TennysOn's Love for Birds

\ LFRED TENNYSON was all his life
Aa great lover of the woods and
fields Trees. birds and flowers were
his everyday companions, and he faith
fully studied the habits of Dame Ma
tures English nurslings. The lark, the
nightingale, the owl and the linnet were
his favorite birds. He was also greatly
interested in the sea birds, the pere-
grine falcons. the cormorants, sea
gulls. ETC., and in the long legged sea
birds, the visitors to marshes and
pools. He thought the curlew, of
which he has written in "Locksley
Hail. a very noble bird. and loved it's
wild call over the marshes. There are
many references to birds native to
England in his poems, and all of them
show thorough acquaintance with the
individual characteristics of the diff
ferent species.
AT Farringford the poets garden was
the home of the wild birds of the
hedgerows. The blackbird and robin
and the smaller birds focked there
in great numbers, and it was consid-
cred far more. important that they
should feel welcome there than that
the fruit should be permitted to ripen
proper order.
Domesticated birds also Tennyson
numbered among his friends. Brilliant
peacocks and more sober doves and
pigeons, he loved them all.

- and girls anxiously await the ar
rival Of The Junior each Saturday.
Aside from their natural desire TO see

Tired from an afternoon on the tennis

Oh. how dark it was. how cold and

click of the sardine cans and the smell
of pickles and cheese reassured US. so
with our share of the good things we
set bravely forth for the French room.
Every step took the boards

shut I gave vent 10 my suppressed
laughter. 1t seemed conta gious. be-

gales. We then turned our attention
to the good things and for four or five
minutes nothing was heard but the
clinking of plates and silver. No one
noticed the door knob turn SLOWLY.

ssY~ APTAIN JINKS of the Horse Ma
rines,, is we'll known character
in naval mythology, but the horse
marines themselves are not myths
They actually exist in the United States
service Curiously, but appropriately
enough, they were first formed and put
10 use at the navy yard at Mare island,
California.
About FIVE years ago. when Reac Ad
miral Bowman III. McCalla was COM
nandant of that yard, he found much
difficulty in having the more remote
regions of the island properly patrolled
by the marines who acted as the SEN
tries at the station. The beats We're
too long for the limited number of ma
rines TO guard on foot and Admiral Nc
Gala bethought himself of a remedy in
mounting some of the men. This was
not difficult, as among the marines were
some good horsemen, including a few
who had formerly served in the cavalry
Of the army. Accordingly nearly half
troop of horsemen was organized at
the navy yard and the first genuine
horse marines came into being. They
performed their duties well and are
anything but a joke to the marauders
who attempt TO trespass upon the gov
ernment property intrusted to their
care.
Deer are plentiful over nearly all of
California. but there are many pecul-
arities about them that few people,
especially city dwellefs, know about.
For example, the young deer, or
fawns, are the biggest cry babies in
the world. They are worse than the
human infant when it comes to squall-
ing. Grown deer are noted for their
vocal shortcomings, their silence being
a characteristic. but the fawns will cry
Justify when in terror or pain. When
one is captured it will lift up its voice
in cry that is an almost human
"squawk" and keep it up until rescued
or freed or exhausted
Another thing not commonly known
is that the male deer, or buck sheds
his horns annually. just as chicken
sheds its feathers in the molting sea-
son. As the autumn wakes the bucks
drop their horns, or antlers. whether
mere spikes" or "forked horns or
big four or six pointers. In the spring

score for that turn is nothing. The
score which the players are trying for
may be any desired number. but less
than 100 is too little to make good
game. The first person to attain the
score decided upon at the beginning of
the game wins. The game may be
made more interesting by making il
necessary to attain this exact number
and not pass beyond it. so that the lag
gard players may at the last catch UP
with the leader and beat him.

draws them out. Either the letters
should be placed face downward or the
player should cover his eyes while
drawing them out. After the first
player has drawn out four letters he
turns them face out and tries to make
as many words as possible from them
lie nrst uses all four letters. If a word
can be made Of all four letters which
he has drawn it counts l5, He NAL

~ NE can never tel what changes the
~ passage of years will make in the
character of an American youth. No
better illustration of this can be found
than the fact that Admiral George
Dewey, when he graduated from the
United States naval academy in 1853,
stood lowest, among all his studies, in
naval tactics and gunnery, the very
things his extraordinary knowledge of
which enabled him to win the great
victory Of Manila bay 40 years later
and become one of the worlds most
distinguished naval heroes.
On the other hand his highest stand
ing. was in Spanish. Whether or not
this was an omen of what the future
had in store is matter for individual
conjecture.
At his entrance eXamina ton, in 1855.
Dewey stood as low as 50 in class
of 3S. but owing to his proficiency in
mathematics he steadily oyercame this
and graduated near the top of his
class. He was always noted, while at
the academy, for his high officerlike
qualities, which became more marked
as he advanced in his profession.
Like most schoolboys. he had nick
name while at Annapolis. He was
known to his classmates as .'Shang''

The busiest season Of the year began
Monday for most of the merchants in
Danville. They are now taking in.

Of determining exactly the business
done during the past year.
With most business houses in town
this inventory is carried down to the
last detail, so that estimates can be
made almost TO the penny of the value
of the stock on hand. 1t often takes
as high as two or three weeks to finish
the inventories, especially when there
is great variety of goods in the
stock. This work is done by the clerks
in addition to their regular duties and
they are generally kept very busy un-
til il is over.
In general the business done by local
firms during the past year was salts

year, when the business depression was
being felt most, The. prospects are
that the business OF the coming year
will far exceed that of the one just
