Gay birds ara the hardy athlete«
of the feathered world, according to
• theory advanced by C. H. Henshaw,
a London naturalist
Male birds are forced to he dashing­
ly beautiful In order to attract the
more sober-colored females, Mr. Hen-
shew explains. But a bird that wears
scarlet, blue or orange feather«, and
that sings loudly and otherwise make«
himself conspicuous, must be sturdy
and alert if he Is to survive long
enough to establish a home and raise
a family. He Is as much a target for
his enemies as the warrior who used
to dash Into battle wearing a red coat
and riding a white horse.
How all th is Illustrates the old prin­
ciple of the survival of the fittest Is
shown by Mr. Henshaw, who says:
“The better mHte an animal esn get,
the more chnnce Its descendants will
have of survival, and It Is obvious
that a male that has to face more
danger and yet manages to survive
has In all probability a greater ca­
pacity for keeping alive than one
which lives through less danger.
Therefore the female that chooses a
mate with n dangerous habit or s tr ic ­
ture chooses what is, aside from the
dangerous part, a better and more fit
mate."
This tends to raise the vitality sf
the bird species, he says, because the
male bird's vitality Is Inherited by
both sexes of tils family, although his
hazardous beauty Is handed on only
to his male descendants.—Science

Excess of Gratitude
Not a Common Fault
Gratitude, In mnny people, ts only a
strong and secret desire for further
favors. I believe It was Goethe whe
wrote: “He who Is not grateful for n
favor may be likened to one wlio mud­
dles the spring from which hkt thirst
was quenched."
When gratitude, I heard another
say, has become a matter of reason
Ing, there ore many ways of escaping
Its bonds. This is only another man
ner of saying that he who expects
gratitude Is a merchant, not a bene
fuctor. Gratitude, which the ancients
always painted tn the brightest eolors,
Is one’s duty, hut It Is not an Inalien­
able right one Is at liberty *n exact.
Honoré de Balzac, In probably one of
his less lucid moments, wrote that
gratitude was a foolish w ord; that,
though appearing In the dictionary. It
could never be found In the hearts.—
Frank Hanson, in Los Angeles Times.
A greed W ith the Jury
A slightly deaf old man who had
been making whisky all his life was
finally picked up and arraigned un­
der the drastic Cotorado still posses­
sion law. The jury, without leaving
the box, returned a verdict of guilty.
“Old man," said bis lawyer, "the
Jury says you ore guilty."
"Hay?"
“The Jury says you are guilty,” he
repented loudly In his ear,
"In what degree?”
"There Is no degree In a still case."
“Guilty all over, then?"
"Yes."
"Hay?"
"Yes,” shouted the lawyer.
“Well, that's whnt I told yon In the
first place, but you said you could
clear me. Wish now I'd got thnt judge
to defend me. Get him next time.”'-
