Humming Bird As PET.

The ruby-throated humming bird is

that had been built in an oak in
piece Of woods. Upon taking it home
writes DIR. r. W. Shufeldt in the Amer

trouble in getting it to drink water from
a teaspoon. the former having been well
sweetened with sugar. When being fed
1T would sit on one of my fingers. while
| held the spoon with the other hand
At night il slept on the chandelier
in the middle of the room. and the first
thing in the morning it would fly down
to a little glass vessel containing sweet
ened water which l had taught it TO find.
1t would fly out on an open window to
visit the flowers of the red honeysuc1le
that grew luxuriantly over the broad
porchway of our home. On one occa-
sion. with a loud and rapid twittering,
it flew into the room through the open
window closely followed by bird of
its own species. 1t was not long after
that when my pet responded to the 'call
Of the Wild and flew away never to
return.

The New Dresses.

They are here, brothers, they are Here at
last. One had fondly hoped that since the
American woman had been armed with the
vote and is Wanting her prowess in political
fields and making a noise more terrible than
make a stand for dress with combined beauty
and usefulness. But alas and alack! The
Paris men builders Of female dresses have got
her goat and she has surrendered and now ap-
pears in the new things which in truth are
wonderful if not fearfully made. Where they
got the models we can not guess, but rather
suspect that it was q combination of ideas. II
the dresses were white they would look like
the shrouds that old Rameses l prescribed as
the proper habiliments of all lady mummies
But of course there is a difference. Whereas
the Egyptian shrouds were simple and beauti-
full in their perfect plainness, these new fan
gled garments have more straps and strings
and steamers and hanging hooks than n dou
BILE set Of harness.
Why did not the malefactors who designed
these glorious ankle ticklers cut them the sam,
length all around? The back of them look.
like the barnyard pup had been Juggling a

lady Who goes shopping now need not have tn,
things delivered. She can hang box of cand,
on one side, pair Of blankets on the other, :,
few kitchen utensils in front, and the grocerie
on behind. Maybe the merchants encourage,
this new style for that reason. But we do re
greet the passing Of the pretty skirts that nov
probably will be in style in the Fiji islands.

Ambitious young men. trying to get ahead,

ard " Sears kept his eyes open for opportun-
tiles. Finally they came. A shipment Of
watches arrived and was refused BY the local
dealer. TO whom they were consigned. Sears
wrote the makers and arranged to sell the
time pieces. For customers he wrote railroad
friends up and down the line. In his letters
he did not otter something for nothing, paint
Ing golden promises. Instead he said he had
good watches which he would sell at a very
small margin of profit. In describing them he
went into elaborate details, which was the next
best thing to putting the watches before the
eyes Of the prospective buyer. Tho watch deal

The Daily Short Story

per-"
Msieu hung his head at the re-
buke.
II beg pardon" he muttered, and |
fell to picking up the debris. And
so M'sieu arrived! and SO, though !
he was not of a mind to remain
among US, he yet stayed for space
of three weeks and a most curious
friendship was between him and
the pere.
So, presently, the grumbling Of
the people came to the ears of the
two. What Pere Jouvih said of it
l know not, but of Saturday night
when the market place is always en-
fete, Msieu came among US. Ciet!
He talked; and hard things he said
truly, but one will not mind the
bad names from q m'sieu whom one
loves.
You fools!" cried he. you wan.
Pere jacques back, do you, And for
what? What did he do in return for
all that was done for him? What
did he give you? A few unctious
smiles costing nothing pat on
the heads of the pretty children

\ And how about this good man
here in Constantine? Do you know
why he writes SO steadily? No?
4 Well, then, he sells his writings,
and with the money he intends to
buy chimes for your church. He
has almost enough, for his name is
we'll known in the world. And you
you ungrateful boobies, you re-
pay all his generosity with insults
and grumblings and superstitfous
. fears. Is he responsible for all the
trouble in the world? Then why
blame him for the ills which have
} befallen Constantine?"
This is of a nearness to what
M'sieu said. speak the English
: SO good, l can write M'sieu's words,
: The mention of the chimes soft
ened the people not q little. Gifts
Of fruit and fowls came to the pere,
/, but still was the reserve noticeable
in the people. They were CROWNS
to have confidence In the pere-
yes! but to love him not O. yet
That was for the miracle to do.
i There was terror and fear in
Constantine when some vandal
! broke into the sacristy and, from
b the secret recess, stole the bottle Of
. miracle water. This water of mi.
racles, you comprehend, is vatel
{ from a clear sky, and only once IL

be identified through chamical comparisons of
two drops of blood. Now it is claimed that the

Of the patient-his passions and his appetites.
It IN even intimated that It 10 quite possible to
tell from q drop Of blood whether onelis a
Methodist Of q Presbyterian. A skilled chemist
would be able to tap mans veins and tell
whether he voted for Bryan or not. j To the
trained savant with his microvitascope a drop
Of blood becomes page from human diary.
He can read tho confessions Of the heart and
brain BY sampltng the red stuff that flows
through him. The specialist of the future win

sleeps and then be able to tell Why his wife
left him and where he keeps his money. The
inventor says that tests Of chirography have
been made In the same way and that he has

nature that the person died Of cancer. He has

PERE JOCvIN'S MIRACLE.
BY Mariel Brady.
Copyright, 1922, by Wheeler

Syndicate, Inc
All winter the very fiends OF mis-
fortune had plagued our little vii
lage of Constantine. First the mys-
terious sickness which changed
scores of well-kept, well-fed cattle
into useless carcasses-hot-beds of
contagion. And then the cold!
Even lusty youth Rugged the circle
of red glare around the fire and the
old-they suffered! And then, In
March, came the terrible storm,
when the fierce spirit of fire called
by the learned fools electricity,
ripped away the roof of the little
church> and sent, cross and all,
across the frozen surface Of the
bayou.
After that there was indeed con-
sternation and fear in Constantine.
Sullen hands repaired the little
church but the golden cross was not
found ever. And what kind OF 3
cure was Pere Jouvin not to join
in the search for it? Pere Jacques
would have led them night and
day!
Thus the grumblers, daily grow
| ing more of a number.
what could a far-aw1y Cardinal
know of the needs of Constantine
Why remove Pere Jacques, bon
vivant, bon camarade, and replace
him with this cold dreamer-this
sickly man who wrote, wrote, wrote
far into the night?
Pere Jacques had smile for the
tiniest child; Pere Jouvin's mouth
was a firm, straight line and the
services were cold-eold as the
man himself.
This, then, was the unhappy STATE
Of things in early May when Msier
arrived among us. M'sieu wa
young and Of a charming ruddt
ness. M'sieu bestrode . most cur
ious thing of two wheels which tor,
as the comet along the roads. Oh!
How M'sieu raved when the fat
grey coil on the wheel behind wen
nat like the griddle cake from tn.
J sharp stones! And 1t grew darl

At length M'sieu stood to his fee
and cursed yet more abpndantly
In one hand he held . coil whicl
. was as the entrail of the cute
coil, and the other hand he ~
wildly through his yellow hair.
II was at this moment that Per
