THE BLUE JAY.
Why Should He Be Selected as Sand
Bearer to Satan7

Why Should He Be Selected as Sand
Bearer to Satanf
1t is said and believed by many that
all the blue jays disappear every Fri
day, and not one can be seen until the
next day, and this disappearance Is ac-
counted for by the statement that the
birds are under a compact with Satan
and that they devote each Friday to
delivering him a supply of sand to
heat his caldron at the point Of tor
ture.
But why should the blue Jay be select
ed as sand bearer to Satan when there
are so many birds Of stronger and
feeter wing? There are many super
stttions that have a reasoning basis.
but this particular one has nothing
whatever to go on.
The origin OF It lies In the fact that
the blue jay Is a most particular home
builder. He knows how to build his
house, and he takes a great pride In It
He doesn't hang his nest to a limb nor
glue 1t to a tree.
Instead he selects a substantial fork
or crotch of a limb. lays down a few
twigS of goodly size and strength, ano
on these he superimposes a strong
foundation of clay, with layers Of pa
pers between, and when his nest Is fin
ished 1t is as substantial In proportion
as one Of our modern steel structures.
Thus fitted and finished, 1t is admi-
rably adapted to the rearing of a
strong and healthy brood, and the blue
jay goes about his business with the
earnest energy that characterizes all
his movements.
He raises his young and leads them
about from tree to tree and from bush
to bush until they have tried and
found their wings, and then, his re-
sponsibilities being over, he proceeds
with his career of gayety, a veritable
practitioner Of rough fun and stage
humor.-Uncle Remus' Magazine.

BIRDS AS THEY SLEEP.
Quail Form a Dense Circle With All
Heads Facing Out.

The nightcap preparations of the
chubby little quail are very interesting.
Each evening the covey forms In a new
place, and this selection of the spot
entails serious efforts. Bobwhite new
er quite loses remembrance Of the
many dangers which make his life in a
wild state one great fear. A white
throated male with soft clucks calls
together a dozen of his comrades, and
for a few minutes they all huddle to-
gether, but soon from the farther end
of the aviary a clear "Whew-bobwhite!'
rings out, and off scurry the whole
band, this time perhaps to settle for
the night In the new place-a dense
circle of little forms, heads all facing
out, just as In their native stubble they
rest facing In every direction, SO that
at the first hint of danger from any
point. of the compass the covey may
explode and go booming off In safety.
Poor little fellows, their wild life is
strenuous indeed Well for their race
that every nest holds from ten to eight
cen eggs instead Of three or four!
The w~oodpeckers sleep resting upon
their tails, even the fiickers invariably
following this custom, although during
the day the 1ickers spend much Of
their time p%erching in passerine a
ner, crosswise upon a twig. Small
birds, such as thrushes and warblers,
sleep usually upon some small twig,
with heads tucked behind wings In
orthodox bird fashion, but they occa-
sionally vary this In a remarkable way
by clinging all night to the vertical
wires of their cages, sleeping apparent
ly as soundly in this as In the usual
position Of rest. A blueblrd In a small
Gag slept thus about one or two nights
out of pach weekz - xplanatio Homes
this voluntary and widespread habit
among perching birds would be difficult
to suggest.
The little hanging parrakeets derive
their name from their custom of sleep
ing always in a reversed position, and
when distributed ove their roosting
tree they resemble some strange, pend
ant, green fruit rather than sleeping
birds.-Outing Magazine.

GREAT EXODUS
TO SIBERIA

ST. PETERSBURG, August 29.-One
of the most gigantic migratlons in his
tory has been proceeding quietly and
now Russians find they have a great
nation in Siberia. During the past
twelve months more than 100000 Rus
slams have gone to Siberia. Prince Vas
siltchikoff, Minister of Agriculture, has
furnished the Douma with figures or
migration across the Ural mountains.
For several years before 1906 it was
$4,000 annually. In 1906, 10000; IN
1907, 100000. In the first three months
of this year it was 100000, comprised
in 10000 families.
The accounts OF Siberia brought
home by soldiers returning from the
Russo-Japanese war impressed the
poverty-stricken moujiks with glow
ing ideas of Siberias vast natural
wealth. The peasantry have little
faith besides, in the measure the
Grand Council OF the Empire is TAX
ing to settle the burning agrarian
question. Emigrants seldom go singly
or even in families. They gather in
colonies for the exodus.

RICHEST WOMAN
TALK OF TIMES
REFLECTIONS OF HETTY GREEN,
WHO is OFF ON HER ANNUAL
VACATION.

BELLOWS FALLS (Vt), August ~.
THE women of America have helped
make hard times. All they live for, all
they care for, is clothes-the latest
shape in skirts. And they are none too
particular how they get what they
want or who pays for it,
This from Hetty Green, the richest
woman, who today began her annual
vacation of a month. When dinner was
announced on the train she produced
an apple and three crackers from her
reticule and fed herself.
81 do not say American women are
immoral" she continued, but they do
not care what fearful prices their hus-
bands and brothers must pay for their
finery. Times are bad in New York,
and New York deserves hard times.
All are spendthrifts, money MASTERS,
down there. This will be hard win
ter and we will not see good times be-
fore spring. The election will not help.
The panic must run it's course.
''Moneyed men are doing nothing to
stop it, The Standard Oil could stop
hard times with a stroke of the pen
but Rockefeller will not do it. 1t will
cost the Government $28,000,O00 to
collect that $29,OOO,OOO from him."

New Orleans Especially. - Fire,
which broke out in the center OF the
commercial district here, swept over
portions OF three blocks, destroying
a large number of Wholesale houses
manufacturing plants and small
stores. Originating at Bienville and
Chartres Streets, the flames worked
their way north as far as Conu
street and west toward Royal, bring
ing about a property loss of between
SI,0OO,O00 and S2,00O,0OO before
they we're finally subdued.
At the time the alarmed was turn
ed In, shortly before 3 O'Clock, the
New Orleans firemen we're in the
midst OF their annual picnic at su-
burban park, and the engines and
patrols responded with a mere hand
full of men. When the picniekers
finally reached the scene 1t was even
then impossible to make a successful
fight against the flames, owing to an
Inadequate supply of water.
The fire was one of the most spec
tacular that has occurred in New Or
leans during recent years. The sec
ton devastated was made up largely
of old buildings, some over a half
century in use. They were like so
much tinder to the flames, and fan
ned by q high wind, the fire made
rapid progress.
Two warehouses, filled with wines
and liquors, were among the build
ings destoyed by the fire. AS they
burned the barrels of whisky and
brandy exploded with roars which
could be heard for blocks, and which
shook the walls of adjoining build
ings, and dangered the lives of fire
men engaged in fighting the flames.
The fire was gotten under control
after several hours hard work.
Among the establishments burned
were:
Central Glass Company

A FLAW IN THE
new CURRENCY BILL
May In One Respect Render It
Useless.

Washington Especially The Aid
law at which Congress and President
Roosevelt worked so laboriously
last year and which cost so much
cracking of the party whip to secure
it's passage bids fair, in one respect
at least, to be practically dead let
ter. The principal feature of the
law was the formation of national
currency associations by the nation
al banks of each locality, which were
to take out the currency for their sec
tions to and guarantee to the Treas
ury Department the securities put
with the Secretary as collateral for
bank notes. The banks in New
York. Baltimore, Chicago, Boston
and other large cities took up the
question of organizing local currency
associations, but two obstacles pre-
sented themselves, with the result
that up to the present time the only
association that has been formed is
that of the banks in Washington.
The few objections were, first,
that under the law each bank would
have an equal voice in the proceed
ings of the currency association re-
gardless of its capital or surplus.
and, second. that there was no pro-
vision in the law by which bank
could withdraw from an association
after having once Joined. The
national banks of New York and
Baltimore wrote to Secretary Cor
telyou pointing out these objections,
and 1t was intimated that unless
there was a remedy the associations
would not be formed Secretary
| Cortelyou referred both questions to
! the Solicitor of the Treasury, and
received an official opinion that there
was no authority either in the Sec
retary of the Treasury or elsewhere
| to waive or amend the provisions
| which were declared Objectionable.
Mr. Cortelyou next called upon
Attorney General Bonaparte for
| decision on that feature of the law
which makes it impossible for bank
to secede from an association. No
| opinion was asked on the relative
voting power OF the constituent banks
of an association, as Mr.. Cortelyou
held il was self-evident that each
bank must have the same voice in
an association. But he realized that
unless the banks could withdraw, the
law would probably remain dead so
far as it provided for the currency
associations.
The Department of Justice has
rendered its opinion. 1t holds with
the Solicitor of the Treasury that a
bank having once Joined an associa
tion cannot withdraw, but it sug-
gests that withdrawal may be pos
sible on the unanimous consent Of
all the other banks which remain in
the association. AS the only Cir
cumstances under which bank
when once in an association, would
want to withdraw are conditions
when every other bank would insist
on each bank assuming it's full share
OF the associations responsibilities
1t is evident that Mr.. Bonaparte's
opinion is practically the same as
that of the law officer OF the Treas
ury, namely, that bank cannot
withdraw
Mr.. Cortelyou has accepted the in
vitation of the New York bankers
to meet them in that city next week
10 discuss with them the currency
law in its application to the banks.

GAGGED, TIED AND ROBBED.
Small Boys Are Victims OF Youths
In Chicago.

Chicago Especially. - Stripped to
the skin, gagged and bound, two
small boys were beaten until they
were all but unconscious by two
larger boys In the lonely woods of
Forest Glen.
Their assailants we're arrested by
the Irving Park police after a search
that lasted more than Is hours. One
OF the torturers of the boy was
caught In the act of mercilessly
beating the younger of the victims.
The boys who were beaten until
their skins are a mass of bloody
welts, some of them almost as big
as a mans finger, are Richard En-
ger and Richard Keenly Their as
sailants are Arthur Helmgren. 16
years old, and Joseph Caffiboin, IS
years old. Helmgren was released
on bail.
Forest Glen is a lonely part of
a suburb of Chicago, where the
woods are thick. When the young
the neighborhood was thoroughly
aroused and a volunteer posse was
formed. While the posse was search
ing a mall-carrier heard stifled cries
and entering a thicket saw Keenley
tied to a tree and Helmgren lashing
him pitilessly.
The mail carrier soon had Helm
gren by the coat collar, and, call
ing to another member of the posse,
rescued the almost unconscious lad.
Still further search revealed Joseph
Cafiboin, sullsn and defiant, hiding
in the vicinity.
