This is wonderfully hard time for

This is wonderfully hard time for
birds and wild animals. For over a
week the ground has been covered
with snow, and there is little or no
Op port unity for them to get food Of
any kind. Squirrels hide nuts through
out the woods, but with snow as deep
as now they have trouble in getting 10
them. We learn that dead birds such
as robbins, sparl ows, blackbirds, larks
and quail, can now be found any time.
Quail suffer intensely in such weather.
Foxes can cent them and jump on
them at their roosting places on the
ground. Hawks have them practical
~ at their mercy. There is no food
for them except where stock is being
FED, and the mountain birds must
starve in great numbers Farmers
should throw wheat and corn to the
cartridges on their farms if they wish
them to live through this terrible spell
of weather. Wild turkeys aud pleas
ants have no chance how and they
cannot live over eight Or ten days
without food. Deer eat laurel. or ivy, |
as we usually Call it, aud thus sustain
life. Later in.the spring turkeys and |
pheasants live on buds, but they have
not begun to eat these yet, as they do |
not eat them till the warm weather
causes them to swell. This il like
winter, and msny an old
Nokomis is rocking whilst she sees
hose about her waste away with sick
less and hunger.

Senator Elkins is a financier He
wants the appropriations heavy. He
says if the government appropriates
large sums for rivers ana harbors and
such purposes, it will distribute mon
ey throughout the country and make
times easy. This character of finan-
ciering takes money from those who
should not be robbed and gives it to
thousands who do not earn it, and the
country grows rich just as the boy did
who took his money out of one pocket
and put it in the other This is states
manship with vengeance,

The Richmond Times, which did all
it could, let that be much or little, to
bring the present administrator into
power because it thought a few of its
preci 1us dollars might be reduced in
value, is suffering in mind aud body
over the conduct Of the agents of its
choice. At first it was all love and
sunshine and smiles, but the honey
moon is over, and this is how it talks:
1.-The Filipinos were moved down
like grass. The American loss was
slight.''
Such is the report that we have from
the recent fight around Manila. The
Americans are giving the Fiiipinos a
dose of bossism such as the Spaniards
We're never able to give them. We
started this war in the name of human
ity, to remove the Spanish heel from
the neck OF the Cuban patriots and to
relieve distress. We did not expect at
the time to extend that policy as far as
the Philippines, but our humanity is
not limited TO one island nor to one
continent. It is as broad as the earth,
according to the doctrine Of the i'm
perialists, and having undertaken to
establish peace and order and good
American government in the Philip
pines under humane policy, We propose
to carry it out if in so doing we must
shoot down every male and female
soldier in the land who dare raise his
Or her hand against US.
Wear better than the Spaniards.
We can shoot harder and we can kill
more men i'll a given time. We are
fairly moving down the Fiipinos like
grass and sacrificing them upon the
altar of our humanity. Let the good
work go on. What were million
lives or ten million lives to q policy
like ours ?

a Faithful old clock.

One Of the most interesting clocks
in the War Department is that in tie
map o OF the office OF Chief Of
Engineers. 1t has 4 history OF three
quarters OF n century. 1t Ii a hand
some old clock Of the old hall pattern
md stands in it's frame nearly eight
feet high and strikes the hours and
halves rs loudly, cheerily and clearly
to day ms it did fifty years ago. Be-
sides striking the time it has a calen.
der which Is always correct. The
clock was made by the firm OF Bur-
nett Rigdom in Georgetown. for
the Bank Of Columbia, u hich as old
residents OF Georgetown know, was
famous one in it's day. Beng a ma
tional bank. it fell under the ban of
General Jackson over sixty years ago,
when he succeeded In having the
United States banks abolished by
law. The banks. however, con-
tinued business for some years after
ward. Tho clock stood in the nam
room OF the bank, and had a great
reputation for accuracy long before it
got into the possession OF the War
Department. After the bank closed
its doors Tie clock was taken to the
rooms in the upper part OF the bald.
ing which were occupied by the to-
biographical corps of engineers Of the
army. From there the clock was re.
moved to WInder's builling, where 1t
struck the hours for nearly Il third OF
u century, and was then after tue
erection OF the War. State and Navy
building given its present, and, it is
very likely, it's permanent home.
The indications are TINT it will live
