A BIRDS BALLROOM.
Where the Cock O the Rock Performs
 Like a WhrIing Dervlsh.

Dancing Is by no means confined to quadrupeds. A writer in the Strand says that it is the principal play of many birds.
 Perhaps the finest of bird dancers is the South American cock O the rock. These birds have regular dancing places, level spots which they keep clear of sticks and stones
 A dozen or more of the birds assemble around this spot, and then cock bird, his scarlet crest erect, steps into the cen ter. Spreading his wings and tail, he be- gins to dance, at first with slow and very stately steps, then gradually more and more rapidly until he is spinning like a mad thing. At last tired out, he sinks down, hops out of the ring and another takes his place.
 Some of the quail tribe are great dan cers, and so are the American sand hill cranes. It is a most ludicrous sight to watch crane dancing; he Is so desper- ately solemn over the whole performance. He looks like shy young man who has just learned to waltz and Is rather ashamed of the accomplishment.

Bill Nye as a Dairyman.

"When l was young and used to roam around over the country, gathering watermelons by the light of the moon, used to think I could milk anybody's COW, but I don't think so now. 1 do not milk the COW unless the sign is right, and it hasn't been right for a good many years. The last COW 1 tried to milk .was common COW, born in ob- scurity, kind of a self-made COW; 1 re- member that her brow was low but she wore her tail high, and she was haughty-oh, so naughty. l made d commonplace remark to her, one that need not give offense. 1 said 'so'-and she 'soed. Then 1 told her to hist and she histed.' But l thought she overdid it. She put too much expression into it. Just then l heard something crash through the window of the barn and fall with thud--sickening thud- on the outside. It was me.
 'I am buying all my milk now of a milkman. l select gentle mIkman, who will not kick, and feel as though l can trust him. Then if he feels as though he can trust me, it's all right.

UNCLE BILLS WATER TROUBLES.
Editor Yukon Valley News.

Editor Yukon Valley News.
 Hearing so much of the trouble the water this season is causing the pros pectors and miners around Rampant re- minds me of all the troubles l have had continually during my life with the wet element, and if it takes not too much space in your paper and you think it worth while printing, l would not mind telling about "Uncle Bills Water Trou- bles." So here goes: When was little kid,
 Could hardly walk in shoes, 1 took to water quite bit,
 To streams, to brooks and pools. While growing up fshed and swum
 All waters warm and cold tNo matter if quiet or if they'd run
 In torrents) till the schoolbells tolld And many time l missed that bell
 Not minding its loud warning call. Then mother and teacher give me hell
 Till disliked waters big and small I kept disliking water till-
 Up till now l think. I'm old and gray, but prejudiced still
 Against the water l must drink. Yet seemingly without the stuff
 Man cant exist and thrive. 'Tis good, some say, cook it enough
 Or take it sterilized. I like it only well distilled
 In wine, beer, ale or rye, And all my cash has never filled
 Me mn Pm still uuitp dry Some time ago for quite a spell
 GA dozen years or more) 1 took to like the briny swell
 And sailed from shore to shore. But life upon the ocean wave
 The stormy, tossing sea Uncalled for baths-a waterv grave
 Just missed-did not agree With Bill; besides q lot of brine
 Did make me dry you see. l shook salt water For time
 I went on happy spree. Alas, trying to quench that thirst
 Along the waterfront l had to take in places rest
 Of which l was not fond. And so the water troubled me
 Wherever I did go. I thought l would 90 north and see
 What ice and snow would do. l went prospecting there awhile,
 No water was in sight; But, darn it, if it did not spoil
 Success wherever tried. At last found good dry bar;
 The yellow dust was there; Then-''It would pay good" l did de-
 clare,
 If l had water here" 1 wish that some scientific man
 some day will make d stab At it and fix it SO we can
 Put every drop on tap. F. w. w
