Since the publication of the d.

same there as he did at the former

Mentzel." he can't be called dog, for
"Waldmann" Is too aristocratic. too
Intelligent, too much loved by his
owner to be spoken of so vulgarly.
But "Waldmann." nevertheless. is a
dog. a Dachshund. and his full title
Is Herr Waldmann Lynn Mentzel.
This aristocratic pet is the property
of Mrs. Alfred F. B. Mentzel. and she

| first made the acquaintance OF the
magpie many years ago In England.
where the bird Is historical charac-
ter. ranking with the English robin.
the blue heron and the peregrine fall
con. In fact, in the days OF falconry.
the magpie was often hawked for In
open. bush-studded country, its strik-
ingly marked plumage enabling the
spectators to easily follow the progress
Of the sport.
Unfortunately. this wonderfully in
teresting and decorative bird Is not
found In the eastern part of the United
States, but In the west he Is repre-
sented by two species. the black-billed
and the yellow-billed magpies.
The black-billed maybe is about 20
inches long, including his tall. which
takes up rather more than half the
total length. The greater part of his
plumage is glossy black. with bronzy
metallic reflections. out the lower
breast and belly are white, and the
scapulars. being also white. form two
conspicuous patches on the wings.
Long streaks of white on the inner
veins Of the primary feathers show
most conspicuously when the bird Is In
flight.
Altogether he Is one OF the most
striking birds to be seen in North
America. That he has not been ex-
terminated is no doubt largely due to
his intelligence. for, like his relatives.
the crow and the Jay, he Is bold
enough to take advantage OF every
thing which Is useful without being
dangerous, but crafty enough, as q
rule, to keep out of trouble.
Another point in his favor is that
he can eat almost anything. and. all
things being equal. the animal which
can eat the greatest variety Of food
will survive the longest. In the win
ter he will eat literally anything. in
Guiding carrion, and whatever he can
steal from his neighbors. In the
spring he fares sumptuously, his bill
of fare being long one. and includ-
ing mice and other small mammals,
small birds, birds eggs and young birds,
crawfish and numerous insects; in the
summer he does the farmer good
turn by eating grasshoppers and grybs
and q very destructive black cricket.
and in the fall he pays himself by
stealing such fruit as he can get away
with without being shot.

/. And how does It happen that Herr
waldmann has his name in the d.
rectory when immunity from the dog

much OF privilege as any canine was
entitled to? It was early last spring
when the directory canvasser called at

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 10.-The coal
famine in Kansas is taking on a
more serious aspect. Dealers in
Topeka announced today that they
were practically out of coal with no
immediate chance of getting more.
The state reform school has only
two days, supply left. Two manu-
featuring concerns were compelled
to close down this morning on ac-
count of a lack of fuel.
At Ottawa, Lawrence and Atchi-
son riots have been narrowly avert
ed duling the past three days when

suffering exists among the poorer
class, because they cannot obtain
enough coal.
1t is alleged that tbs railroads are
confscating a large part Of the coal
that is shipped. They are ready to
reimburse the owners of the coal in
a pecdniary way. but their action
makes the coal famine much more
stringent.
