Travelled Robin Brood.

w. s. Reed, M. D., tells the story OF
a robin who took possession Of pas
senger coach which had been left for
several weeks unused at East Thomp.
son, on the Southbridge branch Of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
railroad. The robin built her nest on
the framework of the trucks under the
body of the car. The bird had been
seen around the car by different en-
ployes of the road, without their sus-
pecting the presence Of the nest until
the car was coupled on and hauled to
Southbridge. The mother followed the
train, and on its arrival brooded and
fed her young, which were just
Matched. She followed the train back
on It's return trip to East Thompson,
where she again fed and housed the
young birds. On the second trip OF
the train, in the afternoon, the bird
again followed her young to South
bridge and back to East Thompson,
where the car was sidetracked and
given into possession of the robin,
rent free, until her family were
grown. The distance travelled by the
bird in the two round trips was SO
miles.-Christian Register.

Cupid's Hunt.

Hunt, Dan Cupid, spy around!
Search the woods from bound to bound,
Seek my love. ere straying far,
She Is snatched to make a star.
Set the lily-bells a-ringing,
Send the butterflies a-wingihg;
Leave your torch; the darkest places
She'll illumne with her graces.
Where the hawthorns foam to Wilderness.
She has passed and scattered brightness.
How to know her when you meet her?
Philomel has voice no sweeter;
You will know her by her smiling,
BY her absolute beguiling,
BY the speech with which she melts you.
BY the quips with which she pelts you,
BY the breath more sweet than posy.
BY the twin lips soft and rosy,
BY the eyes amazing tender,
BY the waist and ankles. slender:
And to name no other feature,
BY the best in every creature.
II you find her. swift arraign her,
In the name of Love detain her:
Stay not or she'll take your arrows,
Mount your car and drive your sparrows;
If her sugared words you drink. boy
Cupid, you shall be her link boy;
Bring her, then. with all her blisses,
To the prison Of my kisses.

We Now Have Radiumitls.

Not since the early eighties, when
the word electric" leaped into fame
with the arc light, the telephone and
the trolley car, has newly discov-
cred term been SO popular as radium
and its derivatives. Already we have
radio cigars, radite soap, radiumite
tooth paste, and so on, just as there
used to be electric soap, electric pol
ish, electric tooth powder, electric
cleaning material and even electric
silk. The properties Of the mysteri-
GUS radium, of course, no more enter
into the articles which bear that
name, or names allied to it, than soap
or silk, polish or powder was electri-
fed. Yet the new term, applied even
to old and well-known articles, APP
peals to many people who don't both
err to think what it may or may not
mean.

Gloriana Was Freel

from home, had been accommodating
unopened on my desk, when in an idle
half-hour l thought l would see what
was going on in the theatrical world.
l glanced through the reports Of the
out-of-town correspondents in the lat.
est number and found them pretty
dull reading.
I was about to throw the paper
down in disgust when familiar name
in the personal column caught my eye.
I read the paragraph. So Gloriana
was to have the leading role in Henry
Arthur Clyds new drama, "a Dead
Mans Shoes" and in meanwhile was
resting near Buffalo, N. Vat her
cousins, of course.
My business in Chicago was prac-
tically accomplished, and would see
no reasons for delaying the return
beyond the end of the week. II left
Chicago Friday afternoon, should be
passing through Buffalo Saturday
morning, due to arrive in New York
late that afternoon and forty hours
before the Office opened up Monday
morning. Why not spend those forty
hours in Buffalo? 1t is a beautiful
city and had not been there for a
long while. Then, might run out
and make little call on Gloriana.
Really, had not treated her with
ordinary politeness of late. l went
to bed early that evening, but spent
rather restless night. l awoke at
early dawn, hours before rising time
AS lay there thinking, it occurred to
me that it would be foolish to stop off
at Buffalo unless l was sure of seeing
Gloriana.
So decided to send her few lines
telling her l was coming and asking
n she would be at home. To pass the
time away, l composed the note
should write when I got up. 1t was
quite little masterpiece in it's way,
bright and friendly, not too apologetic,
wool of sentiment woven through
a warp of playfulness, that seemed to
make the closing sentence at once
truthful, appropriate and non-commit-
tall have not seen you for many
moons, but love you just the same"
Whereupon | promptly fell asleep
again.
Immediately l dreamed that l was
in court and on the witness stand. He
had sued me for countless millions for
alternating the affections of his wife!
was conscious that letter had been
produced from somewhere and marked
for Identification. Out of the corner
of my eye could see it lying on the
clerks desk. No allusion had been
made to the 'hatate of its contents,
but there was something Ihauhtingly
familiar in its appearance.

"Do Won love this mans wife!"


It was like the counsel for the
plaintiff who asked the question. Like
fash the whole hideous plot was re-
vealed to me. II l said YES" I stood

plant look on the face Of my interro.
gator, could see it in the anxious
expression of my own counsel, in the
judges sober mien, in the eagerly ex'

II said NO." there was that fatal
letter.! l recognized it now. could
read that discriminating sentence right
through the envelope from where
stood, as II it were written in letters
of fire-"I love you Just the same!"
The mental shock was SO severe
that woke up.
Now, / am not a superstitious man,
nor am l a believer in dreams and
portents; but on thinking the matter
over it struck me with considerable
force that to write letter as I had
composed to Gloriana would not be
the best way to drift gradually out Of
her life; and II my love for her was
to be of the truly self-sacriflcing va
riety, had better pass through Buff
falo without stopping. 1t was with
this pious resolve that I went to the
Office and took up the mornings mail.
There, right on the top Of the pile
of letters was an envelope addressed
in her dear, scratchy, little fist 1t
had been sent TO me in New York. and
forwarded. l opened 1t hurriedly and
a single newspaper clipping, its only
contents, fiuttered out. picked 1t
up and read:

Judge Alfred Conkling Coke Of the

peals was telling the Cornell Law
School students the other day of an
upstate Judge who came to sit In
New York. He reached the courtroom
at $3.50. No one was there, and he
sat down to wait. At $50 in came a
young man. He began talking to the
Judge, not knowing who he was, and
told of a case of his that was on for
that morning. II don't know the first
thing about the case," conided the
young man, "but there's an old duffer
from Podunk coming to hold court,
and I'll tell him my partner is sick
or that there's a witness from Jersey
we can't get here. or something of
that sort. It'll be easy enough"
Some time later, much to the young
mans astonishmbent, thu old duffer"
assembled the bench. Several cases
were called and several lawyers gave
the same excuses for not being ready
that he had said he might give.
His own case was called. Ready"
