BIRD THAT LOCKS ITS NEST
Central American Wren Takes Par.
ticu!ar Care That Its Eggs Shall
Not Be Harmed.

In Central America are many
strange birds with stranger habits. but
probably none is more interesting than
a little brown wren which may be
seen along the roadsides or on fences.
This little bird, about the size OF
canary, builds a nest out of all pro-
portion to its apparent needs. He Sc
lects a small tree with horizontal
branches growing close together.
Across two of the branches he lays
sticks fastened together with tough
fiber until platform about six feet
long by two feet wide is constructed.
On the end of this platform nearest
the tree trunk he then builds q huge
dome-shaped nest a foot or SO high,
with thick sides Of interviewer thorns.
A covered pasSageway is then made
from the nest to the end Of the plat
form in as crooked manner as pos
sible. Across the outer end as we'll as
at short intervals along the inside Of
this tunnel are placed cunning little
fences of thorns, with just enough
space for the owners to pass through.
On going out this opening is closed
by the owner by placing thorns across
the gateway, and thus the safety Of
eggs or young is assured.

Trickino Fate.

Every Hindoo must have a son to
perform the proper rites in his behalf
so that he may be released from pur-
gatory after death, says Asia Maga-
zine. Especially cursed, therefore. is
he whose fate it is to be SonieSs. One
such, q Brahmin, propitia;ed the god
Vishu and obtained q boon. He asked
for son. but. since son was not in
the mans fate, Fishu refused. Twice
this happened. but the third time the
Brahmin asked that his merriments
might be shared by gods and mcil
alike. This was granted llei then

Becky Wells, Beautiful Madcap, Well
Known Character During the
Reign OF George Ill.

Becky Wells. beautiful English act
ress, journalist and author, was born
in 1859, married at eighteen, and q
few months later saw her husband de-
sert her for her bridesmaid. She
went to London and Won success by
her beauty when she went on the
stage. She took up with Edwait! Top
ham, an eccentric, and they estab-
lished a newspaper that thrived Oh
scandal.
Becky took to wearing furs in sum-
nler and muslins in winter which per-
hapS stamps her as a woman in ad-
vance of her age. She hired hackney
coaches to drive her to Oxford or
Cambridge for her health, and her
vagaries were tie talk Of the town.
She imagined that she was irreSiSti-
BILE and took it into her head to in
fatuate George III, the dull king
whose only redeeming virtue was his
apparent faithfulness to his wife. SHE
was thrown unto Jail by her creditors,
and there she infatuated a Moor, son
of the prime minister of Morocco, who
had been sent to prison for contempt
Of court They were welded in Jail
with festivities that lasted a week and
which cost the bridegroom $500. Her
husband, Joseph Sunbel. then secured
his release by paying his brother $50
600 and he also paid Becky's creditors
and took her with him.

Ben franklin, Reformer.

Like many Of US today, Franklin
was nc churchgoer, but firmly be-
lieved in the desirability Of other peo-
Piles attendance at public worship.
In the goodness Of his heart, however.
he was desirous of making the Church
Of England's morning service less
onerous to the faithful. So, while
representing the Colonies in England.
he proceeded to abridge the Book Of
Common Prayer! He was assisted in
the task by an English crony, the once
notorious Lord De Spencer.
The whole episode reminds us Of
the day when, as a small boy, he sus-
gested to his astonished parent that
much time and trouble might be saved
If grace were said over the whole
family pork-barrel at once.-Asa Don
Dickinson in the New York Times.

WOMAN! BEGAN LONG DISPUTE
shakespeare-Baco Controversy Ead
Its Origin in Sock Published by
American Author.

The long S-'lrawn-out controversy over
the authorship of the s;li;lkC>pcarcan
plays had its origin in a rcmrahahle
book written by an American woman.
Della Bacon, a native Of Iallmldga.
O.. with a preface written hy her
friend Nathaniel Hawthorne. Snc was
q woman OF intense application and
capacity for esotcric study and her
book was the product OF a lifetime
spent in the feveriSh pursuit OF her
hobby. Her book was entitled The
Philosophy Of the Plays OF Shake
speare Unfolded," copies Of which are
now~rare,~ as it has long been out Of
print.
The book is written in very lahori-
Gus style, difficult to read Some Of
the sentences are three to four hun
dred words long, but the entire work
shows evidences OF intense study Of
the works Of the poet and Il mastery
knowledge of the history Of Shake
spearc'S period.
The intense OhseSSion with which
she pursued her theories brought her
life to tragic end. Becoming con-
vinced that Shakespeare's secret was
hidden in his tomb at Stratford, she
went t, reside there 10 confirm her re-
searches. She was found one mid
night ut the tomb, muttering incoher-.
emily, and evidently making prapara-
tons to open the tomb in search of
concealed manuscripts which she be-
lievrd had been inferred with the body
Of the poet, beneath the cryptic in
scription, Good friend, for Jesus
sake forbear to dig the bones inclosed
here" She was removed to an asylum.

GOETHE HERO Of ROMANCE
Minor Love Affair That Figured in the
Life of Germany's Mest Famous
Man of Letters.

Goethe, famous man of letters, once
loved 4 pretty little wife of 4 middle
aged merchant, Peter Anton Brentano,
who sold cheese and herrinsS.
Goethe, always careless OF custom
and tradition, went often to the Eren-
tano home. 1t Old not take him long
to discover that the lovely Maximili-
ane was extremely unhappy, and he
did what he could to make her smile.
He romped with her Step-children. and
he played bass viol at family CON
certS.
Both were younger than Brentano,
and both were palpably bored by
his merchant friends and their talk
of sales and profits.
At first Brentano was delighted TO
have Goethe come to the house.
His visits made MaXimliaDe happy,
and that pleased the husband, VINO
had grieved when he saw his wife
smile so seldom. But he grew suSpl-
ciouS. He counseled MaXimiiane
to see Goethe less often, and there
were violent scenes in the house
hold. Goethe sided with the young
wife, and continued to call frequent
ly. Brentano could not conceal his
wrath and his flaming Jealousy. He
upbraided them, and there were
terrible moments" Goethe finally
rushed away in anger from the
house, determined never to be en-
broiled in such quarrels again. He
plunged into the writing Of "Ner-
ther." and Maximiliane passed out OF
his life.

Now you shall get yourself ready for your first bouts. We shall go to Bethune and there you win be en- tered in the savate championships" Now savate. as you probably know, IS a game of Kicking instead of strik- ing. I had practiced it assiduously and learned much under the tutelage of Descamps
 was 2 years old when this event fuf happening came into my life. was but child. but there was no thought of fear in my heart. l trusted Descamps implicitly. as I always have. So when he said I should prepare for the savate championships set about It without a murmur.
 It was on December f. 1906, that we departed from Lens for Bethune. Twenty competitors we're entered and they measured themselves against each other without regard to weight, height. or age
 It was a momentous journey for us to go to Bethune. Descamps was a very poor man. It was all he could do t6 strape together the money nec- cssary to pay our carfare and buy loaf of bread for our lunch. All the way in the train he held tight to my hand, laughing happily at his own continuous run of conversation and cheering me in general. I cannot make words convey the Singular ex- periencc. I look back on the occur renee not only with some pride, but with feeling of the greatest love for Francois Descamps with his efforts to keep my mind running in channels that send me into the ring prepared to do my very best.
 Always he has been this way, the wonderful Dcscamps. He has been father, mother. everything to me. There is not a great disparity in our ages. He was a young man when he first took me on his knee and told me a glorious story of ring future, but hel always has taken the attitude that he was much the older and I have acquiesced. probably because his Knowledge of athletics was so much greater than my own. For this req son I have always obeyed him with out question.
 Our feet in Bethune I did set to wondering of what was in store for me. but l was not excited. I was thrilled. did visualize what was about to happen to me. but instead of dreading it. I longed for it. was about to begin a glorious career. I had no doubt Of it.

M'CARTY IS VICTOR
 OVER ED. ANDERSON
Hartford Bowler Gains Edge in Hard Fought Battle Last Night

Eddie Anderson upset the thoughts gameness, by his display of courage against Andy Mccarthy of Hartford last night at the Rogers Recreation alleys. The local boy was defeated six games to five, but lie satisfied many by his brilliant perfornnances in the last three games of the evening. At the time the Hartford man clinched the match for the evening, Anderson had won but two games, and the out look was dark. However, he started a great winning spurt by tying the Capital City star at 115, and then annexed three straight games. At the close of the tourney last night, the work of Anderson surpassed that of Mccarthy. t .-
 Big Crowd On Hand. -
 It Was a crowd that taxed every bi. of space availa ble to watch the match. that looked on while these two bowling sladiators fought 1t out. There was plenty of pep at the start. but the enthusiasm seemed to lag when it looked as though Anderson was in for a bad trimming. Toward the end of the match, enthusiasm again manifested itself. The local boy started the evenings match in poor form. rolling below the century mark. for the first time in tourney games in two weeks. Mccarthy was an easy winner of the initial clash, dropping the pins for 129 score. Anderson copped the second game.
 Three Strikes for Andy.
 The sixth game was probably the best of the evening. Trailing along up to the fifth box, Anderson turned in a pretty strike, and then sent the crowd wild with joy by duplicating the feat in the next box. In the ninth box both bowlers secured a strike.
 X TiA Game.
 Tie eighth gaf1ie was a heartbreak- CT and resulted tie. the local boy getting great break in luck. Enter ing the last box. with the score tied at 105, both missed spares. McCar- thy easily pinned up ten pins. Two pins tay at the right side of the all ieys, and there was a groan as Ander- son missed one of them, but the top pied pin hit the back banks and knocked over the pin that tied the score at 1t5 each.
 Again in the final game of the night. excitement reisned until Mac completed his last ball. that left a pin standing and gave the string to the local boy DN one pm. m tllS poA a strike meant a victory for Mccarthy and a spare would have tied the match up. but the visiting bowler fell short.
