HADDEUS# BENT, princiJ
__ V Pal of the Diogenes High
O O School, in the far South
Jl Side of Chicago, left the
Vow train at Gower Hill Station,
Wis., where a teachers'
summer school was in progress.
Professor1 Bent?he had sat in a college
chair in his day?was forty years
old. His hair was a trifle gray, his
eyes were kindly and his shoulders a
bit stooped. He was going to the sum
uici ocuvui lv/ ucai iut* uaiuiiii uimui v
\Jectures of Audubon Burroughs Wood,
?od to get a bit of nature first hand
b from the fields.
W. At the big boarding house by the
K brook with the great trees at its back,
f Thaddeus Bent met half a dozen teachers
whom he knew and half a hundred
whom he didn't know. The assistant
principal of the Diogenes was there,
and had been there for a month. She
felt bound to dodier duty by her chief.
^ She introduced him right and left.
HA Then she put on her thinking cap.
"He won't care much for those frivo
lous (freatures just out of the normal,"
B she said to herself. "He'll want some
W one to pair off with. Now there's
B Theodosia Desmond, principal of the
I- . Plato School, way up on Chicago's
t Nortk SJide. ShVs just his opposite,
but opposites getvon well, so here goes."
'And the assistant principal introduced
Principal Thaddeus Bent to Principal
Desmond.
Professor Bent found himself in the
company of Miss Desmond, on the
yeranda, the second morning after his
arrival. Theodosia was a little creature,
with a trim figure, a rather positive
manner and a piquant nose on
.which rested a pair of glasses. Theodosia
was thirty-five and admitted it
.when it was necessary.
"What's your hobby, Professor
Bent?" she asked. "Every one of us
t bas a hobby, or we wouldn't be here."
"Well, I confess, Miss Desmond, to
weakness for natural history. I

themes. Snakes and toads, or, how
SB can you?"
I "Well; I trust I am a little above the
creepers and the hoppers at times.
There are the birds and the trees; they
appeal to me."
"All of a kind; man's and woman's
mentality is the thing for me. I've
heard forty of Professor Searcher's lectures
on 'Mind' already, and I'm going
to hear the other forty. Some of the
otho?r teachers have fallen away. They
are not true blue, though they made
much pretense at the start. Can't I
induce you to hear Professor Seacher?
He'll convert you."
"Pray forgive me, but I've heard
Searcher and I found him a bore, but
Til go if you'll take me."
Theodosla blushed a bit. She was
past even such a remote hint of gal
juuirj us mis, suv uuu iiiuugut.
"No, I won't take you," she said, "but
you may come if you will. Go well up
to the front. Professor Searcher does
not speak any too clearly and I sit up
there?I mean you can hear better
there."
There were excursions into the woods
and fields arranged by the teachers assembled
at Gower Hill. Professor Bent
took the tramps, and through the urging
assistant principal. Theodosia Desmond
occasionally went along. This
student of man amused Professor Bent,
and despite her antagonism she attracted
him a little.
On one of the excursions he found
himself alone with her in a woodland
path. Each had books. "What have
i you there, Professor Bent?" asked Miss
Desmond.
"I have P. n. Gosse, a man too little
read now, and Burroughs, and White
of Selborne. They are full of frogs and
snakes and foxes and birds."
Theodosia Desmond tossed her head,
, and her piquant nose became as near
pert as her thirty-five years would admit.
"Trash, every bit of it," .she said.
"There's nothing human about it."
. "Surely there's human interest in the
lives of the frogs and the loves of the
birds."
"Loves of the birds! I thought you

the reading would make me superiu- J

Nevertheless, tliey went walking together
again, and when they separated j
for the summer there was just a suspicion
of lingering over the farewell. I
"Better read White and Burroughs, {
Miss Desmond," said Professor Bent.
"You couldn't hire me to. Suppose !
you try Locke." 11
The professor shook his head and i
they parted. j1

turned out to avoid a pillar and ran

the other side. She uttered a smothered
exclamation and dropped a book.
Thaddeus Bent stooped, picked the
book up. looked deliberately at the title,
and, with a bow. handed it to Theodosia
Desmond, who was standing with
heightened color ahd flashing eyes looking
at him.
"How dare you look to see what I

A Grim Humor of the Boer War.
Gilbert and Sullivan in their wildest '
flights of fancy never ventured to in- 1
vent such things about the British '
Array as have been disclosed by the astonishing
testimony before the Military 1
Commission. Consider the artistic '
perfection of this incident, for exam- !
pie: Lord Roberts wrote to President 1
Steyn, of the Orange Free State, on 1
March 11, 1000, complaining that explosive
bullets had been found in '
Cronie's laaarer. "Such breaches of
the recognized usages of war," he sol- 1
emnly proceeded, "and of the Geneva '
Convention are a disgrace to any civil- 1
*ized power. A copy of this telegram
has been sent to my Government with
a request that it be communicated to
the neutral powers."
Mr. Steyn explained that the bullets '
in question had been taken from Brit- 1
ish troops. Now it turns out that this
ammunition with expanding bullets
had been manufactured in England be- k
fore the war to the extent of 00,000,000 :
rounds; that there was every intention ;
of making it the standard outfit of the ;
British Army all over the world, but ;
that its production was stopped be- ;
cause it was found to be dangerous to ;
the user in hot climates. It was cpn- >
demned by The Hague Convention on ;
grounds of humanity, but it had to be
supplied to the British troops in South

Difference In Bird Songs.
Much of the attractiveness of the
voice of the wood-thrush is due to the
excellent sounding-board furnished by
the foliage by which his song3 are
backed. In an open field the tones
would be deadened and their ringing
quality lost. It would perhaps be going
too far to credit him with knowledge
of the value of bis chosen environment,
but be certainly shows no disposition
to abandon the advantages he
thus secures, in this respect differing
from several of his usual associates.
The cardinal, wood pewee. Carolina
wren, and many other woodland birds
frequently pour their songs into the
larger spaces of the open meadow, and
the wood-thrush, through chance or
choice, thus gains a distinct advantage
over these less consistent performers.
There ia a marked difference in the
light notes of the Carolina wren that
come from fence post or isolated tree ,
and those that ring out in the echoing
forest. The cardinal's rich portnmentos,
too, are far less striking in the I
pasture than in the deep wood. And ; .
much of the sad sentiment of the mel- j .
ancholy plant of the wood pewee is | (
lost when it rises from a bu!?b in the I f
open instead of stealing out of the j
heart of the wood.?Henry Oldys. in ;

The general public, we fear, Is not; J
acquainted with the dangers arising ! '
from arsenic coloring matter in wall '

Mass.. is directly attributed by the | !
medical authorities to this cause. The 1 f
trouble which resulted so disastrously j 1
made its appearance a year and a half j 1
azo in what seemed to be nervous dys- !
pepsia. Two months of travel abroad
seemed to greatly improve the patient,; '
but on returning home he soon grew ;
worse again. On account of certain '
conflicting symptoms which could not
be readily accounted for a specialist ,
was called in and gave it as his opinion
that there was arsenic poisoning in the 1
system. An investigation was then.
made which resulted in the discovery
of arsenic colors in the wall paper of
the sitting room. This room had been ^
papered shortly previous to the appearance
of the first symptoms. The wall
paper was at once removed, but the ,
disease bad by this time progressed so
far that it was impossible to save tbc
life of the unfortunate victim.?Scientific

Teaching Poll Parrot* to Speak. ' I
TJe strangest school in the world has
)een established In Philadelphia by a
voman. It is a school where parrots
ire taught to speak by means of the
jhonograph. which is a new method
>nly recently adopted by the founder ^
>r tue scnooj, Mrs. Jacob Hope,
["be old way of teaching parrots is
edious and unsatisfactory. The tutor,
touched in a corner out of sight of
he bird, repeats to it, over and over,
housands of times, the same word, the
same phrase, till his back aches from
lis cramped and still position and till
lis voice cracks and gives out. The
lew way of teaching these birds to
:alk is pleasant and wonderfully suesessful.
The tutor sets his phonograph
going at the parrot's ear, and
;lien retires to read or to look after
)ther business. His phonograph, while
le rests, works for him. With a precision
and perseverance that he could
lever equal it drums into the brain of
he bird the sentence that is to be
earned. This sentence the parrot ac*
luires much more quickly and much
nore thoroughly by the new way than
>y the old.

Costly Impoliteness.
It pays to be polite, and sometimes
mpoliteness is rather expensive. The
;moke from a gas and electric plant in
San Francisco annoyed Claus Spreck;ls,
the sugar king. He complained
o the President of the company, politey
requesting an abatement of the nui
;ance. The President responded curtly
ind hinted that Mr. Spreckels should
'chase himself." The sugar king, at
in expense of $4,000,000, started a rival
ras and electric company, and brought
lown the price of these illuminants to
me-quarter what they had been. Then
he President begged for quarter, and
Spreckels sold his plant to the penitent
company for $6,000,000. The sugar
iing cleaved $2,000,000 by the transac:ion,
and the company had to pay $6,100.000
for the impoliteness of its oficer.

the free trial of Doan's Kidney Pills with
much benefit. My little nephew was
suffering terribly with kidney trouble
from scarlet fever. Two doctors failed
to help him and he finally went into
spasms. His father gave him Doan's

A Bargain. .
i It was in the raspberry season, and >
1 a freckled, barefooted little girl in a
i torn blue calico gown came to the door
3 of a country boarding house to sell
l some berries she had gathered.
"How much are your berries?" asked
I the mistress of the house.
t "They are fifteen cents a quart,
, ma'am. But," she added, in the same
; ]breath, "if you don't want them, you
i can have them for ten." .
"I don't want them, so you may give

Older Than Solomon's Temple.
, v
s It is not generally realized that when
e Solomon erected his temple a thousand
8 years before Christ, Americans in Peru
" were building their tremendous "struc'
tures to the glory of. a creator god."
0 Yet this is the conclusion toward which ' .
~ our archaeological researches in South \ America
liow point. Professor Max
Uhle, of the University of California,
writes in Harper's Magazine of the
1 slow but effective processes by which
these records have been unearthed, res
vealing city buried beneath city, as
t each new period of culture succeeded
i- its predecessor. The article is illustrated
by curious pictures of early pottery
and of significant ruins.
