was greatly surprised to see a robin
lying on his back evidently dead, being
rapidly pulled round and round by an
other bird Of the same species.
The naturalist at once came to the
conclusion that he had come in time
to witness the end of deadly en-
counter, and that the live robin was
indulging in the cruel triumph Of drag
ging his victims lifeless body over the
stones.
But he was mistaken, for suddenly
the live bird went down upon his back,
his wings and legs were stiffened, and
he gave every appearance of being
dead, while the other robin who had
been shamming death hoped on his
legs and proceeded to serve his COM

done him. Finally the two birds new

origin of the Clearing House.

In 1875 the bankers of London rented
a house in Lombard street and fitted it
with tables and desks for the use Of
their clerks as a place where bills,
notes, drafts and other commercial pa
per might be exchanged without the
trouble of personal visits of employees
to all the metropolitan banks. Trans
fer tickets were used, and by means Of
this simple plan transactions involving
many millions were settled without
penny changing hands. The Bank or
England and every other important
bank in London are members of the
Clearing House association. The first
clearing house in the United States
was established by the associated

Happy Thought of u Man In Fix.
An operator for a western railroad
who had served his company long and
we'll was called into the office one day
and asked if he thought he could hold
down the job of night dispatcher. He
promptly replied that he could and was
told to report for duty that night, and
his chief instructed him in what he
was to do Just after the chief left the
office it began to blow and snow, and
the trains commenced to run late. The
new night dispatcher soon had develop
ed a bad case Of "rattles" and almost
cried. He did not want an accident,
and he could not handle the trains. 80
q happy thought struck him. AS fast
as a report came in he replied, directing
the conductor to take siding ana
wait for orders, and it was not great
while until he had every train on the
division sidetracked. Then he took q
book, lighted his pipe and sat down to
wait for daylight. In the morning the
chief appeared with anxiety written all
over his face.
"Any accidents, Johnny" asked the
chief.
'Not an accident. I've got 'em all
on the sidetrack, showed in and wait
ing for orders, and you will have to
get 'em out. I am going to blow this
job" It took the chief and his force
nearly all day to get the trains straight
ened out and traffic resumed on the
road.-Indianapolis News.
