matched with Maher, Corbett felt
mighty sorry for old Peter, and pub

on the chin discouraged O'Donneu in
the very first round. O'DOnneu fought
Maher again about a year later, and
again he lasted only a part OF one

Attraction of a Nail

A smooth poplar stringer was used
to lay the upper floor on in our COW
shed, and ten-penny nail was driven
into it about five feet from the stable
door. When open the edge of the door
comes within 16 inches of the nail. It
made a good safe place to hang lam
tern on when doing chores. Last sum-
mer a pair of swallows made a nest
there, and raised nice family OF
four. They seemed happy and con-
tented till fall, when they migrated to
a warmer climate. A few days ago
wishfully toward the old nest. ! asked
them if they were the same "teet tets"
that were here last season, and they
said "teet teet," so am sure they are
the same old birds. They saw me take
the fork and knock the old nest down,
and there | found the nail that l had
forgotten about, but they remembered
it, and within an hour had begun to-
plaster mud around there, and at
night both roasted on the nail. Next
day they continued to build a new
nest. What happy pair; they enjoy
perfect peace, perfect liberty, with
nothing to fear. We love the little
harmless creatures, although swallows
are so common and tame in summer
time Though not so beautiful as
some other birds, they are admirable
for their fine qualities. They never
quarrel, nor do the least harm to crops
or products of the farm. They seem
to subsist entirely on flies and insects
taken on the wing. E. D. I-''TG.
