the concern which Bismarck always
 gave for the special benefit of his mouse.
 The policeman on the beat. long after
 Herman had gone to his home, would
 stop and look in at the mouse, listening
 in rapture to the singing of the bsrd.
 What made 1t more remarkable was that
 before the coming of the mouse Bis
 marck' had never sung a note after the
 sun had set and dusk had come down
 over the town. It was an object lesson in friendship to all sorts of people. One morning Herman came down ear Her than usual to open up his bar. He had turned out the gaslight, unlocked the cash register, and had begun to pol ish the top of the bar when he happened to glance over at ''Bismarck's" cage. 'Donnervetter,"- he said, as his eyes opened wide. On the floor of the cage lay the body of poor little Bismarck. His wings lay close to his body and his feathers were not rumpled. Only there was a ghastly wound in the top of his head and the brains had been eaten. "Dat's de mouse's york;" said Herman. An I thought dey was such good friends"
 Clinging to the edges of the mouse's hole in the window case were few tiny bits of yellow feathers.
 To his regular customers Herman preached a sermon.
 'Dere- are plenty of men in de -vorldt,' he said, "jest like dot mouse. You gives dem half you have to eat an bees good friends init dem, an dey will hit you mid a piece of lead pipe when dey gets good ] chanst.

TRAGEDY OF A WINDOW.
Murder of Canary by Mouse Led
 to Prompt Justice.

to frompC JuStlce'
 Chicago Tribune.
 Across the wide front window of the little German saloon ran a sash curtain about three feet high. Originally 1t had been bright green, but it had faded to a dirty yellow. fy-specked and spotted. Inside the floor was covered with sand, and behind the bar stood big, fat, smil- ing German saloonkeeper, with red face and a hugh yellow mustache. He had brought with him to this country 8 lot of Hartz mountain canary birds and great love for all kinds of animals and birds. When he rented his little place he hung up bird cage in the front window right at the top of the sash curtain. where the splendid yellow singer could get the bene- fit of the warm sunshine.
 Behind his bar and on little brackets all about the room, Herman, the Hartz mountain man. put their cages with squir- re1s and other animals in them or fas- tened up stuffed raccoons and other tro- phies of his hunting.
 But Herman's especial pride was the big canary in his front window. He call | ed it Bismarck" and he boasted that there was not another bird in the city which could sing as sweetly. When l Bismarck sang with more than usual | loudness and abandon Herman declared it a sure sign of pleasant weather coming l ana when -'blSmdTCh SdI IlOplnE OH HIS | perch, with feathers ruffied.

 stopped eating and looked up. As the
 bird continued it ran over to the outside edge of the cage, where 1t could get the
 best view of the singer, and sat up on its hind legs.
 "Music hath charms" Herman quoted
 to himself with smile
 Presently the bird stopped singing
 when the mouse immediately went bacl
 to it's eating. In few minutes it haC
 got enough and, after taking a farewell
 look at the bird jumped down again tC
 the window curtain and ran swiftly bacl
 to its hole in the window frame.
