It the readers Of the Union have
the idea that the Bremerton CORE
spondent has gone into oblivion this
communication will convince them that
he is alive and very active. If Mile
Laos county people could see the work
that have done during the last three
months they would not think it strange
that could not find time to write ar
ticles for a paper. My health began
to improve soon after I came here and
by the middle of August I was so we'll
that [ commenced to work at car
penter work and I have worked almost
every working day since. I feel
stronger and better now than I did
when I commenced to work. At first
worked ten hours day and when the
days were shorter I worked nine hours.
Now work eight hours. I expect to
finish what work have engaged to do
this week and will then rest till the
winter rains cease and the pleasant
spring time comes. Then 7 have two
months work that is waiting for me to
do. A man that is nearly SO years of
age is supposed to be too old to work
at carpenter work, but people here tell
me that I am as spry and active as
most men that are less than 70 vaars
old. The reason for writing the above
is that many people in Mile Lacs
county thought 1 was making a great
mistake to leave Minnesota at my age

In Time of Peace.

In the first months of the Russia
Japan war we had a striking example
Of the necessity for preparation and
the early advantage of those who, so
to speak, 'have shingled their roof
in dry weather." The virtue of prep
aration has made history and given
to us our greatest men. The individ-
ual as we'll as the nation should be
prepared for any emergency. Are you
prepared to successfully combat the
first cold you take? A cold can be
cured much more quickly when treated
as soon as it has been contracted and
before it has become settled in the
system. Chamberlain Cough Rem

him into the water. When the geese
was cooked we drew 'em up again, and,
by the everlasting Santos-Dumont, that

and some wild celery we fshed up with

the wireless company had an instru-

Bird Cities.

Scattered along the Atlantic coast
are bird cities, great capitals of Bird
land, where the birds congregate
in countless numbers.
on Gardeners island at the end of
Long island, is the fishhawk city,
where, under the protection of the
family owning the island. ospreys
have learned to nest upon the ground
instead of upon the highest trees, a.
on the mainland.
Pelican island, in the Indian river
Florida, is the metropolis of the peli-
can folk
Far down on a remote islet of the
West Indies, containing but four white
inhabitants, the wary flamingo tribe
has hidden its capital
on Cobbs island, off the Virginia
coast, is the tern metropolis, where
the birds of that family most do
congregate." These birds were so
fiercely sought for millinery purposes
for some years, that several species
were exterminated, but they are again
multiplying on Cobb's island, where
their nests and downy little sand
colored chicks cover the beaches.
At the mouth of the st. Lawrence
is Bird Rock the greatest bird tene-
ment house in the world. In the clefts
of Its precipitous sides nest thous-
ands upon thousands of enormous,
snowy gannets, seddte. grenadier-like
puffins, and elfin Growing stormy pc
trels, Mother Careys chickens" The
rock is absolutely beachless and the
visitor is drawn in a crate to the top
by the light house keeper, who dwells
thereon; the birds surveying the
whirling ascent with motionless calm.
All these bird cities and others in
the Everglades of Florida and along
the Maine coast, are protected by the
American Ornithological union. The
union has secured laws and paid war
dens to protect the birds in their cities
at the breeding season. confident that
during the rest of the year the feath-
cred folk will preserve themselves
from extinction.
Though the gun is forbidden one
may hunt them with the camera, a
far more skilled and difficult sport.

Brave March Jared forth across the
land,
Rut seemed TO lose his way;
Where once was snow beneath his
feet.
Young grass in patches lay.
He found the full-tde meadow brook
Had burst its icy band,
And pussy-willows, soft and sleek,
He saw on every hand;
And In a sunny garden bed,
A crocus dared to lift its head.
And March, disheartened, saw his
power
And kingdom melt away;
He thought to rule in Winters stead,
With the same rigid sway,
But all his grim intent was vain,
The wind grew sweet and mild,
A bluebird came and sang to him
AS merry as a child,
So with hurt and sorry soul,
March followed Winter to the pole.

Honoring a Great American.

There are still running in the pa
pers interesting accounts relating to
the great things achieved by Susan
b. Anthony which also serve to show
the growth of our institutions and
civilization. A contributor to the
Kansas City Star explains that, at the
time of Miss Anthony's entrance into
public life, about 1850, the old COM
mon law status of women still exist
ed throughout the United States. A
slight modification had been granted
by the New York legislature two years
previously by which married woman
was allowed to hold real estate in
her own name. But the common law
still awarded the custody of the wifes
person to her husband. 1t give him
her earnings, the possession of her
personal property and of her children.
In some states she was not allowed
to make a will. If she secured di-
vorce on account of the infidelity of
her husband she forfeited all right to
the property which they had earned
together. The estate and the children
were left to the husband.
1t was against such unfair and mer-
ciless restrictions that Miss Anthony
first directed her efforts. So bitter
was the prejudice that at many
houses the door was shut in her face.
Miss Anthony" said a Rochester
minister, you are too fine woman
to be doing such work. You ought
to marry and have children 81 think
it much WISER she replied, ito Sc
cure for the thousands of mothers of
this state the legal control of children
they have than to bring others into
the world who would not belong to
me after they were born" For several
years Miss Anthony continued her
work, addressing legislative commit
tees and public meetings and develop
ing sentiment. At last, in 1860, the
New York legislature granted most of
the essential remedies asked for.
The new law gave married women
the right to own and control property,
to carry on business, to make con-
tracts, to have her own earnings, to
bring actions in their own name for
damages and to have equal power with
husbands over the children. These
entirely just and reasonable privileges
that are now accepted as reasonable
as a matter of course were granted As
years ago as concession to the grow
ing enlightenment of public sentiment
toward which Miss Anthony powerful
ly contributed. "Surely to have been
instrumental in furthering such re-
