Buffalo, Feb. 5.-Ballington Booth,
commander-in-chief of the Volunteers
of America, said at public meeting
yesterday: Il do not believe the sun
in Heaven ever shone on more just
war than that of the United States
against Spain. But could 1t be said
that the sun ever shone on a more
unjust war than the one between
Great Britain and the Transvaal? I'm

THE OSPREY'S NEST.
rFrom Forest and stream.1

[F'rom Forest and Stream.1
The genius displayed by fshhawks in
nest building time is often wonderful
leading persons to suspect that the me-
chanica1 calculations of the bird are equal
to those of the average human being.
The hawks frequent forests and groves
fringing the waters of Narragansett Bay
to obtain material for building new nests
and repairing old ones. Rotten limbs of
trees high over ones head are heard snap
ping and cracking.
This swapping of sEcks is caused by
fishhawks. Mechanically they examine
and break off the limbs by sheer force,
of birds A hawk flying about wheels
short on its wings, having selected de-
tree Something after the fashion of
tent pegging the hawk charges past and
just above the bough. Just as he is pass
ing the limb, with great dexter1ty he
hooks his claws upon it, and without stop
ping in his flight, and with wings Tapping
furiously enough, bang goes the report
of the breaking of the rotten limb, and
triumphanty the feathered wonder car
ries to the nest the stick, sometimes four
inches In diameter and four and one-ha4f
break off the limbs at the first attempt.
they have been seen to try the operation
before being successful In case the stick
is not broken off the first time, they do
not loose their hold, but increasingly flap
their broad wings in the air, exhauSt1ng
every measure toward accomplishing their
purpose.
Ordinarily their bodies are not so heavy
as to cause one to suspect that they could
brea& off Nch stout pieces of boughs, but
the momentum carried in their flight as
they hook on to the limb without stop
ping almost invariably causes their eff
forts to be crowned with success. The
loud swapping noise of the breaking of
tree branches by the hawks would lead
a person not accustomed to their habits
to suppose that an elephant was running
amuck through the forest.
OF about four feet in width and of a
compact structure the nests can with
stand the fury of severe storms. The
fabric is SO woven and bound criSscrOSs

wind felled the tree or pole and threw

He lived just over the boundary Nice

HE had bought a new pair OF boots

they got to the house with the deceased
corpse and swapped. Other feller didn't
like it and said But the critter all
lowed that he had had some talk with
the corpse about swappin a few days
before he died. Corpse had allowed that
the new boots hurt his corns and said
that pair that had been broken in
couldn't bear to think of deceased bein'
buried in a. pair of boots that hurt his
feet. He said that he should wake up in
the night, suttin, and think about the
Wal course there was somethin' in
what he said, but, as there warn't no way
of gettin' at the deceased's side of the
matter, concluded that 1 wouldn't let
that trade stand. There's good many
things that go in this camp all right. but
