HOME OF THE RUNNING BIRD.
America Has Almost Monopoly of
Gems of FeatIlered Creation.

Gems of Feathered Creation.
Though the art museums OF
Europe may have some treasures OF
which America cannot boast, our
continent has the distinction of a
monopoly of the worlds supply Of
humming birds, the gems of all the
feathered creation. OF these there
are said to be some 400 species
the 400 we may well call them
nearly all OF which are peculiar to
the tropical regions, Only eighteen
cross the borders of the United
States from Mexico, and occur only
in our southwestern states.
The popular idea is that the hum
mer lives only on honey gathered
from flowers. This is a mistake
The bird does secure some honey
| but it's food consists mainly OF the
small insects which frequent the
! flowers. Some of these insects are
| injurious to the blossom, and the
tiny bird fuIfiIIs a useful function
in destroying them. That the hum
mer is insectivorous is also shOwT
by its habit of catching tiny insects
on the wing. which is occasionaIE

scription on American Coins.
From the Macon Telegraph.
Congress has decided that Presi'
dent Roosevelt made a mistake IL
ordering stricken from our gold coin
the words quoted at the head of this
article and it has directed the di-
rector of the mint to restore it.
The Telegraph approves heartily
the action of congress.
Silly paraphrases on the word OF
God, light and frivolous invocations
to the Supreme Being, not to men
ton wicked and blasphemous uses
made of His name, are wrong, but
a serious declaration by great ma
| ton. made on it's coin which circu-
| lates throughout the world, that In
God We Trust is entirely proper
and reverent. 1t is declaration Of
faith in God, passing from hand to
hand, from citizen to citizen, which
is not only a wise confession of that
faith, but a reminder to the citizen,
which cannot be made too often, of
the need and use % trust in Him
To omit the inscription would not
necessarily involve a declaration that
as a nation we did not trust in God,
but since this generation found it
on our coin to remove it would be
to squint in that direction. To in
innate in general terms that we did
not trust in Him would mean in the
same general way that there is no
God or that we doubted that there
is a God. OF course it is matter of
common knowledge that there are in
dividuals who doubt, and who disbe-
lieve, but the nation that as a mass,
doubts is already damned. The ma
ton whose god is not the Lord
hangs over the abyss.
We did not start out to preach a
sermon, but we would like to add
that the element of trust, even in
human affairs, is a safer bulWark
than general doubt and suspicion, of
which we see so much. The most
suspicious are to be suspected most.
Trust is the guard and shield OF
childhood 1t is the basis of love.
1t is the hope of the Christian relt-
gion. 1t removes mountains OF
doubt, distrust and misery.
But we seem to have come upon
a time of general distrust. Nearly
every man doubts his neighbor.
Every citizen is a suspect Even
the minions of the law and the pill
lars of the church are out on the
scout. AS many innocent men are
run in as guilty ones. Only recently
a church organization in Heighbor-
ing city adopted resolution CON
shutting the whole membership a !
detective body to apprehend VIOLA
tors of the civil law-every man a
policeman.
The world is bad enough, but 1t
is better than it believes its neigh
bors to be. More trust and less sus-
picfon will bring change Which
seems to be needed.
OF course evil-doers need to be
apprehended, and violators of the
law should be run down, but every
neighbor is not a bad man

nChuck If. Dukein

While the Duke of Connaught was in Cairo he went for stroll one morn- ing, and on his way back to his quar- ters he came face to face with an old Englishman wearing the ribbon of the Indian mutiny on his breast. The duke stopped and spoke to the man about his military service for some little time. Presently the man said. not knowing, of course, to whom he was speaking, Are you in the army yourself, then, sir?" The duke smiled and admitted that he was. Getting on all right" was the next question. The duke smiled again and said that he had not very much to grumble at. on the whole, though perhaps he was not doing quite so well as he could wish. No, and you never will. my boy" was the surprising retort of the veteran. What you want in the army today is either brains or a tremendous amount of influence behind you.

Recently French publication print ed a picture of some American girls fencing with umbrellas and stated that they were trying to acquire thus the necessary skill and assurance to parry. with simple gesture, an attack of Apaches.
 It also stated that this sport was not born in America; that for several years in France noted fencing mistress. Mime. Guillemot, at the same time that she taught fencing with the sword for hygienic reasons and for personal de- fense. also taught her pupils to play" with the umbrella.
 The article finishes by saying that il Is certainly 'piquant' that this modern application of an ancient sport was taught by Parislenne long before America claimed the original idea.
