a certain Mr.. and Mrs. Robin
~ set to work building their nest
Suppose we try some new place
this year." said Mrs. Robin. 1--WE have
built in this apple tree for so long,
ever since / can remember"
81 am not much for new things"
declared Mr.. Robin doubtfully, land |
don't care if this apple tree is getting
old. Let's build here again; it's been
a good home for US for so long, why
changer"
Mrs. Robin good-naturedly assented,
and so the nest was built AVID the eggs
were laid-fve as beautifully colored
eggs as ever lay in a robins nest. All
went well until one stormy night in
June the lightning flashed and the rain
poured down in torrents. Worse still
the wind blew a furious gale. The
other trees in the yard bent and twist
ed under the force of the wind, but the
old apple tree had not the strength of
its younger days, and instead of bend
ing this way and that as the strong
wind shook it, it cracked brittily and
crashed to the ground.
Something awful is happening"
shrieked Mrs. Robin, as the tree gave
way before the storm.
Don't be frightened" declared Mr.
Robin, you sit still and I'll take care
of you" And he fluttered about vainly
trying to look calm and peaceful when
really he was just as frightened as
Mrs. Robin.
Down in one awful crash the tree
fell, slanting across the yard at most
pitiful angle. When the morning sun
looked down upon the orchard it saw
branches of trees twisted and broken,
green apples, cherries and peaches
scattered over the yard and. worst of
all, the fine old apple tree, the king OF
the orchard lying on the ground.
The little children who lived near by
ran out early to see what had happened
during the storm Look at the old
apple tree fallen down." cried the boy:
"And our robins nest was in that tree"
said the little girl unhappily, Il won
der If the eggs are all broken"
Hurriedly TREY ran to investigate.
No. the nett was not disturbed, though
the tree was so twisted that the nest
was tipped way to one side, and Mrs.
Robin could hardly sit on the eggs.
Lets move it to some other tree"

seemed to understand that their eggs
were being taken care of but they were
anxious just the same, as the nest was
settled care FULLY in a fork in the new
tree. Mrs. Robin futtered down and
tenderly examined each egg. Finding
them safe and unbroken she Uttered a
happy little thank you" and settled
herself down to keep the eggs snug and
warm.
IT'S a good thing we came out just
when we did" said the little girl hap
PLY.
Eyes, indeed" agreed the little boy,
for the eggs could not have stayed in
much longer, the nest was so tipped
in the old apple tree"
after this, proposed the little girl,
whenever there is a storm let's make
it our business to hunt around and see
if we can help any birds whose nests
have been damaged
And they always did.

AUTOMOBILE CASE
Chamberlin Fails to RecoV er Damages
from II. C. StTatton - Jury Re
ported Shortly After Noon.

G. Bacon and Z. w. Gibson and the
judge 's charge were made this morn
ing. The jury was out about an hour
The case grew out of an accident last
June on the road a mile south of ia
maica village, in which the plaintiff
charged that the defendant, who was
driving two horses hitched to a two
seated express wagon, kept so close TO
the middle of the roadway that, al
though he drove his automobile into
the ditch, the hub of one of his wheels
hit the wheel of the wagon, turned his
machine across the highway and pre-
| cipitated il and the driver and owner
| down the bank, injuring him and dam
| aging the machine. The defense claim
| ed that the machine was being driven
| at a speed of about 20 miles an hour
| and produced witnesses who testified
| that the wheel tracks of the wagon
| were as far in the ditch on one side as
were those of the automobile on the
other
1t was uncertain when court took tbo
noon recess what case would next be
tried, as several seemed likely to be
| settled.

Mrs. Mary Howe Burton Of Clinton,
Mass, Brattleboro 5 beautiful and
gifted soprano, her brother, Lucien
Howe, composer and accompanist, and
Leitsinger' s orchestra were greeted BY
a large and demonstrative audItncc in
the Auditorium last evening, tine oc-
casion being the benefit concert for
the Centre Congregational church. Tie
srvices of all the artists were con-
tributed for the benefit of the building
fund, and as for Mrs Burton aud Mr..
Howe their contribution was as q
memorial to their father and moth c.
Mary Howe was of course the par
ticular attraction, and it was delight
to the audience to welcome hCr again
and to listen to her exceptional sing
ing. An outburst Of long continued
applause marked her first appearance,
and at the close of her first number,
following the presentation oi a large
spray of carnations, the applause be-
came an ovation and Mrs. burton re-
peatedly bowed her Acknowledgements
Mrs. Burton possesses thai remarkt
able grace and comeliness that alu ays
ences and made her conspicuous fig
ure on the stage, and her wonderfully
/ flexible voice with its great richness
and purity and power, its perfect in
/ tOnation and its unusual range, to-
gether with the singer s delightful
| phrasing, brilliant execution and many
other musicianly qualities, amazed
those whose privilege it was to hear
her for the first time and brought in
creased satisfaction to those already
her friends
Six songs on the program were COM
| positions by Lucien Howe, and the
| exquisite Interpretation and feeling
| with which they were rendered brought
out the beauties of the songs in a
way that revealed the marked ability
of the composer. Mr.. Howe S settings
give rare charm to the sentiment OF
the verses. Much depends also on the
rendition Of the accomplishments, and
in these songs as we'll as in the othci
numbers the talent and temperament
of Mr. Howe We're very noticeable.
The work of Leitsinger s orchestra
was such as to increase the pride
which the community takes in this or
ganization. In the overture Die Eut
fuhrung, by Mozart, especially did il
please the audience. The cornet solo
Schubert s Serenade, by Sewall Morse
was received with great applause anC
was repeated. G. NJ. Dugan, in hi:
leadership of the orchestra and his VIC
lin obligato to the song Ava Maria, by
{ Bach Gounod, clearly revealed tht
qualities of an artist. The use of tn,
Vose & Sons piano was given by l.. II

For encore songs Mrs. Burton gave
some of the old-time favorites, frs
Annie Laurie, then Comm Thro' tn,
