Elizabeth /rang.

] EilZdDtln rang,
Dear Madam-Your recent fayol
received and contents carefully not
ed received your other letters also
II | remember you ordered me &c
match seventeen pieces OF calico. and
pick out the gayest colors, in my
/ opinion, suitable for widow of your
age
You also asked me to buy you a
corset that will lace up in front. in
stead OF behind, and in your next
letter you ask me to buy a setting OF
duck eggs. carry them to the station
myself. and caution the agent to
handle them carefully.
In your previous six or seven let
ters you have told me you were a
widow fifteen times. am now
thoroughly convinced that you are a
widow; in fact think you are too
much Of a lady to fake the widow
business on me.
II you read the papers you will
probably note that congress has not
yet adjourned and that We are not
having one continual round OF pleas
ure at Washington.
/ would be pleased to do your shop
ping and buy your duck eggs and
carry on hand an assorted stock of
pretty speeches suitable for widows
Of your age; but in front Of me lies
pile Of letters three feet high from
every other woman in your county
asking the same kind of favors.
What you women should do Is to
be suffragettes and get together to
elect some counter-jumper to con-
gress. who knows more about cor
sets. calicoes and duck eggs than he
does about parliamentary rules and
International law.
In regard to the seed business:
Long ago we quit sending corn and
seed potatoes enough to each person
to plant an eighty-acre farm, also
the government does not furnish
samples OF live stock free. mentioned
in one Of your letters.
Neither can | assist you in getting
pension because your grandfather
knew George Washington,
The government does not furnish
the free envelopes To private citi-
zens.
! return you the 1873 dime. do
not know whether 1t is valuable or
not--I am not skilled in numismatics,
manicuring or chiropody.
Sincerely, c. ]. GILBERT.

Had n Great sy.tem.

Wilbur &. Phillips. the child welfare
worker. tells a story to show how sys-
tematized work will usually bring the de-
sired end.
A peddler climbed TO the sixth floor Of
an apartment house In an attempt to
sell his wares. The first man he met
he insisted should buy some Of his goods.
Finally he made himself such n nuisance
that the unfeeling tenant OF the apart
ment picked him up and threw him down
the stairs.
A man standing on the fifth floor,
hearing the racket, glanced up and took
in the situation. When the peddler came
crashing down TO the fifth floor this
man picked him up and threw him down
the next stairs.
A man standing on the fourth floor
helped the peddler ON by throwing him
down the next flight, This continued
until the poor peddler finally landed on
the first floor with a crash.
Gee, but they got some system up
there" he said Tuefully as he picked
himself up and walked painfully out into
the street.-Detroit Free Press.

STRANGE BIRD WITH HANDS
Ancient Peculiarly In the Modern
Hoatzin of British
Guiana.

The Hoatzin. a native Of British Guiana
is described as a bird with hands" And
the popularity in Its structure which
leads to this description is the possession
of two free claws on the wing Of the
young.
The nest of the Hoatzin is placed in a
tree oyerhanging the water and the
young, unlike most birds Matched in such
a position. are active from the first. And
the claws at the ends Of the wings are
used to assist II in climbing the trees,
which it does with great dexterity in its
early days. ,.
The growth Of the outermost Quill fea-
theirs of the wing. which might hamper
the free use OF the claws, is retarded till
the rest of the wing is developed suffl-
ciently to render climbing less necessary.
Then they grow, and the claws are alb
sorbed and disappear. The adult bird
Hoatzin fall into the water It makes for
the shore and SEXES branch, up which
II quickly climbs. g..
II has been pointed out that the young
Of game birds show evidence Of having
formerly possessed similar structures on
the wings 1t is therefore Inferred that
they had a similar habit. and that in
former times they built and reared their
young In trees. ....t. ..
In this group-includlng the barn door
fowl-the quill feathers of the wing are
still developed in the same order as in
the Hoatzin. that is, the outer ones are
delayed until the others have reached a
certain stage. Traces Of the free claws,
moreover. can still be found in the EN-
bryo. And il is interesting in this con-
nection to remember that even now the
pheasant occasionally builds and matches
its young in a tree.
The most interesting point. perhaps, in
connection with the free e,aws Of the
hoatzin is that they recall the remark
able structure Of the earliest bird yet
known to geology. Archaeopterpyx, lit
orally ''the ancient wing" was a bird
about the size of rock
Although the earliest known bird. arch
aeopterpyx. was probably not the earliest
wearer of feathers to appear on earth.
Future discovery may reveal yet earlier
members of the feathered race This
most ancient bird resembled the hoatzin
in having free claws to It's wings, and,
perhaps. like ii. used them in climbing.
But while the hoatzin discarded its claws
in adult life, archaeopterpyx seem to
have retained them-London Globe.
