PHOTOGRAPHIC BIRDS.
The Difficulty Of Gettinr the ..Sn.u.
ON Spoonbills Down in
Florida.

What made me thrill with special
excitement was the sight Of half q
dozen or so of large, 'rosy-pink birds
quietly perched upon the trees just op-
poslte US across the barrier, the rose
ate ,spoonbills on their nesting ground,
says writer in Outing. What a spec
tacle-the dark green mangrove foil
age dotted with ibises of dazzling
whiteness, pink curlews" (the local
name), and blue-tinted herons! I felt
that had here reached the high wa
ter mark of spectacular sights in the
bird world. Wherever may pene-
trate in future wanderings 1 meyer
hope to see anything to surpass or
perhaps to equal that upon which l
then gazed. Years ago such sights
could be found all over Florida. This
is the last remnant and the last place
of refuge Of hosts of innocent, exquis-
lite creatures: slaughtered for a brutal
millinery folly.
So long as kept very quiet the
birds did not madfest much concern at
my presence. Climbing a tree to get
above the underground, I screwed my
4x5 camera to a limb and proceeded to
take pictures of the surrounding birds,
with telephoto attachment and with
long focus single lens. Then, with this
camera and the SKI, 1 followed along
the bayou, hoping to find some way to
cross. Every time I tumbled into a
mudhole or snapped a twig there was
wild confusion. The air. WIS white
with ibises. Crowds Of young ibises
and herons scrambled out from the sea
of nests above us and climbed from
branch to branch or futtered to the
ground and went tapping across the
mud to get out of the way. a

AGAINST DIVORCE.

Following is woman S prescription
against divorces, which is all right as
far as it goes, but it only applies to
husbands.
Never neglect parting kiss when
starting for business. this means'you
and not your wife.
Take you. wife 10 the theatre at
least once a week.
when you buy theatre tickets tel
erh one her and give your wife amp e
time to dress,
Tell your wife at least onte a day
hat you love her. Never compel her
to force this confession from you, Say
Il love YOU of your own free Will,
That's all there is to it. Following
this formula and all will be happi-
ness, despite matrimony, and there
will be no divorces.

A BOOMERANG.

ne following letter to the Evening
World of Oct. 18th shows the i'm
preston made by Mr.. Dayton in
his efforts to get fun ny at Mr.. Walk
er,s expense, upon night thinking
and respectable members of his own
party. His ungentlemanly remarks,
will prove a boomerang to him, in
this county.
Editor The Evening World:
Dear Sir-Along with republi-
can neighbor, l attended the much
advertised meeting at the opera house
last night We both went with the
hope that, after the drawing card, Mr..
TAFT, had given us his views upon the
Philippine question, our present Con-
gresham, Mr.. Dayton, would en-
tighten us upon some ofthe questions
effecting our state and district. We
were sadly disappointed. His ges lures
and grimaces were rather amusing.
but if we had wanted anu sement we
wovld have waited until tonight, 70,
then there will be people upon the
st age who are paid to make funny
faces ond say funny things.
As to his criticism OF his opponent
Hon. Stuart w. Walker, to say the
least, he showed very poor taste in tax
ing it upon himself to tell the people
among W hom Mr.. Walker was born
and reared what manner OF man he is
In common with others who heard Mr..
Dayton, was disappointed in him.
If he thinks to stem the tide which is
strong against him in this town and
county by endeavoring to belittle
Rerkeley's candidate, he misju1ges
our people.
We who know Mr.. Walker know
that he would not suffer by compari-
son with his critic at any time OF
place.
In the past Berkeley comfy has Of
fered to the republican party better
congressional timber than they have
In Mr.. Dayton-and still has some
lett. After this fight sh all hope for
the rank and file Of the party to have
a word in the selection of the dele,
gates they will not re-electiMr. Day
ton. We know but one way now to
get rid of him, and will avail our
selves of it In November.
