From the lake between the hills ever so far away from Montgomery. the lake whose surface Is covered with great tray-like leaves, a week ago a huge bird came sailing and soaring toward the Montgomery capital He was white except for black tips on his wings, which stretched nearly fifteen feet from tip to tip, and his long, ab- surdTy awkward yellow legs seemed even more awkward and absurd as they stretch ed down the taions grasp~ ing the knot of a big silken bag. si9a @
 The whistle of his huge wings could be heard as he sailed through the air and the occasional dropping of a feather marked the way he had come.
 He reached the platform around the base of the dome of the Capitol week ago, just before morning, and being very tired, settled down and slept all day. Then when night came he undid the strings of the bundle and picked out something pretty and pink i.nd ws nm, with the sweetest ey ss that ever were. Up he flew in great cir cle until he came to house. ani si- lently ope,ling the window, flew irside and depCs.ted the precious piece of freight. Then he went back to the tower, toois a deep breath, lighted his pipe and after ruminating by substi- tuition a while. picked our anofnSr baby and flew of with 1t.
 Night after night, all the week, he kept up the distribution. regardless of hue, for the big stork has never even considered such a thing as a color line, for when he has them in charge they look a whole lot alike, the future hue being taken on by environment.

 The ota1 expended in this period by all canties was $e6.l53.Se. This leaves an aggregate balance to all counts credit of $34,67l.ss. The to- tai ahilable appropriation by the State Eas $9s,714.0s.
 The expenditure just referred to does lot nearly represent all the moneJspent In the State in the period for bidding new country school houses and iproving old ones. By the very act c the last Legislature making the snding annual appropriation of $67,0d the gift is conditioned on the counts subscribing at least an equal amout to be expended for the same purpoe.

To Expose Letter-File ThieDes
 In Present Political Canapaign

New York, Oct. 4--(speciaL)-- With half a dozen private detective agencies and the police sif' ng every clue on the face of Manhattan to-day, it is ex- pected that one of the most bold and clever gangs of letter-file thieves will be expesed before the end of the present campaign. Preying upon the private documents Of what they con- slider big game in the present politi- cal crisis, an aggregation 1f the nost expert crooks of the country are as- serted by the detectives to have under way at the present moment a gigantic plot of burglary and blackmail. To the mysterious machinations of these daring operators the Investigators are to-day laying the blame he present rihing of the letter files in one politi- cal headquarters as well as other con- spicuous losses of the correspondence of corporations. For years the police have had an eye on particularly clever clique in the underwt Id which followed this very methos in non-poli- tical fields. To-day they declare they will track and break t up at all har- yards. Should they succeed. everybody In town Is eagerly awaiting develop ments.

 Not since the days of .he Committee of Fifteen and the Jerome sledge- hammer raids has the tenderloin been so stirred along these highways where bars and bolts and bargaining with the bluecoats have protected a wild whiri of gambling all summer. Bing- ham and Jerome are grinding hard and fast as upper and neither millstohes between which 1t will go hard with a crooked commander of precincts where the law has been laxly enforced. The men behind the many palaces of ance have reaped a fine harvest since spring and the whirl of the wheel has reached everyone who passed through scores of side streets. The broken bookmaker has been driven to the green cloth for e livelihood and swelled the list of practising gamblers. Altogether Is Is considered high time that this rising scandal be stopped and that the pro- tecting police be made the victims instead of the confding players.
 Spinal Speculation.
 About the tiny torso of little Mir. Harriman the eyes of all New York are focusing to-day. As hangs the spine of the puny magnate; so. it would appear, hangs the wagging of the money world. At the hint of a knot in the Hartman spinal chord, stocks sagged In sympathy the other day. while their course now holds according to the various denials or combinations of the original story of the ma1ady of the diminutive fnancier. As Hartman is always hid to the. eyes of tn general public here, his present condition is still a mystery. Just now the crippled limbs of a couple of baseball players share public interest with the plight of Hartman. Whether the Giants of the wall Street League can play the game with a disabled star as handily as the baseball nine remains to be seen.

naleful Birds.


 scarcely less grave than the problems of handling this harbor's sweeping in- Aux of immigrants Is the question of dealing with the allen host of spar rows which fs numbering many millions as 1t settles down upon the streets and parks of the metropolis to-day for the winter season. Half a century ago a handful of House Sparrows. imported from England. were let lose in one of Goth am's church yards, the only p- resentatives of their race. To-day the descendants of tb6 se baleful birds have taken possession of every out door inch Of the islan1. driving the native songsters fl m their field of usefulness and stunting and defiling every growth of the city's rare vegetation.
 New York has found 10 use for the English Sparrow and is mourning the loss of the good American breeds which he has ruthlessly driven awcy. To teach every good citizen to know and value his own sparrows and other birds the National Association of Audubon Societies has just hegun a wide campaign of education from this city. Every dweller in this metropolis overridden by the foreign pests is in- terested in this latest movement of the tireless Audubon WorDeTs.
