In an apartment house had summoned
his next door neighbor, a young wo-
man student at the conservatory, into
court and charged that the peace and
quiet of his lodgings had been disturb
ed by her singing.
The court was inclined to regard the
proceedings as u~nwarranted.
"How much do you sing?" he asked
the defendant.
"Only two hours a day." she answer

at night"

pears unreasonable to complain Of

"But, your honor" interposed the
complainant. starting up excitedly, II

The defendant was not at all loath
to sing. In fact. her personal assur-
ance and professional pride urged her
to make the most Of this opportunity
in the interests of high art.
She began an aria from Wagner, but
she had sung but four or five bars
when the court interrupted her.
"That will do-that will do" he said.

A BoboIink With . Canary son,

A 6oboIink With . Canary Song.
A friend of mine tells of a bobolink
which learned to sing like a canary.
he was captured when quite small
and given a cage beside a fine singer,
for which he soon exhibited q great
attachment. he would sit perfectly
still on his perch for a long time
watching his friend intently. then try
his best to initiate his sweet notes. He
tried for three or four weeks before
making any progress; then he succeed
ed IN sounding one note almost cor
rectly. When he realized his success
bis wild Joy was pathetic. and the
canary's pleasure was very evident.
Then he redoubled his efforts until he
could sing nearly the whole canary
song. After that he and Dick always
sang In concert. But. strangest Of all,
his character seemed to change with
his song. Instead Of singing but a
short time in the spring. as bobolinks
do. he sang all the time except when
melting. And he initiated his friends
characteristics SO perfectly that he be-
came a canary in all but appearance

DISCIPLINE.

months.o old Baby.
Binks had sent Mrs. Binks on a visit
to her mother, and he was on the Job
with the six-months-old baby.
In the night the baby woke and
cried. Binks looked at his watch
three.quarters Of an hour till bottle
time. He said to himself:
"Let him yell. He's a healthy little
Indian, and he must be disciplined"
Then Binks tried to sleep.
But Binks couldn't sleep. Every cry
grew more pathetic and abused and
heartsick and discouraged. Each cry
said more and more plainly: Il have
no friends or relatives. I'm unhappy
and uncomfortable and want some one
to be good to me-"
But Binks. the stubborn and stiff

stabbed him clear through.

After leaving Boston President Taft

members Of the japanese commercial
mission to the United States, and after
other stops in other states the 21st
of the month found him crossing the

day with the panorama of the white
capped peaks of the Rockies in view.
One Of the great events of this trip to
Colorado was the opening of the Gun
