COLONIAL THEATRE.
6iograph Cast Presents Martin Chuz- zIewit," Two Reel Feature.

For today the Colonial theatre has the honor to present Martin Chuzzle- wit,n the mammoth two reel feature adapted from the famous novel by Charles Dickens. It is the same in teresting story that tells of the elder ChuzzIewit whose fortune is in jeop- ardy because of the very numerous relatives expecting it as a legacy. The young Martin, grandson of the elder Martin, incurs the hatred of his grand sire, and is disinherited Other rel atives flock around the sick bed of the old man, and because he does not die soon enough for their convenience. he is given some hurry powders, and then the blame is difficult to locate. How that Is accomplished and the balance of the story is best told in the magnificent presentation at the Co., Ionial today.

LittJe Birds Winifred Saw.

Dear Uncle Jed: Monday as was sitting out in the hammock in our yard, which is under large horse chestnut tree, I saw something nov ing in the grass. I jumped out of the hammock and ran to see what it was, enough to fly.
 I was afraid the cats might catch it, so I asked mamma what to do. She told me to get a little basket and some stout string. put some soft cloth in the bottom of the basket and then we laid the little bird on the cloth.
 The little bird kept opening it's mouth so wide that I thought it must be hungry, so I gave him a few rasp- berries. Then mamma tied the basket up in the branches of the tree, so the cats could not get it.
 Then I sat down in the hammock and watched. In short time the mother bird came and hoped around on the branches. By and by she hop ped on to the edge of the basket and fed the little bird some berries and then flew away.
 Soon she was back again, and seem ed to be trying to tell the little bird how to fly; for soon he was on the edge of the basket and hoped a short distance; from one branch to another, all the time going higher and higher.
 After a while the little bird fell all tho way to the ground. Mamma pick ed him up and put him in the basket We think it must have hurt him, for he did not try to fly again that day.
 This afternoon we found another lit- tie bird just like him, under the same tree, so we put him in the basket too.
 think they must have a nest up in the tree, but the leaves are so large and thick that cannot see it.
 The little birds are gray and the tips of their tails are yellow. The mother bird is of a grayish brown color and has a small toplxnot on her head. Can Uncle Jed or soma of the Wide-Awakes tell me what kind of bird these are?
