Story of a Clever Jackdaw
In a small cottage in Herefordshire
there lived a family who owned a very
large but eever jackdaw which was
noted for it- very witty sayings One
day the jackdaw saw the lid of the
stewpot partly off so thinking he
should like a meat dinner lie went out
and caught a frog and put it in the
boiling water in the stewpot which
had in some pieces of beef After this
the jackdaw went quietly back to his
perch and waited till dinner time All
went well till the cook began to share
the dinner out before the family
Every time she pulled a piece of
meat out of the pot the jackdaw said
Thats not mine thats not mine till
at last the cook pulled out the frog
when he exclaimed in a very triumph
ant voice Thats mine thats mine
The shock nearly made the guests faint
away but nevertheless the jackdaw
got his meat dinner while the others
did without for a change London An

An Agricultural Surprise
Eastern visitors to the west are
generally prepared for any phenomenal
showing in the line of agriculture
stock raising and the like says a Col

are taken by surprise A New Hamp

do went out one morning to inspect a
large incubator in which the young
chicks were hatching In one corner of
the incubator a neglected peach seed
encouraged by the warmth of the at
mosphere had burst and a tiny sprout
several inches long was growing out
of it
Suffering Caesar exclaimed the
New Hampshire man as this caught
his eye Do you hatch out your peach

Legend of the Moss Rose
A German tradition gives the origin
of the moss rose as follows An angel
came to earth in mortal guise lie
sought a place of shelter and repose
after his labors of love but every door
was shut against the heavenly visitor
At length the angel being very weary
sauk upon the ground and over him a
rosebush spread like a tent It caught
upon its outspread leaves the falling
dew which would otherwise have
drenched the messenger of love Wak
ing the angel said to the rose
Thou hast yielded the shelter that man
denied
A proof of my love shall with the abide
And the green moss gathered about the
stem
While the dewdrops shone like a diadem
Crowning the blushing flower
