those spotless birds, whose dainty grace was heightened by contrast with the rude platforms which held their pale blue eggs or awkward nestlings: sight not to be seen in Florida to- day
 About a week later. my friend was passing within a mile of this heronry, when he heard the report of a gun. It came from the direction of the little pond. and as it was quickly followed by several other reports, he hurried to the spot, to find cut what the matter was. AS he went along, many more guns were discharged, and when he reached the heronry. he saw as sad a sight as ever met the eyes of a lover of birds. The shores of the little pond were strewp with the white bodies of herons, some already dead, and others struggnng with the pain of wounds from from which trickled the blood which dyed their snowy plumage. 9th CTS still had evidently been dead for a day or two, for the flies arose from them in clouds. On the back of each of these was a large space. clear of feathers and covered with dried blood showing whence had been torn the graceful plumes, donned for a bridal. 4 few wounded herons lay Tapping in the water. which here and there was streaked with red. At different points along the shore and among the trees were stationed the four men who had committed this crime. Now and then, DF bo e, o;,,;, |, ful to her young. would come flying over the ruined city, and alight upon some lookout perch before going to the nest with food This was the moment the men were waiting for, and the bang of the gun was nearly always follow ed by the thump of the birds body as 1 it struck the ground. There was noth- ing to be done. These men were plume Hunters" acting under the protection of the laws of Florida; hireling slaugh- terhouse butchers directly in the en- ploy of large millinery establishments and indirectly in the employ of soft voiced women who would shudder if they accidentally stepped upon a worm
 Sick at heart at the horror of the sight. and at the hopelessness of pro- l test my friend turned away But next day he returned to the scene that he might know all the facts The men were gone; their bloody task was done, but the pitiful carcasses of their vic tims still lay rotting in the sun. All but one, for a faint rustic called atten- tion to a bird. mangled and bleeding but still alive, gasping out its last hour in agony. All the previous night tha; bird had lain, doubtless suffering the tortures of the damned. that a woman might declare herself in the fashion | by Haunting it's dead plumes upon her head. Quickly putting the suffering creature out of it's misery my friend turned his attention 10 other sounds which came from the direction of the rookery itself. In some of the nest: lay the pale blue eggs, now cold ant lifeless. and in others tiny young which had quickly perished after their par ents had ceased 10 provide for them But from several came the clamor o more advanced nestlings. which wer, literally starving to death, simply be cause the men who slaughtered thei

WHAT THE KING EATS.
Whats Fit for Him.

A Massachusetts lady who has been through the mill with the trials of the usual housekeeper and mother relates an interesting incident that occurred not long ago. She says:
 T can with all truthfulness say that Grape-Nuts is the most beneficial of all cereal foods in my family young as well as old. It is food and medicine both to us A few mornings ago at breakfast my little boy said:
 Mamma, does the king eat Grape Nuts very morning.
 Il smiled and told him did not know but that thought Grape-Nuts certainly made a delicious dish, fit for king. " Cts a fact that the king of England and the German emperor both eat Grape Nuts)
 'I find that by the constant use of Grape-Nuts not only as morning cereal but also in buildings. salads, etc. made after the delicious recipes found in the little book in each package it is proving to be a great nerve food for me. besides having completely cured long standing case of indigestion" Name given by Postum Go. Battle Creek. Mich,
 There is no doubt Grape-Nuts is the most scientific food in the world.
 Ten days trial of this proper food in place oI improper food will show in steady, strong nerves, sharper brain and the power to go" longer and further and accomplish more. There's a reason 0Ok in each nlSo for the famOuS little book, "The Road to Melville"

Kept Anothers Secret.

Bill Fisher, of Holton, bought a horse a short time ago It was a fir 2 actor and had a good color. When Bill led it into the barn he discovered that it was blind. A few days later Bin hitched the horse up and drove him around. friend of his got stuck on the animal and asked Bill what he would take for it.
 Well, that horse cost me $165," said Bill. "I always like to make little on a horse trade. If you want the horse you can have him for $l75. The friend got in and drove around town and then bought the horse. That even ing he also discovered that the horse was blind He met Bill on the street the next day.
 Why didn't you tell me that horse was blind?" he asked Bill.
 Well. I'll tell you why, said Bill. The man l bought him of didn't say anything about it. and l took it that he didn't want anybody to know it."-- Kansas City Journal

WEARING A|GRETTES
WOMEN WHO Dc 8 CONSTITUTE
 A THIRD SEX.
A Pathetic Story of the Extermination of a Flock of Snowy Herons to Crafty Feminine
 Vanity.

Tn the humble opinion of some of us the three sexes no longer consist, as Sydney Smith tor somebody elsel sug- gested, of men, women and clergy men," but of men, women and the women who wear aigrettes." The lines which separate them are not sharply defined. As we all know, some men are exceedingly ladylike, and some women are so mannish in manner and dress as to be difficult of Identification. In the same way, it is occasionally en who wear the aigrettes" for wom- an, but the types" are now unmistak- able, always.
 Let me tell you tragic little story which was told to me by a friend who some years ago spent a large part of his time in Florida. He was wander ing in a quiet swamp, when he came upon a colony of snowy herons.
 Many of the beautiful birds were walking along the shore of the pond and many others were sitting on their nests. At his approach. the sitting birds arose, white and silent as grea. snowfakes lifted by the wind, and alighting in the trees which surrounded the pond. they stood anxiously watch ing the intruder. Their dazzling beauty was enhanced by their bridal robes, formed of long, airy plumes which stretched in graceful curves from be- tween the shoulders, down over the back and beyond the tail, the tips rounding upward and backward with subtle turn. It was wondrous sight,

COULD HEAR IN GERMAN.
A Horse That Was Not Used to In- structions in Any Other
 Language.

"I bought a horse at an auction not long ago, said an Eighth avenue butcher, according to the New York Press, and l thought 1 had got bargain until l tired him a few days; then l concluded that | had been stuck. ne horse was sound, had good sight, but he would not obey commands. He would not stop when the driver said 'Whoa! nor start when he sad Git up,' The animal seemed to be deaf, and the first chance got 1 sold him to I German baker at q sacrifice
 Shortly after that l met the baker. and he sheok my hand cordially and expressed himself as being very much pleased with the horse l had sold him. 1 wondered at this and asked if the horse seemed to have any difficulty in hearing. To my surprise, the baker said the horse could hear as well as any horse he ever had.
 Does he stop when you say Whoa and start when you say Cit upE' 1 asked
 Oh no!' exclaimed the baker, I don't say dot, l talks to him in German
 That horse must have belonged to a German before he was put up at suction. That IS the only way l can account for hls aetl0ns.'

|. s. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA
 Recommends Pe-rIl-na For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble.
CataHh of the Stomach is Generally Called Dyspepsia Something tO Produce Artificial Diges-
 iiOn is Generally Taken.
Hence, PepSin, PdnCreatin and a Host of other Digestive Remedies
 Have Been invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the Seat of the Difficulty, Which
 is Really CataTIh.

TX. T. s. Senator NJ. C. Butler from l. South Carolina, was Senator from
 that state for two terms. In q re- cent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co.,, from Washington, D. C., says:
 "Ican recommend Peruna for dys- pepsia and stomach trouble. I have been using your medicine for 2 shOrf period snd | feel very much relieved. Iris indeed q w0Hde rfUI medicine be- sides q good ionic. "---M. (. Butler.
 The only rational way to cure dyspep- sia is to remove the catarrh. Peruna cures catarrh. Peruna does not produce artificial digestion. 1tcures catarrh and leaves the stomach to perform digestion in a natural way. This is vastly better and safer than resorting to artificial methods or narcotics.
 Peruna has cured more cases of dys- pepsia than all other remedies com bined, simply because it cures catarrh wherever located. If eatarrh is located in the head. Peruna cures it. If catarrh has fastened itself in the throat or bronchial tubes, Peruna cures it. When catarrh becomes settled in the stomach, Peruna cures it, as well in this location as in any other.
 Peruna is not simply remedy for dyspepsia. Peruna is a catarrh remedy. Peruna cnres dyspepsia because it is generally dependent upon catarrh.
