Why BIRDS GO SOUTH.

81 once asked confirmed old bache'
lor,' says Mr.. Craig S. Thoms in the
NEW IDEA WoMAN's MAGAZINE for No
yemher, "why he did not marry, to
which he replied. 1 have got :en over
wanting to- Is there tide in the af
fairs OF birds for a certain period in the
autumn which draws them southward?
And if the fall-be pleasant, as was that
of 1894, and they remain longer than
usual. does this tide of inclination pass
away and leave them stranded with us
for the winter? Or, when they have
stayed during long, pleasant autumn,
do they reason like the old man who
said that il would not pay for him to
get false teeth now, that his time was
too short?
1T is usually thought that the deter
mining factor in the birds going or
staying is not that of cold, but of food:
and for this there is doubtless consider
able evidence. Yet, for the evidence
to be conclusive, it would need to be
shown that the food is lacking when
they go forth and leave us, as well as
present when they stay throughout the
year.
"In the autumn of 1904, in the groves
which skirt the rivers in South Dakota,
wild grapes were usually abundant.
The autumn was so long and dry that
they cured upon the vines. and were
sweet, somewhat juicy. and very palat-
able during the entire winter. In these
groves found companies of Wilson's
bluebirds in early January. when the
mercury stood between eight and ten
dagrees below zero. The fiickers also
were numerous, though it is not un-
common for few of them to winter in
the North.

FACES $4,000 DEFICIT
PARK BOARD HAS ALREADY
SPENT $4,000 AND rs LIABLE
FOR $4,000 MORE. ~ {. ,

At the present time the park board
faces a deficit of $4,000, and no one
seems to know why. The park com
missioners estimated an income Of $lS4,-
900. This figure was conservative. The
board already has spent $4,000 and is
liable for about $4,000 more from this
years funds. One item is SIT 900 for
interest on park bonds and the other
about $4,000 of unpaid bills for va
rious purposes. This makes total
disbursement of 100000, or practically
$4,000 in excess Of the estimated re-
ceipts. The last installment of taxes
has not vet been turned over to the
park board and it may be much larger
than was expected, but that it will be
enough to let the park board out with a
clean balance sheet is doubted,
The board has spent more than usual
on permanent improvements, one big
item being the new pavilion at Mime
haha park, Kenwood boulevard was
raised and there we're other unusual eX-
penses.
For one reason or other the item OF
maintenance came much higher than was
estimated and apparently more work
was planned than the commissioners
realized, so that the board drifted into
a deficit quite innocently.
The financial statement was presented
to the board at it's meeting this after
noon and surprised every member with
out exception. Unfortunately there is
nothing on which the board can retrench
from now until the end of the year, as
the parks are all closed and all work
ended

dered switched onto an obscure side
track where she would not be disturbed
The diva makes it rule to talk as
little as possible on the day she is. to
sing in public, for her voice-like all
wonderful voices-is extremely sensi-
tive to use in talking. She can sing for
hours without. firing, but to talk is diff.
ferent Altho American by birth the

"The Americans have been most kind
to me on this, my first concert tour in
this country,'' She said. Everywhere
they have welcomed me with huge au-
diences and great enthusiasm. The west
is a revelation and surprise to me.
Your fine city here is typical west
ern metropolis, and it will be very
great pleasure for me to sing here. In
deed, have learned with great pleas

AFTER
INCREASE In PAY
DEMAND AGGREGATE RAISE OF
$4,000 ANNUALLY.
Employees of Board Of Education, in
Strong Organization, Ask for Is Per
Cent Increase Teachers Request Pay
for Extra Work Done in the After
noon.< Z. A& - -: r

49, L. III
Insistent demands for increased pay
that in the aggregate represents
greater sum than has ever been asked
by school employees at one time, will
form an important topic for considera
ton at a meeting, tonight of the COM
mittee On teachers, janitors and salaries
Of the board of. education. -
The janitors are the chief factors in
the campaign for increased, pay. They
have perfected q strong organization,
including every man in the service Of
the board, and make the demand as an
organization. Their request amounts to
an increase of nearly $4,000, or. about
Is per cent, They now receive from
500 to $3.50 a month, according to the
size of the schools. They. are paid
thruout the year, being retained during
the three vacation months in the sum
mer. Additional surprise was aroused
by the demand, for the reason that the
pay. OF janitors was substantially in
creased only few years ago. H. a,
The other request: for an increase
comes from teachers who are compelled
! to work in the afternoon. They set nc
figure, but ask pay for overtime spent
in the service of the schools.
Tho the janitors are understood tc
have been organized for some time, the
present demand is the first they have
made as an organization. How it will
be treated by the board cannot be
stated. - = -

BORE THRU WALLS
TO ENTER I STORE.
BOLD THIEVES GET LOAD OF
VALUABLE FURs.
Effect Entrance to A.. Zekmar's Store
by Cutting Noisily Thru Two Walls
and Escape With sealskins Valued
at ,oOo-Choice of Stock Shows
They Are Experts in Fur.

By cutting their way thru the walls
Of two store buildings, thieves were
able to enter A. Zekman's fur store, 20
Fifth street 5, Saturday night and car.
ny off valuable sealskins worth more
than $4,000. zsr7, Ill.,.
The robbery was an unusually daring
one and the method employed made
necessary a great deal of noise. The
burglars first entered the vacant build
ing formerly occupied by the Artistic
Shining parlors at 10 Fifth street s.
From a..toilet room in this building
they sawed a square hole thru the wall
into the store occupied by the Wolpert
Tea q Coffee company. Then hiding
behind a large Japanese screen they
cut their way into the Zekman@ store.
The three stores are in the same bulld:
ing and the walls are CONSTRUCTED en-
tirely of wood and plaster. "&
Once in the store, the thieves worked
deliberately and the results show that
they are not strangers TO the fur bust
ness. Only the best Of the stock was
taken. This consisted mostly Of flaw
less sealskins and otter garments made
up and ready for sale. A bundle OF
raw skins, valued at several hundred
dollars, was also taken The plumber
was carried thru. the holes made by the
saw and loaded into "a light wagon
which was backed up to the rear door
The burglary was not. discovered I'm
til yesterday morning, when Mr.. Eek
man came down to the store to lool
over his stock. He Immediately mott
fed the, police. and suspected persons
are being looked for. 1t is thought
however, that the men: have left town
by this time, as they could not dispos'
Of the stolen goods here. Chicago is tn
most popular market with the flu
thieves, and the police there have beer
notified to look out for the skins.
The fur stock was insured by MI
Zekman for $1,000.

CONCERT PROMOTERS

''This is bad town, a mighty bad

ISOLATED Charities, to DR.. J. R: Bowen,
professional "charity, ccncert'' pro
moter, today. eve don It want to do
anything unkind or uncharitable to you,
doctor, and we trust we won't have to.
Last year we had to run out about ten
different men. who were working your
game. You are the first man in this
line of business who has struck this
town since. You must call off your
tlcket-sellers at once.'
DR.. j. r. Bowen, his wife and three
very attractive young women came to
Minneapolis a. week ago. By little
persuasive talk the "doctor' succeeded
in purchasing for $lO 10 per cent Of
the money received an the advance role
and one-half the door sales, the right to
use the name of the Ladies' Aid society
of the House of Faith church in pro
noting a musical entertainment to be
given at Y. M. G.. A. hall.
He engaged certain minor local tai
ent, secured Kimball hall and sent out
his ticket sellers to three very attrac-
tive young women, to dispense of tick
cts among the business men at 81 each.
The cases in which the combined force
of an appeal to the victim s charitable
instincts and the winning ways of the
pIoIIy JlckoG NeuuefS IdlleQ TO e&JfdCC
the desired dollar have been few and
far between. The concert was not adj
vertised, but the girls were depended
on to sell the tickets.
The, scene between Mr.. Solenbergel
and Dr.. Bowen today was dramatic. One
by one the manager Of the association
laid his cards on the table. AS the
doctor made some attempt to mattel
them, he would sho wa little more Of
the strength of the hand he held unit
the promoter lay down and agreed ;tt
stop his ticket sellers and render al
account for every cent taken in.

this, said Manager Solenberger. "Yor

morning This illustrates the effort be-
