BUILDS ITS NEST ON THE ROCKS Peculiarity of South American Bird, Which Is Much Sought After for Its Plumage. Cock of the Bock is a remarkable bird of northern South America, so culled from building its nest 09 rucks. It Is about the size of u large pigeon. The male Is ulmnst purely orange in plumule and bus a remarkable Ilut sided crest. The female Is of u dull olive brown, ami is uncrested. The birds Inhabit rocky water courses and bushy hillsides, where they remain close to the ground anil build their nests, largely of mud, on some rock. The mules court the females by as sembling for "dances" in certain cleared spaces, each displaying Its showy plumage by queer antics until chosen by (OHM observant ben. Great numbers ttt the birds are i-iiimi annnallr. as their skins not only command a high price for mil linery purposes, but are much em ployed by (be Indians in making vuriety of beautiful decurutions. They i are thus becoming rare. A large state mantle, formerly worn by the emperor of Brazil, was entirely composed of their feathers. The llesh of the birds Is well flavored, but of a very peculiar color, being bright orange red. Busine-s Men and Humor. The typical American business man is .something of a humorist, says Earn est Calkins In Scribner's. You. see It in the type given to Uncle Sam. Lin coln owes something of his greatness with us to bis liking humor. The man from home in the Tarfclngt an-Wilson play was typical. So also was David Ilarum. And in Old Gorgon Graham there is u full-length portrait of u man who does not let nil fondness for an tisiiusing way of expressing himself In. terfere with the bard headed business sense of What be is saying. It is sc secret that old Gorgon was drawn from an original who was one of the country's successful manufacturers and advertisers. Never Condense Troubles.

There is so much for Hop-Skipper to do! Roses to smell of, and berries to tind, All of the orchard for wandering through, Acres or daisies a garland to wind. Little Hop-Skipper goes skipping all day ; Watching the swallows or wading the grass, Helping the fluffy, wee kitten to play Little Hop-Skipper's the busiest lass. But, when the shadows grow long by the wall, When the gray twilight brings child ish alarms, Then comes the happiest moment of nil Little Hop-Skipper creeps into my arms. ( by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) o Something to Think About By F. A. WALKER RESPONSIBILITY Y TvTCT until you have arrived at the place of life where ou can show willingness and ability to shoulder re sponsibility will you be in a position to keep step with the noble men and women who are moving steadily for ward toward success. You can never hope to get at the top by remaining at the bottom of the lad der In sulks. Nor can you rise from the low level where the complaining masses are without first making sacri fices and fitting yourself for the ascent. There- must be within you superior skill, which you know, as well as those above and below you know, cannot be acquired except by tireless diligence and continuous effort in the right di rection. To dare responsibility without being properly equipped, both mentally and physically', Is to make a hazardous ven ture with all the fates arrayed ugalnst you. To lead others you must be qualified to find your own way when the dark comes nnd the storms rage. You are not fit to assume respon sibility of any sort until you have mas tered your own stubborn spirit, learned your lesson In patience, and practiced the principles set forth In the Golden Rule. Tour first test in leadership will prove the truth of these words, In spite of nn egotism you may have, or of any fancied power of excellence. Those who cannot accept orders from their superiors with becoming grace, who at every turn in their pathway pig-headedly dispute the right of au thority, who openly show disrespect of law and order, the things which gov ern everything from atom to sphere, can never hope successfully to assume responsibility or rise from the common level. If you will look into the causes of failure nnd discouragement, you will find that Ignorance, false pride, ob stinacy and selfishness were the fatal stumbling I. locks. These are the things which ambitious men and women must do their utmost to avoid, otherwise their progress will be retarded and they will be forever barred from a seat among the world's leaders, who assume responsibilities seriously, conscious of their own frail ties, but confident of their nblllty to hold steadfastly to the trne course In all kinds of weather.

THE BEST JiOOK 'TW1K BOft-toned clock on the library mantle struck twelve, and the little boy chasing a butterfly, and who lived in a frame, was just stepping out of It to run on the broad shelf below, when he stopped. Someone was talking, It was the magic hour, but Little Boy hud al ways been the only one who took ad vantage of It. He looked about the room no one was In sight, lie must have been mistaken. But no, there it was again ! "I tell you I am the best book to read," said a voice. Little Boy looked at the books in the case thnt reached & round the sides of the room. Yes, it was the books. They were quarreling, "I have a much handsomer binding than you. I am quite new, so of course I shall be the most popular." "You can never tell the worth of a book by binding," said an old book "I Am 'Alice in Wonderland.'" with a worn cover as It slid out of the case a little way to le better heard. "I am the book that Is best loved. I am sure of that." "Oh, just hear that old book," said a bright new one leaning far out of the case. "Why, my dear old book, you are as old-fashioned as the hills. I have a story that makes people sit up nil night to read." "Y'es, and as false as is your imita tion leather binding," said a rent leather-covered book. "You are Ac tion. Not a word of truth la you. Don't brag. "1 have facts, real true things from which people can gain knowledge when they read. I urn the most popular book here, I am sure you will all agree." "Goodness, bear It talk," said a shrill voice and another book leaned out so far it tumbled on the floor. "Ha, ha," laughed the other book, "you are where you belong, on the floor. You are full of wise sayings, but so old no one ever looks at them these days. Every one knows them." Out from the case leaned a red book. "You seem to forget that people wish to be amused," It said, "and when they open my cover they begin to laugh. I am full of funny sayings and Jokes, so you all can stop your quar reling, for I am the most popular book here." little Boy stood listening. He was afraid the books would all tumble out, they were so excited, when out from a book jumped a little girt ami, bow ing to nil the bo iks, she said, "I am ashamed of you! The Idea of quar reling about which is the most pop ular I" "Don't you know that there are nil sorts of people in the world and that they all like different books? If they didn't, there Would lu only one book nnd then Where would you be. for you must know that grown-ups and chil dren all love to read about me." "It Is Alice," said the clock in a soft voice to Little Boy. Little Boy had never had a play mate; he began to smile. "Alice," he said, "do come and play with inc. Per haps wo can catch the butterfly." Alice turned around, "oh, I can't" she replied. "Don'l you know who I am? I have to be In the story or there wouldn't be any. I am 'Alice In Wonderland.' Did you never bear the story?" "No; tell It to me," said Little Boy. "I will have to go back Into tho book," said Alice, "but If every one will be quiet 1 will tell the story." And all the books In the big case, knowing Alice told the truth, slid back into their places. The clock ticked very softly while she told Little Boy her wonderful experiences, And every night after that nt the magic hour Little Boy left his frame on tho wall to listen to the story of "Alice in Wonderland," for, just like all folks, big or little, bo Is never tired of bearing It. ( by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Te;Ie;gKrIe?&g p "ft 'What sin a Name?" By MILDRED MARSHALL Facts ahoul your nam: Its hlttonj; meaning; whence It tsai dtriotd; significance; your lack) day and lucky jewel J FLORENCE FLORENCE, signifying flourishing, can scarcely be separated from Its (plaint diminutive 1 Una, meaning flowers. Flora in mythological legend was the goddess of the flowers, and the festivals of Flora or Floralla were celebrated In the first burst of spring. In later times, the name of Florus was formed from that of the goddess, and Is memorable as that of the proc urator whose harshness drove tho Jews to their last rebellion. It is be lieved that the feminine Flora came from this. There is a church at Florence of Saints liore and LttClUa, but other wise the first instance of the name Is In Roman -Gothic Spain, when- the un happy daughter of Count Julian was called by the Spanish diminutive florin da, and thus caused the name to bo so much detested that, while Span ish ballads call her La Cava the wicked, her Christian name was only bestowed on dogs. A Spanish maiden martyred by the Moors brought (Tors Into In tier repute. It became Flore in Franco, where It wus adopted as a romantic epithet, and from there It found Its wuy to Scotland. In the Gaelic, it is spelled I'lorle, as the Island heroine of tho '45- wrote herself. Florentln was a natural product, and named a feminine saint martyred In Diocletian's reign In Gaul. The prevalence of the name Flor ence, In England, seems to have been due to so many English girls being born In the Italian city of that name. Deeper and dearer honor has been given to It by Florence .Nightingale. Many flctltlonal heroines have borne the mime and Its derivatives. Blanche fleur, meaning white flower, Is one of Its forms, and was bestowed on Sir Trystan's mother. Versions, particularly romantic, are found with Arlosto's two heroines, Flordesplna (thorn flower) and FlordllizI (Ueur de lys). Florence or Flora, used by the Irish peasantry, become l lngnan or Flncen. Florrlo and liossle and perhaps even Lora, are purely American diminu tives. The carneUes Is Florence's talls rnnnlc gem. Its warm, bright color Is said to dispel timidity and give cour age, vitality and animation. It like wise brings good luck to the bearer of the name. To dream of It, bow ever, signifies impending misfortune. Florence's lucky day I Saturday, and 1 Is considered her luc : . number. . ((y If WuseUr tindlcat.. ...u.) THE ROMANCE OF WORDS BEDLAM' MX3KDLAM," the worn ny t l word which we now designate n hubbub, an excited crowd or an uproar, bus been derived not from "Babel," as might be ex pected, but from "Bethlehem," (he name of an Insane asylum in London and formerly one of the most abominable torture-houses of the British capital. "Bethlehem" Itself dates back to 1217, when Simon Hit Mary, n sheriff of London, founded it priory dedicated to St. Mary of Bethlehem. Everyone connected with this Institution was com pelled to wetU a black robe, with a single star on the breast, in memory of the star which guided the Magi to the Stable at Bethle hem. Some three centuries late! a London tailor named Stephen Gennlngs offered to start n fund to purchase the House of Bethle hem and turn It Into a hospital for the insane, but It ;is not until Henry VII made a gift of the bouse to the city of London thnt It became an Insane asylum. Owing to the fact that lunatics were considered at that time to be possessed by devils, Bethle hem was made a place of chains, manacles and stocks, while all manner of hideous tortures were devised to unit the evil spirits which haunted the bodies of the living. During the Sixteenth century the place became so filthy and loathsome that no one would enter It and It fell Into de cay, to be renovated In l(57.ri, when a stone Imago of madness, carved In the likeness of one of Cromwell's doorkeepers, was placed on the outer wall. In the literature of the day we find that the name of the asylum is short ened, first to "Bethlem." then to "Bedlem" and finally changed to "Bedlam," In which form It re mnlns.
