been thinking about marrying again
He wrote to his friends in America and
asked rich and beautiful women who
would like TO marry a farmer of so
were plentiful In the new country.
Along came a reply from one of his
old friends. He said he knew an es-
tfrnable woman OF Holland, Mich, who
was already much interested In Dirk.
The letter contained a photograph OF
a handsome, dark woman with glowing
eyes.
Dirk Immediately set out for Amer

Adrian de Jonge.
Adrian looked suspdciously at the

STRAWBERRIES
BEING RUINED
BY PARTR|OGES
QUAIL 90 PLENTIFUL AROUND
MULAT THAT FARMERS CON-
PLAIN or GREAT DAMAGE TO
THE BERRIES.
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.

SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.
1 Mulat, pril LIT Is learned that in
the strawberry patches on some farms
near here, the partridges are playing
havoc with the berries. The manner in
which they attack the fruit is what
causes so much destruction. If the
partridge ate the whole berry before
commencing upon another, there could
not be so much damage done; but as
the bird makes only one or two pecks
at a berry and then tackles another,
1t can materially injure a strawberry
crop.
There is a Florida statute that pro-
tects the partridge. but what law pro-
tects the strawberry? BY the way,
these birds are not quail, but part
ridges. It is proper to state right
here. that there are no quail in this
country. unless indeed they have been
imported. This calling partridges quail.
is only another popular facacy, which
persists in calling hares, rabbits; and
bulibats whipporwills. The bird,
whose shrin lament is heard during
spring just after twilight In every
rural locality, In bulIbat, not
whipporwill.
The whipporwill Is a much larger
bird than the bullbat, is Of a deep
brown color, and completely blind in
the daytime. 1t cries out in the ST.
lence Of the night, the weird note:
AsWhipporwiH," about four times in
rapid succession, and q minute elapses
Before the bird repeats his cry.
Whereas, the bulTbat cries out:
Chuck willis widow" only once, and
repeats the note, after a very short
interval. In the note, Chuck, willis
widow the bat places much en-
phasis on the syllable. Chuck"
The Journal representative does
not assert that there are no whippor-
Wills m the southern country, be-
cause he has seen a few in the dark
jungles on Brosnaham's island, labori-
ousiy tapping In their short flight,
butting against limbs anc shrubs, be-
fore swooping to the earth: but he
has never heard in this section the
whipporwiu cry. Others may have
heard it. but they have never heard the
whipporwiIl cry Chuck Wills widow.
The 1ullbat is known TO the nat
urafist as Goat sucker"
This may seem OF small importance,
but 1t is safe to say that ninety out
OF every hundred people in this coun-
try are ignorant Of what is here writ
ten about this matter. The public
will therefore not quarrel about receiv-
ing a little information given gratis
although It may be about so small
matter as the identity OF birds.

 But if Lind fails and the embargo on arms is removed so the rival fac. tons can settle supremacy, this gov. ernment wants the Americans ont of the country. So the consular repre- sentatives have been directed to per- suade all who have not material in. terests holding them to leave. Many already have started and others will move soon. The greatest fleet of war. ships on the east and west coasts are to aid in this work. It will be well nigh completed before Lind can tell what measure of success is to. greet his efforts.
 The only word received from Lind was that everything was proceeding satisfactorily. His visit to the min ister of foreign relations was a purely formal one. But with the ice broken Lind is expected to get down to work immediately He will interview the leading MeXicans, to whom he car ried letters of introduction, and will utilize them as much as possible in bringing the government over to his way of thinking. As his instructions are elastic, he will not have to report to Washington until there is progress one way or another.

 So far the moves on the diplomatic chessboard in Mexico City have all been with Lind. He reached the city without being molested. He conferred with the minister of foreign affairs as a plain American citizen, although warned he would not be received un- less officially accredited. But so far his every act has been informal.

 Now he Is at the critical point in his mission. He must initiate a plan of mediation, if that is one of the meth ods planned to restore peace. It is be- lieved almost certain that if he takes this step he will be sternly rebuffed.
 Lind may find some other way out. That is the real hope of the president and Secretary Bryan. They think the Minnesota politician will be able to show Huerta how he can make impor- tant concessions to his enemies and still save his own face.
