The highwaymen of Chicago are q bold
gang. Two Chicago policemen were held
up by highwaymen while the confederstes
of the latter robbed the passengers on q

Binders which prevent a horse from
seeing distinctly have probably caused
more runaways than most drivers would
care to acknowledge, and it has remained

little careful how they pray. They visit

The London Statist has this to say: The
American people are descended from eco
nomically the most effective race in the
world. They settled in the States, taking
with them highly developed civilization
and habits of law and order confirmed
through many generations. They have
half a continent at their command, there
is even yet a vast amount of unoceupied
soil, there is a diversified climate, there
are resources almost nmitless, and there is

their army aud their navy, certain that no
foreign foe will attack them. The world
has never seen people SO happily cir
cumstanced, with such marvellous oppor-
tunities for progress and Improvement.

of extinction. The fashion of mounting
whole birds In hats and bonnets has been
peculiarly fatal. What the society il

benefit. The report points out that it IL
not only the direct slaughter of birds foa
which fashion is responsible. There is Al
enormous demand nowadays for real win
ter berries for the purposes of feminin
adornment. As result good many bird
which escape the snare of the fowler di
of starvation for lack of their natural food
