aware that in these days Of nature
study the veriest infant knows more
about birds and their like than many
an elder person.
Presently big boy pushed through
the group, looked at the bird kindly.
then stopped and took 1t up. She was
much relieved. "Will you take care
Of it," she asked him. "Sure!" he re-
sponded. with inelegant emphasis. She
was anxious that 1t should have the
best of care, so she helpfully sug-
fully, Better give 1t little milk
The boy stared. Then he grinned.
Then he yelled. "Milk!" he roared.
Milk! ha! milk" Then he streaked
up the street, carrying the bird care
fully in his hands and derisively ejac-
ulating, MIR"

instruction a check for two or three
hundred dollars. one OF the most In
teresting and valuable PIECES OF school
mechanical equipment in the State
will be allowed to rust away, when
by its use hundreds OF boys In Hen

Fairfield school district by tho Rich

motive Works, but the school board OF
that district having spent every avail
able cent for buildings. II not able to
contribute the $25 month for which
an instructor could be employed.
1t is pointed out by Mr.. Eggleston
that as many boys procure employ
ment in railway shops as soon AZ they
are grown, more intimate knowl-
edge OF machinery would be Of great
help to them.
Az an instance Of benefit he tells
OF a case where the father of large

the large shops because OF the knowl-
edge which he picked up from one
of his sons who had been taught to
read and understand blue prints and

REFUSES TO ACT

Knox.

JERSEY CITY, N, J.. Oct. H.
Judge John A. Blair Of the Common
Pleas Court to-day refused to act In
the case of Porter Charlton, the con-
fessed wife slayer.
The Judge held Charlton on the
ground that he Ia committing magis-
trate but absolutely refused to try the
case or pass upon chariton's sanity
or his extradition to Italy.
This puts the Charlton case up to
Secretary of State Knox to decide the
question of extradition. 1t is believed
Secretary Knox will refuse to turn
Charlton over to the italian govern
ment. as American murderers have
found safe refuge IN Italy in the
past. Should Knox decline to ex-
tradite Charlton the young mans
counsel will ask for his Immediate
release.
