Nature Study.

The morning shower had ceased,
and the early robin, seeking for its
breakfast, had caught sight of an
early worm. Grabbing it with its bill,
the robin pulled the worm partly
out of the ground. Then it let go, to
take a fresh hold, and an English
sparrow swooped down, seized the
worm, and few away with it.
The robin, nothing daunted, hunted
up another worm, and had nearly
completed the process Of extraction,
when the English sparrow swooped
down again and carried away this
worm likewise.
This performance was repeated SIX
times more.
Say, you!" exclaimed the robin,
losing patience at last, why do you
rob me in this measley, contemplate
fashion,"
Because" answered the English
sparrow, you're dead easy. What is
the use of my digging worms when
l can get big slobs like you to dig
them for me?"
Which so angered the woman who
was watching the birds and had over
heard the conversation that she
picked up a stone, threw it at the
sparrow, and came within half an inch

faint shade of color passed swiftly over

He looked at the girl as he said
this, Inc she blushed, very naturally

1t occurred to the king all at once
that he was only a common man

to make her like him for himself came
to him. He had married at high noon

whom he would hardly know. 1t had

The girl laughed again. Its too

HAU MUST Die is VERDICT

Defendant Hears Sentence with Com.

with People.

Karlsruhe, July 24.-Dr. Karl Hau,
the brilliant young professor of Roman
law at the George Washington univer-
sity in Washington, D. c., was Tues
day morning condemned to die by the
ak, after five days trial, for the MUIR
der of his mother-in-law, Frau Molitor,
in Baden-Baden Nov. last.
The prisoner heard the verdict of
the jury with perfect composure and
chatted smilingly with his counsel
after the judges withdrew to fix his
sentence. Upon the return of the
Judges Hau arose, and, standing erect
with folded arms, listened to the SEN
tence without moving a muscle. A
moment later he was hurried away to
prison by half a dozen policemen.
The sentence is unpopular with the
street crowds, which all night have
surged about the courthouse demon
strating in favor of Hau and against
the Molitors, especially against Olga
Molitor, sister of Hau's wife, whose al
legged relations with the prisoner are
said to have been at the bottom of all
the family troubles. Hau on the stand
admitted that he had been madly in
fatuated with Olga and that it was to
meet her that he returned to Baden
Baden in disguise on the day of the
murder. On the witness stand she
turned against IIau and declared that
there had been nothing in her rela-
OF her sister. She also gave fnucn
damaging testimony against Hau.
Herr Dietz, counsel for Hau, has
lodged formal notice of an appeal for
revision of the courts finding.
