The Bird Bath.

If you are opulent enough to purchase
a cement ornamental bath it is well, but
if not an ordinary shallow pan with a
brick in the middle of it will suffice.
Why the brick?
That is easy.
The water should be about an inch
over the surface of the said brick, so
that the birds can stand upon it while
bathing. The feathered folks are gener-
ally very scary about their footing while
cement variety is the Best. If the pan

Above all things, keep the pan OF bird

birds can see the sneaking cats tina in

have a good look at the surrounding ter

A Catfish story.
After every meal

An old colored man at Jefferson City
caught q two-pound satfsh and was SO
we'll satisfied with his skill as a fisher
man that he lay down and took a nap,
With the fish beside him. Another
moke came along soon after, picked up
the fish and left a half-pound one in
it's place. When the colored nan woke
up the first thing his eyes sought was
the fish, and it took him several sec
onds to realize what had happened.
Then, turning the fish over and scru-
tinizing it very closely, he exclaimed
"Golly, how dat fish am shwHnked p

There is a good deal of confusion in the

DATES FROM COLONIAL DAYS
George Washington Hotel, in Princess
Anne, Maryland, a Relic of Coun-
try's Earliest Days.

Princess Anne. Nd. as its name sug-
gests, is a town with a history that
goes back to the time when Mary
llain94 w9s 2 1royaa! colony. ruled BY Lord
Baltimore from his great estate at
Dover House.
Naturally, YOU expect Princess Anne
to be very colonial in atmosphere.
The railroad station is your first dis.
appointment, being a surprisingly
large and substantial brick affair.
But then, railroads are great destroy
ers Of atmosphere anyway. The George
Washington hotel, which is said tc
derive it's name from the fact that
the father of his country once spent
the night there, Is all that you could
ask In the way of an antique, es is
the bus which takes you there.
The most interesting thing about the
George Washington hotel is its great
staircase, which was built $50 years
ago, and has not been substantially
altered since. There is one stairway
for women and one for men. These
differ in that the women's staircase
has only one railing, while that fol-
.men has two-which seems to impl!
that colonial men may have needed
a little extra support when they wen
to bed after the festivities in the greai
hall below.
