The Doe and the Jackdaw.

In Savernake forest I once wit
messed a very pretty little scene. I
noticed a doe lying down by herself
in a grassy hollow, and as L passed
her at a distance of about so yards
it struck me as singular that she
kept her head so low down that l
could only see the top of it on
level with her back. Walking round
to get better sight, saw jack
daw standing on the turf before her,
very busy pecking at her face. With
my glass L was able to watch her
movements very closely; he pecIed
round her eyes, then her nostrils, her
her face; and, just as man when
being shaved turns his face this way
and that under the gentle guiding
touch of the BARRIERS fingers and
lifts up his chin to allow the razor
to pass beneath it, so did the due
raise and lower and turn her face
about to enable the bird to examine
and reach every part with his bill.
Finally, the daw left the face, and,
moving round, jumped on the deer's
shoulders, and began minute search
in that part; having finished this, he
jumped on to the head and pecked
at the forehead and round the bases
of the ears. The pecl1ing done, he
remained for some seconds sitting
perfectly still, looking very pretty
with the graceful head for stand,
the does long ears thrust out on
either side of him.-Birds and Man.

Some important changes are to be
made in the "screen-wagon" and star
route mail service throughout the
county, and of course, Akron and
Summit county will share in it.
Mr.. +. NJ. Burr, representing the
second assistant postmaster general, W..
S. Shallenberger, was in Akron Friday.
To reporter for the Democrat he
stated that the speculative feature
connected with contracts for star
routes and the hauling of mail between
postoftices and depots will be wholly
eliminated. The contracts will be
awarded direct to local bidders, who
will deal with the postoffice depart
ment themselves and receive all the
money for the service. Heretofore,
spectators have secured the contracts
and sub-let them at ridiculously low
figures to others.
Another important feature will be a
box delivery service on star routes

that for every seven marriage licenses
issued there is one divorce, or 18 per
cent. of the marriages are followed by
legal separations. The totals of the
tables compiled by the Statistician are
as follows: Number of marriage IL
censes issued, 26,914; number of d.
vorces granted, 1858.
The largest increases in divorces
over 1902, when compared with the
previous year, were in the counties OF
Delaware, Grant, and Madison. The
breaking up of the Gretna Green at
Jeffersonville, caused falling Off of
more than one-half in the marriage
licenses issued in Clark county.

and Dukes was cajoling his men In bad
Spanish and trying to cheer them with
a reminder of what they had done the
day before.
To the left man screamed and col
lapsed. 1t sent a shiver along the
whole line. Bill saw that the crisis
had come.
ooh, but they're rotten fish," he
moaned, and stuck his revolver under
the nose Of a trembling little sergeant
who had turned and was in the act OF
jumping from the trench and running.
"Ill shoot the first man that goes
back" the desperate renegade cried,
and he sprang from the trench the
better to cover them all. AS he rose
he was exposed, and hardly had he
Strengthened up before he reeled. Be-
fore he reached the ground another
bullet had hit him in the side. The
first one had shattered his right arm,
and his revolver fell from his hand.
AS Bill rolled and went over into the
trench again his soldiers scrambled out
and scampered in all directions, some
even throwing away their rifles. Bill
heard the cheer of the coming Ameri-
cans when the charged, and as he
opened his eyes again they were look
ing down at him, bloody and muddy In
the trench. They were from the Fourth
infantry outfit and they seemed to
know "Bill Dukes"
Gimme a drink of water" gasped
Bill as he saw, the canteens slung to
their hips. The men looked at each
other and not word was said.
"Well, gimme a cigarette"
Several of the infantrymen had be-
gun to roll their own, but not one Of
fered to hand the dying renegade pa
per or tobacco.
They're no good" began Bill again,
nodding his head toward the distance
into which the Filipinos had disap.
peared. "They never stand up. If
had had Americans with me yester
day I'd have drove you fellers cleal
back into Paranaqua. Gimme some
water for Gods sake"
His voice had sunk to whisper, bu,
the Fourth infantrymen stood around
and never said word or made a
move. One of the cigarette smoker,
spat and it was in the direction of th
dying man.
''To hell with you, I'll soon be shu
Of 1t ALL" and the renegade turned
painfully in his blood and died. H,
was buried in the trench without {
blanket and the Fourth infantry
trampled on his grave until not a sigl
of 1t was left.

Mr.. Frank Werner Has
Rare, Ability.
Opinion OF One Who Has Seen
Ills Work.

Extreme pleasure and enjoyment
was given me ON Thursday evening
last ut the residence Of Mr.. p. ID.
Werner, when, with other friends and
enthusiastic admiration, l was per-
mitted to view some character por.
traits painted IN oil by his son, Mr..
Frank Werner, during his recent
studies in Berlin. 1t In evident he is
ths ppssessor of the talent of his an
cestor, Anton Won Werner, one Of the
most famous of German painters.
do not consider myself critic in the
least and can only give my impress
sion of the merit of bis work. and I
cannot give detailed description Of
each picture nor grasp entirely the
characteristic spirit--but all are most
excellent
His subjects are mostly taken from
common life and lower classes Of so
ciety, observations in the lanes and
market places. He has held fast with
his brush the impressions secured, and
formed them into pictures, and while
gazing at the faces portrayed, one can
only fully appreciate the meaning, by
endsavoring to imagine some episode
In the life of the character, that tells
a story, SO clearly and distinctly is
Il depicted in each and every coun-
tenance. He has breathed an artistic
inspiration in accordance with each
character; the varied moods and
strong emotions intensified with vivid
and striking clearness, full of vigor
and living reality.
There is not an Indifferent face
among them; and his conception of the
natural endows his portraits with a
faculty which is impressive; of pathos
and endurance, picturing age in COM
fort, serenity or distress, debauchery,
pain and suffering, ruin and wretched-
ness, quiet and repose, powerful and
lofty feeling, with the liveliest express
ion and with mastery hand. In.
telIectual life he exhibits equally
well as the ugly elements in the life
Of his figures.
In his elaboration Of the minutest
details, there is wonderful care and
scrupulous accuracy; the execution
and coloring most effective and har
monious. The emotional expression of
his faces makes them fully intelligible
to us, richly endowed with truthful
and touching naturalness.

of Tannhauser," shows the closes

DEAD MAN"
Had Walked Away When the
Undertaken Arrived.

Undertaken Parks was called twice
Sunday to take care of the same man.
At 1880 a. m. there came call saying
that dead man was lying near
Brewster's crossing on South Main st.
The dead wagon was sent out there
but when IL arrived 1t was found that

got disgusted and refused to let them
serve in the army. 1t was a precious
trio that laughed over the story of
how the Fourth had been driven back
and Lieut.. Bill swore often and loud
ly as he basked in the admiration of
his blinking and bleary companions.
4 tell you," he hiccoughed, III drive
the whole push back on Bacoor and
into the bay If they'll only let me have
the men. Them new volunteer regi-
ments is crawling with recruits and 1
can break them every time"
The two scarecrows applauded wild
ly, for they had to depend on the char
ity of Lieut.. Bill for food, and especi-
ally drink. The bamboo pitchers fill
ed with bassy, sort of native beer,
were filled again and again until the
three became incoherent, and finally
slipping to the floor, lay there and
snored. When all was quiet but the
snoring. the mestiza woman came and
took off Bills boots. The other two she
kicked with her naked foot to show
her contempt for them. But she was
proud of Bill. He was the greatest
man in Dasmarinas that night, and
drunk as he was he belonged to her.
As the tropic dawn was jumping in
to the sky there came hurriedly into
the town boy and soon everything
was in commotion. The "Americanos"
were on the road again and were COM
ing to Dasmarinas in force to avenge
the insult Of yesterday. The victors
of the previous afternoon felt like run
ming away in the other direction. The
morning was cold and rain was COM
ing. and Filipino cannot even fight
unless he is reasonably comfortable
Amigos, women and children began to
take roads to the south, and Lieut.
Bill was ordered to hold the trenches
on the north of town and keep off the
Americans as long as possible before
retreating.
Bill swore at his men, bullied them,
and pushed them into the trenches.
Then he set some to collecting small
trees, with which he made screens so
that so that he might surprise the adj
vance again. With an outpost he went
off down the road, the better to watch
for the coming of the enemy. Bill
still felt his chest swelling with the
pride of victory, but his head was
swelling from his potations and the
one counteracted the other.
"And the Fourth outfits with 'em
again." he said grlmly to himself as
he waited and watched.
Bill had just taken drink from his
flask to calm his jumping nerves and
lighted cigarette, when he saw he
, was in for It. Before he could prevent
1t his outpost had fred few scatter
ing shots and turned to run. Cursing
them in two languages the renegade
ran after them, fumbling for his re.
volver and intending to fire at them
for cowardly ours.
They've no good" he cursed, as he
painted along. The sprawling, cigar
ette-smoking men in the trenches had
jumped on hearing the shots and were
fldgeting nervously as Dukes plunged
in among them. He could see the
American line open up like fan il
front of him. Els natives Were al
ready firing and he knew they were
| firing high and uselessly. Bullets were

Mackaye has drawn in the Pittsburg
Times, under the name of "Bill Dukes,
Renegade" Says Mr.. Mackaye:
Bill Dukes laughed loudly as he saw
his men firing briskly when they dodg-
ed from cover to cover In front of him.
He swore fervently and said to him
self
"Gawd, IL they only were Ameri-
cans, I'd clean up the whole island.
But they're poor stuff and never saw
them do it before
Bill Dukes was a lieutenant in the
Filipino army of liberty, and he gained
that promotion by deserting from the
ranks of the Sixth U. s. artillery. 1t
was not the dark eyes of the mestiza
girl that drew him away so much as
the promises sho had made Of the
rewards that would be his. Bill Dukes
was soldier by instinct and he liked
the sense Of power. The soft-vOiced
mestlsa was waiting in Dasmarinas
and she would be proud when she
heard that Bill had driven back bat
talon of the Fourth United States in
fantry. Because he wanted these lit
tie men and women to be proud of
him was why he laughed when he saw
the American rear guard retreating by
sections and firing as they went to-
ward linus. He was soldier enough
to know how they felt, for 1t was the
only time in all Luzon that it had hap
pened.
"Ah, ha, that's Willie-off- he-pickle-
boat in command of the rear guard and
he knows that I'm the man that's put.
ting 1t on him."
In his eagerness to let the American
officer know who was leading the ad'
vancing Filipinos, Lieut.. Bill Dukes
showed himself more conspicuously
than was safe, but the bullets that
came crashing over him did him nc
harm.
'The little fellows are doing great
work." and again he laughed as he
watched the spreading line and lis
tened to the volley firing. Bill already
had visions of what would be his If he
could only keep the men in front OF
him at such pitch all the time. Know,
ing the army methods, and with al
the best information secured by native
spies as to the movements of the
Americans, Bill that afternoon had am
pushed the battalion coming soutl
from linus and now he was enjoying
one of the most supreme moments o.
his life watching them being slowl,
. driven back. He did not care for tn,
} Filipinos, but 1t was intense satisfac
ton to him to know that he was humil
iating lot Of officers. Finally with
! few words of Spanish he halted hi
men, for he was afraid the firing nigh
bring out cavalry, and the troopers
were not so easy to handle as tn,
doughboys.
