THE ROBIN.
lie Is nm Adaptive Bird, but He
Doesn't Mix Mortar.


Doesn't Mix Mortar.
The robin Is Il very adaptive bird GER
tainly. 1t adjusts itself readily to new
conditions, but it falls far short of the
intelligence that is often ascribed to it.
Thus there are persons who seem to
believe that when mud is scarce the
robin will bring water in its beak TO
the dust of the road and so make the
mortar that il needs. This notion is. Of
course, absurd How could the robin
know that water and dust will make
mud? This knowledge is the result of
reflection and experiment and is not
within the reach of an animal. More
than that. if the robin could find the
water he could certainly find the mud
somewhere. | have known them to use
a substitute for mud furnished by the
cows.
Another equally absurd claim for the
robin comes from a correspondent. n
robin had her nest in a tree under his
chamber window i'm such a position
that he could see all that happened in
the nest. lie says that when the young
robins were nearly grown he saw the
mother bird take them, one by one, by
the nape OF the neck and hold them oJt
over the rim of the nest to teach them
to use their wings. ! suppose our
modern school of nature study" would
accept this statement without question.
1t is such preposterous natural history
as this that furnishes the stock in trade
of this school" Some persons deceive
themselves i'm what they think they
deliberate falsifiers.-JOhn Burroughs

The Imp Hoax.

This braZen imposture on the credu-
lily of the English public was the result
of n wager between the Duke of Mon
tague and another nobleman in 1913.
In discussing the amazing gullibilitJ
of the English people the former de-
clared that if one were to advertise il
well that he would jump into quart
bottle all London would go to see him
do it. The wager being made, an adj
vertisement was inserted in all of the
leading papers promising that the feat
would be performed on a certain date
at the Haymarket theater. On the ap-
pointed day the theater was packed
from pit to dome, and many hundreds
were turned from the doors. The sup
posed magician appeared on the stage
and had the temerity to state that if
the audience would pay double the
price he would enter Il pint bottle,
shown on the stage table, instead Of
the quart flask. as furnished. He then
hurriedly escaped by the stage door.
a riot resulted. in which the theater
was badly wrecked, and the duke and
his companion had to leave town until
the excitement was well over.

Naming "a Town.

Shortly after it was decided that a
postoflice was needed at the settlement
now known as Broken Bow the child
Of one of the settlers brought in from
his playground the shoulder blade of a
buffalo which contained imbedded in it
an Indian arrowhead.
The father of the boy went from GU
riosity to examine the ground where
the bone was found, and near the spot
he found an Indian bow, such as they
used in hunting buffalo, with one end
broken off so as to render it useless.
This incident suggested the name of
Broken Bow for the postofiice, and the
department accepted tie name with
compliments.-Neb State Journal.
