Leesburg lays claim to the most
populous crow roost in the United
States. In second growth of hard
wood nca rthc Loudoun county seat,
it is estimated that from 100000
to 20,000,000 crows make their win
ter headquarters, according to dis
cussion of winter crow roosts by the
Department of Agriculture. The de-
partmcnt tried to get a line on all
crow roosts in the country, and the
Leesburg report topped them all. One
reason for the millions of crows in
Loudoun is the large number Of cat
tie which arc fed through the winter
on the extensive stock farms in North
ern Virginia.

Laws Unreasonable Doubt"

Ordinarily everybody knows what
reasonable doubt" means, and what
the law means when it says that the
prisoner cannot be convicted II the
jury has a reasona bic doubt of his
innocence. But when the judge gives
dozen instructions on reasonable
doubt, it is clear that nobody could
understand what is meant.
St. Augustine. when questioned
about doctrine of the church, said:
IF you ask me, don't know; but
If you don't ask me, know very
we'll"
The result is. in any important case,
that the confused jury goes out to find
a verdict, taking with them an arm
full of instructions, Melville Davisson
Post writes in Saturday Evening Post
Half of these instructions will tell
them that if they believe certain
things, they must find the prisoner
guilty and the other half will tell them
that if they believe other things they
must acquit the prisoner, and some
times the instructions will be so
drawn that, upon the statement of the
same beliefs one instruction tells them
to acquit the prisoner and the other
tells them to convict him. So they
do not know what to do, and probably
toss up penny on the verdict.

Passed Up Hot Coffee.

1t was bitterly cold. The woman
standing in her warm kitchen, where
the thermometer registered Is, and
looking out at the man putting load
Of coal into her cellar, shivered. She
noticed how red his face had grown
from the incessant slapping of the
wind; she saw he wore no overcoat
that his throat was not bundled about
as it should be, that his gloves were
poor, cheap affairs. Pity for the man
filled her heart and when he had fin
ished shoveling in the last of the coal
she opened the door and spc.ke to him
"You must be very cold. Don't you
want to step inside by the kitchen fire
and get warm, and let me get you
something hot? 1 will give you a cup
of steaming hot coffee"
Lady" replied the coal man, "if
you have any good whisky I'll come in
for a swaller or two, but 1 don't care
nothin' about coffee-coffee s no good
for Teller when he's as cold as l
am"
And the kind-hearted lady had to let
him go away, suffering.

OLD BILL GOT THE BIRDS
Truthful Person Comes to the Front
With Story Of Really Remark
able Shooting.

speaking of good Shots" said
Truthful, 'the best shot l ever saw
was Bill Slivers, who used to hunt out
here in the early days. Bill learned
the gunmaker's trade when he was
young and I want to say that he was
some mechanic when it came to that.
"He invented gun which he made
himself that beat any of these here
modern guns for long distance and &C
curacy. He might have made a for
tune out of it if he had put it on the
market, but Bill just naturally didn't
care for money and just made one gun
and quit at that.
"One day there was a flock of
pigeons flying across the country In
those early days there was terrible
lot Of wild pigeons There sin't any
more Of them now, but people who are
able to recollect back 40 years remem-
her when there were millions and mil
lions of them. This flock was flying 80
high that they weren't visible to the
naked eye, but Bill used long-distance
field glasses when he shot with that
gun. The fellers in the camp said they
would like to have mess Of birds and
Bill said he would just go out and
shoot dozen or so.
GAS l said, this flock was flying so
nigh that the birds weren't visible to
the naked eye and when Bill said he
would shoot dozen or so the cook
gave a derisive laugh and said, You
doggoned fool, there amt no pigeons
within a thousand miles of here
'Bill didn't say nothing in reply
just took his gun and field glasses and
began shootin' in the air. The cook
looked at him a minute and then said
to the other fellers, 'Ol Bill has sure
been film up on loco weed and gone
plumb crazy. Just look at the old fool
out there shootin' holes in the air.
"Bill paid no attention to the re-
marks of the cook-went right along
shootin' until he had fired II shots
then he came in and put up his gun in
the corner Of the shack. That was
just about seven o'clock in the morn
ing. At quarter past eleven the
birds began to fall. There was ~ OF
'em and every one of 'em shot through
the head. They was so high when they
was hit that it took 'em just four hours
to hit the earth.
"All the cook said when he picked
up the birds was, or Bill wasn't So

With an effect that seemed little
less than timid the girl offered her
hand.
Thank you, Mr.. Lanyard" she said
in an unsteady voice. II am sorry"
But she didn't say what it was she
regretted, and Lanyard, standing with
barred head in the driving mist, touched
her fingers coolly, repeated his fare

instructions, and saw the cab lurch
away before he turned toward the tel
