A 'Mistake.
It was past eleven. The iold man en-
tered the parlor and, approaching his
diaughteVsi admirer, said: "Young man,
do you know what time it is?"
The timid youth leapt to his feet and
stammering "Y -y -yes" hurried into
the hall and then out into the night.
The old naafi stood. bewildered.
"That's a queer fellow to have call-

"Why did he rush off in that fashion?

wanted to get. the time from him to

Still other 'wild birds, known as
game birds, are of importance 'to hu-
