Bird Club Opens season.

The Bird club opened the season Fri
day night of last week, when nearly 40
members and invited guests assembled
at the home Of Mrs. Edward Kirkland, the
club president, and passed a most de-
llghtful and unusual evening. The whole
AFFAIR was in the form OF a bird party and
the smallest details were carried out in
that idea. The decorations were Of birds
nests, ETC., and displayed much ingenuity
On the walls were beautiful charts show
ing the colorings and habits OF the best
known feathered songsters, while in con-
spicuous places were several magni-
hcent specimens Of stuffed birds. The
guests, for the most part, came in
costume, each representing some well
known bird. and there was much
merriment in guessing what they were.
The entertainment consisted OF music
and various contests, implying the
names and habits OF birds. The refresh
ments were daintily served in the form
OF nests. eggs. birds, or similar objects.
The club plans to begin its bird walks
very soon as already some Of the earlier
birds, including robins and bluebirds,
have been seen.-[The Times.

John Burroughs Discovers the odor Of
Spring.

The first perfume of vernal bloom drift
ing upon the breeze. thrilling your sense
as you walk the highway, or cross the
little hill by the foot-path. usually appears
In early May. 1t is faint and delicate, but
unmistakable,-it is a token of bloom
somewhere. One throws up his head and
sniffs 1t and searches for 1t, as he would
bend his ear for some faint far-off strain
OF music. Is 1t a breath of the myriad
opening buds in field and wood, or has
the south wind brought 1t from warmer
climes? For years / was much puzzled
as to the origin OF this rare, elusive odor
OF early May mornings. Now I am con-
WINGED 1t comes from the blossoming
elms; have traced 1t home. There seems
to be only brief period. probably only
one or two mornings, when the elms emit
this delicious odor. 1t is the same with
the sugar maple bloom It is not every
spring that l catch its perfume. It seems
heavier than that Of the elm and does not
drift so far upon the breeze, but It is
equally brief and uncertain. In both
cases the atmospheric conditions must be
favorable; a warm, moist, gentle SOUTH
west wind and a day that woos and
caresses all things.

Get q bottle of KODOL FOR DYSPEP-
STA, and see what it will do for you. Ko-
dol Dot only digests what you eat 'and gives
that tired stomach q needed rest, but is a
corrective of the greatest efficiency. Ro-
dol relieves indigestion, dyspepsia, palpi-
tation of the heart, fistulencc, and sour

young and healthy again. You will worry
just in the proportion that your stomach
worries you. Worry means the loss of

avoided at all times. Kodol will take the

Norfolk, Va: The London Daily
Telegraph urges King Edward to pay a
visit to America next year. The king
itinerary would include a visit to Presi-
dent Roosevelt at Washington, a sojourn
Ia Norfolk, Vagina, to witness the
jamestown Exposition which in 1907 is
to commemorate the settlement of
America by English speaking people.
II King Edward decides to throw prece-
dent to the winds and again visit Ameri-
ca-he was here as Prince of Wales-he
will also visit New York and Canada.
1t is we'll known that the relations be-
tween the English King and Queen and
the London Daily Telegraph are most
cordial. When he was Prince of Wales,
the present king was instrumental in
having the proprietor of the paper
knighted. It Is therefore reasonable to
assume that the warmth and enthusiasm
Of the Daily Telegraph over the ques-
ton of the kings visit TO America meets
with the approval and sympathy of the
monarch. Il may be, indeed that the
opinions expressed when inspired by q
nod or word from the king and remains
to be Der how the British people re-
gard the matter as q whole. AT pres
emit it looks as though the king may yet
plant q tree on the grounds of the
jamestown Exposition, sit under the
spreading branches of the great Powa-
tan oak-Which was a mature tree when
King James granted the Virginia char
ter-and drink from the old Indian
Spring from which Pocahontas
Quenched her thirst.
Both the King and the Emperor are
sure Of q royal welcome from the peo-
pie Of the first Of the American States.

nearby cities were summoned home.
The funeral, which was very largely at
tended, was held Sunday morning, June

Very True.

How frequently We look about US and
see some bright, promising young man
going to ruin. When he is lettering On
his last legs, so to speak, and 1nal'y IS
down and out, to the great majority ne Ia
forever lost. The beginning of that young
mans ruin was bad company. "He that
followeth vain persons shall have poverty
enough"
A young mar starting ont in the world
should, first of all, exercise great careln
choosing his company. If he is honest
efficient, capable and at the same time, con
genial, train him with persons OF the same
calibre. Men who possess these traits OF
character seldom 90 out of their clseH. The
tendency is when q young man Id turned
loose he goes into his own c~ompany-be 1t
good or bad. You can always tell the
kind of man he is by the company he keeps
in idle hours. every Judas goes to bis
own place, aver in this world"
We can see howa young man OF splen-
die tralhing and good attainments gets IN
to bad Company by mistake and goes
wrong, At first he is nothing like his as
sociates. Gradually he becomes more and
more like them. Within q short time he
has lost ell his former goodness and is one
of them. ''Whe lies down with dogs,
rises with feas."
Gambling hastens the ruin of many q
young man. Wine and women go hand
IN hand with gambling; the three soon put
their victim in the clear. Up all night,
roaming around in the company of either
ofthe three interferes with a mans success
by weakening and shortening life. How
many young men you hear complain OF
the salary they received, and yet night al
ter night you can find them in front OF O
bar, spending their hard earned money
without a moments hesitation or q word Of
complaint.
Young man, if this hits you, wake up.
If you are forming bad habits that you
know are wrong, cut them out. Remem'
Der the world is full of s'nobodys". Drink
and card playing will make you that. II
you want to be turn your bacl
on both.-Exchange.
