The One Young Mark Twain Sprung

Mark Twain's father was an ornithol-

were also enthusiasts on the subject OF

covered a rara avis il was the custom
to have a consultation. Mark had been
n witness of several OF these bird in
quests and had noted the delight the
old men took in discussing new
found specimen. One day il occurred
to him TO provide the Hannibal orni-
biologists with Il real circus in the
form OF bird. He killed n crow and
also barnyard rooster. Plucking out
the tail feathers of both the crow and
the rooster. he substituted the ROSTERS

The old gentleman gazed upon the
specimen with establishment. That
evening the ornithologists Of Hannibal
were assembled in Mr.. Clemens par
Tor. The rare specimen was put be-
fore them. The discussion was long
and learned. The opinions expressed
were various. One thought the bird
was an offshoot OF the bird OF para
disc family; others had equally ridicu-
lous notions as to its ancestry. But
there was one who refused TO be
swervcd b. the popularity Of the

was of the crow family.
