Crows that Divide the Spoils.

As q rule, female birds do most OF the
work which the little feathered crea-
lures find necessary to their welfare;
but Sir John Lubbock, the naturalist,
tells of a New Zealand crow with which
the case il different. The male bird
has q strong bill adapted to cutting and
digging into decayed trees, but he is
deficient in that horny-pointed tongue
which would permit him to pierce the
grub and draw it out The hen bird
has, however, an elongated and straight
bill. .'aud when the cock has dug down
to the burrow. the hen inserts her long
bill and draws out the grub. which

Wronged.
Galena Times.
The little village of Lowell fur
nishes choice bit of scandal tor
gossips to peddle. r
If the story az related to Times
reporter is true, frankie Timmons,
the 16-year old daughter of a farmer
living near Lowell, has been baseiy
wronged and insulted in her pitia,,
bic light by Will Dowell, the son OF
a Lowell merchant.
About a year ago young Dowell,
who is about nineteen years old, be-
gan making visits to the Timmons
home to call on Miss frankie. The
friendship seemed to be OF short
duration, but it was all too long tor
Miss Frankie's welfare, who is a
mother but not a wife. Young Dow
ell was arrested, charged with be-
ing the father of Frankie's baby,
and placed in the Columbus jail,
though he has since been released
on bond.
While Dowell was in Jail the girl
wrote him a letter, begging him to
marry her, and thereby make par
tial restitution for his crime and
save her and the child from ever
lasting disgrace. 1t is reported that
Young Dowell spurned the PROPOSE
ton and replied by letter to the
helpless and unfortunate girl that
even should he marry her, he would
not live with her day.
The young mans inpudent letter
so exasperated the girls father that
he will now push the prosecution 10
the bitter end, and the letter will be
used in evidence.
The crime with which young Dow
ell is charged is one which appears
too often on the criminal calendar
but the laws of Kansas provide Sc
we're punishment, and if Dowell is
guilty as charged, he had better
ponder we'll before refusing the
Young girls proposition lest he il
