WELCOMED AN OLD FRIEND John Burroughs Wrote of Pisssur* V.xpsrisncsd on Muring ttto Sky* lark In Honolulu. Om of iny pleasant uurprlaes Id Honolulu?rone thmt gave the touch of nature which made me feel loaa a stranger there, waa learning that the European skylark had been Intro duced and *vas thriving on the g ratty slopes back of the city. The ulna, a species of atarllng from India as large ue our 'robin end rather showily I dressed, with a loud, atrldent voice, 1 ; had seen and heard everywhere both In towu and country, but he wan a stranger and did not appeal to me. Yet the thought of the akylark brought Shelley and Wordsworth, and Kngllsli downa and inoadowa, near to | me at once, and I waa eager to hear j It. 80 early one morning we left ] Pleasunton, our tarrying place, and ; climbed the loug, pastoral slope above the city, where cattle and horses were gracing, and listened for this minstrel | fftom the motherland. We had not long to wait. Sure enough, not far from ua there sprang from the turf Shelley's bird, and went climbing ht^ Invisible spiral toward the sky, pour- j lng out those hurried, ecstatic notes, ! Just as 1 hud hoard him above the South Downs of England. It was a moment of keen delight to me. The bird soared and hovered, drifting about, as It wore, before the impetu ous current of his song, with all the Joy and ubaridpn with which the poets have credited hi in. It was like a bit of English literature vocal in the air there above these alien scenes. Pres ently another wont up, and then an other, tho singers behaving in every respect as they do by the Avon and the Tweed, and for a moment I breathed the air that Wordsworth and Shelley breathed. ?

Courts jnartlal are not infrequently held on battleships In the Charles town navy yard. Sometimes a sailor will send for a Boston attorney to de fend him, ^although this tendency Is discouraged by the officers, faost at torneys know they have no absolute right to praotlce In a naval court, and can do so only by permission of the court, but occasionally a lawyer goes aboard who does not realize this fact/v A sailor wfto was charged with gambling had retained an attorney to get him off. This attorney, who had never had such a ? case before, went briskly into the officers' wardrobe, where the? court was sitting, and without wcfltlng on ceremony bega^i to address the court in a blustering manner. "Just a minute," interrupted the presiding officer. "Who are yoiL?" "I am Mr. Rudolph Smltliers," the attorney replied, "and I am a member of the Massachusetts bar." "Oh, you are Mr, Smithers^ are you?" continued the officer. "Then you arfc the man whom the orderly wants to see." He called the orderly. "What does the orderly want of me?" asked the attorney in a superior tone. "Nothing very much," replied the chief justice; "he merely wants to show you off the ship." Some Hand for a Sick Man. A certain man stayed out much later at night than his wife liked, and as he would never tell her where he had been she got their little boy to ask him. One naming at breakfast the youngster said, "Dad, where, wuz yer last night?" "Never mind where I was," an swered the father. "But," Insisted the boy, "where wuz yer?" "Well, if you must know, I was sit ting up with a sick friend." "Oh, did yer sick friend die?" "What an absurd question! Of course he didn't die!" "Oh, but did you hold your sick friend's hand?" ? "No," answered the father, "how foolish you -are. Of course I didn't." A*id then he added, with a fir away look in his eyes, "I wish to"heaven I had. He held fCur aces!" ?

Any o.ther trap would tear the delicate fur. "The tongue trap Is a knife, an or dinary hunting-knife smeared with grease, that the hunter lays In the snow.

"Yes, sir, when you see a stole like this, don't begrudge a good price for it; for every ermine in it was tongue trapped in Subzero weather, a mighty slow and gainful hand process."

Or bubble or sparkle or bo brilliant or even bright? These gifts are of the gods. Sometimes We are and some times we are not, but it's a cinch that none of us are brilliant when we try to be. Good conversation consists In talk spontaneous. - It has its source In a full mind and a full heart. Do 1 hear some one saying, ^"And in a full glass?" Ah, but even the full glass brings out in talk only the native wealth or poverty of the talker. I'm sure that must have been an awful luncheon. ? New York Press. * Gambling Profits. M.
