A Mason, Miss., farmer has a_bird house which was occupied last Sum- mer by a pair of bluebirds, says Alfred Meeks, in Capper'’s Magazine. Tate in the Spring several sparrows drove the bluebirds out and destroyed the eggs. The farmer killed the spar- rows, but the bluebirds did not seem to | settle down again. To his amazement, the farmer dis- covered that they had adopted a brood of ducklings, which had hatched near- by and had heen deserted. The blue- | birds worked overtime bringing worms and bugs to fill the gaping mouths of their greedy adopted children and seemed to enjoy it hugely. They raised the ducklings until they were able to scratch and swim for them- selves, then settled in their home to raise a family of their own. The Scotsman's Report. From Everybody s Magazine. A Scotch subaltern was one day on guard with another officer at Gibral- tar, when his friend fell off a precipice and was killed. The subaltern, how- ever, made no mention of the accident in his guard report, but left the adden- dum, “Nothing extraordinary since guard mounting,” standing without qualification. Some hours afterward the general demanded an explanation. “What do you mean, sir, by report ing, ‘Nothing extraordinary =since guard mounting,” when a fellow officer has fallen down a precipice 400 feet deep and has been killed!” ‘General,” said the lieutenant, slow- 1y, “I dinna think there's aething ex- traordinar’ in that. If he had faun doon a precipice fowerr hundred feet deep and nae been killed, that would hae been something like.” Few Care to Mar: Only two marriage licenses have been issued in the past four vears in Owyhee County, Idaho, which has a population of 4,694 and an area larger than Rhode Islaind, Delaware and Con- necticut. 1 | | | from crossing Highway Bridge, it was | the contemplated restr { pound limit can j will afford the | changes | Chief I nat only create a noise nuisance, but OUSTED PASTOR SPEAKS.

The correspondence centered about a proposal by the Lower Niagara River Power and Water Supply Co. to erect water diversion works and A power plant bhelow the falls, The commission held that approval of the chief of engineers and Secre- tary of War and of the International Joint Commission was necessary, since the lower Niagara is an inter- national stream. Congress alone has the ultimate authority to consent to the erection of proposed structures in the river and cannot be compelled to grant or withhold its consent, the commission said, adding, however, that it was not to be understood as making claims for exclusive Jurisdiction “The State and the I ments having concurrent jurisdie- tion,” the letter continued, it 1s with- in the power of either, should it so wish, to interpose its veto.

He is the worst pest with whom Detroiters high in public office and_business life have to deal, says the Detroit News. He always appears to be in a hurry. He dashes into the outer office of his vietim, pulls out his watch. and breath- lessly asks the secretary If he can see He is often successful in gaining admit- tance, and he usually stays about 30 minutes, or.until long after he has worn out his welcome. The *‘just-a-minute” man is legion. His visits sometimes take up several hours a day of one busy man's time. One business man admitted he could dispense with his secretary if it were not for the “just-a-minute” man. The secretary’s chief duty is to intercept the pest and learn his business. : i Times Have Changed. From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
