CONJUGAL LOVE? SELFISHNESS?

Dubuque Telegraph-Herald:-"A
Des Moines paper hearing that Polk
county woman is trying to obtain a
divorce on the ground that her hus-
band has tuberculosis, comments:
"Oh, the unfathomability of certain
types of conjugal Lowell"
Very likely if the husband were a
victim of alcoholism there would be
no such comment, and it would be re-
marked that she did we'll to seek to
be rid g him.
The difference is all in the point Of
Observation-Disclosures is accepted to be
disease by the laity, while alcohol
ism is not.
And while everybody holds it to be
the duty of a wife who has taken a
husband "for better or for worse" to
attend him in his sickness, by no
means everybody considers this to be
her duty in the case of the drinking
man.
And yet, as everybody knows, the
unfortunate who drinks, abandoned
Of his wife with nothing to live for,
has no rudder in a wind-swept sea,
and goes on the rocks, whereas if his
wife chung to him one day her faith
and prayers and his strivings would
redeem him and the happiness which
should follow would be compensation
for the years of grief
The world lends eager ear to the
sweet story of loves unselfshness,
but too frequently in approaching So
luton of commonest problems selfish
ness stiles love and there is refusal
to make sacrifice.

NEW YORK, June 2.-Heavy sell

BIRDS EXCEL AS
WEED DESTROYERS
Some SongSteTS Depend Almost
Exclusively on Weed Seeds
Grow Kills Mice.

Weeds, as well as insects, are enc.
mics Of the farmer. Most weeds ara
short-lived and depend for their con.
tinuance on a prolific seed production.
There is a class OF birds that, in
maturity, feeds almost exclusively on
weed seeds, among which the Kros-
beaks, goldfinches, native sparrows,
quail and doves are the more i'm
portant. Probably the greediest seed
eating birds, according to Mr.. Pratt,
are the native American tree sparrow
and the chipping sparrow. Their
cousins, the English sparrows, how
ever, can by no means be included in
the list.
Rats, mice and snakes are the prey
of a numerous class Of birds, many Of
which are often hunted and branded
as great destroyors Of property. II 1t
were not for owls and hawks the
country would be overrun with ro-
dents, according to Mr.. Pratt. The
crow has his place for good as a de-
stroyer Of field mice and the farm owl
is the night Waterman who hunts
gophers, mice and snakes.
Net all hawks are useful Those
that circle around In the sky and
swoop down with stealthy movement
on their prey are great boons, but the
darter, those that take their prey or
the wing, are ruthless destroyers.
