Cats Bait for Birds = Parrot Was
Decidedly Puzzled.

The parrot Is regarded az an amaz-
ingly clever bird, because Of its power
OF speech, although the owl, that does
not talk, is the symbol Of human wis
dom. Every person who has an AMI
NAL pet thinks II the cleverest in en-
istence and is always telling OF its
latest cleverness.
A British author writes Of q dos
that he claims could tell time. This
dog, a terrier, had been in the habit
Of jumping on his masters bed ant
waking him up every morning at
o'clock. When daylight saving time
went into effect the man was anxious
to see what his dog would do. Nex1
morning whe nthe clock struck seven
although in reality is was only six
O'Clock, the terrier woke his master
His master explained that he was able
to count the strokes Of the clock.
A bird fancier made II practice to
throw crumbs on his lawn to the
birds. every morning after breakfast
The bird-lover saw to his dismay one
morning bird fall victom to the cat.
He decided to stop throwing the
crumbs and was surpriced few morn
ings later to see the cat spreading
crumbs on the law and then retiring
to his hiding place to wait for the
birds.
At the Disruption of the Church in
Scotland in 1S43, the bulk Of the shep-
herds went over to the Free Kirk. But
a collie did not agree with his master
about this. He held by the Established
Church, and would not leave 1t.
Every Sunday he went alone to this
church. His master refuse dto coerce
him, saying INA, he's wise dog; III
no NEEDLE with his convictions"
The collie's conviction had disas-
trous end. He used to lie during the
sermon on the pulpit stairs. Below
him we're the stove-pipe hats of the
elders. One day he fell asleep and
rolled off the step, and managed to
get his head fixed in one Of the hats.
He Immediately fled out Of the church,

said. "had nae trokins WI releegion,'
For many years pair OF swans
lived on the lakes in the grounds OF a
wealthy mans estate. One day the
male swan, who was getting lame and
evidently feeling his age, while sailing
along with his mate, seized hold OF her

until she died. Shortly after he him
self was foun ddead near the same
spot.

"What'S in a Name?"
BY MILDRED MARSHALL
Facts about your name; It's history; mean
Ing; whence It was derived; significance,
your lucky day and lucky jewel.
SOPHIA.

THE wisest Of feminine names liz
l. Sophy, or Sophia, as she should
be called properly. 1t Is perhaps the
only name which Is closely associated
with Divine attributes, since It's origin
dates back to the dedication of that
most gorgeous of Christian temples by
which Justinian declared that he had
surpassed Solomon. 1t was called
st. Sophia (the holy wisdom of God).
According to the preacher" in the
Book of Ecclesiasticus, Wisdom is the
mother of fair Love, Hope and holy
Fear, and this idea is. said to have
suggested the allegory of the holy
woman with three daughters so called,
and in compliment to the newly built
church, the niece of Justinians en-
press, afterward wife of his nephew
q and successor, was called Sophia. The
name straightway became fashionable
among the daughters Of the nobility
Of Greece and was carried, through
Slavonians, to Germany.
History records a Hungarian prin-
cess of that name In 919, and an
other, daughter of King Geysa, mar
ried Magnus of Saxony and spread the
use of the name throughout SaxOny.
Denmark is said to have received IL
through this latter princess and has
since made 1t almost national name
Its vogue with the royalty of Deg
mark is unmistakable and its use
spread through all classes.
England barely escaped having a
Queen Sophia and even though Sophia
Dorothea of Yette never actually as
cended the throne Of England, h.r
granddaughter gave 1t vogue in tiS
British isles In the reign of the House
of Hanover.
England claimed both Sophia and
SOphy. France makes her Sophie !;
Italy Sofia, Germany Sophia and
Fleka, and Russia Sofia
Sophia has an old talismanic stone
malachite. 1t protects it's wearer from
danger, If it is engraved with an inn
age of the sun. 1t Is particularly
potent for children and is said to ward
off disease and promote peaceful slum-
Der If attached to child's cradle.
Saturday is SophE's lucky day and d

Feeling was aroused which
for a time seemed to threaten a

Mrs. Rogers, who is nineteen,

She says she was given an al
