Feed the Birds.

II the lovers of quail and partridges
wish to have them survive the Winter,
and especially the present snow storm. it
is absolutely necessary that they should
be fed until such time as the ground will
be cleared Of snow sufficiently for them
to gather their own feed.
Il has been suggested that the best way
to feed these birds Is to locate their ropsE-
ing place and clear good sized piece of
ground of snow near the same and spread
the feed; also clear another space along
the stream of water nearest the roossing
place and there spread more feed. The
birds will be attracted to the cleared places
if wheat straw Is spread literally about
each place where feed is left.
The Cecil County Game Protective AS
snciation win pay for all feed put out for
the birds upon satisfactory proof that the
same has been done.

WOMAN BARELY
ESCAPES DEATH
FROM BANDITS
Moroccan Adventures of New
York Matron Are as Thrilling
as Any Fiction,
Special Gable to The American.

PARIS, Jan. 17.--Mrs. Hope Allen
Sommer. of New York, who recently
had remarkable adventure in Mo-
rocco. narrowly escaping death ct
the hands OF Berber robbers. is now
the object of great interest in Paris
on account of the brilliant success
she has made in the establishment of
beautiful cinematograp house
known as lie Theater ColiseeP N
the exclusive Champs Elysees quar-
ter, near the Arc de Triomphe.
Mrs. Sommer's experience in Mo-
rocco is one OF the most exciting ever
narrated outside the pages of fiction.
She went to Tangier in the company
OF Mexican and his wife and APP
peared at a moment when tribesmen
from the interior were infesting with
unusuaul audacity the roads leading
out OF Tangier, but Mrs Sommer
conceived the idea OF visiting the
curious old town of Tetuan. All the
persuasions of her fellow travellers
could not induce her to abandon the
plan.
With her only compa Mons an Arab
courier and an old Algerian soldier
she started one morning. following a
desolate route, along which she soon
encountered some bookings ma :
tives, armed to the teeth walking in
the direction of Tangier. 1t Was re-
marked that nearly all these men
turned back and followed the tour
ists
This continued for mile after mile.
until the omnibus cortege numbered
about threescore Mrs. Sommer and
ner escort, becoming alarmed, pressed
forward with all the speed their
mules were capable OF to reach Che
place which had been described 10
them as suitable for halt overnignr.
When they arrived they found only
an abandoned fort. The armed ma e
tives who had been following crowd
ed around Mrs Sommer with the ev =
ldent purpose of making her prisoner.
BY fortunate accident the ioIting
or the journey had displaced her bag
of jewelry. which was hidden under
her clothing, and the robbers could
not find il,
Il expected they would kill me"
said Mrs. Sommer. but the courier
and Algerian soldier held a heate /
argument with them. and suddenly
Selling the bride of my mule hurried
me forward. so at last after two
hours of terror we left them behind. "
