The new car was delivered to Mr..

beauty and the CORY of the Christ.
The majority Of the lilies were pure

because they are cultivated more ex.

Easter. There was one gorgeous
specimen Of the lily. This was q very
rare specimen In New York. Il was

Texas Feast Of Hummins Birds
Tongues Called a Grand Bluff.
Chefs of the restaurants along
Broadway we're stirred when they
were told of dispatch from Texas
about the dish of humming birds
tongues to be served at banquet in
San Antonio. They fumed and they
sputtered as they thumbed the well
worn pages Of cook books handed
down by generations Of white aproned
ancestors. To be beaten by prairie
cooks from the Rio Grande was
enough to ruffle the calmest temper
at the range.
Its re one grand fakaire!" shouted
a fat little man amid the rattle and
clatter Of pots and pans. drumming
birds tongues. Bah! ley are like
the toothpick in 70 pie. To make one
bite. 50o!"
Five hundred dollars?" he was
asked.
"Humming' birds. 500, to catch them,
yes? Take ze week. ze month to get

Another chef, with moustachios, eye
brows an dhands elevated, exclaimed:
Impossible. The feasts of the Ro-
man emperors have humming bird
tongue, maybe. Texas do It? No. II
New Orleans, perhaps. But a dish
like this from the land Of the frying
pan. No, no, no! A hundred times

taking for a walk her dog, which she
held by leather strap, the other day,
when man who had been following
Ter suddenly cut ths strap, with a
knife. and picking up, the animal
dashed of.
Eye witnesses Of the scene pursued
the thief. whom they had almost over
taken when he threw the dog under
the wheels of passing autobus in
the Rue Rochech0uart. The animal
was instantly killed, and while Mile.
Meyer, who had tainted from emotion
at seeing her pets fate, was treated
at a local pharmacy the thief was CAP
tured and roughly handled by the
crowd. He was handed over to the

tity.

Another Insomnia Cure.

AHotHer insomnia Cure.
For sleeplessness fill hot water
bottle and place it under the ankles;
1t works better there than at the soles
OF the feet. Put a rather small
amount of very cold water in another
rubber bottle and lay it on the head.
The cold water is more comfortable
than ice, which seems exciting rather
than soothing.
At first. says a woman who has tried
this cure, l would get to sleep in
about an hour and wake again as the
water heated. The cold water would
have to be changed four or five times
during the night; then once changing
was enough, and now if the brain be-
gins to spin after lie down for sleep
put On the cold water bottle and am
asleep soon for the whole night.

THE DEER QUESTION
The Animals are Becoming Plentiful five
 New England.

New England.
 Rigidly enforced protective legislatioEs Il Vermont, Massachusetts and Connect cut has enabled deer, which were fast becoming extinct, to multiply until they Ire now more numerous in Central New England than they were at the time of the Revolutionary war.
 The continuous stretch of more or less sparsely inhabited territory, with it's abundant supply of small fruits aud gar den truck, so tempting to the deer, has be- come for practical purposes an immense deer preserve. A decade ago the sum- mer visitor in New England rarely taught a glimpse of wild deer. Five, years later the deer had become mora numerous, but were still an object of curiosity. In the last two seasons sC- numerous have the deer become that. they have done much damage to gardens md orchards.
 The deer have become bolder with in creased numbers and the presence of one of the animals in the streets of the larger" towns and even the cities is frequently reported. Hunters have estimated that there are in Central New England up-- ward of 10000 deer, The fact that B. 100 deer have been killed in a single week in each year in the last two openr easons in Vermont is evidence of the. treat numbers of them.
 The deer question promises to be the, subject of lively debate in the legislm--. lures of Vermont. Massachusetts nnd Connecticut. On the one hand the friends of the animals plead for a con- Jinuance of the present protective laws ,n- the ground that the damage done by leer is over.estimated, and that the deeK- harmless.
 Opposed to this argument is the cuu- -ention of farmers that they should be, allowed to kill for their own use deer 'ound on their own land. In Vermont the open season tends to keep downathaa number of the animals, and in Massacfs- lsetts under recently enacted law. the farmer may kill deer which commit de predations upon his land. In Connscti-- ut killing of deer to protect ones pro )erty is allowable, provided it is donao with shotgun.
 The prevalence of deer has given risS- a crop of animal stories. From North ield, Mass, recently there came Q story f hens attacking a deer. Last week. sunday buck deer gave battle to twop logs ill Westfeld. and according to wit lesses the dogs came out a very poox- second. Not very long ago pure white | CT was killed in Hadley, Mass.
 Ernest L. Merriam, of Ware, reportedl that while driving to West Warren a leer attempted to jump into his wagon A Belchertown farmer driving to Wanss his week found his progress barred by A buck deer. The farmer pelted thss 1eer with apples and now seeks to re- cover the value of the apples from thss county commissioners under the deer damages compensation act.

BUNKER BEFORE THE COURT
Fined $5 For Not Sending Three
 Children to School.

Fined S5 For Not Sending Three
 Children to School.
 Edward Hunker, one of CanAan'as residents who is very unfortunate az parently, Tn having large family, WAS before the court on Friday of last week .. on the charge of not sending three chil- dren to school since last June. Accord ing to records, his children have not attended school since last June, which is contrary to the laws of the state, and a short time ago state official was in town looking up children who had not been attending school regularly. When the complaint was read Hunker plendt dz guilty and he was fined BIO. This fine is now pending upon him and it is quite likely that unless he sends his children to school as the law requires he will be- locked up and the children sent to the state reformatory. On the first count of not sending his thirteen-year- old daughter, Emma, to school he was fneds S5 and the costs of s6.40. After the Ane- was imposed the justice, George Ford adjourned court in this case for three months during which tune Mir. Hunker must send his children to school. This $ a serious charge and Hunker may consider that be got out of the deal very. luckily.

Reports From all Parts ot the Country
 Show Satisfactory Conditions,
 As has been repeatedly stated the rail roads of the country are the pulse of trade. This is demonstrated in a report sent out by J. s. Bache 6 Co.,, the New
 York bankers, which shows that there IS no change in the trend of business de- velopments, which latter continue to be highly satisfactory, as is always the case when the railroads begin to spend money, quickening industry in all directions. These expenditures at this time are large and the prospect is for something enor- nous, and with this in view, we can look for little else than firm continu- ance of the satisfactory industrial condi- tions- If anything is done to retard the offerings of capital to the railroads, these expenditures must be cut off, and this would be calamity for the whole coun- try. The railroads eventually will bene- fit through the extra outlays, but the in- dustrial concerns must first feel the 6cO0 NhCNOos hC 1a11lO1bo CllCl1lSCINOSt however, are making good showings, the returns last week indicating an in- crease ill gross results for the first week in November for every road that has thus far reported. Our exports are now exhibiting encouraging increase, the fig ures for October recording the highest total in money values of domestic pro- ducts sent abroad since the previous high record was established in December, 1907, when the panic influenced unpre- cedented shipments. The exports for this October, show an increase of twenty two millions over last years same month, and i'll these figures cotton plays an inn portant part and makes clear how a short crop may not be calamity, by of the high money value placed upon that which is actually harvested. In October, last year, 1,222, 900 bales were sent out, valued at $58. .000, 900. In October, this year. 1,28S,0 900 bales were exported, with value of $8S, 900, GOO.
