One morning the dead bodies Of hun.

Of the Statute Of Liberty in New York

the birds are easily drawn by a beacon
light penetrating the mist. A contin-
uous red light. or a flashing intermit-
tent light of any color, strange as it
may seem, does not attract them, but
a steady white light Is irresistible.
Mans bsacons are not the only
source OF destruction. In a storm at
night on Lake Huron fiocks Of October
migrants were caught by q snowstorm
and forced into the waves. One oh.
server found 5000 dead birds to the
mile strewn along the eastern shore,
and this included only a part Of those

There IL no appreciable change in tenn
p%erature. to warn the hundred or mora
species Of u birds which visit South
America In winter that it is time to
migrate. It must be a force from
within that makes them spread their
wings for the long flight.
Almost without exception, the be-
ginnings of fall migration have no re-
lation whatever to the weather. Most
species migrate as soon as the young
are able to car for themselves; others
begin moulting then and start on their
southwark trip when their new fall
suits are ready. Many species begin to
go south In July. and most of the 9TH
ers early in August. long before the
supply, and, indeed. at the time when
food is most plentiful.
After the tide Of fall migration is in
full swing it's advance is varied by al
ternating storms and air weather, as
in spring, but with exactly opposite eff
fects; instead of delaying migration a
fall storm causes the departing hosts
to hasten their movements before the
chilling northern blasts. In spring the
larger part of migration occurs with
a rising Temperatures; in fall a still
larger percentage occurs when the
temperature is falling.
The birds migrate with the wind
against them about as frequently as
with the wind In their favor.

The path to matrimony seems
to be beset with as many perils
as the path of matrimony after
the ceremony. While an intend
ing pair were on their way to
the minister's in a town in Wash
ington, the bride-to-be discover
ed a hole in her stocking and left
the groom waiting at the church
while she went home to repair
the damage. She changed her
mind and never came back.
Another sad case is reported
from Lexington, KY. The cere-
mony had proceeded to the point
where the officiating justice
should have said: Il now pro-
nounce you man and wife," He
stopped to clear his throat so
that he could speak them impress
slvely, and at that moment a
deputy clerk rushed in and forbid
the bans because the groom was
only 10 years old. Few people,
however, are rescued so oppor-
timely.

present quarters OF the bank are
very much crowded and it will
be necessary very soon to enlarge
them to accommodate the ever
increasing BUSINESS. It is no I'M
common sight any day in the
week to see customers standing
in line waiting their turn in front
Of all the windows.
The Ouachita National Bank
by its very high standing and
liberal and courteous treatment
Of it's customers for the past
twenty-four years has gained the
full confidence and loyal support
Of this business community, and
as a result the deposits have
steadily grown from year to year.
It numbers among its individual
depositors several accounts of
parties living in the capitals of
Europe and the far away Philli-
pine Islands and the Territory of
Alaska.
During the panic of 1907 when
the largest and strongest banks
all over the United States were
compelled to limit payments to
their depositors in order to keep
their doors open, the Ouachita
National Bank refused to follow
their lead and advice and boldly
proclaimed that no limit would be
placed on any depositor who had
money On deposit. The wisdom
Of this policy was soon demon
strated, for at once it inspired
such renewed confidence that in
stead Of there being any DISPOSE
ton shown by it's depositors to
withdraw their money, the very
reverse Immediately took place
and deposits began at once to
flow to the bank from other COM
munities who were limiting, and
the cash holding showed an in
crease from day to day instead of
a decrease. The Ouachita Ma
tional Bank not only had an
abundance of cash at all times
for it's customers, but went to
the rescue of quite a number of
other banks who could not get
any cash from their large city
correspondents.
The Ouachita National Bank
endeavors to treat all of it's Gus
toners both large and small with
the same liberality and courtesy,
and lends all of it's money in this
community for the furthering of
any legitimate business or enter
prise that is worthy of support.
The management extends a
cordial invitation to every one
who has any banking Of any de-
scription to open an account with
the Ouachita National Bank.

BOSTON TEAM
IN THE HANDS
OF NEW MEN

BOSTON, Dec. 20.-The Boston Ma
tional League baseball club passed Of
ficially into new hands yesterday, and
during the coming season James e.
kaffney, Of New York, and John NJ,
Ward, the famous pitcher of the New
York team twenty years ago. win direct
its affairs. They hope to take the
team out of last place. the position 1t
has occupied for several years.
The reorganization was effected
through the purchase by Gaffney and
Ward of the stock of the late Will
lam Hepburn Russell. Mr.. Ward was
elected president of the club and Dir.
Gaffney treasurer. Todd Russell, son
of the late president. and Fred ].
Murphy, of this city. were included
among the directors.
President Ward said after the meet
ing that an effort would be made at
once to secure larger grounds, but that
there would be few changes in the club,
as he believed hat it had good ma
terial.
Fred Tenney will be retained as man
ager for the present, as he has a 1912
contract for 5000, and it would be ex-
pensive to drop him.
