lightning they dart at the intruder,
which instantaneously seeks its
escape in flight. The perch is pa
rent watching its nest, for under
meath in the sand place has been
cleared away about two feet in di-
ameter, in which there lie scat
tered hundreds Of little eggs, not
much larger than grains OF sand.
The vigilance Of the parent perch
is very necessary, for if by acct
dent the parent leaves the nest,
even only for a few moments,
a number Of little minnows, like
jakals, are waiting to fall into the
nest and pick up the eggs which
the mother has been farming so
carefully with her fins. After the
little perch issue from the eggs
their mother is still their best
friend, for few days at least, and
then as they grow their mothers az

There is nothing sacred to that
whole family, which numbers a
great many species in Texas, as it
is one of our most prominent fish.
In the Trinity river | found not
less then thirteen species and in
the San Antonio and in the San
| Marcos the number is even greater
While as food fish the perch is
rather small, yet there are
some varieties which get as
large as mans hand, especially
those living in clear springs, and
to the lover Of the sport Of fishing,
the perch is quite gamy because it
is always present. There is no
river or pool which does not hold
some members OF that family, nc
matter how pure or elegant the
water may be. Itseems to puzzle
many people how perch can get in
to tanks newly made, and it is
often said that they fall from the
sky during rain. But there
is a method much simpler
than that. They are being carried
there in the form Of eggs by wad.
ing birds like cranes, ETC., which
while they swallow the fish entire

are being carried from one water tc
another. 1t is merely natures

Whiting the Point Down Fine.

BERNARDsNILLE, N. j., Jan. 81
An impression prevails here, the
home Of J. Coleman Drayton, that
the domestic troubles of Mrs. and
Mrs. Drayton will never be venti-
lated in the court. 1t Is said by
some Of Mr.. Drayton's friends and
neighbors that the lawyers on both
sides are now trying to effect some
kind Of a compromise and that the
divorce suit will be settled out of
the court. Those who entertain
this opinion say that it explains
why the trial of the suit has been
indefinitely postponed. 1t is stated
that the Astor family are especial
ly averse to the case being tried in
the courts. Next Monday is the
time set down for hearing in the
chancellor's court in Jersey City
on the application Of Mrs. Drayton
for more time to amend the an
swer to her hus bands's complaint.

A Desperate Fight With Burglars

SEYMOUR, Ind, Jan. 3l.-At Todd
postoffice, a few miles from Hurts,
Ind, two men entered the home Of
John Hellenberg by breaking in
the door. Upon being awakened
Hellenberg arose in bed, when the
burglars opened fire on him, which
resulted in his being killed. Mrs.
Hellenberg and two sons then
arose and with a corn knife, a
board and fists, and after a desper-
ate struggle, succeeded in driving
the robbers away, but not until the
skull of one of the sons was frac-
tured and one OF the robbers was
cut with a corn knife. Robbery
was the object.

The waif of wounded Knee.

Washington Letter in Philadelphia Times.
Those who remember the terrible battle
that took place some four years ago be-
tween the indians of the Pine Ridge agency
and the United States regular troops at the
place known as Wounded Knee may have
forgotten that a girl baby was found on
the body of her mother four days after the
fight. That Indian baby is alive and well,
and is now the adopted daughter of General
Colby, who took her under his care as soon
as she was found and brought her to his
wife. Big Foot, chief of the Sioux, had
about twenty lodges gathere about him
when the outbreak began, but after a ter
rible fight in the winter not one of the hum
dred and twenty warriors was left to tell
the tale; and when the soldiers went over
the snow-covered field days afterwards they
found the dead body of an Indian squaw,
and closely held to her breast was a tiny
babe about seven months old.
Zintka Lanuni, as she is called, does not
seem to be- the Lost Bird" that her name
indicates, for when a Times reporter called
at the home of Mrs. Colby a few days ago
she came running in and began to speak in
excellent English and show some queer balls

child of fine intelligence, calling her adopted
father and mother, mother" and father"
and evidently not ever imagining that she
is always regarded with curious eyes by
all visitors. She dresses in the same gowns
as the little American girls wear. and one
would never notice her were it not for the
Indian cast of the dark features and the
black, straight hair that is combed back

if it were her own child, and she will be

The epidemic at present raging among
pearance in a yirulent form about one year
ago.
There had been a few scattered cases be-
fore that time, but the malady had not
taken a firm hold, and the bacilli were not
yet generally distributed.
The disease should be known as Boards
leyism." although its victims generally re-
gard it as high art. up to date. Albert
Beardsley, a young E~nglishman, deliberately
started the trouble, and succeeded in having
himself talked about and initiated, which is
practically the same as being successful.
The old-fashioned way of learning to draw
pictures was to study perspective, light and
shade, exact form, anatomy and a few other
things. students went to the art institute
and sketched for hours at a time to get
Hercules absolutely correct, with every
tracery of muscle shown.
They studied the ancient modes of Statu-
airy and the paintings which revealed the
speaking likeneSses of men and women.
That was before the malady appeared. Mr..
Beardsley's pictures came along and the
tered.
The new kind of art demonstrated that a

that the hair may gadiate from the head in
rigid ringlets, that the feet may be of the
outline of pruning hooks.

Women i'm the Church.

So the women nave triumphed at last, to
a limited extent, SO far as the Methodist
Church is concerned. The Laymen's AS
ISOLATION of the Philadelphia Conference has
decided to admit the other side of the house
to full membership. And why not, pray?
What would become of the lay men if it
were not for the lay women? What would
become of the church itself If the women
should all determine to stay at home and
have nothing to do with its work? 1t is
a fashion of the time in certain skeptical
circles to suggest that the church is a
good place fer women and men of weak
minds; but there is not one of these sapient
critics who would not be shamed to make
such a reflection upon his own wife, or his
mother. or his sister. There is no lack
of brains on the women $ side of the church;
in fact, there are many sections where the
beam goes up at the other end. The Phila-
delphia Conference, the most influential in
Methodism. can never cancel its debt of
gratitude to the loyal and devoted women
Who have SO enthusiastically. and often
Extraordinarily. sustained the church IN
all its departments. 1t Is to be hoped the
action taken by the Laymen'S Association
will be generally followed
