In the General Passenger Agent of
the Ann Arbor railroad that company
certainly has prince of entertainers
in Col. j, j. Kirby, who never seems
80 thoroughly at home as when sur
rounded by party of people to
whom he is imparting information
necessary to enable them to enjoy
themselves. During the Buckeyes
stay at Frankfort he was constantly
on the alert; ever anxious to see that
the visitors were enjoying themselves.
This is his usual method and it is
therefore no wonder that the people
are beginning to understand the
beauties of the Frankfort and Crystal
lake region.

YELLOW BIRDS ON
TELEPHONE POLES
THEY HAVE BEEN MAKING GREAT
HAVOC IN NEW YORK THIS
SUMMER.
POLES ARE JUST RUINED
Birds Peck at Them Until They Rot
Early and Thus Are Unfit
for Use.

Owing to the ravages of the yellow
hammers or flickers, workmen have been
kept busy repairing and replacing the
posts Of the new telephone line here ever
since the birds arrived in the spring.
While the posts of the telephone and
telegraph were confined to the cleared land
away from the woods there was no trou-
BILE in keeping them in good condition for
IS or 20 years, but when private and pub
die enterprise extended the telephone to
remote sporting camps and fishing grounds
the fickers began to peck holes in the
soft arbor vitae wood, digging galleries far
into the heart and making the sticks so
weak that they broke off in high winds.
Until the white cedar, or arbor vitae.
poles began to be employed for holding the
wires aloft, the hickers did not disturb
this specie of trees. Most OF the work
performed by these birds is done upon
trunks of white birch, which is soft and
easy to penetrate, and upon such other
aged trees as had partly rotted, the de-
caying wood furnishing homes for the in
sects upon which the fickers s,ibsist.
One may search the woods all day and
never find flicker nest in any arbor vitae,
spruce, or pine. No sooner, however, had
along the sides OF the roads to hold the
wires than every one became the target
for the industrious birds, which not only
dug holes for their nests in the soft trunks,
but tunneled through the wood in every di-
rcction.
Men who have observed hickers at work
on the telephone lines say the birds mis-
take the constant hummng kept up by the
Al. r. a.. @t,a
wood, and that the poles are ruined out
Of misdirected zeal in pursuit Of grubs
which do not exist.
"A flicker on alighting on the side of a
pole will give few taps with his bill
against the dry wood and then cock his
head on one side to listen for borers. Hear
ing the wires singing and humming in the
breeze and feeling the pole tremblc slightly
from the pulsng sound, the flicker reasons
that the whole stick is filled with tooth
some grubs and at once begins to cut away
the wood.
After working until he is tired, the bird
stops to listen again, and finding the sound
is as loud as ever and apparently deeper
in the wood, he resumes his labor, pene-
trating deeper and deeper, until he has
bored hole clear through the stick.
In this manner the fickers have worked
day after day, until there is not whole
pole left on any telephone line which runs
through the woods. AS new pole is
worth So, and as the cost of carriage and
setting is S. or more, the expense of keep
ing backwoods line in repair is more than
the companies can stand, and double rates
are charged to patrons who desire tele-
phone communications from resorts that
are far from open felds.-New York Sun

ROUT OF ONE JANITOR
Against a New Code.

In an apartment house on the West
Side, where 10 families reside, there is
janitor who came to teach and remained to
Prompt Revolt of the Tenants of a Flat
learn. The building is in the general
charge of an agent who cings to the good,
old-fashioned idea that employees are TO
do what employers want, and he proved a
great surprise to the up to date janitor.
An industrious janitor, who had found
more fruitful field of labor, lately gave
place to the new one, who took charge on
Thursday afternoon. There seemed to
be no more friction than new machinery is
liable to develop for couple of days, but
on Sunday morning the tenants received
a jarring.
No newspapers or milk came up by the
dumb waiter and rings of the bells from
the kitchens to the basement brought no
answers. Indeed, persistent ringers with
acute ears presently ascertained that their
eager ringing led to the plugging up of the
bells, for the bells which had at first
sounded clearly through the waiter shaft
now ceased to give forth any sound at all,
Wonder was given place to anger, when
the occupants of the apartments received
neatly written communications, dated the
day before and signed by the janitor.
These read in this wise:

these apartments does not include his sery-
ices to the tenants.
These rules are necessary for the
proper management Of the apartments"
Law abiding Americans in the house did
not want to disturb the peace Of the Sab
bath, and for the most part the COMMUNE
cations were received with silence. And
for that one morning servants descended
and ascended the stairs with milk jars, pa
pers, etc, in their arms, while there
were few remarks about the probability
of empty flats being the order in that

janitors rules.
