their methods, or avoid mistakes. In

rying out the edict OF the Bellaire mass
meeting OF Belmont county miners that
the ohio-slde peddl!ng banks should

mlttess, who visited the seyral mines.
Without exception the men are either
out already, or have promised to quit
work to-day.
More coal is being shipped west and
north over the Baltimore g. Ohio and
two other local coal carrying roads,

Wheeling and West Virginia will be
numerously represented at the annual
reunion Of the Society of the Army OF
West Virginia at Columbus next month.
The representation will be larger than
usual because some OF the West Vir-
gina Union resimental organizations
will hola their encampments In connec-
ton with the reunion OF the Army.
The lntellisencer takes this opportu-
nifty OF suggesting the adyisabllity OF
Wheeling veterans, the chamber OF
commerce and other organizations max
ing an active effort 10 bring the next
reunion-that OF lssS-of the Army OF
West Virginia TO this city, The officers
OF the society are In favor OF the re-
union being held In the larger cities OF
the several states from which the Army
was principally recruited, for the rea-
son that the railroad advantages are
always better and the rates offered
lower than when the reunion Is held in
small towns reached only by one or two
railroads. For these reasons the seeC-
ton OF Wheeling would be advanta-
geous, for this city is reached by nine
railroads as well as by several steam
boat lines
Veterans the blue and business men.
with whom the Intelllgencer man con-
suited yesterday, agreed that a we'll d.
rected effort would probably result in
securing the next reunion for Wheeling.
The time is short, but II the scheme
meets with general favor among the
merchants and general public meet
ing could be held and a citizens COM
mlttee appointed 10 so TO Columbus for
the purpose Of booming Wheeling for
the reunion next year,

Forest and Stream; Thomas Jones
pushes quietly into the edge of the nest
Ing ground. ties his boat firmly within
easy range Of the tall sRag he saw the
day before, and takes out his rile.
There Is an egret OF the tall snag. TAX
ing q steady aim, he fires. and the bird
whlrls down dead. One or two other
birds start on their perches In the
same tree, but settle back. One by one
they, too, whirl lout and lie in a white
tangled at the foot OF the tree. An
egret raises herself up above the rim
OF the nest on which she sits, and the
tiny bullet pierces her. She whlrls
down, lying white and motionless. The
little ones cape and cry. but nc food
comes. The father was killed on the
tree neal by. One by one out OF the
nests, off the limbs OF the trees, here,
there. anywhere-for the birds are all
about, and so stupid with the breeding
fever that they will not leave-the slen-
der white birds meet their doom. That
tall snag has yielded twenty victims.
Jones has not moved from his boat He
has over two hundred birds down, He
a tell by his cartridge boxes, for he
rarely misses a shot, 1t is easy shoot
ing. After noon he gathers UP his spells.
A cut OF the knife and the clump of
plumes Is Off. Two hundred carcasses
OF egrets are left lying, That many
more tomorrow. Many more than that
the next day. for by that time the wall
ing Of the dying young OF the first
days victims will have ceased.
From then on, day bV day, increasing
In three fold ratio, the harvest OF death
goes on steadily, pltilessly, on the SOW
ing grounds of life, out in the silent
wilderness where the birds have tried
to hide their homes. In less than a
month Il is over. The long white lines
no longer cross the country going to
and from the feeding grounds. The
white forms no LONGER appear on the
naked trees. Doubiy naked the forest
stands in silent desolation. Sodden and
discolored, the once white forms below
the trees are sinking into the slime.
From beneath the trees and from the
nests up in the trees. a great stencil
goes up. Not q bird, young or old. ls

death came, bound by the great In

Misplaced couri..y.

From the Chicago Record; It was on
the fourth floor of a department store.
The elevator door opened, and three
statesmen entered, each holding In affec.
tionate clasp a beautifully attired DUN.
my-a shapely thing made OF wire, and
attired in the Sweetest" gowns and
the fiuffiest laces Of the establish
ment.
The statesmen steadled their dummy
companions. The elevator stopped al
the third floor.
A young man, whose gaze was mod.
estly directed toward the floor, stepped
aboard and removed his hat. Even In q
department store It Is emlnently proper
to remove the hat when riding In an
elevator with women. So the young
man removed his hat and continued Il
look downward, seeing only the skirts
of his fair fellow-passengers. for It is
counted exceedingly rude for \ man Ia
stare az q woman In an elevator.
The statesmen began to smoker. This
embarrassed the young man. for he
had no reason to believe that they were
laughing at him, He biushed and shift
ed uneasily, but did not look up.
Then n salesman laughed aloud.
The young man lifted his head In or
der to reprove the vulgar person with a
look, and then he said, "Weii, IN be
switched"
The women had no heads!
The statesmen exploded. and the
young man put his hat back on his
head,
