Why the Cuckoo Builds No Nest.


 A Danish legend about the cuckoo is very curious. It relates that when in the early spring time it's voice is first heard in the woods every village girl kisses her hand and asks the question, Cuckoo, cuckoo, when shall I be mar ried? And every old person, borne down with age and rheumatism, asks, Cuckoo, ,~cuckoo, when shall I be re- leased from this worlds caresY' The bird in reply continues to sing cuckoo" and as many times as he sings they count one year to the full fillment of their desires. It is said that the poor bird has so many questions put to her that before she realizes it the building season has gone by and she is forced to put her eggs into the hedge sparrow's nest.

THE COLUMBINE.

The Yellow rose of Texas may be
beautiful to see,
And they say there's none so fair as
the bellies of Tennessee.
But, although, they may have many
who worship at their shrine,
The sweetest flower of all to me is
the dear old Columbine.
o Columbine, sweet Columbine, love
thy name so well.
You are the dearest flower that grows
on mountains, plains or dell.
You're the flower of Colorado, the
Queen state of the West;
You decorate the hillsides of the state
that I love best.
Our girls of Colorado are like our
flower so blue;
Its petals are not brighter than their
eyes of purest hue,
They are not proud nor naughty, but
sweet as flowers they grow.
For on the rich and poor alike their
smiles on all bestow.
So young man if you are lonely, your
life seems bleak and bare,
If you think there's no one in the
world for whom you really care,
Then come out West pray you and
for you the sun will shine.
Just come out to Colorado and pluck
Columbine.
