MAKING HER BOY A THIEF.
This I saw:


little boy with n wagon was rum
maging about a partly completed
house. He was putting into the wag-
on blocks of wood that struck his
fancy and helping himself TO the
nails and wood screws left by the
carpenters in their boxes.
The boy watched carefully about the
premises to see IL any one might be
looking. He appeared to be afraid les,
he be caught
On the other side OF the street the
boys mother kept an eye on her little
son and smiled TO him encouragingly
as he made his forny on the property.
And then. the wagon piled high with
the loot. they went up the street. each
laughing at the success Of the raid
When j saw that was sorry-sorry
for the boy. sorry for the mother.
was quite sure, knowing the wo-
man, that she did not realize what she
was doing. Had she studied the mat
ter seriously she would have COM
PEELED the little lad TO empty his wag-
on Of every bit of wood and stun.
She would have taken that occasion
to impress upon his young mind the
sacredness OF property.
She would have said:
Now, my boy, remember this:
Never take what does not belong to
you. however small 1t may be, without
first asking permission OF the owner
Instead. she was making her boy Il
thief.
She was giving him an easy first
lesson In larceny and coaching him in
the practice OF II with her smiles
What was the lesson?
Help yourself TO what you want IN
the absence Of the owner. but be caro-
full you are not found out,
Is II not SOP
The seed was sown in a fertile
young mind and, II not rooted up. will
grow 10 the day Of reaping.
That boy as the years go on is
likely TO widen his eBdeavors to get
something for nothing. and surrepti.
tiously.
Profting by his early lesson. be may
be so careful that In time he will
learn to "steai according to law" and
keep out OF the penitentiery.
Or
Some day he may stand in the pris-
oners' dock and his mother will wiring
her bands and exclaim: MY boy,
How did he ever learn 10 become a
thief?"

Feather Laden 81. Kid.

The lonely island of ST. Kilda lies
out In the Atlantic about eighty miles
west OF the Lewis. IL has under a hun
dred Inhabitants. whose ways are
somewhat primitive. A steamer al
why's goes In time for the bird nest
ing. and during the summer months
another steamer sails on special dates.
The cliffs. which beat back the whole
force Of the Atlantic. are OF stupen-
dcus height. One OF them, Conachar.
is about 1900 feet high and is cut
down almost perpepdiculariy to the
waters edge. Wild fowling is the sta
pie industry. and a party of islanders
have killed as many as 1900 solan
. geese In night. The air OF ST. Kilda
has been described as ''fuli of feath-
cred animals; the sea Is covered with
them; the houses are orna mented by
them; the ground is speckled with them

CHICKEN RACES.

The Ridiculous "Hsn Derby" inssi.
tutsd by Sir John Ashley.
II Is said that the browning triumph
or Sir John Ashley. that inventor OF
absurd contests. whose forte IL was 10
arrange races between animals which
nature apparently had l,ade most nm.
suitable for the purpose. was the in.
stitution Of the only races that ever
took place between chickens.
The story Is that the idea came 10
Sir John during visit to friend who
kept a large number Of hens. He no.
ticed how rapidly the chickens used to
scurry to their mother when food was
thrown TO her. This furnished the In.
genious Sir John with a clever notion.
and at mess. he then being quartered
at Windsor. he accordingly unfolded
to his brother officers bis plans for a
great chicken race.
He bought from a farmer a hen and
q brood OF chickens. Each officer was
to choose a chicken and mark II with
q ribbon. 80 that he could easily recop-
nize IT. The chickens were to be placed
about ffty yards away from their
mother. and whichever of them reached
her nrst In answer TO her cackie when
food was thrown to her wss TO be ad-
judged the winner.
And 30 this ridiculous ..hen Derby"
came or In the barracks at Windsor
and was witnessed by nearly the whole
brigade of guards. who travelled down
from London especially to see It.
The race was such a success that Il
was arranged to repeat It the follow.
Ing week Ii might possibly have be-
come a regular institution and a rae.
Ing stable OF chickens might have been
added TO the attractions at Windsor
had not Sir Johns chicken won on
each occasion with such ease as to
cause suspicion In the minds of his
competitors Indeed, 81 was found, Il
Is said. that in both races Sir John had
selected sturdy young cockerel who
was much too speedy for his sisters.
When victory was a certainty for one
particular competitor the contest. OF
course. lost interest. and SO the chicken
races at Windsor came to q sudden
end--New York Herald.
