Tendency of the Times.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The
best thought of the world is being
giving to the subject. 1t is easier
and better to prevent than to cure.
II has been fully demonstrated that
pneumonia, one of the most dan
gerous diseases that medical men
have to contend with, can be pre-
vented by the use of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia al
ways results from a cold or from
an attack of influenza grip, and it
has been observed that this remedy
counteracts any tendency of these
diseases toward pneumonia. This
has been fully proven in many
thousands of cases in which thie
remedy has been used during the
great prevalence of colds and grip
in recent years, and can be, relied
upon with implicit confidence.
Pneumonia often results from a
eight cold when no danger is ap-
pretended until ii is suddenly dis
covered that there is fever and diff
Guilty in breathing and pain in the
chest, then il is announced that the
patient has pneumonia. Be on the
safe side and take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy az soon as the cold
10 contracted. It always cures. For
sale by A. R. Kane.

Negro Burglar Makes q Couple i. Of
Visits Tuesday Night.

Tuesday night about IL o'clocl
&. E. Edwards heard some fellow in
his house and upon investigation
discovered buck niger in the
kitchen helping himself to some
thing to eat. Edwards grabbed al
the niger, but he got away.
The came night Charlie Willie
thought he heard his children up
walking around the house, but hie
wife quieted him, telling him it wac
only the wind, 80 he went back to
sleep. The next morning, however
he found his pants not where he
left them, and his coat was gone.
From his pocketbook had been
taken $40, and from his pants pock.
ct his pocket knife.
After Edwards had had his excite.
ment he notified Constable John
Jones. The latter went to the depot
arriving there just as the south
bound Meteor arrived. He ascer.
tanned that a negro had purchased
a ticket for south, and Jones did
likewise. Searching the train, Jones
found the fellow he wanted before
the train reached Miami. He got
off at Miami with his prisoner and
took the north bound Meteor for
Baxter. The prisoner gave his
name as William Baker and when
searched, Tom Edwards cap was
found in his possession, as was al
80 Willis knife and coat. The lat
ter he had on over another coat and
under black macintosh.
Barker was arranged before JUS
tice L. c. Jones Wednesday morn
ing charged with burglary in the
first degree.
Willis identified his coat and
when Constable Jones ordered
Barker to take it off, he said to Viii.
lis, "How come it 20 coat? That's
my coat" Willie, although certain,
said if it was his coat there were
some brads in the little eide pocket.
Upon investigation the brads were
found as was also Mr.. Willis
necktie.
The penalty for burglary in the
first degree is not less than ten nor
more than twenty-one years in the
penitentiary. The entering of a
where people are asleep
in the night time, with intent to
felony or theft, is consid-
cred first degree burglary.

end, when she asks why the woodpecker
has a long. hard bill and why it's claws are
shaped in such peculiar fashion she finds
that the children have reasoned all this out
for themselves.
Or, after telling her listeners of the dan
gers which beset yo ing birds and how the
nest is generally the same color as it's sur
roundlngs, in order 10 hide II from the
watchful eyes CT squirrels and hawks, she
shows them the male and female tanagers--
the father bird with his scarlet plumage, the
mother with her sober coat Of green.
why is this difference?" she will ask.
The quick brains have thought it out in a
minute. The mother must be the same
color as the leaves and grass around her.
so that. while on the nest. she will not at
tract the attention OF her enemies. But the
father, who does not have to stay by the
nest. may have a brilliant plumage.

is a birds day?'
The children work out the problem.
And have sat by swallows nest and
watched 1t feed its young for several
hours" Miss Moore pursues. THE mother
bird flew back and forth with food about
thirty times each hour. II she does this all
day long, how many times will she feed her
little ones in a day?"
1t takes scarcely two minutes for the
children to make the calculation.
My says an awed voice among the
little girls, Just think of feeding your
children 450 times day"
Even your mother doesn't have to work
that hard. does she?" asks Miss Moore.
From that time the idea that all that

JOY themselves, vanishes from the childish
mind.
Miss Moore never talks pointedly aga inst

promising to protect all animals from
harm and to join the Audubon society, or
some other similar body,
After she had told a class Of little girls
about the chatterbox bird, which quacks
like a duck and barks like a dog. and OF
the bluejay, which hid seed in her hair
as she sat perfectly still watching him
one day, and a dozen other similar stories,
Miss Moore asked:
Now. who can tell me some enemies
which birds have?"
Hawks" said the little girll, breath
Iessly, land cats"
Boys throw stones at them" said sew
eral voices, with evident satisfaction at
being able to dilate upon the wickedness Of
boys.
And what do little girls do to harm
birds?"
Cause.
"They pick them up" suggested a small
vc!Ce.
And squeeze them" said another.
And put them in cages"
What do little girls wear in their hats?"
Miss Moore asked, finally.
"Ribbcns-and flowCrs-and feathers"
suggested several girls.
And where do feathers come from?"
why, we buy them the hats"
But where do the people who make the
hats find these fedthers?"
Eyes opened wide. There was q pause.
When Miss Moore explained that the
birds must be killed to obtain the feathers,
fifty little girls pledged themselves not 20
wear feathers again.
Boys do not leave Miss MOore's talks
without learning the game laws of the
state. That in almost every state in the
union a person may be fined $40 fcr either
killing or caging a native cong bird is
fact that many grown people do not under
stand.
In her talks Miss Moore shows the chill
dren only those birds which abound in the
parks and the country about them. She
wishes to avoid the impression that she IS
exhibiting specimens of rare or curious
Omaha daily bee., 1903-03-22

creatures. She tries to teach them how 20
find and study birds in their native haunts.
Few of the children to whom Miss Moore
speaks in tho public schools can AFFORD n
ride to the country or park But after one
Of her bird talks, three ambitious young
stors actually procured 10 cents apiece and
started to a park to see the birds which she
had shown them and had assured thom
we're TO be found there. In strange terri
tory, with unframed eyes and no knowledge
OF the places In which the bir6s could best
be found, iLcy failed to discover a single
specimen. They returned heart t-oken. and
the next morning one of the trio cOnhded to
his teacher that he was going to spend n
whole penny on a postal card. just to write
to Miss Moore and tell her that those birds
were not in the park at ALL"
That the bird talks teach children TO lie
observant, even though they are conhncl
TO the city, is proved by the many lrtts' Is
which Miss Moore is constantly receiving
from children who have heard her talk.
A boy of writes:
81 have watched a parrot owned by one
of my neighbors. l saw that 1t had two
toes toward the front and two toward the
back of each foot. 1t has a long curved
bill. and near it's head il has two li.tlr
holes called nostrils. l wish you would
come TO see us again with your birds, for l
like to study about them"
Another writes
when | went TO see what l could find
out about birds / went 10 a store where
they sold canaries. There were many Linds
of them, and all had pretty colors. One
had a brown head and wings. It had gray
under its bill. Another had pretty "OloTs
on It's back and wings, such as red, black
and brown. 1t had a very long bill for a
canary. But the sign outside the window
said that all are canaries."
Besides dozens of letters of this sort.

Despite his pleasant smile and cor lial
grasp OF his hand Mayor Low OF New York
is regarded by those who have occasion to
do much public business with him az a cold
man. He has never shown one spark Of
temper since elected to the Office of mayor
and this is a case of remarkable sclf-con-
troll as he has temper that would blaze
up if he would let IT, No matter how loudly
he may be calling an official down he does
it i'm a quiet voice and in choice words
chosen with academic precision. This char
acteristic is all the more marked as his
predecessor, Mayor Van Wyck, was steel
trap baited with yitriol.
