Chicago, to look for migrating birds which had dropped down into the pleasure ground from their night flight in order to rest and feed had just entered the park when my attention attracted to a large bird perched on the limb of a maple tree and facing the sun, which just rising out of Lake Michigan. My heart gave sort of leap. for recognized it instantly the passenger pigeon, bird of which l had not seen living specimen for at least twelve years
 Then instantly l began to doubt and thought that my eyes must be mistaken and that the at mosphere was magnifying the bird and that what was before me really mourning dove. I drew closer and then I knew there was no pos sibility of deception. Before me was beautiful specimen of the male passenger pigeon with the sun striking full on the furnished feathers of his throat l stood within 15 yards of the bird for fully half an hour and then it left the maple and went in arrowy flight down the lake shore drive toward the heart of the city. l have often wondered since what its fate.
 Theodore Roosevelt is deeply interested in the outcome of the search for surviving mem bers if such there may be, of the passenger pigeon tribe. MT. Roosevelt knew the bird when he boy and in his trips afeld he always has kept a watchful eye open for possible sight of specimen of the species now feared to be extinct
 When MT. Roosevelt was president of the United States he occasionally went to wild spot in Virginia where he owned cabin. He called the place Pine Knot While there day he saw what he believed to be nine wild pigeons It would be perfectly proper today for man who saw as many pigeons this together to shoot one of them-one only-n order to prove beyond peradventure that the tribe still has istence When simply reports the appear ance of a pigeon or of flock of pigeons every one doubts very naturally the truth of the tale holding that the mourning dove has been again mistaken for it's cousin bird.
 President Roosevelt did not have a gun with him on the occasion of his meeting with what he thought were wild pigeons. If he had he probably would have shot of them. He told no one except few scientists and few friends of his discovery. He knew well as anyone else did that in the absence of the proof fur nished by bird in the flesh it would be said at once Shat he made the common No knows positively today whether the nine birds which the president were or were not pas senger pigeons. Every time that Mir. Roosevelt has been to Pine Knot since he has hoped for another sight of the birds which made him glad years ago.
 John Burroughs heard from his friend Theo- dore Roosevelt, thai the nine pigeons had been in Virginia. Burroughs believed the story because he knew how accurate an observer of nature his friend the president was and is The stories of the pigeons in Virginia led MT Bur roughs 10 make inquiries at in the counties in New York state west of the lower Hudson lying in the old line of flight of the migrating pigeon armies of years ago.

A FOOD STORY Makes a Woman of 7o"One in 10000

The widow of one of Ohios most distinguished newspaper editors and famous leader in politics in his day, says she is 70 years old and a "stron- ger woman than you will find in ten thousand" and she credits her fine physical condition to the use of Grape Nuts:
 Many years ago I had a terrible fall which permanently injured my stomach. For years I lived on a preparation of corn starch and milk, but it grew so repugnant to me that l had to give it up. Then I tried, one after another, dozen different kinds of cereals, but the process or diges- tion gave me great pain.
 ''It was not until l began to use Grape-Nuts food three years ago that I found relief. It has proved, with the dear Lords blessing, a great boon to me. It brought me health and vigor such as I never expected to again en- joy, and in gratitude I never fail to sound is praises" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich

When boy presents an idea that Is feasible, pat him on the back and encourage him, and he will develop a love for agriculture and become the pride of your heart in your declining years and will love the homes and the farms that you have worked so hard to pay for.
 If farming has not paid in your case by all means give the boy a chance to begin without your handicap What was good enough for me is good enough for the boy" is maxim unworthy of a New England farmer.

The citizens Of Bryan are naturally \
much elated over the showing made
by the test well, inasmuch as it in
sures to the city an ample supply of
water when two more wells shall have
been sunk in the tested territory. This
settles the argument against sewer
system, and the is now no reason why
work on it should not be started. The
plans have been perfected, there are
sufficient funds on hand to carry the
work we'll along and the people want
to see It taken up at as early date
as possible to insure its use before
the hot season is here again.
The board OF directors will meet at
the city hall tonight at 1880 O'Clock,
and it is urged that every member be
present. as the committee on annual
meeting is ready to report and the
! final arrangements for the banquet
will be made. Another matter of vital
| Importance in the future WORK OF the
club will be considered and settled;
that IS the reorganization of the
Brazos County Boys Corn Club, which,
lit is evident, will have to be pushed
by the club this year. AS the agricul-
tural development of Brazos county is
essential to the prosperity of its peo-
pie, so is the development of the boys
! corn club essential to the develop
ment of agriculture. In the past one
man has shouldered the labor Now it
is up to all of the people to assume
the responsibility.
Now that the commercial college is
fact, let every citizen give it a
boost II you have any lingering
doubt as to the superior system of the
course taught by Prof. Perry call upon
him and he will soon convince you
that Bryan has as good business
