What Bird7

Tier Older sister is student of zool-
oSy IN high school, and therefore must
keep her eyes and ears open for early
spring bird arrivals. Little Peggy
also helps.
They were out tramping recently
and their course took them through
strip of swamp and marsh in the
WOODS. Only few birds had been
spotted up to that time, so they were
ON the alert for any call.
What kind of bird is that, Mar
garet?' asked Peggy.
Margaret investigated.
They listened for a long time with
no results. Then Peggy cried:
There it goes" and they all heard
an early bullfrog give big, deep
croak.-Indanapolis News.

A JUDGES humor.


As the result of Judge Landis' Pc
culiar sense Of humor many "stories"
have gone the rounds.
While practicing law he was en-
gagged in case before Federal Judge
Christian Kohlsaat. There were two
other federal judges in Chicago. They
were Judge James Henley and Judge
Peter Grosscup.
Judge Kohlsaat called young Lands
to the bench.
Say" he said to the young attor-
ney in severe tone. II understand
you have been referring to me as
Chris Kohlsaat?"
Young Lands grinned and said:
"I'll bet know who told you that.
1t was either Jim Henley or Pete
Grosscup."
His sense of humor has never de-
serted him.-Case and Comment.
