OSTRICHES FROM FLORIDA
 At the Florida ostrich Farm every. thing is rushing. The owners are making active preparation to send away a second shipment of the big birds to the North for the Summer.
 About three weeks ago the first ship ment went to Atlantic City, N. J., where there is a Summer branch of the Florida farm. Next Monday the second shipment will be put aboard the Clyde steamship and will go to Boston, from where they will be sent to Bass Point for the Summer branch No. 2 These birds will go in large crates and will be in the care of Joe Lorrimer. He will feed and water the birds on their ocean voyage, and will have charge of the Bass Point branch this Summer.
 The third shipment will leave in about three weeks for Saratoga, where branch No. 3 is located.
 When the three shipments shall have gone there will be at the Florida farm less than one hundred ostriches and chicks, but there will be several hum dred pheasants of all varieties, a doz- en deer, and as many alligators and other beasts and reptiles.
 There are at the farm now several young crocodiles, which were captured down below Bay Biscayne. They are in a tank with several young alliga- tors, and the difference between the species can be easily distinguished when they are together The crocodile is becoming rapidly extinct in Florida, and there have been very few captured in recent years.
 The buck deer which were at the farm have all been sent north, and nothing but the gentle does are now at the farm.
 There are two young ostrich chicks a day aid at the farm, both having been matched yesterday. To-day it is ex- pected that twelve more will see the light in the incubator
 Among the many birds being shipped north are the young birds which were matched at the three places last year. These have been sent to their respec- tive birthplaces, to give the visitors to the exhibit an idea of the time it takes for the birds to mature

 One afternoon when the head of the
 house was away from home, the three women were sitting in room together when the girl noticed a snake of con- siderable size coiled up on a clothes rack, or shelf, some distance above the floor, and craning it's neck out and weaving 1t to and fro in regular snake fashion The girl knew the impression able condition of her mistress and the possible effect upon her of any undue and sudden excitement. Her quick re- membrance of this fact and her rapid ly evolved plan of action is the proof of her sels-possession.
 She knew the prevailing weakness of women to scream when anything un- usual occurs, and therefore knew she could not even take the nurse into her confidence at once in the matter of the discovery of the snake without great danger of precipitating the climax she wanted to avoid. So she quietly said to her mistress, T think I heard your

Fargo Excursion.

A disinterested observer, scanning
the faces of the farmers who took ad:
vantage of the low rate TO visit the
agricultural college, could easily form
the opinion that crop prospects were
bright, without sight of the crops
themselves. They were repre-
sentative lot of tillers of the soil and a
little observation and study would
show why there was SO little dis
couragement and failure from last
years experience.

the time at Sanborn was spent by

thoughtful examining the new school

The correspondent also desires
to know why such open violation
of the law is tolerated. This
question is somewhat hard to
answer for me; but if the CORES
pondent will stop and think, he
may be able to reason it out him
self. In my opinion it depends
largely upon the men that are in

the law enforced, how can the

Did you Mr.. Correspondent or

are you of the opinion that it is
the duty of the attorney and
