Our Oriole

zone day friend brought in to my
sister, who was known to be very
successful in her treatment of birds,
young female oriole with long blue
legs. and brownish yellow plumage,'
writes Mary E. Sill in Animal World.
I'VE put her into cage and hung it
out of the second story window.
do not know how it happened, but
down fell cage and bird into the area
below. The oriole was not injured,
no wings or legs broken, but it had
tainted away from fright and was
quite unconscious. We brought her to
with few drops Of wine on sponge
cake, but the shock to her nervous
system was so great that on two
subsequent occasions she relapsed
into Inconsistencies, once when she
was in my sisters lap. Perhaps she
was shamming, for in these attacks
she was always revived with sponge
cake and wine, which she became so
fond of that she would not touch
sponge cake unless 1t had wine on 1t.
We had this bird only a short time
flexible sw't"h and setting the bird
on it would pass it along the face OF
the garden terrace so that the oriole
could pick bugs and other insects out
Of the grass; if necessary she would
hang by one leg head downwards In
order to reach an especially tempting
bug or miller Then she would fly
iv,to inb oh
return To the switch if held out to
her, Or finally into her cage. In ali
t our experience with birds I never
knew Of any other that could be taken
out into the open garden and allowed
70 fly, and then return to the cage
! again. She was better than any fly
paper, for if taken to the window she
would soon clear it of flies. Some
times she was absent for several
hours, and then the house,naid work
ing by the open window, or my father
reading his paper on the piazza, would
hear loud announcing ch,rrup, as il
TO say, Here I am" and there she
was, at his elbow or on the window
seat. Once she disappeared for two
Whole days, and we had about given
up expecting to see her again when
back she came, but with her little
breast all covered, with stains of red.
oh, we cried. some one has shot
her, or thrown a stone at her; see
the blood!" But itfwas net blood at
all, but raspberry juice. The little
rogue had been picnicking in black
raspberry patch, and had come home
ali stained with the juice, just as a
little girl might get jam sor Jelly on
her apron. At last she did not come
back. Il expect she met a handsome
young fellow in fine orange and
black coat who invited her to go and
help him build a nest and be his little

Tremblingly she put her arms

another terrific crash Of thunder and
she shrank against him instinctively

not know that they were full OF tears

GRANTS VALUABLE FRANCHISE
GuiIford's Agreement With the High
Point Inter- Urban Traction Com
panY.
Especial to News and Observer. }

] loD
Greensboro, N. c., Sept. Is At a
special meeting of the Board or Coun-
| ty commissioners here this morning
| annlication was made for franchise
over the public roads of the county by
the High Point Inter-Urban Traction
Company.
After statements made by Messrs.
Westcott Robinson, of High Point, ana
| D. H. Blair, of Winston-Salem, attor-
neys for the corporation, ana Dy
prominent capitalists connected with
| it, the board granted the franchise,
after amendment suggested by County
Attorney John S. Wilson, who had
thoroughly inspected its provisions and
made such amendments as were deem
ed necessary for the protection of the
| county The Secretary of State has al
ready granted charter, the incorpor-
ators being w. A. Heller of Danville,
Pa; r. A. Wheeler, J. II. Mills and
r. Fl. Wheeler, of High Point.
The city of High Point has granted
franchise TO the company for use of
its streets and the company put up a
forfeit of $500 to begin work within
the next six months. In the franchise
granted by the board here today the
company obligated to begin work in
six months and to have an electric car
line in operation from High point to
Greensboro within three years, upon
penalty of forfeiture of it's franchise
alt is proposed to have q central
plant at High Point, and construct
electric lines from there to Greensboro,
and from there to Winston-Salem,
about fifteen miles each way. The
company is capitalized at 100000.
with paid up subscription of $300.0 600
From documents submitted today
and representations made by men con-
nected with the enterprise who are of
unquestionable business character and
ability it seems now highly probable
that in few years the thriving cities
of High Point, Winston-Salem and
Greensboro will be closely connected
by trolley, and the country between
those points have an advantage over
any other rural community in North
Carolina

solute. and with more uniform prices
the manufacturers as we'll as the
growers will enjoy greater pros
Derity.
Last year the manufacturers as a
class took an essentially wrong po-
stion on the price question. In
their effort to force down prices of
the raw material they convinced the
consumers that prices were too high
and naturally this lessened the pur-
chase of goods. 1t is difficult to UNI
derstand how any careful investigator
of the subject could have been de-
ceived into believing that we had
not entered upon q period of higher
priced cotton and that the specula-
tive excitement was but feature of
this condition. and not the cause. In
stead of seei tginhs, however. many
manufacturers filled the world with
statements that there was no ground
for high priced cotton, and that the
advance was due to speculation or
gambling" and in doing this they
practically compelled buyers of dry
goods to hold off and wait for the
promised decline. That prices were
forced too high and too rapidly is
true, and the Manufacturers Record
warned the public at the time. but
the world is now compelled to ad-
Just itself to higher priced cotton

of probably 35 miles an hour Trees
are blown down on ali sides and limbs
and foliage cover the ground every

phone wires here are down in many
places causing confusion and some
uneasines. The greatest damage done
