fSS-Baaaa-aH^^—- TENDERNESS OF MR. CORLISS. The Great Engineer Delayed a building to Allow the Birds a Chance. Mr. Corlis-s, the great engineer, not very long before his death had occa sion to build an addition to his manu factory—a big “L” tor additional ma chinery. To prepare the foundation for this L, it was necessary to remove a ledge of rock by blasting. The men to do the work on the addition had been employed and put on the pay roll; the materials had been purchased andjbrought to the building, and the work of blasting had begun. The next morning Mr. Corliss passed by the place where work was proceeding, when the foreman in charge, knowing his interest in pretty things, called him. “See here, Mr. Corlisn," said he. “here is a bird's nest that we’ve found, and that’s got to go.” He showed the manufacturer a rob in sitting upon a nest that bad been built fast and snug in the cre vice of the rock, among some bushes that grew there. The bird (lew oil her nest as the men came near, and showed five blue eggs that looked as if they had just been laid. “Can we move that nest somewhere else ?” asked the tender hearted Mr. Corliss. “I’m afraid not, sir. We'd tear it to pieces getting it out, and it isn’t at all likely that you coidd get the bird to go sittiug again anywhere else. We’ve got to go on, so we may as well rip it out and throw the eggs nway.” “No,” said Mr. Corliss. “We won’t disturb her. Let her bring her brood out rigliP there.” “But we’ll have to stop work on the building!” “Let us stop it, then.” And so orders were given that oper ations on tho addition should he sus pended. They were suspended, and the hands stood still, drawing their pay for doing nothing, or next to nothing, while the robin sat on her nest with an air of great consequence and zealous attention to business, and her food brought by her mate, and at last hatched her brood. And then there were three weeks more to go by at least, before the young ones could fly. .Corliss visited the nest frequent ly, not with any uneasiness or impa tience to have the lobin and the young ones nut of the way, but with a genuincj interest in their growth. The old birds bad all the time they wanted; and when at last they bad helped tbejelumsy, reluctant young sters over the edge of the nest, orders were given to resume the building operations.—Boston Transcript. A Kansas paper gets oil the follow ing: : “One of our .Sunday school teach ers on a recent occasion told her pu pils that when they put their pennies in the contribution box she wanted each one to repeat f Bible verse suit able for the occasion. Tho first boy dropped in a penny saying: “The Lord loveth a cheerful giver.” The next boy dropped bis cent saying: “He that giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord.” The third hoy dropped his penny saying: “A fool and his money arc soon parted.” A design for a new postage stamp has been prepared by a St. Louis printing house and sent broadcast over the country tor approval. It is a green stamp, two inches square and contains the portrait of John L. Sulli van, the slugger. On the top are the words: “U. S. Our Country’s Cham - pion,” and on the bottom: “Too Big to Be Licked.”—Lx. I s. Real Estate Agent, THOMASVILLE, GA. Office (Ter lleid I Clipper's Did: Sloe, ITut Si.
