COLDEN CROWN, the wagtail, was
examining limb near his nest
~ ,rrov-a f,ca thai,

with a grave face Less than
three minutes before, while flying up
from the brook where Mrs. Wagtail was
still feeding, he had felt a desire to see
their first egg, and had turned aside to
the nest, as he had already flown up
from the brook and turned aside at least
twenty times since she had deposited it
there that morning.
But to his CONSERVATION the nest was
empty. and the first accusing thoughts
went to the squirrels, and then to a crow
that he had seen circling above the nest;
and then he saw the COnVIctIng claw marks
upon limb close up beside the nest,
and the grief and Indignation on his face
became mingled with one of surprise.
This piece of woods had been selected
for its eXclusivenesS; for they did
not care to begin housekeeping in
noisy or gossiping neighborhood; but UNI
fortunately they had come from a dis
lance, with no leaf notes of introduction
and with no neighborhood acquaintance to
vouch for them, and the eXclusiveness
that they sought had barred them out.
OF all the air travellers they met the cat
birds were the only ones who noticed
them; but their greeting was SO unaffected
and hearty as to take away much of the
sting of the forced isolation.
Gradually they had made their wav
through the barrier of the neighborhood
reserve; and gradually also they had
discovered that the catbirds were not
admitted to the best society. There was
a false note in their nature as we'll as in
their songs, and it kept them separated
from their fellows by a general feeling of
uneasineSS and mistrust.
But through it all, even after they had
made their way into the circle that ig
nored the catbirds utterly, even after
they had learned things that would
almost seem to place the catbirds among
hardened criminals, the wagtails re-
manned true TO their first friends They
invited them to dinner, and went
flying with them in public, and in
every way showed them equal cour-

In connection with the celebration
it is interesting to note that Secre-

Porter are only two Americans who

of the United States to the Paris ex-

Georgia Wants Cheaper Fares.

Atlanta Ga, Aug. 26.-The railroad
commission of Georgia held meeting
today and discussed the matter of
calling on the railroads for a reduc-
ton in passenger fares from three
cents per mile to two cents per mile.
The commissioners give as their prin-
cipaI reason for recommending the
reduction that the railroads have
been extremely lax in the matter OF
improvements. especially in the mat
ter of depots, and that in view of the
inadequate accommodations provided
by lie roads for the comfort and ac-
commodatiOn of their passengers the
belief is expressed that two cents a
aile is a sufficiently high rate to
charge for passenger traffic. 1t is
expected that the railroads will Wig

mendation of the state commission.

sheep within New Mexico having
the disease of scabies must be dipped
Immediately and a second dipping gi-
ven ten days after the first, and that
sheep which do not have scab must
be dipped at least once between now

this order To insure the presence of
an inspector at your place of dip
ping, you should give the secretary

st. Petersburg. Aug. 26-After four
; weeks interval. the Japanese have
resumed their advance against Gener.
al Kuropatlkin's positions. The OPP
posing armies are in contact east
and south of Liao Yang, and fighting
has been in progress since Wednas-
day. The advices at hand are to
meagTe to enable the officials TO
form a correcG opinion as to whethe.'
or not it will result in a general en-
gagement, but the extent and charac
S-ter of the Japanese movement leads
to that conclusion. Since the rains
ceased a week ago. there have been
continued intimations that General
Kuropatkin was about to assume the
offensive, but instead it was the JAP
anese who attacked.
Japanese column thirty thousand
strong was reported on Tuesday to
be marching up the right bank of
the Lao river. which would seem to
indicate that the three Japanese ar
mics are cooperating in enveloping
three sides of Lao Yang. From mea-
gre accounts it appears that General
Kuroki has selected Tantziapudzy as
the point for his attempt to drive the
wedge into Kuropatkin's outer de-
\ fenses at Anping and Lao Dian Sian
which are situated respectively ten
miles northwest and southwest OF
