Noted American Sculptor Passes Away
at Home in New York.

NEW YORK, May 2.-John Quincy
Adams Ward, the noted American
sculptor, died Sunday at his city home,
296 Manhattan avenue. Mr.. Ward would
have been 80 years old { June 20, and
although an affection of the kidneys was
given today as the immediate cause of
death, it was explained that old age was
perhaps a better explanation. The
sculptor had been in failing health since
last February, and when death came he
was expecting it, fully re igned.
Mr. Ward is survived by his widow
Mrs. Rachel Ostrander Smith Ward
whom he married in 1909. He was child

painter. was in Chicago at the time of
the sculptor's death. The funeral will be

the most famous of American scultpors.
He was born at Urbana, o., June 20,
1880. and at very early age indicated

FISH HAWKS DEVOTION.
Mate Was Killed by LiGhtning's
Flash and M0urned Two Years.

Mate Was Killed by Lightning's
Flash and Mourned Two Years.
From the nature of the case it is
difficult for us to follow the history of
the individual bird year after year,
but among hawks, eagles, wild geese
and some other large birds there are
authenticated instances of union for
life and even of constancy after death.
It is recorded, for example, of a pair
of fish-hawks that the female was
killed by a stroke of lightning as she
sat upon her eggs. The nest was de-
molished, says Frank NJ. Chapman in
Golfers, but the male took his post
in a nearby tree and was seen there
day after day during the following sum
mer, until in September, with others
of his species, he left for the south.
The following spring, apparently, the
same bird resumed it's faithful but
fruitless vigil until, as before, he
Joined the ranks of his kind on their
annual retreat to winter quarters, but
the third year he did not return.
Whether he had gone to join his lost
partner in the happy fishing grounds
of his race, or whether his term of
mourning had expired, are questions
to which an ornithologist with due
regard for facts dare not answer.
Now, compare with this really pathet-
ic devotion the action of the English
sparrow under a similar affection A
pair of these irrepressible feathered
pests took possession of bird box near
the home of a gentleman who. as a
beginning to the destruction of both of
them. killed one. Before the second
bird could be shot it disappeared and
shortly returned with a new mate.
Again one of the two was made away
with, but, as before, the remaining
bird escaped and soon reappeared with
another partner. This actually hap
pened over thirty times, but in no in
stance were both birds killed and in
variably the survivor. without loss Of
time. secured another mate.
The fishhawk and English sparrow
may we'll, therefore, represent the ex-
tremes of consistency among monoga-
nous birds and at the same time show
how wide a range Of habit is covered
by monogamy.

DUKE STILL HAS HOPE,
De Abruzzi Sends Two Pomeranian
Dogs to Miss Elkins-Present
Kept a Secret.

NEW YORK, May 3.-That the Duke
of the Abruzzi is persisting in his at
tentions to Miss Katherine Elkins is be-
lieved by the officials in the custom
house, because Of the arrival last week
of two Pomeranian dogs, which were
delivered to that young woman in person
by the commander of an Italian steam
ship on its arrival. The utmost secrecy
has been placed around the matter and
it would not have been known by the
public had not the news Of the arrival of
the costly pets become known at the

AGED PEDESTRIAN FINISHES
OCEAN TO OCEAN JAUNT Is
DAYS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE.
AN OBJECT LESSON TO YOUTH.
Journey Was Made as Lesson to Show
Beneficial Results Attained
Through Walking.
FEELS LIKE A CHILD AT FINISH.

NEW YORK, May 2.-Edward Pay
son Weston's record breaking walk
across the continent is virtually at an
end At 8:35 o'clock this morning he
set foot on Manhattan island, crossing
Kings bridge, over the Spuyten Duyvil
creek. Cheered by the thousands of per-
sons and followed by a constantly in
creasing crowd, he walked straight down
Broadway.
When the advance guard of automo-
biles appeared at the bridge a shout went
up. A few minutes later Weston ap-
peared, trudging along at a brisk rate.
On the last part of the walk Weston
was escorted by Co. B of the Seventh
regiment, of which he has been a mem
Der for fifty years.
Weston interrupted his progress at
Broadway and Seventy-tnird street,
which he reached just before II o'clock,
stopping at hotel for lunch and a rest.
He finished his walk down Broadway in
the afternoon.
Bluecoats Clear Way.
An escort of police had been provided
by the Yonkers authorities, and as Yves
ton swung down the road at 1920 o'clock,
headed for the New York city line, the
bluecoats opened the way for him. Be
nlnd came hundreds afOOt and long
line of automobiles footing their horns.
The feat which Weston brings to a
happy conclusion is unique in the annals
of sport. The original programme called
for the covering of the distance from
the Pacific to the Atlantic approx
mately 34SO miles - in ninety walking
days. In the face of rains and storms.
in defiance of heat and cold. undeterred
by numerous accidents, and, in the last
stages of the journey, trudging along in
spite of a sprained ankle, the heroic old
man has made it in seventy-seven days.
Glorious as is this accomplishment
from the point Of view of sport pure and
simple, it assumes the character of great
ness when it is considered, first that
WestC& is II years old, and second, that
no tempting monetary prize was held out
as reward for his feat.
Object Lesson to Youth.
The transcontinental walk was made
by the aged philosopher and athlete as
an object lesson to the youth Of America
of the beneficial results to be attained
through walking.
Already last year Weston had attempt
ed to cross the continent on foot. He
had on that occasion fixed a limit of 100
days for the trip, but severe storms en-
countered in the last few days of the
journey made it impossible to complete
the self-appointed task on time. The
energetic old man did not give up though
beaten, however, and continued the jour-
ney to the end, accomplishing the ocean
to-ocean walk in 1O5 days.

Shirrings of net over colored satin rat
tail appear on many of the new lace and

attractively, and the work is necessarily
done by hand, so that by no mistake in
the sewing the shirring will refuse to
pull. This is but one of many ways of

THE POULTRY INDUSTRY.

1t is a fact not generally known that
Of all farm products poultry stands
fifth in value. 1t is estimated that
the cash derived from the sale Of poul-
try and eggs amounts to half billion
dollars annually. 1t is believed that
this amount is being rapidly increased
each year, due to the fact that farmers
are beginning to realize the profits
there are in we'll cared for flock of

appreciate how easy it is to increase
the productiveness of their fowls, ii
is fair to assume that this branch of

first place in relative value. The fol-

West Brookfield, VT, indicates the way
In which some are increasing their

Association.
~ HERE are two general types Of
swine-bacon and fat. The
principal fat hog breeds are
Poland China, Duroc- Jersey
Berkshire and Chester White. These
breeds are especially adapted to the
corn belt. Here corn is the principal
feed. and the fat hog fits in naturally.
The principal bacon breeds are Tam
worth and Yorkshire. The Hampshire
Is intermediate between the two types.
The bacon hogs are better suited to
those localities where corn is not grown
to any extent. Skimmilk, peas and
pasture are among the principal crops
used in raising bacon hogs.
Whichever type is selected. an en-
deavor should be made to get the best
possible individuals of that type. Not
only that. but if you wish to succeed
in the hog business you must pick out
q certain breed and stick to it. The
general practice of buying a boar Of a
different breed every year or so is
bound to result in a lot of mongrelS.

often results in combining the good

central house is almost Indispensable
for the fattening hogs, fol, the breed
ing stock in winter and for the sows
that farrow early.
A cement floor made according to di-
rections given in article will be most
satisfactory for the central house. 1t
must be kept well bedded, as the bare
floor is hard. damp and cold. Some
breeders use false floor of boards on
the sleeping pens. The pen partitions
should be removable so that several
pens can be thrown together for fat
tening hogs. There should be enough
windows to supply plenty of light. If
| the building faces the south the roof
should be of half monitor shape to fur
nish light to the north pens. This is
not necessary If the building runs
north and south, since there will then
be an equal amount of light on each
side. The best style of movable house
is the A shape. built in 4 by run
ners. A floor is an advantage in wet
weather.
