The stronq. Silent Man.

You know the chap-broad shout
dered, square chinned, a trtfe gray
about the temples, with not much to
say for himself, but so strong? Every
one admires him-not at first perhaps,
but always before the end of the last
act, for the strong, silent mans ex-
istence is confined exclusively to the
stage.
In real life it is practically impossi-
BILE to be a strong, silent man.
We know a man who when mere
boy thought that he would be an S. S.
M. What happened? Did relatives
flock round, murmuring, "How excep-
tionally strong and silent young Her
bert is?' Not at all. When he smiled
cynically instead of answering ques-
lions he was accused of sulkiness.
When he laughed short, quiet laughs
the charge was changed to one OF
rudeness. The thing is literally impos-
sible off the stage. Women always
love the quiet, determined men-on the
stage. Somehow their tastes don't
seem to lie in the same direction "off."
'It is the silly ass with smirk, who
knows all about the forthcoming light
opera, who seems to corral the SEX"
saws a mere man. The strong, silent
man may be found, as rule, in a cor
ner fiddling with photograph album.
In real life he never seems to get a
chance, as he does on the stage. No
great heroism or tremendous renuncia-
ton is required of him. He is practi-
cally one of the Observation-Disclosures
phia Record.

akxIarks.


John Burroughs relates that a num-
sent him a score of skylarks in cage.
He gave them their liberty In a field
near where he lived. They drifted
away, and he never heard or saw them
again. But one Sunday a Scotchman
from neighboring city called on him
and declared, with visible excitement,
that on his way along the road he had
heard skylark. He was not dream
ing; he knew 1t was a skylark, though
he had not heard one since he had left
the banks of the Doom quarter of a
century or more before The song had
given him infinitely more pleasure
than it would have given to the natu-
ralist himself. Many years ago some
skylarks were liberated on Long Is
land, and they became established
there and may now occasionally be
heard in certain localities One sum-
mer day a lover Of birds journeyed
out from the city In order to observe
them A lark was soaring and singing
in the sky above him. An old Irish
man came along and suddenly stopped,
as If transfxed to the spot. A look Of
mingled delight and incredulity came
into his face Was he indeed hearing
the bird of his youth? He took of his
hat and turned his face skyward and,
with moving lips and streaming eyes,
stood a long time regarding the bird.
"Ah," thought the student Of nature,
'if 1 could only hear the bird as he
hears that song with his ears" To the
man of science it was only bird song
to be critically compared to a score of
others, but to the other it brought
back his youth and all those long gone
days on his native hills.

Teaching Cubs to XIII.

Have you ever seen cat catch a
mouse and hand it over to her kittens
to teach them how to kill? Well, a
tiger is merely a big cat, and she
teaches her cubs almost in the same
way, only not with mice. An East In
dian officer witnessed scene Of this
kind. An old bull bison had been the
victim, and the tigress had disabled
him by breaking one of his forelegs
Just below the knee. She never
touched the throat, the usual place OF
seizing, but allowed the cubs to worry
the disabled animal The eyewitness
relates that the cubs acted exactly like
kittens, advanced and retreated and
worried the victim, all the time new
ing and snarIing, while the tigress sat
near by, watching their antics and oc-
casionaIly giving the bison blow with
her paw when he showed undue ac-
tivity.

In an AIIinator,s Mouth.

The alligator of South America, says
a traveller in that region, is the reptile
most disliked by the natives. That
terrible creature feeds on fish, carrion
and animals which 1t is successful
enough to surprise as they come to
drink at the waters edge. Man also
frequently falls a victim, and for that
reason the natives of places where the
alligator is common have devised vari-
GUS methods for killing it. There was
a pond near where was once staying
where the wild cattle went in herds to
drink, and there hunters used to lay
in wait for them. One day one Of the
hunters, going into the water, came
across an alligator, which seized him
by the knee.
He began to call for help, but his
comrades, instead Of going to his res
cue, ran away, thinking he had fallen
into the hands Of the hostile natives.
The alligator had not good hold Of
his knee, but would not let go while
the man struggled. The hunter had
presence of mind enough, however, to
become still and pretend that he was
dead, whereupon the alligator loosened
his hold to take new and securer
one. When it did so the man pulled
away his knee and interposed his gun,
which the creature at once seized so
savagely and firmly that it was jerked
out of the mans hands.
Awkward, but No Chump.
Once there was a pretty woman who
came upon a huge ostrich in the des-
ert-
Foolish bird" said the pretty wo-
man. "You cover your head with sand
and think you are out of sight"
The huge ostrich laughed.
my dear madam" he chuckled,
there is nothing foolish about that
Don't you cover your head with hat
decorated-Eith my feathers and think
you are 'odt Of sightY"
Moral.-The ostrich Is an awkward
bird and eats horseshoes, but he can
hit back In other ways than with his
big Chicago News.

LIanos of Venezuela.

Venezuela received its musical name
from the early Spanish residents, who
saw a resemblance to Venice in the
sites of the inland cities. The llanos,
or bleak plains, on which the llaneros
live precarious life, have largely
changed their character since Hum
boldt saw them. Then these great
plains of grass supported innumerable
herds of cattle, but civil war led to
the destruction of the beasts to feed
the insurgents. The llanos are now
rapidly becoming a potential source Of
timber

Bore the Test We'll.

A famous dramatist was the hero of
one of the most amusing marriage pro-
posal experiences on record. When as
a young man he fell in love with the
pretty daughter Of a pastor he was
afraid to face the lady and so wrote
her letter He was told to call the
next afternoon and receive his an
swer. On reaching the house he was
shown into a room and given seat
on a sofa The servant said that the
lady would soon appear. He sat and
hung around in that room for fully
two hours, often tempted to leave the
house or make a break for further in
formation, but not having the courage
to do either At last he could stand 1t
no longer and rushed into the corridor
making for the door out Of the house.
Then he heard a shout of clear, silvery
laughter in the room he had left. He
fastened back and saw the face of his
sweetheart peeping out from under
the sofa, convulsed with mirth. 'Do
forgive me-" she calculated II simply

would wait for me. You have borne
