SENTINEL OF THE BIRDS.
The Blue Heron Implicitly Trusted
When on Guard.


One OF natures sharDest sertinels is
the blue heron. Not only does he stand
guard for himself and immediate rela-
tives, but he is unwittingly a sentry for
other birds. Ducks and geese use him,
and | have often wondered why sports
men. particularly duck and geese hunt
erS. do not employ decoy resembling
a heron, or crane, as he is often er-
roneuusl; called. D.. can assure the read
ers OF Forest and Stream that the com
mon wooden or canvas decoy Is not TO
be compared with neatly mounted blue
heron as a lure for the feathered SOo-
il>44-.-.--
Not far from where ! boarded one au-
tumn was a reedy, muddy lake, a perfect
paradise for water fowl Where the wood
road bordered on the lake was a small
brook that often afforded good bag OF
game. would reach the brook some
mornings perfectly certain that no one
had preceded me, yet would not hear
solitary quack. l would also notice lhat
there would not be heron on guard At
other times the reeds would be alive, ana
i could not ger. Snot, Tor the Diue
heron sentry would give the alarm,
spread his broad wings in his slow,
clumsy fashion, and ducks, geese, and all
would follow him out of reach. Repeated
diSappuintments of this kind showed me
that Willingly or not the ducks were
making good use of the long legs and
keen eyes of the heron. He was able to
see over the rushes while their vision was
completely cut of.
When he was inclined to visit the brook
10 get frog or fish for breakfast, they
gathered round him, feeling perfectly Sc
cure so long as he was throwing his
searchlight glances over the reeds and
into the bushes When his heronship
took occasion to visit other scenes not
living paddle would disturb the placid
eddy at the mouth of the brook.
j watched the situation carefully and
found the heron one morning entirely
alone. i sat down where ] could get
good view without being seen, and await
ed developments. A flock Of ducks came
winging their way down the lake, casting
glances on all sides. if uncertain where
to go. They were swinging their long line
for a sandy spit away down at the south
west corner of the lake when the heron
saw them and uttered one of his lonely
yet complacent calls Immediately the
ducks swerved and circled into the cane
where the heron was on guard and set
lied down quite contentediy around their
sentinel The thought struck me to use
the heron for a decoy. l drew a bead on
the guard, and q couple of days after he
again visited the lake, only this time /
carried him under my arm and his eyes
were made OF glass aud his body of eX-
celsior. ! placed him on a tussock as
natural looking as possible. and had all
the shooting I wanted Whenever / de-
sired water fowl all ! had TO do was to
put my heron in position, and / had not
long to wait before he WAS surrounded.

MINISTER
WI Discusses the Famine
Conditions.

AS the news of the famine in Chi
ma continues to reach the outside
world, its widespread extent begins to
be realized. A remittance of 100000,
forwarded by the Christian Herald
ChihR Famine Relief Fund makes a
total of 100000 which asalready been
sent to the sufferers in Shansi and
Shensi.
The following letter received by Dr.
Louis Klopsch, Of the Christian Her
aid, from Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese
Minister In Washington, is an addi-
tional chapter in the story of Cbina's
hunger suffering. According to the
Chinese Minister, women and children
are being sold for food, and thousands
are dying in Chilli where the condi
tion are only a repetition of the
Northern provinces.
Chinese Legation, Washington,
@ Aug. q, 1901.
My Dear Sir Referring to my let
ter of the 9th instant, in which l.
gave emphatic denial to a statement
enormously attributed to me that no
famine now existed in China | beg to
state that the famine is not confined
to the provinces of Shansi and Shensi
but that it exists also in the south
ern part of Chilli | have just re-
ceived letter from His Excellency.
Mr.. Sheng. Director General of the
Telegraph systems of China confirm
ing what | have already heard of the
famine ravages in some of the dis
tricts lying to the south of Pekin.
He states that the people are in eX-
treme distress and suffering; that they
that for want of sustenance, women
and children are being sold; and that
in some extreme cases the people are
reduced to such a degree of starva-
tion that they would almost resort
to eating human flesh. He adds that
funds are sadly needed.
Ao IHe Shl hliStldu Ileldlu Is SIlll Car
rying on the noble work for the relief
of the famine, | trust that you will be
good enough to direct the attention of
the relief workers to that part of
Chihli also. where suffering exists.
and that, if you deem it necessary,
you will make further appeal to the
benevolent and generous American
public for more funds, which no doubt
would be readily Forthcoming if the
facts are made known.
Very truly yours, go

Photo Of The Only Man She
Loved.
Special to the Leader.


Lima. o. Aug. ga pretty ro-
nance is behind the attempted suicide
of Mrs. Sadie Simmons last night.
Mrs Simmons resides with her moth
er on East Elm street and for some
time has been living apart from her
husband. Several weeks ago a young
man named Frank McGraw was Sc
verely injured in bicycle accident
and was taken to the home of Mrs.
Simmons to be cared for
During the long days and nights of
suffering that he was contend to his
bed Mrs. Simmons was the minister
ing angel who devotedly nursed him
back to life, cupid's darts in the mean
time piercing her heart again, not
withstanding the fact that her hus
band was living. When the day for
parting from her charge came Mrs.
Simmons learned that her love was
not returned to the extent that she had
hoped and longed for.
She secured bottle Of laudanum
yesterday, and after telling her moth
er no one cared for her, swallowed a
large dose of the poison, enough the
physicians said, to kill a dozen per-
sons. She was found on the fioor Of
her room with McGraw's photo clasp
ed in her hand She made second
attempt again tonight, but was again
saved. ...
