Sparrows Beaten by a Hen.

Few mothers have triumphed over
more difficulties in the rearing OF
their families than Nellie, a little
brown hen whose home is in box
on the bank of the Chicago River,
near North avenue. Besides the per-
lis of steam and street cars, of heavy
traffic and deep bitches, Nellie has
been forced, literally, to, ight for the
protection of her brood ever since
she brought the little ones into the
world three weeks ago. In that
time she has killed twenty sparrows,
members of a colony seemingly en-
tered into a pact to destroy her off,
spring. The birds have killed four
of Nellie's chicks, half of her family.
War was declared between Nellie
and the sparrows the morning the
little hen proudly came from her
nest with her eight tiny chicks. The
trouble started over a dish Of corn
meal provided by bridge tender for
the hen and chickens. The sparrows

a concerted attack on the hen and
chicks. Nellie killed four sparrow,s
in the first battle, while the birds
took the lives of two little chickens.
The scrimmage ended with the
sparrows in flight, but a guerrilla
warfare has followed. The spar
rows have succeeded only twice in
their efforts to isolate Nellie's young
ones, but on those occasions quickly
beat the little chicks to death with
their wings and bills. The chickens
have now reached an age to be able
to fight back when attacked, and the
sparrows are giving up the fight

Spinning Wheels Vanishing.

The Russian manufacturers went
after the Irish linen industry a few
years ago. They imported some Of
the best of the Belfast factory hands.
They went over the world for looms
and other machinery. They brought
Irishmen from country districts to
bleac.. the fax, but the result was as
sorry as when the spinners of Paisley
tried the same experiment. With
every Irish bride goes presents in
linen that would be more acceptable
to our sensible girls than the silver
articles lavished on them. A gener-
alton ago no Irish wedding was CT
plete without a spinning wheel, but
now the linen comes of finer texture

Neuroes Approve Lyncning.

When asked fer statement con-
cerning the lynching CT Bob Davis,
near Greenwood, the governor said ne
had nothing to say further than that
after a conference with Solicitor
Cooper Of the Greenwood circuit, nes
haG instructed that officer to take
immediate steps to prosecute the
known members of the mob. AS the
sentiment among the best citizens Of
the county as we'll as number Of
negroes is ir. sympathy with the action
of the mob, it is hardly probable thai
the prosecutions will amount 10 any
thing
The negro citizens of Greenwood
county issued the following address in
regard to the lynching of Bob Davis:
we, the negroes o: this county,
wish to say that We are with you and
in anything so serious as this you
gave assistance. in what you think
best. We cannot afford, as q race, 70
uphold anything that tends to lower
our Christian or moral standing, anG
the quicker We show that we. are
ready to help trace the rascal to iais
den. the quicker will we have the SYM
pathy Of the white man when we are
int1uded upon. Some evil-minded col
ored persons may say that negroes
should not have assisted the white
men in their search, but we say to
them, You are simply needing COM
mon sense If there is anything lack
ing on the. part of the negro race IL
is that of self-respect and we say that
# he cannot respect himself, teach
him, and do not be partial how and
in what manner the lesson be given.
Now until the leaders Of the race
establish the fact that we should join
in anil overtake any rascal we are
not in full discharge of our duty. Then
let us. as race, learn TO respect
ourselves and thereby expect it of
others.
I'VE think we voice the seatiment
Of every respectable negro in the
country when we say that the countr..-
is ridf of one of the meanest, most
disreputable characters Imaginable,
and YOUR thoughts are ours. It is an-'
reasonable to expect the white men
to respect and protect us when We
do not respect ourselves. The only
thing wanted was the right man anil
that is what we had and we are sal
isfed.' &

West Virginia Bear Hunt.

A large black bear caused quite
an excitement in this section last
week. He was first discovered near
Aleck Parks residence with an air
of bravery not altogether lovely.
Aleck has two fierce dogs that
chased him up against the garden
fence, and, as is often the case, no
gun could be found loaded, and after
tossing the dogs around over the
meadow with apparent ease he
crossed over to near Harper VOL
ford's on the creek and made his es-
cape in the jungle, hotly pursued by
a dozen or more men and dogs with
short breath and fast beating hearts.

Twizzle looked at me with renewed
suspicion. What of it," he de-
manded.
I took him to one side and spoke
in his ear. A grin overspread his
heavy visage, and the bartender was
called into consultation. Its a

Twizzle swore with vociferous jub-
ilation. IF there's anything I cher

thought of fooling that ma of Fill's

Two weeks later I went down to

which is really important is whether
or not this is a proper subject for
Federal aid. All that is asked by the
bill introduced by me is the appro-
priation of fund for road purposes.
The States are to furnish the right
of way, maintain the roads after they
are built, and pay one-half the cost.
Congress is not asked to invade the
States, but simply to appropriate
money as an aid to an object for the
general welfare and happiness OF all
the people. There could be no bet
ter investment Of the public funds
than in road improvement. 1t would
enhance the value Of farm lands from
ten to fifty per cent. An increase In
value of IS an acre would add 49,
OOo,O00,00O to the wealth OF the
country in this item alone. The con-
gestion of business during the winter
months would disappear, and our
people could go to the markets ct all
times. In fact, the material advan-
tages which would follow are too
numerous to mention and too Great
to estimate.
What will we do with the propo-
sition? Will we go on for the next
one hundred years as we have during
the last, or will we arouse ourselves
and make this question a burning
issue before the people until the re-
suit is accomplished?
