THE MAGPIE'S NEST.

Once upon a time all the birds
came and asked the maybe to
teach them how to build their
nests. You see, the maybe is the
cleverest bird of them all at build
ing nests. So she gathered the
birds around her and began to
show them how to do it. First
she took some mud and made sort
of a round cake with it.
ooh, 1 see how it's DONE" said
the thrush; and away she flew, so
that's how thrushes build their
nests today.
Then the magpie took some
swigs and put them around in the
mud. Now l know all about 1t, "
said the blackbird, and away he
flew, and that's how blackbirds
make their nests today.
Then the magpie put another
layer of mud over the twigs. ooh,
that's easy" said the wise owl,
and away he flew; and owls have
never made better nests since.
After this the magpie took some
twigs and twined them around the
outside. "The very thing" said the
sparrow, and away he flew; so

,sparrows make slovenly nests even
today.
Then the magpie took some
feathers and stuffed and lined the
nest. That's all right" cried the
starting, and away he flew; and
ever since the starting have CON-
| Portable nests.
So every bird took with him
some knowledge of how to build a
NEST, but none waited to see il
finished.
But the magpie went on work
ing without looking up till only a
turtle dove remained, and that
kept on calling it's silly cry: Take
two, Taffy, take two-O-o-o."
The maybe heard this just as
she was putting twig across. Sc
She said, zone enough"
But the turtle dove answered
"Take two, Taffy, take two-o-o-o.' .
At last the maybe looked VI
and saw nobody near her but that
silly little turtle dove, and she got
very angry and flew away and
refused to tell the birds how tc
build nests again. That's why
birds have had different kinds OF
NESTS ever since,

from the Congressional Record.
Jenkins of Wisconsin, you will re-
member as one of those cham
pions of the constitution who will
retire to private life on account
of this lack of sympathy with the
ideas of modern progressive
thought. He was defeated at the
recent election:
Mr.. Hughes of New Jersey:
do not know whether I can state
the situation and confine my re-
marks strictly to question, but
/ will try. The gentleman stated,
and with great vehemence, that he
insists upon the three branches of
the government being kept abso-
lutely separate and distinct, and
decries the desire of the legisla-
tive to encroach upon the judicial
branch. Now I want to ask the
gentleman question. OF course,
be Is familiar with the Blackstone
definition of lava rule of con-
duct prescribed by a superior, and
which the inferior is bound to
obey:
Mr.. Jenkins: I yielded for a
question:
Mr.. Hughes: Yes. Now when
q judge issues an Injunction, |
ask the gentleman IL he is not
setting up standard of conduct
for everybody who comes within
the purview of the injunction, and
as he may punish anyone not
obeying 1t, is the Judge not then
legislating?
/ To which Jenkins replied:
at is impossible for any gentle
man to answer the question"
Sincerely, RATH.
