Kansas Fowl Refuses to Associate

the barnyard, the hen eating and the
cat looking on.
d The two are great playmates and
many persons have visited the Fisher

These figures give total of over
$4,000 suicides in England and Wales
in 20 years-a number larger than
the casualties on both sides in the
great battles of Blenheim, Austerlitz,
Sadowa Wagram or Gravelotte, and
far exceeding the deaths at Water
loo.
To an American representative
Gen. Booth said:
"The act of self-destruction is a
violation of the sacredness of life, the
law of the land and an outrage upon
the moral sense of the people, Sui
eide is indefensible.
yet it is on the increase in every
land and among all classes. Modern
civilization cannot claim that it has
fostered and developed the bonds that
bind men to just appreciation of
life. Statistics of suicides are alarm:
ing, especially in such countries as
Denmark, Bavaria and several parts
of the German empire. But, no doubt,
many more perish by their own act,
whose names never appear on the
statistical roll of suicides.
"The offense is either committed in
a way that battles human skill in it's
effort to determine the cause of
death, or means are found by influen-
tial and wealthy friends to hide away
the crime.
But if so many with suicidal intent
find courage for the sad deed, who
can calculate the number who would

Chicago:-It is doubtful if the most
depraved young wretch in any civil
izeA community, the utterly friend
less wait of big city, suffering from
the privation of the scantiest neces-
sites OF life, would exchange places
with Willie Benthusen, the primeval
boy of Illinois, whose case has no
known parallel.
His experience has been a peculiar
one and the strange degeneracy of the
lad has set psychologists and sociol-
oglsts to thinking deeply. This wild
boy" only recently discovered, for five
years, or since the death of his moth
er has led hermit-like life in, close
proximity to town throbbing with
activity, progress, advancement and
all that goes to make up the desirable
factors in modern civilization.
Eating raw fish, gophers and birds,
wild fruit and vegetation, Willie, who
has just turned Is, has been absolute
ly alone, without companionship, keep
Ing entirely aloof from the rest of
mankind. Spending his days in the
woods and sleeping on bed of straw
at night, the strange lad has spent his
time happily, according to his own
notions. His parents, until the death
of Willie's mother, lived in Elgin, Ill.
When his mother died. abandoned by
his father, the boy took to the near
by woods, where in all seasons he
has lived alone
Willie's condition was discovered by
the American Home Finding associa-
ton, through one of it's agents, Miss
N. M. Stiles. She came upon him at
his wilderness abode, near Elgin,
while he was partaking of what he
regards as a sumptuous repast of raw
fish. Notwithstanding the hardships
he endured during his strange exist
ence, the boy, according to Miss
Stiles, enjoyed and is now in perfect
health.
Benthusen's means for securing
subsistence consisted of a blowgun, a
sling and bent pin attached to a
fish line. With these he has had no
trouble in obtaining his daily supply
of food, and it must have been am
pie, for he has a hearty appetite. To
garb himself he traded birds and fish
to rural travellers for cast-off clothing.
Miss Stiles at once reported to the
society her discovery of the juvenile
prototype of Robinson Crusoe, and

naturalist saw a bald eagle swoop
downward 200 rods in front of him,
and moment later rise with grouse
in mis- talons. He rightly judged that
the bird had taken part Of the days
spoils and was laughing that so good
joke had been played upon him,
when the eagle lost it's grip and down
came the grouse.
The eagle scared about for a few
moments and then, folding it's wings,
shot toward the ground, uttering
sharp cries as it descended. The trees
shut out further observation at the
time, but when Mr.. Horn heard sharp
squallings mingled with the harsh
notes of the bird he concluded that
something interesting was going on,
and with his companion he hurried
forward to the top of ledge over
looking depression into which the
eagle had dived.
On arriving at the ledge the men
were just in time to witness a most
unusual woodland battle. A couple of
Canada lynx, which had in all prob
ability been after the grouse when
their rival took it off, had now recov-
cred their prey and were fighting
desperately to retain it. The eagle
was making an equally strong fight
to retain what his carelessness had
lost, and fur and feathers flew in a
cloud, while the stiffness of the for
est was rent by the cries of the COM
batants.
For moment or two honors were
about even, but one eagle is no match
for two lynx and the old bald-head
was getting the worst of the fight
when his mate reinforced him. A
third lynx, which had been attracted
by the hubbub, also put in an appear
ance, but after one look he skunk
away, leaving his fellows to their
fate. AS the battle progressed, now
one side and then the other seeming
upon the point of victory, third
eagle dropped from the sky, and with
his arrival the fate of the lynx was
sealed. They fought on, however, un-
til one lost aa eye, when they ran
for cover.
They didn't get far, for the eagles
were too much aroused to let them es-
cape, and they sever ceased until both
forest cats were dead. Then they de.
voured the grouse and flew of.

mass of modern hairpins and feminine
furbelows. The sitting room of Nellie
Custis, that of Martha Washington,
the family dining room and the library,
each with its wealth of heirlooms, tells
of the painstaking care and research
OF many years. In these rooms the
Regents sleep, and work, and live, and
Undue themselves with the spirit of
the Washingtons.
The attendants, for the most part,
are more replete with new uniforms
than historical information, but there
is reason for knowing that it was in
the dear old library that Washington
received the Official announcement of
his election as president of the United
States. There are II closets in three
sides of this room-curious little
closets within closets, none percepuble
to the passing traveller, but cleverly
concealed as a part of the walls and

You must wade knee deep through
cherry tokens to reach the old con-
servatory, with the quaint, rambling
servants quarters tucked away under
the caves on each side, while sloping
roofs and whitewashed walls remind
one somehow of Bobbie Burns.
It is curious how the American trav.

Women Of Congregation Confronted
with a New Rule of the Pastor.

Walla Walla, Wash.-Rev. James
Reid of the First Presbyterian church
sprung a surprise on the women of
his congregation and for a time it
looked as if the situation might be
such as to call for stern action by the
pastor, or the abandonment of new
rule which he desired to enforce.
After the concert by the Sunday
school orchestra and the Offering, the
pastor announced that before proceed
ing with his discourse all women
would be given an opportunity to re-
move their hats. A look Of surprise
came over the faces Of those wearing
hats, and while some commenced to
comply with the request, and were
thanked In advance by the pastor,
there were two or three who did not
seem inclined to be In q hurry. Final

never forgive him. She would not
even wait for him until death or some
unforeseen calamity should set him
free. Perhaps she would even marry
the hated Rembert, the too-eloquent
Rembert, who had had . hand in his
undoing!
For some weary days thereafter
Dickey was led about and shown of
by his fiancee, manfully trying to look
as little miserable a. possible, even in
dim way to make love. That he did
it badly he knew, and it did not help
him in the least to see her pause and
look at him with interest at such
times. 1t was a telegram that broke
the spell and proved the signal for the
breakikg-up of the house party. Miss
Garner read it at the breakfast table,
and twisted the yellow slip thought

will you drive me down to catch the

There were EXPLANATIONS of sorrow
on all sides, and one cried out, "Oh,
well, If you are going, think shall
leave in the morning.
In a few moments Mrs. Arnaud knew
that her house party would be fitting
before another day had closed, but she
smiled. 1t had been great success.
Dickey's nerves thrilled little as
he gathered up the reins. They were
all crowded around her and could not
let her 60. How popular she was,
after all-and how stunning! At least
it was something that this splendid
creature was going to be his wife, and

she had been unable to resist him!
Dickey sat up little stralghter, and
gave the bay thoroughbreds "a flick
that they instantly resented by nearly
pulling his arms from the sockets.
They were less than half a mile from
the station before he had them under
control again. Then he glanced side
ways at the face under the slanting
hat-brim. It was all over with Fan,
and he might as well make the best
of it. He put his arm around her.
II wouldn't do that, Dickey dear, If
I were you," she said. sweetly, restor.

place.
I'D like to know why?" said Dickey,

Because we're not engaged, Dickey, -
she said, with charming smile. BE
cause it's all OF, and you're going back
to the little Deering girl and be a good
boy all the rest of your natural life.
There is the station, Dickey-and drive
carefully now"
Dickey was still gasping when she
fluttered up the platform beside him.
Not engaged?
But what do you mean?" he cried.
Aren't we engaged?"
mo, we're not engaged, my son.
she said, with little motherly air.
you know you talk so loud when you
are plotting, Dickey-and the truth is,
I was in the summer house that night
you made it up"
Dickey shrunk visibly. His smart
outing suit became suddenly misfit
He pressed his hand to his forehead
"But Rembert!" he groaned. Good
heavens, he'll never get over it,"
Miss Garner laughed. Hes eoine
up on the same train with me. It's
four hours from here home, and if
can't manage little thing like that
In four hours I don't deserve to sue
ceed."
She had gone into the car, and was
leaning from window. "Oh, Dickey!'
she called, sweetly, Il forgot to tell
you that Mr.. Rembert was in the sum
mer house, too"
And Dickey leaned against the red
wall OF an unsympathetic railroad sta
ton and wept.
