The English Sparrow Makes a
Mistake.

An. An tndependen, spirit Is . thing to highly prize.
If there is one thing above another
on which Bully the English Sparrow
! prides himself 1t is his independence.
He says so. He is forever talking
about it. He says that the way to get
on in this world is to look out for
yourself and never mind any one else;
let them look out for themselves. OF
course, that is one of the oldest and
| most mistaken ideas in the world. but
Bully hasn't learned it yet. in spite of
the fact that what he calls independ-
ence is forever getting him into trou-

To begin with it had made an enemy
for him of everybody who lived in the
Old Orchard. There was not one who
would so much as speak to him. But
he didn't care. Not he! He dearly
loves to fight, does Bully, and so with
out any reason whatever, except to
show his independence and how fear
less he Is. he would attack his neigh
bors without any warning and then
| laugh at them when they flew away.
He called them towards. He hasn't
to this day learned. and wouldn't be-
1eve. if he was told, that the coward.
the real coward. is he who fights with
out cause. So he went about through
the Old Orchard making things very
uncomfortable for all his neighbors
until at last one day he made a mis-
take.
1t was this way: He had been wan
dering through the Old Orchard with
nothing to do but try to bully whom
ever he met when at last he came to
the far corner. where Johnny and Polly
Chuck live In the very tree under
| which they have made their house he
discovered a nest different from any
nest which he had ever seen before
/ In his usual bold way he started over
to look at it,

a sharp voice.

sitting on a branch Of the old apple
tree. He was larger than Bully. but

7th came the mysterious German re-
treat. Various theories were advanced
to explain it. First there may have
been sorties from verdun; such an
operation while the main force was
heavily engaged would bring havoc to
any army. Second. the army transport
service may have broken down. This,
after the enormous expenditure OF am
munition. might have compelled the
crown princes army to fall back or
be captured.

In order to avoid a collision with
the other car he turned his car sharp

hips. The members of the other party
stopped their car and came back to
his assistance and succeeded in get

prospects in Augusta at the present

two youngsters in the city that are
showing we'll and should be heard

is the bay 4-year-old FLY Pearl Bren-

man and race starter, Harry H. Lee
or this city, and which Is now being
given a course of training for the rae
ing game under the careful tutelage of
Johnnie Metcalf. The mare was sired
by Brown Braden, 213 IA, out of
Sewing Machine, by Jay Bird. Until
within short time she was a trot-
ter but Mr.. Metcalf has shifted her
over so that she now travels by the
lateral gait, and she shows every in
dication of being speedy, just how
speedy time will tell. The other colt is
the black mare owned by Walter r.
Webb, one of the best known Of Au-
gusta's race drivers. She was sired by
Emperor Wilkes, Jr,. out of the we'll
known race mare Brenda. 2:2s Ia. and
Brenda's sire was the great Nelson.
The colts are being worked out at the
Driving park, and in friendly brush
