Under this head the AMERICAN will from
time to time print short articles relating to
birds, and especially their relation to agricni-
tural interests. Most Of these articles viii be
reprinted from leaflets issued by the bureau OF
biological survey. department Of agriculture,
or by the National Association OF Audubon
societies, and will be authoritative. They
will be of interest not only to bird lovers, but
of educational value to farmers, TO whom the
protection Of many species of birds is of the
greatest Importance.

Sunday was a day Of ideal beauty

of worship.

Methodist Churches were occupied

BAPTIST. Mr.. Smith, a student OF the
Louisville Seminary, preached at the
morning and evening hours of wor-
ship. In the evening, at the Pres

ASKED TO Be PUT IN JAIL.
IIIthb On PLAYING YHk TYPO
CRIT
Afraid of Shadows and Unwilling to
Face the World. He Gives
Up the Struggle

While on duty on Wednesday
night of last week, Policeman Fret
well was approached by a stranger
white man, who asked to be put
in Jail, giving as his reason that he
was a deserter from the U. 5. army
had been for more than a year and
wanted 10 be returned to duty or
stand trial Convinced that the ma
was telling the truth he was lock-
ed in Jail, and the following day
the officer carried him to Fortress
Monroe. the nearest army post and
delivered him to the commander. As
he deserted from a western post he
was not recognized at the Fort. but
he was locked in the guard house
until his identity could be estab-
lished Under army regulations the
officer returning the deserter is en-
titled TO the usual reward of fifty
dollars, and we presume there will
be no difficulty as to this as soon as
the man is identified as a deserter.
Since his desertion he had been
working at a saw mill in the county
OF Amelia and stated that he had
been afraid to leave and face the
world The story that he went home
to see a sick mother moved upon US
when we heard it.but we have been
wondering since why it is that a
soldier i'm times of peace can't al
ways obtain permission % go home
to see the sick So long as the ma
tions of earth will not beat their
swords into plow shares and their
spears into pruning hooks - there
must be- standing armies and regu-
lar soldiers and OF course laws TO
be obeyed. and yet We have great
sympathy for the fellow mortal
whose home is i'm camp and whose
duty is to respond to roll call.

PIcs for Training School Play
Ground.

Editor Herald: II would like to
have room in your paper for WORD
or two with the patrons OF the
Training School. A play ground is
very important need for the chill
dren. At present there is no play
ground for them. Some grades play
i'm the street. That means IT IS hard
to tell where they play, and when
the beli rings they do not hear IT,
or they are 80 far away they do not
get in before the doors are closed.
Then they are marked tardy and
have to stay in.
Some times the children come
home and say that one of the su-
peryisors was angry because some
of the children walked across a Ger
tain piece OF grass. Nearly every
dav they have displeased some one
because they played in the wrong
place. This. Of course, is very an
moving e. the tired mothers At
home. who are trying to teach their
childrcl To behave properly and sta
in the 'sht place.
While DR.. Jarman is asking for
appropriations from the State for
more buildings, and better equip
ment for the Normal School why
can not we. the parents that furnish
the material for the training OF the
young Normal teachers, put in pc
tition for a proper play ground for
our children, and not have them
turned out into the street. Would
like to know what other parents
think about this matter.

JAPAN'S CHERRY BLOSSOMS.

enjoyment the keener and more

Light radiates from 1t. There is

masses of flowers more compact
than any green foliage that grows.
Wind and rain make havoc with bud

its burst of beauty is over. nothing
more is expected of IT, Its whole
strength is well and wisely spent in
Towering. and it rests in peace un-
