Singular Deception by Butrernies.

It is well known that birds do not especially care for hairy butterflies. So in Central Africa, Belt found 8 curious beetle, that was tidbit for birds, clothed in coat of long brown hairs, closely re- sembling the thick, hairy caterpillars. In the same localities spiders have been found that looked exactly like ants, and were thus enabled to creep npon their prey. the real ants Wallace observed 8 butterfly that, though an acceptable mor- se1 to the birds. deceived them by mimickingthe flight of a poisonous butter fly. If bird chased it, it at once assumed the curious and laborious flight of it's poisonous model, and the bird, noticing it's evident mistake, would always give up the pursuit.

BIRMINGHAM.

Rumor has it that one Mark Murphy, a scab employee of the D. S. Co.,, has been the victim of serious encounter with Gu pid, the female in the case being an es- timable young lady from Long Hill whom Mark has been paying marked attention to for year or two past He was to have been married just before Lent, and would have, no doubt, but for a union cfgarmaker, who being better versed in unionism. stole march on the now rejected scab, and entered into a union with his intended bride, leaving poor Mark to mark time in the rear. Further remarks are inorder.
 The following appeared in the N. Y. Sun of last Sunday: ssWANTED. Experienced turner's, spinners, solderers and burnishers steady work guaranteed. Apply between l 10 A. M and 2 F. M. Monday at the office of F. s. Strickland Park Place." Monday afternoons mall brought us the news to be on the lookout for tscabs''-that the above advertisement was for the Derby Silver Go. The same mail also brought letter from St. Louis, Mo. enquiring if the Derby Silver Go. strike was settled, as the agent, Joe Beach, had been trying to employ men 1 in that city, telling them that the strike was settled and things were all right also that he had orders for $50, ,000 worth of goods. In reply to our answer, they stated that they would like to meet MT Beach and if they did,. they would make things hot for him. This Is the last struggle for lease of life on the part of the Derby Silver Go. It will be impossible for them to secure competent help and they cannot get along with the inexperienced help they now have; They are comming to realize that they cannot afford to put work they are now doing on the market as it would forever kill their trade. Their wares have always been superior to that of any other shop but with the present material what can it be. In spite of the fact that they are selling for 20 per cent less than other companies they cannot afford to make Derby Silver Go, intend to continue in the busienss they had better settle this strike, pay their old help what they ask, and continue to make saleahle goods
 The sooner they come to this conclusion the better it will be for all concerned.

An Increduious Professor.

Tom Anjery, student at the Universi- ty of Texas, applied to Professor Shore for permission to be obsent.
 ssI would like to be excused from my jography lesson this afternoon as want to take my sister out riding" said Tom.
 The old professor, who is no fool, look ed at the young man over the top of his spectacles and said, slowly:

One Wonan'ssp Speculation

The wife Of Detroit Spectator went
east a few days ago to visit friends
in Mohawk Valley of New York. In
due time he received a letter from her
announcing her safe arrival, and adj
ding: 81 am going to show you that
a woman knows how to speculate as
well as a man. Apples are much
cheaper here than in Detroit, and |
am going to buy and ship a car load
on speculation"
The thermometer was at zero, and
the man pranced around like a crazy
steer. She could not be reached by
telegraph. and the letter he sent in
reply had not been gone but two
hours when he received a second,
which said: Enclosed you will fnd
the shipping bill Of the Car load of
apples. Don't sell one of them at
less than $500 a barrel, and don't
never say again that women don't
know how to turn a dollar to ao.
| count"
Yesterday the man went down tc
look at the ear Every apple was, OF
course, frozen as hard as a stone, and
when the freight agent asked: "Wha1
blanked fool shipped you apples il
this sort of weather." it seemed to be
a great satisfaction to reply:
"My wife, shiny wife.."

Tuesday evening he stepped into Mr.

his farm twelve miles distant. He
remarked then that he had a pain in
his shoulder and did not know what
to make OF it. His boarding place
was not over fifty feet distant, and
reaching there he fell on the steps

what WorrIas Sparks.
Chicaso Tribune.

We do not wonder that Land Com
missioner Sparks is annoyed by the
stories OF his untitness for the Office
he now holds. The prospect Of be-
ing bounced out of a remunerative
situation would not seem calculated
to inspire q man with enthusiasm and
hilarity. But what probably worries
Mr.. Sparks more than anything else
is the possibility of being assigned to
duty in the state department. We
are free to confess that we know of
nothing more humiliating than the
prospect OF being classed among
Thomas f. Bayard's museum of liv.
ing curiosities.

The nor recent vagalies of Ahra-

in which it was alleged that Boynton

planned and executed the appoint
ment of MIR. Ziebach toa land Office

was aware hat in his own mind he
had not the slightest comprehension
of the subject and that the ear marks
OF his trainer where the salient points

a placid delight in having produced
something which would be printed

Dakota was once New France; in
1868 it became the property of Spain;
in 1900 the property of France again;
in 1903 the property of the United
States. Then 1t was included in the
District of Louisiana, under the gov
ernment Of Indiana territory; then in
1905 it became a part of the territory
Of Louisiana. In 1912 the territory
of Orleans, having been added into
the Union under the name OF "Lohis-
lana Dakota's territory was called
Missouri. When in 1921 the state
Of Missouri was carved out of this
territory, Dakota belonged TO a name-
less waste until 1884; then all Of it
east of the Missouri and White Earth
rivers fell into the arms OF the Terri
tory OF Michigan. In 1885 Michigan
took wat she needed for . stale and
slid under the Union tenr, leaving US
in the territory OF Wisconsin. in
1888 the territory was divided and
we fell into the arms OF Iowa. IN
1886 Iowa marched in uuder the

nesota. Ii 1888 Minnesota tore what
