A JACKDAW’S LOOT. 
Tur few hundred persons in this village, near 
he foot of the Waukaw Mountains, are not 
tourning the death of Tad, the ancient jackdaw 
lelonging to farmer Walter Edwards, says a 
aysville (N. J.) correspondent of the Times. 
‘ecause of the old freebooter’s death nearly 
verybody in the village has recovered some 
recious lost article. 
| Tad was a favorite in Jaysville. No one ever 
aught him in any deed of a questionable nature. 
He might well have pointed with pride to his 
jecord, and no one before he died would have 
jnown enough to call his bluff. 
| His home was in the cupola of the Edwards 
table. It was hard going for even a boy to 
let into that, and no one had ever looked at 
lhe life Tad led from the inner side of his 
hreshold. He went about in the best society 
nd was always trusted. 
He began to ail the day after Thanksgiving, 
jnd after several days retired to his cupola and 
lied. Tommy Edwards went into the cupola 
ind found the body. On a _ ledge about four 
inches wide, which went all the way around the 
vupola, Tommy found a fine lot of jewelry, let- 
ers (some love), bric-a-brac, and such boys’ 
lelights as jackknives. 
| Mr. Edwards recognized some of the articles 
is belonging to neighbors. and decided to post 
| list of the loot on the door of the Dutch Re-
