Bob White Dives Into Straw
Stacks at Night With
Farmers Hogs.
MANY FEEDING THE BIRDS
SEVERAL LOCAL PEOPLE MAKE
A POINT TO PROVIDE FOR
THEIR FEATHERED FRIENDS
EVERY MORNING.

Reports of quail and other native
birds which spend the winter in this
vicinity. suffering from the want Of
food and from the cold weather have
been received from almost every
community in the country The deep
snow has prevented the birds forag-
ing for their accustomed foods and il
it was not for the farmers. undOubted-
ly many would have died from star
walton by this time.
Isaac Burgess, a we'll known farm
er, living south Of Centerville, has one
of the most interesting tales of the
suffering of native birds. from obser-
vations made by himself during the
past few days. He is feeding a large
number of hogs for the market. the
corn and other foods being deposited
on the ground in the hog lot. The
shelter of the animals is large straw
stack, also pens.
Take Stray Grains.
Nearly every morning and evening
as he feeds his hogs he has found
hundreds of birds perched within
close range and after he goes away a
short distance these birds, prompted
by hunger descend among the hogs
and eat occasional grains Of corn
which the hogs do not gather. Mr..
Burgess says that birds. particularly
the quails, are becoming almost as
tame as the chickens on his place and
he is taking great interest in his
wild pets.
At night. the birds will burrow in
the straw stack. Some have been no
ticed to dive in the straw, close to
where the pigs have made their bed.
and there they are kept good and
warm from the body heat of the hogs.
In this city, there are a number of
humanitarians who are feeding the
birds. Judge Luther c. Abbott, of the
justice of the peace court, is one of
the bird lovers who is providing for
their wants. Judge Abbott may be
seen every morning. sweeping Main
street in front of his office clean of
the snow and depositing crumbs of
bread and other foods. The birds
have learned to be present as the
Judge prepares their morning meal.
Hundreds assemble. SparrOwS and pig
cons for the most part. Mr.. Judah. the
feed store merchant on North Ninth
street, is another whom the birds
have learned to know as a good pro

Der %. has compromised her claim
with the railroad company and accept
ed $500 damages. The sum is re-
garded as a very small one, inasmuch
as the company compromised its case
with Mrs. Roland Webb of Anderson
the wife of the fireman on the freight
who was killed. for the sum of $500.
For some reason the matter of the
compromise has not been placed on
record in the circuit court. In Mrs
Marshall's petition for letters of ad-
ministration. she gives bond for
5000, and it is stated in the petition
that she has claim against the rail

ty of the deceased.

killed in railroad accidents. when they
pursue court action, to file claim for

true, seems to have placed this value
on human life. in cases where persons
have met sudden and violent deaths.

AN OCEAN ENIGMA.

Mystery Of the Fate Of the Crew ~
the Ship Marie Celeste.
Undoubtedly the most extraordinary
Of all the mysteries Of the sea is the
fate Of the crew Of the ship Marie
Celeste, a more fantastic creation APP
parently than novelist ever wove. She
left New York in 1857 for Europe, her
personnel being thirteen, including the
captains wife and child. Two weeks
later British bark sighted her in the
Atlantic. There was no sign Of life on
board. A boat was ser: to her, and
most exhaustive search proved her
to be as silent as the tomb, as desert
ed as pesthouse. Everything was in
its place. even the boats at the davits.
The hull was unchanged. the cargo
unt0uched. Rigging and spars were
intact; the sails were all set. The
crews weekly wash hung above the
forecastle; an awning covered the poop.
Binnacle and wheel and rudder were
complete. The sailors kits and din
ners were seen in the forecastle. In
the cabin was a sewing machine, with
q child's garment un..er the needle, and
on the table half eaten meal. The
chronometer licked undisturbed In the
chartroom; the cash box was unrifed.
The logbaek. posted to within forty
eight hours of the visit, showed the
passage to have been favorable; the
ships appearance proved there had
been no storm. Evidences Of strug-
gle or piracy or murder there were
none. Yet thirteen people had disap-
peared as if spirited away by some
supernatural agency, and from that
day to this the mystery has never been
unravcled, though the United States
government spared no effort to solve
it.-P. T. McGrath in McClure's Maya
