SEATTLE, Nov. 11.-Mrs. Maud
Creffield held in the King county jail
as an accomplice in the murder Of
George Mitchell in the Union station,
July 18th, died suddenly at 1I:15 last
hight. Although it is suspected that
the woman committed suicide, a
search of the Jail by Sheriff Smith
and deputies has so far failed to dis
cover any evidence that she had
poison in the compartment she occu-
pied.
Esther Mitchell, who shot her
brother was in the same bed with
Mrs. Creffield when the latter was
stricken. Esther Mitchell shed nCO
tears when she realized that the wo1n-
an who had been her accomplice in
the murder of her brother was dead.
For half an hour she clung to the
lifeless form and kissed the cold lips.
but was not consumed with grief and
answered in clear voice all questions
asked of her. Deputy Coroner S. F.
Wiltse believes the woman died of
heart failure.

Christmas Presents q Subject De-
mandinR Serious Study.
Giving Christmas gifts is almost a
science. II is certainly a study for n
who really wishes to give and not dis
tress and embarrass. No n IL more
helpless than the woman who receives
an utterly useless and undesirable gift.
She Is fairly forced into falSehood and
Is obliged to express gratitude which
she does not feel.
The woman who has q green parlor
and receives a blue rug, or the woman
who has q blue dining room and re-
ceives a set Of doilies embroidered with
purple ~violets, Or the woman with a
sallow complexion who Is given a deli
cate pink shawl, is actually made to
ain against truth. She feels, II she Is
Of a naturally grateful and tender dis
position, that she must express thanks
which she does not feel. Then, ten
chances to one, II 1t Is not a struggle
for her not to pass along those useless
gifts next Christmas and fairly in
volve herself in q mesh Of deceit, she
goes about terrified lest by any IN
foreseen chance the first giver should
discover the gift in the hands Of the
second recipient.
Often people are so deluged by use
less gifts that memory fails them con-
corning the givers. Such mistakes are
likely to occur, and petty and absurd,
but no less lasting, feuds are the con-

WINGLESS BIRDS.
Some Animal Oddities That Ar
Found In New Zealand.

Some Animal Oddities That Arc
Found In New Zealand.
An official Of the Smithsonian insti-
tuition was recently speaking OF some
Of the wingless birds of New Zealand.
'"Those wingless birds have always
been Of especial interest to me-" he
said. Nowhere else than in their
native land could they have survived,
for that is the only land in which no
destructive animals are to be found.
Being unable to fly, they could not
have escaped from swift hunting ami
mails, If any there had been. And in
this connection it is interesting to note
that in all probability the kakapo, or
great ground parrot, once had the use
of it's wings, but, being b grass seed
feeder and finding no enemies on the
ground, it in a process of evolution lost
it's ability to fly, though able to run
very swiftly. These birds are SO gen
tie and so unconscious of having any
enemies that If a person sit down near
one it will presently tuck its head un-
der it's wing and go to sleep. They
only breed once in two years, and the
mother bird carefully hides the nest
from her mate, though why is not
known.
"The weka, or wood hen, is another
specially interesting species Of the
wingless birds. These birds mate for
life and take turn about in Matching
and watching the brood. One Of the
pair is never absent from the nest, the
one on duty being supplied with food
by the other. There is something al
most human in the sight Of a male
weka leading his family out for q
stroll on the beach when the tide Is
low.
Another is the roa, which is distin-
guished by a remarkable beak, long,
slender and slightly curved. The roa,
like the kakapo, is a night bird, and its
chief food is ~earthworms. Its sight Is
very poor. and 1t may often be seen
| standing in the moonlight with the tip
of its beak resting upon the ground.
apparently listening II feeling for the
vibrations Of a worms movements.
The male Of the roa does all the hatch
ing, and the young birds come from
the shell with all their feathers, mini
atures Of their parents and with ap'
parently all their intelligence, az they
at once start out to search for food
and seem to require no instruction as
to the best places to find tt."-New

The Romance of Mist1etoe.

BY the Teutons mistletoe was held
sacred to Baldur, the sun god, the son
Of Freya, the Scandinavian Venus. In
Baldur all that was beautiful, elo-
quent, wise and good was honored,
and he was the spirit Of activity, Of
Joy and of light. Predicting his own
approaching death, his mother, Freya,
exacted an oath from animals, planets
and minerals not to injure him. The
mistletoe among the plants had been
forgotten. When this was discovered
by the treacherous Hoeder, the blind
god of brute strength. he took a wand
Of it, and, being directed how to aim
it, the mistletoe pierced Baldur through
the heart, and he fell dead to the
eround.-Boston Traveller.
