tured. This can always be accepted as
untrue. These beautiful sprays have
never yet been successfully initiated
All that are offered for sale have been
torn from the warm bodies of the
smaller white herons. Even the stiff
plumes known to milliners as ''stubs"
are not manufactured. They are taken
from the larger species of white her
ons
Heron sprays are frequently sold as
"ospreys." According to the Audubon
societies this is a trade name used to
conceal the fact that heron plumes are
being handled commercially.
Both 'aigrettes' and stubs" are
dyed various colors, especially black:
however, no matter what is the tint of
the plume when offered for sale at the
milliner's, its original color when on
the back of the heron was white; the
artificial color is merely in response
to the dictates of fashion.
1t is conceded that the sale of
aigrettes from the American bird is
prohibited, but it is claimed that there
are no laws that prevent the sale of
imported goods. Granting that this
may be the case, how is the buyer to
tell whether the goods are from Ameri-
can or old world herons? The most
expert ornithologists cannot separate
the plumes after they are taken from
the birds.
The heron family, although sadly
thinned out in numbers, is distributed
over large portion of the globe. Their
food consists of small fish aquatic In
sects, crawfish and living things found
along the shores and in swamps
Two varieties of this exquisite bird
are native to America-the snowy her

HE KAISER
IS HAVING TROUBLES OF HIS OWN
AND is DISPLEAsED WITH
SOMEloF HIS MINISTERS.

BERLIN, May lit is learned that
the. Kaiser will be greatly disappointed
with the actions of some of his minis.
ters, especially with regard TO suppress
ing the Heroes uprising in German
Southwest Africa.
When His Majesty returned from
his Mediterranean trip he showed his
displeasure with the ministerial blum
ders, by issuing orders without con,
sulting either the Colonial or Marine
Ministers.
General Trotha received modiica-
ton of his appointment as Chief of the
troops in Southwest Africa in tele-
gram from the Kaiser himself, which
read:
You are TO go to Southwest Africa
a S communicative chief y
The ministers were not informed of
this until Trotha himself told them Of
it.
When the Kaiser was leaving for
his tour of South and West Germany
he again gave expression to his feel
ings, by remarking to Imperial Chan
cellor Won Bue1ow:
81 wonder what stupid ties those
blockheads will perpetrate while |
am away this time
The public is angry at the office
management of the campaign and
the rebellious Heroes and warmly ap-
plautls the Kaiser for taking the af-
fairs into his own hands.

NESSED-MOTHE AND

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 17-With
a pretty little four-year-old blonde
girl bound to her body with bands OF
linen, a handsome woman, apparently
25 or 80 years old, was seen to Leap
over the Rich street bridge into the
Scioto river at $50 this morning. l..
K Harding. an Adams Express waS-
on driver, Charles Sigman, driver OF
an ice wagon, were approaching from
opposite ends of the bridge. Ihey
were attracted by the demonstrations
of affection between the woman and
the. child as the supposed mother
stood against the railing guarding the
bridge sidewalk at the outer edge.
with the little girl in a sitting position
on the rail. The woman was kissing
the child and the little girls face was
beaming with smiles as she chuckled
and nestled her little face and faxe'i
curls among the raven locks of the
woman.
Then there suddenly came a change
in the expression on the woman S race
from smiles to fixed determination,
and as the shadow spread over her
countenance she, like a flash, mounted
the guard rail and threw herself and
the pinioned child into the waters,
some thirty-five feet below. The
driver of the ice wagon and the driver
OF the transfer wagon leaped from
their seats and rushed over an abuts
ment, plunged into the river and swan.
from opposite shores toward the cen
ter OF the stream to attempt to res
cue the woman and child. At the ap-
proach of succor, the woman became
as a tigress at bay and fought the
two men with apparent superhuman
strength So ferocious was her de-
tense that to save their own lives, the
two men had to put back to shore and
allow the woman and child go down
to death.
Their bodies were recovered from
the river few minutes after the wo-
man and child were drowned. Both
