BIRDS OF A FEATHER"

Judge Golf of New York. was ap-
preached by a professional seller of
painted birds n afternoon not
long ago, in the neighborhoud of
the law courts. and exhibiting one
OF the birds the expert asked the
judge if he could tell him to wha.
species it belonged.
The judge stopped, examined the
bird with great care pretending
to admire the gaudy plummage,
then examining it again and re-
marked:
Il do not think l have ever seen
a bird exactly like this. but judging
from the old proverb that "Birds
OF a feather flock together" ]
should say it was a jaiIbird."

WILL NOT LIFT THE VEIL

1t is nit at all likely that the Re-
publican and Progressive members
of Congress would care to have all
the evidence of the connection of
the Roosevelt administration with
the taking" of Panama paraded
before the world. There are too
many dark spots in that piese of
executive chicanery and too many
big" men in the mess, including
the purchase of the old Panama
Canal company's rights, to make it
a safe proposition to monkey with.
Hence the Minnesota patriot, whose
ire over the proposition to pay
$25, O0o, 900 to Colombia as recon-
pense for her injuries, impels him
to insist on the impeachment of
President Wilson, will have to cool
his indignation and his heels as
best he may.-HumbulJt Star.
