DEAD BIRD TEACHES LESSON
Turoenieff, Celebrated Russian Novel
let, Tells Of Touching Incident Of
eoyhood Days.

The celebrated Russian novelist,
Turgenien, tells touching incident
from his own life, which awakened in
him sentiments that have colored all
his writings.
When he was a boy of ten, his
father took him out one day bird
shooting. AS they tramped across the
brown stubble, golden pheasant rose

his feet and with the joy of sports.

mother was stronger than death it.

wings, the mother bird reached the
nest where her young brood we're
huddled, unconscious Of danger. Then,
with such look Of pleading and re.
proach that his heart stood still al
the ruin he had wrought (and never
to his dying day did he forget the
feeling Of guilt that came to him at
that moment), the little brown head
toppled over, and only the dead body
Of the mother shielded her nestlings
Father, father!" he cried, what
have done?" and he turned his hor
ror-stricken face to his father. But
not to his fathers eye had this little
tragedy been enacted. and he said:
well done, my son; that was well
done for your first shot. You will
soon be a fine sportsman"
Never, father; never again will

CHAPTER ~.
The Candidate,

The butchers boy brought the It'd
ings of the auction sale in at the
kitchen door Of the Old Ladies' home
even while Angy and Abe were lin
gering over their posies. and the in
mates Of the home were waiting to
receive the old wife with the greater
sympathy and the deeper spirit Of
welcome from the fact that two OF
the Twenty-Five members had known
her from girlhood. away back in the
boarding-school days.
"Yop." said the boy. with one eye
upon the stout matron, who was criti
cally examining the meat that he had
brought. "Yop, the auctions over, an
Capn Rose, he Don't that cut suit
you. Miss Abigail? You won't find
a better, nicer, tenderer and more
tuicier piece Of shoulder this side Of
New York. Take 1t back, did you say?
All right, ma'am, all right" His face
assumed a look of resignation: these
old ladies made his life a martyrdom.
He used to tell the "fellers" that he
spent one-half his time carrying orders
back and forth from the Old Ladies'
home. But now, In spite Of his meek
ness Of manner. he did not intend to
take this cut back. So with Machia-
vellian skill he FASTENED on with his
gossip.

always appeared to us not only as
direct calamity that could befall us
but also most heinous crime that would

apparently at least, become possi-

tries dearest and nearest to our hearts
On one side there is no sentiment more
natural and more beautiful than the
loving attachment to the country

other side we are American citizens
who under all conditions have to con-
serve their loyalty to the great coun-

The tone of the note sent by Presi-

friendly, While insisting upon our
rights and the observance of interna-

the German standard and sense of
right. Reverse the position of the two
governments. Suppose Germany had
been wronged by America as America
has been wronged by Germany Sup
pose America had illegally attacked
German ships and drowned German
citizens. Would the kaiser do less than
