THE PARTRIDGE WAS DRUNK.
Queer Actions Of Bird With Fine
Pokeberry Jag.


One night, little after dusk, as we were
about to go into the house. our younger
boy saw something dark moving behind the
dog kennel, and with the help of his father
drew out a fiuttering female partridge.
1t acted so queerly. we could not make
out what the matter, for she did not
seem to be hurt There were no blood
stains on her feathers, no marks anywhere,
but she could neither walk nor fly.
What was the strangest of all. she did
not appear frightened, and every one knows
that nothing living is shyer than par
fridge. We marveled at the sight as she
sat quietly in the older boys hand, breath
ing very fast, but showing absolutely no
tear.
Suddenly our younger boy exclaimed:
ooh, I know what ails her; she's drunk;
she's been eating pokeberries!' Sure
enough; we had all read about cartridges
gotten it.
We took her into the house, and she sat
on the table while weate supper. How
indescribably funny she looked sitting there
by my plate, allowing me to stroke her
smooth, brown notified back, permitting
the wild woods thing-famiiarties from
each one of us.
Poor, helpless, drunken little dame. Her
bill would partly open and shut. and if we
put her up on her feet she would sway and
totter, with half-closed eyes and dropping
tail and wings.
AS held her up against my face and felt
the soft, faint little puffs of breath from
her bill against my cheek, she seemed the
very spirit of all that is woodsy, shy re-
mote and inaccessible; and yet there she
was, right in my hands, dolly, dizZily,
dauntlessly drunk.

The Presence Of Mind of an Eigh-
teenth Century Irish Woman.
From Notes and Queries.
In looking over some family papers and
bundles of old letters, discovered one writ
ten more than half a century ago by Mrs.
Jeffereys of Barney Castle county Cork,
which contains an account Of a circum-
stance interesting in itself as an instance
Of herosm the part Of the narrator to-
ward her brother, the Earl of Clare, and so
valuable, as bringing to light a remarkable
event connected with the history of those
troubled times, that 1 feel 1 am only dis
charging a duty in submitting 1t to the no
tice of the society.
The letter is dated No. Wordsworth
street, July, 1907, and, among other mat
tiers, Mrs. Jeffereys writes as follows:
'On the day Lord Fitzwilliam was re-
called, when my brother (as chancellor)
was returning from the castle. after hav-
ing assisted at the swering-in of the newly
arrived lord lieutenant, ferocious mob of
no less than five thousand men and several
hundred women assembled together in Col
lege Green, and all along the avenue lead
ing to my brothers house. The male part
of the insurgents were armed with pistols,
cutlaSses, sledges, saws, crowbars and every
other weapon necessary to break open my
brothers house; and the women were all of
them armed with their aprons full of paw
ing stones. This ferocious and furious mob
began to throw showers of stones into my
DrOtnerS cOdCn, at MS cOacnmanS mead
and his horses: they wounded my brother
in the temple in College Green, and if he
had not sheltered himself by holding his
great square official purse before him he
would have been stoned to death before he
arrived Through the back Yard at his own
house. where, with several smithy sledges,
they were working hard to break into his
hall door. while some others of them had
ropes ready to fix up to his lamp iron to
hang him the moment they could find him

STRUCK WITH A WHIP
FORMER POLICEMAN MAKES AS
sAULT ON AN ATTORNEY.

Attorney Albert Sillers has a scar on his
neck caused by horse whip welded this
afternoon by Thomas Reidy, formerly a
policeman. while the attorney was seated
In his office conversing with client. Reidy,

and his conduct was such that he had to
be restrained by the attorney. The latter
grasped the intruder and held him after
the first blow had been struck preventing
repetition Of the alleged assault.
Detective Burlingame, who was on duty
at police headquarters at the time, hur-
ried across to the Gunton building and took
charge of Reidy. The detective and the
prisoner were followed to headquarters by
the attorney. The latter preferred a charge
of assault against his assailant. Reidy,
who had been lettering about police head
quarters and the Gunton building all the
morning. said he had delivered the blow
and was glad of 1t.

Says He Had Grievance.
Reidy added that he had grievance
against the attorney growing out of the
employment of Mr.. Sillers In case in
volving the distribution of the estate Of
Reidy's mother-in-law. The property was
sold at auction last Saturday. Reidy, it is
alleged. threatened to interfere with the
sale. His home is near oath and NJ streets
After giving his name and address at
headquarters the prisoner was taken to the
first precinct station. Arrangements were
made later in the day to have him re-
leased on bond.
Speaking of the assault, Attorney Sillers
said to Star reporter:
Il filed a suit in equity for partition Of
real estate about two months ago for Mrs.
Reidy against her brother and sister, in
connection with the property left by their
mother. The court decreed the sale of the
property, and required Mason N. Richard
| son and myself to give bond in the sum ..
$4,000 as trustees. The property after being
advertised was sold Saturday last, Mr..
Richardson and myself being present. Mr..
Reidy and his wife were also present. and
Mr.. Reidy was cautioned by the trustee at
the sale not to interfere. He and his wife
bought in the property and paid the 500
deposit on the sale. l can see no other rea-
son for his assault on me-"

Mems Fashions.

From Harper's Bazaar.
Already In the spring there was tend
ency to go back to the fifties for some OF
the fashions All the coats are made with
long lapels. buttoning so as to show
considerable part of the V of the waistcoat.
The trousers are made loose on the hips.
and this coming winter will be even wider
than they were during the summer. The
peg-top shape is out of fashion.
The one great change in mems fashions is
the casting aside of iron-bound formality.
For years, many of the shops have been
sending out little charts indicating what
is correct to wear at various times. These
narrow rules have led many men into the
sin of overdressing For instance. it IS
stated that for the afternoon man must
be seen in a black frock coat, with waist
coat of the same material or of white linen
duck and with trousers of striped worsted
or cheyiot And with this go the high SILK
hat plain white shirt, with cuffs attached,
with high standing collar and Ascot tie.
