CROWS AND CATS.
What They Are Doing to Destroy
lnseet-Esting Birds.

The two minor problems Of the farm
10 which we call attention are crows
aud cats, in their relation TO bird life.
and indirectly to the multiplication OF
Injurious insects. says the Farm Jour-
nal A friend up state sends US the
following:
People who do not know that young
crows are almost exclusively fed on
the young Of other birds. or on the
farmers chicks, don't know the
crows life history-that every grown
crow costs from three to six dozen
young birds to feed him while in the
nest. for tho old crow cannot catch
Insects. being too clumsy; nor has he
the capacity OF the hawk to catch
nice.
'fhe crow may be a benefit In the
tropics. whore birds multiply too fast.
and is not restrained by serpents and
crows. and in other ways, they would
devour all crops But in the temper
ate zone, II left free course. as seems
to be the case lately. he will exterIG-
i-ate all other kinds OF birds. even
the hawks, for he attacks them in
numbers and drives them from their
hunting grounds.
And when the poor. prosecuted
birds come to nest near the dwellings
in country or town. they are met and
devouref by the modern cats; they
have no pace to rear their young. or
even to stay in safety. We must have
cats. perhaps. as a defense against
rats: but there used to be cats that
would catch rats and not birds. And
there can be again. just as We have
cats that will leave young chickens
alone.
Those who really desire to prevent
the destruction of all the small birds.
except the sparrows, need to do more
than scold at the women for wearing
parts Of birds on their hats: which
make a big show. as is the purpose.
but which AMOUNT to nothing com
pared TO the destruction by the crows
and cats. And are they not mostly
tropical birds? VINO ever recognized
any OF our birds on a oman's hat?
They are not gay enough for the
ladies'.

UNCLE BILLY HOOD NO MORE
Death Claims an Aged Resident Of
Barton County.

After an illness lasting but a
few weeks William Hood, better
ard more familiarity known by
all older citizens as Uncle Billy"
Hood, passed from the world of
suffering to the unknown beyond,
at about 2 a. m, Wednesday the
2lst. He had been seriously ill
only a few weeks.
Deceased was born Oct. 3, 1880,
in Rush county, Indiana, being
aged Is years 4, months and 81
days. He was married on August
IL, 1850, in Freeman, Ind, to
Miss Susan Y. Cation who has
been his constant life companion
since, and who is prostrated over
the loss of one who for over a half
a century has hardly been from
her side.
MIR. Hood moved from Indiqna
to Iowa, and in 1874 came to Kan
saS and sought a home, returning
with his family in 1875 and locat-
ing on a farm south of the river.
For the last ten years or more he
has been a resident of Great Bend
living on his home place in the
north part of the city.
He leaves surviving him his faith
full wife, Susan, his two daughters
Mrs. Mary Ray of Newton, Kan
sas, and Mrs. Rhoda Williamson
of Great Bend; and three sons,
Daniel of Great Bend. S. w. Of
Aline, Ok. Ty., and Mack of
South Bend township.
We shall all miss Uncle Billy.
He was optimistic, easy going and
cheerful. For the past dozen or
more years we have rarely missed
seeing him at least once a week,
and generally most every day. On
press day he would invariably call
at the Office for his weekly paper,
and his social visits we're looked
forward to IS one of the en-
couragements of the weekly grind
of newspaper life. May his soul
rest in peace.
Funeral services were held at
his late resindence on Thursday
March 22d, at 80 p. m.

A Plaster Well Applied.

From the National Rebekah for
March we find the following:
The following is told of couple
wO attended the state fair, and
stopped at one of the best hotels.
About 2 p. m., the husband was
seized suddenly with severe
stomach cramps and was almost
frantic. His wife was very
frightened, but knew that some
thing must be done quickly, so
without waiting to put on clothing
started down stairs on the jump
with naught on her but her
mighty.
Running into the dining room
she saw a mustard cruet on the
table. Emptying the contents in
to her handkerchief she started up
stairs on the run, and entered the
first door she came to. Here she
saw a man lying on the bed, who in
the dim duskiness she mistook for
her husband, and gently tucking
up his lingerie slapped the poultice
on his abdomen. The man let out
a howl and quickly shouted in
angry tones: Woman, what
in HI are you doing9"
There was a shrek, a patter of
unshod feet on the hall floor,
and frightened half to death the
poor wife found her room and
suffering husband. She told him
her troubles, and it tickled him SO
that his cramps took a change OF
venue.

Afternoon
THE OUTCOME is DOUBTFUL

Washington, March %. The
statehood fight started as soon as
the journal was read in the house
today. Mr.. Dalziel, chairman Of
the committee on rules, submitted
a rule that the statehood bill. with
the senate amendments, be taken
from the speakers table, the
amendments disagreed to, and a
conference ..asked of the senate.
Dalziel then moved the previous
question. 1t was carried by a
viva voice vote, and on rising vote
by 149 to "a. About twenty re-
publicans voted with the democrats
in the negative. A record vote
was then demanded by Mr..
Williams. 1t was ordered, and
sustained the previous question by
III to 14O, leaving each side
twenty minutes for a discussion
of the rule.
