DANISH THE HousEFLY.
By EDWIN A. NYE.

Do you remember the pathetic poem
The Spider and the Fly" contained
in the old school readers?
You will, then, remember how your
childish sympathies were aroused In
behalf of the poor little fly that came
by cordial Invitation into the parlor
of the spider and was killed.
That poem was written I'm a day
when the fly was popularity regarded
as an annoying but harmless insect.
1t was not then generally known that
the common housefiy is the filthiesi
of all vermin.
BY comparison the spider is a bene
factor He cats flies.
The fly is born In filth. and his whole
history and habit are OF the slums. Be-
fore he was a fiy he was n maggot
He matches where flltlssserms hide.
He is dirty little beast. The only
toilet he makes Is that 10y rubbing his
legs over his body, scraping Off germs
OF typhoid and other diseases. so that
whatever any part OF him touches that
spot Is infected. One may have the
vigor Of vitality to throw Off the I'm.
lection, but the spot is nevertheless
infected
He Is not pleasant object OF con.
temptation, but he Is such an enemy
of humans that his true character
ought to be known
The fly Is liable to infect you with
tuberculosis. typhoid or scarlet fever
diphtheria and other infectious dis
eases. He is common carrier of dis
ease germs.
The mosquito Is an infection carrying
insect. but the mosquito family Is mo-
numerous, as Is the fly tribe. The
mosquito breeds In swamps and (.
. common to certain localities only. TIL,
fly Is everywhere.
That is the trouble.
Your premises may be sanitary. but
the fly may breed I'm the stable Of your
next door neighbor. He is n com
munity pest. Your neighbours scaven
ger gets into your food.
The fly should be kept out of the
house by screens until frost comes 10
kill him.
Food should be protected from the
flies at all hazard. Babies and the sicl,
need special protection.
Some housekeepers feel they are dis
graced by the presence OF bedbugs or
lice. But these pests are harmless
compared with the germ bearing
housefiy.
War to the death should be declared
on the vile vermin. His presence is a
disgrace. His touch may be deadly.
Use dy poisons. sticky paper. trans
anything by which he can be exter.
minated.
1t Is perhaps impossible to eliminate
the breeding places OF the insect.
Wherever there is filth there will be
flies. But one can keep the things out
Of ones house.

progress that inside or week young
Rothschild proposed and was accepted.
He then cabled the news 20 his
father. the baron, at Vienna. He re-
ceived a message In reply asking him
to wait awhile before marrying. Roth.
schild hurried to Europe to plead for
his fathers consent. arranging for
Olga Mem and her mother to follow.
Arrived I'm Vienna. the young man
received a stern rebuke. 1t was q
violation OF all the family traditions.
The policy OF thu Rothschild family
since the time OF it's founder has been
to concentrate the family wealth. Mar
riage is one of the means by which
this policy is accomplished.
The young man was broken hearted.
He returned to Hamburg. where he
told the girl OF his fathers decision.
and the engagement was broken.
Then. in IN impulse OF protestation
against the sordid pride of his family,
Oscar de Rothschild sealed his love
with his death.
His rash net proclaimed In tones
louder than words, .'You cannot buy
my hearts affection with gold"
1t IS a serious business. this traftick-
ing in human hearts and interfering
with strong natural affection.
Life is more than money. Life. real
life. Is abundant fullness, the fullness
OF love.
The force OF ar abiding love In It's

ity I'm Its realm.

A MODERN INSTANCE.

Money is a thing Of tremendous
power.
But when 1t clashes with the i'm
pulses OF nature it Is a futile force.
Young Oscar de Rothschild, son Of
Baron Rothschild Of Vienna, commit
ted suicide the other day by blowing
out his brains.
The story, which reveals a romance
that reads like a chapter from a mod
ern novel, is this:
While In this country on a travel
tour the young nobleman fell In love
with Chicago girl. Miss Olga Mem,
daughter of a surgeon attached to. one
OF the hospitals.
The companion of Oscar fell III, and
Dr. Mem attended him. In this way
the young man made the acquaintance
or DR.. Mem and was invited to his
home, where he met the daughter.
lt was case Of love at first sight on
both sides. So rapidly did the romance

BOBWHITE ET AL.

Who was Ii said he would not mum.
Der among his friends any one who
needlesSly set his foot upon n worm?
Ruskin said, Il will not needlessly
hurt or Kill living creature
Until recent years birds were looked
upon by the farmers and fruit raisers
as pests TO be destroyed. and the small
boys malignancy toward the song
STEERS may perhaps be traced to that
feeling.
The agricultural department. Of the
government Is doing much to educate
the farmer into understanding that
the bird is one of his best friends.
Birds are weed seed and insect de-
stroyers.
The busy creatures wage constant
war against the weeds. In the au-
tumn the birds get nearly their entire
SuStenance from the weed seeds The
swallow family especially - barring
chat pest. the English swallow-is one
OF the farmers best helpers I'm the
destruction of weeds.
Eobwhiie. the persistent, outspoken
orator of the meadows, is also loyal
assistant
Some interesting statistics have been
collected In the department concern
Ing bobwhite.
For instance
In Virginia and North Carolina from
Sept ] to April 30 there are four of
nm TO the square mile. Th, rrop OF
each bird holds All ounce Of seed I'm
TWO meals day, half being weed
seed. 1t Is then shown 10y actual fig
ures that the total CONSUMPTION OF
weed seed In the two states by this
one bird Is l.34l tons annually! And
there are others.
In the spring bobwhite eats grass
hoppers. chinch Mugs. potato bugs.
boil weevils. etc. In some places tba
appreciative farmers feed him I'm the
cold winter In order to keep him
around the premises?
The robin?
Well, to be sure, he eats some cher
ries and other fruit. But he ia on
utied TO some. He has worked hard
10 ria the orchards and fields OF mill
lions OF caterpillars and bugs.
What Is said about the swallow. the
robin and bobwhite is more or less
true Of the other birds. Almost the
entire food of their young comes from
insects and worms.
These facts are slowly coming TO be
generally understood. There is n bet
ter future ahead of the bird tribe.
and there Will be less vicious work of
the small boy.
Teach your child the value of the
birds.
During the early years tune his ears
to an appreciation Of their song. Can
attention to their Industry. their beau
~ and grace. Put some OF the poetry
OF the springtime and bird song into
his SOUL Instead of the brutal propen-
sity to kill. he will be q. lifetime lover |
OF the feathered family.
Spare the birds.
Ihey are kin to man. and they are |
MS earnest, faithful helpers.

SEVERAL POLITICAL CONVICTS
REACH AMERICA
FOUGHT WAY THROUGH SIBERIA
FOR 1900 MILES
FugitiVes Are Attired in Cossack Uni
forms Believed to Have Been Re-
moved from Guards Whom
They Killed
cBy Associated Press.J

CORDOVA Alaska, July 17.-Among
party of 100 Russians who arrived
here on the steamer St Croix from
Nome today are several believed to be
members of the band of political con-
victs who escaped from a penal colony
in the interior of Siberia several months
ago.
These men are wearing old COssack
uniforms and have been keeping their
own counsel, refusing to communicate
even with the other Russians who came
down from the north with them.
The party reached Nome from Siberia
on the Russian steamer Varg.
Immediately on arriving at Nome the
men re-embarked on the steamer st.
Croix and came to this port, where they
asked for work in the construction
camps of the Copper River & North
western railroad.
The uniforms worn by the men show
hard usage. 1t is believed they were
taken from guards killed in battle at
Chuketosk, near the Arctic circle, last
March, when the convicts defeated Il
company of pursuing Cossacks
The Russians who came from Nome
on the same steamer with the suspect
ed men profess to know nothing of
their identity, but share the belief that
they are survivors of the band of eXiles
who were fighting their way across 1900
miles of Siberian waste.

VICTIM
MAY RECOVER
OTTO MILLER REPORTED TO
BE IMPROVING
INQUEST ON SNYDER, KILLED BY
MINING MAN, ORDERED
Miguel Lopez, Third Man Shot by
Organizer, Is Out of Danger
at His Wilmington
Home

Otto Miller. a porter employed at the
United States hotel, who was shot
three times by Albert Ryan, organizing
secretary for the Western Federation of
Miners, in the lobby of the hotel Friday
evening, is slightly improved, and at
tendants at the Angelus hospital re-
ported late yesterday afternoon that he
has a good chance for recovery.
The body of H. %. Snyder, a mining
man, who was killed instantly by n
stray bullet from Ryans revolver, is at
the undertaking establishment of
Bresee Bros, where Coroner Hartwell
will hold an inquest probably Monday
or Tuesday.
Miguel Lopez, a laborer living at
Wilmington, who also was struck by
bullet from the automatic pistol in the
hands of Ryan. was sent to his homo
and is reported to be improving. The
missile struck him in the leg as he was
passing the hotel. His wound is not
serious, and he will recover.
When taken to the city Jail and into
the receiving hospital shortly after the
shooting Ryan appeared nervous and
seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
He stated that he had been drinking
heavily and wanted to have revenge on
Miller because the latter had kicked
him in the face during a brawl in II
saloon while Ryan was trying TO
separate two conbatants.
Yesterday Ryan appeared cool and
calm and showed but little effects of
his previous nervousness. He occupies
a cell in the city Jail, and probably will
not be arraigned in police court on n
charge of murder until after the in
quest over the body of Snyder.

No Trouble Materiallzes

PITTSBURG. July 17.-At McKee's
Rocks today the trouble predicted for
the last twenty-four hours between the
strikers of the Schoenville plant of the
Pressed Steel Car company failed to
materialize. AS early as 4 o'clock this
morning constabulary were patrolling
streets in the company's village Lieu
tenant Smith of the state constabulary
said this morning:
I'VE anticipate little trouble during
the next day or so. My men report
that orders to keep close to their
homes came from the strike leaders
last night"
A meeting of the striking men is
scheduled for late this afternoon when
an effort to finance the strike for an
extended period will be made. At a
meeting this morning a committee will
be appointed, it is reported, to call on
the mayor and city officials, either to
put an end to the strike or compel the
Pressed Steel Car company to submit
to arbitration. The strikers claim they
have 1000 men out and that only the
furnace men are working.
