When the King bird arrives in the
early spring with his bride from the
south. he guards her most jealously,
and fights most pugnaciously all 9TH
ers of his kind who come near.
Noted for his fighting nature. the
King bird is entitled to his royal name.
and is also called the tyrant Fly Catch
er and from his epicurean love of in
sects. he is known again as the Bee
Martin, although far removed from the
Martin family. being really one of the
Fly Catchers.
He possesses no noble qualities, as
without provocation he often allows
his angry passions" to rise. and
makes bold and aggressive attacks on
the crow, and often chases away
from his field the less offensive small
birds. Very like the Indians of the
western plains. the King bird never
likes to meet foe in open warfare.

Many more wells and other dress

year manufacturers of fabrics in

colors and methods of strong weav-
ing. for nearly all articles of apparel.
All fabrics appeal more surely and
permanently to the buying public II
this item of standing the wash is
among their virtues. For cleanliness
is an essential Of elegance Women
have taken to heart the axiom that
to be elegant things must first be

will last lifetime They sell from
fifty cents up to two dollars apiece;
as an average. The more elaborate
the border. the more expensive the
veil; therefore there are patterns
that cost more than two dollars.
Even at higher price this veil Is
not bad investment since It may be
used as a fischu. or for trimming a
bodice or as fiounce. Two wells of
this kind made beautiful decora-
tion for dressy waist.
A newer weave is shown in the

The straight back is a godsend to
one who is a little round shouldered.
The collar stands away from the
back of the neck and the curve from
the neck to shoulder blades is very
slight. There is no curve from that

But the straight-back is not for
everyone and there are plenty of 9TH

new designs may be said to hang on

birds and the squirrels their secrets They were
playmates that never made sport of his mental
shortcomings He loved them and they loved
him. The streams beyond the little stream which
farther on in its course becomes the Chicago
river were the haunts OF bobolinks 1t was
there that the Italian bird catchers hired by the
big city dealers were in the habit of setting their
traps to catch rollicking Robert of Lincoln that
he might be cooped up in by cage to pine

did not include bird and beast

smashed twelve traps and then shot into the

this turn for his bobolink friends
Wise Billys father and mother sent him to
school. The teachers did not want to receive
him, but he was quiet and he showed shortly
that impression could be made upon his dsor-
