and his wife, who is now dead, was
' equally well provided. They Were cous-
ins, and all their sons have six toes e"-
cept one, whose feet turned in notice-

Lnormal. All the grandchildren have at
least six toes and several of them have
seven, the extra. one in each case be-
ing more or less rudimentary and not
developed like the others. I can vouch
for this personally, as I have seen the
whole tribe on a number of different
occasions, and in summer time they
generally run around barefooted. “The
Six-toe Higginses” is the name the fam-
ily is known by among all the neigh-
bors. Old Mexican Bill has told me
that his parents were both six-toed and
that the same peculiarity exists among
his relatives as far back as he knew
anything about. ~ ~

“Example is a great teacher, even

J. S. Crosby, of New York, was ap-

In the course of time Gov. Crosby

before Mr. Wilkins became H. Brady
Wilkins. This condition of affairs ex—
isted for some time longer, and a
colored man around town by the name
of Jim Collins got a job as janitor of
the governor’s office. Collins’ initials
were J. IL. and I’m shot if it was 30

‘A Great-Granddaughter of Robert
.Burns Still Living in This
'= :2" I Country.
Relatives of greatmen still crop up
A great-granddaughter of the im-
mortal Scotch bard, Robert Biu‘ns, is a
resident of Nevada City. She is Mrs.
Susan Eleanor Andrews, the wife of
hailing from Londonderry, Irelawnd
Mrs. Andrew's is the daughter of Robel t
'Burns, one of the two sons of the poet.
Robert Burns, the younger,.had five
Tchildren, four daughters and a son,
named respeé't-ively in the order Of their
seniority, Mary, Susan, Elizabeth or
Betty, Prudence and John. Betty mar- ‘
ried a Scotchman named Lemon and
emigrated with him to America in 1835.
Mrs. Andrews is one of the issues of
that marriage. ~ She was born at Nes-
quehoning, Pa., in 1844. John Burns re-
mained with his father until the time of
his death, in 1840, and after the death
of his wife, in 1870, he likewise crossed
the Atlantic to join his sister. He died
four years ago, leaving four daughtcrs,
two in America and two in Ireland.
Mrs. an011 died in 1883, and four chil-
dren survive her. “All that remains of
the Burns family," writes Mrs. An-
drews, “are my two brothers, one sis-
terand myself, and four of Uncle J oh'n’s
children.” Mrs.'An.drews takes great
ipride in her relationship to Bobbie
Burns, from whom she has inherited a.
talent for verse writing.
Birds and Beasts at War.
You would hardly believe that moles,
clumsy and almost blind, become per-
feet demons when they quarrel. No
one knows what they quarrel about,
but if they once start fighting one has
to die. They will keep on in the pres-
ence of any number of spectatOrs, hang-
ing on to one another like bulldogs and
bu1ying their enormously strong jaws
and t.'eeth 1n one another’ 5 flesh. Hedge-
ho'gs, another type of the quiet, inoffen—
sive-looking animal", not only fight, but
always to the death, and when one is
killed the other generally devours him.
Hares, on the other hand, are proverb-
ially the most. timid of creatures, yet
they can fight. A fight between two
hares is a ludicrous sight, as they skip
and jump over one another. But ablow
from the hind legs of a bare is no joke
to his opponent. Among birds robins
are the. most pugnacious. More than
one case could be quoted of two robins
so frantically set on killing one another
as to have allowed themselves to be
ipicked up in the hands of a looker—on
and there have laid with beak and claws
deeply buried in one another’s plumage.
