a petal from the flower and laid 1t so

drop escaped. A silent man could Join

THE OBSERVING ROBIN.

How Does the Bird Know Just
Where to Bore For GrubsI
l once observed robin boring for
grubs in country dooryard It is q
common enough sight to witness one
seize an angleworm and drag 1t from
its burrow In the turf, but l am not
sure that ever before saw one drill
for grubs and bring the big white NOR
sci to the surface. The robin l am
speaking of had a nest Of young in a
maple near by, and she worked the
neighborhood very industriously for
food. She would run along over the
short grass after the manner of robins,
stopping every few feet, her form stiff
and erect. Now and then she would
suddenly bend her head toward the
! ground and bring eye or ear for q mo.
ment to bear intently upon it. Then
she would spring to boring the turf
vigorously with her bill, changing her
attitude at each stroke, alert and
watchful, throwing up the grass roots
and little jets Of soil, stabbing deeper
and deeper, growing every moment
more and more excited, till finally fat
grub was seized and brought forth
Time after time during several days
saw her mine for grubs in this way and
drag them forth. How did she know
where to drill? The insect was in every
case an inch below the surface. Did
she hear it gnawing the roots of the
grasses or did she see a movement In
the turf beneath which the grub was al
work? know not, only know that
she struck her game unerringly each
time. Only twice did I see her make
few thrusts and then desist, as II
she had been for the moment deceived.

Everything About Him Was Extraor-
dinary, Even His Digestion.
Never to be forgotten were those
evenings when we were lucky enough
to find neither minister, senator nor
deputy-for in the presence Of political
men Victor Hugo always seemed to me
somewhat stiff-when he warmed to
his subject, let himself go. as it were,
and his conversation took natural
turn full of charm.
How he would then have astonished
those who had represented him as be-
ing exceedingly solemn-in fact, a po-
seur! If they had seen him so 1t was
doubtless due to themselves. Perhaps
to the bumptious and self opinionated
he gave himself the air of an oracle,
but with poets, l repeat, he was ease
and SIMPLICITY might even say ia
millarity-itself.
At these dinners we could not help
admiring his formidable appetite. He
ate enormous pieces Of roast meat and
drank large glasses Of undiluted wine
A typical detail struck me particularly
At the end Of his meal he dipped or
ange quarters into his wine and ate
them with marked satisfaction. Ev-
erything about Victor Hugo was ex-
traordinary, even his digestion.-Fran-

days when the whirr of the roulette

rattle of dice were nightly heard on
lower Howard street. He was a type
of the we'll dressed, well fed and be-

the felony law took effect, the old
gambler forsook the green cloth and
only in "reminiscences lives over the

PLENiPOTENTIARIES WILL
MEET EARLY IN AUGUST,

ST. Petersburg, June 26.-Both Japan
and Russia are now understood to
have agreed on the time when their
rlenipotentiaries shall meet at Wash
ington. 1t will be during the first ten
days of August, but the exact date
probably will be announced by Presi-

the number Of personal negotiations.
Both sides seem DESTROYS to make the
other take the initial move Russia
seems to consider that 1t is Japan's
duty to name her E.snipotentiaries be-
fore she announces hers. While the
exact number of the plenipotentiaries
has not officially been arranged, both
powers seem to have tacitly agreed
on three. The actual announcement
of the names of the pleIipotentiaries
! is expected within few days.
The official statement of the situe-
! ton is:
! All is going on favorably. The ques-
ton of a possible armistice as stated
last week remains in allegiance for
z the moment. Japan. it is understood,
declining even to take up the mattef

MAY ACCEPT THE
TERMS OFFERED
STEPS LOOKING TO SETTLEMENT
OF CHICAGO STRIKE TAKEN
LAST NIGHT.
BY Associated Press.

Chicago, Ill, June 26.-Steps to be
taken today by the conservative lead
ers in the teamsters' ranks were ex-
pected to effectually check growing
sentiment among the more radical ele-
ment in favor of a general strike Of all
teamsters in Chicago to encourage a
prompt ending of the existing strug-
gle, either by accepting the employers
terms or calling OF the strike.
At the present time the main por.
ton of the transfers army is intact,
only 1000 out of 27,eeo being on
strike. A general attack upon employ
ers it was declared, could result only
in general disorganiZation and a call
for militia. This move also would re
suit In the drivers cutting loose from
their main basis of support, the team
sters who are employed.
Meetings will be held tonight by
the department store drivers and the
railway express drivers to vote on the
question of accepting the peace terms
of the employers According to H. C
/ Cork, chairman of the peace commit
tee of the teamsters' joint council, z
favorable vote by these two local.
would mean an end of the strike, a:
the other unions would follow.
The terms practically are the same
as were offered three weeks ago
Some changes in the phraseology
have been made at the request o.
the teamsters' committee. One alter
alton, it is understood, was in tkt
article concerning the wearing OF un
ion buttons, in order to have 1t made
clear that no employer objects to th,
wearing of union buttons proVidet
they are not exposed.
