A man once started a magazine

He said, by the world it shall TOW be

That genius at last is ripe"
And he tried to answer queries strange
That came to him day by day;

He studied the tariff question,
And recipes for pie; .-, : 49, -
He predicted when sun spots would ar

And tried to explain just why.
He printed the ages of actresses
And earnestly sought to say
Why steel felt a shock in its common
stock
And what would make chickens lay.
He toiled from dawn to twilight,
And still he toiled on in dreams:
He wrote sweet sOnnets on viOletS
And concocted subscription schemes.
And when his funeral came at last
They were sorry to see him go.
Subscribers declared there were several
things
They would really like to know,
Such as, what was King Pharaoh's in
come?
And what was his favorite tune?
And how many fruit cans stood on end
Would reach from here to the moon?
And how to make lobster salad
And rescue a dog from fees,
And just what to do with lover untrue
And how to prepare green peas!

BIRD AND MAN.

With Former the Male Wears Gay
Clothes, Whilc-You Know How 1t Is.
Courtship exists among birds as well
as among human beings. and in both
cases forms one of the most serious and
necessary businesses of life; but there
is at least one remarkable difference.
While among human beings women
sport the gayer and more gorgeous
costume in order to attract the other
sex. among birds the rule is reversed,
and 1t is the males who are arrayed
in the brighter and gayer plumage, and
who take every opportunity Of show
ing off to the best advantage before
the birds they wish to mate with.
In the case Of the blue ay, for in
stance, the male lover will perch few
inches away from his enslaver, and at
tempt to bewitch her with the sweet
ness of his song. His low, soft warble
is clever piece Of love-pleading,
which ought to soften the most Oh
durate heart, but the female is coy and
flouts him. Coming nearer, and slight
ly elevating and quivering his wings,
he bows in front of her, all the while
pleading in an impassioned manner,
and then, raising himself, puffs out
his breast and stalks in front of her.
His song then takes a more yirile
strain, and he boasts of his prowess
in the fields. Anon he turns his back
and calls her attention to his beautiful
blue coat, and this invariably proves
effective, and the fair one is won.
The courting of the peacock is not
so pleasing in voice. but he proceeds
much in the same way in the plumage
argument. He spreads out his majestic
tail to its greatest extent, and. holding
his head far back, strolls round in a
circle SO as best to display its beauties

A Meeting of "Grafter,."


Perry Heath bobbed up serenely at
the meeting of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, with the hearty ap-
proval of Senator Hanna and the good
wishes of all the grafters in the G. O.
p. The warm welcome that Heath re-
ceived at the hands of the committee
and the Congressional friends of the
grafters shows that, although there has
been partial investigation of the post
Office frauds the idea that loot IS n
perquisite for Republican Officeholders
is still dominant in the minds of the
Republican. leaders. President Roose-
welt, who at first was opposed to Heath
holding the high official place of Secre-
tary of the committee. by acceeding to
HannaiS demand for. his retention. will
make the average voter conclude that
the spoilsmen have complete control of
the Republican national organization
Nor was this continuance in the office
Of Secretary the only honor that was
thrust upon Heath. He represented
Minnesota by proxy in the delibera-
tions of the committee. President
Roosevelt, it is said. claims that the
question of dealing with Heath belongs
to the National Committee and not to
him. but as President and head of the
party, he could have requested that
Heath be set aside for someone not
smirched with the postoffice scandals.
1t will not be drawing card with the
honest Republican voters when they
understand their candidate for Presi-
dent did not stOutly object to the eleva-
tiOn Of Heath as-one-of the pillars of
the party temple. Mr.. Bristow must
feel that his work Of exposing Repub-
lican rascals has received a severe set
back and the cause of good government
a jolt that will undo the laborous work
of his Investigation if those like Heath,
who only escaped indictment by the
saving grace of the statute of limita-
e4ns, are put forward as the highest
products Of Republicanism.
