WHAT A BOY CAN DO.

Nixon Waterman, in The Christian Endeavor World.
These are some Of the things boy do:
He. can shout loud the air turns blue;
He make all sounds of beast and bird,
And thousand more they never heard.
He cackle, chirp cuck, l
Till he fools the rooster hen, duck,
He mock the dog or lamb COW,
And the cat herself can't beat his ''me-ow."
He has sounds that ruffled striped, plain;
He can thunder by like a railway train,
Stop at the stations breath, and then
Apply the steam and be off again.
He has all of his powers In such command
He turn right into full brass band
With all Of the instruments ever played,
And march away street parade.
You can tell that boy is very ill
If he's wide awake and is keeping still;
But earth would be-God bless their noise!-
A dull old place If there were no boys.

DEATH WAS SUDDEN.
of the Demise OF the Late
VIM. Van 0strand

Delta Enterprise: William n. Van
Ostrand died very suddenly Tuesday
morning of heart disease. He had
been in his usual good health Monday
and took supper with one of his chill
dren, retired as usual and slept well
all night. In the morning fixed the
fire and returned to bed. In short
time his wife heard a sigh from him
and asked what was the matter, he
replied that he was chilly. She spoke
to him again after trying to make him
comfortable and getting no answer
spoke again. Then she looked to see
what was the matter and discovered
he was dead. Mr.. Van Ostrand was
IS years old and had lived in Delta IL
years. He was one eleven children
aud tha tenth TO die of heart disease.

QUEER CAUSE FOR ANGER.
A Busy Lawyer Got Mad Because He

Thousand Dollars.

Attorney General Knox, while a
practicing attorney, was one of the
busiest lawyers in America. A few
years ago he was much put out be-
cause he had to accept fee of $780,
900. A friend met him as he was
leaving the Office, and he was swear
ing mad, relates the Washington
Post. He was quivering with vexa-
ton and swearing with piratical
vigor.
What's It all about this time?"
asked the friend, who was used to
his ways, and not much concerned
over the outburst.

the cottage with James, the gardener.
On arriving at the scene they found
the building had indeed been entered.
Almost all the rooms showed signs of
a robber. The bureau drawers had
been rifed and things strewn about.
In the next to the last room on the
second floor was found a large bag,
packed with all sorts of valuable trink-
cts, and other articles were lying
about the floor, as if the intruder, who
ever he was, had beat hasty retreat.
The cause of this precipitate fight
was soon made manifest by the sud-
den cutlery of the parrot in the next
room.
sect out of here! Get out of here!"
screamed the bird.
Polly was discovered in an exceed
ingly ruffled state, and his loud sect
out of here!" had evidently done the
work.
Outside the building was a ladder
leaning against one of the back win
dows. The burglar had entered and
gone through all the rooms, taking
whatever he could from each one, till
the next to the last was reached.
At this point, it is supposed, Polly
heard the strange footsteps, for he
was well acquainted with the step
of everyone who lived in the building,
and cried out in alarm, and by some
happy chance happened to strike upon
the phrase: sect out of here!"
The birds voice was very human,
and even the inmates of the cottage
had often mistaken it for that of a
human being. Therefore it is not to
be wondered that burglar had been
misled by the voice and fed.
On summing up the loss, it was
found that only few dollars worth
of trinkets were missing, and that the
bird had been the means of prevent.
ing the theft of perhaps many hun.
dreds of dollars worth of jewelry.

A HUNTING TRAGEDY
Boy Shot the Father He Adored In
stead of Deer.
Fatal Mistake of Roy De Hans While
Pursuing Big Game Out of Sea-
SOMEHOW His Mind May
Give Way.

The saddest boy in all Pennsylvania,
and the boy most to be pitied, is 13-
year-old Roy De Haas, of Two Mile
Run, who few weeks ago shot his
father in mistake for a deer. His
6ve-hour vigil over his dying parent
in a deep woods five miles from any
human habitation, his grief at the
awful deed he had committed, and
his exposure that bitter cold day have
turned the lad from a cheerful, healthy
youth, to creature with sunken eyes
and cheeks.
The boy has told the story of the
shooting over and over. 1t appears
to relieve his mind to tell the tale to
new listeners. He was anxious that
day to shoot the buck which he and
his father knew had its browsing
grounds along Two Mile run, and
when they ran on to 'signs" of the
game his father told him that he
might stand on watch while he HIM
self would take the trail and drive
the deer out of cover. Stationing him
self on a stump, the boy, gun in hand,
waited nervously and eXcitedly for
the first glimpse of the deer. A half
hour passed, and then he heard a
twig break in the laurel just beyond,
less than a rod away. An instant later
he saw something gray shaking about
in the bushes. He waited no longer.
He pulled his gun to his shoulder and
fired. The instant his finger pressed
the trigger the object in the bushes
came into better view, and he was hor-
rified to see the face of his father.
But it was only for one instant, for
at the crack of the gun the heavy
charge of buckshot intended for the
deer had sped across the open, and
Joseph De Haas sank to the ground.
When Roy reached him where he lay
the blood was oozing from a wound

GET OUT OF HEREv'
Parrots Cry Scares Burglar Away
from Girls School.
wntchfuIness of Old Bird Prevented
the Theft of Much Valuable
Property-How Polly Gave
the Alarm.

Not far from this city, out in Con-
necticut, says the New York Sun, is
girls boarding school which includes
a number of small cottages used by the
teachers and older pupils as dorml-
tories. In one of these is kept par
rot, the mascot and private property
of the senior class.
Pully is a very old bird. In fact, he
is almost as old as the seminary it,
self, and many are the classes, long
since graduated, whose cheer Polly
has learned and can recite to this very
day.
But cheers are not his only accom-
plishment, for every class has taught
him some phrase or other, so that in
all these years he has amassed
large vocabulary, composed mostly OF
such words as the popular name for
caoutchouc, and other schoolgirl
slang.
The entire school assemblies for
meals in the main building. This GUS
tom leaves the smaller cottages prac-
tically ungarded during mealtime. As
nothing was ever stolen, the girls grad
ually became more and more lax in
locking the doors and windows.
One day last week, when the board
ers were all enjoying their midday
meal, a violent screeching and yelling
was heard from the nearest cottage,
that in which the parrot was kept.
One of the girls suggested that a stray
cat had got into the house and was the
cause of the cutlery.
At this one of the teachers volun-
teered to investigate. In few mo-
ments she returned, breathless and ex-
cited, announcing that the cottage had
been entered by burglars, and was at
that very moment being robbed.
For an instant panic reigned among
the pupils, but it was Immediately
quelled by the principal. She directed
one of the teachers to telephone for
the police, while she went over to

A LOAF CENTURIES OLD.
1t Was Found i'm n Cave-Dwelling In
Arizona and Is Now in q
Museum.

A notable recent contribution to the
archaeological museum of the Uniyer-
sity of Arizona is loaf of bre Id found
in cave dwelling in the Superstition
mountains of central Arizona in 1879,
and since that time in the possession of
Herbert Brown, superintendent of the
territorial prison, says a Tuscon re-
port.
The loaf is undeniably bread, and
without doubt is of great age. It was
found embedded in the ashes wherein
1t was baked probably hundreds or per-
haps thousands of years ago. 1t had
very plainly been wrapped in cloth or
mat, and the marks of the fiber of the
cloth are visible in the dark, brick-like
mass. Mr.. Brown is,of the opinion that
the bread was made of mesquite beans,
roughly ground in metates by the
aboriginal housewives of centuries ago.
With II was found a store of ancient
sacrifcial implements, stone axes and
arrowheads. The loaf has been steri,-
lied by the curator of the museum, and
has been sealed within glass jar.

in the side of his head, near the ear,
and another of the shots had gone
through his body above the left breast.
All be could say was: Roy, you've
made mistake"
The boy, beside himself with ex-
element and grief, began shouting
for help; the only answer to his cries
were the echoes that were flung back
at him from out the deep hemlock
wood close by. The shooting occurred
shortly after ~ o'clock, and it was
five o'clock that evening before Ed
ward Summerson and Albert Calhoun,
two men who had been trailing Lear
up at the headwaters of the creek,
heard the lads hoarse cries for help.
They fired an answering shot, and in
a moment two shots came in reply,
the boy firing the shots from his IA
theirs Winchester rifle. Then when
the men came nearer, and could un-
derstand the boys words, they were
startled at the message: "Pye shot
my father, and he is dying!" They
found the lad bareheaded, without
coat, and Invested of his mittens. All
these he had used to make a pillow
for his father. The latter was yet
breathing, but in less than an hour
after the men arrived the vital spark
had fed.
And Roy was pitiable object. He
was half dead from exposure, and the
men feared that he, too, would be a
corpse before they could get him to
shelter. He had tried to make fire
that he might prolong the life of his
father. He had but three matches,
and all these were extinguished by
the wind before the kindling he whit
tied was ignited. 1t was then that he
forced his mittens over his dying
fathers stiffening fingers. He climbed
a tree that his shouts might penetrate
the deeper into the forest. Then he
discovered that by lifting his fathers
head the blood did not flow so fast,
and for an hour or more he sat there
weeping and gazing into his parents
face, the while holding his head upon
his knee.
When the men came back and built
fire the boy stood over it half dazed
from cold and grief and for awhile the
men looked at him and thought that
he had gone stark mad. He talked so
uueerly. But at last he was able to
help at building stretcher of poles
upon which his fathers corpse could
be carried through the woods, and
when in the darkness the sad little
procession started out of the forest
Roy walked ahead carrying huge
torch of pine in one hand and the four
guns of the party under the other
arm.
All these scenes that go to make up
the sad story of the tragedy young
De Haas now reviews. He has changed
from youthful lover of the hunt TO
a hater of firearms, and 1t is feared
that his brooding over the awful ac-
cident may yet impair his mind.
