ONE BIRDS LABOR OF LOVE
Naturalist Watches Thrushes Building
Their Nest, Where the Female
Did the Work.

The other day I sat for an hour
watching a pair of wood thrushes en-
gagged In building their nest near Slab
sides. | say pair, though the fe-
male really did all the work. The
male hung around and was evidently
an Interested spectator Of the proceed
ing. The mother bird was very busy
bringing and placing the material,
which consisted mainly of dry maple
leaves which the winter had made
thin and soft, and which were strewn
over the ground all about. How
pretty she looked running over the
ground, now in shade, now in sun
shine, searching for the leaves that
were just to her fancy! Sometimes
she would seize two or more and with
a quick, soft fight bear them to the
fork of little maple sapung.
Livery five or six minutes during her
absence the male would come and in
spect hel work. He would look it
over. arrange leaf or two with his
beak, and then go his way. Twice
he sat down in the nest and worked
his feet and pressed it with his
breast, as if shaping it. When the fe-
male found him there on her return
he quickly got out of her way.
But he brought no material, he did
no needful thing, he was a bird of
leisure. The female did all the
drudgery, and with what an air OF
grace and ease she did it! So soft
of wing, so trim of form, so pretty Of
pose and SO gentle in every move
ment! It was evidently no drudgery
to her, the material was handy, and
the task one of love.-Country Life in
America

MAY BE In LOS ANGELES.
Police Receive Tip as to the Possible
Whereabouts of Clairvoyant.


Prof. Mars, the missing clairvoyant
may be in Los Angeles as this morning
the police received a postal card from
a woman in Racine, signing herself
Therese Frederickson, which claimed
that she had reason to believe that
Mars had gone to the California city.
The letter indicates that the Racine
woman had met Mars during his stay in
Kenosha. She insisted that she had
given the missing man information in
regard to things size had in Los
Angeles and she expressed a fear that
the man would go to that city and at
tempt to get possession of this proper
ty. The police at once took up the mat
ter with the force at Los Angeles and
asked them to make every possible eff
fort to round up the clairvoyant Pc
lice in many other cities have been
asked to aid in the chase, but as yet
absolutely no trace has been found of
the man.

The city council at its meeting on
Monday night ordered all work stopped
on the outlet for the trunk sewer.
g This action was taken after the clti-
zens had been notified that an injunc-
ton was ready to stop the work If the
original plan was carried out. The COM
plant came from John M. Kehlor, own
err of the land on which the outlet to
the sewer is planned to be built and
in a lengthy communication to the
council Mr.. Kehlor claimed that he
would at once proceed against the city.
He held that the outlet under the plans
would prove a cess pool and menace
to his property and that of people hv-
ing in the neighborhood. G. D. Barnes,
attorney for Mr.. Kehlor, appeared be-
fore the council and declared that the
form of the outlet was not in any way
in keeping with the plans shown in the
release signed by Kehlor and that his
client would resist in the courts any
effort to finish it. This complaint
coupled with the fact that the outlet is
not regarded as satisfactory by many
of the members of the, council caused
The halt in the proceedings and a
special meeting will be held later in
the week at which Engineer Alvord, the
contractors and the members Of the
council will make an effort to get to-
gether and solve once and for all the
problem of the outlet.
The most probable solution of the
matter seems to be an abandonment of
the present plans and the adoption of
a plan for the extension of the eight
foot sewer out into the lake for a dis
lance of 800 feet. This plan was sug-
gested by q number of the members OF
the council and by engineering experts
who have made study of conditions.
The cost of change in the plans would
be in the neighborhood of $4,000, but
at that the council seems to be Of the
opinion that it would be money well
spent.

INJUNCTION AGAINST WORK

Other Council Business.

The paving of South street has been
laid over until next year and the coun-
Gil by a unanimous vote decided to ex-
tend the time for the completion of
tho work until May 81, 1912. This was
made necessary ON account of the fact
that it was impossible to get in sewer,
gas and water stubs, complete sewer
on the west end of the street and for
the railway company to make necessary
changes in the tracks. The action was
taken with the consent of the contrac-
tors.
The council had lengthy discussion
of the Ashland avenue sewer work and
the cutting off of the railway service
and with no chance for an agreement
between the contractor and the railway
company the matter was laid over IN
til this afternoon when the council met
at the scene of the trouble. The rail
way company has been asked to move
its tracks to the east pending the COM
pletion of the sewer and it is thought
that this will take away all difficulties
and make it possible for the company
to give service to people on South Ash
land avenue and at the same time not
interfere with the progress of the
sewer.
The council spent lot of time in
the discussion of plats in the town of
Pleasant Prairie 1t was found that the
conditions outside the city are far from
encouraging for getting standard city
blocks, but after an extended argument
the council passed resolutions adopting
and approving the plats of the Hahn IS
subdivision and that of Jerome Mea-
dows, the old Toner farm.
Mrs. Anna English served notice on
the city that she would claim damages
for injuries received as result of a
fall on defective sidewalk. Several
claims for damages as a result of back
ing up of waters in the sewer were
received and referred to the committee
on claims. The total amount of these
claims was about $3.50. Four saloon
men who had recently taken over sa-
looms in the city fled new bonds. The
report of the city treasurer showed a
balance in the general funds of
$43,66563
The bill of Charles Steinbach for the
building of walks and a fountain in
the new west side park, was ordered
paid. The 'cost of the walks was
$2,052 and OF the fountain $30S.
The city engineer was directed to
notify property owners on Elizabeth
street to bring all sidewalks to grade
at once and where the grades of the
walks were given by the city and the
walks are faulty the work will be done
by the city. The cost of this work is
estimated at 1898.
The council refused to give It's sane
ton to the proposed plan of the water
commissioners to put in new hydrants

Birds and Fishes and Glass-

A correspondent recently reported
what he described as the ''curioua
freak" of a blackbird flying against a
parlor window many times at the
same spot continuously. Such In Incl
dent Is not uncommon. Birds have
been known to fight FOR hours at a
time, day after day, with their own
image reflected in a pane OF glass,
pecking and futtering against the pane
and quite exhausNng themselves in
their fury to den5olish the supposed
rival. IL is another instance of how
the arts of our civilization corrupt
and confuse the birds. 1t Is the same
with fishes. Darwin tells 8 story of q
pike In an aquarium separated by
plate glass from fish which were Its
proper food. In trying to get at the
fish the pike would often dash with
such violence against the glass as TO
be completely stunned. II did this
for more than three months before 1t
learned caution. Then when the glass
was removed the pike would not at
tack those particular fish. but would
devour others freshly introduced. II
did not at all understand the situa-
ticn, but associated the punishment
It had received not with the glass, but
with a particular kind OF fish.

DEXTER SQUAD
IWERE IN TRIM
New Brunswick Appeared But
Rain Prevented Game.

Dexter supporters were greatly
disappointed yesterday afternoon
because weather conditions did not

peared In time to play, but instead
OF clearing up, as the county seat
boys thought, it rained harder and
they returned to their home town.
The postponed game will be play
ed next Sunday afternoon on the
Copper Works diamond at $3.50 p.
M. The Dexters will have a little
more practice and the interest In
the game will be greater than at
present.
Athletic clubs In T~ottenville and
Plainfield have offered Manager
John Toolan to book the Dexters for
the entire coming season. These
clubs wanted the Dexters to be their
representative team and play elevens
from other cities. These organiza-
tions also gave such offers that the
local lads would have many games
and all their expenses would be
paid. But the Dexters want to see
whether there are enough gridiron
enthusiasts In this city to support
one team. Next Sundays game will
prove this and II aNreal live crowd

pay their share to see a good tussle
are present, the Dexters will play
on the Copper Works diamond every

anxious to have a good team like
the Dexters as their home eleven.
