ISAAC NEWMAN DEAD.
PROMINENT CORSET MANUFAC-
 TURER SUCCUMBS TO AGE.

Denth Came at Park Street Residence
 Late Yesterday AfternoOn--Mr. New
 man Was Eighty-fOur Years of Age
 and Had Been in III Health for About
 Year--Had Spent Most of His Long
 Life in This City-FuneraI VIII be
 Held Friday Afternoon.
 The death of Isaac Newman, the founder and head of the well known corset establishment of I. Newman & Sons, on Oak street, occurred shortly before 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon at his residence, 31 Park street, MT. New mans death was due to his advanced age. He had been in poor health since last autumn. In October last MT. New man went to California for the benefit of his health but finding no improve ment he returned in a short time and had since been confined to his Park street residence.
 Mir Newman had been a devoted cit izen of New Haven, which city he had made his home most of the time during the past fifty years. He was born in Germany eighty-four years ago and came to this country about sixty years ago. He built up the present corset concern, which bears his name, and which is now one of the largest as well as oldest in the country. His death comes as a personal loss to the 800 em- ployes of the firm by whom MT. New man was much beloved. He had made 1t a practice each year to give his em ployes a delightful banquet, which, with his unfailing care for their well fare. did much to endear him to the workers. He was ever a man of kind ly end philantbropic temperament,

JUNIOR STORIES.
PUFF AND THE BABY.

Puff was a tiny little terrier and a
great pet. He came by his name from
a way he had of making great fuss,
and getting out of breath about moth
ing. Baby was crazy to get hold of him
and when she saw Puff she would
wriggle cut Of anyone's arms to get
to him. The children needed only to
say, Baby. Puff is coming" when she
would give crow of delight and out
went her little arms, fingers and legs,
all working together.
skin tender and when Baby's fingers
got hold of him his howls we're dread
full and he never got away without
leaving some of his coat in Baby's fin
gers.
One, day Baby was a sleep on the
sofa and Puff thought it was a good
time to look at her, now that he could
do so without fear 1t was funny to
see him creep along, peering into the
little sleeping face, but ready to start
back in moment. He went closer and
closer, until his little cold nose touched
Baby's mouth, when she woke with a
sudden start threw out her two little
fat hands and seized him by the whis-
kers. Puff pulled and howled and
backed off the sofa, dragging the baby
after him, but she fell on top Of him
and was not hurt.

SOME MORE ABOUT BIRDS.

Dear Juniors: Have you noticed how
many beautiful birds are in this part
of the world this spring? It is said
by bird lovers to be an unusual season
May IA was an interesting day for bird
lovers in this locality. On that day the
great wave of bird migration, which
began the last of February, seemed to
reach its highest point ST.
From now on the migration will
rapidly subside until the first Of June,
when the spring flight north will prac-
tically be at an end. Our bird popu-
lation then will consist Of the perma-
nent homesteaders, together with a
very interesting colony of summer res
idents. To one interested in our feath-
cred friends the season of migration is
|, the most attractive part of the year.
The bird life Of a vast area then passes
in review before him. Living in a tenn.
peraIe zone, we may see birds whose
homes are built in the land of the mid
night sun, and whose winter haunts
lie far to the south in the tropics.
I Here is what bird lover saw In one
I flock a few mornings ago: Red Start,
Maryland Yellow-throat, Yellow Sum-
mer Warbler, Black throated Warbler,
Nashville Warbler, Black-polled Warb-
rler, Magnolia Warbler, Black and
White Creeping Warbler, Warbling vi
REQ, White-eyed Vireo, Wood Pewee,
Acadian Flycatcher and Scarlet Tan
ager Besides these there were sew
eral varities with which we were unfa-
miliar, and strange to say, on the
ground under these trees where we had
scattered some new EARTH was "a be-
lated flock of Chipping Sparrows, fully
$50 in number, their little chestnut
crowns being the only contrast with
the dirt in which they were scratch
ing. Add to the ones already
mentioned the Wren, Robin, Blue JAY
White Grown Sparrow, Grosbeak,
Bronzed Grockle, Chimney Swift, Balti-
more Oriole, Red-headed Wood-pecker,
Flicker, and the ever-present English
sparrow, and you have quite numer-
Gus assemblage.
Now, the Courier Junior wants to
have bird catalogue. We
have before us the names of seventy
three birds Two weeks from today we
. want another bird contest. Children
Everywhere are showing great interest
in birds and we want the Courier Jun
icrs to be at the head of the "up-to-date
recession" To the Junior sending in
,he longest list of birds we will award
surprise prize No list under seventy
three names will be considered. This
contest closes June Z. Why not write
bird story, using the names of all the
oirds as one of the prize winners today
used the names of the flowers?
The San Francisco honor roll Will
seon receive their souvenirs. We hope
10 send them out within the next two
weeks.

eEMlLA, THE CHILD OF THE
DESERT.


Gemila is travelling in the desert
with her mother and father. They are
outside Of their tent enjoying the cool
evening breeze. Alec is her brother,
who is just coming out of the tent.
They. see the tall palm trees and the
setting sun. 1t is very pleasant. to
hear the camels drink from the well.
The children have carried their father
some fresh water. He is sending up
blue rings of smoke from his long pipe.
He is sitting on mats, for they have
never seen chair. Their house is a
tent, which is made of two or three
poles to hold it UP, and covered with
goats hair cloth. They have two
rooms. They are divided by cloth.
There is no furniture in their tent like
ours. All they have are low mats and
cushions. Not even table to eat
from. When we are eating our dinner
and going back to school they shut up
their tent and go to sleep.

AL,rrLE INDIAN SCHOOL.

Ont on the bleak prairie of South
Dakota in the valley of a little stream
Known as Wounded Knee Creek, there
is a frame school-house where all the
nunils are Indians. In the old days,
before they were confined on great
bodies of land called reservations, the
indians used to hunt all over the great
western country; and while none OF
them could read and write, yet even
the small boys could follow a trail
across the prairie many days after it
was made, and they could tell, from
boxing at the pony tracks, whether

In Sioux City the superintendent o.
the schools is getting the children
interested in flowers. The editor hopes
that the Juniors will all read the TO
lowing article to see what other CHI
dren are doing:
"Over 400 children in the schools
Sioux City have received their frs
lessons in horticulture. In accordance
with the resolve of the other good peo-
pie of the town to improve as greatly
as possible the appearance OF the
streets and yards of the city over 800
packages of seeds were distributed t.
the pupils in the fifth grade in all the
schools by order of the superintendent.
"In many grade buildings wide-eyed
youngsters listened to learned disser-
tations on the nature of the seed, the
effect of rain and sunshine, why rainy
days should be borne with for the sake
of the growing things of nature, and
why sunshine should be all the more
welcome after showers.
"The principles of gardening, the
need for stirring up the ground, and
warnings that weeds grow lots easier
than flowers, and how to keep a hoe
sharp, were pretty well disposed of.
and the kids carried two paper pack
ages of the makin's' of gardens homa
under their arms, many of which were
put into the ground last night.
Every week until the opening Of
school in September has been filled
for the children by the schedule made
out by the superintendent and the
supervisor Of drawing, Miss Johanna
Hanson, who has been instrumental in
securing the seeds for the children. In
September carefully made out report
