Do Birds Return to Old Nests?

Whether birds, especially migratory
ones, return to the same nests year
after year is a question of much in.
terest to the naturalist. Swallows that
summer in England do not winter
north of Africa, but an observer at
High Halden, Kent, England, has re.
corded that one returned on April IL
to a nest it occupied last year. 1t
was recognized by q ring that had
been placed on its leg. To gain a
better knowledge Of bird habits, more
than 1000 British birds were last year
marked with inscribed aluminium
rings. and twice as many more will
be similarly tagged this year.

HIS ELOQUENCE WAS USELESS
ColoreI Morgan's Futile Attempt to
Persuade Cleveland to Grant Par
don to a Murderer.

Col. Franklin Pierce Morgan Of
Washington and New York never
made but one great speech. and the
story of 1t is pathetic. His audience
was Grover Cleveland, then president
of the United States, and his purpose
was to secure a pardon for a murderer
named O'Neil, in whom the colonel
had become interested. "Ill never for
get that day." said the colonel in tell,
ing about the incident. 81 had told
Dan Lamont the day before that I
intended to ask Cleveland to pardon
O'Neil, who vas a creature Of the
dark places at times. but a pretty
good fellow at that. Cleveland had

late to save Marion! His brain reeled
with the thought. Too late-too late
too late. He painted the words. They
came with every gasp for breath. Too
late! Too late. His heart pumped
like an engine as he strained to keep
up his speed. He passed a man and
a boy hurrying with their rifles to
st. James and made no answer to
their shout; a galloping horse forged
ahead Of him and he tried to keep up
with 1t: and then, at the top of the
long hill that sloped down to the
stronghold OF the Mormon kingdom
something seemed to sweep his legs
from under him, and he fell painting
on the ground. For a few moments
he lay there looking down upon the
city. The great bell at the temple
was now silent. He saw huge fires
burning for a mile along the coast,
hundreds of lights were twinkling in
the harbor, there came up to him
softly, subdued by distance, the sound

more slowly and cautiously down the
slope a new hope flashed upon him.
Was it possible that the discovery of
the approach of the mainlanders had
served to save Marion? In the eX
element that followed the calling Of
the Mormons to arms and the prep
arations for the defense would Strang,
the master of the kingdom, the bull.
wark of his people, waste priceless
time In carrying out the purpose for
which he had sem for Marion? Hardly
did hope burn anew in his breast
when there came another thought to
quench it. Why had the king sent
for Marion on this particular night
and at this late hour? Why, unless at
the approach of his enemies he had
feared that he might lose his beauti
full victim, and in his overmasterine
passion had called her to him ever
as his people assembled in defense Of
his kingdom.

Sheriff Frank MilWee and
 the Speakership.

As was predicted in the ARGUS some weeks ago, it looks like the Speakership of the next House of Representatives was going to come to Monroe county.
 Sheriff R. F. Milwee, whose nomination for Representative is practically an election, is being spoken of over the state in con- nection with the Speakership and it's pretty safe to say that Sheriff Milwee will not pass up such an honor when it is gener- ally conceded that if he wants it, he can get it.
 His success in politics in every thing he has undertaken from the county offices of honor to that of electing a Governor has been phenomenal, and therefore the Speakership for Sheriff Milwee looks like sure thing.

BONDSMEN MEET AND ACT.
Shortage of County Treasurer, Wallace Graham To Be Made Good By
 His B0ndsmen. Meeting Held in Clarendon Wednesday.

of his farming interests and his interest in two stores at Black ton and Raymond besides large number of head of stock and cattle.
 In the meantime the bonds men selected Deputy Treasurer G. w. Sherrill, of Clarendon, t o serve as custodian of the county funds, pending the investigation by an expert accountant of Treasurer Graham's accounts and books to determine the amount of the shortage.
 The shortage developed thro' a check of Treasurer Graham on The Bank of Brinkley of this city, being turned down, which disclosed the lack of funds and in consequence the shortage.
 MT. Graham is serving his second term as Treasurer and be- cause of his pleasing manner, his kind and accommodating ways, is one of the most popular offic- ials of the county. He has many friends over the county who in- sist that the investigation will not reveal near so great a short age as is currently reported.
 Among those who qualified for the largest amounts on Treasurer Graham's bond were: C. F.. Greenle, of Brinkley, $25, 900. %; J. s. Thomas, w. L. Jeffries and P. c. Evan, of Clarendon, each for $20, 900. %: J. P. Lee, of Clar- endon, $10, ,OO0.O0.
 Amonfi ctner bondsmen in Brinkley were: Dr. F. T. Mur- phy, J. D. Rodgers, Jas. A. Saine, H. c. Strong, Gus Roesch- CT, Henry Wolf.
The Brinkley argus., 1910-04-15

The rumors which have been going the rounds relative to the alleged shortage of County Treasurer Wallace Graham of this county, eliminated this week in a meeting of his bondsmen at Clarendon on Wednesday after noon.
 The bond is a S132. 900. % one, and on it are many of the promi- nent business men of the county. There is no way of arriving at the definite amount of the short age because of Treasurer Ora hams failure to keep his books posted up. On Wednesday, as the bondsmen were looking into the matter, warrants which Treasurer Graham had paid amounting to 5000 and had for gotten to charge, were found stuck away in pigeon hole, thus accounting for a thousand dol lars of the shortage right then and there. It is thought that a careful investigation will reveal many such acts of carelessness which will explain away and clear up much of the shortage which is variously estimated at from S8, 1000 to S20, co.
 At the meeting of the bonds men in Clarendon Wednesday Parker c. Evan was chosen as trustee fer the bonds1nen and will look after the securities which MT. Graham offered to turn over to them to assist in clearing away the shortage. It is understood that the property whic oh will pass into the hands of Trustee P. c. Evan will be all
