he had Il systematic mind and liked
things in place.
He was always able at moments
notice to put his hand on anything he
needed. So when the manager hap
pened to need certain price list.
copies of which had been given not
only to Gaven, but to every one OF the
other nineteen clerks, it was Gaven
who placed his hand on his copy while
the others were just beginning to Won

There was no comment on that, but
few days later when the manager
again needed certain papers Gaven
found them first.
Aren't you the man who gave me
that price list on Monday?' asked the
manager. Yes" "Weil, my private

IoHS ciS KS OCCya
All humming birds, though varying
much in size and color, exhibit the
same form of wing, legs and feet. the
wings being strong considering the
small size of the Bird. while the legs
and feet are remarkably weak and del
icate. Il clear indication that these lit
tie creatures are intended to spend al
most all their time in the air.
In accordance with this We find that
humming birds are never seen on the
ground; that even when feeding they
seldom trouble themselves to alight,
but suspend themselves IN The air be-
fore the flower on whose juices they
mean to feed, the rapid vibration Of
the wings causing them TO appear like
two fans Of fimy gauZe and producing
at tie same time that peculiar hum
ming sound from which these birds
derive their popular name.
The beali of most llClninin@ birds is
long, delicate and slightly curved to
enable it to reach the inmOst reccsSes

ter. The present warrants were based
Oh alleged guilt in connection with
important fires.
In some cases three warrants
charging separate offenses were TAX
en- out against one person. They
charge arson, burning to defraud and
conspiracy to defraud. In the arson
cases the bonds were fixed at $4,000
and where there was an additional
charge against an individual charged
with arson, an additional $4,000 bond
was required.
