in the dim aises of the forest. As the echoes
died away, Stenger said:

you felers have had something to say about
the smartness of the crow resumed the Modified
McEntee; but l think his most prominent charac-
teristics his curiosity and his sympathy for
those of his own kind who are in trouble. Indeed,
it is through his sympathes that the is most
often caught. If you want a stuffed crow to sit
your parlor table and hold a card-recever in his
beak, there is trying to catch him in trap.
He is Of too inquring a mind to be caught by SO
cheap continuance. He is nquistive that strings
stretched across corn-feld will frequently brighten
him away because he cannot figure out why the
strings are placed there.
1--WE boys used to take tame crow into a
wood frequented by the wild BIRDS and lay him on
his back with outstretched wings, which we pegged
to the ground and then watch him from distance.
The crow then would begin to shout for help. His
cries the whole gamut of crow ernotion-terror,
pleading, rageu1til all the crows for mile around
would come flying to the rescue. The wisest old
fellow in the flock would light the ground near
the imprisoned bird, walk gravey around him with
his head on one side, and utterlng hoarse 'Cruck-
cruck? of inquiry. Having apparently satisfied
himself that the only way to release the captive
bird was to pull him up, he would fly up and hover
him. The captive bird would reach up and
grab him by the legs, and hold like grim death.
Then we boys would rush up and catch the would be

did the crow light the kitchen fire?
I'VE took the wild bird home and put him in
cage until he became tame' resumed McEntee.
Then we released him, and he became the plague
of the house. He stole everything that shone. His
favorite perch in the kitchen on the back of

interest him greatly He watched this operation

He then flew down to the
front of the stove and be-

its sharp cracking, and he

How we'll you're looking this morn ing!" says the facetious man in tele- phonic greeting to his friend a hun dred miles away. J. B. Fowler, of Portland. Ore, has taken nub out of this joke by inventing an apparatus by which images display before a lens at one end of telephone wire are projected upon a screen at the other end. Mr. Fowler invites his visi- tors to talk with his daughter. They place the telephone transmitter to the ear, apply the eye to an aperture in the telephone boy, and see the young wo- man in miniature, soaking, 5000 feet away. Mir. Fowler is preparing now to show a train in motion in his in vention.

they used to do the same thing and thus the heoroes of two wars spend the rest of the evening by the old campfire Tecounting their several campaigns.
 The cause of this extraordinary race ] prejudice is hard to discern. The ma l Jority of the inhabitants are not from the South but. strange to say are of ! New England stock. I nthe early days of the town many irish lived there who were so bitterly hostile the negro that some people attribute the present treat ment of the colored man to their in- ] fluence.
 The population is mixed, including many Welsh and Germans. MOsct of the people are day laborers working in the coal mines and in salt mnaufac- 1 ture, and perhaps they feel the danger of negro competition, Certainly they would as readily associate with a snake as permit black man to work by their side They almost feel that he defiles ianything that he touches.
 To the women he is an object to be dreaded and feared, even in the day time. The little children are taught to fear the black man with all the horrors | associated with that name. The writer has seen many a child frightened al- most into mysteries at the mere sight | of colored man, and he was himself imbuer with the terror. What has caused this fear? No crime has even been committed by negro within the town, although many have occurred nearby which perhaps serve to main- tain the prejudice in spite of many things that might have owrked toward undermining it.
 Since the town was founded, about 1915, not a single negro family has live ed in it. About tn eyear 1ST55 two ne- groes were employed as domestics by a i family in the extreme lower end of the town, practically in the country, but they did not stay long Since the civil war two attempts have been made by negro families to settle in the town, but both were summarily driven out F.
