Should Protect the Birds.

The Barnwell People makes the
simely suggestion that the "sobool
teachers educate their pupils this fall
to spare the smaller birds, the farmers 8
largest friends. Emphasis is being
given the fact that these little crea-
lures do play 80 important part ;n
the agricultural pursuits Of this ceun-
.r7 by the effort of Miss Gould 10 find
bird that will prove an enemy to the
boil weevil, she going on the theory
that every insect is preyed upon by
some bird. The increase in the in
sects that destroy the farmers grow
ing crops is in proportion to the de-
crease in the number of the birds that
would feed upon them. If farmer is
to be protected against the ravages of
these multiplied insects he must
stay shewanton Staying of the little
birds that's taking place all over the
country.
The proper place to teach this very
important lesson is in the home and
in the school. By the reading of a few
selections bearing upon this impor-
tant subject, and by making use Of
many facts that the average child al
ready knows, the teacher car DC much
to awaken an interest in the pupils.
Nor should they fail to emphasize the
further fact that this wanton Staying
of birds should not be carried on on
account Of the #rosgfuiaess of the
habit. This is making the very high
est appeal that can be made, and ev-
e.y teacher should see to it that the
pupils are given the right kind of
teaching along this line. The teach
ing Of child a great moral lesson
such as kind treatment OF helpless
and harmless little birds, and. animals,
if or as much importance as the teach
ing of how to add and multiply-yea,

No Girl Babies In This Family.

A remarkable condition in the fam
lily of Capt. Roesch, master of the
barkentine Wrestler, is reported to
exist. Female children are absolutely
unknown to the men Of the family.
According to story told while
Capt. Roesch was here with his ves-
sci discharging lumber, for genera
lions back every child born to the
family has been male.
Capt. Roesch Of the Wrestler is
one Of four brothers. He has three
children and all Of them are boys.
One Of his brothers had IA children
and another had nine children. All
Of them we're boys. These boys have
also married and have families, but in
every instance the children havc been
males. 1t no recent instance has o
female child been born to the men of
the Roesoh line. Capt. Roesch says
that this remarkable phenomenon has
existed for generations in his family.
He says that it has come to be d fam.
lily tradition that girl child is never
born to the name of Roesch. Hawai-

COi0nelS in Dixie.

1t was stated in our news columns
yesterday that the local camp of the
Army of Tennessee Of Confederate
Veterans to-day passed resolution
abolishing IN its camp all titles borne
by it's members except those which
we're won in the Confederate service,
and calling on other camps and the
United Confederate Veterans to dis
courage in similar manner the pro-
misouous use OF such titles as "gen-
eral, colonel" major" aud "cap-
tain" when the bearers of the titles
we're not entitled to them from mill.
tary point Of view.
That may be commendable move
ment, but it will not be successful.
1t is curious characteristic Of human
nature that men not only love to wear
titles, but love to bestow them, and
whenever a man Ezs procured, by
whatsoever means, title it clings to
aim as bad name clings to @ bad
dog. Once colonel always q colonel,
unless the colonel be promoted to be
general.
There are some men in every COM
munity who seem to the pubic to be
entitled to title, and sooner or later
the title will be bestowed, regardless
Of formalities. Some men are oelled
captain and others colonel aud others
general, regardless Of any military
service, and others are called Judge,
whether or not they are by law enti-
tied to that designation. The people
rule aud they will bsstow their titles
upon whom they will.
Several years ago in one of the Vir-
ginia towns there was kind-hearted
man whom everybody called "Uncle
Billy" One day another citizen,
upon whom the community had by
common consent and most worthily
conferred the title of colonel, asked
Unole Billy how it was he came by
that sobriquet. "Well," said Uncle
Billy, in reply, II suppose I got my
title as you got yours-some darn
fool started it and all the rest of the
folks took it up" Non disputandum
applies to titles as surely as it applies
to tastes.- Richmond, Va, Times

Then il was Auntie Who Spoke.

An Eigath avenue car was bowling
along uptown wheq gust of wind
uncercmoniously lifted a straw hat
from the head Of one Of the male pas
sengers and sent it whirling down a
side street, says the New York Press.
"Oh, look auntie," exclaimed a
small boy on the seat behind, as he
nudged the woman next to him and
pointed at the hatless and bald pa.ed
passenger: "That man lost his hat.
Why don't lie stop the car and go
after it?"
II don't know, DEAR" replied the
woman, unless it is that the straw
hat season is over aud the gentleman
doesn't mind losing it..
"Well, auntie, ID your hat on good
and tight?"
eyes, dear, why do you ask?"
"'Cause if it bowed off it might
teke your wig along with it, and thcu
you d look just like the man wouldn' t
you"
But at this point the little boy 8
auutie whispered something in his ear
that made him stop suddenly, sit up
straight and stop talking.

The Trouble.

ode you know OF the only Irishman
who ever committed suicide?" asked
w. B. Pollard, of Jersey City. who
was at the Fifth Avenue hotel last
night. ''You know it is said that
Irishmen never commit suicide, and
when the argument was advanced in q
crowd Of that nationality he was so
unstrung that he decided to show his
opponents that Irishmen do sometimes
commit a rash act. He accordingly
disappeared, and the man who had
employed him started search. When
he got to the barn he looked up to-
ward the rafters and saw his man
hanging with a rope around his
waist.
"What are you up to, Pat2" he
asked.
"Oi'm hanging myself, begobs," the
Irishman replied.
"Wby don't you put it around your
neok7"
Faith. Oi did, but Oh couldn' t
braythe," was the unsmiling reply Of
the man from the Emerald Isle.

Died with Hands Clasped.

Richmond, Va, Oct. 13.-Miss
Bessie Stone and Robert Gill, who
.eloped from Ashland Tuesday, were
found dead with their hands clssped
near o pond in that vicinity today by
q searching party. A bullet hole in
the head Of each told the story Of sup.
posed double. suicide or murder and
suicide. Miss Stone was shot behind
the ear and Gill in the forehead.
Gill had taken off his coat and vest.
The Indications are that he killed the
girl and then killed himself.
!: Miss Stone left a letter for her pa
rents in which she declared that she
had never done anything amiss or
that she would have been ashamed for
the world to know, and that the res
son for agreeing to die was that her
health was not good and that, not be-
ing allowed to love her s~esSheurt,
life was an utter blank to her. She
asked that she be buried in the same
grave with her lover, request which
it ia understood will be complied.
She asked also that the pistol by
which she met her death should lie on
her coffin until the burial service, and
that st the funeral it be taken in,
instead Of flowers, by che honorary
pail bearer. Young Gill also left s
letter. gs. ~ 8 lt5 g a .lss

During southern tour" said
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., II attend.
ed church one Sunhay morning in q
quaint little wooden meeting house
where the pews were of unpainted
pine boards.
"The minister was good man, a
sincere man, really eloquent man,
but he had contracted somewhere an
unfortunate habit of believing. He
beloved like bull. His voice shook
the rafters, The; sound overwhelmed
the sense and it was often impossible
for the noise, to get at the man 8
meaning.
HE vas especially loud during the
prayer. I never heard such an up
roar as filed the little building while
this southern minister prayed. After
he was through, little girl on my left
gave sigh Of relief and I heard her
whisper to her father:
Father, don't you think that if
he lived nearer to God he wouldn't t
have to talk 80 loud"
