give the Russian ample time to take

also to prepare for the meeting with

THE NORMAN "0YEz."
A Legacy of William the Conqueror to
the Courts.

A Legacy of William the Conqueror to
the Courts.
Everybody who has ever been in a
United States courtroom knows that
when the judge walks out of his cham
bers and asccnds the bench the court
crier drones out:
"OyeZ, Oyez, oyez, the honorable court
of the whatever district it may be- is
now in session.
Not many persons, however, realize
that the crier says "oyez, oyez, oyez,"
instead of ''harken, harken, harken,"
because Of a chance visit that William
the Conqueror made to an English
court almost 900 years ago.
4 William had overrun England, seized
the government and placed himself at
it's head. Happening to enter a court
room, he heard the crier call the as
semblage to order in English. William
rebuked him and on the spot decreed
that the business of all English courts
should be transacted in Norman
French, his native tongue. Afterward
the courts went back to English, but to
this day "oyez, oyez, Oyez," clings to
court customs wherever the English
language is spoken as a reminder of
the great Norman who whipped King
Harold in the battle of Hastings

THE PRISON BIRD.

VIM. H. IRISH,
County Judge.

Tyranncal and Jealous Festhered
Beauty of Africa.
The popularity Of the prison bird, q
feathered beauty of Africa, is that he
is the most tyrannical and jealous
Of husbands, imprisoning his mate
throughout her netting time. Living
stone watched the birds habits while
servations referred to the nest as q
prison and the female bird as slave.
The nest is built in the hollow Of q
tree through an opening In the bark.
As soon as it is completed the mother
bird enters carefully and fearfully and
settles down in It. Then papa walls up
the opening. leaving only just space
enough fer air and food to pass
through He keeps faithful guard and
brings food at regular intervals with
out fail. The female thrives under her
enforced retirement. But if the prison
bird is killed or in any other way pre-
vented from fulfilling his duties the
mother and her little ones must die of
starvation, for she cannot free herself
from bondage.
Normally the Imprisonment lasts un-
til the chicks are old enough to fly
Then the male bird destroys the bar
rier with his beak and liberates his
family. ut is charming" writes Liv'
ingstone, ito see the joy with which
the little prisoners greet the light and
the unknown world"

Japanese Calendar,


Reference is frequently made to the
floral calendar of Japan. What this
calendar is is explained in the House
keeper. The japanese are extremely
fond of all flowers, and they have
therefore made calendar from them,
giving to each month a favorite bios
som or leaf.
Thus the pine, the emblem Of lasting
prosperity and life, belongs to January,
and it's branches are used to decorate
all houses on New Years day.
To February belong the blossoms Of
the plum tree, which stand for purity,
and the beautiful blossoms Of the peach
tree, to which young girls are COM
pared, are associated with the month
Of March.
Next the cherry blossom, the most
beloved Of all flowers, is held to be-
long to April, and to May are assigned
the gorgeous clusters of the wistaria
vine.
The iris.fower, to which are compared
the strength and beauty Of young boys,
belongs to June, and July has the glory
and perfume of the water lily. The
Towering hibiscus tree attaches it's
beauty to the month of August, while
September lays claim to the exquisite
charm Of the azalea.
The royal flower Of Japan, the chrys-
anthemum, which forms part Of the
crest Of the imperial family, belongs
to the month Of October, while to No
vember is given the maple leaf, ad-
mired for it's decorative quality.
Finally, with December is associated
the beautiful camellia, which blooms
in the gardens even in the midst Of
snow

When the crowd outside the club

He was too confused to speak. They
cheered him again. He threw out his
hand in a gesture of helplessness and
moved his lips in some inaudible mum

liver a speech. They could not hear on
account of the noise that they were

AN ANCIENT YOKEk..
Not Quite Sure Of His Age, but Knew
1t Was Something Fearful.

1t Was Something Fearful.
During a Saturday stroll in the coun-
try pedestrian came upon an ancient
rustic engaged in breaking stones.
Drawing him into conversation, the Pc
destrian eventually asked the old fell
low how old he was.
"Oh, 1 dunno" was the reply, "but l
know l be a fearful age!'
"But you must have some general
idea how old you are"
''No, l dunno, but l know l be a
fearful age" was the only estimate
that could be drawn from him.
'All right; we'll try to get at it In
another way" said the pedestrian,
bringing out his pencil and notebook.
"Now, how old were you when you left

"Well, / was wagner fur Cruker,

And so on, and so forth, until the final
fact was elected that he had been en-
gagged on breaking stones for quarter
Of a century. Then the inquirer OBJ
served, with whitening sarcasm:

sorbing anecdotes of his work, his
travel and the dangers he had under
gone.
: Duncan arrived duly. The guests,
who were assembled on the wide YER
anda, saw Tim bring the big road car
up to the steps, saw bronzed, grave
faced young man climb out and pune
tiliousiy greet Mrs. Harvey as Cousin
Mary"
If they had expected any signs of
his far heralded exploits about him,
any gray hairs on his head or any
marks Of suffering upon his face, they
were doomed to disappointment He
was fair haired, sleek, we'll groomed.
Indeed, he looked much more like a
prosperous business man on a week
ned vacation than a celebrity With
whose name two continents were ring
ing.
At dinner that night Mrs. Harvey
made her first attempt to draw him
out.
Nov, Ted" she suggested as the
coffee was served, "we're all impa-
tient to hear about it,
Duncan looked surprised. About
what, Cousin Mary?' he asked.
"What, indeedT she returned. "Your
recent triumph in Lassa, of course"
Duncan actually blushed under his
coat of tan and squirmed uneasily In
his chair as he realized all the eyes at
the table were upon him.
F"Oh, .thati'' he said. 'Its nothing
really nothing. It's not worth the tell
ing"
"But the papers said"-
'The papers," he interrupted; the
yellow sheets, you mean, Cousin Mary.
They must have news. They'll make
something out Of the most hopeless
material"
"You talked with the grand lama.
Tell us about him. What did he say"
Duncan laughed with some embar-
rassment- "Nice little chap, the lama.
Youngish, he is, with lean face and
keen eyes. We had quite a gossiping
bee through an interpreter. Seemed
most interested In the color Of my hair,
the lama did. Wanted to know what
made 1t yellow. 1 tried to tell him 1t
was nature and not peroxide that did
It. but the interpreter got all tangled
ND trying to put it right, and the lama's
face was like a craven image. / guess
the thing didn't CO."
In self defense he turned to the girl
at his left
what was your score on the links
this afternoonP" he asked. Forty
one? Finel Wish could do as good
as that"
AS an attraction, an entertainer of
Mrs. Harvey's guests, Duncan proved
signal failure. He was taciturn, shy,
Iii at ease. The guests on their part
stood rather in awe of the big, grave
young man with the slow smile and
the thoughtful eyes.
They imagined he found them trivial,
not worth his efforts. When they were
ON the links or putting the horses to
the hurdles behind the stables, he took
long solitary rambles across the noun
tainS.
When they played bridge or danced
randa, smoking innumerable cigarettes.
Mrs. Harvey, In frank disappointment,
told herself he was impossible.
The usual game of bridge was In
fun swing one evening and Duncan
was sitting quite alone on one end of
the veranda, looking at the great bulk
of the mountains looming dimly In the
moonlight.
He heard the door open softly, and,
turning, he saw Eleanor Graydon COM
ing toward him. Duncan's pulses quick
ened. There was something about this
tall, beautiful girl, with her cool voice
