Ioue snnna of the nird..

It is a mistaken idea that Q bird sings directly to and for the ear of his mate alone, wooing her with his music. Most of the finest songs are sung to other males after the stress of rivalry is past and each little lady's love se- cured. If the motive of the singing were to attract the female the best songs would be heard during the first stage of love making. But birds go very slyly about their mating. and when a male bursts out in song one can be pretty sure that the demure wife is very busy over important af- fairs of her own. Every close observer of birds must notice that the female is often indifferent to the singing of her mate. As the love season comes on bird naturally overfiows iLto song 1t may be to attract some female near CT, though every bird has distinct significant love call, which carries as far as his song. The moment she ap- pears upon the scene he has less mu- sical ways of courting her. Should he go on singing some. more strenuous suitor would surely get ahead of him. He will fight for her, feed her, coax her with low, guarding notes. But If he is singing loud and clear 1t is in tri- umph She is won-is his-and, like all truly loving mates, gives him: his freedom to go back to- the springs of his being for rest and inspiration Virginia Garland in Out West.

A SINGULAR DUEL.

How the Death Penalty Was Adninis'
 tered to Two Indians.
 The following story illustrates very well one of the characteristics of the Indian, as Ii shows that Indians, as a rule, did not mind dying so much as they were particular about the method. It was a good many years ago at Pine Ridge, when there was trouble with the Cheyennes. Major Cooper was there as agent, and there were two young Cheyennes who were badly wanted for murder. They had way. laid and killed prospector They were not caught, and the chances were that they would not be unless the sol diers were called Tn. If this were done it was likely to precipitate trouble with the whole tribe, and Major Coop CT laid the case before tl&e headmen. They were told that if the soldiers were sent for there would surely be trouble and. were requested politely to ask the two erring bucks to come in and be hanged. ...-=-H
 Word was sent to the two young Indians. Head Chief and Young Mule, who were out n the hills. They sent word back that they had no objection to dying if 1t would keep the rest of the tribe out of trouble, but that if they had to die they preferred to die fighting. and they wanted 1t distinctly understood that they would not be hanged. It was entirely against the customs of the government, but rules did not go for much in those days. Results were the chief things. and Major Cooper sent word to them that if they wanted fight he would risk accommodating them. A date was set md early i'll tho morning they rode to- ward the agency fully armed. Major Cooper WIS out to meet them, and the rest of the tribe, the potential hOstiles, were gathered on the hills to. see fair play The agent rode out into the open and slipped off his horse. using 1t for cover and shooting across the sad dle.
 The two young Indians galloped up to within. shooting distance and com menced circling hanging on the of side of their ponies and shooting un- der their necks and across their heads. The tacit understanding was that if they were killed it was all right, but If they got the agent they would pull out into the hills and wait for some other challenger. The fight did not last long. Cooper had a heavy buff falo gun and killed one Indian, shoot ing him through the body of his horse. The other k"pt on circling, and several shots were exchanged till the Indian was shot through the body. He knew 1t would bf all up with him in few minutes and charged, shooting as he came. But the agents luck held good, and he was dropped within fifty yards. The law was satisfied, and the agent was able to report officially to Wash ington that the Indians had been ex- Washington Star.

CITY TO CONTROL
TELEPHONE RATES
Is Plan of City Solicitor Jas.
Campbell, Jr.
Louisville Already Involved In Liti-
CATION Over Effort TO Enforce
Such Right.
MAKE CHANGE IN CHARTERS.

Municipal authority to regulate
telephone rates is one of the provis-
ions City Solicitor Campbell would
Suggest including in the charter OF
second class cities, If the commission
to revise 1t is appointed by the four
cities composing that class.
His idea was evolved as solution
of the litigation now pending between
the city and the East Tennessee Tel
Iephone company in the state and fed
feral courts. In louisville Judge
Richardson. city attorney, is of the
|opinion that the city has implied au-
thority to regulate rates, and adop-
tlon of an ordinance introduced on
his suggestion has been enjoined by
the East Tennessee Telephone COM
pany.
Mr.. Campbeils idea is to put an
end to this litigation by specific act
of the legislature comforting on mu-
inequalities of the state that power.
"As the matter rests now" he said
"this litigation promises to be never
ending. Our custer proceedings
against the East Tennessee Tele-
phone company In the state courts
have been enjoined in the federal
court, and II we win. there are so
many complications that the tele-
phone company may keep appealing
and continuing the case for six or
seven years, and piling costs up to
the moon.
'1n the meantime the city will
have no control over the company
It claims the practical by perpetual

cording to a grant, which l contend
the city did not have the right at
the time to give. There is no means

saw possible contingencies. that II

the city to the application for a per-
manent injunction will be held in

Rome, April 25.-1n vatican circles
il is considered likely that Mgr. Far
reilly, spiritual director of the Amer
lean college here, will be appointed
coadjutor to Bishop McCloskey, of
Louisville, KY.
Some time ago It was announced In
vatican circles that such an appoint
ment would be given to Monsignor
Farrelly, but no action was taken at
that time and 1t was said in Rome
that the matter had not been consid-
cred. Mgr. Farrelly is well known
throughout the south. He is a ma
tive of Arkansas but lived for many
years in Nashville. The distinguish
ed prelate is nearly fifty years old.
He was ordained at Nashville and is
considered one OF the most learned
men in the American Catholic HER
archy.
The Right Rev. William George
McCloslkey. bishop of Louisville. is
the oldest Catholic bishop In the Unit
ed States, both in age and in point
of continuous service. He is in his
eighty-fourth year and has been
bishop here for thlrty-nine years,
having been consecrated in 1868.
The only other Catholic prelate in
America who exceeds Bishop McClos-
key in age and point Of service Is
