Peck in the wake of three traction en-

temperature was less favorable than

Nothing But a Chicken.

This is the season when the amateur
botanist and ornithologist get chance
to air their knowledge before the poor
ignoramus who has never taken UP the
study Of flowers and girds. A Chicago
woman took advantage OF her oppor-
tunity recently to her own discontinue.
The Chicago Record Herald tells the
story that on one of her bird walks"
she was accompanied by a Chicago
artist Of the masculine persuasion,
whose early days had been passed far
from town. The young man listened
to her impromptu lectures as one deep
ly interested.
An unprejudiced observer might,
however, have detected an occasional
eye twinkle as he looked and listened
In obedience to her eager and varied
directions. And by and by he no longer
could resist the temptation to give her
mighty start.
"Oh, see, see, Mr.. So-and-So," she
cried pointing out small, chubby
bird just then crossing the rural road
way. isn't that a perfect specimen
Of the field partridge? Just fancy
But the young man was regarding
her with an expression Of unmitigated
amusement and he sat down by the
roadside to laugh.
II beg your pardon" he explained
the fit Of irrepressible merriment con-
ciuded, "but really couldn't help it.

The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1904-08-10

As the island of Haiti was fashioned by nature it
is garden spot. AS it is governed under the false
appellation of republic it is plague spot, and has
been for generations, says the Commercial Tribune.
The turmoils of the South American republics are
as sweet peace, compared with the troubles in the
msgoverned island of Haiti More than once foreign
governments have been compelled to interfere even
to the sinking of predatory Haytien gunboats-a
Germany did and secured peace for full week
Apparently the troubles now rendng the island are
of the most serious character. The violent address
of President Nord accentuates them and the serious
consequences likely to ensue to foreigners of whom
many are American citizens. His declaration. that
the rate Of exchange had been forced up to exorb-
tant rates by foreign residents as plot against his
government was followed by rioting and by troops
looting the stores Of the foreign merchants The
American public will cordially commend the prompt
action of President Roosevelt in detaching a number
of war vessels of the South Pacific fleet, with orders
to proceed at full speed, to Port au Prince and to
act as the situation and its emergencies may require
Valuable as the trade and commerce of Haiti un-
doubtedly is it would be immeasuraby increased by
the establishment of a strong and wise government
in the isand and to that conclusion the world must
come at last In any event. the interests of American
residents of the island will be fully protected, even
if the landing of American marines be required and
the situation foreshadows that requirement

NEWSPAPERS AND CRIME.

Three thousand years ago the wise men of the
world were moralizing on the futility of crime and
the fate Of the criminal, says the Cleveland Plain
dealer. They pointed out in words which live today
the danger and destruction which awaited the wicked
Job and David and SOlOman and Socrates and Pluto
and Confucus and many others were continually
sending out warnings against the men who violated
the laws of God and men, and pointing out the mis-
cradle fate which awaited those who dared all and
