The Value OF A Sparrow.

Five conductors of freight trainin Mich
igdn recently joined in a letter request
ing the division superintendent at Sagi-
nav to side track car No. l2,270 They
gave their reason.
When car No. 1920 left the repair
tracks at MuSkegon, after period OF en-
forced inactivity, and the "bad order"
chalk-mark was removed from its side
door, Night Switchman Patrick Hawkins
told Conductor Stark OF train No. 81 that
he wished the car could have remained a
little longer in the yard, for sparrow
had built a nest in the car, and had a
family OF little birds within.
Conductor Stark had no discretion in
the matter, and cars were in demand; so
the car was hauled TO Fremont.
When train No. 81 arrived at Fremont,
the mother bird was found, riding on the
top OF it. Sometimes flying above it, and
sometimes riding upon the car, the spar
row followed TO White Cloud, where the
car became part OF train No. l0l. But
Conductor Stark told Conductor Battema
about the bird; and at Big Rapids, where
the car was dropped, Conductor Battema
left word with the trainmen and switch
men about the sparrow.
Conductor Burritt hauled the car back
10 White Cloud, leaving the door open a
little, so that the sparrow could get in to
her nest.
BY the time the car returned TO White
Cloud half the men on the railroad knew
about it, and Conductor Wiloughby, who
hauled the car to Baldwin IN train No.
2l0, was on the lookout for il; and so
was Conductor Hess, who brought the
car to Saginaw in train No. 50. Every
conductor on the line by this time knew
the number of car II, 30, and part OF
the freight it carried.
There was not man in the employ OF
the railroad who would have hurt the
mother bird or one OF the little ones
Still, ii was periouS life for the little
mother and the young, for the mother
never flew away for a worm with any
certainty Of finding her nest where she
left il.
And so five railway conductors, Stark,
Battema, Bunitt, WilIoughby and Hess,
joined in a written report concerning the
car and the family it contained, and re-
quested that the car be side tracked un-
til the little birds were old enough to fly.
Trainmaster Muny consulted the Of
ficerS OF the road, and issued an order
that car No. 1920 was not TO be moved
or moleSted until further orders. That
order held good till the young birds took
their flight.

farthing? And one Of them shall not faI
on the ground without your Father"
Surely il is because men have in them
some little OF the love of the Father that
they show kindness TO his creatures.

Don't Look For Flaws.

Don't look for flaws as you go through lie,
And even when you find them
II is wise and kind 10 be somewhat blind,
And look for the virtues behind them
For the cloudest night has hint OF the light
Somewhere in the shadows hiding;
II is better far 10 hunt for star
Than the spots on the sun abiding.
The world will never adjust itself
To suit your whim 10 the letter;
Some things must go wrong your whole life long
And the sooner you know it the better
II is folly 10 fight with the Infinite,
And 60 under at last in the wrestle:
The wiser man shapes into Gods plan,
As the water shapes into the vessel

his father law, where one of them
smashed door, gathered some of their
friends and went to McLain's house
for revenge, and that Lobley struck
MeLain several times on the head
with club. whereupon McLain fired
several shots in self-defence.
This is McLains story and it is also
the officers version of the affair Nc
Lain was severely beaten and was in
bed when the sheriff went TO arrest
him. He offered no resistance what
ever. and Sheriff White says that the
reports of McLain barricading his
house and defying the officers are pure
inventions. The officers say that con-
trary to first reports McLain is not
a drinking man, but that Lobley and
Applebee We're both under the in
fiuence of liquor.
