BRAzEN AUDACITY.

Henry Clews' financial circular, pub
lished in yesterdays dispatches. is about
the coolest piece of impudence, to come
from presumably authentic source,
that the public has been treated to in a
long time. 1t is tantamount to saying
that unless Wall Streets wishes and be-
hests are complied with, and at once,
Wall Street will proceed to inaugurate a
panic. The suspension of the ex:raordi-
narily large shipments of gold abroad
and the readiness of the holders Of gold
throughout the country to supply the
treasury with all the yellow money it
may require in exchange for notes go for
nothing. Wall street would better have
care what it demands and does.

Mice. Insects, Gophers and the Swarmin&
Sparrow Food for the Wise Bird.
The little screech-owl, we'll known in
most parts of the country. is indefatig-
able IN its work of destroying mice and
insects 1t may often be seen at dusk
towering about barns and ogthouses,
watching for mice, or SWIMMING over
the fields or along hedgerows in search
of grasshoppers. crickess and beetles
Many birds Of this species have taken
up residence in the cities having
learned to feed upon that most de-
structive nuisance, the English sparrow.
In winter rural residents often notice
the tracks of mice which form net
works in the snow. crossing and recross-
ing, passing in and out of walls and
understanding to show how active
these small rodents are when most of
the world sleeps. Occasionally such a
track stops abruptly, and, while tie oh.
server is trying to read more OF the his
tory written IN the snow, his eyes catch
the faint impression of pair of wing
tips near where the trail ends, and in
stantly he is made aware that tragedy

Probably the most important from an
economic point of view among owls is
the barn owl It's food is almost en-
tirely made up Of injurious mammals
In the west it feeds largely on pouched
gophers. and the stomach contents
OF many individuals examined have
revealed little else than the re-
mains of these rodents To appreciate
properly the services of this owl it must
be remembered that pouched gophers
are among the most, If not the most, de-
structive mammals which inhabit this
country. In various other localities it
feeds extensively on the common rat.
The great horned owl, which in the
east is persistent in its attacks on poul-
try and game, kills immense numbers
of rabbits in rabbit infested parts of

There is more good-for-nothingness and
short-sightedness masquerading under

The daughter of a rich farmer near
one of our small cities has recently
startled the community by marrying
tramp who came to her fathers door
few months previous to beg for
work
She had been well educated in a
young ladies' seminary She was ac-
complished and of pleasing appearance.
Her twenty-four years of monotonous
life were varied by weekly attend
ance at church, and her parents thought
her good girl, and believe her to be
satisfied with her mode of life. Her
long days were passed in dreary duties,
her long evenings in solitude and heart
hunger.
1t was the duties of those parents to
plan pleasure trips for their daughter,
and to see that she had suitable COM
panions for her age. They had no right
to expect her rich Young blood to flow
calmly and slowly as their own depict

used what influence she possessed in
creating some sort of social life for
her daughter, that she might meet
young men of her own calibre of mind
and cultivation.

to make itself like other towns; town

and which is the very heart of the body

The monumental gall of Kansas C

The monumental gall of Kansas City
is becoming proverbial. The papers of
that city are now demanding that the
railroads give Kansas City, during the
ensuing summer, the same passenger
rates that may be accorded the world

tempt anything of the kind and not
make the same rate for Kansas towns
there will be howl and a subsequent
squeeze which wont lack anything of be-
ing an epoch in the history of said
roads

why the Popuiists did not pass the law
which they threatened, and which
would compel the money lenders 10
charge lower rate of interest. The
EAGLE fails TO realize that too many Of
these starving Populists are loaning
money themselves to pass such law.

their money TO better advantage The
