But Mrs. Robin did not return,
and uncle Wiggily said:
..Never mind. I'll come every

So the bunny did this, and ne
nayer said a word to Nurse Jane

doing. He wanted to surprise her.
FOR over week Uncle Wiggily

father robin keep the eggs warm,
and then, one afternoon, all OF a

in the nest, something stirred un-

came the baby robins! Yes, really!
"Oh, you're not our mother"
they chirped. :.

But what has given good friends to me.

YOUNG LADY STUDENTS
OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS

my MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wiREl
Edinburgh, Scotland, Aug q
Young women students of the UNI
versity of Edinburgh have revolted
against what they regard as child
ishn restriction in the use of latch
KEYS after the regulation hour TOT
closing the hall in which they i've.
Thirty-three students OF Massoh
hall, one of the numerous hostels III
which women students reside, nave
gone on record as refusing to opey
instructions regarding the use OF
night keys. The girls assert thaI
they are being treated as chlluren
rather than as young women well
able TO take care of themselves.
The protest resulted in a petition
to the university requesting a
change in the warden OF the nan.
The view of the management Is
that too much liberty was given the
girls under the previous regime ana
That unless they alter their petitloh'
tho girls must leave the hall at the
end of the session.
The Pail Mall Gazette OF Lohdon
in commenting on the lhcioei'
says: A., rt;ou-
lar case we are not cohcerhe9i

which sooner or later will have 70

Few persons are aware that the
traditional heraldic color OF Ire

comes from the mixing of the ma

Just as the mixing of blue and vel

Ulster Orangemen joined the Irish
nationaIfsts, calling themselves the
United Irishmen. in 1898, they
adopted the green rag as an EN-

as to his burial place. Following
his execution, his body was IN
tered in Bullys Acre, near XII

moved to st. Michaefs churchyard

Undoubtedly honesty is the best policy" But
real honesty is a virtue. Too many people are honest
only when they consider it the best policy. Honesty
is not a virtue with this class of peope-just a
policy. If they think they will not be found out in
dishonest transactions their policy is to be dishonest
When it is only policy honesty hardly is safe com
pany on a side street after dark. But when honesty
really is virtue no questionable advantage is sought.

Copper Competition

PRESCOTT That Arizona copper companies, having worked at high pressure to supply European armies with copper during the war, are now suffering from competition with their own copper, gleaned from the battle fields of France and used over again, is an English mining engineers ex planation of the present low price of the red metal
 Henry Edwards is the mining engin- ger in question. He is in Prescott from London for the purpose of looking over some Yavapai codnty mining property for an English syndicate. Mir. Edwards was formerly general manager of the Cape Mining company, corporation owning properties in South Africa and other mining districts where English capital is interested, and during the war played an active part in the Eng fish metal industry,
 Even before the end Of the war, " said MT Edwards, we were beginning to use large amounts of old metal, some o fit salvaged from the battle field and 8 great deal of it consisting of con- demned material rendered obsolete by
 the rapid change in ordnance and equipment design during the progress of the war
 1 Now that the war is over, I should say that we have enough copper or l hand in England to last us for an in definite period. Our smelting industr,
 is practically run on old metal, the vas | stores of salvaged copper making i'm

 "These Indians show quite little in terest in the fair and hang around closely while the judges are at work placing the ribbons" said Professor Hawkins. "Not many of them can un- derstand English but it is easy to see how they feel when one of them hap pens to get a blue ribbon. The exhibit of wheat was especially good this year. All of crops raised in the San Xavier section are dry farm crops, but the crops are always planted in the washes in such a way that they make use of the flood water. Otherwise there is no irrigation. Some of the Indians this year got as high as 40 bushels to the acre on their dry farned wheat. One man planted one sack of wheat ana reaped A sacks in return.
 "These Indians will not use modern implements and in planting their wheat they SOW it broadcast and blow 1t un- der. The government agents have en- deavored to interest them in modern wheat drills but without success. This tribe is one of the few that use wheat flour in their cooking. Most of the farmers have hollow stones which they use to grind the wheat and there is at least one large custom mill located on the reservation. The mill is made of two stones, the top one has sweep attachment which is operated by two Indian ponies. The Indians bring their wheat to this mill to be ground and l the miller keeps @ certain portion as | his pay for the grinding.
 "The Indians thresh the grain by tpreading it out on a clean, hard piece A ground and running Indian ponies over it. The first windy day that comes along is then utilized to cleeT ths chaff and dust from the grain. Al the samples of grain at the fair were

 As soon as the views of the illus trious agriculturist became known the King of Spain sent a splendid jack and two fine jennets to General Wash ington as gifts from the royal stables at Madrid. Shortly afterward, General Lafaette shipped jack and jennet to General Washington from the Island of Malta. The jack was named the Knight of Malta. He was a superb black animal with the form of a stag and ferociousness of a tiger.
 The Spanish jack, presented by the Spanish royalty, was magnificent specimen, 16 hands high, gray and oi stocky build. He was docile and placid The general crossed the breeds, which resulted in obtaining a favorite jack ! This jack was named Compound The animal was a combination of bigness strength and unusual activity.

"Put Ii There"

Many interesting and humorous
stories are told about the impetuous
side of Andrew Jackson, both as sol
der and as chief executive. But one
which sets him off in his true color
Is related in reference to the manner
in which he selected the site for the
picturesque United States Treasury
building which Is situated across the
street from the White House.
The erection OF the treasury, with
It's huge stone pillars and impressive
Grecian architecture, was begun dur
ing JaCkson's administration. 1t Is
one of the most spacious and costly of
the numerous government buildings.
When congress voted to build n
federal treasury which would be com.
mensurate with the growing needs of
this great country, commission was
named to select a site and decide up
on the plans. The commission did not
work fast enough 70 suit the impetu-
Gus president. He finally grew so I'M
patient with what he called dilly-dally-
ing on the part Of the commission,
that he invited the members to join
him at the White House on a particu-
lar morning to start ont on tour Of
the capital to agree definitely upon a
location for the proposed building.
Jackson always carried a stout walk
ing stick with a sharp point. There
had been much wrangling over the
different sites before the commission
came to the vacant plot where the
treasury now stands. Here "Old Hick-
Ory" lost his temper. He thrust his
pointed stick into the soft earth, turn
ed 70 the commission and abruptly ex-
claimed:
Put the damn thing there"
