A young lady Of Wisconsin, Miss
Reina Wright, is said to have mastered
the language of birds.
A natural love of all feathered crea
lures caused her to spend years in the
woods studying their habits, and now
she is said to be able TO reproduce the
notes of birds so perfectly as to de-
ceiye the birds themselves.
on one occasion she visited a house
where many canaries were kept and
initiated their song. When she stopped
the birds all sung in emulation. using
every trill and roulade Of which they
were capable. Again Miss Wright

How to Keep Things Cold Without Ice.


An ingenious woman has devised a
plan for having good, cold milk and
butter without ice. It is a homemade
dairy or pantry. so cheap and success
full that any housewife who has plenty
of water can have one with very little
work Make a frame. any size. but
strong enough to carry tub of water
on top. and cover the frame with hes
sian or sacking Put tub on top and
fill 1t with water and put wooden
strips two and three inches wide in 1t
so that they feed the water down and
keep the sacking wet all the time. The
air blowing through the wet sacks
keeps everything almost as cool as If
1t were III a refrigerator, and the but
ter and milk taste better than if 1t
were shut from the air. Moreover. it
will keep fresh much longer in this
dairy An old blanket makes the best
feeding strips. Put in enough to have
three or four to each side. The prin-
ciple is that of the water bag, and we
all know how cool the water is kept
in the soaked canvas.

How to Cure sIeeplessness.

Sleeplessness generally is only ex-
perienced by people Of nervous temper
ament and is caused, as rule, by an
overabundance of blood in the head.
The most natural remedy for this is
something that will cause the blood to
flow to the proper channels. Friction
applied to the surface Of the entire
body will draw the blood away from
the head After undressing briskly rub
the entire surface Of the body with a
flesh brush or coarse. dry towel
If this fails to bring relief. place the
hands and feet In as hot water as can
be borne and drink glass Of hot milk
or a cup of hot cocoa or chocolate.
This rarely fails to bring relief.

Algernon Sydney Sullivan. president OF
the New York auxiliary of the South
ern Industrial Education Association,
a delegation will attend a meeting of
the national association in Washington.

Mrs. Sullivan gave an extended talk
today on the work the association has
done and what it hopes to do. Some
of the things she said were:
"This is a national and patriotic work.
We all know of the millions of poor
mountaineers who, in the sparsely set
tied portions of Georgia. Alabama, Ken
lucky, Tennessee and North Carolina,
have no education and no means Of
getting it.
What we aim to do is to interest the
Northern people in these poor noun
%taineers, who are, in reality. the back
bone of the country. With the aid Of
funds we hope to start schools in in
duStrial centers. We want to teach
the poorer whites how to read and write
and to open up fireside industries, such
as carpentry, spinning. weaving, co
ing and sewing.

NATIVES DISREGARD RULES.
Alaskan Authorities Have Trouble En-
forcing Sanitary Regulations.

Washington, Feb. IA report of
q startling nature, in regard to in
terror conditions in Alaska, was re-
ceived by the senate Thursday from
United States Judge Gunnison at
Juneau. He said hat the impossible
" of making natives understand con-
tagion constituted a menace to the
entire population of Alaska, including
the whites. He strongly urged the
passage of legislation empowering
the territorial authorities to enforce
sanitary regulation. Judge Gun
nison said that under his instruc-
tions the grand jury had made an
investigation which showed that ma
lives suffering from contagious dis
cases are permitted to travel at will,
occupying the same railroad coaches
with white citizens and lodging at the
same hotels. The report showed that
tuberculosis and trachOma, as we'll as
other contagious diseases. are COM
NOR among the natives and hat they
disregard all rules of sanitation.

SAY POSTALLAN VIOLATED
SUIT FILED AGAINST AMERICAN
EXPRESS COMPANY IN
CINCINNATI.
FIRST MOVE IN CAMPAIGN
District Attorney Charges the United
States Is Losing Through Com
NOR Carriers-PenaIty for
Violation 500.

Cincinnati, O., Feb. 14.-Violation
class mail matter was charged against
the American Express Co. in a suit
fild in the United States district court
here yesterday by District Attorney
Mcpherson.
This suit was the first 10Y in a
campaign which the government pro-
poses to wage against common car
riers on the charge of carrying first
class mail matter contrary to law.
In the petition which the attorney
filed he alleged that the company Jan.
Ii carried a letter from Texas to Gin
Cinnati. The letter was from Mrs.
Will Brown of Bolton, Tex. and in it
she ordered from a glove company
twelve pairs of gloves, and incloSed an
express money order for $2.47 in pay
ment. Attorney Mcpherson claims the
letter did not relate to the business Of
the express company and that the en-
velope did not bear a postage stamp,
as required by law. The penalty for
NiOidtlOn OF tnlS provision OF the led
raj statutes is 800.
Col. Holmes, ~postOffice inspector in
charge, said:
The government is very jealous Of
its right to carry the mails and in
sists on it always When public car
riers carry letters o bearing post
age stamps and not pertaining to the
business of the carrier they are pre-
venting the government from deriving
postage money from the sale OF
stamps.
About five years ago the govern
ment waged war against carriers for
such an offense. 1t is the opinion of
the government officials that common
carriers are becoming too lax in refer
enc to carrying mail matter not prop
erly stamped, and that prosecution of
a few cases is necessary to bring to
their attention the fact that they are
violating the law"

WIND WRECKS TOWN
FOUR PERSONS REPORTED DEAD
AT TYLER, TEXAS.
WIRES DOWN IN ALL DIRECTIONS
Swept Over the Main Residence
Section of the City.

Tyler, Tex, Feb. 15.-Tyler was
swept by the most disastrous tornado
in its history Friday morning about 4
o'clock. Coming up from the south
west, the storm swept the main
residence section of the city, leaving
a trail of death and devastation.
The known dead numbers four-C.
A. Francis, agent of the Dallas News,
wife and child about l year old, and
an old negro named Nose Lee, 80
years of age.
Francis was about IS years of age
and occupied a high place in the es-
TEEN of his fellow townsmen. His
dead body was found 100 yards from
his wrecked home and the body of
his child was found in the street. Mrs.
Francis was in the wreckage in the
building.
Six seriously injured had been re
ported at noon yesterday. They we're
Irwin Franklin, Mrs. Franklin, four
Franklin children. One of the children
is expected to die. They were caught
in the wreckage of their home.
Larger Death List Expected.
1t is expected that the death list in
Tyler will reach twelve and the num-
Der of injured will aggregate two
score or more. Twelve buildings were
wrecked and in the confusion which
exists it is difficult to compile an &C
curate list of the casualties.
Wires are down in all directions
from Tyler and, while reports from
farmers who are fastening to ascer-
tain the extent of the damage are to
the effect that farm houses all around
Tyler were blown down, it is impOs-
sible to ascertain the loss of life or to
approximate the extent of the disas-
ter. 1t is known. however, that the
tornado swept everything clean for a
distance of five miles. Three miles
from town it struck the home of Mr..
Irwin Franklin, demolishing the Struc-
ture and severely injuring Mr.. and
Mrs. Franklin and their four children.
The tornado came up from the south
west and tore a path through Tyler
zoe feet wide. Buildings, telephone
and electric light poles were laid fiat
in the storms path, while great dam
age was done in other parts of tho
city.

TELL TRUTH AT ALL TIMES
Not Question of Expediency-Busi-
ness Honesty at Low Stage.


New ork.-.John ID. Rockefeller,
Jr., in his annual address to the Young
Peoples Society of the Fifth Avenue
Baptist church tonight, deprecated low
standards of honesty in business meth
DDS of the present day. His theme was
High Standards"
zone of the highest standards for US
to follow is truthfulness," said he.
"Shall we tell the truth, regardless OF
consequences, because it is right to tell
the truth, or shall we, like the young
man in business, who finds his COM
petitorS getting on by misrepresenting
the goods they are selling, be tempted
TO tell lies? We must always tell the
truth, whether it is e~xpedient or not,
whether it is to our advantage or dis
ad vantage, whether it brings upon US
uccess or ruin.
Business honesty of the present age
is a pretty low grade of goods. Unfor-
tunately it is true that there are always
men and women who yield to the de-
sireS for success and power and resort
to dishonest methods, but for you aud
me there can be no question as to the
standard which we are TO take on this
subject.
"Our high standards should not be
laid away like Sunday clothes, to be
only at church and Sunday school.
They should be like the workingman's
overalls-used during the whole week"
