"I wonder whst they'll bring this time," she thought. "Last sinIng they brought beans.

"I think I'll take ' clothing," answered Mrs. Jones. "The children look rather shabby, lately, seems to me. I don't know whether Mrs. Powers tins gumption enough to make over things as Mrs. Peters used-to; but !f ws give tbe clothes an' h don't make good use of 'em 'taln't out fault." "I guess I'll do the same," said the doc tor's wife. "The children have outgrown some of their clothes, but they're almost as good as new. i ney u uo tor tne uunis- tw'i family " "Mebbe Mrs. Powers won't thank us tor our old does," suggested little Mrs. Thome. "I don't believe I would." "She ought to be thankful for what she can gut," said Mrs. Deaoon Jones, se verely. "Ministers' wives mustn't be too particular." The minister of Stony Creek hsd been considering the advisability of making a change at the end of the pastoral year. The tact was, bis congregation was, col lectively, a stingy one. It Included men who could well afford to pay liberally to ward a psstor's support, but they had formed the habit of contributing to the salary In a niggardly fashion, and the re sult wss that the minister's family really suffered for the necessities of life, at times, while be wee expected to consider every thing that was given in the light of an (special favor, and be thankful that he got as much as he did. It did not seem to occur to them that he earned more than he received. They had been brought up to think of religion as being "free." It was only by the exercise of the most rigid economy that both ends could be made to meet, at the minister's house. It wss very discouraging to him; but he was earnest In his work, and willing to make saorl- E.RS.

Ills wife often got out of patience wtlh him for not resenting the treatment he received at the hands of the church, and being one of the outhpoken kind, she said exactly What she thought, and said It very fo.clbly, sometimes. "They ought to be told the plain truth about their meanness," she declared. "If I preached to them, I'd say something that would set them to thinking, even It It did make them mad. You work hard for the salary they're supposed to pay you, end It ought to be paid In rash. The Idea of paying a good share of it In stuff that we don't need or want, just because they can't get rid of It for money I It's a shame, and they ought to be told that we con sider it so. I'd set my foot down, if I could have my way about It, and tell them that I wouldn't have another donation, if they proposed It. We aren't objects of charity, If they do think we are. Preach them a sermon, John, from the text that the laborer Is worthy of his hire, and make It good and strong. They'd resent It, of course, but what if that dldT They need to have the truth fired at them like hot shot, onco In a while." "We'll wait and see how this donation party turns out," said the minister. "If it Isn't more of a success than the one last spring, we'll get out of Stony Creek when my year la up." "It's settled, then," said the minister's wife, with a laugh. "I might just as well begin packing up, first as last." The evening of the donation party came. Mrs. Deacon Jones was the first arrival. She brought a big bundle of old garments. "You'll find It real easy to make 'em over," she said. "They'll do your family just as well as new ones." Presently Mrs. Dr. Wade appeared upon the scene. She also brought a good-elsed bundle of miscellaneous clothing. "Some of the things are almost as good aa new," she said. "They won't need mak ing over, I guess. It they should. It won't be much work to fix them." Before long It seemed ss If all the old clothes of the neighborhood were being un loaded on the minister's family. There were garments of all sorts, and slses, and colors, and some for every member ot it. Mrs. Powers found It hard work to keep Mrs. Powers found It hard work to keep from expressing her in dignation aa her attention was called to dresses that would likely be a "good fit" for her, and Jackets ten year out of date "that had real good stuff in them," and hats whose merits were dwelt upon at great length, and only needed "the least bit of change to be right in style."

But, for her husband's sake, she held her peace. "I think we ought to move to the city and open a second-hand clothing etore," she said, as they looked over the miscel laneous collection, after their visitors were gone. "We've certainly got stock enough to keep us In trade for a year, at least. The ida of giving us to understand that their cast-off things are good enough for us! I consider it a downright imposition. Hulf the stuff they brought is utterly use less unless one cared to wont It up Into a rag carpet. I wonder what they'd say if I were to announce that I was going to make a carpet out of It T They'd say I was 'shlf'le8S,' and wasteful, for one thing, after having sung the praises cf their gifts in the way most of them did." The minister set to work next day on hln sermon tor Thenkeglvlng. "I've chosen a rather peculiar text," he said. "1 don't know what I shall be able to make out of it. It's this: 'And I say unto you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.' Of course, the central Idea is to be that beautiful character is preferable to a king's garments. I think I'll be able to make my sermon fit It." An Idea that seemed akin to an inspira tion flushed across Mrs. Powers' brain, but she said nothing to her husband about It. At Intervals, however, all that day and the next she had queer little laughing spells which he could not account for. When he asked what pleased her, she sim ply said, "Wait and see." Thanksgiving day come, and the church at Stony Creek was filled with worshippers. The minister arrived promptly, but his family had not put In an appearance when services began. The opening hymn was sung and the usual prayer offered, and still they had not arrived. Then the second hymn followed and the congregation set tled itself to listen to the sermon, and the minister's pew was still empty. "You will find my text In the sixth chap, ter of Matthew, twenty-ninth verse," he began. "It reeds as follows: 'And yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.' " The familiar words rolled out sonorously above the heads of the Intent congregation Just aa the church door was heard to open. Nearly everyone turned to see who was coming (the usual reception accorded late arrivals), and such a sight as met their eyes! Mrs. Powers was marching d gnl fledly up the aisle, followed by her four children. She had on a dress thst was In stantly recognised by nine-tenths of the congregation si an old one of Mrs. Deacon Jones', a hat that Mrs. Tibbets had worn fur at least two years, snd a Jacket that was so familiar that "Mrs. Doctor Wade" seemed written all over it. And the chil dren were spectacles fit to provoke the laughter of the gods, arrayed as they were in garments that represented half the fam ilies of the congregation. Borne were too small, and some too large. No two of them harmonised In style or color. The general effect was highly drama Uo as tbe words of the minis tar's teat still rang La Us ears ot iEmmm 298 4?8 22-inch near collar, cuffs Persian lamb, those who looked on the procession mak ing its way up the alsl3. The young people tittered audibly. Some of their elders In dulged In broad grins, and some chuckled, but moet of those whose generosity had made the grotesque display possible, looked wrathfully indignant. Eyes would wander to the pew where the minister's family sat. In spite of all efforts to keep them on the minister, and certainly the spectacle that its occupants presented was enough to dis tract the attention of all save the most serlous-mlnded, from his Bermon. It was with great difficulty that the minister con trolled his risibilities, he confessed to his wife after they got home. "I don't believe I could have gone on with my sermon If It hadn't been written out," he said. "The sight was enough to upset a much solemner man than I am. if you could only know how you looked, my dear!" "I did know," she replied. "We looked at ourselves in the glass, before starting, and I didn't got over laughing at what we saw there until I had got to the church door. I wanted tham to see what guys they had mude of us. The idea came to me when you told me what your text was to be. I know they'll never forgive me, but I can't help that. It was a sermon they needed. My! but didn't Mrs. Deacon Jones, and Mrs. Doctor Wade, and some of the others represented In our wardrobe, look daggers at me, after church? I don't think one of them spoke to me, but Mrs. Thorns whispered that she gloried In my spunk, and said it served them Just right. Maybe it wasn't Just the proper thing to do, but I after all, why wasn't It? They gave us the clothes to wear, and we wore them, and what reason had they to be angry with us for that, I'd like to know?" It has been many years since the Rever end Mr. Powers and his family left the Stony Creek field, but the recollection of his last Thanksgiving day sermon and the way In which its text was Illustrated Is still vivid In the memory of the neighbor hood. Since then the rag-bag has not been robbed for the benefit of the minister's family. UNCLE SAM A WATER THIEF Hay Channel Forces Canadian Craft to Pass Through American Territory, There is a water boundary question which Is likely sr n to become a subject of negotiation ana settlement between the United States snd Canada. This matter I relates to the status of Canadian craft In the Hay channel of the Straits of Ste. Marie. The natural channel was in the St. Mary'a river, which formed the boundary between the United States and Canada, and In which the craft of the two countries had equal rights. The American government has deepened the Hay channel to the south of Sugar Island and wholly within United States territory. The result has been that the water of the St. Mary's river has beu so lowered that the navigation has te be FUR SCARFS worth mp to $12 50 at $6 98- Genuine marten clusters, double sable and Isabella fox scarfs, Isabella opossum Zaza scarfs, with new chenille fringe, sable and Isabella single fox scarfs, made extra full, long brush tails, cords, etc., worth up to $12.50, at FUR SCARFS worth up to $15.00 Extra large shaped double fox scarfs, genuine 65-inch Canadian marten double scarfs, large full, fluffy, silky fox scarfs, made with beautiful brush tails, cords and ornaments, sable and Isabella, worth as high as $15.00, at SPECIALS IN FINE FUR COATS 3G-inch astrakhan jackets, guar C-Cl anteed satin lining, at piZJmpjDmPjZJ 24-inch near seal jackets, at 24.50-$29-$35 seal jackets, genuine silver beaver and reveres, at 22-inch fine selected kriiner jackets, beautiful curl, at otter, beaver, sealskin and dyed otter coats at carried through the new Hay channel. This Is an open channel and would ordi narily serve Canada as well as the Old boundary channel did. At the time of the northwest rebellion the American government refused to per mit Canadian troops to be transported through the American Soo canal, and, therefore, the government of Canada was compelled to spend $3,000,000 In duplicating the canal on the Canadian side. Now, how ever, the diversion of the water to the Hay channel has placed Canada In practically the same position as regards having to pass through American territory, as this coun try occupied before Its canal was con structed. The feeling In official circles here Is that the United States cannot take the water w'thut giving commerce the privil ege of following It with the same rights It had before. Washington Is likely to be ap proached by the Canadian authorities for this purpose. Chicago Chronicle. Buster Brown's Thanksgiving next Sun day's Bee. LAZIEST OF ALL BIRDS Cowblrd Builds No Nest, Rears Ko YonnaT and Forages in the Pastures. The cowblrd was born so tired that if he could compel any other bird to gather his food for him he would do so, but he can not, so he scratches about all day among the herds of cattle and sheep and goes to roost at night in great bands of hundreds or his relatives, always selecting a bushy tree, such aa a cypres, for a night's perch. All up and down the Mississippi river valley Is the common summer home of this bird, for only in the depth of winter do they retreat to the warmer mesas of Mexico, whither most of the other birds have preceded them. In the spring following such a winter they are the first to return, filling all the new year air with their chatter and lining the barnyard trees. You must not think that tbe glossy black and brown birds so plentiful around South ern California barnyards during the winter months are cowbirds, for they are not. They are called "grackles," and seem to be more like crows than blackbirds. You can find their nests, big bulky affairs, In the orange and cypress trees of almost sny of your ranch homes. There are many, many members to the blackbird family, the sweet voiced meadow larka and the gor geous golden orioles, ss well as the mors sober colored blackbirds and grackles, and of all these but one forcee the hatching of her eggs snd the feeding of her young onto another bird mother. In England, the cuckoo has this same habit, but the Amrrlesn cuckoo builds her nest and sits on her eggs as nicely as any roliln or dove could do. Sometimes our roadrunner so far forgets herself as to lay her eggs In the nest of a quail or a meadow I lark, but not often, but when she does the j bird upon whom Mrs. Roadrunner tries to ' Impose generally breaks the strange egg or 1 else goes awsy and leaves the nest alone.

ISL.. 9 ions a feast, to which sometimes the roadrunner comes herself, for she Is very fond of eggs as long as they are not her own. But the cowblrd never makes any such poor Job as that. She always selects the nest of some smaller bird In regions where warblers are plentiful the home of one of these little singers Is almost frequently chosen and there, ss many eggs as she thinks the owner of the nest will submit to are laid. Sometimes the warbler goes right on Incubating the Intruder, but now and then the two old birds get together and dump the egg out on the ground. Nests have been found In which the warb lers put a mud floor over the first nest and built another one on top of it, leaving their .own eggs to spoil because they knew no other way to rid themselves of the cow blrd. If the cowblrd comes back by the repaired nest she will put another egg In It, and generally this egg . Is hatched and raised by the foster pair on whom It has been forced. It requires about ten or eleven days for the young cowblrd to break the shell, while most other birds of Its size are two or three days longer, and thus he has a good start on the other nestlings In point of growth. When hatched the cowblrd Is larger than the sparrow or the warbler, and conse quently gradually crowds them into the background, taking all the food that should b.long to them. As they grow weaker from this, he grows stronger, and It Is not long until he tfps them out of the nest and Is sole master of the two old birds, who work ceaselessly to satisfy his swful appetite. In a very few days he gets too large for the little nest and goes out Into the branches, where the old birds still continue to feed him In a way they never do their own young after they have left the nest. In Mexico and South America there Is a cow blrd that sometlmee builds a nest of her own and sits upon snd hatches her own eggs, but no such thing ever happens among the black hobos of the oriole family found further north. j How many eggs a cowblrd lays no one knows, but ss many as seven have been found In one nest of the oven bird, a kind of thrush fojnd In the eastern states. Usu ally, however, only one egg Is laid In each nest, especially If the birds to whom the nest belongs are small and the nest too little In comfort. The parent cowblrd never disturbs the eggs of any of the birds In whose nests she leaves her own, know ing full well that If she did so the nest builder would In all probability desert her home or throw the strange fgg out. Often times more than one cowblrd lays In the same nest, and as no two eggs of these Mrds sre ever exactly alike In color, you tnsy be sure that no cowblrd knows her own egg half a minute after she has laid It.
