The common red squirrel Is a relent-
less enemy of bird life. and the farm
or and gardener will be ahead at the
end Of the season If he exterminates
all these animals that frequent the
wood lots III the vicinity. 1t Is proba-
bly, because Of these graceful and cute
yet cruel little rascals so many va
rieties of birds shun wood lots as
nesting places, preferring rather to
make their homes nearer the dwellings
Of man. whittier these enemies come
less frequently to disturb them. SPUR
rels are all right In a pie; elsewhere
we prefer the birds.

Home From the Hunt.

| A. b. Cornell. wife, daughter and
son returned few days ago from a
three weeks camping and hunting trip
In the Galice creek country. While
away, Mr.. Cornell, his son and J. c.
Madison hunted on Howard creek and
were successful in baRging plenti-
fol supply Of game, having secured II
deer, 2 bear and panther. The pan.
ther was killed by Mr.. Madison just
in time TO save the life Of valuable
hunting dog. The dog was in ad-
vance of his owner and the panther
was crouched in tree, over deer
run and as the dog passed by, leaped
upon him. The dogs cries soon
brought his master to the scene and
knowing that his faithful canine had
no show against the ferocious animal
Mr.. Madison fired his gun in the air
to attract the panther's attention and
thus give the dog chance to get
away. The shot had the desired
effect and in an instant the panther
was rushing after Mr.. Madison. a
second shot however, killed him.
Carroll, the 12-year old son of A B.
Cornell probably has the record for
the state as a young hunter, having
on this trip killed four deer and
black bear
The outing was much enjoyed by
the Cornell family and they have laid
in stock Of health which will last
them for some time to come.

PRICES FOR TOMORROW NIGHT
JUST HALF THE PRICES IN Sc
ATTLE AND SPOKANE.

Considerable wonder has been eX
pressed at the low prices asked for
the Mile Westerlind concert at the
Wenatchee theatre tomorrow evening.
The usual prices asked for this grade
of concerts is a minimum of one dol
lar for the cheapest seat in the house,
while the best seats are from 81 to SO
The explanation of the advantage en-
joyed by Wenatchee in this instance
is that the enterprising new mana
gers of the local theatre heard of the
fact that Mile. Westerlind would pass
through here enrOute from Tacoma
to Spokane, and that she had an open
date. Good terms were given, pro-
vided special advertising should be
devoted to the event. And it was
promised that if the patronage of this
event showed appreciation of high
grade music by Wenatchee people,
more of this kind of entertainment
would be forthcoming.
One of the songs of Mile. Wester-
lind that has created tremndOus en-
thusiasm is her remarkable renri-
| ton of that favorite modern ballad,
The Rosary" Critics say that she
has given the much abused song a
new meaning. Another great favor
lite of the masses, who like lots Of
sentiment and melody in their music,
is 1.-The Absent To those who have
! never heard a truly great artist in
terpret one of these little ballads,

lation. Following is the full program
