An Odd Occupation.

Collecting wild birds and animals for
GEOLOGICAL gardens is certainly an
unique occupation for a woman, yet
Mrs. C. F Latham, of Grant, Florida,
seems to thoroughly enjoy it Her
home has been in that locality for
twenty years, and she has had some
exciting as well as interesting expert
ence. Not long since. after securing
the specimens for an order, the num-
Der of birds was cut down, and Mrs.
Latham had three big blue herons and
ten white ibis which refused to leave
her dooryard when liberated. and for a
long time ate with the family cat and
hens. Though sixty-five years old.
Mrs. Latham lives mostly out of doors
and on the water.-The Pilgrim.

AlACKLIN AGAIN APPEARS.
ROssville Man Who Lost His Money
Is Himself in Jail.

Jessie Grady the woman arrested
Friday night for robbing Frank Mack
lin, ROssville farmer, was released
Saturday because Macklin had left
town instead of staying to prosecute
her. Her attorney told the police that
the case had been settled, and she
was released. Ten dollars which she
had whsn arrested was turned over to
the attorney, and Sunday Macklin
came to the station and claimed the
money. He said that ie was the money
stolen from him by r-S woman, and
that no one had settled with him. The
police asked him why he had left after
promising to swear out q state war
rant for the woman. His answer was
not satisfactory, and they threw him
into jail Then the woman was hunt
ed up and re-arrested, and if Macklin
wants to make his peace with the
police he will have to fulfill his prom
Use and secure the warrant.
Macklin was taken to the Wilder
hotel on West Fifth street opposite
the county Jail, in a hack. He was so
drunk that he required assistance to
get up stairs, and the officers, looking
from the police station window, saw
the performance and predicted that
the drunk would be robbed. When
A1acklin awakened in the house he
found that his money, about SO, was
gone, and he Immediately complained
to the police. They hunted up the
woman and secured partial admis-
sion of guilt, but Mack1in left early
Saturday morning.

me Chrlstmns Tree GanhIe.

1.-THE Christmas tree business is
gamble says one of the New York
shippers who never comes out on the
losing side, because he knows how to
cut his trees and. how to sell them, be-
cause he knows there is always a sale
for the best. mo two years alike. No
one knows how many shippers will be
in the market. No one knows how
many trees the others will bring, nor
how many he himself will bring, for
that matter, with weather and rail-
roads to reckon with at the last min
ute. The trees may cost $65, they
may cost $3.50, q, carload, which means
from two to five cents apiece delivered
on the farm The average market
price is sixty cents a bundle Of five
trees, and men who can get this make
good money. No two handle the bust
ness alike. One shipper will bring ten
or twenty carloads of trees cut as they
run, and sell them at fifty cents q
them. Another will bring five carloads
of carefully selected trees. sell them
at sixty cents a bundle or two. three,
or five dollars apiece for large singles
and as high as $25 for the giant trees
that gladden. the hearts of a hundred
bed-ridden babies in a hospital or a
half-thousand youngsters who have
gone very faithfully to Sunday school
for enough weeks before Christmas to
insure them a place on the church
tree: and this man will make more
money with less risk than the man
with twenty cars of poorer stock. -
