pc seen that this young woman is

PED the young woman. Morris. who

they were travelling in the south last
spring, learned of their wealth. and
that they lived in Minneapolis. On the
9th OF May Miss Rutherford disappear-
ed from her home, leaving a note saw
Ing that she was going to St. Paul and
would return the following day. Since
then a letter has been received from
Sher, evidently written under restraint
saying that she was happily married to
man she worshipped The police are
convinced that she was kidnapped Inv

are making every effort to find her,

years old and is highly accomplished.
Her father was Capt. George Ruther-

"a thlcket, from which there would i'm
med1ately issue the real cries Of
bird on which it had seized. The
butcher bird seems to entertain a par.
1 tlcular hatred to Gagged birds, dairting
toward them with great fury, and if
unable to reach them, flying about the
cage, In some instances causing the
death Of delicate birds from mere
fright. In a case that came under my
notice butcher bird noticed canary
hanging inside window and darted at
1t with such force that the pane was
shattered. The butcher must have
been severely shaken up, at least, but
it kept f1uttering about, endeavoring to
reach the Gagged bird, and only left
when driven away by the fnterposition
OF some Of the family. This occurred
in Connecticut, but the birds here in
their winter home exhibit the same
hatred. In our neighborhood pair of
birds were hung under cherry tree,
and on going to take them in the
owner found both birds lying on the
bottom of the cage headless, these
important members having been ruth
lessly torn off and ornamenting the
thorn of neighboring orange tree.
AS the cage was neither broken nor
bent, it was somewhat of a puzzle how
the outrage was committed, but later
the same bird was seen darting at an
other Gagged canary that hung just out
side "a window. The butcher rushed at
it, Selling it with one claw, and, by
beating the cage with it's wings, it
completely demoralized the inmate,
who finally, in it's struggles, flew near
the bold intruder, who quickly threw
out one of it's powerful claws and
grasped viciously at it's victim. IN
doubted1y it would have torn the
canary's head off in this way had it
not been disturbed. The butcher birds
are not at all particular as to their food,
1t varying from blue jays and gophers
to grasshoppers, even worms and diff
ferent insects being found impaled on

! WINGED l BUTCHERS.

BY MINNIE SLADE.

t The shrikes, or butcher birds, we'll
deserve their name, as they are quite
equal to the hawks and other predatory
birds in their courage and the cruelty
in which they seem to delight. They
have a wide geographical distribution.
The shrikes are powerful birds of at
tractive mien, presenting an appear
ance indicative of : courage. The
mandible of this bird is arched and
hooked, forming a powerful weapon
with which to tear and lacerate its
prey. The adults attain nearly the size
of a robin. 1t is however, the habits
of the bird that are most interesting.
and the term butcher is applied, per-
haps, from the fact that they impale
their victims. In California, where the
shrike is most common, the favorite
locality of this bird is found quite, a
museum, as they catch toads, mice.
birds and insects. And one has been
seen flying, laboriously carrying a blue
jay quite as large, if not larger, than
itself. AS rule, game thus captured
is taken to some favorite spot and i'm
paled. So strong is this habit that in
confinement the bird still takes ad-
vantage of any sharp object; thus a.
pointed stick, sharpened for the pur-
pose, being given a Gagged butcher
bird, all it's food, consisting of raw

Scavenger BuzZartfs In the Son+p,

Turkey buzzards are the garbage
collectors of Charleston, S. Co. says 4
travelling man, quoted in the Phi1adel-
phia Record. CHOW, il you know any,
thing of the nature of a turkey buz-z
card you must know that ordinarily it's
very shy sort Of creature, and gener-
ally avoids civilization, particularly as
represented in the large cities. These
birds are tame, however, and they
strut about the heels OF the people in
the markets picking mp bits of refuse
meat and vegetables. The buzzard has
"a voracious appetite, and there always
seems to be room inside of him far
choice bit Of tainted beef or decayed
cabbage. There is a SIS fine for anv
man molesting one OF these birds 81
understand that Charleston is the onlv
city in the country that has this
unique system Of garbage colIectin .
(What is seen in Charleston can also
be witnessed all over the cotton south,
of projecting turkey buzzards as scay-
sengers and remoVers Of dead animals
and all carrion. Their sense of SIGHT
and smell in finding this sort Of food
is something wonderful.
