The heads of the hospital would not undertake such a move. At last the step had to be taken. and Layada became a county charge.

When Birds Show No Fear
From the London Tourist.


 Early on June mornings strange reia- ton subsists between wild animals and man. Those whose vacations this sum- mer keep them out of doors at an hour before most people are abroad must have noticed that the familiar attitude of timidity and submission on the part of beasts and birds is almost in abeyance, and that the wild creatures are inclined to regard the earth as still their own.
 In country lanes the hare returning from her nights foray meets the human passenger with an unaccustomed equa- nimity, and the bolder stoat or weasel with an assurance that is almost hos tility. Birds court and feed by the flow cry waysdes with a remas skable absence of the constant vigilance and apprehension which mark them later in the day, and even in London parks and wardens they show the same air of indifference toward the activities and domination of man. Car rion crows descend in the full light of morning to the tune of open spaces and pick with leisurely the bones thrown aside by the human vagabonds of the night, and the thrushes will hardly be dis turbed either in feeding or singing and hop aside at last with a casual negligence.
 Readers of R. l.. Stevenson will recall his description in "The Wrecker'' of the rice ship which the seagulls of a Pacific Island had made their own. The same air of insurgence marks in a less degree on summer mornings the half tanned and usually submissive birds of English fields and squares. For some hours each day in summer they cast aside the tlmidity which we consider proper to their na- lures, and can afford to leave mankind, completely out of their account.
 This novel spectacle, provided by our familiar blackbirds and thrushes. sug- gests some curious reflections In the pres ent year. It Is contributory evidence of the essentially perishable structure of all that we call civilization. Tn nomal times, or after I or O clock in the morning, it would seem almost unthf.Sabe that the reign of man at this epoch of the worlds history could ever be seriously imperiled ty brute force.

building. although in good repair, Is not modern The county expects to erect on another site model, up-to-date home with larger facilities for caring for in- mates and more amusement. Most of these poor creatures are the dregs of society and the great majority of them cannot read nor write.
 This entire institution Is lit with acetylene gas and is heated wherever 1t Is possible with furnace heat. The old buildings are equipped with large stoves. A complete laundry is operated.

 While the inmates are supplied with all the bodily comforts, they should have some little entertainment and to this end the county might direct its interests.

From time immemorial we have read and pictured the very end of happiness. the absolute abandonment of hope life's finis and the tragedy of old age in the county poorhouse.
 Ugly and hopeless. a place of whining poor, of dejected shut-in emptiness, un- inviting, unkempt. unspeaka ble-poor old men and women scorned by society the very society of which they are the vic tirns, turned out by ungrateful children and now a care on the state in this awful place known as the county poor house.

for with kick or bone for the end. Draw down the curtain on this picture if it ever did exist and visit with the writer the Jefferson county poorhouse.
 Down long avenue of great elm trees, the large middle house looks cool and comfortable. On either side as far as the eye can reach, are waving corn fields, occasionally an old man or woman, for most of the inmates are old, stroll leis- urely down the path; they look clean and contented. At the door one is met by a sweet faced matron and a capable look ing superintendent and if you are fortu- nate enough to be connected with a newspaper or have a permit you may go in, otherwise you will be greeted with sign which politely asks you not to ask to be allowed to come in.
 Although everything Is as simple as possible it does not lack comfort and is immediately clean. At the door of the hospital ward stood trained nurse who with a sweet smile let come in and see the patients. Most of them are old
