Tanning a Bird.

No creature is more jealous or sen.
sitive than bird. 1t is easy. however.
TO win the heart OF almost any bird,
and that without starving him or max.
ing him think he has mastered you.
Simply talk to him a great deal
Place his cage near you on your
desk or work table, and retain his
choicest dainty to give to him with
your fingers. Let him know that he
can never have that particular thing
unless he takes II from you, and he
will soon learn, II you are patient and
do not disconcert rim by fixing your
eyes upon him
After this he will more readily take
II from your lips; and then when
you let him out of his cage, after tho
first excitement is over, he will come
to you, especially II you have a call to
which you have accustomed him, and
accept the dainty from you while free.
As soon as he becomes really con.
vinced that you will not hurt him. or
try to catch him, or interfere in any
way with his liberty, he will give way
to his boundless curiosity about you;
he will pull your hair, pick at youi
eyes and give you as much of his com
pany as you desire.

Hugh French, Hampton, Only Recently
Out of Reform School.
Special to Times Republican.
Hampton, May ga young man by
the name Of Hugh French, has gotten
himself into serious trouble here by
appropriating about twenty-five of the
hard-earned dollars Of man named
G. Buerer. Mr.. Buerer is a laboring
man and was boarding at the Grimes
restaurant on Fourth street. While
asleep, his room was entered and the
sum named taken from his pocketbook.
The same night there disappeared
from the place, the young man under
supicion, and it was at once surmised
that he was the guilty one.
Sheriff Jernegan was notified of the
theft, and soon located Mr.. French at
Eldora, where he was arrested and
brought back. At the preliminary hear
Ing, which was held before Justice
Parks, French entered plea of guilty,
and he was bound over to the grand
jury, who will consider his case at the
next term of the district court. French
has but recently been released from
the industrial school at Eldora, and
altho he is young in years, it seems
that he has had some experience in
this kind of work before. French had
been employed in the restaurant for
several days, and no one had any sus-
picions that he might be light fingered.

Saunders Voted Against Resubmission

Special to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City, May 2S.-"It is my be-
lief" said State Senator S. G. Saun-
ders, Of Council Bluffs, at the West ho-
tel, that ten years more will see every
saloon in Iowa closed.
''The approach to a state of prohi-
bition will be an evolutionary one
however" he continued. 1T will be the
result of the growth of public senti-
ment rather than of immediate legis-
lation, tho legislation will so affect the
saloon business that it will be no longer
as welcome an occupation from the
standpoint of profit, as it is now.
"The last session of the Legislature
did much for the temperance cause
and for law and order. Down in Coun-
Gil Bluffs, for instance, several saloon
keepers recently took their lawyers into
their saloons, and asked them to tel
just what it was necessary to do tc
abide by the law. Such an action had
never before been heard of there"
Senator Saunders explained his posi-
ton on the resubmission question H.
was opposed to resubmisson, he said
because he did not believe in a pro-
hibition law not supported by public
sentiment to a sufficient degree to en-
able its effective enforcement. If IT
could not be enforced. the example OF
unsurpassed law breaking would, he
thought, be far more injurious to the
youth of the state than the presence OF
the saloons
