Enid Wave; While the Legislature

y pst scheme of an extremely selfish
nature TO work through said body, be-
ing nothing more than the non-repeai

awful shy In touching the popocrAt
Legislature; yea, verify, It smeared a
little taffy on the hor orable gent'e-
men composing that body by saying
that IL was passing some wholesome
laws. Afser the legislature knocked
Greer's scheme clear out Of the box,
the paper came out on the legislature
with maddened slush. Nothing the
Fourth legislature did was right
The Capitals prize harp is the sch Dol
text book law and It's argument and
accusation against the same is not
only wholly false, but ridiculous and
laughable II attempts TO make the
people believe that a gigantic steal
aud trust clutch has been thrust upon
the people that will c,st thousands OF
dollars, all untrue. There will be nc
serious change in the books, IN fact
the books are now and have been il
almost universal use throughout the
territory. Very few new books viii
be introduced. The act simply saves
the people the profit they have beer

HUNTING WITH A MIRROR.
Enect of Reflected Light Upon Birds
and Rabbits In the Woods.

aud Rabbits In the Woods.
A taxidermist at Northwood. N. Y,
has been making experiments as to the
effect OF light reflected in birds eyes.
A glass seven or eight inches In diam
eter has been found most serviceable.
The antics of blue jays are remarka-
BILE when the light strikes them as they
sit In the shadow of an evergreen tree.
They Jump to another branch and try
to look into the light. but they have
to turn away, as the light dazzles them.
Then they fly around the reflection but
after practice one is able to keep the
light always on them, and the birds
not infrequently come within the reach
of a mans hand.
A ruffed grouse gives a startled look
when the light strikes IT, Then up II
jumps, and away it goes. Hawks, too,
are usually startled or annoyed 80 that
they fly OF. Woodpeckers don't seem
70 mind IT at all.
Rabbits blink and stare at glass for
while, then they go around stump
and sit up again, as If waiting for
the light to play tag with them.-New

patch Of sand Just out Of the water,
but you ought to see the flocks OF sea
fowl that nestled on It! They had to
move out OF the way to give us room
to stay there and that was about all
they would do. Their nests were
everywhere, and there were eggs In
abundance. We ate about barrel OF
them every day during the twelve days
We were there. Some OF us got on in
n boat and went to San Juan, in Mica
ragua, where he got vessel to go
after those we left on the reef. That
vessel was commanded by William
