BAD NEWS FOR BIRD LOVERS.

There will be regret among lovers
of birds because of the report from
the government breeding grounds
on Battledoor, Audubon and Breton
islands, on the Louisiana coast, that
100000 birds were killed by the re-
cent hurricane which swept the Gulf
of Mexico; but no such regret as
would have been felt had the deci-
nation of the birds been due to
murderous onslaughts by pot-hunt-
ers. Gulf hurricanes are occasional
occurrences, and they invariably
play havoc with bird life, but the
birds multiply, just the same, be-
tween times. There are no 'be-
tween times" in pot-hunting.

WHY re HAD LEFT PULPIT
.-or Ole Thing, Uncle Ike Was lndig-
nant at Ingratitude, and There
Was Another Reason.

When Delegate Mark Smith Of
arizona was boy he lived on big
plantation in Kentucky. 1t was in
slave days and one of his fathers
slaves was Uncle Ike, who was the
preacher for the place.
Smiths father had built small
church on corner of the plantation
and Uncle Ike held forth thNe every
Sunday. This was pleasing to Ike,
because it not only gave him al
chance to exhort the negroes, but it
absolved him from any of the chores
on Sunday.
One Sunday Mark went out by|
the barn and found Uncle Ike sit
ting disconsolately under a tree.
"Look here, Ike," said Mark,
amt you down there preaching to-
day?"
"Well, Mars Mark" Ike replied,
81 amt goin' to preach to dem nig-I
gahs no more. They's always fightin'
'mongst theyselves an Pm sick an
tired an done quit preachin'." !
"Stop your lying, Ike" said Mark.
"You wouldn't quit such a soft snap
as that. What's the matter?"
"Well, Mars Mark" Ike replied,
"ef you mus know dem trifin' mig
gahs done sent me my resignashun."

THE COST OF A KISS.

A conflict between chivalry and
self-interest took place recently in
the civil courts of Berlin. The chief
bookkeeper of a transport firm
claimed for salary in lieu of notice
of dismissal. He had been dis
charged summarily on the charge of
having kissed a female employe.
This charge he denied, but said
nothing more. A witness whom ho
called declared that, not only had
the plaintiff not kissed the lady
clerk, but the lady clerk, against his
will, had bestowed sound kiss upon
the plaintiff. When the plaintiff
was asked if this story was true, he
refused to answer. All he would
say was that he had not kissed the
lady. The court ascribed this reti-
cence to motive of chivalry, and
gave him a verdict for the amount
he claimed.

POVERTY ON 500 PER DAY.

Everything is relative, and so of
course an allowance of $500 a CIV

arated from her husband must be
Judged from the standpoint of those
whose wealth is great and whose ex-
penditures are lavish. Yet that is
more than SO times the yearly earn
ings of the average farmer, 60 times
the wages of the average factory en-
ploye and 90 times the wages of the

MIsJUDeED HIS CAPACITY.

Trying to eat 2S bananas, Lee
Pepper of Georgetown, Del, nearly
died from indigestion when he had
gotten to 25, and also lost bet as to
his capacity. A conversation in the
store kept by Otis Warrington in
spired the attempt. Pepper declared
he could eat % bananas, one after
another, and Warrington wagered
him that he could not do it. Pep
per started and ate the first ten with
apparent relish. After that the fruit
seemed harder to swallow, and when
the twenty-ffth banana had been
swallowed the boy stopped, doubled
up with pain.
