The bright Title girl Is going on twelve.
She Is a remarkably bright little girl. She would
be also a remarkably pleasing little girl II I were not
that she SO frequently mirrors the fulsome fattery of
her adoring parents In ways Ike the above.
OF course my first feeling was one OF dislike and
antagonism towards this prfggish little peacock.
But my sober second Thought was pity for her.
Poor little girl She was only mirroring the bonn
bastic opinion OF herself which her parents continual
" held before her. It Is the most natural thing in
the world that she should. She can hardly help II any
more than a mirror can help giving back the image
OF what is held before 1t.

antagonism she is going to bring down on herself,

The funeral took place Monday
at Whiting and was attended by

The Bron1sd oraokis.

The bronzed grackle Is a member OF
the blackbird family. In fact. he Is
often called the crow blackbird. for he
looks as black as the blacklist crow.
II you get close enough to him, how
ever, you will see that he is not SO
black as he looks at first glance. His
feathers have glossy brownish color,
which makes him appear as II he had
been bronzed. and his head shows a
deep metallic blue when the sunlight
falls upon It. The grackle Is proud Of
his beauty and struts around on the
grass with his head up and his long
tail stuck straight out behind. When
he dies the tail spreads out and seems
to act as a rudder to steer him where
he wishes to go. Singing is not at all
in his line. and all his calls are harsh
and grating. Many Of the grackles
stay with us during the summer and
nest in the city parks and surrounding
groves. The nests are built high up
in the forks Of trees aud are SO large
that they can easily be seen from be-
low.

their return the president will review
the fleets from his yacht, which will
be stationed at the Virginia capes.
Then this vast armada will sail south

canal as part of the official opening
program. BY no means the least inter-
esting part of the announcement Is the
continued cruise of the combined fleets
to San Francisco during the Panama
canal opening exposition. This will

EiipnIna Care.

A man in Newport. KY. had a bull
terrier, and the dog used to go dipping
cars. You know what that means2 1t
means riding ON cars when the con-
ductor does not see you, and It is not
easy on the pay-as-you-enter kind. 1t
was all right for the dog, though. He
used to wait at Fourth street for the
Monmouth street car, jump on the
back platform ana ride across the
Ohio river to Cincinnati and back
again, and then at Fourth street he
would jump of. The conductors knew
him and let him ride free. But. like
children. the dog was careless, and he
fell under the wheels of a car that he
was trying to board. He was killed, as
many boys have been killed.

Don't Care was king OF all this realm.
A cruel king was he.
For those who served him with good heart
He treated shamefully.
When boys and girls their tasks would

And cloud poor mothers brow
He'd say; Don't care. it's good enough.

But when In after life they ionged
To make proud fortune bow
He lot them ind that fate neer smiles
On work done anyhow.

Must learn TO use the pillow
And pitch his tents a long way on
