POOR BOB WHITE.
Plea for the Shy Game Bird When the
Weather Is bad.

A Plea for the Shy Game Bird When the
Weather Is had.
When snow covers the ground and
sleet envelops trees and shrubs many
birds of various kinds seek the farm
house and its vicinity. They seem to
know that in their extremity man is
their friend. Their confidence is not
misplaced; they are literally fed by diff.
ferent members of the household until
the emergency has passed and they arc
again able to make their own living.
These birds come TO MANS abode for
protection MS well as for food, and after
the cravings of hunger are appeased
they stay around the dwelling, feeling
that the predatory hawk, fox, owl and
the heartlcss, murderous gunner of this
season will not reclxlessly venture to
assail them. Frequently these birds
return season after season to the same
homessesds. BY reason of their appeal
tomanlsind birds of this class seldom
die from the effects of hard winters,
says the Baltimore Sun.
That the great game bird, the part
ridge, excessively wild and tiJnid, does
not, when privation comes, seek mans
homestead like the birds mentioned
above, though in extremes of weather
covey of partridges may be seen
about the strawyards where cattle are
housed and fed. Their presence about
such places is proof of their sufferings,
for they only leave their accustomed
haunts and fastnesses when sorely
pressed for want OF food. These birds
have been found dead in severe wealth
er, poisoned from eating laurel to sat
isfy their hunger. Clothed in beauti-
: full plumage Of hucs in accord with the
ground, they escape fairly well from
the hawk in ordinary times, but they
stand out in bold relief on the snow
and fall an easy prey to the tireless, in
satiate hawk, as well as the fox and
owl. 1t is against the law to either
shoot or trap this noble bird at this
season, and farmers and others should
sec that no marauding in this line is
done. In addition to preserving this
gallinaceous bird the agricnlturist
knows that the partridge IL the farm
er's friend, and that he destroys nlyri-
ads of injurious insects, thus protect
ing the grain crops and the fruit from
much injury. Everyone, whether resi-.
dent of tho city or country, loves to

Your Physical Condition.

Needs attention at this time. If
you are tired, weak and nervous,
it is clear that your blood is inn
pure, and without doubt there has
been too much over-work or strain
on brain or body. The course of
treatment for such a condition is
plain and simple. The blood must
first be purified SO that the nervous
system, and in fact all the organs
will be fed upon pure blood. In

A BRAVE GIRL.
Heroism OF Waitress in u Turning


Hcroism OF Waitress in Turning
Hotel
1t does not require either mature
years or an exalted position in life to
develop the qualities that make
hero on heroine. One of the bravest
and most rcsolute deeds that we have
ever read of was performed only recent
ly by a girl of sixteen who was serving
as dining-room girl in hotel ut Har-
per- KAN, says Youths Companion.
AT four o'clock on the morning of the
10th of November fire broke out at
this hotel, In its rooms slept thirty
seven guests, A strong wind was
blowing, and the fire spread rapidly.
In one of the rooms two dining-room
girls were asleep, One of them, whose
name is Maud Schermerhorn, woke half
suffocatcd bysmolSe. Her companion was
insensible; and Maud, though herself
half-sutfocated, helped the other out Of
the window, and herself leap1j out,
cutting her flesh badly on the glass us
she did So She dragged her companion
to place where she would be safe.
Then she saw that the flames were
enveloping the house, and that the
guests had not been alarmed.
The task of doing this she took upon
herself Breaking through fastened
lower window, and again c;dting her.
self severely, she cropt back into the
hotel, the halls OF whiel, were thick
with choking smoke. She could not
walk upright against The spNol;c; but
getting down on her hands aud knees,
her face To the floor, She cropt through
the corridors, from room to room,
alarming all in the house.
Everywhere she left trail of blood
behird her from her hleeGipg flesh.
When the last guest had oreued the
door OF his ROOM in response TO her
call, he found her lying helpless in
ipaol of her own blood.

Chinese Want to conci,late Uncle s.m

Washington: The Chinese minister
called at the state department and
held a conference with Acting Secre-
tary McAdoo and Assistant Secretary
Rockhill concerning the progress of
the investigation into the recent Chi
nese riots. The minister assured the
secretaries that he called upon the eX-
press direction of his government to
convey direct official assurance of the
desire on the part of the Pekin author
tiles to make adequate reparation for
the injury done to American interests
by the Chinese rioters and to set at
rest the reports which represent
different spirit on the part of the
Chinese.
Hong Kong: 1t is reported that the
Chinese officials are working actively
and thoroughly in the investigation
being made into the recent massacre
of missionaries. Ten Negetarians, it
is added, have already been convicted.
There is said to be no danger of any

TROOPS AT IsHPEMlNo.

MInes-striIkersN Worry sn.len.


Mines-striIkers Very suleh.
In response to acquisitions from both
Sheriff Broad. of Marquette county, and
Mayor Johnson, of lshpeming Gov.

Fifth regiment, Michigan National
Guard, located at Houghton, Calumet,
Ironton and Marquette TO report TO
Col. Lyon of the Fifth at Ishpeming at
once. Assistant tcr-Gen-

divisions of the Michigan Naval Re-
serves. located at Detroit, were also
ordered to be in readiness, with their
Calling and rapid fire guns. to proceed
TO Ishpeming on short notice.
The cause of all of this military
gathering was for the purpose of pro-
tecting the men and property at the
mines at Ishpeming, it having been
decided to start the steam shovels at
the mines. The mining companies
had asked their men to report for
work, but they refused and when the
companies announced that they would
start the shovels with other help the
strikers became very threatening.
Sheriff Broad and Mayor johnson,
upon consultation, agreed that they
could not muster force enough to pro-
tect property and workmen and finally
decided to ask Gov. Rich for troops
with the result previously stated.
Thus il was that within 36 hours al
most 800 troops were at Camp Ish-
peming" ready for duty. The follow
ing are the companies which reported
FIRST: Co. ii, of lronwood, commanded
by Capt. Winslow, 62 men; Co. ID, of

+, of Houghton, Capt. Miller, 81 men;
Co. G, of Houghton, Capt Macarthur,
SO men. Total 3S7 men. Col. Lyons
is the officer in charge.
Promptly at Z o'clock the steam
shovcls were started at the Lake An
geline, Lake Superior and Salisbury
mines. The presence of the troops
seemed to have quieting effect upon
the strikers for although they as
sembled on the surrounding hills in
great numbers they did not venture
dangerously near the picket lines.
The women We're out In force and

Their conversation was of the most
inflammablc nature. The parade of
the strikers to Union park was very
largely attended by strikers from both
Ishpeming and Negaunee. President
Coad, of the miners union resigned
and John Roberts was chosen as his
successor.

Arolitor Murdorers May be Pardoned.

An attempt is being made to secure
the pardon of the alleged Molitor muir
dcrers who were sentenced from
Alpcna county last year to Jackson
prison for life. The prisoners are

Henry Jacobs, Carl Nogeler and VIM.

these men were convicted of killing
Albert MOlitor at Rogers City on the
night Of August 25, 1875, and it was
principally on the confession of Vim.
Repkc--who, after nearly 20 years,
says that his conscience trou bled him
that the convictions were secured.
Repke now makes affidavit that the
evidence he gave was false. He
further represents that he was induced
10 swear falsely upon the trial upon
the assurance that by doing SO he
would free himself. He further says
that at the time of the first confession
nc was intoxicated and afterward de-
sired TO withdraw his confession, but
was not allowed to do so.
In the case of Henry Jacobs, the de-
Tense attempted to prove an alibi on
the trial. 1t was shown that the wife
of the accused gave birth TO child on
August 81, 1875, two days after the
murder OF Molltor, ana that Tor several
days previous thereto Jacobs hao been
detained at home by his wife's illness.
Attorney-General Ellis was conducting
the prosecution and it is now alleged
that he contrOverted this testimony in
Jacobs defense by sharp practice.
During the closing hours of the trial

smith, cX-county clerk, makes affidavit
that there was an entry of the birth of
the child for both 1875 and 1876, but
the church records and the testimony
of the neighbors show that the latter
entry was erroneous. Nevertheless,
Ellis directed Smith TO make certified
copy of the latter entry and return
the record to Rogers City, thus prevent
ing tie defense from meeting this evil
