CLOWN OF BIRD WORLD
.LOafer Who Cannot Even Make
Love Seriously.

The Catbird has more WITNESSES than
a minor poet, more streaky humors than
a circus clown. He can't even make love
seriously. And he's a !oafer, He sits
on a bough at q brookside out in the
country at early morning right about
cooked sportily at an angle: SO sitting,
he whistles love lyrics to his little gray
mate busily engaged collecting materials
for a nest.
The redbird. nor even the mockingbird,
has nothing on him in respect to purity
Of tone. caressing grace or sheer joyous
ness, however much they may excel him
in range Of repertory. And he knows
1t. And his little gray mate knows it.
And she's proud Of it.
But he can't behave: just as his pas
sionate love notes have lured her mo-
mentarily OFF the job of nest-building. to
turn and regard him with pleased eyes
the whimsical rascal throws his head
back and meows like a cat. or caws Ike
a crow-it's all a joke to him. Little
gray mate iiirts her tail Indignantly,
turns her back on him and resumes
work Then he flies around to another
bough where he can catch her eye again
and begins q new serenade Her sudden
wrath doesn't worry him a particle. He
knows women.--John b. Gorgan in Ma
tional Magazine for September

tho resignation of DR. II. x. Watkins as
one of the four attending physicians was
received and regretfully accepted by tho
directors DR.. Watkins has been an at

withdrawn from active practice and de-

The directors elected to the vacancy in

to his usefulness as "a member of the

that Dr. 7. S. Brown. the new super
intendent of the Mary Fletcher hospital,
is showing himself to have been a happy
selection for this important position lie
has introduced n number of far-Teaching
changes, bringing the institution
thoroughly up to date i'm every respect.
That the hospital and it's service are
being appreciated as never before is
shown by the way in which the number
of patients has increased as well by
the evidence of those who express their
great satisfaction with the treatment and
attention received.
