A few species leave the far north In

On the Pacific side the golden plover
leaves the Aleutian islands and goes

Feeding Lesson Given by an Old
Bird to It's ioung.
While fishing in a remote and wild

Gated three young peregrine falcons
sitting side by side on shelf Of rock
overhanging the lake in which he was
fishing. Presently the old bird came
into view, like dot out of the sky,
and made straight for her vociferous
young.
She poised high above the shelf on
which they were sitting and to the
surprise of the watcher dropped the
bird she was carrying. She had so
chosen her position that the bird clear
ed the rock as it fell toward the lake.
Instantly youngster No. l dashed off
the cliff. Evidently this was not its
first lesson. for it hurled itself into a
beautiful swoop and actually caught
the prey before it reached the water.
The youngSter was not allowed to
enjoy it, however, for down came the
old bird and with the utmost grace
snatched it from the young ones grasp
and ascended in rapid rings to the
height of several hundred feet. The
discounted yOungster with some diff

The old hawk repeated this maneu-

How Romans Took Their Food.

The Romans reclined at their BAN
quets on touches, all supporting them
selves on one elbow and eating with
their fingers from dishes placed in the
center OF the table. Each was sup
piled with a napkin, and knives were
used. though it does not appear that
every one was supplied with one.
Nothing 1t would seem, could be more
fatiguing than to partake Of repast
In such an awkward posture or less
conductive to neatness, 1t being almost
impossible to keep the hands clean
even with water supplied by the slaves
or to prevent the food and wine from
falling ON the clothing and the draper
les OF the couch. This manner of eat
ing disappeared during the dark ages
so far as the couch was concerned,
but the popularity Of taking food with
the fingers from a common dish con-
tinued afterward for more than 1000
years

Raises Jurisdiction Question

An interesting question OF court
jurisdiction has been raised as the
result of an effort t. secure the release
from the penitentiary Of Van Francis
Moore, full blooded Sioux Indian,
whose home is on the Cheyenne River
reservation. He is serving a term in
the Sioux Falls Penitentiary for the
alleged murder of Susan lineup, an
Indian woman.
Moore was sentenced in Stanley
county, and w. G. Porter will endeavor
to secure his release on the contention
that Moore, being an Indian, and the
alleged crime having been committed
on an Indian allotment and within the
boarders of the Cheyenne River Indian
reservation, he should have been tried
in the United States court instead of
in the state circuit court.
In order to have the thing deter
mined with as little delay as possible,
Mr.. Porter applied to Judge Jones for
a writ of habeas corpus for the release
of Moore. Owing to the Importance of
the question and in order to enable the
highest court in the state to pass upon
it, Judge Jones, pro forma, denied the
application, so the case can be carried
directly to the state supreme court for
a decision. Notice of appeal was
Immediately given.
Moore is the owner of valuable
allotment on the Cheyenne reservation.
He has been model prisoner during
