Crow and poa Good Friends.

There is a large Newfoundland dog
and a crow in Ridley Park at Chester.
Pa, that are on speaking terms with
each other. The crows name is Jim.
and the dog, a handsome animal, is
Rover. Both are owned by Julius G.
Smith, head landscape gardener for
the Pennsylvania Railroad company.
When Mr. Smith first took the bird
home, the crow espied Rover. and
flew from it's new masters hand and
lit on the dogs back. At once there
seemed to be a mutual understanding
between dog and bird. the former
"bow-wowing" in affectionate manner
and the latter "caw-cawing" and re
turning the caresses Of it's new friend
by stroking Rover's back with its
| beak. jim and Rover seem to thor
aughly understand each other, and are
generally found together.

Money Frozen in tee.

Leon Wallace OF 2l5 Oliver street,
Baltimore, carried home $45 In green
backs. which were imbedded IN >
twelye-pound cake of ice that he got
from q free ice distributing bureau.
It. was a dirty chunk of ice, but those
who get their supply free don't stop
10 insist that their allowance shall
first be washed with a hose: so Leon
took his gift home. When the ice
was washed the money could be seen,
but It looked like . lump OF dirt or
stone. and the boy decided to cut 1t
out. He chopped the frozen cake into
pieces and the roll of bills fell out.
Icons mother saw that the boy
had made a find. She tried to sep
arate the bills but they were frozen
tightly together. The lump was
placed over steaming teakettle and
the VS. and KS were soon counted out.
until $45 lay before the astonished
woman, with an extra dollar bill for
good measure Leon had pie. ice
cream and watermelon for supper.

est performers upon that Instrument.
His audience last night was charm
ed with the way in which he played
and with the rare tone of the instru-
ment upon which he rendered the Sc
lections. The other soloists, Louise
st. John Westervelt, soprano, and
Harriet Johnson, pianiste. were
equally well received. The former
proved a great favorite. Her voice
is strong and sweet and cultivated in

sonality and culture add much to her
success when appearing in concert.
