Surrounded by Awe.

And since then tie stork has never
felt called upon to apologize for any
thing That may be, in way, the
reason why he is surrounded by so de-
Sirable a halo of awe. Never com
plain and never explain"
But once, alas, the stork Jared i'll,
indeed, not all his native wisdom and
not all the traditional awe being suf-
ficient to save him. Again we are in
debted to Aesop:
"a husbandman set a net in his
fields to take the cranes and geese
which came to feed upon the newly
springing corn lie took several, and
with them a stork, who pleaded hard
for his life on the ground that he was
neither a goose nor a crane, but a
poor, harmless stork. That may be
very true replied the husbandman,
but as have taken You in bad com
pany you must expect to suffer the
same punishment
Also on the debit side we find Hans
Christian AnderseE's report of the
vanity of the male stork-his eager
ness to be thought capable Of provid-
ing a sumptuous establishment. One
reads:
In the last house in a little village
stood a storks nest. The mother
stork sat in it with her four young
ones, who stretched out their heads
with the pointed black beaks, for theil
beaks had not yet turned red.
"a little way off stood the father
stork, all alone. on the ridge of thC
roof, quite upright and stiff; he haC
drawn up one of lis legs, so as no
to be quite idle while he stood sentry
One would have thought he had beer
carved out of wood, so still did h
stand"

Storks Appear to Occupy a Peculiar
Place in Animal World and Because

y
Place in Animal World and Because
of Psychic Qualities are Respected
New York.-A dispatch from Elber-
field Germany, describes a bit of un-
premeditated melodrama at a circus.
A trained stork entered the lions
arena and, instead of being consumed
spread terror among the tawny mon
archs. The heroic beasts fled IN ter
ror before the wrath of the bird anu
had finally to be rescued by the
trainer.
Storks appear to occupy a peculiar
place in the animal world; it IS al
most as if they possessed psychlc
qualities not understood and for lhat
reason humbly respected.
BY man storks have been accorded
rather a degree of whimsical yenera-
tion-especially in those northern
countries of Europe where they build
their nests high up on the chimney
tops and are protrayed by legend as
concerning themselves with the ar
rival of human babies-a caprice Of
