THE BIRD WAS THERE.
4 Surprise For the Man Who Investi.
 oatsd the News "Faks.n

Some years ago strange, weird sto- ries used to float into Washington from Kitty Hawk, N. C., describing a great bird, seen only at night, lowering over the sand dunes and brushwoOd of the locality.
 It was so preposterous that Kitty Hawk was soon eliminated as d news source in every metropolitan newspa per office. Washington would not ac- cept such stories under any circum- stances. The boys on Newspaper row were too experienced to be caught by North Carolina fakers
 Kitty Hawk was wiped off the news map.
 And yet the reports of the great bird seen only after nightfall!' were absolutely true. After some of us had exhausted our fund of oriental lore about the roc-that gigantic bird that was of such use to anxious Schahera- zade of the Thousand and One Nights" in rescuing Sinbad and other unlucky travellers from danger-and others had gone so far as to suggest return of the fabled dodo in stupendous proportions. it was finally suggested that somebody go to Kitty Hawk and expose the faker.
 Not on your life!" said I. There are as many fakes right here in Wash ington every twenty-four hours as care to expose"
 The one man who finally went with deep reluctance fathomed the mystery and. literally discovered" that two young Ohio boys, the Wright brothers of Dayton, had solved the impossible problem of aerial fiight.-Julius Cham. bers, in the Brooklyn Eagle.

THE MAN WHO DOES HIS BEST. ' ' E cannot all be geniuses or con vn/ quer wealth and fame, Nnl We cannot all do wondrous w things, to make ourselves
 name. We cannot all feel confident of meeting every test, But when we have our work to do We all can do our best Our best may not be wonderful, judged by a standard high. But we can all do something we'll if we will only try And if we try our level best. performing every task With all our might, why, that is all that any one can ask. We cannot all be famous-if we were 'twould cheapen fame, We cannot all be rich enough to give our selves a name. We cannot all expect to- be distinguished from the rest, But some reward is certain for the man who does his best.

THE editor of the Nenana News says that Nenana has a decided advan- ,ope over the coast towns of Alask in that the townsite is level. He fur ther asserts that when the wind blows at Valdez, Cordova and Juneau, as 1t does a large part of the time, there is always danger of falling off the town into the bay. Therein the edi- tor of the Nenana News demonstrates that possibly he has visited Juneau and Cordova, but is grossly ignorant concerning Valdez.
