PROTECT The oRIoLE

On tree close by the chamber
window of a friend of ours in Brighton
appeared the other day large net OF
caterpiilars which as soon as the
weather cleared must be destroyed.
Early the next morning jubilant
bird Song was heard by cur friend
near her chamber window, and look
ing out she found an oriole golden
robin eating caterpillars and singing
its song of thanksgiving.
That criole rendered a better service
in destroying a nest of caterpillars
than it could have rendered on
lady's hat.
1t is said that if all the birds were
destroyed the increase of insects
would become so great that every form
of human and animal life would
perish from the earth.
Ii birds We're better protected. the
state Of Massachusetts alone mieht
have saved the hundreds Of thousands
of dollars which have been and are
now being spent TO exterminate the
gypsy meth.

face darkening with anger-"so this

Mother and daughter both detested
her on the instant, but the beautiful
face and quivering lips took the master
of the house by surprise; he hall rose
from his chair, but his lady wife
frowned.

you bring that young person here?"
She was a mother herself, and the
sight of those pleading eyes, that
wistful face, might have softened her,
but it did not; she turned angrily to
the housekeeper.

THE ANGEL OF THE FLOWERS.
He Gave the Dear, Pink Rose a Pretty
Moss Jacket to Pay His Debt,
To be continued.

| One day the angel of the flowers
was very weary. The buttercup and
the cowslip had had heated discus.
sion as to which one was real cream
yellow; the purple pansies all wanted
to be white and the white ones wanted
to be red; the matrimony vine said
that marriage was a failure; and the
moonfiower was sure the sunfiower had
the best of it. And this poor little
flower angel was the only one who
could make everything all right.
He was so tired and bothered that
he thought he would just go away and
take nap before he would try to get
things in smooth running order again.
So he hurried off in TO the forest where
he knew there was nice shady place;
and curled himself all up tight in u
snug little bundle under a big oak
tree. All the birds came around ana
flew up in the branches; this was just
the prettiest angel they had ever seen
in all their lives, and they wanted to
talk him over. But the poor flower
angel was so tired that he went right
to sleep and never waited minute to
hear what they said about him.
The sparrow stood on one leg and
chirped: "Oh, what dear little angel!
See how yellow his HAIR is! Just like
the SUM-"
Il like his wings the BEST" said the
blackbird. They're just like mine"
At this there was a great chattering.
'Just listen to that" sneered the
bluejay, and there was derisive calls
from the catbird: Doesn't the idiot
know his wings are black?"
mo, | don't, nor you, either" re-
torted the blackbird. 81 don't know
what color you call his wings, but
know they are just like mine
Don't let us fight" said wild rose,
, leaning over so that she could peep
into the angels face; 81 like his face
because it is all pink and white like a
rose"
Il don't think he is bit pretty"
pouted red rose; he's altogether too
delicate to suit me-"
81 think myself that he is too sub
dued," agreed a brilliant tiger lily.
"But every one to his notion. l may
be prejudiced."
ooh, I don't know about that" the
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1903-07-30

Thank heaven,'' said the girl, when
she was once more alone with her
humble friend. 'Oh, thank heaven,
| am to go away. What cold faces;
they had not one word of welcome for
me-not one word Will all the world
be the same?'
NO, child; you will find warm,
loving, true hearts there. as well as
cold ones"
A slight storm followed their exit
What a very beautiful girl" said
Mr.. Harcourt, land what a pity, my
dear, that she should cut off that mag
nificent hair"
Just like papa" sneered Mabel;
''the idea of calling such a wax doll
beautiful"
''Mr. Harcourt,' said his wife, Sc
Verely, such remarks do not become
either your age or station. Mabel, you
may as well make the girl useful
while she stays: She is a good French
scholar-you might brush up your
French little by talking to her. See
If she has any taste in dress: ii so,
she can alter some of those old silks.
Mind you do not allow the least
familiarity from her"
mo fear of that mamma and in
deed, there was not the least.
81 am very seriously annoyed, said
Mrs. Harcourt; but we can do moth
ing. | suppose, without Mr.. Treherne S
advice
The morrow brought Mr. Treherne.
who was curious to see the new repre-
sentative of an old honored family.
He was disappointed at first sight by
the faces of husband and wife; he
rightly judged the mean, sordid, avari-
cious souls. Almost the first CONVEX
sation was about Florence. Mrs. Har.
court had insisted on being present
somewhat to the lawyers astonish-
ment, but she had been too long ac-
customed to manage her husbands
affairs to give it up now.
You mentioned an incumbrance in
your letter." said the lady, "and you
were speaking, l presume, of the
young girl? l consider tae Whole mat
ter very annoying indeed"
The late squire certainly ought to
have made some provision for her"
said Mr.. Treherne. at is unpardon
able to have left her in this destitute
state"
Mrs. Harcourt looked angrily at him.
Il should imagine the squire to have
been far too moral man ever to en-.
courage vice" she said.
Il do not consider providing for

malam," retorted the lawyer.
Who was the girls mother?"
asked Mr.. Harcourt, anxious to pre-
vent quarrel between his wife and
his lawyer.
Il can not say-I can only guess
but | myself shall always say and
thlnA that Mr.. William Beauchamp
was married to her, no matter who
she was
Married. cried mrs. Harcourt-
why that would make the girl heir
ess to the whole estate
Certainly it would. There are no
proofs of any such marriage, - but /
most certainly think it took place
My dear" said Mr. Harcourt to his
wife, I'VE had better be kind to the
girl"
Nonsense! you are easily fright
ened. If there had been any MARRIAGE.
the squire would have heard of It."
said Mrs. Harcourt; there has been
no such thing"
Il willingly admit there is no proof
of it, madam; but | knew William

my faith in him. l know another
thing, and that is, the squire always
intended to leave her provided for"
Pray what did he intend to leave

Two hundred per annum, madam;
he mentioned the sum to me, and |
quite approved of his purpose"
Two hundred a yearI Most absurd,
1t was really fortunate thing that
the squire did not make such an abb
surd Willie would certainly have
been laughed at"
Mr.. Treherne continued gravely:
THE squire also intended leaving
fifty pounds per annum to the house
keeper, Mrs. Morgan, and legacies of
twenty-five and fifty pounds to each OF
the servants
-Ridiculousi" said Mrs Harcourt.
"Of course" continued the lawyer.
lit is quite at your own option whether
you carry out those kindly intentions
and adviser OF the family, to say one
thing: do not turn this young girl out
of-doors. There are many people who
share my belief, and think that her
father was married; whether it was
so or not, there has always been great
sympathy expressed for the gil, and
it would do you an immensely of harm
if you were to turn her out know
of nothing that would excite a more
unpleasant feeling IN the neighbor-
hood"
In vain Mrs. Harcourt tried to say
something with bland courtesy that
was yet full of defiance Mr.. Trenerne
refused to hear any more on the sub
ject. He had said what he had to say;
now let them please themselves. He
had made an effort for the Door.
friendless girl; let them do as they
would
He was not very anxious to continue
his Office as agent for the estate. He
had had a great love and reverence
for the old squire; he had none for
these people who succeeded him. 1t
was matter OF perfect Indifference
to him whether he continued in his
Office or not. They saw it, and for that
reason were doubly anxious to retain
him. Mr.. Harcourt begged that he
would serve him faithfully as he HAD
done the squire.
Il will do it if you wish" said MI
Treherne, "but | can foresee many
points on which we shall disagree. |
am decidedly of opinion that the
legacies ought to be paid Mrs. Nor
gan, for example, has lived in this
house since she was young girl of
twelve; she is now nearly sixty. Such
long and faithful service deserves a
reward"
"She has been well paid, and has
saved money, | do not doubt" said
Mrs. Harcourt.
But the lawyer was not to be be-
guiled into a controversy with her.
He addressed himself entirely to Mr.
Harcourt, and it is only fair to say
that gentleman felt thrill Of delight
in seeing his wife snubbed.
81 suppose" said the lady to her
husband, some time afterward that
we shall be compelled to keep this
odious girl, whether we like it or
not?"
you will not make her life too
pleasant said Mr.. Harcourt Now,
Sophia. could you not stretch a point
for once, and be kind to the girl? It's
very annoying, | know. but she can
not help it, poor thingl 1t is hardly
fair to blame her"

MURDERED AN AGED
COUPLE FOR
MONEY
Bodies Discovered Buried Be-
meath a WOOdShed--SuS-
peCt Under Arrest
RAN AWAY But WAS RE-TAkEN
His Housekeeper Had the Prop
erty Of the Deeeased In
Her Possession

Buffalo, N. Y, Dec. 3.-The decom-
posed bodies of Franz Frehr and his
wife, an aged couple who disap-
peared from home, 319 Jefferson ST.,
on November 20, were found today
buried beneath a woodshed in 'the
yard back of their home.
They had been murdered. The
skulls of both had been crushed and
a hammer, such as would have in
nicted the blows, was found in the
shed. Several hairs were found cling
ing to the head of the hammer.
A search for Charles Bonier, who
moved into the house of the Frehrs on
the day of their disappearance had
been begun here before the finding of
the bodies, but the hunt was renewed
by the entire staff of headquarters de-
tectives as soon as word came that the
be dies of the old couple had been
discovered.
On Tuesday Bonier appeared at po-
lice in response to a summons III
a John Doe proceedings regarding the
disappearance of the Frehrs.
The case was adjourned and Bonier
was ordered to appear in court yes
terday but did not come. 1t was
then that the suspicion of foul play
grew stronger with the police, who had
believed up to that time that the old
couple had been taken away by rela-
tives who hoped to inherit their
money.
Descriptions of Bonier were sent
broadcast this morning. Police Super
intendent Bull received a telephone
message from Erie, Pa, stating that
Bonier had been arrested there.
Bonier is 65 years old.
Boniers housekeeper, Louise Lind
holm is in custody in this city.
The police found on her person gold
pieces to the value of $40. The Frehrs
were supposed to have a great deal
of money in gold in the house. The
woman says the money was given her
by Bonier.

which is essentially a court function,
all the members present wearing a
royal order.
Won Buelow entered on the left of
the throne and read the presidents
message to parliament. He said:
His majesty has directed me to ex-
press here his thanks to all those who
have sympathized with his suffering
and to say that their sympathy and
hopes for his recovery have greatly re-
joiced him."
The chancellor then passed to the
economic stage of the country, which
he said still suffered somewhat from
the world wide depr ession which was
unfavorably affecting the imperial fin
ances.
Emphasizing the ever-ircreasing ne
cessity for regulating the financial Sit
uation of the empire with the separate
states, the chancellor rmarked that,
although a radical settlement of the
question was not now feasible, the
government would propose a measure
introducing the most essential re-
forms.
