when she first received it, but the

So she stood before the table with

she threw flour at him. Then she be-

Ell Paso's Little Brother

THE LITTLE red headed finch, that is FL PasOs own bird, began his trns
and roundeays at the break of day the first of January, and has stuck
- to his resolution to make the best of things ever since. He sings during
all the shining hours His head shines sin the sun, his ruby throat swens out, he
sings like a lark, flying he sings from the caves, he sings from the root, he sings
from the telephone wires
England may praise her nghtngaIes and Germany her canares, and all the
other bright little chonsters over the world that stay lear the streets and houses
Of men, and sing their thanks for living deserve all the praise they get; but no
one # them deserves more, OF gets less, than the FL Paso fnches.
No poems are written to them, scarcely a citizen pauses at his task to notice
that fine rapture; but as al exquisite part of FL PasOs bOuntfuI gift of grace
from heaven, the finch should be recognized and protected and encouraged, poems
should be written to him, pictures painted of him.
Every man, woman, and child should recognize him; and cmdhen-espeaany
boy children with Christmas guns-shoud be warned against doing him harm in
any way, this bright, cheerful little brother of Ell Paso.

A new Use
For A Talking Machine Seen At The

A new use for talking machine
was discovered Thursday morning at

who was transferring from Akron to

supplement fame, this gentleman had
three children under his charge, MAN.
ma not being present to assist in the
labor.
The children became restless and
fretful, and were evidently great
annoyance to the gentleman. Finally,
a brilliant idea seized him. He open
ed his suit case and produced from
1t a life-size talking machine, calmly
put on a record and switched ON the
needle.
The effect was as desired The
children ceased their winnings and
became greatly interested. Four rec
ords were played before the 1l:33
train pulled in, and not only the chill
dren, but all the waiting passengers,
were greatly entertained.
