Tender Hearted.

Mr.. Silas Pikweed steps into the
long corridor OF the Upthere building.
He gazes at the row of elevator gates,
squirting with some amazement at
their iron bars. He glances apprehen.
sively at the elevator starter, who,
with star on breast and brass buttons
On his uniform, Is an imposing sight

asks.
"Yes-1435." answers the starter
quickly.
How longs he been in-been

Since last May. Want to see him?"
NO no. | guess not"
And Silas almost tiptoes back to the
street, where he stops and signs and
murmurs to himself:
Poor Jim! His pa told me the
number of the street where I could
lind him, but bet his pa doesn't
know about II. amt got the heart
to let Jim see me while he is in dis

TELEGRAPHED TO THE CAT
How a College Girl Let Her Mother
Know She Was a Phi Beta
Kappa.

A bright college girl who had won
a membership in the Phi Beta Kappa
society was so eager to announce the
fact at home that she telegraphed the
news. Fearing to alarm an overanx-
ious mamma with the telegram she ad-
dressed 1t TO the family cat. This roy

the name of "Tiglath Plloser."
When this message was licked off

himself stumped, wrote 1t out brave
ly:
Dear Mammal have captured a
Phibetakapakey.

The messenger boy got into further
trouble by inquiring of the dignified
maid of color who opened the door if
Italians lived there and receiving an
indignant negative he retaliated:
We'll, they must be a set of dippy
freaks, anyway"

CHANGING NOTES OF BIRDS
Their Calls Vary Decidedly In the
Changing Circumstances Of Sun
shine and Storm.

One of the most interesting features
In the study of bird life is TO note
their varying calls in the changing
circumstances of sunshine and storm.
The frequent snowfalls of the recent
winter have often been heralded by
the mournful "cluck-cluck" of the
blackbirds as they flock around the
doors. looking for the crumbs that
custom has led them TO expect. The
mavis Is mostly mute during a storm,
and tells his tale of woe more by his
RULED feathers and dropping wing
than by his voice. His note, however
is the first 10 welcome change to

the blue felt or fieldfare, does not fire.

is no more certain sign of approach OF
severe weather than a flock of these
birds flying southwark. Their note Is
an ominous "chuck, chuck" and but
for that they would often pass unno-

The skylark also passes south ut

 AN OLD RIVERMAN

From the Clinton, Mo-, Democrat.
 'In an old, rickety houseboat blocked above the river bank near Rocheport, in Boone county, is an aged recluse who spends his time fishing and reading the Bible. For IS years he has lived there and fshed. But seven years ago the cur rent of his life changed. Selling fish in Rocheport he chanced into a revival meeting then being held by the Rev. A. N. Lindsey, now of Clinton. The Word fell on good ground, He became inter- ested, bought a Bible and after seven years of studying the one book proudly declares he has in it as good library as any man in Missouri. He has read it from cover to cover Is times, and can quote accurately for hours at a time. He says he has read the books of Isaiah and John approximately 50 times. The river just caught me- he says, and has held me ever since. Peter and James and John and Andrew must have thought of their nets even when fishers of men. I have been 49 years on the river. It's to me "as cold water to thirsty soul" That's Scripture.

From "The Stage" by James F. Mur-
 doch
 Miss Tree fMrs. Charles Kean) was per- forming at the old Chestnut Street Thea Ire, Philadelphia The play for the night was "The Gamester," Miss Tree playing the devoted wife, Mrs. Beverly-one of those performances which few of her ad- mirers can ever forget. MT. Webb was playing Stukey, the villain, and in con- sequence of having taken too much sherry at dinner, he was somewhat ob- livious to the language of the part Miss Tree gave him, as it is termed, the word,' several times, which MT. Webb took up with so much poiteness and for mality as to render the scene ridiculous, considering the stern villainy of the character and it's relation to that of Mrs. Beverly.
 Finally the audience became aware of the true state of the case, and as usual, in spite of their respect for the lady, be- gan to litter, while a few hissed. Miss Tree was compelled at last to walk up stage and take a seat with her back to Mir. Webb. By this time Webb began to see now matters SlOOO, ana, d tnOTOuEIlIy polite man under all circumstances, he was now overwhelming punctilious, and with assumed sobriety of tone. though hesitating in articulation, and rather un- steady in his walk, he approached the footlights with low bow and said:
 Ladies and gentlemen, am anxious to remove from your minds an evident mis- concerning the true situa- tion of affairs existing on the stage. l see-I feel, indeed-I may say, very sensi- bly reaize-the fact that you perceive that somebody here is intoxi-intoxica- that is, in plainer words, drunk. Now, ladies and gentlemen, allow me to say that justice compels me to assure you, for fear your impressions should lead to erroneous conclusions-to assure you, say, that whoever is guilty of the un- pardonable impropriety I have alluded to, on the honor of a gentleman believe me. the offending party is not Miss Ellen Trea

Reported Bills Before Legislature

Bills that have been favorably re- ported by committee certainly should be acted on before the ad- journment of the legislature. The loafing of the members should be fol- lowed by twelve days of hard work. The passage or defeat of twenty bills a day would clear the calendars, and the people are entitled to action on all reported bills. This is what they selected senators and representatives to do. This is what senators and rep resentatives are paid to do. No re- ported bill should be left unacted on when the hour of final adjournment of this session comes.
 Of the vast number of unreported bills little need be said. A bill that cannot command a favorable report from a standing committee is pre- sumably an unworthy bill. There may be exceptions, but the exceptions are probably not numerous. But it is a matter of injustice to let reported bills go without action. By hard work every one of such bills can be voted through or out before the legislature adjourns. In all fairness and justice, gentlemen of the legislature, let this be done. Work even more than you have loafed, and give the people the benefit of the legislation they are seeking, or else let them know why they cannot have it. Action is all that is needed, be it favorable or unfavor- ahle.
