with a bedtime story when she was
suddenly compelled to answer the

tention Of Immediately returning, Mrs.
Dixon was detained by a caller. The
boys grew restless. Finally, running to
the top Of the stairs, where he knew
his mother could get perfect view Of

The gTayness, the winds, seemed to
me to emphasize its truth, to drive
home its reality. And there was some
thing noble In its candor. Even na-
ture can take on an aspect Of tPick-
ness at times, or at least q certain CO
quetry, a daintiness not wholly free
from suggestions OF artifciaiity. The
landscape in the midst OF which Je-
rusalem lies is dreary, Is sad; in
stormy weather is almost forbSddlng.

There is nothing should like better,

the earl, glad that the fates seemed to

'You know, I'm not easily stirred up,

that Paderewski played one thing that

told whether he was playing an hour

A SMALL BIRD.
But 1t Had Mighty Swat Whea IL
Fell Dead Out of the
Clouds.

". Il. New5Sn tells Of an amusing
Incident in which a dead duck dis
playS4 mUre activity than would live
enc. The incident is as follOwS;
I'VE saw a small flock Of broadbills
approaching. They came directly for US,
but unfortunately did not stop for our
decoys. AS they arrived almost over
US we stood up and fred. l pulled on
a nice plump looking drake. He start
ed to fall, so l turned my second load
loose rather promiscuOusly and then
started to load up. Behind me Johnny
was still shooting. Then Johnny yelled.
and something hit me a mighty swat
on the back Of my neck, WhereupOn I
tried to clean a big hunk Of stone Of
fits barnacIes by means OF my nose and
front teeth. This may be pleasant to
look upon, but it is not an enjoyable
pastime.
'I had always liked Johnny. but the
thought that he had hit me on the
back Of the neck and was now laugh
ing was too much / started for him
with murder in my eye and a large
driftwOod stick in my hand. Johnny.
st1u in fits Of laughter, pointed behind
me and mumbled some words about
duck 1 looked around, and there be-
hind me on the rocks was the same
plump looking drake that l had shot
at the first time. 1t was hard to real
ize that such a small bird had such
mighty swat.
'When Johnny had come out Of his
commissions and l had picked the
feathers out OF my back hair we look
ed around a bit and found there were
four dead broadbills, so l cheered up
a bit. Johnny didn't need any cheer

RRrRANREncA.

T1mOur, the great Asiatic conquerOF,
commonly known by the name OF Tam
erlane, had extraordinary perseyer-
aRee. No difficulties ever led him to
recede from what he had once under
taken, and he often persisted in his
efforts under circumstances which led
all around him to despair. On such
occasions he used TO relate to his
friend an anecdots OF his early life.
Il once" he said, was forced to take
shelter from my enemies in a ruined
building, where sat alone many
hours. Desiring to divert my mind
from my hopeless condition, / fixed
my eyes on an ant that was carrying q
grain Of corn larger than itself up e
high wall. 1 numbered the efforts it
made to accomplish this object. The
grain fell sixty-nine times to the
ground, but the insect persevered, and
the SEVENTEEN time It reached the top.

HE WAS THANKFUL.

A Reporter Who Appreciated the At
tsntions of His Superior.
A reporter for q Philadelphia news
paper was sent up the state to act as
staff correspondent In an important
court trial. 1t was the reporters first
big out of town assignment, and his
managing editor kept the telegraph
wires busy with instructions and in
Quiries. For two days and two nights
the reporter had received dispatch
from his Office half hourly, and 1t be-
gin to get on his nerves.
AT the end Of the second day he
worked until o'clock In the morning,
AIed his last page Of copy, received
word that his story had been re-
ceiVed, and he went to bed. Just as he
was putting out the light the hotel
porter appeared with the inevitable
tray and the inevitable telegram. The
reporter opened it and read:
what time does court open In the
morningT
It was too much. He hated the sight
OF a telegram. He had been fleeing the
curse Of the dispatches only to have
them pursue him to bed. He sat down
and wrote to his office the most cOur-
teous answer he could compose:
Court opens at 0 o'clock in the
morning. 1t is now 8. Thank you for
waking me in time" Philadelphia
