OWL HOUSES WITHOUT LINING
One Peculiarly of Bird That Locks te Be the Wlsest of the Feath-
 cred Tribe.

Owls houses are for the most part quite without lining. Whether from design or pure laxiness. the bones and skulls of small animals which they have killed are left scattered about the floor. Grewsome playthings for the owl children! But one can scarce ly imagine even a baby owl being anything but wise and dignified. It is easter to picture them apparently Eravely musing on these skulls like monks in their dark cells.
 Since SO many of the owls have their hones in hollow trees, we might expect some ot their near relatives the hawks, to be inclined to live in the same way. One of them, the lit the sparrow hawk, does nest in the fickers abandoned home and in com fortable knot holes.

THINKS NEW YORK
A HEARTLESS CITY.
Western Hotel Man Says There
is Too Little Sentiment in Busi.
ness Meth ods Here.

zone hears that after being in this
city year person always becomes
afflicted with New Yorkitis. Now l

ular ailment, although persons so af-

New York is the greatest city in the
world" said a Western hotel man.
He has had twenty years experience
in the hotel business in Chicago,
Cleveland and Pittsburg, with repu-
tation worth having. But he has been
actively engaged as assistant manager
of a small New York hotel for only
two months, and is not yet enthusias-
tic over New York ways of doing busi-
ness, especially in the hotel field.
"As far as 1 have Observed" he
said, New Workers are absolutely

others in business. For instance, !

to discharge two Office employees. l
intended to give them two weeks no.

and Pittsburg, but the man above me
said no notice was necessary in this
city, and l was obliged to let them go
at once, contrary to my feelings in the
matter. tell you, when hotel clerks
shake hands good night they scarce
ly know whether both will be working
in the same hotel the next day or not,
and I think that bad way to run
business. There ought to be a senti-
ment Of loyalty encouraged instead.
"Then I find that salaries here are
extremely low. An experienced hotel
man can generally do better finan-
cially in any other city. Here is an
illustration Of one thing that always
seems odd to me. Not much atten-
ton is paid to the position of night
clerk, although he is actually in
charge of hotel while on duty. The
day clerk has the manager or proprie-
tor to refer to when critical point
comes up in the day time, but the
cite a big Broadway hotel of 400
rooms that pays it's night clerk the
magnificent sum of $40 month, with
meals. Think of it! He is obliged
to rent room outside to sleep in, too.
The New York idea seems to be,
get business, no matter how, but get
it. 1 don't like the cold attitude as
sumed. There are still a few warm
hearts beating west of here, and it
would not give me any pangs to 60

How Shakespeare Spoke.

Shakespeare would find his lines
as recited by the actors of to-day al
most unintelligible, according to Dam
iel Jones, who gave an address be-
fore the Elizabethan Society.
To prove his contention, Mr.. Jones
recited "The Seven Ages" as Shakes
peare himself would have spoken it.
The effect was a hotch-potch of a
dozen dialects of to-day. The broad
"a's" justified the Lancastrian "fey-
ther" instead Of father, and the cock
ney nasal 81" sounds found full satis-
faction in words such as maid.
Other of Mr.. Jones' examples of
Elizabethan pronunciation have no
parallels in modern dialects. Watch
was made to rhyme with catch,
should with cooled, brew with new.
Fifth and sixth, he said, were pro-
nounced without the final eth" sound
and the word sea was accorded final
sound equivalent to the French &C."

The Red Ear of Corn,

Science goes on knocking the ro-
nance out Of things. They used to
think that red ears of corn were
freaks Of nature intended to add zest
to the old-fashioned husking bees,
the discovery Of one by young man
entitled him to kiss his fair partner
at the business. But down at the
corn show they will tell you that red
corn always produces red corn, yell
low yellow, and white white. How
then do red ears come to be found
in the white and yellow varieties?
This is the scientific explanation of
It.: The corn pollen is light and airy,
and is easily carried by the wind.
Some of 1t, picked up from a distant
field, is waited upon a field of the
other variety and in this way the
varieties become mixed.-Columbu

1t stands afar, mid sun-it fields
A little farm house, brown and old,
With ancient, gray and time-stained walls,
And sloping roof of gold.
And |, wanderer from the dusty town,
Grown weary of its heavy ways,
Wistful, from off the hot, white road, look
down,
For there, the nights were blest with quiet
sleep,
The days were filled with happy cares;
And there the skies seemed ever more to
keep
A time for peace and prayers.
There, youth and laughter, joy and hope
and love
Fang in my heart happy song;
Ah, mel the song is hushed forever more
And lost the streets among.
And now l stand and gaze with heavy
heart,
Across dear fields in longing sore;
To where another woman, happier far,
Looks from the low gray door.
O, little farm house, old and brown and
sweet,
wake, when all the worlds at rest,
And dream of you, and long for the old
peace

BEARS GET TOO SoCIABLE.

Uncle Sam has new and curious
worry now. 1t is to rrevent persons
from going around and petting his
big wild bears in the woods and
feeding them with goodies.
Funny as this is, it is true. So
true is it that the officers who have
charge of the Yellowstone National
Park, which is where all this is hap
pening, have found themselves COM
PEELED to post notices which read
thus:
1.-THE feeding Of, interfering with,
or molestation of the bear or other
wild animal in the park is absolutely
prohibited"
This sign was put up because the
bears had become altogether too i'm
pudent, owing to the bad habits into
which they had fallen as a result of
being pampered.
Thus it happened many times last
year that big bears frightened new
visitors almost into commissions by
ambling cheerfully into their camps.
Sometimes they would follow stran-
gers for miles, and the poor strangers
would race away, yelling, thinking
all the time that they were saving
their lives from wild beasts, while
the wild beasts loped along behind
them, intent on getting nothing more
bloody than biscuit or a piece of
sugar.
1t was not long before the folk in
the National Park realized that the
beasts were a great deal better off
while they remained in a perfectly
wild state.
And then 1t was found that the
human beings in the park would be
better off still: for big black and
brown bears, and now and then
grizzly, having acquired taste for
white mans food, began to break into
the camps and even the hotels at
night to steal hams, bread, cake and
anything else that was particularly
tempting.
The very animals that became the
most friendly were the ones that did
the most harm. There were three

BETTER THAN FICTION.

Lee Fairchild was night telegraph
operator in a signal tower on sim
gle track railroad running through
Weldon, North Carolina. He had let
north-bound berry train into his
block, and while it was burning up
the rails at the rate of forty-five miles
an hour, he was Mortified to see a
south-bound excursion train, laden
with four hundred men, women and
children, whiz by the signal he had
set against it $50 yards up the track.
One chance in a thousand Fair
child saw to prevent head-on coll
lision and frightful slaughter-and
he took it. AS the locomotive of the
excursion roared by, he stood for an
instant on the sill of the window in
the tower, then he dived fiat, six feet
forward and downward, landing on
hands and knees upon the roof of
passenger car. The impetus of the
train was SO enormous that it slid
from under him almost the length of
the car, and the impact all but
snapped his back in two; but he
clutched blindly, fetching up against
ventilator, and there he lay for
some seconds, hardly able to stir hand
or foot, the breath knocked out of
him. Within three feet was the bell
rope, but he could not reach it by a
foot, and to try to squeeze down be-
tween the ends of the cars would
have meant being cut in two by the
roof edges.
One thing only was left. With the
last strength in him he crawled over
tho roof of the car to the engine,
poised moment, leaped on to the
coal in the swaying tender, and
s0rambled forward to the engineer in
the cab. With blood gushing out of
bis scalp wounds, he threw himself
upon the engineer from behind.
stop! Stop! For Gods sake,
hack up!" he shouted above the
racket. Not second was to spare.
Down went brakes, and the fireman
ran ahead with torch to check the
oncoming freighter, while the en-
gineer of the excursion train backed
frantically. and on the floor of the
cab lay the senseless form of the man
who had saved trainload of human
beings from hideous death.-A, w.
