PET CROW MARKS THE TIME.
Mocks the Cuckoo as the Hours Are
Passing Swiftly BY.

FdSSinS OWliiiy n.y.
George Wreake of Sibley township.
near LIE Seur, Mimi, has pet crow,
Bob, which has been with him for fom
years and which he claims is the most
intelligent and useful bird living.
There is in the Wreake home an obi
heirloom, beautiful cuckoo clock.
brought from Switzerland in pioneer
days, one of the kind that have little
door at the top in front out of which
springs little bird every sixty min
utes and calls the hours with cue
koo" for each unit of the hour.
After the crow had been in the fam
lily about two years he began to mock
the clock cuckoo, and this finally grew
to be a passion with him, so that he
hardly ever failed to give a melodious
cav when the clock cuckoo was cali,
ing the hour. Some six months ago.
by reason of an accident to the shelf
on which it was standing, the clock
fell and the striking, or cuckoo, part
was completely broken, so the door
never opens and the bird never comes
out. This appeared to be a great puz
zle to Bob, for he watched the clock
for several days and seemed to be
studying deeply. At last, however. he
came to a conclusion and greatly
startled the family by taking up the
duty the cuckoo had previously per-
formed, and counting out the hours
perfectly at the exact moment with a
clear call of "caW" for each hour the
clock ought to have struck, one for
O'Clock, five for o'clock and so on
around the circle. He has kept I'D his
work to the present time and calls ev.
cry hour when he can see the face or
the clock as regularly and perfectly
as an ordinary timepiece with its ham,
mer and bell
Ii lamp is set at night where the
light falls on the face of the clock the
crow, though he will dose between
times on his perch, will waken and
call every hour all night long. More,
than this, if lamp be kept lighted and
a pin be thrust into the wooden face
OF the clock so that the minute hano
VIII pass over it but the hour hand
will catch on it and stop the clock at
any hour of the morning, between 4 and
z O'Clock, Bob will notice it as soon as
the clock stops and raise a shrill cav.
ing that is as good as an alarm clock.
and keep it up till some one gets up
and comes and removes the pin.-Min-

An hour later the major saw his
lordship into the brougham, which
was to take him to the hotel, only
five minutes distant, and. putting on
his own overcoat, he started to walk

THE NEWS OF SELMA
|, Advertisar Bureau.


 A prominent member of the Com mereial and Industrial Association said to The Advertiser correspondent last night, that he had recently spent a short time tn Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, an dnOted the splendid system of public roads there.
 Charlotte is the center of this good roads district which has nearly tbree hundred miles of the finest macada- nizsd turnpikes radiating there from.
 The building of these roads is car- ried out along the best and latest seinetific methods for road building' Continuing he said: talked to some of the most prominent as well as some of the citizens in the more humble walks of life and all of them were proud of their good roads and paid the small road tax cheerfully. The tax outside the city of Charlotte amounts to only one dollar a year, and within the city limits, the street and road tax combined Is three dollars and fifty cents a year,
 'srhe benefit derived from these roads is almost incaicuable. Farm lands that sold for sl5 per acre before the roads were built can not now be purchased for thirty dollars an acre. All other properties enhanced iu9 value along. the Soms ifheS' ana ' NAAAEtVt1e roads is almost incalculable. Farm thousand inhabitants is now a city of thirty thousand.
 If the people of that section of the country have derived SO much bene- fit from good roads there Is no req son why the people of this section of our state should not receive like ben- efits. by building good roads. I hope the day Is not distant when all citizens will realize the necessity for good country roads, and concerted action be taken to build them"
 The opening german of the Crescent Club at the Hotel Albert last night was not only one of the. most pIeasant but one of the most unique ever given by that popular club.
 It was led by Mir. Legrand Elebash and nIisam Cnrria Wilkins and fha
