CRUEL BUTCHER BIRDS

They Kill, Not for Provender, but
for the Fun There Is in 1t. ,
The butcher bird, that is familiar to
all ranches in California, is considered
by some Of the foremost ornithologists
as the most SagaciOuS bird in America.
Thomas. Oldham of Lordsburg tells us
that he believes it is as cruel as it is
sasacious. Il have paid lots of atten-
ton to a pair Of common butcher birds
at my place for six months" said he to
us the other day; land I have learned
many new things about the habits of
the peculiar butcher bird. A pair Of
them have followed me while blowing
for three or four days at a time, watch
ing and waiting for me to everturn a
nest of field mice. When I overturn
a nest they will pounce down upon the
little mice, and claw and peck them to
death. Then the mouse carcasses are
carried away to some 'neighboring Or
ange or lemon tree, and spiked upon
the thorns. The birds seldom eat the
mice, but kill them for sheer love of
the excitement. When they can spike

She had been talking pleasantly to
two OF three women; she made her
good-byes all cheerful and bright and,
after she had disappeared, one woman
turned to another and said in a tone
that was soothing: '''She is thorough
woman of the world Now in this
case the woman who had said zone
but pleasant words, who had stopped
by "a bright story the discussion of a
petty scandal, was a WOman who was
as braye-hearted as any that ever lived
n who bore, not only her own, but
the burdens of a good many other peo-
pie, yet she saw no reason why she
should infict her troubles on her
friends, nor why, while she was in the
world, she should not be in it's best
sense a woman Of the world.
A woman of the world is one who
feels that the story told to hurt your
feelings is essentially bad form.
A woman Of the world is the one
who is courteous to old people, who
laughs. with the young and who makes
herself agreeable to women in all con-
ditions Of life. u
A woman of the world is one who
makes her good morning q pleasant
greeting, her visit a bright spot in the
day and her goodbye a hope that, she
may come again. ~ ~
A woma of the world is one who
does not gauge people by their Clothes,
OIL their riches, out who condemns bad
manners.
A woman of the world is one who
does not let her right hand know what
her left hand does. She does not dis
cuss her charities at an afternoon tea,
nor the faults of her family at a prayer
meeting.
A veritable woman Of the world is
the best type of, a Christian, for her

long to initiate her. Remember that

it and the people who make it, and to

A woman of the world is one who

may be placed. She is the woman who
can receive the unwelcome guest with
a smile, and a handshake so cordial
that in trying to make the welcome
seen real it becomes SO. A woman
of the world is n whose love for hu.

The French woman delights in the adj

calls forth from the crowds which
throng the boulevard, and is not
at all annoyed if many eyes
follow her as she spins along. A
amount of attention was worn by a
very pretty blonde. The knee breeches
were Of black satin, also the sailor
collar, everything else being white
with the exception of the black stripes
which encircled the leg of the stocking

A Royal Knittcr.

Queen Victoria is an expert and in
defatigable knitter. During the last
Egyptian campaign she and the ladies'
of the household employed themselves
in knitting quilts, which, at the end Of
the war, were sent to Netley hospital
for the use Of the wounded. One Of
these, made entirely by her majesty,
and bearing an elaborate V. r. in the
center, was the coverlet par excellence
of the institution, and in universal
demand for a time. In assessing the
claims of the candidates for the honor
Of sleeping under it, the medical staff
naturally gave the precedence to the
most severely wounded, and as the
most severely wounded was the one
most likely to. die, very soon, alas!
an evil omen attached itself to the dis
tinction, the climax of which was
reached one night, when a poor sol
der, feeling something touching his
bed clothes, woke up with the perspir-
alton pouring down his face, and cried
out, oh. sir, do anything you like with
me, but for Gods sake don't give NC

TOPEKA, April 9.-There were no develop
ments in the strike Of locomotive shop
men on the Santa Fe railroad today, and
the seriousness Of it cannot be approx
mated before tomorrow. The strikers are

grievances, and those of their number
who know the exact terms Of the propo-
sition submitted by the grievance com.
mittee to the railroad company admit
that it does not relate to differences 20 far
40 wages are concerned. The real point at
issue is whether the company shall enter
into written contract with the union con-
trolling the shops or continue to deal with
the men a. individuals,s as it has been
doing.
So far no excitement has been mani
tested. The shops and yards were de-
serted today. A large number of appli-
cants for positions received places. One
Of the strikers who was interviewed today
said that, in his opinion, the strike was
premature. Dissatisfaction over its having
been ordered is already beginning to show
itself among the men. The speaker said
that he intended to return to work on
Monday or Tuesday, and he thought that
others would do the same. Inquiry among
some OF the men has failed to reveal this
sentiment as prevalent.

BIG STRIKE AT WORLDS FAIR.
Five Thousand Men Are to Quit Work
ON the Grounds Today.
CHICAGO. April 9-At 8 O'Clock tomor-
row morning every union man working
for the Worlds Columbian Exposition
Company is expected to quit work. 1t is
estimated that between 1900 and 5000
men will quit. They come from almost
every division of workers ON the grounds.
It required four meetings of the agents of
unions to decide the question of ordering
all the men out, but it is said to have been
plain that the only other recourse was for
the organizations to acknowledge defeat.
None Of the delegates would agree to this,
and tho order for the strike was the re-
suit.
The Buildings Trades Council, which
passed the resolution calling the men out,
addressed a long Communication to the
council of administration. declaring that
the laboring men had been friendly to the
fair and saying:
We do not mean 70 charge any one with bad
faith, but We do mean 70 say that the ssrssment
that eight hours should constitute . days work
and all differences to be submitted 70 arbitra-
tion, were never fully adhered to By you. and at
this time, a. We look at IL. the council of id.

trate the diaessnce between osgsnissd labor
and the expesition.

both parties agreeing beforehand to accept
the Same.

done," said Director General Davis to-
night, ''but one thing 10 certain, the work
