An Indignation Meeting in the
Old Orchard.

Jenny Wren was upset. No doubt
about it, Jenny Wren was upset. You
had only to look at her to know that.
Her tail. which she usually carries in
the most pert and saucy way imagin-
able, actually dropped. She had done
what she had set out to do. She had
found out who the stranger In the Old
Orchard was, but she had been treated
SO rudely and she had been told such
| astonishing things by the stranger that
her usual high spirits were quite
crushed.
Il never felt SO small in all my 1ife!"
| said she as the other feathered folk of
! the Old Orchard crowded around her
after her call on the stranger.
Then you must have felt mighty
| SMALL chuckled Goldie the Oriole. You
know, Jenny Wren really is a very lit
| tie bird.
Jenny's eyes snapped and she turned
her back squarely on Goldie. He ac-
tually told me that he liked my house
very much and if the doorway was a
| little larger he would take it himself.
Vow, what do you think of that?'
| No one knew what to think. Never
since any one could remember had they
| heard of such thing. do you mean
to say that he had the nerve to say
| that he would have turned you out of
your home if the doorway was larger?''
asked Chippy the Sparrow.
Jenny nodded and her eyes snapped
with anger Yes" she replied. More
than that. he said that there are sew
eral houses that he likes the looks Of
and when he makes up his mind which
| will suit him best he is going to move
| in, and if there is any one living there
| they will have to move OUT
Every one gave a little gasp of as
| constituent and for few minutes no
| one could find word to say. It was
| hard to believe that any one could even
think of such a thing, to say nothing
of boldly saying that they meant to
! do it.
| Il never heard of such a thing in
all my life declared Chippy. Did he
say who he is?
! Jenny Wrens eyes sparkled mis-
/ chievously. Yes" she replied. "He
! said that he is a relative of yours"

Ready Within Next Ten Days.

Two meetings have been held by the
charities board, and efforts are being
made to get the estimates ready for
presentation to the Commissioners
within the next week or ten DAYS.
They will recommend that the work.
house at Occoquan be given permits
sion to sell manufactured products,
such as crushed stone and brick, to the
United States government. Under ex-
listing law. this institution is permit
ted to dispose of products to the local
government only.
The Commissioners are gratified by
the interest being shown by penal ex-
perts throughout the country in the
Districts workhouse. Last Sunday the
workhouse was visited by Frank Ran
dali, Massachusetts, prison commits
sioner, and President O'Brien of the
parole board of Massachusetts, To-
