American Robins In Enal.na.

An attempt has been made to intro.
duce the American robin into Surrey,
with apparent success. Six pairs turn.
ed loose last June near Guilford have
reared about 40 nestlings. The name
of our robin was given by the Pilgrim
Fathers to the largest and most nu-
merous Of the American thrushes
(Turdus migratorius). because Of it's
red breast. and friendly association
with man.
The American robin is closely reiat.
ed to our blackbird. and has sweet.
melodious song. It's introduction to
Surrey will be regarded by market
gardeners with much misgiving, for
though'hahis food consists chiefly bf
worms b. insects. he works sad havoc
among the cherries. Westminster Ga.

that the United States is fairly well

instance, with our 100000 people
we have as many cows as Germany
Great Britain. France. Italy, Austria
Hungary, Spain, Belgium and Holland
with their total of 264,500,000 people.
We have one COW for every 1.3 per-

one for every forty-nine.

We get nothing out of this life

brings no comfort. no satisfaction

which the church stands and the man
most worth while in the world is the
one who does most to promote these
principles. He can do it in no other
way than by actual practice.

AUTOlST IS ARRESTED.
c. S. Grove Pays Fine For Running A
Machine Without Having An Oper-
ator's Permit.

Because he was running an automo-
bile without having a registered oper-
ator's license or permit from the
State Automobile Commissioner. C.
s. Grove yesterday was forced TO
pay a fine under the new motor
vehicle law.
Mr.. Grove, who was driving the
car owned by Professor Brown. at
the Naval Academy, was arrested
by Constable Edward Thomas and
taken before Justice John B. Wells.
who found him guilty and imposed a
fine of IS and costs, amounting to SO.
Upon payment of this amount Mr.
Grove was Immediately released.
While the new auto law provides
that all motor vehicles shall be H.
cersed. this does not by any means
cover the whole of the measure, provi
sions and many persons are unac-
quainted with the fact that it is lust
as necessary for the one who is actual
ly steering the machine to have an
operators license, as it is for a Ii.
cense tag number to be displayed on
the car itself.

FIRST MAINE INSPECTION.
Board From Washington Goes Over
The Wreck-External Explosion
Proof.

A special cable from Havana to
the New York Sun says:
The joint army and navy investigat-
ing board devoted the intervals be-
tween torrential transforms Wednes-
day to an inspection of the wreck of
the Maine. They found that a number
of facts which the sampson court of
inquiry determined theoretically are
borne out by actual conditions.
Although there is sufficient expo
sure of the wreck already to draw
conclusions, the excavation of the
bottom continues in order to make
assurance doubly sure. The board ex-
poets to complete its work within
eighty days, probably in less, after
which it will return to Washington
and make a report, which will be a
definitive verdict as to the cause of
the explosion. They will doubtless
find that it was an exterior one.
Three of the Maine's pumps are
now in commission and are keeping
the cofferdam clear of mud and
water.
