NEW MOTHER FOR ROBINS.
When Mate Is Shot Male Bird Quickly
Gets Another Wife.

New Suffolk e. l. Dispatch to New
York Press.
1t is not an unusual thing for man,
mate to care for his motherless young
sters Few cases have been reported,
however, in which bird has resorted
to such an expedient. One of the few
was observed by George Jacobs of this
village. He has trees near his home.
Two robins built nest in one of tn EN-
recently, and Matched out a brood last
Friday. On Saturday heartless boy
from another section of the village shot
and killed the mother robin with an
air rifle. The cock robin was in des-
pair. 1t did the best it could to feed
and sh elter the little ones, but it was
poor best.
All day Monday it was busy finding
and carrying worms and other tdbits
to the nest. Then it flew away Jacobs
and his neighbors took it for granted
the bird had deserted the brood and
that the young robins would starve to
death. They were surprised and pleased
Tuesday, however. when the cock robin
returned, and with it new mate. The
two birds flew to the tree and examined
the nest. After conversing for few
minutes in the choicest of robin talk
the female hoped on the nest and
covered the youngsters. and the cock
robin flew away to look for food. In
a few minutes 1t returned with a
long, fat worm. Passing II over to its
new mate to be served to the half
starved birds. ii hurried away looking
for other dainties After many contri-
buttons to the family larder the cock
robin sat on a limb near the nest and
sang it's love song.

Having about completed my trip, | de-
cided | would stop a Birmingham, which
7 did. visiting the Birmingham Trunk
Factory, 315 N. Nineteenth street, where
found lust the trunk my wife wanted
and the price very reasonable. She, too,
was very much surprised when ! told
her where | bought the trunk This trunk
has been to Europe and almost every city
of any inheritance in the United States
and il lust as good today as 1t was four

in the world Is made in Birmingham, and
their prices are more reasonable than
those made elsewhere and 1t is saying

DIVORCE IN ENGLAND.
Were Formerly Granted by Special Act
of Parliament.
From Earper's Weekly.

From Earper's Weekly.
Before 1857 divorces In England were
only granted by special acts of parlia-
ment. 1t was the custom to pass these
acts only when a separation from bed
and board" had been first decreed by an
ecclesiastical court and when an action
for damages had been brought in the
civil court against the offending party.
The absurdities and injustices of such
q system were admirably brought out
by Justice Maule, in a case which was
tried before him in 1S45. The culprit was
a poor man who had committed bigamy.
The defense was that when the prisoner
married his second wife he had in reality
no wife, for his former wife had first
robbed and then deserted him, and was
now living with another man. The Judge
imposed a merely nominal penalty, but
he prefxed 1t by some ironical remarks
which made a deep and lasting impress
sion. Having described the gross provo
cation under which the prisoner had act
ed he continued: But, prisoner. you
have committed a grave offense in taking
the law into your own hands and marry
ing again. / will now tell you what you
should have done. You should have
brought an action into the civil court
and obtained damages, which the other
side would probably have been unable to
pay, and you would have had to pay your
should then have gone to the ecclesias-
teal court and obtained a divorce a men
So ct thoro and then to the House OF
Lords where, having proved that these
prelminaries had been compiled with,
you would have been enabled to marry
again The expense might amount to
$500, or f6OO. or perhaps 91ooO. You say
you are poor man, and you probably
do not possess as many pence But prls-
oner, you must know that In England
there is not one law for the rich and an
other for the poor"
Just as it was Justice Maule's scathing
announcement from the bench In lS43
that reused England to the necessity OF
remodeling her law of divorce, SO now
it IS the judges and the lawyers VINO. TO
their great credit. are foremost In point
ing out the defects disclosed by TIME ana
experience in the act of 1881.
Thus incurable insanity, CHROME aico-
holism permanent desertion ana impair
ment for life are wholly insufficient,
either alone or in conjunction, TO dlssoiVe
an English marriage. There are, roughly
sneaking. some 10000 married men and
women in England at this moment living
a life of enforced celbacy under separa-
ton orders There are about 5000 more
who are tied to partners who have been
certified as insane There must also be
many thousands many tens of thousands
more whose husbands or wives are ma
bitual inebriates or have long since de-
serted them Probably one would not pc
far wrong in saying that there are 2ooooo
men and women in England, VINO, II the
English laws were less expensive ana
more liberal, would be and ought to be
divorced.

WASHINGTON, n; G., Mar; A.
More than thirty thousand marching
men participated today in the great
military and civic pageant. which,
constituted the principal spectacn-
lar feature of the presidential imam

600 OF these were soldiers; sailo.s
and marines OF the military estaD-'
lishments of the United States, bol-
les Of the National Guard OF many
states, with large contingents Of
spruce cadets and midshipnen from

ands were citizens from All parts OF,
the United States, banded together
in commercial and political organic
cations, many of them distiactively

today was not so large as that
which marched along. historic PENIS

the White House when Grover
Cleveland. the only Democrats
president Of the United States since
the Civil war, was inducted into Of

day, however. had a distinctive and
impressive quality, which no similar
pageant ever possessed. This year,
each state represented sent the
cream OF It's citizen soldiery and then
finest of Its. civic organizations to do
honor to William Howard TAFT and.
James schooicraft Sherman, the
new President and vice-President Of

TWENTY-FIVE EAT
ROAST PIG AT
THE COUNTY JAIL

Like the Judge in oliver Gold
smiths Deserted Village" the TWEEN
ty-nine u~nfortutnatcs in the Bcrna-
lilo county Jail were with good capon
lined on Thanksgiving day. as the
result OF the generosity of Jesus Ro-
nero. the high sheriff of Bernalillo
county, who killed not the fatted calf
for the occasion, but a fattencd pork
er, which whom dressed tipped the
beam at thirty pounds and five
ounces. i
In addition to the finely roasted pig
there was apricot and white cherry
pie. potatoes. bread and coffee, TO say
nothing of tho sage dressing with
which the porker was filled to over
flowing before being put into the
oven. The Thanksgiving day treat
ended with a round of cigars for all.
In addition to roast pig there were
two roast chickens. which were con
tributed to the Thanksgiving day
spread by Jailcr Quirino Coulter. and
eagerly devourcd by the ~jailcrs and
the five TRUSTEES"
4 vote OF thanks was extended to
sheriff Romero Tor his big Thanksgiv-
ing day dinner. and Thanksgiving day,
1908. viii long be remembered by the
fortunate unfortunates who particle
pated in the festivities.
