My Dear Cardinal Gibbons: May
I not express my very deep and sim
cere appreciation of your letter of
October sixth? 1t has brought me
cheer and reinsurance, and | want
you to know how much | appreciate
your own action in conserving to pre-
side over the important and infuen-

forts to make the whole character
and purpose of this war and of the

whole people.
With warmest appreciation and
cordial regards, Sincerely yours,

Croesus.

CrocSuS was IN ancient king of
Lydia, country I'm Asia, who lived
about 500 B. G. No estimate ever was
made of his wealth, but as he had
great opportunities to accumulate, it
probably was large. He seems to have
been a purSr-proud man and brag-
CART, for history relates that when
Solon, the great Athcninn lawgiver,
visited him, Crocsus made an osten-
tatiOus display of his treasures and
pressed Solon to acknowledge him as
the hnppicst of mortnls. But the story
goes that the wise old Athcnian an
Swcrcd: Count no man happy before
his death" Il saying which has passed
into modern provcrb. Many years
aftcrward, when Crocsus was defeated
In one Of his long wars and was taken
prisoner and was about to be burned
alive, he recalled Solon's prophetic re-
mark and saved his own life by telling
the story Of SOlon's visit. His captors
were so impressed by the story and the
spectacle OF his broken fortunes that
they released Croesus, but he never
had Il chance to boast Of his wealth
again.

SEES FINISH OF SPARROW
Writer Suggests That Information
That They Are Good to Eat 30
Widely Distributed. ~

The polemic concerning the sparrow
goes merrily on with letters in the
press In favor and in reprobation Of
the saucy little bird. The Art World
is taking part in the discussion. We
read:
Granted that the sparrow and star
ling are undesirable immigrants, what
are we to do with them? AS Sydney
Smith with serious face to the econo-
mist anXiously asking "What Shall we
do with our raw mntcrialS?" answered
boldly: Cook 'cm," so we say to those
who grumblc ut sparrow and starting
Trap 'cm, fat 'em, eat 'cm!"
This is far better tactics than tho
war of determination suggested by ono
man, since instead of appealing to a
Few rcformcrS whose labor would hnyo
to be paid for and their energies con-
fined to few places, it cnlists young
ana old In the primrval game OF hunt
ing for food. In the Bronx II is al
most impossible, despite the law, to
save amy birds from the ravagcs of the
Immigrant Italian. Let the news once
get start that sparrow pie is rs good
as robin pic and the result is certain.
The balance will be rr-rStubliShcd, tho
sparrow put in his place, viz. the pie,
ana the native song birds will be re-.
hcved of worse enemy than cats.

COLONEL WANTED THAT BIRD
Prospect Of Turkey Dinner Made Him
Z Overlook Any Little DereIlctIon
Of the Drummer.

During the Civil war one of tho
drummers, while the regiment was on
the move, had penchant for foraglng
on his own account, and the chickens
had to roost high to escape his far
reaching hands. Whenever night over
took them this drummer had good
supper provided for himself. On one
occasion he had raked in couple of
turkeys, and had put them into his
drum for convenience in carrying.
When the regiment was halted for the
night the colonel Immediately ordered
dress parade, and the drummers were
expected to beat up. The forager
made his drumstlcks go, but the quick
eyed colonel noticed that he was not
drumming. "Adjutant," said the colo.
mel, "that man isn't drumming. Why
amt he drumming?" The adjutant
stepped up to him, saying: "Why amt
you drummng?" Because" said the
Quick-witted drummer, II have got two
turkeys in my drum, and one Of 'em Is
for the colonel" The adjutnnt went
back, and the colonel asked, "What is
lt1' why, he says he has got two
turkeys In his drum. and one of 'em is
for the colonel" Up to this point tho
conversation had been carried on in q
low voice, but when the adjutant re-
ported, the colonel raised his voice SO
that all could hear: "Whatl sick is he?
Why didn't he say so before2 Send
him to his tent at once"
