Then I thought of the pat I'd fain evade?

I touched my lipsto his tiny own.
And I said to'the boy, "Heigh, ho!
Those lips are as sweet as the hay netrmown:
Will you always keep them so?"
Then back from those fears came a rakish

With a merryf jest or two.
And I gazed on the child, as he sat on

And I thought he asKea.
"Did you?'
I looked in his eyes, big, brown and clear,
And I said. "Oh, boy of mine.

ALWAYS AT WAR WITH CROWS
Rarliest White Settlers in America Offered
Bounties for the Heads
of Obnoxious Birds.
\
The crow was on the American continent
when white men settled here.
He had lived on terms of amity with
the Indians, and when the whites came
he admitted them to his acquaintance.
He thought they were his friends and
he believed that they set out wide
fields of corn for his edification and
entertainment. He accepted what he
mderstood to be the white man's invitation
to eat newly planted and
freshly sprouted corn. In this he erred.
- ' 1 rri.A^A
He misjudged tlie wnite man. mt-se
early settlers fuund fault with the
habits of the crov and among the
old statutes, especially those of Marylard
and Virginia, one finds offers of
bounties for the heads of crows. There
were also bounties for the scalps of
wolves, foxes and bears and the heads
of squirrels.
In 1728 the Maryland council and
assembly enacted that each taxable
person in the colony should bring in
each year fliree heads, or scalps of
* crows, and the same of squirrels, and
for each additional crow or squirrel
scalp should receive two pounds of tobacco!
Statutes having the same aim
are found in the law books as errly as
2680, and other acts with revisions and
amendments are found up to and following
the American Revolution.

i Butterfly's Appearance a Surprise.
* The branch of a beech tree loaded
with nuts and green leaves was cue
arid taken in the house by a Cape
Breton farmer's wife about the middle
of October. She hung it in the living
room after examining it closely to see
that there were no insects on it. On
the eighth of last month, she says, a
large butterfly flew from the. branch.
The butterfly is a pretty fawn in color
and has bright bine dots on irs wings.
It was still alive and thriving at the
time o? writing, although the weather
was below zero.

The excited individual entered the ;

notes, and commenced to address the
meeting.
The chairman made repeated, ef-;
forts to interrupt the speaker, but he :
refused to be called to order. The
oration lasted close upon half an '
hour, and when he resumed his seat,
the chairman managed to gain a hearing.
"Have you entirely finished, sir?"
he asked.
"Yes-r-quitc; but I defy you to deny
the truth of my statements," he
retorted.
"I have no wish to, sir,'' said the
chairman. "The pas company, of the
