A MYSTERY.
Why Do Women Wear Dead Birds as
Ornamental

From Life
Why do women wear dead birds as orna-
ments? There is a general impression that
the custom is due to ignorance, thought
lessness or vanity, but moments reflec-
tlon will show that this is a very super
hcial explanation. Ignorance cannot be the
cause. for the subjec. has been so fully ex-
plotted that II is an insult to the intelli-
gence OF any woman who knows how to
read to suppose that she Is not fully aware
OF the cost in suffering and bird life of her
so-called ornaments. Nor can it be due 20
vanity or deliberate cruelty, since many of
the offenders stand high in their local hu-
name societies.
Evidently there must be some deeper rea-
son which. causes teHher-hearted women to
encourage cruelty. and makes women of
taste and refinement willing to deck them
selves like savases with the trophies of
their unoffe!iding'' Victims. Perhaps the Wo-
men of our county cherish a profound be-
lief that life is not gworth living. and SO,
as an act of friendship wish to help out
of it whatever they particularly like and
admire; though Why. in that case. they
should have ffxet5Gn 5I birds. rather than ON
such generally liked and easily attainable
pets as kittens and puppies. is not appar-
ent. Possibly, however, these will have
their turn later. SOr perhaps the theoso-
phic theory Of reaAcarnation Is more widely
dlHused than has been supposed, and wo-
men, being especially fond Of birds. wish
to secure for them & favorable Karma in
their next life. # isse in this case, ques-
Of much interest whether the involuntary
altruism of, for instance, brood of young
herons starved to death that some fair
lady's hat may be trimmed with aigrets
will really secure them a fortunate rein
carnation. 1t would be a thousand pities
If our matrons and maids are sacrificing
their taste and feelings, to say nothing of
the birds, to no purpose. Or. again. 1t may
be that such adornments are worn on the
principle that led the monks Of old to wear
haircloth and put peas in their shoes. Pos
sibly their wearers feel that these orna-
ments are 50 tasteless, and so suggestive of
pain and suffering. that to wear them is at
once penance atoning for many sins, and
a means Of moral elevation Of such value
that 1t Is worth the cost Of silent groves

Big Mountain Of Old Tin Cans.

From the Kansas City Star.
The pile of old tin cans in junk yard on
South Grand avenue will probably be re-
moved this week. 1t is getting too large.
For several months it has interested pass
ers-by. many of whom of a calculating
mind have wondered helplessy how many
cans there are in the pile. The pile Is
about 800 feet In circumference and about
forty-five feet high, and from top to bot
tom and center to circumference is a solid
mass of old vegetable. meat and fruit cans
Ii is held together by heavy iron pipes
driven into the ground all around it, which
are held in place by a steel elevator cable
Gables also pass across its diameter and
hold t1e cans from forcing the pipes out
The cans are held in by sheets of corrugat-
ed iron laid inside the pipes.
One wonders what the cans are good for
and that they have any value whatever
They are used at the smelter in Argentine
as flux for the ores, and the solder in
them is worth the gathering of them from
an economic point of view.
Another mountain of tin cans is in pro-
cess of building. and soon il will be IS
large as the that will hc loaded into
cars this week and taken to the smelter

What in the world are you doing with

"Oh, I'm just going shopping
Shopping? 1 should think a nasty pup

spends so much money on his kennels that

JONES BLAMES BRYAN.
The Democratic Chairman Has q
Griesnace Against the Candidate.


Special Dispatch to the PhIladephia Press
CHICAGO, November 6-Chairman Jones
gathered together his assortment of wreck
ed hopes ami boomerang n,anifestos today
ard left town. There was much to suggest
the proverbial Arab in his manner OF going
and IT contracted sharply with the ostenta-
ton and clamorous confidence which mark
ec his arrival here. He came with the
idea that ne was going to show the Ameri-
can people how a great and winning cam
iaign should be run, and he left here a
confirmed pessimist, disgruntled and sour
at everything and everybody.
1t 10 AN open secret. too. that he does not
feel as kindly toward MIR. Bryan as might
be inferred from his public expression con-
cerning him. The fact lis he has a distinct
grievance against him. and has said plainly
TO some OF his friends during the past two
or three days that Mr.. Bryan. in his opin-
len. owed his defeat largely to the obstinate
y. consistency with which he disregarded his
tJonesD advice and wasted his time cam
paigning in the east. where there never
was any chance of his accomplishing any
thing.
1t is well known that this was the occa-
sion of sharp clash between Mr. Bryan
ard Jones when the former announced his
intention of again visiting New York after
his disastrous Madison Square speech
Jones told him that il was a mere waste of
time, as the east was hopelessly against
him. and that he had better give his at
ention to the middle western states, which
was the real battle ground.
Mr. Bryan, however had such confidence
IN his persua sive oratory that he declared
tfat he felt confident Of Eeing able to carry
New York certainly, and probably some OF
the others. AS for the middle western
states, he declared that they were already
assured TO him. and he pooh-poohed Jones'
suggestion about giving all his time TO
them.
Once again did Chairman Jones try to in
duce MIR. Bryan to listen to him in this
matter, but the latter ignored his sugges-
uons and continued TO follow the dictates
OF his own will.
Chairman Jones thought MIR. Bryan was
making a mistake then. and ne knows il
now, and for the defeat. which he feels is
his political management he holds Mr..
Bryan responsible
He is unquestionably a brilliant man.
and a born leader" Chairman Jones said,
but he is not too great or too old not to
be willing to accept advice from others
older than he. and whose political judgment
is quite good his. If he heads the
ticket again | believe he VIII pay a little
more attention to the advice of his national
committeeman From what he did here in
Chicago l have not particle of doubt that
had he not gone skylarkiug through the
east but devoted instead his time to Mich
igan. Indiana, Illinois. Ohio, Minnesota and
others Of the states where We knew there
was a strong and growing silver sentiment,
he would have won the election"
Secretary Walsh also left this evening
and but for McConville, who returned to-
day to settle up the affairs OF the speakers
bureau, the headquarters are deserted.
