The L. II. Nature Lovers League.
The f" Bluejay" will be the subject OF
study for December. AS chief object
in the League bird-study is to awaken
deeper interest in our little friends OF
the air because not only Of the beauty
of their swift, fair wings and the
charm of their songs, but also because
of their service to all other forms OF
life, the essays submitted will be val
ued in proportion as they dwell upon
the economic value of the bird present
ed, and any points submitted as to
their present numbers in given locali-
ties-the protective interest accentu-
ated. A very instructive and enjoy
able address was given recently at the
Orange High School by Dr. Grout, OF
Brooklyn, the subject being "Nature
Study as aiSource of Happiness" The
illustrations of wild flowers, confer
forests, and other subjects we're ex-
ceedingly fine. The last address Of the
series on "Bird Life" was given at
the Milburn Public School. The sub
ject was our Shore Birds, illustrated
by slides showing the habitations OF
the birds when unmolested and also

IN MEMORIAM.
years.


All that was mortal of Mrs. Isola
Blanche Williams Simpson, was con-
signed Thursday to kindly oblivion.
While yet in love with life and rap
tured with the world she passed to
silence and eternal rest.
She had many friends who loved her
and who mourn their loss and we do
not here pretend to descant upon her
virtues.
Her life has been an open book
wherein, writ large, shall be found the
priceless record of a life well spent,
but, alas, life which is closed'all too
soon.
The tale of life is told in thirty
three years and all that's left is mem
ory. For her the ''strife is o'er'' the
weakness ended, the pain lulled, the
laboring breath gone out, the record
closed. Hers was stainless record
an inestimable record to those bound
to her by ties of kindred and friend
ship.
She was true, loving wife, duti-
full daughter and a consistent Chris
tian, always patient, never needing
pain and cheerful to the end.
There was nothing superficial in her
nature or her manner. What she was
in reality was plainly apparent to
every one with who she came in con-
tact.
No one was freer from moods and
changes than she. The same genial
disposition evinced itself on every oc-
casion and under all circumstances.
Her dreams of golden streets and an
gelic choruses have been realized.

men. Humane Steamer Co. claims
that its house is too narrow for the
steamer and hose wagon housed there,
and to obviate this difficulty the plans
call for changes and additions to the
new building at present used for the
red wagon of the Truck Company
making this the home of the Humane
Company, and moving the quarters for
the red wagon to the house now occu
pied by the Humanes. The plans call
for concrete floor with stalls for horses
in the rear of the room, while above
would be storage room Tor hay and
feed, bed room and meeting room.
Under the plans, the seven feet be-
tween the building and the Stiner
Building would be rooted over with
glass and equipped for the washing
and drying of hose.
The Truck Company would have all
the old fire house, being given the
present Humane second story for their
billiard room, while the Humanes
would also gain space for the social
features of the company. The changes,
new heating, ETC., would cost, accord
ing to the estimate, about $4,000.

cLAIRvoYANcE.

THIIE autumn sun was dying,
Glowed with its light the scene.
The crimson sky and the sable
earth
And the flood of gold between.
But she thought not Of the sunset;
To its ponp her eyes were dim.
His country's call had drawn his sword
She thought alone of him.
In the distant Asian passes
The banner of England blew.
Beneath its folds she saw him fight;
Fighting, he saw her too
The golden flood was darkened.
A shadow before her came;
Within the room the warrior stood,
Outside the great red fame.
A cry broke on the stiffness:
@Great Godi'' She reeled and fell
And the sun dropped down, and the sky
grew black
with the gloom of a deathlike spell.
IN the distant Asian passes
A pale corpse faced the sky.
One life the less, one death the more

ARRESTS FOLLOW.
There was an exciting shooting af-
fray on Flager street about two o'clock
on Wednesday afternoon, when Joseph
Carrierri shot his son-in-law, Carlo
Carrierri in the head and his daugh-
ter, Amelia, the wife of the injured
man through the ear. Joseph Anton
accio, the Italian policeman immed-
lately arrested the older man and sew
eral others as witnesses.
DR.. Vaughan was called and found
the injured man lying face down On
the piazza of the GrupelFi building on
Flagler street, where the shootir g
took place. He had him removed to
one OF the apartments and stopped the
flow of blood and bound up his head
The injured man retained his cor
sciousness through this work and was
removed to All Souls Hospital, where
the bullet was extracted and the pa
tient is on the road to recovery.
The wife was taken to police head
quarters, where the wounded ear was
dressed and her story secured.
All the principals Of the affair are
recent arrivals in town, the injured
man having come here from Somer-
vile and the father and daughter from
New York. Carlo and Amelia were
married about two months ago and
started housekeeping in the Marinaro
building. The husband became Of
the opinion I'll a the wife was not true
to him and learned that she was very
much interested in liquor salesman.
The husband set trap and as a result
had both OF them arrested a short
time ago and they are out on bail on
that charge. The girl after her re-
lease from jail moved across the street
with her father into the Grupelli
building. Last Sunday there were
several young men in the apartments
with her having boisterous time,
during which a window was broken
and Mr.. Gruppelli was called and told
them that they would have to move.
The father saw his landlord OH Tues
day night and told him there would
be no more trouble. The husband de-
cided to leave his wife and told her
that he would start for Italy on Thurs
Gay and enter the army. She came
out on Wednesday afternoon to plead
with him not to go, but he persisted
in his determination and finding her
entreaties unavailing. it is said that
she produced razor. Just at this
point the father appeared with his re-
volyer.
Meningitis set in later and the ply
sicians came to the opinion that the
injured man would not, live. At last
reports he was getting along very well.

Care Of Heifers In Winter.

1t is usually the practice to have
heffers come fresh in milk at two
years old, and If this comes in spring
they should receive the best Of atten-
tion during the winter, says American
Cultiyator. Particularly should this be
the case if they do not come to the
barn in good condition. They should
have plenty Of good nutritious fodder,
with little grain, such as will pro
duce growth Of muscle and bone.
Ground oats and wheat bran viii be
excellent for the purpose. They should
be kept warm, dry and clean. Ere

By the way, hot fresh whitewash is
a fine thing to use frequently in all
calving stalls, Such stalls should al
ways be thoroughly cleaned and dis
infected after each cow has calyed to

Attention to this win often save a val
