BIRDS THE FIRST TO sTAun
The Only Lower Creation of N.. That Hab'tualIy Does So, Ac.

And let us note that the art ., standing began with birds. Froa, sit, and as far as I know every ro01 tile, be it lizard, crocodile, alHgato, or tortoise, lays it's body on tbs ground when not actually carrvina it. And these have each fonr f,s legs. Contrast the Aamingo. wbiob having only two, and those like vii low wands, tucks up one of them and sleeps poised high on the other like a tulip on is stem
 Note also that one toe has bee. altogether discarded by birds q, superduous. The germ, or bud. must be there, for the Dorking fowl ba, produced fifth toe under some in. auence of the poultry yard, but no natural bird has more than four

So hen closes its toes at every step it takes, as if it grasped something and of course when it settles down on it's roost they grasp that tight and hold it fast till morning.
 But to birds that do not perch this mechanism is only an encum. branee, so many of them, like the ployers, abolish the hind toe entire. ly, and the prince of all two legged runners, the ostrich, has got rid of one of the front toes also, retaining only two.-Strand Magazine.

TAP LINE RATES STAND
Order Suspending Withdrawal Ex- cepts St. Louis Line Whose
 Status Is Pending.

Washington, Dec. 30.-Owners of tap lines" were given temporary re- lief from the recent cancellation of through rates with connecting rail- roads when the Interstate Commerce Commission suspended the order un- til April 15, 1911. Notice was sent to the St. Louis X San Francisco, the St. Louis Southwestern and 115 other railroads. The suspension order will mean a saving of several hundred thousand dollars to tap line owners.
 The commission made an exception of the Manufacturers Railroad of St. Louis, and suspended all through rates from points on that line until May 1. 1911. The reason assigned is that the question of whether it is really a tap line or a common carrier is now pending for decision.

BANKER ROBIN VAN|sHES
DISAPPEARS AFTER BEING DUST
 ED FROM SANlTARlUM.
High Financier Missing, But Prose cutor Says He'll Find Him
 If Necessary.

New York, Dec. 30.-Denied asy- lum at the private sanitarium to which he was committed as a para noiac, Joseph c. Robin, whose opera lions closed the Bank of Northern New York, appeared for a moment in Jersey City and then vanished with his sister, Dr. Louise Robnovitch in an automobile. No warrant is out for his arrest.
 At the sanitarium the following statement was made:
 "In view of the fact that criminal Mir Robin and owing to statements that have been made, Dr. Mcdonald requested Mir Robins sister 10 re- move MT. Robin from the sanitarium. This was done"
 Dr. Max G. Schlapp. one of the thre physicians on whose certificate Justi,e Amend committed Robin, called at the district attorneys office to make clear his connection with the case and that of his associates, Dr Austin Flint and pr. Valentine Wildman.
 "We were called into the case" said Dr. Schlapp by Dr. Louise Ro- bmovitch. She gave Us a history of the case and, coming from a feputa- ble physician, there was nothing for us to do but accept her data as the facts. The history she gave LIS in dicated paranoia. We put questions to Robin and his answers confirmed the diagnosis indicated by the history of the case"
 When District Attorney Whitman was informed that Robin had left the sanitarium and disappeared he showed no anxiety If Robin should be indicted, he said, the offense with which he would be charged is extra ditable.

REPORT MUCH VOTE BUY|NG
FARMER SAID TO HAVE SOLD
 FRANCHISE THREE TIMES.
Ohio Election Indictments Total 993 and Are Expected to
 Reach 1,500.

West Union, O., Dec. 30.-Two new features have developed in the ses- sion of the special grand jury investi- gating wholesale buying of votes in Adams county One is that of a woman selling her sons vote and the other concerns a voter who was bought in three ways.
 The woman is Q widow who lives in Peebles. She is accused of having accepted g. for her sons franchise. Both mother and son were indicted, but neither has been arrested
 A farmer in Jacksonville precinct surprised the jury by his confession that he was bought three times last election day For his promise to vote the straight Republican ticket he said he received $1250; on contract to vote the straight Democratic ticket he obtained $10, and the price for agreeing to vote for a certain Demo cratic candidate was $3.
 He pleaded guilty when arraigned and was disfranchised for five years, fined $5 and costs and sentenced to six months in the workhouse, with the prison sentence suspended.
 One hundred and six indictments were returned, which brings the total up to 99S. There are indications that the number will reach 1,500, as pre- dicted by Special Prosecutor B. Steph- enSOn

OFFICIAL OF NEW COUNTY CON- PANY BRAVES BULLETS TO
 SAVE FRANCHISE.
TRUCE FOR DISCUSSION
Company Offers Restoration of Five Cent Fare for Thirty Days Until Agreement Gan
 Be Reached.

Chicago, Dec. 30.--The first shots in the struggle between the County Traction company and 100000 citi- zens of nine suburbs fighting the double fare to Chicago bla2ed from police revolvers in Forest Park, when a traction supervisor and two aids tried to run an empty car along the lines to hold the franchise.
 Meanwhile the Chicago Railways of ficials offered a restoration of five cent fares between Chicago and the suburbs for 30 days until a working agreement can be established. This was indorsed by Chicago officials and discussed by suburban officials. Al derman Milton J. Foreman and oth- CTS suggested the towns solve the problem by being annexed to Chi caGo.
 William Lemke, supervisor for the County company. was the man who braved police revolyers in Forest Park
 While the police shift at West Twelfth street and South Fortysixth avenue was being changed, Lemke with two motormen grabbed a car that had been stopped by the viii lage authorities, and, without turning on the lights, started it off toward the car barns, five miles away.
 Going at speed of 30 miles an hour, the car tore through Forest Park, | at ..nnnH while police along the line shouted for them to halt.
 Police Use ReVolVers.
 In desperation the police fired, and at last, possibly through fear, the men | stopped the car at Harlem and West Madison streets and were immediate 1 ly arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and operating a street car without lights The car was then taken to the car barns, where it was locked up.
 War without quarter has been de- clared between the County Traction company and the citizens of the nine villages.
 No cars are being operated in Lyons or Berwyn, and the service in Forest Park, which ordinarily has r cars, has been cut to two.
 In the other villages, with the eX- ception of Evanston, no attempts are being made to operate. In all but 12 cars were in operation against the former average of 40. 1b, tnurpe rIoi,r, if pp oorG ro t.,1p on a line for 24 hours the franchises become invalid.

 Evanston residents tore up 90 feet of track at Howard avenue, the di- viding line between Chicago and Ev- anston, overwhelmed their city off, cials with protests. and as a result the city council will discuss the trac- tion problem Tuesday.
 Forest Park police stood guard on the tracks and refused to permit the cars of the new county traction com pany to pass through the village. Angry citizens tore up a portion of the track to make the ban more em- phatic In Clyde.
