There is Said to be Some Truth in This
.Tale. Mrs. c., of Towson, hit upon new
idea on Tuesday of last week, when she want
ed to take in the shopping district with her
bouncing baby boy. The child is of the heavy
weight class and one whom the ladies exclaim :
.sIsr't he sweet child" Now, to carry him
through the shopping district in one arm and
carry the purchases of the day in the other
WOULD be quite task, SO the mother thought
was not a folding go-cart, but full-hedged
carriage.
The car was unoccupied when she boarded it
at Towson, and the conductor did not notice
the carriage until it had been placed upon the
platform. When he did see it he thought the
lady was only going a short distance and made
no objection, but when the city was reached
and the platform became crowded the frail
thing was pushed about until it was in danger
of being crushed. II got through uninjured,
and the shopping tour was begun with baby
in the carriage. The youngster enjoyed it, and
so did the mother.
Now, to 90 home. 1t was about o'clock
and the cars were crowded. She boarded one
Of the cars of the Edmondson avenue line and
asked for a transfer at Belair market. The
conductor informed her that the carriage could
not be placed on the car. She asked a passen-
ger to put the carriage on for her, saying, 1.-THE
conductor on Towson car let me bring the
carriage in, and l must take it home. You put
the carriage on the car" The carriage was
put on.
At the Belair market Mrs. c. amused herself
and others by wheeling the child up and down
the sidewalk. The car came at last crowded
like the Others but the motorman knew the
lady. He put the carriage on the front plat,
form and landed all safely in Towson.-Odd

Snow and the Birds.-Mr. Oregon Milton
Dennis, secretary of the Maryland Game and
Fish Protective Association, speaking of the
present severe weather and the birds on Mon
day said
HSnow has fallen in great volumes over the
State, and our association now makes an earn
est appeal to farmers and others to aid the
birds. Fortunately there have been no big
snowdrifts because the winds were not high
enough, but there was enough snow to cover
all the natural food growth.
sAny farmer or others who find birds in
distress and will feed them until they are able
to care for themselves will, upon sending
vouchers to State Game Warden John W..
Avirett Cumberland, Md, be reimbursed for
the amount expended for the food"

at the Belair road and only narrow driveway
gives access to several places west Of the road.

To Beautify Schools.-The minutes of the
Maryland Teachers Association, which met in
its thirty-seventh annual session at Ocean City
last July, have been published in pamphlet
form. One of the interesting chapters deals
with the report of the committee on aesthetics,
submitted by Mr.. w. s. Grouse of Caroline
county. This committee treats of Maryland
schools as things of beauty as well as useful
ness. The report says that there is DISPOSE
ton to provide beautiful things and surround
ings for the children in the schools. and many
have been led to recognize the possibility of
awakening and gratifying the aesthetice inter-
est by much of the routine of the schoolroom.
This committees report was discussed after
its reading from two points of view-the out
side and the inside of the classroom. Trees
and flowers and graceful lawns for the outside
were suggested as conducive to the cultivation
of love of the beautiful in children and, in
addition, to symmetry of arrangement, clean
illness and order pictures were suggested as
serving the purpose most satisfactorily for the
inside. Pictures have been found to have q
most satisfactory influence upon the artistic
tastes of children, especially when they are ex-
planned to them and stories told about the ar
lists and the interesting incidents of their lives
and work. III K

Chief Judge David Fowler.-The Belair
1dEgis of last week said 1.-THE fifteen-year term
of Hon. David Fowler Chief Judge of the
Third judicial Circuit expired in November,
and he was reappointed for one year by Gov
ernor Warfield. His successor will be chosen
at the November election, 1905, and Judge
Fowler is a candidate for reelection.
During the time that he has been on the
bench Judge Fowler has been most assidu-
GUS worker. Learned in the law when be DOM
ed the ermine, he has given the best part of
his life to the careful study of the high posi-
ton in which he has been placed by his con-
stituency. He is recognized by his fellow
workers on the bench of our Court of our Last
Resort as being one of the best equipped MEM
bers of the States judiciary. His opinions,
always models of good. pure English, show a
mind skilled in the law and possessing the abil-
ity of imparting it to others.
''Best of all, Judge Fowler is gentleman.
Not in the way of attempting to impress others
with his importance or high standing, but in
.the truer sense of showing the highest regard
for the feelings of his fellow man. Whether
on or off the bench, everyone receives the
kindliest and courtliest consideration. His
manner is always deferential, kind but firm.
This rare trait, combined with his legal lore
makes it most desirable that he should remain
on the bench as long time as his years will
allow. He has the most cordial endorsement
of the people of this county, and we hope to
see him reelected"

Humane Persons Should Look After the
the Birds.-Rev. ]. L. Straughn, pastor of
Baltimore Circuit NJ. P. Church, writes as fol-
lows to The UNION:
"Gentlemen will you give space for the
publication of letter from the State Game
Warden, which will explain itself2 The i'm
portance of caring for the birds during the
severe weather will be appreciated by every
thoughtful person. Snow has fallen through
out the entire State, with prospect of its re-
manning on the ground until spring Unless
something is done to feed and protect the birds
but few Of them will survive the rigors of the
winter. Partridges are very helpless. They
will seek shelter under bush and die without
attempting to find food. Those who know of
their hiding should carry them something to
eat. The State Game Warden will pay for
the grain that is fed to them. Any persons
known to kill birds. rabbits or squirrels by TAX
ing advantage of their hunger, or tracking
them in the snow, should be severely punished.
IF farmers will clear away a small space of
ground near their barns and will spread chat,
wheat screenings or bran on it they will greatly
help the Game Wardens in their work. They
should also see to it that the boys do not mo-
lest the birds that feed about their barns"

The True Christmas Spirit.-In every man
there is the spirit of the boy that once DOM
mated him, says the Four Track Nevs. 1t
never entirely dies out. In the coldly COM
mercial man, whose idol is the dollar mark,
the boy spirit lies dormant, but it is there new
ertheess, and can be aroused if it is only APP
pealed to in the right way.
At this, the Christmas season, every man
should try to forget his stern self and be a boy
again. Cut all the restraints and let the boy
nature have full sweep, for this is what Long
fellow would call 1.-THE children's hour" The
man who does not put away all selfishness and
live the spirit of the Christmas time is an
enemy to himself and to society. Let the mer-
ry Christmas spirit be unanimous.
