PRINCETON
Marks Report

1t is surprising to many that football
players and other athletes regard a
sprain or bruise of so little conse-
quence. One reason of this is, they
know how to treat such injuries so as
to recover from them in few days,
while others would be laid up for two
or three weeks, if not longer. Writ
ing from Central State Normal School,
Lock Haven, Pa, Mr.. w. Fl. Losch,
captain of the base ball club and
gymnasium says: II take pleasure in
stating, that mem bers of our base ball
club and myself have used Chamber
lains Pain Balm with most excellent
results. | unhesitatingly recommend
it as the best remedy for sprains,
swellings, cuts and bruises, of any that

A SMOOTH FORGERY.
Landlord NeWbert Donated Forty
Dollars to a Slippery Grim
inal on a Bogus Check.
The 'sPenman'' Claimed to Be III.
M. DeLaittre, Vice President
Of BOyey-DeLaittre Co.

September Oath a dapper young man
came into town on the afternoon train
and registered at the Commercial
hotel as II. NJ. DeLaittre. He pre-
sented a card of the Bovey-DeLaittre
Lumber company and asked for his
mail. A day or two before letter had
arrived enclosed in an envelope bear
ing the firms return request and Land
lord Newbert suspected nothing wrong
when an expense check was taken from
the cover. 1t was after banking hours
so the newly arrived guest asked Mr..
Newbert where he could get the paper
converted into cash. The accomodat-
ing landlord said he could cash it for
him and the exchange followed. Dur
ing the evening be received telegram
.pu1'porting to be from the firm telling
him of the progress of business and a
report of the increasing receipts of or
ders. The fellow claimed he had come
to transact some business with Soule
& Co., but the firm was out of town.
He left the next morning stating that
he would probably return with the
boys when they came home from their
visit to Elk River to attend the Morris
rally. He did not return, however.
but Henry wishes he would.
The check was cashed at the Bank of
Princeton and sent to Minneapolis for
collection. In a day or two it was re-
turned marked ssno funds'' with a So
protest fee added. The check was on
the Bank of Commerce, payable to Fl.
NJ. DeLaittre and endorsed Harold
NJ. DeLaittre. The company was i'm
mediately written and replied as fol-
lows:
Bank of Princeto Princeton, MINI.
Your favor of the first
atihand. Our reasons for not paying
that $40 check on the Bank of Com
merce are,
1st--The check is a bold forgery.
2nd-We never had an account at
the Bank of Commerce. 58;
3rd-We know of no person of the
name of Harold NJ. DeLaittre. If such
a man claimed TO be in our employ as
salesman he is a first class fraud.
Howard, not Harold NJ. DeLaittre is
the vice president of our corporation
and the signature to this communica-
ton is the signature of our treasurer.

nately happened to accompany the cul-
prit to Minneapolis, it is expected he
will be run to earth.
In the meantime Landlord Newbert
refuses to cash even his own check out
side of banking hours.

than herself though the wood thrush,
oatbird, oriole and others of her own
size are victims of this dishoaorable
practice The speaker gave it as her
opinion that the small bird on whom
this trick ia played brings up the inter
loper as earthly as if it were her own,
not because she is deceived in the emat-
ter, but because of the wellknown ton
derness Of nearly all birds to the young
evan Of species not their own.
The bobolink,
CHARMER OF NEW ENGLAND
meadows, was introduced as one of
the most attractive Of the black
bird family, with his knowing ways, and
his quaint, bewitohing song, notwith
standing his depIe dations in the rice
fields of the South after he has donned
his work-a-day garb. The nest is on the
ground, but SO inconspicuous, because
of the protective coloring of the eggs and
ST tting bird that it is almost impossible
to find it, and an amusing anecdote was
told of John Burroughs finding and al
most instantly losing nest, which was
all the time directly under his eyes.
The two circles Of our latitude, the
black and chestnut orchard oriole, and
the black and gold Baltimore, with his
brown and yellow mate by his side
made gorgeous show among the sombre
clad blaokbirds exhibited by Mrs. Mil
Ter. The beautiful nests of both were
spoken of; the mother devotion of the
Baltimore, which would stay In the nest
with her nestlings while the branch it
was on was sawed off and carried away

of the nest, and the exceeding useful ness
Of the birds in clearing the fruit trees OF

Canker worms and tent cnterpillars were
declared to be favorite food of the Balti

charge of eating honey bees by testimony

eats, not the honey gatherers.
IN THE ORIOLE FAMILY
be females sing not so loud but as sweet
ty as their mates.
l The meadow lark with his somewhat
more modestly clad spouse by his side,
was next introduced as an interesting
though shy bird, and charming singer,
and lovers Of bird song were advised to
make journey to the Rocky Mountains
to hear the wonderful song of the West
ern representative of the family.
Last to be spoken of Was the common
cIow, although he is not classed with the
black birds. Much reliable evidence was
offered to show that this bird Is not SO
black as he is painted, that on the whole
he is useful and valuable to til Q farm ers
and many stories were told of his intel
ligence, his cleyerness in avoiding dan
gers, his unselfshness and kindness to his
fellows. and his oomioal ways as

SOCIAL BLAcKBiRDs.
Interesting Tribes of Feathered
Neishbors.

Mrs. Olive Thorne Miller is continuing
at City Hall her elightful talks on the
common birds Of the country. Thurs
day she spoke of the social tribes of the
blaokbirds, which includes the two orr
oles, the bobolink, the meadow lark and
others.
Mrs. Miller began with an account of
the droil manners and strange notes of
q party OF purple graokles or common
blaokbirds, as noticed while they were
breakfRsting on some shelled corn which
ne provided for their use. She spoke of
their treatment of the young, and refuted
some of the charges against them by the
testimony of trustworthy ornithologists,
among whom were Mr. Warren, State
Ornithologist of Pennsylvania, and Prof
Beal, OF the Bureau of Agriculture at
Washington. She admitted their fond
ness for sprouting corn, but pointed out
the ease with which it could be protected
from them by being made offensive to
their taste by q simple soaking in tar
water.
THE REDWING BLACKBIRD,
she said, is another of the social birds,
noisy, fussy in manner and sweet sing
er, in spite of the fact that the anatoin-
lists say that he has no organs for sing
ing. The nest is picturesque hanging
structure, built in the reeds or small
bushes in marshy places. This bird. too,
is accused of eating corn, but if credited
with the millions of cutworms and other
destructive insects devoured, he would
be seen to be far more useful than hurt
full to us. But as some one says, "the
harm done we can see, while the benefit
we do not ses' Several stories were told
Of the harm to crops resulting from thu
destruction of blsokbirds.
The black sheep of the family, said
Mrs. Miller, is the COW blackbird, more
commonly called the cowbird, which has
the very bad habit Of putting her off
spring out to nurse in other words, de-
posting eggs in the nests of her neigh
boFs and leaving to them the labor Of
Matching and rearing tho young. She
usually selects the nests of birds smaller
