Emperor Penguin <H the Johnny
Penguin or the King Penguin.
The African penguin was better
looking than they were, perhaps. He
wore a black and white suit tyid
their suits were dark grayish-black
and were not dressy at all.
But they were pets and they were
affectionate, which was more than
could be said for the African pen
gufn. He didn’t bother much about
anyone. *

little peilgulns offithe had come from Is

The flightless bird family had, in
all those quiet years, lost thejdeslre
to fly, and then they had forgotten
how to fly. Sr
He walked about on the rocks or
swam In the salt-water pond which
they hod built In the zoo for these
creatures. He wriggled h!s neck
about in different positions and
looked quite strange, and he was as
large ns a duck, though he didn’t
look anything like a duck at all. He
looked like himself.
He wore a grayish suit of feath

most remarkable.

of n blue-green color and looked as
the sea might look in a warm, trop

quite contented.

Up and down and over the rocks
walked the three little penguins.
They did not pay much attention to
the flightless bird or the African
penguin.
They had such a good time by
themselves. If they bumped into
each other or walked upon one an

They were all so friendly.

Observation Relieved
Monotony of Illness
It bus often been my feeling that
perhaps the happiest man Is the
healthy bookworm who, by laying
out a quarter for a second-hand vol
ume, can get as much pleasure in a
week as the other fellow, more de
pendent upon expensive entertain
ments nnd indulgeneies that draw
on his wad. The farmer is among
that happy class that can say with
the poet: “My mind to me a king
dom is; such pleasant joys therein
I find.”
But I discovered ids equal

it through j( pair of field glasses.
He asked me; “How

“About ltaif a dozen,’’ I replied.
“I have already found
seven,” he assured me. and went
to name them. Confinement to a

Man’s Feathered Friends
Birds are closely allied to the
British farmer. shepherd and
sportsman and those who are wise
in bird lore, rely on their feathered
friends for information and warn
ing. The wryneck is the woods
man’s bird, its hawklike cry in
April giving the signal for the strip
ping of oak trees’ bark. The yel
low wagtail is n farmer’s bird, ush
ering in the time of spring sowings.
As the sandsuiper is the angler’s
companion, the wheatenr keeps the
shepherd company on lonely downs.
Even the miller has ids bird In the
redwing, called “windmill thrush,”
since the working of its wings sug
gests the revolving of a windmill's
sails, while it is supposed to seek
shelter by windmills in hard weath
er. Redwings now arrive in force;
the pity is that few wimhnills are
left to keep up the traditional as
sociation.—London Mail.
Expert Shingle Weavers
In spite of the multiplication of
efficient machines to lighten and
simplify labor, shingles are still
woven (or packed) by hand. No
machinery has yet been invented
capable of eliminating the expert
shingle weaver. Examine a bunch
of shingles as the carpenter takes
them apart for shingling the roof,
and you will see the unique process
by which the compact bunch has
been woven. Now a wide shingle,
now a narfow one, makes the buribh
the exact width, and all day long
the weaver stands and seizes
shingle after shingle thrown
from the sawing machine, and with
out any false moves weaves
Into compact bunches. The term
shingle-weaver has been
by custom, till it now applies to
anyone who works, in any depart
ment of a shingle mill.

Los Angles, Dec. 30.—Kid Mc
Coy, former pugilfst, was convict
ed in superior court late yester
day of manslaughter in connection
with the shooting here August 12
last of Mrs. Theresa Mors. The
penalty for manslaughter is from
one to ten years imprisonment.
When the verdict was read, Mc
Coy’s eyes became tear-dimmed as
he sat at the end of the counsel
table.
y Not Just Verdict, /
“I r-jr don’t believe it ju?t
was a
verdict,” he said.' “If I am not
guilty as charged, I am not guilty
at all. ••
The prisoner then rose and in,
custody of bailiffs walked across
the court room to comfort his
three sisters, who were weeping.
Foreman F. W. Coulther, of
jury, said that the verdict wa a
compromise—“the best we gould
do.* '
The jury which was out longer
than any other in the legal history
of Los Angles Gounty, had been
Ibcked up for 78 hours when the
verdict was returned at 5;06 o'clock
tonight and had been in actual
deliberation for 34 hours.
24 Ballots
Twenty-four ballots were taken
before the fate of the former
prize-fighter was read in ’ open
court. The jury was comprised
of nine women and three man.
Superior Judge C. S. Crail had
no comment to make other than “I
guesa it was the best that they
could do.
Several hundred persons, many
of them women and members <of
Southern California boxing circles,
thronged the halls outside the
courtroom, when the verdict w*a
returned.
Sentence Friday
Sentence will be passed Friday
at 10 a. m. Defense attorneys
announced tonight that notice of
appeal would be filed at that time.
McCoy’s trial on four counti of
robbery and three of assault with
intent to murder, all growing out
of the /hooting orgy in 'the Mors
antique shop, the morning after
Mrs. Mors was killed, is set down
on Judga Grail’s calendar for Jan
uary 5 next and the district at
torney’s office announced tonight
that the state would proceed
against the former tighter without
delay.
Inasmuch as the penalty for
first degree robbery, in which the
offender used a deadly weapon is
from one to 14 years, convi^ion
in the forthcoming trial may
prove more serious for' McCoy
than today's conviction, particu
larly if he should be convicted on
all counts and sentenced to serv#
consecuti terms.
