BIRDS OF WISCONSIN,,
Great Variety Of Feathored Beauties
Protected by the State.

Long ago the people of Wisconsin
realized the value of birds, and now
the laws Of the state prohibit all save
a few which do great injury. 1t is
doubtful if tourist can find in any
state of the union a greater variety
than can be found in the badger state.
Indeed Wisconsin is the ideal home of
the feathered race 1t has vast forests
still unharmed by the lumberman's
AK Small lakes in hundreds are scat
tered throughout its territory, their
shores fringed with trees and the riv-
ers are shaded by bending willows. All
this makes up a home such as birds
love. Theodore NJ Townsend writes to
Recreation as follows on the subject:
In the winter the chic-a-dee and the
saucy jay remain to cheer us. st. VAL
entine's day arrives. snd with it comes
the horned lark. He never yet has
failed us, and we learn to look for his
coming. Later we awake on a sunny
morning to hear the familiar call of
the robins Then follows the blue
bird, and May brings the Baltimore
oriole. He has returned to his old

A Strange
Romance


Chicago Cor. St Louis Republic:
Uanitai LIE Clerque, Chicago girl, ,liv-
ing at Fifty-fitth street and Cottage
Grove avenue, has life story beside
which the plot Of q Balzac novel 10
uninterestirg.
Uanitats own brother never knew
OF the GIRLS existence. She WAS
adopted cut OF an orphan asylum when
three months old and carried to India
by wealthy foster parents who idolized
her. She was educated in two Of the
most fashionable schools in the coun-
try. after living sixteen years in
ln6la. She fell in love with her twin
beother and would have married him
but for the chance discovery Of her
real mother, and Of the relationship
between herself and her brother. She
Is now engaged to marry her foster
brother. A few weeks ago Mrs. May
Wright Sewall of Indianapolis, who
goes to the Paris fair as commissioner
from that state, offered Miss lie
Clerque position as private secre-
tary. Miss LIE Clerque planned to go,
but her hance opposed the proposition
on the ground Of fear that the mys-
terious young woman is likely to dis
appear altogether.
The story Of Uanitai LIE Clerque be-
gins twenty-five years ago, for that
was when she was born in Rochester,
N. Y. A short time before her birth
her mother and father had separated.
Mrs. LIE Clerque left her husband In
New York City, and went to live with
her relatives in Rochester. UanitAi
was one of the twins. Her brother
was splendid healthy baby. Uanitsa
was \ puny child, and not much in
clined to fight for her delicate Life.
When her mother began to recovsr
from her long and almost fatal illness
she asked at once for her child.
Here he is." said her sister, bring
ing in the little boy. The relatives
meantime had decided that in case
the mother did not recover two or
phan children would be rather se-

she did live, they reasoned, one child
was burden enough for the mother.
without the extra tax Of sickly little
girl. SO, while the mother was uncon-
scious, they took the girl and placed
her in the New York Orphans Home.
Her mother was not told of her ex-
istence. BY strange oversight Of
the relatives, who were SO anxious to
conceal the fact of her birth, the child
was entered at the orphan asylum un-
der her own name. But for this her
identity would never have been dis
covered.

Brother.

Three months after Uanitai was
placed in the asylum Mr.. and Mrs.
N haywood came in search of child
to rdopt. They had three sons and the
dream OF their lives was a little
daughter. Uanitai suited them ex-
actly. They took the child, adopted
her by process of law and insisted that
all evidence Of her name and history
be destroyed. Immediately after
adopting the child they sailed for In
dia The haywood family remained
in India sixteen years. They gave
their little girl her strange and musi-
cal Indian name, and the child be-
lieved that she was theirs by birth.
When the worlds fair year arrived
the haywood family decided to return
to America. Then they came to Chi
caso and stayed during tho season OF
The fair, afterward going to New York
to live at the Metropolitan hotel
Uanitai was placed in Miss Phelps
school in New York and graduated
there after couple Of years. She
then came to indianapolis to Mrs. May

there the girl went to visit relatives
OF her foster parents at Jacksonville,
Ill.
In Jacksonville she met a handsome
young fellow, Willie LIE Clerque. He
was there with his father, fine-look-
ing, middle-aged man of soldierly
bearing. The girl and Willie LIE
Clerque fell in love with each other
and when she went back to New York
they began a correspondence.

haywood, in a frightened voice when
the girl told her of it, and all the fam

man and woman were twins. Uanitai

who was divorced from their father,
was living in Chicago. married to John
Smith. She came here. and the
mother, who had never known that
she had borne daughter, recognized
at once the young woman as her child.
The girl had documentary evidence
with her. Uanitai's foster parents
were reconciled in measure to the
girls reunion with her mother, for
they expect her back soon as the wife
of Fred, her foster brother, young
business man in New York City. Will

office has received the following dispatch
from Lord Roberts:
"Paardeberg. Ii o'clock Tuesday morn
ing.-From information furnished daily
to me by the intelligence department, It
became apparent that Gen. Cronje's force
was becoming more depressed and that
the discomfort Of the troops and the dis
cord among the leaders were rapidly In
creasing. This feeling was doubtless ao-
centuated by the disappointment caused
when the Boer reinforcements which tried
to relieve Gen. Cronje were defeated by
our troops on Feb. 3d. resolved there
fore to bring pressure to bear upon the
enemy. Each night the trenches were
pushed forward toward the enemy's
laager so as to gradually contract his
position. and at the same time lombard
ed it heavily with artillery, which was
yesterday materially aided by the arrival
of four six-inch howitzers,- which I had
ordered up from De Aar. In carrying out
these measures, captive balloon gave
great assistance by keeping us informed
of the disposition and movements OF the
enemy. At a. m. today most dashing
advance was made by the Canadian regi-
ment and some engineers, supported by
the First Gordon Highlanders, and Second
Shropshires, resulting in our gaining
