Immediate change in their plans.
Mayor Harrison has had change Of
heart. Several years experience with

cold months. The mayor has NOT only
ordered that no tramps shall be lodged
in the police stations this year but has
also stated that the condition of the

Victim. of Greed.


Many birds are choked to death by
trying to swallow more than they are
capable of. Hunters tell many tales OF
how they have found birds in the act
Of choking to death. and others that
have died with the morsel half way
down the throat. writes George E.
Walsh. Birds that live on other
creatures are the most likely to be
choked In swallowing their food. They
cannot always judge the size of the
toad or fish they capture. and in the
greed of the moment they gulp 1t
down. Herons have even attempted to
swallow water rats, which naturally
make difficult mouthful for them.
Fish hawks and gulls often attempt to
swallow fish too largo for their throat.
and while they generally disgorge their
meal, they occasionally get caught
and die from the effects; of their greed.
When ons Of them gets a fish too
large for 1ts throat stuck half way
down 1t becomes helpless and unable to
hy. and It generally seeks some rest
ing place. Herons have been known
to impale hawks on their bills, and
the two have died together.-Detroit
Free Press.

This gentleman. Frank Bochaty, asked
Sherman to bring in u few pigeons for
him also. Jesse ttheretipon kiaded his
double -barreled shotgun and placed it
In the buggy to take with him. He
made the remark as he passed out that
they had been having lots Of trouble
from boys of the city going out and
stealing pigeons and rabbits.
When~Mr and Mrs. Sherman arrived
at the ranch they saw number OF
boys about the place. several of whom
had guns and were apparently hunting
on the property.
Sherinan's story from this point 10
that when he saw the boys he conclud-
Ell he would catch them and give them
a good scare. He said it was his idea
to get them all together, get their
names and report them to the new

hands, The boysataw ham and started
to rfiD in different directions There
were eight boys In the party. One of
the boys, lad named Adams, he
caught. He told him to stand by the
barn until he got the others. and Sher.
man then started in pursuit Of them.
A moment later the boy at the barn
heard shot, and running to the end
of the barn he saw his companions fall
but he did not see the shot fired. Sher-
man says that us be started running
after the f-uys. who were about 100
yards ahead OF him. he shouted to them
to stop. hut they ran all the faster. and
that while he was in pursuit he STUN
bled and in some manner the gun was
accidentally discharged, three lads,
Dorrington, King and Considine being
laid low by the one shot.
Shermanran up to the boys. and, see
ing their condition, shouted to his wife
to bring up the buggy, whelI she did
