BIRDS OF ILL NATURE.
The Cruelty of swans as Displayed
Toward Other Fowls.

Toward Other Fowls.
The graceful swan is one of the most
ungracious in its ways. Not only Gin
the breeding season. does a male bird
resent the intrusion of a strange gen.
tleman, but it will spend the day in
driving off from its domain any I'M
lucky geese which might be plainly as
sumed to have no designs upon its do
nestle arrangements and have, indeed,
no desire beyond that for a comfortable
wash and swim. 1t will also pursue
even the most innocent of newborn
ducklings while they unwittingly re-
joice in an early taste of their common
element
When an only child has passed out of
the cygnet stage of life and grown to
full physical if not mental maturity
father and mother swans have been
known to fall upon and deliberately
beat it to death with wing and beak
The gratified parents swan gracefully
about the mere in which they lived
while the great white corpse Of their
son lay battered and dead upon the
shore. The following year, after an
other had been born to them and in in
fancy carried upon his mothers back,
they began TO treat him so roughly
that, not being pinioned like them, he
wisely flew away, and we saw him no
more. Curiously enough, geese which
have experienced rudeness from swans
in the lusty spring have been known
to retalate in the calmer autumn,
when the 1erceness of their enemy had
become mitigated. have seen a gan
der leap upon the back of a once AFRO
CANT swan and pound away at it in the
full enjoyment Of gratifed revenge

sox and Senators Break Even.

The White Sox lost a good oppor-
tunity to climb the ladder yesterday
when the best they did was to win
one Of the two games played. It IS
believed that If Kitson had not been
Injured the Chicago boys would have
won even the first game as they did
by the score Of 6 to 4. The second
game with Smith in the box. was
a hard one for the Sox, and the
six scratch hits was all they could
get off Charley. Kitson's injury to
the knee may keep him out of the
game for week. Sheridan umpired
the final battle alone.

of his wife or daughter; will not take
out an insurance, even when failure
to do so Is ruinous to him in a bust

cepts of his creed as interpreted by its
doctors without reference to any othe,
consideration, and especially withou
reference to convenience or to the opin
ions, moral or otherwise, Of men Of
any other faith. A Mussulmar's creed
is for him the operative law, as Gus
tom is for a Chinaman, or caste rule
for Hindoo, or duty for a good Eng
lishman, or that which is convenient
for a respectable Frenchman, and.

will break the law, especially for gain.

Elizabeth City, N. c., March s.
A little girl three or four years of
age, the child of Mr.. and Mrs. W.
r. Williams, the we'll known peo-
pie of Woodville, disappeared from
her home Tuesday night and
though the surrounding country has
been thoroughly searched by anxious
neighbors and friends Of the dis
tressed parents, not the slightest
clue to The little ones whereabouts
has thus far been obtained.
Thoughts Of the sad fate of Sena.
tor Beasley's boy, and suspicious of
possible kidnapping of this little
girl, have filled the WoodvlIle COM
munity with forebodings Of evil
and a dark disquiet. The majority
Of the people think, however, that
the child strayed off into the woods
and was lost.
Will she be found dead or alive ?
This is the question that people are
asking themselves, their hearts
heavy with the burden of suspense.
Meanwhile the parents wait in acute
anguish for tidings Of the vanished
child, and the mother is nearly pros
trated with the accumulated misery
of hope deferred.
