BUZZARD WITH FAME OF STORK.
Revered Bird Of a Pennsylvania Town
Released From Its Prison.

Rather than bring about an epi-
demic OF race suicide in East Noting
ham Township by keeping imprisoned
the famous belled buzzard which acts
in the capacity OF the legendary stork
for that community, Samuel Win
chester, who captured the bird few
DAYS ago, has decided to set IL free.
Great numbers OF persons have
focked to see the big bird, and its
capture aroused great interest
throughout the entire township. The
buzzard is an unusually large one
and is somewhat differently colored
from others OF its species. II has Tor
years been recognized by a sleigh bell
wired TO its leg.
For nearly a quarter OF century
its lowering over farmhouse has
been regarded as an infallible sign
that there was TO be an addition TO
the family. Mothers instead OF tell
ing their children OF the stork's visit
informed them that the belled buzz
Zard was the bearer OF the little one.
People have been trying to capture IL
for years, but no one ever succeeded
until IL fell into Mr.. Winch ester's
hands.-Oxford Correspondence Phil.

inches square, finished with a tiny
hemstitched border, with or without
a narrow finish of lace. Some OF the
finest have the narrow Armenian lace.

An ILLEGAL Coin,

The French Government finds itself
in the position of, If not exactly a
'smasher," at any rate an issuer OF
bad money. 1t has just minted a
twenty-fve-centime piece in nickel,
and it seems that the law provides
that only multiples OF ten are permis-
sible. Twenty-centime pieces would
be all right. Twenty-five-centime
pieces are illegal. A committee spe-
cially appointed by the Government
has formulated this conclusion, and,
technically, it is unquestionably cor
rect. The Government is now asked
what it proposes 10 do in the matter.
