THE OBSERVING ROBIN
IIow Doti the Bird Know Just
Where to Bore For Gruba
I once observed a robin boring for
grubs In a country dooryard It is a
common 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 jots 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 leceived

COQUELINS REPLY
BTow the French Actor Got Into
the
Sub Rosa Club
One of the most famous of the Quar
tler 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 Now the only rufts of the Sub
Rosa men are Think much Write
little Be as silent as you can The
presiding officer 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 saidthe 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

Feared the Worst
Friday Yizer 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
ently 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

JUNIOR NORMAL SCHOOL NOTES
The total enrollment at the close of
Thursdays work was 181
No sessions were held at the normal
Tuesday on account of the national holi
day
Supts Jas OConnell pf Hitchcock
county Flora B Quick of Red Willow
and G H Pickett of Hayes have beon
in attendance this week
Instructor C M Barr paid a visit to
Lincoln and points in the eastern part
of the state at the begninning of -the
present week and was caught away
from home by the washouts He was
on duty Tuesday morning however
Beginning on Monday next the chapel
exercises will be held at the former hour
ten oclock instead of 1120 as has been
made necessary by the sessions of the
model school It is believed that this
will prove more convenient to visitors as
well as more pleasing to the teachers
themselves
Mr W K Fowler former state super-
intendent and the originator of the
junior normal school idea visited the
normal last Friday during his sojourn
in McCook and spoke happily to the
teachers in relation to their work He
received an enthusiastic greeting which
in a measure attested the regard in
which he is held
Supt Jas OOonnell assumes a place
in the normal next week as an instruc
tor The model school work ceases and in
its place classes will be formed in physi
ology bookkeeping mental arithmetic
and orthography School law will be
given instead of methods This is a
most opportunity time to enter when
new work is being offered
The music program Friday morning
of last week possessed rather more than
usual qualities of charm Mr Miller
sang The Friars of the Orders Gay
always popular to hear while Miss Bes
sie Peterson delightfully rendered a
piano number Mr J A Gaarde was
down twice on the program greatly to
the satisfactionof the audience
The next number in the entertain
ment course will be the concert by the
oiayton jumiee singers in is occurs
Wednesday night of next week July 12
The reservation of seats begins this
morning and seats will be sold to-morrow
Tickets will be sold for the gallery
also but the number will be strictly
limited to its comfortable capacity The
only way to be sure of admission there
fore is to buy in advance
Rev JJ Loughran was present at
the assembly exercises Thursday morn
ing and delivered a most wholesome
and effective address to the teachers
For the past three years he has been
rather closely observing the work of the
school and he pointed out to the mem
bers some of the things they can do to
avoid criticism The enthusiasm with
which they greeted his closing words
indicated the good humor in which they
received his thought
A most remarkable letter was received
at the normal school this weekfrom the
superintendent of Gosper county inquir
ing for a teacher for a very particular
set of school directors It was their de
sire to employ a married man of middle
age and the superintendent said that
he knew of no one whom he could recom
mend Despite the fact that there are
but one or two men in attendance the
McCook junior norriials answer was
promptly sent where such a teacher
could be procured
A pleasing Fourth of July program
somewhat quiet and dignified was given
at the chapel hour Monday morning
Besides chorus singing of the national
songs America The Star Spangled
Banner and The Red White and
Blue Miss OSullivan read the Declara
tion of Independence Mr Hooper gave
a brief talk on how we came to have a
Fourth of July Mr Thomas read sever
al patriotic poems and three members
of the music class Misses Harned Long
and Dougherty sang Sousas inspiring
Stars and Stripes Forever
Miss Nellie M Schlee will conclude
her work to day as a model schoolteach
er and to morrow leave for Lincoln and
Tecumseh General regret is felt
among tne teacners that this week
marks the end of her connection with
the normal because in every respect
her assistance has been inspiring and
valuable The model school work has
never before had such hearty recogni
tion as it has had this summer and this
condition is due quite as much to Miss
Schlees pleasing personality as to the
bettered plan of work in vogue this
year
