THE LEGEND or The LARK
Tery Frctty Tale Found IN Folk Lore
Of the Aborigines Of
Japan.

The Alnu (the Aborigines OF Japan
have many legends about birds. one Of
which is very pretty. II is thus given
by a recent writer
The skylark used to live in heaven.
One DAY the God in heaven sent him
down to the earth with message for
the gods who reside here, telling him
70 return the same day But the lit
tie bird thought the earth such a nice
place that he stayed to play. He was
here SO long that it began to grow
dark, and he therefore determined to
spend the night on the ground. The
next day he arose in the air to return
to heaven, but God met him when he
was about six-score feet up. and said
Why did you not return as / told you?
As, therefore, have disobeyed nv
words you shall not return to heaven.
but live upon the earth. Although
you may attempt to fly as high up as
heaven, yet you shall never be able to
get any higher than one Of two-score
OF feet The little bird was exceed
ingly concerned at this. and arguing
with God, said; oh, great Cod. as the
world vow made is so beautiful
could not help taking a look at IT. and
so got late Although you chide me
for this yet | will fly back to heaven
In this way he answered God. But
God did not consent Therefore the
little bird grew more and more dis
lTessed and daily went as high as he
could pleading all the time; yet God
would never consent to his entrance
into heaven again He therefore re-
turned to the earth to play. After a
time he ascended and did the same
thing. yet God did not consent. The |
same thing continues to happen now
every summer but God never viii a.
low him to return"
This. as have said. is very prettv
and even spiritual but 1t seems TO
have been a happy accident. for it is
u striking contrast to the other ie-
yends. which are more or less stupid
and pointless. Forest and Stream.

Of the commercial traveller, however, for
smoothing out the burrows in the
wrinkled brow Of trade will unquestion-
ably enable those who listened to the
good advice Of John Temple Graves and
the equally good advice OF Lewis Nixon,
each in effect diametrically opposite to
the other, to patch the ragged edges and
make the two addresses piece together
into one harmonious whole.
Mr. Graves, the man who carried the
dove Of peace from the headquarters Of
the Independence League into the camp
of the Democracy, and cheered the hun

with the hope of victory but as well with
the promise of good governmental offices
