A FINE MUSICAL PROGRAM
First Monthly Musical Program
Given at the Congregational
Church Last Sunday Night.

The present pastor of the Congrega-
tionsll church has decided during his
stay IN the city 10 eive over one Sun
day evening each month to an exclus-
I've musical program to which the public
is invited, and the seats are free,
The first of these programs was rem
dered on Sunday evening last. The
large church was crowded to its full
capacity, showing that musical pro-
gram is strong drawing card in Web
ster. Those present were not disap-
pointed, for it is said by all to have
been the very best musicale ever rem
dered in Webster. Every number was
a success beyond all expectations, and
to try to give individual praise to any
one number would be an injustice to
the others.
The following orchestra rendered sell
ections:
Miss Ruby Leen. violin, leader.
Miss Lillah Leen, cornet.
Miss Alpha Peterson, piano.
l.. w. Cook, trombone.
William Rabak, cornet.
/ Edward Rickmo, flute.
George Lokken, clarinet.
The orchestra numbers were: "A
Legend of Love-" "Mascagn'i Fare
n n
"The Soldier of the Cross" was rem
dered by Edward RicKmo with orches
ira accompaniment.
The other numbers were:
Flute Solo-E. w. Rickmo.
Baritone Solo-L. w. BicknelI.
Soprano Solo Miss Emma LeDah.
Tenor Solo-H. l.. Moore. of Siou

The Cry of the Guinea.

City folk visiting country neighbors
where guinea fowl are kept have oft
en- wondered at the cry of those pre-
tentious creatures. Probably no other
member of the feathered tribes emits
a cry as exasperating to human listen.
ers as that of the guinea fowl The
average man rarely hears il without
secretly longing to throttle the throat
from which ii came.
Yet 1t has its uses. Guinea fowl are
the policemen of the poultry yard.
They serve as guards to give other
fowl warning of the approach of dan
ger, whether 1t be in the form of
thieves, dogs, hawks or crows The
cry of the guinea is said to be terrify-
ing to hawks and other predatory
birds, and IL has prevented many a
raid upon tempting focks of poultry.
But the fact remains that it is an az
front to the human ear.

Shaping the Pony.

The formation OF breeds of ponies
In different parts of the world is one
Of the most interesting things in con-
nection with horses, for, unlike the
diminutive breeds in other kinds OF
domestic creatures - as bantams.
among fowls, or the smaller varieties
among dogs-which have been bred
down below the normal size by the
skill of man, the diminution which
has resulted in any of the breeds OF
really small ponies has been wholly
the work of nature. The horse only
attained the size that we are accus-
toned to consider as normal in the
temperate Zone and II taken to very
cold or very hot country he will in
evitably deteriorate in size. He does
not deteriorate, however, in other re-
spects; indeed, the pony of whatever
type Is much more thoroughly a
horse. as regards the highest equine
qualities and characteristics, than
horses like those of the draft breeds,
which greatly exceed In size the nor
nal and original type.-Outing Mag

ARE FRIENDS OF THE FARMER
Blackbirds and Other Feathered Crea-
lures Feed on Insects That
Destroy Crops.

A number Of years ago blackbirds
were exceedingly abundant through
eastern Nebraska. They were SO plen-
tiful that the farmers believed they
were damaging crops, so they began
poisoning the birds. A single grain Of
corn soaked in strychnine was enough
to kill a blackbird. In the years that
followed, gre at numbers of these and
other birds were destroyed during tie
spring and fall At the same tine
thousands of quail, prairie chickens
and other game birds were killed in
every county to supply the market
AS the birds began to disappear,
swarms of locusts took their place.
These insects hatched out in countless
numbers and began devastating crops.
Few fields of grain escaped damage.
Many were entirely destroyed Where
blackbirds, quail, prairie chickens,
plover, and other birds remained, they
took to living entirely on locusts. In
such localities fair crops were Sc
cured solely through the assistance of
the birds.
The members Of the United States
chronological commission who wit
messed the work accomplished by the
birds in this region, said the results
were SO complete that it was impossi-
BILE to entertain any doubt as to the
value of birds as locust destroyers.-'

NATURE TEACHES THE RABBIT
Instinct Alone, Not Their Parents,

In popular mature literature" 1t Is

their young both manners and morals
that lead to the saving OF their lives
by grace of their legs. A writer, how
ever, who has had a pair of rabbits
under constant observation. having
taken them from their mother when
they were but day old. declares that

never saw their mother freeze" nor

from her what is good to eat and

DoDGING THE PRMNG PRESS
How the President and Cabinet Fool
the Newspaper Correspondents
in Washington.

When the cabinet holds a meeting
one OF the things that causes invari
able concern is. What shall we tell
the correspondents?
The president has made ii well un
derstood that the less said about
these conferences the better; but
there is always group OF newspaper
men at the door OF the White House
Offices waiting for members of the
cabinet to- appear after their session
Ii has come to be something Of q
joke with the men who help the pres
ident decide great questions of public
policy that when the usual question is
asked at the close of the cabinet
meetings the chief executive turns to
the secretary of agriculture and says
Suppose you see the. newspaper
men, Wilson; we didn't discuss any
thing in your department"
1t is a point Of honor, a sort of un
written law, that NO member of the
cabinet shall give out information
regarding affairs in other depart
ments of the government than his
own. While. therefore. the venerable
secretary of agriculture presents him
self as a target for the newspaper
mems questions, the other members
of the cabinet quietly and Inostenta
tiousfy slip away, and the world
learns that nothing of importance
was discussed" that day by the presi
dent and his cabinet-The Sunday
