1t is a strange but we'll authenticat-

woods dislike the sound Of that solemn
hymn "Old Hundred" Muir, the nat
uralist, proved the truth Of This by
singing 1t in the woods of the Sierras
to the birds and squirrels, which were
very tame from never having been
frightened by the report OF gun or
other alarming sound. They would
come and sit near him upon the
branches Of trees and listen to any
lively tune he might sing, blinking
thair bright eyes as though they liked
1t, but at the first sound of "Old HIM

The Elevator Eyes.

One Of the greatest hardships suffer-
ed by men who run elevators in the
tall Office buildings downtown is the
bad effect 1t has on their eyes. The
cars are run at high rate of speed,
and, as the men have to look straight
ahead Of them most of the time, their
eyes soon feel the strain of the con-
slant motion.

innocently and gratefully accepted
their invitation. | was given an alley
all to myself. The boys explained the
game to me, and they also explained to
me that there would be an hours play
and that the player who scored the
fewest ten strikes in the hour would
have to provide oysters and beer for
the combination. This disturbed me
very seriously. since 1t promised me
bankruptcy. and was sorry that this

enough to make up for it, for they
were quite unable to hide their evil
Joy. They showed me how to stand
and how to stoop and how to aim the
ball and how to let fly, and then the
game began.
7 The results were astonishing. In
my ignorance I delivered the balls In
apparently every way except the right

stoop to lying and deception in order
to rob kind and well meaning friends
