stiH-k In trade. These two are all
that he hu> to i fu r for sale to the
public, and no one has y ?? .;lven any
si rt of >-\ii ixf icj >, y reason.-, why he
should ever l?e wsi-od by any i .? to do
nate them.
One tMng iie\\s|U|H?r pe ?p'e wih nev
er be able to understand is why any
)H>rson will walk Into a- newspaper
office and make himself or herself an
object of charity ami Insist uihmi what
they would disdain to ask in any other
shop or place of business) In town. The
principle Is the sunn? in the newspaper
ollU-e as in the dry goods store, the
grocery, the drug store, and what a
great many people need is to recog
nize it as the same and got off the
uewsjiaper list.
Advertising space in the new simper
is for sale, not to give away. It haw a
certain value in itself that makes it
worth money. Copies of the newspa
lH?r are for sale ? not to give away. If
they are worth having, they are worth
the exceedingly small price asked for
them.
The public, or at least a large por
tion of if, has some very erroneous
Ideas alnnit these matters, and It. Is but
just to the newspaper folk that their
ideas l>e corrected In accordance with
the same business principles that pre
vail In all other . business establish
ments. ,
In a vast majority of <tises this gen
erous charity ou fhe part of the ltews
I wipers is blissfully taken for granted,
and the paper's liberality abused. That
which Is purely a favor is accepted as
a matter of course, and what should be
requests are couched as demands.
When the courtesy has l?een perform
ed there Is rarely appreciation and
more often dissatisfaction? generally
silence.
Th? result In many other towns and
cities is that a ban has been put upon
all freo publicity* no matter wlmt its
object ? even upon church not lees. In
these cities such favors as the press
bestows are properly appreciated and
j valued. ? TWe Fourth Estate.

"Sudden Jltn" would havo boon an ap
propriate name for this hrown atom
of fuss and feathers. Sometimes, when
one does not know that there Is a wren
In a mile, he will break out in ono of
his riots of son^s. that will make you
jump.
He s|K*nds most of his 1 1 ft* pooping
in holes, and it is a safe guess, that
tliero is not a crack, a cranny, a crev
ice, or a split, or chink, within a half
| mile of his nest, that lu? has not glanc
ed into, and at the same time giving
, his tail an extra shake, ills pluck
1 is out of all proportion to Ills sl/.o, and
his voice Is even bigger than Ills pluck.
If another bird Invades his own par
ticular domain he fusses and fumes,
until the intruder takes Itself off. lie
Is more than a match for the English
sparrow, who he hates with an intens
ity many sizes too big for him, and ho
never tires of airing his anti-British
sentiments.
If you were to get down and take a
l?eep under the front porch steps where
be Iihh set up him home, you would nat
urally supjtose some one had stored hay
there for old Dobbins winter use. Judg
ing from the shapeless pile of flry grass
; heaiHMl up In a corner. But If you ex
? nminc it very closely, you will notice a
little round door on one side that seems
to lead straight in towards the center
of the mass. If you follow ,thly pas
* sageway, you will And that It ends In
a deep chamber, that Is shafted very
- much like one of these oldfashlon bead
purses, with a draw-string at tlie top.
This Is the living room of the wrens
ami their numerous family. This Inner
chamber Is well lined with hair, long,
xtlk.v mass, and the softest moss, ami
makes a very snug receptacle for the
six or eight little eggs. ""The i?ocket
llke nesl is quite deep, Iml wry small,
ami when the young hatch, there is no
spa IV room In that bird home. Tho
baby wrens pile up on each other, two
or throe layers deep ami when the hot
tout layer can exist no longer without
air, they work their way up through
the super heated little bodies, ami take
their station on top 1 ly keeping up
this maneuver. over> few minutes, they
all manage to pull through without suf
focatlou. At this stage It Is well thai
l hey are tailless, as tlieru^ls no room
In that sweat-bos for tall flirting.
While the young are in the nest,
there Is hardly a minute In the day
that one of the parents Is not stuffing
food down the gaping throats of the
ehlhlren, The mother and father seem
to realise that the sooner the hahles
ean fly, the sooner their labors will
end. so they throw themselves Into the
feeding business with a feverish aban
don. knowing the more they eat, the
faster they will grow. With their ,uer
v on s energy the faster they will grow
It takes nn enormous amount of f? n m I
to keep the eurront going through the
little feathered dynamos. The sum to
tal of the insects devoured by a pair
of wrens and their ticdllugs. during a
day. would astonish one.
Cut worms, wvevlls, plant lice, grass
hoppers, beetles. eatterplllai'H and spi
ders, all go Into the rounding of his
meals. So their presenee about our
homes hsodlushr ;dwn oporlotfo holoa ?
homes should ho encouraged, as they
work all day long to lessen the number
cf Injurious insects.
Of all the wrens, the House Wren Is
the only one lacking the white line
above the eye. lie Is so tiny that It
does not seem possible that he could
make the noise he does ; and we have
sometimes wondered where he kept his
music. lie Is mostly mad? up of voice
and quick motions, find If these were
taken fr< m him, little would remain
other than a small pile of feathers, and
possibly a short stumpy tail. Of all
the merry, happy-go-lucky little fellows,
he stands easily at the head; and noth
ing ever casts a dumper over TfW bub
bling good spirits.
Mrs. Wren is one of the myUest of
all bird housekeoj>ers, and does hot al-;,
low a speck of dirt on her promises, r
Any loose ends ol' grass are carefully
carried outsjde and dropi>cd some dis
tance from the nest. They become much
attachvd to certain localities, and when
they llml a particular s|H>t that suit*
their taste, they return to It, year after
year, and use the same old nest, with
a little renovating here and there.
Nature was in a kindly mood when
she scattered the wren family so gen?
( rally over the world, to cheer and
gladden the hearts of men. He is at.
home to his friends In all part* of the
United States, throughout Europe,
Northern Africa, Axla Minor and a
part of the Holy Land.
