HUNTING BIRDS WITH CAMBRIA

Of the many delightful birds have had the good fortune to know, the wOrIn-eating warbler family have afforded me the greatest pleasure; for they become absolutely fearless of the camera, and they place degree of trust in one that was as unusual as it was delightful Being anxious to se- cure photographs of the young, l paid frequent visits to the nest, and what q wonderfully concealed nest it was, tucked away in small depression and hidden by the roots of an oak sap ling. It would forever have remained undiscovered by me had 1 not by lucky chance, observed one of the parent birds visiting it. Only at first did the owners object to my intruding, and by various methods did they try to coax me away from their home. First one, and then the other, would feign broken wings, and half rolling
 half Scrambling, they would make their way down the steep hillside, in the hope of turing me away. Then
 finding that 1 was not to be taken in even by such an artiful device, they endeavored to accomplish their object by ScOlding at me. In less than two hours they quieted down and simply looked on in silence. The next time I visited the nest they made no objec- ton, and l imagined they recognized me, and realized that 1 meant no harm, either to themselves or to their young, for these had matched since my last visit Day by day I came to watch the little fellows, and they grew rapidly, as all young birds do. Finally they were ready to make their first venture into the great world that, should no accident befall them, was to be their feeding ground for many years to come. As I looked into the nest the family of fedglings scrambled out. as though they had been scatter ed by some invisible hand, so nearly simultaneous was their action. and in less time than it takes to tell it, each little mite of down and rust-colored feathers was hidden among the dead, cracking leaves with which the ground was Strewn. Though I had tried my best to watch where each bird concealed itself. it was some time before l collected them all preparatory to photographing them. Of course the parents were greatly evcited-birds always are when their young first leave the nest-and when they saw the entire brood captured " one whom they had considered a friend they seemed to regret having placed so much confidence in me. But only for a very short time did their doubts continue. AS soon as I placed the youngsters on q suitable perch they both ceased to utter that lisping note of anxious proteStation and to show that they no longer feared me they hopped about on the camera while I was arranging it.-World's Work.

democratic senators and representa- tives who have visited the capitol since the election have not been dis posed to talk for publication on the result, not because they are discour- aged or that they consider the future of the democratic party in either doubt or danger, but on the general principle that it is always good policy for the defeated party to let the other fellows do the talking for awhile, just as they will have to do the legislating and ad- ministering of the country for awhile For the same reason they think the talk about recognizing the democratic party, which has been indulged in to limited extent since the election. premature at this time. The best DoIi- cy for the democrats to adopt for q while is to keep careful watch on the republicans, show up every blum der they make, and do whole lot of thinking. It will be two years before there is another congressional election. and until then the democrats will have no opportunity to get control of any branch of the national government
 The gentlemen who are talking about holding conventions, etc, for re- organization of the party at this time, are doubtless perfectly honest and wholly unselfish in their wishes for the future welfare of the party, but if they persist they will surely be sus- pected by many of being more anxious to get the party reins in their hands than of really helping the party. Party congratulations, so far as leaders and principles are concerned, are things which generally take care of them selves, as has been demonstrated more than once in the history of the demo- cratic party, and doubtless will be again. Party upheavals which are genuine, usually start from the bottom the rank and file of any party know how to change leaders when they con slider it desirable or necessary to do so.

Last evenings New Haven Leader editorially gives Colonel BuIpee the following boom for cabinet position: If Governor Mclean searches this state from boundary to boundary he will have difficulty in finding an other man so well qualified in all re spects for the adjutant generalship as Colonel Burpee of Waterbury. The colonel is the logical candidate and been mentioned. He knows the milli- tary needs of the state and has just the right kind of executive ability to successfully accomplish the work that must be undertaken

Ex-Governor Bulkeley feels so elated over the Mclean victory that the first chance he got he stopped over as usual. Up ill Simsbury the other evening, if he is correctly reported, he used the following: We never have anything that is disreputable ill Con necticut, only when q good fellow like George Mclean is running for gov ernor, then every disreputable man ill Connecticut is against him."

Congressman Sperry spent S1,550 to get reelected to his old seat from the second congressional district. Wonder if he figured in the expenses ~of his trips to Waterbury. If he did not, then it is safe to say the congress- mans election cost him at least one years salary. Those New Haven can didates must have been dead easy for the political agents.

Secretary Root has gone to Cuba and for two reasons his going has caused much gossip in Washington, where it is believed to be connected with matters of importance relating to the future of Cuba. The first of these reasons is that the Cuban con- stitutional convention is now in ses- sion in Havana, and the second is that this is considered the unhealthy sea son in Cuba. MT Roots health has not been robust since he had that operation performed on him month or two ago, and he would hardly have chosen this season for his visit to Cuba, unless his going was important

out for the express purpose of hearing it,

paper given out and an atternpt was
made to discover the identity of the

ments were served. New surprises then

BISCUITS.

The word Biscuit as applied
to bakers products has
wide meaning. Not only does
it include all the varieties of
Crackers but scores of Cakes
that are almost CONNECTIONS.
No outing lunch is complete
without them. There's this
fact to be remembered, how
ever, the fresher the Biscuit
the better. Get them of a
dealer with a large trade who
turns his stock rapidly. Get
them here and the Biscuit
will be all that could be de-
sired.
