THE STUPID SWAN.
Graceful and Beautiful, the Bird Is q
NincompO0p.

To the mind of the average farmer
nothing which walks on two legs is
quite so stupid as hen. He is mis-
taken, though, for there still remains
that beautiful, graceful nincompoop,
the common swan. The swan Is so
stupid that 1t will stand in the shall
low part of a pond and allow the
water to freeze round its legs till the
ice is SO thick that it cannot lift its
feet and 1t Is stuck fast. Not infre-
quently owners of these handsome but
witless birds are compelled to chop
away sufficient ice to make 1t possible
for them to withdraw their imprisoned
feet.
The stupidity of the swan In this
respect Is emphasized by the intelli-
gence exhibited by ornamental ducks
when the weather turns cold. As
night comes on and the water begins
to freeze the ducks begin swimming
in a wide. well defined circle. Round
and round they go during the entire
night, keeping all the water within
that circle free from ice, SO that when
the day dawns they can float about
and doze in the sun. Ducks are al
ways most active during the night and
choose the day for sleeping.
But to return to the swan. If you
find one of these birds some distance
from the water and startle it, the swan
will rush few feet toward the pond
and then drop down on the ground and
try to go through the motions of swim
ming, apparently unable in its fright
to realize that 1t has not yet reached
the water.
Neither Is the common swan good
fighter. The black swan, although
one-half its size. is invariably the VIC
tor In the combats which are some
times engaged in and generally kills
its antagonist The black swan usu-
ally provokes the fight, too, for it is
rather quarrelsome bird Washing

COULDN'T DODGE THESE TAXES.
Births, Marriages and Deaths Once
Source of English Revenue.

Pleased with his mornings work
he ahd sworn of no less than $340, 900
in taxes-the capitalist leaned back in
his chair, lighted cigar and talked
agreeably.
I'm the past" he said, governments
were wiser. They levied taxes that
could not be sworn off. There was.
for instance, the English birth tax of
the seventeenth century. A laborer
paid two shillings as birth tax; duke
paid ESQ. You couldn get round it.
"Burials were taxed, according to
the station of the dead, from a shilling
to ELS. That too. could not be
lodged.
Marriages were taxed A duke, to
marry, paid ESQ; a common person,
like yourself, paid half crown.
In those days you paid tax on
every servant, on your dog, on every
horse, on your carriage, your hearth,
your windows, watches, clocks, wigs,
hair powder. plate, ribbons. coal, ,gauze
and candies"

Do Fish Feel Paint

How sensitive to pain are fish? A
correspondent writes: II have a small
pond which is stocked with trout. ]
keep an accurate account of those
catch and note when lose any. One
morning big rainbow trout broke the
worm hook with which had hooked
him. That evening hooked and land
ed good trout also with worm tackle
which proved to be my friend of the
morning, as right down Ia his stomach
was the broken gut and hook. and, be-
side this, In his lip Was March brown
fly hook which, according to my fish,
ing book, must have been there many
weeks. A fish with fly hook In his
mouth, a worm hook in his stomach
and ready to gulp down bait must be
quite impervious to what we mortals
call pain"

The cool night air famed her

excited feeling left her. She looked
at the dark, peaceful looking sky

and as she looked something moved
in the room behind her.
She turned round, and uttered low
cry of surprise. A small form was
sitting up in the bed; with a curious
tight feeling about her throat she ap-
preached it.

 The situation is of especial interest, because it is the first attempt in this county to ignore the laws prohibiting ball games on Sunday. Hot Springs is now the e(ly Sunday town in the league Baseball men think, should the Argenta project be successfully carried out, it would mean much to the club in a financial way. Mir.

 "Mr. w. w. Hurst, President Argenta Baseball Association:
 Dear Sir-My attention has been called to the fact that the manage ment of the Argenta baseball team has declared it's intention to have a game of ball at it's park next Sunday.
