Trick NORTH loses. very easy trick here,
the spade is the last one and East must now

BIRDS MIGRATE FROM SOUTH
Thousands Arrive in This City and Many
Die Of Exhaustion

Birds 10y the thousands. migrating
from the South. arrived in this city
Yesterday Many were exhausted from
their long journey, and fell dead in
the streets.
Walter d. Bush. who is well versed
in bird lore, says that the only thing
remarkable about the migration was
the large number of birds and the va
rieties represented. He had seen such
numbers before. but not frequently.
The birds travel in the night and rest
in the daytime This accounts for so
many of them being exhausted and
falling dead yesterday.
Among the winged travellers were
scarlet tangiers, It'd larks, yellow
breasted fly catchers and warblers.
Several people caught some of the
birds. among them being Manager
Dockstader. f. V. Mccall and Colonel
A. L. AinscOw.

How the Earth Changes.

How does one generation of men sue
ceed another? The fathers are not
swept away in body to make room
for the children, but one by one the old
drop off and the young come on, till
a day is reached when none of those
remain that once were here, says Har-
per's. How does some form of human
speech become extinct? About hun
dred years ago an old lady named Dolly
Dentreath died in Cornwall. She could
speak the Cornish language; after her
death there was nobody that could.
Thus quietly did the living Cornish
language become dead language; and
in a like unobtrusiye manner have
been wrought most of the new becom-
ings (which have changed and are
changing the earth.

OKLOHoMAS CUT THEIR HAIR.
Young Men of the Tribe Are Fast Dis
carding Many OF Their Abo-
rigInaI Ways.

The blending of the customs of the
red men and the palefaces is dis
cussed in a report recently sent to
Washington by Maj. George w. II.
Stouch, United States army, the
agent in charge of the Cheyenne and
Arapahoe Indian reservation in Okla
homa. As the views of an authority
on the subject, the report, reviewed
by the Washington Star, throws in
teresting sidelishts ON what is really
taking place in the amalgamation of
the two races. Maj. Stouch says:
"Many of the older Indians adhere
to their religious customs, yet they
do not indulge in them to any alarm
ing or detrimental extent. by moral
suasion and friendly advice a number
of the young Indians have been pre-
vailed upon to discontinue the wear
ing OF long hair
"No strenuous effort has been put
forth to induce the old Indians, who
have worn long hair all their days, to
shear their locks, as to compel them
to cut their hair would be very bad
policy and result in more harm than
good. The loss of their hair would
make the old fellows weak, humiliat-
ed and cowed characters out of what
are now strong and leading spirits"

BENEFICIAL WALKING TOURS.
Autumn Outings AfOot which Are tho
Most HenlthfuI and Enjoyable
Forms of Exercise.

Walking is an art almost said to
be one of the lost arts, says Country
Life in America. 1t is astonishing
how few know how to walk-know
how to acquire the measured stride,
the springy step, the easy poise OF
the body and the swing of the arms,
which make walking at once one of
the most healthful and enjoyable
forms of physical exercise. For the
real pleasure of walking one must
turn to the country. Pavements are
but dead, unyielding matter at best.
In the turf of the country there is u
spring in response to the pressure of
the foot which is delight and an in
spiration in itself. The purity of the
air sets the blood to racing glori-
ously.
Good walkers find 20 miles a day
comfortable average, allowing of
plenty of time for rest and "loafing."
Two weeks thus spent will afford
memories to last for all time, and
with them a measure of health and
strength, quickening of vital forces,
a nervous energy which will find ex-
preston in increased power for ac-
complishment in the worlds work.

MORTGAGE 100 YEARS OLD.
A Philadelphia Incumb rance That No
One Has Ever Sought to
satisfy.

sale of property at 213 Fitzwater
street was recently made, and in go
ing back over the old records it was
discovered that mortgage which
antedated the administration of
President Washington was still an in
cumbrance on the property, says a
Philadelphia report. The paper was
executed by James Glow and wife III
favor of Archibald Mccall The con-
sideration named was 1913 1-3 Spanish
milled dollars, coin which was the
standard of value during the revolu-
tionary period. The value of the
milled dollar exceeded by few cents
the value of the silver dollar now in
use.
Mccall transferred the mortgage in
the year 1894 to John Houck, and it
does not appear on the records again.
The attorney for the petitioner has
served notice by advertisement on
Houck or his heirs to appear in the
court of common pleas No. 1 on De-
cember 1, and show cause, il any ex-
ist, why the mortgage should not be
satisfied by an order of the court. 1t
is not anticipated that any defendants
will appear. but the legal formula
must be gone through with before
the title may be perfected.
Even if any of Mr. Houck's heirs
should appear in court it would be
necessary, if they designed making n
valid claim for money due, to show
that the debt had been recognized
during the past 20 years. A payment
of interest or part of the principal is
the best evidence of such acknowl-
edgment, and there Is no record of any
payment having been made for more
than 100 years.

OLD PEOPLE WHO WORK.
WOrld-Fnmed Celebrities who still
Keep busy Although over
the FOurScOre.

1t is needless to call upon history
to prove the usefulness and richness
that may attend the lives of those
who have passed their three score
years and ten, says viii Carleton's
Magazine, Every Where. The vener-
able Gladstone did the thinking and
much of the speaking for the govern
ment of one of the mightiest en-
pires of the world, almost up to the
day of his death. Pope Leo, at the
age of 81, carries the burdens of
worldwide church, and Herbert Spen-
Ger at 81 reads and digests the news
and literature of the world and re-
creates therefrom an immortal phi
losophy. In our own land the sturdy
Senator Morrill, and Evarts, the jur-
ist, worked out their problems of
state and law almost up to the very
hour when they were called to higher
fields of effort; and to-day ex-senator
Bradbury, of Maine, aged 90, and Sen
ator Pettus, of Alabama, at 81, are
busy with the affairs of this world.
The venerable David Wark, the
"father of the Canadian senate" per-
forms the duties of his high office
at the remarkable age of 81, and
Verdi still composed music at the
age of 81. There are few keener or
more persistently active minds in the
world of finance than that of Russell
Sage, who recently celebrated his
eighty-seventh birthday, while King
'ht,iS int Of Il Il
ministers the affairs of state at the
age of S5, and Julia Ward Howe,
though SO, writes books that sell, and
gives lectures that people are eager
to hear.

strike Conferences.

SCRANTON, Pa, Nov. 25. - The
scenes of the strike settlement negotia-
lions have been suddenly shifted from
this city to Washington and New York.
Today the committee of nine of the in
dependent operators is holding con-
ference with the presidents of the coal
carrying roads regarding the position
If the individual companies, and at the
same time a meeting between Wayne
Macy Neagh and other attorneys repre-
senting the coal roads and President
Mitchell and his attorneys is being held
in the national capital. Scranton and
the entire coal regions will in the
meantime wait with considerable in
terest to hear what the Thanksgiving
,ffering will be. The independents have
;one to New York to find out what the
arge companies can do for them in the
way of freight rates in case an in
rease in wages is decided upon. The
nine workers representatives have
zone to Washington to find out what
he large companies had to offer. Both
rdently wish for success, but it is not
within their power to say what will be
he outcome.

KISSES RAISE 'PHONE RATES.
sweethenrts MonopoIixe the Wires to
Such an Extent an Advance
becomes Necessary.

A merchant from Uniontown was
lately talking about telephones the
other day at the hotel where he was
stopping, reports the Philadelphia
Record.
'In my town." he said, "the tele.
phone company is going to raise the
rates for business phones from $2j
to $45, and for residence phones
from SIS to S32: Do you know why?
1t is to keep sweethearts from mo.
nopolizing the wires. 1t is to make
telephones so expensive that the
young men and women who love one
another won't bill and coo over the
wires all day long.
I'm Uniontown now it is n wonder
that the wires don't blush red, the
love words that pass over them. The
sound that a kiss makes-that phi,
phi sounds sent many times a day
from one receiver to another. And
such expressions as darling, and
deary, and honey, and sweetheart
drown out altogether the plain busi-
ness talk about the price of coal, and
the boom in steel, and the bills re-
ceivable that are due.
$50 in Uniontown because the
young men and girls have been mo-
nopolizing the wires, with their
sparkling, the telephone rates are to
be raised nearly 100 per cent"
