Lowell was an "ironical humourist"
and this was probably the key to his
charm. In his Fables for Critics,
which DIR. Vincent called "a rhymed
primer of American literature" the
speaker stated that Lowell predicted
invariably the place his contemporar-
les would have in the literature of the
country, one of the most difficult
phases of critical Judgment.
Among other interesting facts told
OF Lowell was that he was the first
editor of the Atlantic Monthly and es-

magazine and was also a co-editor of
the Review OF Reviews. He disliked
teaching which he referred to as a
"treadmill." .--

VILLAGE NOW WARS
ON MILLION BIRDS
Hoyleton, ILL.,, Residents In
dulge in Conflict with
Black Pests.

HoYLETON. Ill, Aug. s0.-The res
idents of Heyleton last night began
the first hostilities in war in the
support of the inalienable right to
sleep. .s.....
1t was a one-sided conflict, however.
in spite of the fact that the army of
oppression numbered 1000, 900. The
Hoyletoaites got much the better of
the contest, and literally pyramids of
the enemy were slain.
Village Much Disturbed.
For a week past the siumbers of
this quiet village have been broken
each night by an invasion of black
birds as has never before been seen
in this section of the state This is
the season of the annual migration of
the birds from the northern wilds
where they have spent the summer to
the southern swamps and bayous,
where they winter. They seem to have
found Hoyleton a most convenient
stopping point. Each night swarms
of them have settled on the trees of
the village and have kept up such a
SoAeiituSo SidttSi thdl slSep Has Deeu
impossible for the weary inhabitants.
The pest was endured as long as
possible and finally the citizens organ
lied a defense committee. A council
OF war was held, with the result that
every man and boy in the village was
drafted into an army of extermina-
ton.
The birds are not seen in the village
in the daytime, but as soon as night
begins to gather they swarm from all
directions. loading down every avail
able tree.
War Wased in Earnest.
In pursuance of the plan mapped
out by the committee of defense, the
citizens gathered armed with every
sort of weapon that threw a projectile
from the boy with his slung-shot to
the old man with his old-fashioned
"musket' shotgun.
The slaughter began as soon as the
birds flew into the village and contin.
ued until the stock OF ammunition was
much depleted. After thousands of
the invaders had been made to bite
the dust, the defenders retired for the
highland were kept awake as usual
by the birds, whose talkativeness
seemed to have been merely stimulat.
ed by the unusual happenings of the
evening.

Moines. is an almost perfect child.
according to the four women physi-
clans who Tuesday gave their decision
in the baby heath contest conducted

ed in the to year olds.
Master O'Toole should have a per-
feet score If it were possible for any
human being to be perfect, say the
judges. They were unable to find a
flaw in his body, but, acting on the
theory that no child could be entirely
perfect gave him only score of 961e.
The second prize in this class went
to Mary Lena Mcdonald, aged 80
months, daughter of George Melon
aid, of Des Moines, who had a score
of 65ia points.
Other Des Moines Children.
In the one TO two-year-old class.
Wilma Cass, aged % months, daugh-
ter of w. NJ. Cass, of Des Moines. won
first prize with a score of 96 points.
The second prize went to John Roland.
Jr., aged 90 months, of Des Moines,
with a score of 50 points.
In judging the babies, the physi-
clans considered height, weight, cir
conference of abdomen and chest,
symmetry. quality of skin. fat. and
muscles and bones. The head and the
features, also were considered, as
We're the disposition, energy and facial
and ocular expression of the child.
The judges were Doctors Florence
Sherbourne of Colfax, Margaret Clark,
of Waterloo and Lena Means and So
phia Hinzie Scot of Des Moines.
Special Program Of Veterans.
A special program for the entertain
ment of the veterans of the Mexican
and civil wars was carried out today
