never been seen in town. Tom. McIn-

admission, and more “royal entertain-

seen. The vocal part of the entertain.
ment was remarkable and the “Thirty

some charming singing on the part of
Miss Bessie Lee and Henry N. Jack-
son. '

high class. The revels in the Fairy
Queen’s grottos will be one of the
many features. Clever little Louise
Montrose' who plays Carline, will head
the specialties. It was she who made
such a hit in this character in the New
York production. The managers prom-

Shocking Depravity on the Part of Birds
“'itnessed Near a Distillery. ~
A queer story is told by Mr. Andrew
Lang. .The incident came under his
own notice, and occurred under the
bridge over the Lochy, below the Ben
Nevis Long John Distillery. From this
tale it is obvious that animals are only
sober from lack of wit to obtain alco-
hol:
“That establishment disgorges into
a burn a quantity of refuse, no doubt
alcoholic. \Vhen we crossed the bridge
in the morning ' to fish, the ducks
from the farm opposite were behaving
in a drunk and disorderly manner—fly-
ing, beating the water, diving, splut-
tei-Ing, and greedily devouring The stuff
from the distillery. Their antics were
funny, but vulgar. By 2 o’clock we
found the ducks sleeping ON the efiects
of their debauch. We wakened them,
and they all staggered eagerly to a
bucket of w‘ate'l', from which they
quenched the torments' of thirst. A
small seabird behaved in ii, still more
deplorable way. He slowly drifted
down. the Lochy from the fatal
intoxicated burn, nor could pebbles ju-
diciously thrown at him induce. him
to take the wing. He tried to dive,
making efforts comic and unsuccessful.
After drifting through the bridge, I
regret: to say that he returned to the
burn and “took a cup of kindness yet,"
getting all the more intoxicated, and
drifting back in a yet more deplorable
condition. What a lesson, we said, is
this to mankind, who, after all, need
not speak of their boasted reasonable-
ness! The wild and tame things of
stream and ocean are as unwise as
we.” -
A Boy’s Hal-(l Fight “’itli Owls.
Martin E. Simson, aged 13, son of
Charles Simson, a ‘well-to-do farmer
living near Willow Springs, is certain
to lose the sight of one eye as the re-
sult of an encounter with two large
owls in a stretch of woodland near the
'drainage canal on Sunday afternoon,
and it is not certain whether the sight
of his other eye can be saved.
On Sunday young Simson went on
a hunting trip down the Desplaines
River. In a patch of woodland be-
tween W'illow Springs and Leniont he
saw a huge owl perched high up in a
tree, and brought it to the ground with
a well-directed shot. Supposing it to
be dead he reached down to pick it up
when the bird. which was only Slight-
ly disabled, made a fierce attack upon
him. and before he could defend him-
self fastened its talons into the flesh
of his right hand. Another owl, ap-
parently the mate of the injured one,
just then appeared upon the scene.
fastened its claws in the boy’s uplifted
arm, and with its beak destroyed his
right eye at a single stroke. The lad
fought desperately for his life, and
succeeded in freeing himself from his
tor-mentors long enough to seize his
gun, which was upon the ground un-
loaded. lVit'h this he. quickly do—
spatchcd the. injured bird, and finally
succeeded in beating off its infuriated
mate. ' '
Blinded with blood, which flowed.
from a dozen cuts and deep scratches
upon his face, the boy finally reached
a neighboring farmhouse, Where his,
wounds were dressed and lie was sent
home—Chicago Inter-Ocean.
‘Vhy Do the Lost \Valk in Circles ‘.’
The question is often asked: Why,
is it that a. person who is lost, whether
it be in a dense wood or on a prairie,
invariably moves in a circle, and .al-7
ways to the right? No satisfactory an- ‘ .
sw_er has ever been given for this well- '
known peculiarity under the circum-
stances mentioned. .
Some physiologists, anatomists, and
speculative philosophers claim that the
left leg in the human species is slight-
ly longer than the right, and so takes
longer steps, thus causing a motion to
the right which in time completes a
circle, if the mind is so bewildered
that it has no fixed objective point in
view. Perhaps the real answer to this
queer question lies in the fact that
most persons use their right hands in
preference to the left. and are accus-
tomed to passing objects on their right-
hand side, and so, unconSciously. keep
edging OK to the right. On a prairie.
however, where there is nothing in the
way of obstacles worthy of mention,
this cause or reason for walking iii-:1
“right-handed” circle would hardly
hold good. .
Does any reader know whether it is
a fact or not that left-handed persons
who are lost make the circle in an op
posite direction to that made by a
right-handed person?—St. Louis Repub-
lican.
