THE OBSERVING ROBIN
How Dom the Bird Know Jaai
Where to Bore For Grunaf
I once observed a robin boring for
grubs In a country dooryard It Is a
cpmmou enough sight to witness one
seize an angleworm and drag it from
its burrow In the turf but I am not
sure that I ever before saw one drill
for grubs and bring the big white mor
sel to the surface The robin I am
speaking of had a nest of young In a
maple near by and she worked the
neighborhood very industriously for
food She would run along over the
short grass after the manner of robins
stopping every few feet her form stiff
and erect Now and then she would
suddenly bend her head toward the
ground and bring eye or ear for a mo
ment to bear Intently upon it Then
she would spring to boring the turf
vigorously with her bill changing her
attitude at each stroke alert and
watchful throwing up the grass roots
and little jets of soil stabbing deeper
and deeper growing every moment
more and more excited till finally a fat
grub was seized and brought forth
Time after time during several days I
saw her mine for grubs In this way and
drag them forth How did she know
where to drill The insect was In every
case an inch below the surface Did
she hear it gnawing the roots of the
grasses or did she see a movement in
the turf beneath which the grub was at
work I know not I only know that
she struck her game unerringly each
time Only twice did I see her make
a few thrusts and then desist as if
she had been for the moment deceived

COQUELINS REPLY
How the French Actor Got Into
the
Sub Rosa Club
One of the most famous of the Quar
tier Latin clubs in Paris is the one
which Is called the Sub Rosa
The elder Coquelin the great actor
was present one night at the clubs
weekly feast and applied for member
ship Isow the only rules of the Sub
Rosa men are Think much Write
little Be as silent as you can The
presiding oilicer with this last rule in
mind answered the applicant by plac
ing before him a tumbler filled so full
of water that another drop would have
caused It to run over Coquelin under
stood The club membership was ob
viously full
Over the table was suspended a rose
the club emblem While the glass
still stood before him Coquelin broke
a petal from the -flower and laid it so
gently on the water that not a single
drop escaped A silent man could join
and make no trouble
Around the table ran a ripple of
smiles and little hand claps and nods of
approval and then as if of one accord
all began making bread balls Then a
cup was passed from hand to hand and
each deposited his ballot in it and
all were found to be round Not one
had been pressed flat In sign of disap
proval So Coquelin joined the Sub
Rosa club Warwick James Price in
Success
His Cottage His Castle
The right of every Englishman to
consider his cottage as his castle was
never but once questioned and that
was by a London magistrate who was
presiding in an action for trespass
My client said the barrister in
making his plea is a poor man he
lives in a hovel and this miserable
dwelling is in a forlorn and dilapidated
state but still thank God the labor
ers cottage however ruinous its plight
is still his sanctuary and his castle
Yes the winds may enter it and the
rains may enter it but the king cannot
enter it
What Not the reigning king ask
ed the joke loving judge
Feared the Worst
Friday Vizer a familiar negro about
town in a certain part of Mississippi
had been found dead and being a
member of no church or lodge very
unusual for a negro there was no one
to pray for his soul in the great beyond
A few old intimates however carried
the body to the cemetery in a rude pine
coffin and Bob McRaven one of the
number an old befo de wah darky
was called upon for a few remarks
Bob removed his hat and stepped reverr
entiy and sadly toward the open grave
and in solemn funereal tones said
Friday Vizer you is gone We hopes
you is gone whar we spects you aint

True Greatness
True greatness first of all is a thing
of the heart It is all alive with robust
and generous sympathies It is neither
behind its age nor too far before it It
is up with its age and ahead of it only
just so far as to be able to lead its
march It cannot slumber for activity
is a necessity of Its existence It is no
reservoir but a fountain Roswell D

SPENDTHRIFT BALZAC
Extravagance of the Mnn Who Had
a Mountain of Debt
With Balzacs rising fame rises the
mountain of his debts writes a critic
These starting from his two disas
trous year of printing and publishing
In Paris accumulated until at the top
of his literary renown he had to hide
from his creditors In a garret under the
name of his landlady or his washer
woman In 1837 Balzac at that date
the best known and the most debated
novelist In France owed 1G2000 francs
about 32500 Then he must needs buy
a cane which was the talk of Paris
some gold buttons for a new coat a
divine opera glass and a dressing
gown beyond words and give a dinner
to the dandies of the opera respecting
which Rossini said that he had not
seen more magnificence when he dined
at royal tables
Balzac three times a millionaire
would still have buried himself in debt
for the mental exaltation of his crea
tive hours was reproduced when he
broke loose from the galley bench He
lavished in anticipation the wealth he
had dreamed would be his This gone
he borrowed anew or devised another
of those schemes that were to enrich
him beyond the possibilities of litera
ture His schemes were essentially a
part of Balzac the sovereign uncon
querable visionary
He would transport oaks from Po
land to France nothing like oaks from
Poland to make your fortune three
times over Behold him again gravely
working out his plan to make a corner
in all the arts and putting up the Apol
lo Belvedere for competition among the
nations to act as auctioneer to Eu
ropethe child man as his devoted
Bister Mme Survllle uspIao call him
The
CHAINED BOOKS
Custom at One Time Extended
to Lincolns Inn London
When one looks in bookshop windows
nowadays and contemplates the be
wildering abundance of volumes of al
kinds of literature offered at the low
price of 150 or less he finds It diffi
cult to realize that time was when
a Bible cost as much as 10000 in our
present money No wonder it was kept
chained in churches The Black Books
of Lincolns Inn London show that this
practice of chaining obtained there
There Is an entry during the reign of
King James I that decent stooles be
provided and that moveable desks be
ajso made and chains for the book
and a few years later the inn payments
Include 20 shillings for twenty dozen
of chains and rings for the library and
there Is a fresh order made that all
considerable bookes be chayned
It appears that none of the existing
books in the library retain their chaius
or any part of them but a considerable
number about forty still have riveted
to the binding the ring or hasp by
which the chain was attached and
many more show the mark left by
rings now removed
The moveable desk and the de
cent stoole were essential appurte
nances of a chained library of any size
Even the zeal of a mediaeval student
was not equal to holding a chained
folio In the accounts of the Middle
Temple chayns for the bokes of the
librarle Is a constantly recurring item
and a reader in Grays Inn in bequeath
ing his library gives 40 shillings to the
intent that he the trustee maie by
chaynes fasten so many of them in the
librarie at Grays Inn as he shall thinko

Mrs Gommldffo
We have her with us always Her
nose droops her mouth turns down at
the corners her complexion is generally
sallow her eyes lusterless and when
small tribulation or great calamity hap
pens to the family she feels it more
than the others Wonderful is Dick
ens delineation of Mrs Gummldge
whom little Davy found such treasure
trove for his interested observation
who when the chimney smoked or the
potatoes failed wept silently because
forsooth I feels it more than others
She is the girl at school who forever is
having her feelings hurt Very sensi

Paris Court Trials
The demand for seats at a Paris
court trial Is utilized by the poor to
turn an honest franc The courtrooms
usually admit of but forty visitors
other than the regular court officers It
is common for a crowd to collect in
front of the court many hours before
the door is open and wait patiently in
line Just before the trial begins when
the doors are open these men who
have perhaps been standing all night
in the rain are glad to sell their places
for a few francs
Her Conclusion
Ive got my opinion of a woman
that cant cook growled William De
Kikkur glaring at his better half I
suppose that if our cook would get
married Id starve to death
You neednt worry about that Wil
liam said Mrs De K gently Our
cook has been married once and I dont
consider it at all likely that she would
care to
But herirate spouse had slammed the
door behind him Cleveland Leader

Doctor said a fashionable belle
what do you think of tight lacing
The doctor solemnly replied Mad
am all I can say Is that the more a

glass the sooner will her sands of life
run out

said Ive seen so many fools succeed
and so many geniuses come to nothing

The farm mortgage though some
times a necessary evil and often a de
cided advantage is not often spoken of
in justification but a writer in this
weeks Towa Homestead L Lowe de
clares that tiling wet sloughs is a sufli
cient excuse to mortgage the farm if the
money can not be raised in any other
way Mr Lowe who has had extensive
experience in tiling lands calls atten
tion to the fact that sloughs are the
only really cheap lands we have left in
the thickly settled portions of the corn
belt He undertakes to tell how tile
should be selected how it should be
laid so as to secure the best results
proper location for draining of wet
sloughs and a multitude of other de
tails important to the practical agricul
turist The subject of tile drainage is
always timeh when the ground is not
frozen and the farmer who gets a week
ahead with his work can put in the time
in laying drains The Homestead is
performing a valuable service by pub
lishing such articles It already has a
large circulation in Red Willow county
