FOR THE CHILDREN
The Robins Accident.

About 9 o'clock one morning there
was considerable commOtion at the
back of our house, writes q CORE
spondent Of Rural Farmer. The cook
called one of the boys and said there
was q bird caught on the top OF q tree.
/ looked out Of the window and saw a
robin hanging by a string from q thin
branch. l took a gun. fred and cut
of the branch.
The bird started to ny and did carry
the branch some distance. but weak
ness made him halt. and he fell to the
ground, where we caught him.
He had evidently been building q
nest and had picked up a long string.
In dying through the air the string
had in some peculiar way wound itself
around the branch Of the tree and had
also caught the robins leg. In his ef-
forts to get loose he broke his leg d.
rectly above the foot. and It hung sim
ply by a tendon.
took the bird in the house and with
a sharp pair Of scissors cut OF the foot
and wrapped up the leg with a rag wet
with al antiseptic solution. then
let him 60. expecting to . him
again.
Strange to say, the loss Of the foot
did not seem to bother him at all. 1t
healed quickly. and he stayed around
the house and lawn all summer and
went south with the rest Of the robins
in the fall.
Cornish humor.
The magistrate at the Liskeard 20
lice court might well have excused the
laughter which greeted the remark OF
q police witness only q short time ago
who said with all seriousness: "He
was drunk, your honor, and couldn't
stand. l told him to go away. and a.
he wouldn't / locked him up"
The laugh in another court wal
against the solicitor who severely ask
ed, "Were you present when you heard
this2"
Mixed metaphors are not q peculiar
nor indeed a common failing Of the
Cornishman. but a certain eloquent
town councillor quite recently got en-.
tangled when in the course Of q pro-
tracted debate on the momentous sub
iect of the local dust bins he declared
Indignantly. 1T is time we put our
