Busy Birds Which You May 500 In tn q
Woods This Month.
Perhaps you would like to hoar of n
curious little bird. Go out into tho woods
In January or February any time and
you may SEQ him. Ho Is about six
inches long. He wears black cap, n
grayish blue coat and dirty white
shirt front He runs up and down tho
tree trunks, searching diligently for
little insects who think thcy have hid
den themselves safely away In some
little crack In tho bark, says tho New
York World.
Ho is quiet little fellow, having no
song. Tho only noise he makes is q
harsh call, which sounds like the word
"quanlsl" This bird is called the nut
hatch, because he Is fond of nuts, crack
Ing them open and eating the kernels.
You may see one Of them take an acorn
as big as his head, and fixing It In some
crevice in the tree pound away upon it
with his little bill until it breaks open
and rewards tho little worker with a
meal.
These birds are also expert gymnasts
They will run up a tree, going swiftly
rouSl and round It all the way up
Then quickly turning about they will
come down tho trunk head first in the
same fashion, stopping now and then
to snap up some little bug or worm
which has vcnturcd out to SEQ what tho
weather Is.

these birds rs little devil down heads" 1"

SHOPPERS IN A PANIC.

CHICAGO STORE.
SEVEN PEOPLE ARE INJURED
And Two Have Almost Miraculous
Escapes From Horrible
Deaths.

CHICAGO. March Pa fire which
broke out in the basement of the
Bell clothing house on the corner of
State and Quincy streets early today
destroyed the entire contents of the
establishment above the second floor,
and left only the walls of the build
ing from that floor to the roof
standing.
Occurring at the busiest hour of
the day, with the store crowded
with customers and employees, and
the flames running through the
building like a train of powder, fill
ing every nook and corner with
their dense smoke, it was remarka-
bic that no lives were lost. In at
tempting to escape from the build
ing the following persons were in
jured: G. H. Smith, clerk, leg brok-
en- in jumping from the second floor
window and bruised about the body;
Dick Burns, elevator boy, slightly
burned about the face; Grace Mer-
tell, clerk, bruised by fall, and
carried from the building; Helen

smoke; Samuel Cohn, a salesman;
John Didiel, the engineer. Both lat

so. Then they rushed to the front
windows and We're about to pump

swung off and held on the sign un-
til they were. taken down by the fire.
men.
Charles Smith, another employee,
was injured by falling from the sec
ond story. He stepped outside to a
window ledge and made an effort
to reach. a window in the next build
ing. The crowd of spectators dis
cerned how fruitless would be the
undertaking, and the excitement
among them was, intense as they
warned the man at the window to
remain where he was. Smith, how
ever, missed his footing and fell
striking the fiagstone feet foremost,
and fractured one of his legs.
Miss Grace Mertell, employed by
the clothing company, was on the
fourth floor when the flames burst
through the floor. She tainted, and
had to be carried from the burning
structure. When brought out into
the fresh air the young woman was
soon revived.
The loss on the building was SIG, 900.

! Mr.Thurston' departure puts an

! department. His statement does not
make clear, however, whether his
absence is temporary or permanent.
1t is regarded as final, however. in

any Irritation. There have been re-

less, that if he persisted in remain

would be evoked to have him de-

garded as a shrewd
