trespasser to appear was an Afro

Lancaster moved eastward with
some haste, and the bull did likewise.
At the east corner the west bulls col

Lancaster emerged from the east

realizes what it is for young girl to
make her social bow in the white

grant to Ethel just three months as a

When a student begins to break

either take him out of school or feed
him properly on food that will rebuild

BIRDS TRAVEL ALONG ROUTES.
All Have Not Same Representations
Great Distance.

The routes by which birds pass to
and from one country to another in
spring and autumn are regularly fol-
lowed. One great thoroughfare, of
course, is in the spring from south to
north, and conversely in the autumn
from north to south; another is south.
east to northwest; a third southwest
to northeast, with the return into the
same starting points, says the Scot
man.
The great southern wintering region
is south of the north of Africa and
extends to far beyond the equator,
and from 1t, under the breeding in
stinct in spring, birds hurry away to
dispense themselves over the wide
spreading palaearctic or northern
lands, which extend as far, in the
case of some species, as long way
within the arctic circle. South of the
equator during the northern winter
the migrants fly toward the south pole
to breed. The seasonal range limit
of some OF the northern breeding
birds is normous-several extending
from Patagonia to Greenland.
All migratory birds have not the
same range; some fly longer, some
shorter, distances. The best known
of all the birds of passage, the swal.
low has one of the longest ranges
from 1000 to 10000 miles. In this
extended range are also included such
birds as the gray plover, the knot, the
pectoral and curlew sandpipers and
the Asiatic golden plover.
The longer range-from 5000 to
1000 miles-includes such wellknown
birds as the cuckoo, the corncrake,
the sedge warbler, the greenshapF:
the moderate range-from 5000 to
5000 miles-embrace the turtle dove,
the crane, lapwing, mallard and jack
snipe; the third range-from 1000 to
1000 miles--such birds as the wood
chat shrike, the stone curlew, the
woodcock and black tern and in what
is called the restricted area-with a
mileage of 1000 miles downward
there are the waxwings, several gulls
and the elder duck.

woman have strong voice in saying
whether such and such man should
rule the republic of so-and-so?
Capital gossips assert Theodore
Roosevelt will keep his promise not
to run again for the presidency, and
in that retirement he will be fulfilling
not merely his promise to the people
but his pledge to his wife.
Mrs. Roosevelt has informed exceed.

and she long ago decided that, purely
as a family affair, not political one,
they and theirs would leave the white

young daughter Ethel to Washington
