I know, who am a friend of hi: But for a mere acquaintance "tis Most difficult to find thém out. I know that I have always said His heart was in the proper place. Unfortunately, in his case, He's rather muddled in his head. I like to think of him as one Who, having little sense to spare, Was still entirely unaware, There was a cartridge in the gun. And who to the serrated wheel, Attracted by its cheerful hum, Will ever push a heedless thumb, ‘The keenness of its edge to feel. I think he’s been misunderstood, He doesn’t mean to be a crass And most unmitigated ass— He would do better if he could. 1 would not prejudice you, though.

PAIR of robins have made their home and raised broods of young for several years on the premises of Mrs. Haight, at Thirteenth and Salmon Streets, and appear | to have come to the conclusion that they own} the property, The female is at present sitting | on some eggs and her mate is making himself busy protecting her. Cats which stray on the premises are fierce- ly attacked by the bold bird and driven off. Even children making themselves too promi- nent about the cherry tree in which the nest} is are threatened by the bird, which pounces | down as if to peck their eyes and causes them to “throw up their hands” and move away. A cat belonging to the family enticed its flock of kittens outdoors to gambol in the sunshine yesterday, and the old robin, seeing danger ahead for the young robins when) | they might leave the nest, dashed down among the kittens:and pecked and mauled them till they yelled bloody murder. When the old cat came running to protect them, the robin dashed violently in her face and seizing a tuft of fur over one eye, tore it out, leaving a bare spot as large as a dime. his daring bird is not one of the old- | fashioned robin redbreasts so often mentioned by poets, but a genuine Oregon robin, with a long, strong and sharp bill and the energy and daring of a hawk. Cats will do well to keep away from the premises until the young robins are able to fly away.—The Portland Oregonian. as well as inconvenient to find your dry batteries given out, leaving your machine dead, and miles from home. ‘The modern way to obtain absolutely sure ignition is the Apple Automatic Sparker Not only the surest and best way of spark- ing a gasoline engine, giving greater power tee tiles apsadetbor ic tine oboe exoeah extra current to fnaitain three elect lighs for your automobile or launch. ‘* Don at the mercy of a ao-ceat door-bell battery.
