at that time waa a member of a small
pioneer company wblqh progressed by
means of three "bull teams" from one
mining camp to another. - They were
always heartily receive by the "min
ers and cowboys, who readily paid the
f5 In sold required to witness their
performance. Mr. Jefferson was the
traditional melodramatic villain and Id
the third act was supposed to kidnap
"the child." The supposed inutlier.
bearing its cries, rushes upon the scene
Just as he is about to escape and fires
a fruitless shot from a revolver.
Upon this particular occasion all had
gone well until this scene was reached,
and the audience, many of tybom had
never before seen any kind Jf theatric

however, the spell waa rudely broken,

Changes In Plumage That Ar
Pu-
lling to th Novice.
Most every one in America is ac
quainted Willi the goldtinih. but many
people know the bird by the name of
let In i e bird on account of its bright
yellow color, (ioldtiiicb Is a very ap
propiiute name, as the bright yellow
of the male when he is in breeding
plumage is like burnished gold. The
female pildlinch Is more modestly
dressed tlm.i her mate. Tbe changes
in plumage of tbe male are very inter
esting and to the novice somewhat puz
fling. Until the student becomes acquainted
with the bird he muy wonder why be
sees no males during the winter. Tbe
truth is at thin season the flocks of sup
posed fertiale goldfinches are really of
both sexes, the male bird having as
sumed in the previous fall, usually
by the eud of October, a plumage close:
ly resembling that of the female apd
young bird of the yenr. Tbe male re
tains this Inconspicuous dress until
late lu February, when one can notice
a gradual change tsking place in some
ef tbe birds.
This renewal of feathers Is actively
continued through March and April,
and by May 1 our resplendent bird Is
with us again. Tbe song period with
tbe male goldfinch continues as long as
he wears his gold snd black livery, for
It commences as early as the middle of
March aud ends late lu August
A Successful Interview.
The late Arthur McKvvan wbeu he
wag working on a San Fi'anclsco news
paper was nttraeted by the activities
of a politician who was vulgar. Illiter
ate and hideously ungrammatical in
his method of expression.' McEwnn
looked up this man and bad a talk
With him. Then he went back to the
Office and wrote tbe Interview in tbe
most perfect English, brilliant, polish
ed and crammed the story full of clas
sical allusions, quotations aud big
words. It was a most scholarly pro-
duction. and McEwan considered tbe
satire great. Next day McEwan had a
call from the politician. "I wanter
thank ye, for that interview," he said.
"It's bully. Just what I said. You
must be a graud shorthand reporter."
