A BIRDS NEST.
How 1t Was Saved From Destruction
by General Stanley.

How 1t Was Saved From Destruction
by General Stanley.
Some years ago General David s.
Stanley Of the United States army was
leading a force across the plains. He
was laying out the route for a great
railroad. There were 1000 men, $500
horses and mules and a train Of $50
wagons heavily laden.
One day the general was riding at
the head Of the broad column when
suddenly his voice rang out, "Halt!'
A birds nest lay on the ground di-
rectly in front of him. In another mo-
ment the horses would have trampled
on the nestlings. The mother bird was
flying about and chirping in the great
est anxiety. But the brave general had
not brought out his army to destroy a
birds nest
He halted for a moment, looked at
the little birds in the nest below and
then gave the order, left oblique"
Men, horses. mules and wagons turn
ed aside and spared the home of the
helpless bird. Months and even years
after those who crossed the plains saw
great bend in the trail. 1t was the
bend made to avoid crushing the birds
nest. Truly, great hearts are tender
hearts, and ''the loving are the dar-
ing"

Queer ENGLISH.

A little book called English as She
Is Spoke" was compiled and published
a few years ago by a Portuguese
named Fonseca. 1t is not so much
talked about as it used to be, but per-
haps it may be found at some Of the
bookstores. 1t would be worth any
ones time and money to get copy Of
it, for it is as full of laughs as kitten
Is Of play. Here is specimen: "a ply
sician eighty years of age had enjoied

tight, pressing the knife blade into the
case apparently harder and tighter
than it was before. Jimmy looked on
wonderingly. When the winding was
finished Uncle Nat held the free cor
ner of the handkerchief firmly between
his thumb and finger and gave the
knife sharp little twitch and throw.
OF course the handkerchief unrolled
rapidly, and when the knife flew out
the blade was open.
''Therew said Uncle Nat. EASY
enough, isn't it?'
And Jimmy was able to do the same
thing after few trials, and after that
he wasn't troubled with a blade that
stuck.

last spring, but the land was saved
then by the alfalfa roots which held
the soil to the rocks in spite of the
rush of water.
The damage on the little Walla
Walla river is practically nothing &C
cording to a farmer of that vicinity
who was in the city today. The wa
ter was not nearly so high as | asst
spring.
The farms on the Yellowhawk were
overlooked especially the Matt Sturm
place but the water was not swift
enough to tear up the land to any ex-
tent
There was a rumor this morning
that the people living along the Vel
low Hawk and on Garrison creek were
indignant over what they believed to
be the injustice of the Walla Walla
people in turning the bulk of the swol-
len stream from Mill creek to save
the city. Further investigation seems
to show, however, that the weir at
the fork of the creek above the city
has been unchanged since last spring
so that Walla Walla took as large per-
centage of water as she did before.

Jimmy could not get the blade OF his
new knife open. He had tried until
the nails of both his thumbs were
broken, and then he had worked with
a screwdriver and a spike, but he
couldn't start the stiff spring.
"Guess you never heard about open
ing a knife with your handkerchief,

Eyes, with a handkerchief. When I
was a boy that is the way we always
did, but the boys Of today seem to
have forgotten the trick"
Uncle Nat put on his spectacles, drew
out his handkerchief and wound 1t
about Jimmy's knife, blade and all.
He did it slowly, so that it would be

Four Tongue Twfsters.

Tongue twisting sentences are al
ways good funmakers. Here are four
for our young folks to try: l. She
sells seashells. 2. The sun shines on
the shop signs. 3. Shave a cedar
single thin. 4. How much wood would
woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck
could chuck wood? When you give
these twisters out. make it a condition
that they shall be spoken quite rapid
ly, and you will have lots of fun.

A Homemade Toy,

Get two small wooden balls, paint
Them in bright contrasting colors and
fasten them to each other by means of
a strong double cord Of rubber Twist
the cord tightly by turning the balls in
opposition directions, and then place
them on the floor or on smooth piece
of ground. They will at once begin to
revolve rapidly, and some pretty and
curious figures will be produced.
