook
At the dinner the swan, resting on
a great silver dish, was delight to
the eye, but, when 1t came to carving
and eating the bird, no knife seemed
sharp enough to cut ii, and, of course,
eating 1t was out of the question.
A few days later the donor met the
Secretary and said: Il hope you got
my swan all right"
That was nice joke you played on
us" returned the Secretary.
Joke? What do you mean?"
why, we had the thing boiled for
thirteen hours and even then we might
as well have tried to cut through the
Rock OF Gibraltar"
you don't mean to say you had the
swan cooked?"
why. of course"
Man alive!' sent II to be stuffed
and preserved as curiosity in the
club. That swan has been In my fam.
lily for $50 years. 1t was one of the
identical birds fed by the children OF
Charles I.-you've seen the picture OF
it. My ancestor held the post OF
master of the swan and keeper of the
Kings cygnets.' Well, | have no
doubt 1t was bit tough"

Sturgeon Corrects

One day the Mayor of Cambridge,
who had tried to curb Mr.. Surgeons
tendencies to sensatlonalism, inquired
of him II he had really told his congre.
cation that, II thief got into heaven,
he would begin picking the angels
pockets.
"Yes. sir" the young preacher re-
piled. Il told them that, II 1t were
possible for an ungodly man to go 10
heaven without having his nature
changed, he would be none the better
for being there; and then, by way of
Illustration, / sad that, were a thief
to get in among the glorifed, he would
remain a thief still and he would go
around the place picking the angels
pockets!"
But, my dear young friend" asked
the Mayor seriously, don't you know
that the angels haven't any pockets"
mo, sir replied young Sturgeon
with equal gravity, 81 did not know
that, but am glad to be assured OF
the fact from gentleman who does
know. | will take care to put 1t all
right the first opportunity get"
The next Monday morning Sturgeon
walked into the Mayors place OF bust
ness and said to him cheerfully: II
set that matter right yesterday, sir.
What matter?" he inquired.
why, about the angels pockets
What did you say?"
"Oh, sir, Just told the people | was
sorry to say that had made a mistake
the last time preached to them; bat
that had met gentleman-the Mayor
of Cambridge-who had assured me
that the angels had no pockets, 80 |
must correct what had said, as l did
not want anybody to go away with a
false notion about heaven. | would,
therefore, say that, If a thief got
among the angels without having his
nature changed he would try to steal
the feathers out of their wings"

3 HIS GRATEFUL
z FIRST CLIENT

When Henry c. Smith OF
, Michigan started to practice law
he had as his first client negro
, and he won the case. The
hearing was before a local Mag.
, istrate, and the charge was
stealing a ring. AS his client
, had employment on farm out
, side the town where Smith first
, hung up his single, the young
lawyer is said to have taken the
, precaution of hiring a carriage
? and riding out to the farmer,
, where he secured promise of the
, negro's wages for a few days as
, his retainer.
II made an eloquent plea"
, said Mr.. Smith in recounting the
> proceedings Of that case. 81 did
) not fail to ring the changes on
D the downtrodden race, and all
! that sort OF thing, with the re.
D suit that my client went free.
Still, had a sort of lingering
. suspicion that the verdict was
) certainly all my man deserved,
. and when the case was over I
! wanted to be rid of him. He
. continued to haunt my office.
? "'Why don't you go out and
. chase around with the boys?'
? said finally, in some impotence.
. Deed, boss, | thought yo'
2 fee war too small, an I want
) yer to accept this ere ring
. "And the negro produced

. he had been supposed to have
o stolen"

GEN. HUGHES
GOOD SENTRY

Gen. Hughes, who has just re.
turned from the Philippines aft.
er a long stay, will tell you that
a simple private on sentry duty
is, for the time being, a greater
man than the wearer of stars.
And he learned this from an
Irish private of the volunteers.
The soldier was guardian over
captured Spanish stoTehouse,
and he had orders to pass no
one without a special order from
the Provost Marshal of Manila,
which position Gen. Hughes at
that time held. When the Pro.
vost Marshal drew near the
storehouse he beanie suddenly
aware that II he persisted in
moving forward he would i'm.
pale himself on triangular
Springfield bayonet.
Halt" cried a voice in rich
brogue. You can't go in there"
why not?" asked the Gen.
} eral.
"Niver mind" replied the pri.
, vate. II know me orders. You
, can't go in there without a lass
, from the Provost Marshal"
But I'm the Provost Marshal
, myself" said Gen. Hughes.
, II don't care If you're the Pres
: ident. Divil a foot do you set
, inside till you show me a pass"
: The General smiled, and
, drawing a memorandum from
2 his poket, scrubbed a few lines
) on leaf. He handed this to the
: sentry.
0 VERY well, sor." said the pri
> vate when he had carefully pc.
. rused the pass. But why the
: divil didn't you do that In the
D first place" 49, San Francisco
