Robins Killed for Food.

A million robins were killed IN
LoulsiIna during the winter of

and boys who shot them for food.
While they are protected as song
BIRDS in Northern States, 1t is a
common Southern practice to
shoot them tor the table and in
some States the hunters kill them
IN great mum bers at their roost-

do their duty: men who were paid from
money obtained from the pockets of the
people of this city to protect life and
property: men who were ordered by the
heads of departments of the police to go
out and dispense the mob and who not
only failed to use a club handle a pistol
or raise a voice against the mob on the
side OF law and order, but some of whom
are shown to have assisted by act and

destruction to thousands of dollars of
property and has brought the blush Of

Surprise Party,

On Friday evening, March 9th, the
home of Mrs. Nellie McHoes was the
scene of one of the most delightful OF
surprise" parties She had been in
formed that couple of the neighbors
were coming in for the evening and was
expecting them accordingly. Imagine
her surprise, when in response to a
knock at the door about s p. M, to see
guest after guest, laden with odd shaped
packages, boxes, baskets, ETC., file past
her, until the house was filed with a
jolly, laughing, merry making crowd.
As soon as she had sufficiently recover
ed her scattered senses, tables were
brought out, and games were most
heartily enjoyed until 1900 o'clock
when covers were laid, and all were
seated to enjoy repast that would glad
den the heart of an Epicure. A toast
was given to the writer of the most or
iginal love letter, and a sample was
read, amid deafening applause.
| would not like to tell just how late
they did remain, but suffice it to say,
the last departing guest was safely en-
sconced in his own domestic domicile
when the seven o'clock whistles blew.
Each one heartily Joined in the senti-
ment expressed by Mrs. McHoes that "a
genuine surprise party is the incest
thing what is"
