AMERICAS BIRD OF FREEDOM
The Law to be Invoked in Illinois to Protect Eagles From Death
 or Capture.

Chicago, March 7.--The Tribune says: The bird of freedom is not to be trified with-not at least, if the Audubon society can prevent it. Po- lice Captain Madden and Patrolmen Crane and Lavin captured and caged an eagle in Washington park on Mon- day. A director of the Audubon so- ciety, reading in the newspapers the account of the capture, notified State Game Commissioner Loveday that the capture or killing of an eagle is violation of the statutes of Illinois.
 With the dry law he mixed a touch of sentiment saying:
 Aside from the living interest which the eagle adds to the woods and fields, there is sentiment which attaches to the bird'
 he game commissioner at once en- listed in the cause of the eagle. The bird of freedom should be all that its title implied if he could bring it about He reread the account of the capture in the papers, then wrote a reply to the Audubon directors. Said he:
 our favor relative to the capture and caging of an American eagle duly received and l can assure you that The matter will be thoroughly inves- tgated and the party or parties found guilty of violation of our statutes, will be dealt with according to their deserts"

How She FIoored Him.

A fresh young man had large chunk of conceit removed from his cfanium dur. ing the past week. The one who removed it was a pretty young Dublin girl who is in Albany for few weeks visit while awaiting the establishment of her father s home in the west. One evening last week she was visiting at friends house when the fresh young man dropped in. He was charmed with her ways and wit, and worked hard all evening to create an inn pression. He was fattering himself on his success until the end, which occurred as he left her at the door of her temporary home. Before saving good night she thanked him heartily for his kindness in accompanying her home.
 "Oh, don't mention it, gurgled the young man in his incest way.
 '1ndeed, I won't. I'm as much ashamed of it as you are," was the startling reply.
 The fresh young man is worrying about what she really meant.-Albany Journal

 Catarrh follows grip as effect follows cause.
 A multitude of catarrh victims will spring up in the trail of the awful epidemic of grip that has just passed over our fair country.
 The hope to these people is Peruna.
 Most people know this already.
 Everyone who has had the least touch of grip, should not fail to take course of treat ment with Peruna.
 Peruna eradicates every vestige of the dis ease and leaves the system in normal con- dition.

Another Proof That It Pays.

What pays? Why, advertising in this paper. A letter from the makers of Cas- carets calls attention to the fact that within five years the sales have grown from noth- ing to six million boxes last year. This goes to show if you have an article of real merit like Cascarets, advertise it properly and liberally and let all the people know about it, it is sure to bring big results. Readers who have never tried this famous remedy are urged to try it, because in this busy, every day life of ours, we all need something now and then to help nature and there IS no better medicine in the world than Cas- carets to stimulatethe liver and bowels gen. tly and naturally into healthy action.
