Told bv A Bird.

To say "A little bird told me" is a common way of getting out of telling the real way information is obtained. Little birds have, however, told. im- portant stories sometimes by means of notes fastened about their legs or necks. The birds most often employ ed for this purpose are pigeons, but a we'll known tiding was once carried by a seagull.
 Over twenty years ago a large ocean steamer. Atlantis, which ran between Liverpool and Calcutta, was lost No message was ever received from her but one. and this was found some five months after she had started on her last voyage. tied about the neck of a seagull in the Indian sea. The note read: Atlantis struck on the Harad rock. We are all lost. Father Coathe. {" No trace of the wreck or its crew ever came to light, nor was it known who Father Coathe" was.

An InteIIiaent Pussv.

A young lady bookkeeper in Boston has been in the habit for some time of giving the office cat a piece of meat for her lunch every day, precaution be- ing taken to lay down a piece of paper to prevent the meat greasing the floor. The other day at lunch hour, when the young lady happened to have no meat in her basket, pussy begged for some in her most intelligent fashion. Find ing no meat coming, the cat ran to the wastebasket. dragged out a newspaper and laid it on the floor at the young lady's feet. This appeal was so touch ing that the young lady went out and bought meat for the intelligent animal

How many people have ever seen 6 baby giraffe? Very few at the best In all there have been only four baby sphere; three of these were born al the Cincinnati geological garden. The first two lived but a short time, but the third one, which was born Sept. l, 1910, in the Cincinnati garden, is still alive and Is one of the prettiest little animals that you might wish to see.
 Giraffes can utter no sound-they are mutes-but the two old giraffes looked on the young one with eyes as full of expression and appreciation as if they had human intelligence, and one scarcely seemed to notice that they made no sound whatever.
 The picture shows the little giraffe when it was two days old. It was then five feet one inch in height and weighed about ninety pounds. It be- gan to grow right away, so that at the age of about four months 1t measured six feet six inches. That certainly is a marvellous growth, and a boy or girl who would grow over a foot in four or five months would be considered a, most unusual phenomenon. When we stop to think, however, that the old gi- raffe is almost fourteen feet high and can reach a foot or two farther by strengthening out its head and neck, it is easy to see that the baby giraffe has to do some growing to catch up with its father and mother.-St Nicholas

TRIBUTE TO FRANK SMITH
Rev. Shows Discourse at Conductors S Funeral.

Rev. Shows Discourse at Conductors S Funeral.
 | At the funeral services over the re- mains of Conductor Frank Smith, in Winsted, Rev. E. w. Snow spoke, in part, as follows:
 Once again death has come into our midst and claimed from our number one widely known both within and beyond the circle of our town life. MT. Smith was man of.many friends. His pleas ant smile, his kindly ways and his ap- proachableness united to increase the number of those who counted him a friend.
 He was faithful. trusted worker. For more than score of years he en- gagged in railroad work. Filling posi- tions of growing responsibility he con- stantly held the confidence and regard of those for whom he worked.
 Home to him was 8 very pleasant place and within it's circle he was kind and beloved. Life had for him it's suc- cesses and it's failure, it's fortunes and it's misfortunes. One of it's brightest ex- periences, however, was when love brought to him little daughter. Never shall forget tine evidences of affection for her that he maintained at the oc- casion of her baptism. How proud he was of her How anxious he was that she should be started right, that church and Bible school should fill their places in her life. Quite willing indeed was he to talk for her sake of his own religi- ous duties-a striking illustration of the truth "A little child shall lead them. "
 And then disease laid it's slow but re- lentless hand upon him and he went down into the miseries, mental and phy- sical, from which may God defend us all. But what of his wife during it all ? Many of us know something of how she has suffered. How gladly had she re- tainsd him here with her to care for him as only love could prompt. How agoniz- ing was the separation How constantly she hoped. Never visit to him was | to when she might take him home again and do for him. But it was not so to be. The wisdom of the institution steadily counseled against it, assuring her that it would be an unkindness in love so to act, and there he fell on sleep. Death anticipated for long time and welcomed for the cessation of suffering that it has brought to loved one has yet come as 8 great and agonizing experience to this home. The heart of this home is torn with great grief May the comfort of Divine love and of human sympathy unite to sustain and to help in this hour of need. May faith bs strong to realize the undergirding of the everlasting arms. May suffering prove friend and not an enemy. And under the shepherding of the great Shepherd of the sheep may love ultimately find it's own in the fields of the larger life,

, Sleepwalkinq.

Somnambulism has been mystery and matter of discussion to the med ical profession. since. the days of the ancients. They knew as we'll as we all now know that there Is such u thing as somnambulism, or walking in the sleep. They attempted to explain it just as modern medical science has been endeavoring to explain 1t ever since. But as 1t was then so 1t is now. There are so many explanations that even the physician is puzzled to decide which to accept.

A StorehouRe.

In the old birds nests that are placed near the ground in shrubs and small tEees close to hazelnut bushes and bittersweet vines in the country you will often find a handful of hazel nuts or bittersweet berries. They were put there by the white footed mice and the meadow mice that visit these storehouses regularly. A white footed mouse will often cover a birds nest with fine dried grass and inner bark and make a nest for itself.

Hurd and Mundy whirled and found
themselves looking into the barrels of

time he reached out anc grabbed the
fellows right arm. The two clinched.
At the same time Hurd grabbed the
second fellow by the nape of the neck.
The third man made a clean getaway.
The robber was giving Mundy a hard
tussle and having a revolver gave him
an advantage, SO Hurd released his
man and assisted his friend. The sec
ond fellow bolted.
The two then proceeded to pummel
the footpad and they gave it to him
proper. They kicked him in the ribs
and beat him until he begged for merry.
Then they released him.

MURDER MYSTERY UNsoLvED.

Hutchinson. Kan, June 22.-Unless
the murderer comes forward and tells
the history of his crime and reveals
the identity of his victim. 1t begins to
look like the mystery concerning the
identity and murder Of the young man
whose decomposed body was found in
the sand hills near Sterling Sunday
would never be cleared up.
There is a fracture on the right side
of the skull and the four front teeth
are broken off The motive of the
murderer seems apparent, for all of
the pockets of the victim are turned
wrong side out. showing that robbery
must have been committed.
From all appearances the man must
have been young and we'll dressed. He
was about five feet nine inches In
height. He is thought to have worn
a moustache, although the coroner and
others who made examination of the
body with hopes of identification are
not positive on this point. The coro-
ner estimates that the body had been
buried in the sand for about two
months or more.
The man was dressed in blue serge
trousers and had on a good shirt. His
murderer had evidently buried him in
the sand. but the thin coating had

FIND OLD TIME BAYONET.
Relic Dug Up by Excavators May Have
History.

Mcpherson, Kan, June 22.-An old
bayonet, used by some Of the old set
tiers or soldiers, was plowed up by
the workmen excavating the streets.
The bayonet Is of a very old design
used in the Indian wars and before
the beginning of the Civil war.
The early settlers of the county will
remember that rumors of Indian trou-
BILE were af1oat, but Mcpherson county
was spared much trouble with the red
skins.
It is claimed that near Turkey creek
there was a great battle between diff
ferent tribes of the Indians, the evil
dence being the immense number of
arrowheads found there. But this was
before white men came here.
The bayonet found in Mcpherson is
of the type used by the governm ent
troops in the sos. 1t will be pre-
sented to the museum of Mcpherson
college.
