WAS MISTAKEN
IN IDENTITY
Minot Man Called to Illinois has
a Very Unusual Experience

Minot, N. d., May 15.-T. f,
Renwald of this city, who was
called to LaSalle, Nl., last week
by a telegram stating that Aais
brother was seriously ill, ran
up againet a peculiar case of
mistaken identity.
Mr.. Renwald's brother wae
away from home, and his moth.
er had received wire stating
that he was in the hospital in
a precarious condition. When
Mr.. Renwald arrived in LaSalle
he discovered that his Brother
had not been sick at all. It
seems that another young man
had become suddenly stricken
in the town where Mr.. Ren.
wald's brother was visiting, and
being unable to speak when he
was taken to the hospital. the
physicians had searched his
clothing and the only means of
identity they found was a card
bearing Mr.. Renwald's name.
Believing this was the young
mans name they wired to Mrs.
Renwald, who in turn immedi-
ately wired to her son, T. F., in
Minot. Mr.. Renwald lost no
time in boarding a train and
notwithstanding the fact that
the Renwald family in Illinois
tried to reach and tell him that
all was we'll and that it was a
case of mistaken identity, he
arrived in LaSalle. He was
both surprised and elated to
find the family in the best of
health and spent several enjoy.
able days visiting with them.

Washington, May 13.-The

it would seriously injure 600,

"You may reduce the selling
price of our wheat ten cents q

difference will be swallowed up

former Lieut.. Gov. Lewis and
John r. Msuff of the American

made protest against the bill.
During the hearing Senator

Because of the rapid exter.
mination of birds the U. S. De.
pa:tment of Agriculture has
provided two Bird Reservations
in North Dakota, one in Nelson
county and one IN Stutsman

ton during the breeding sea-

geese, brant, cormorants, gulls,
as we'll as many of the prairie
birds already named.
The water birds come into
the marshy places in our coun-
ty in August and September to
feed on worms, frogs, small
mammals. minnows, beetles,
bugs, worms, and the weeds
common to ewampy lands, aud

named because the margins of
the beak are furnished with
plates, tooth like projections,
along it's sides, that act as
strainers to let out mud and
water taken with the food from
the ponds.
Because of their almost We.
getable diet the canvas-back
and the mallard ducks are the
best eating, the green winged
and the blue winged teal rank
ing next in favor. The pin tail
and the wood duck are also
much liked. Nature shows
great wisdom in protecting the
birds. Birds that live upon the
ground are mottled in dull
colors, so that they cannot be
readily distinguished from the
background of their homes. We
find the plover. kildeer, meadow

protection is afforded the eggs.
Eggs laid in nests on the
ground or in low shrubbery
have markings like the places

This part of the subject and
the marvellous bird instinct

Some of our birds are enemies
of the useful species. These
are sharp Skinned hawks,

crows, blackbirds, the great

sparrow. All hawks and owls
are not in this class, but instead
are very useful in that they rid

Observation does not bear
out this statement for all birds
any more than for all humans.
Many estimates are made to
reduce bird value to the dollars

no financial value at all, the

there is another inestimable

were it not for the birds. By
examining the stomachs oi
birds the kind and quantity OF
food they consume, has been

too much blame on the birds

ed that they ate sixty-eight
earth worms daily, that is,
each bird ate one per cent more
than it's own weight in twelve
hours! The length of these
worms if laid end to end would
be about fourteen feet. Men,
at this rate, would eat about
seventy pounds of. flesh a day,
and drink five or six gallons of
water"
The prairie chicken an d
grouse, which have been so
ruthlessly destroyed, have
proven themselves untiring
grasshopper destroyers, the
coveys of from eight to fourteen
or sixteen young, being fed al.
most entirely on grasshoppers
or their larvae. Unfortunately
the prairie chicken lacks the
hardy aggressive spirit of the
English Sparrow. and rapidly
disappears before modern farm
machinery, prairie fires and
mans gun. One of the best
known insectivorous birds is
the meadow lark, whose clear,
sweet song may be heard from
your door step almost any day.
More than half of it's food con-
sists of insects, the other being
very largely seeds of noxious
weeds. Other birds that feed
on insects and weeds with
grasses as variety, are the night
hawk. flicker, quail, commonly
called "bob white" bobolink,
warblers, flycatchers, wrens,
catbirds, thrushes, cuckoos,
cedar birds, sparrows, canaries
or gold tinches, and many 9TH
ers, all of which summer in

The insects eaten include
flies. spiders, grasshoppers,
beetles, crickets, mosquitoes,
moths, caterpillars, and their
larvae, while the weed seeds
include those of thistle, mul.
lein, wild rice, oxalis. plantain,
wild grasses and others.
The following is quoted from
the Grand Forks Herald: "From
the study of the tree sparrow
made some years ago in Iowa,
Professor Beal estimates that
the quantity of seed destroyed
by these birds in the state in q
single season amounted to S75|
tons.
In examining stomachs of
doves he found>one containing
{, 800 seeds of the wood sorrel(
and another 9,22O miscellane.

Recent political news from Ohio
gives one an edifying glimpse of the
mass of cheerful and impenetrable
stupidity which exists in the world.
No doubt those Russians who march
ed up to be shot at by the Little Fa-
theirs Cossacks in defense of thei1
right to present a petition to the
throne, or those Firms who sacrlflc-
ed blood and liberty in support of
their constitution, would be consid-
erabiy disconnected at learning that
hundreds of theoretically respectable
Ohioans, possessing far greater po-
litical privileges, gayly bartered
them away for few dollars in cur
rent coin. Probably the same Ohlan7
~ a,.Aa have fought a czar who took
| away their right to vote. They were
too dull to understand that some
| body had fought for that right in the
past and somebody would have to
| fight again in the future to regain 1t
| if its keeping now were exclusively
in hands as little guided by intelli-
gence as their own.
There is a good deal of vote-sell-
we believe, among the native born
as among the foreign born. Never
having known anything but free in
stitutions. they fail to understand
that such institutions are not the
free irrevocable gift of nature, but
a result of much human sacrifice.
| They would amend Lineoln's Gettys-
| burg address to read THAT we here

not have died in vain that this ua-
ton. under God, shall have a new
