The Secretary Bird.

The long legged South African sec
retary birds travel in pairs, male and
female. If disturbed or pursued their
pace is about as fast as that Of run
ming horse. They seldom use their
wings and if compelled to do so can
soar to considerable height. They
build bulky nests, and where trees are
to be had they select one fifty to a
hundred feet above the ground. Their
nests are built Of sticks and sods, lined
with grass, and measure as much as
five feet in diameter and three feet in
thickness. AS a rule only two eggs are
laid. Incubation takes six weeks,
which is done by the female. The
young have to remain in their nests
several months before they can stand
on their long, slender legs, which are
very weak and brittle. The young
easily break their legs if disturbed

FIFTY YEAR OLDS
NOT DOWN OR OUT
Applicants for Places
Through The Times Col
umns Confident and Able.

Fifty years old, and out of work.
Is the time for optimism, not the time
when man will acknowledge defeat.
This is the astonishing fact brought
out by the offer of The Washington
Times to publish free of charge In its
classified advertising columns situa-
ton wanted cards from every person
answering that description.
Tomorrow, the cards will be published,
each person being limited to fifty words
description of himself or herself, and
statement as to the kind of a position
desired.
Fifty words for man fifty years old
and out of work might be expected to
bear pathetic story, a hard luck tale,
an acknowledgements of discouragement
and defeat. The shadows rather than
the bright hopes were naturally ex-
pected from those fifty words. Uncon-
sciously, many a man might tell his life
story of failure in that little space. Yet
not a one has the tone of failure or de-
feat.
Fifty years of age. but can get
there"
AN interview will convince"
Still active and industrious"
Strong and healthy, about sixty
years old and weigh $50 pounds
That Is the tone the man fifty years
old and out of work uses in facing the
situation. Hope, confidence, willing
ness to work, self assurance.
A feature of the offer to publish these
advertisements has been the display of
interest in the subject by employers.
Many positions call for just the kind of
service that the applicants under this
offer can furnish and there Is good rea-
son to believe that many positions will
be obtained from these advertisements.
Under this offer of The Times, no
more advertisements will be received as
the time for filing them expired this
morning.
All will be published together tomor-
row, in a prominent position. so as to
attract special attention and give these
lusty hopefuls every chance to get
back into the harness of steady en-
ployment.

TO CHURCH SERVICE
President Hears Sermon on
Unconscious Religion in
Humanity.

President Taft attended services at All
Souls Church, Fourteenth and L streets,
this morning. He was not accompanied
by any other member of the Taft family.
The Rev. Ulysses G. B. Pierce deliver
ed sermon on the theme that much
OF the religion in humanity is subcon-
scious.
Men and women who have not sworn
by the Great Name, who have not
afhltated themselves with the church,
and rarely pray, can be relied upon in
great crises of the world to tell the
truth, do the right thing, and help make
the world better" said DR.. Pierce.

.AzCONA WILL HAVE
: HEARING THIS WEEK
Representative Wilson Then
Will Move to Protect Mex
lean Political Exiles.

That surprises are in store for those
agents Of Diaz who seek the extradition
of Juan Sanchez-Azcopa, the Mexican
political refugee. who has been held in
the District Jail for fifty days on re-
quest of the Mexican government, Is the
statement made today by the attorneys
of the young man who sought the free
dom of the United States.
That the trial Of ACCOM-, on the tech
nical charge of false pretenses," will
be followed by an introduction of a
resolution In Congress demanding an
investigation of the manner I'm which
Mexico harnesses refugees to this coun-
try, Is another statement made by Rep
resentative William B. Wilson of Penn
hearing of the formal charges In the
District courts.
Azcona will have a trial before Justice
Clabaugh, of the District Supreme
Court, next Tuesday. or Wednesday. His
attorneys, Hopkins and Hopkins. said
today they were ready to proceed, and
they will produce evidence to show the
existence Of conspiracy against the
Mexican editor and anti-Diaz publ list.
II understand that Azcona, after fifty
days confinement, will soon face the
charges prepared by his government.
said Mr.. Wilson. II have withheld my
resolution demanding Congressional
irquiry until / can have the benefit OF
the facts produced at that trial. After
that l shall be ready to proceed
II Is learned there Is now In possession
of Representative Wilson and the at
torneys for AZcona documentary evil
dence which will show that the charges
brought by the Mexican government are
OF defective nature, that they In
reality clothe design to eXtradite
Azcona and to punish him because of
his political beliefs, and that the papers
of the DiaZ government, which have
been sent to Washington, bear out the
prediction that the accusation against
the refugee is based upon an event
nearly FIVE years ago, which never was
taken cogniZance of until AZcona came
to the United States.
In other words, the defenders and
friends of Azcona propose to show that
he Is not wanted for false pretenses,
but for the Mexican crime of sedition,
which is not recognized in this country,
and for which Azcona cannot be extra
dited under existing treaties.
