PhiIanthrOpic Sparrows.

An incident which, the writer de-
clares, raised the pugnacious sparrow
several degrees in his estimation is
described in Outing. 1t shows that the
sparrow has other good qualities be-
sides his sturdiness and self reliance.
For several days four or five sparrows
had visited n certain place on the roof
neal my window. They always brought
food for another little fellow, who
never tried a fight from the spot. The
visiting sparrows never came empty
billed. They would drop tiny morScls
of food near the little sparrow. When
it began TO eat the crumbs the others
set up a great chirping ana then few
away. After watching this for a few
days | went out on the roof and APP

ter away from me and made no resist
ance when l picked it up. The spar
row was blind. Its yes were covered

BLUE PAPER.
The Process Of Making II Discovered
by nm Accident.

by an Accident.
"A woman" said a paper maker. "in-
vented blue paper. 1t was by accident
that she did it though. Before her time
all paper was white.
"She was the wife of William tastes.
one of the leading paper makers Of
England in the eighteenth century. In
passing through the paper plant n
day she dropped a big blue bag into q
vat OF pulp. Eastcs was a stern chap.
and so, since no II had seen the acci-
dent, Mrs. tastes decided to say moth
ing about il.
1.-THE paper in the vat, which should
have been white, came out blue. The
workmcn were myStified. Eastes en-
ragged. Mrs. Eastes kept quiet. The
upshOt was that the paper was sent TO
London, marked damaged TO be sold
for whatever ii would bring.
But the selling agent in London
was shrewd. lie saw that this blue
tinted paper was attractive. He de-
clared it to be Il wonderful new inven-
ton, ana he sold il off like hot cakes
at double the white papers price.
Tastes soon received an order for
more of the blue paper-an order that
he ana his men wasted several days
in trying TO vainly fill.
Then Mrs. EaStes came forward
and told the story of the blue cloth
bag. There was no difficulty after
that in making the blue paper. This
papers price remained very high, the
Eastes having a monopoly in it,"

CAVALRY AT LAWTON.
Regiment to Be Stationed There While
Bids on Pasture Are On.

Lawton, Ok, Dec. Sin response
to a request by Judge Wooten, in
charge of the receiving Of bids on
the Kiowa and Comanche Indian lands
in the big pasture, Acting Commits
sioner Pollock recommended that a
regiment of cavalry from Fort Sill
be detailed to be stationed about
the city here, where the bids are be-
ing received both lay and night, dur
ing the rest of the week. The first
detail is reported to have been dis
patchel from th3 for. tonight.
Out of approximately 1000 bids
received, only one has been irregular.
Judge Wooten states that Secretary
Taft of the war department had ex-
pressed a desire to the interior de-
partment to hold up the sale of big
pasture lands until those having lands
adjacent to the military reserve could
select land in the big pasture in lieu
of that which they now occupy. In
order to secure the desired land, the
war department will have to condemn
it and purchase it outright.
