dictionary borrowing rascal" cried he.
Mr.. Crow was astonished and he be-
came very angry when he found that
some one had been using his name in
order to steal things. 1T must have
been Mr.. Night Hawk" he said. Never
mind, I'll fix him. I never stole a
cuckoo cuock in my life"
1T would indeed have been more like
you to have kicked me out and taken
the whole house." said Mr.. Owl, and
he went home angrier than ever.
When the other birds heard that Mr.
Crow was going to fix Mr. Night
Hawk, they all came to him and prom
ised to pay him well if he would only
put a stop to Mr.. Night Hawks thiev-
ing. Mr.. Crow said that he would do
that if he wore out all of his shoes,
his gum boots and his carpet slippers
doing it, For a long time he spent ev-
cry day in searching for Mr.. Night
Hawk. but without ever catching a
glimpse of him. At last he came to
the conclusion that the only way to do
was to hunt at night when Mr.. Night
Hawk was in the habit of going about
robbing folks. Mr.. Crow was sitting
on his porch smoking his pipe when
he decided on this. and just then a big
fly lit on his knee. Mr.. Grow caught
it at once.
"Gracious!" said he, 81 never in my
life saw such big fly. l think you
would make a good cough drop" ana
he opened his mouth very wide.

me. 1 beg of you" cried the fly. my

Crow let him go.
The next night 1000 flies took out
their lanterns and helped Mr.. Grow

flies found him. Here he is, Mr..
Crow" they shouted; "here he is" and
Mr.. Night Hawk was so frightened
that he dropped the lace curtain and
flew away as fast as he could.
After that he could not go out any
where at night but some of the flies
carrying lanterns would see him and
shout: Here he is. Mr.. Crow" After
a while he ate all of mis- provisions, and
he had no chance to steal more with
Mr.. Grow looking for him in the day
time and the flies with lanterns look
ing for him at night. He had to stop
stealing altogether, and, as ne was too
lazy to work. he lived on fish which
he caught, diving into the water after
them. Then the birds changed his
name from Mr. Night Hawk TO Mr..
Fish Hawk, aud so he is called 70 this
day.

1.-THE BEST EVER"
Unprecedented Year Of Bust

Practically Every Industrial Branch
Has Shown a Great Advance.
With Minimum Of Friction in Bust

New York. Dec. 30.-Bradstreet's Re-
view of the business year. to be issued
Saturday next, will have the following
ITO say that 1902 was the best year
this country has ever experienced
while truthful enough in the main. does
not suggest fully the enormous strides
which the United States took in the
year just close. Practically every
branch of ordinary trade and manu-
facture showed an increase above the
best of previous years, and yet this
immense enlargement of output was
not sufficient of itself to satisfy the
growing, it might be termed the in
satiable demand for all kinds of ma
teriale,., f...
1nsinany cases the usual foreign
outlet for our products was, perforce
Neglected by American producers, who
confined their their efforts to supply
inE insistent domestic demands, while
in others foreign production was called
upon to reinforce domestic output, with
the result that new currents and cham
nels were created in our foreign trade.
Our export trade, therefore, shrunk,
while our imports expanded to unpre-
cedented figures.
THE railroads of the country, in
their efforts to handle the business Of
fered them, suffered as never before
from congestion and complaint of in
reference with production and dis
tribution of the products of the farm,
the mine. the shop and the loom was
practically universal.
industrial unrest was naturally
marked, as it always is in times either
Of prosperity or of depression, and seri-
Gus disorganization of some of the
countries basic industries resulted for
time. In many cases, however, re-
sort to extremes was avoided or rem
dered unnecessary by the liberal re-
cognition by employers of changes in
the standard Of living. and it is suf-
ficient to say that two men obtained
higher wages or had their working
time reduced without resort to strikes
for every one who actually quit work.
Speculation, it is true, felt the
checks imposed upon it by conserva-
tism, by short crops in the preceding
year, and last, but not least, by high
rates for money. but despite the fact
that stock market operations were
only about one-half those of 1901, bank
clearings, those usually reliable guides
of business. showed aggregates prac-
tically equal to the hitherto unheard Of
totals of 1901. All this was accom-
plished with a minimum of friction as
reflected in the form of business en-
barrasments."
