New Bird Arrivals.

The crested kingbird has been seen here this week. also during a drive in a nearby town it was seen on a fence post, which is a favorite perch for these birds while looking for insects. Their note is shrill and they are. all ways quarreling, especially with crows, and usually they come off victorious.

No Arhutus Found.

On a search for arbutus near Gard ner Lake Thursday parties from here found that the roads leading to Stony brook, where it used to be found, have been fenced off. Although no arbutus was found, it was interesting to note that farming in that locality is well advanced. that so many houses have been freshly painted that one could smell the paint, and wondered how 1t had been done between the showers.

THE BAD TASTE OF TO-DAY

Mr.. II. b. Marriott Watson, the

London) to relieve his pent-up
wrath:
Every age, one must suppose,
suffers from the excess of its quail
tiles: and the very wealth of ma
terial and richness of opportunity
given to our contemporary life are
replete with temptations to extra
vagance. There is more ugliness,
more futility, and more nonsense
visible today in the web of our So
cial structure than ever our faith
ers gathered in all their ignorance
and banality.
"In his heart of hearts every
man knows how ugly is the mode
of today; and | believe most women
know il also. Every artistic rule
is contravened by the abOminable
CONNECTIONS that glare at one
crude!y from the windows of fash
ionable emporiums. Styles, shape,
decency. all are meaningless words
in application TO these dresses.
Clothes, so far as woman is con-
cerned, are calculated to construct
her limbs, impede her motion, con-
zeal the beauties of her body, EN-
phasize its defect and cut her fig
ure at the wrong place, stuff her
out where she has least need OF
bullying, skimp her where she is
scantiest, and generally make a sa-
tanic endeavor to turn her into an
expensive scarecrow. The fash
ion plates of today.-The Literary

HAVE. RETURNED FROM IRELAND

Mr.. and Mrs Thomas Law. who
went TO Belfast, Ireland early in the
spring, have just come back to Aud
ubon and are so thoroughly delighted
with their American citizenship that
if the whole of Ireland were offered
them to renounce it. they would in
dignantly refuse.
AS il is. however, Mr.. Law said he
did for the land of his nativity, what
he could, by settling their trouble
but he states further. that his time
was too short to settle the presen.
controversies between the warning
nations of Europe, so he set sail for
America from Liverpool Saturday
Sept. IL. They were on board the
Lusitania, the largest ship travelling
the seas and belonging to the Cunard
line, four and one half days. They
encountered one of the worst storms
the seamen could recollect which last
ed two days Their ship was so rods
long and So feet wide with 1000 pas
sengers on board Mr.. Law said he
was one of the few who was not sea
sick, and though uneasy during the
raging storm, was pleased with the
ocean voyage.
When they caught sight of the good
old u. S. every heart on that great
ship swelled with joy. The remain
ing time on board was as interesting
scene as any true American citizen
would care to witness.
The war in Europe is having its
effect on Ireland as well as all the
other countries. Yet. Mr.. Law says
Americans are given every considera-
ton possible and he had but little
trouble in securing necessary funds
to travel with comfort.
NJ, and Mrs. Law reached New
York last Thursday and at once made
arrangements to get back to Audi
bon and old friends with the great
est speed. They arrived home Mon
day and are again enjoying their de-
lightful surroundings in Melville
township.

HOUSE ROBBED LAST NIGHT

The home of Feeder Schmidt in
west Audubon was entered by burg
lars last night who took with them
a brass candle stick. small floor rug,
silver watch that belonged to his
father and which he priced very
highly and other articles of more or
less value. They have no clue to the
robbers. The polio have the necess-
airy information and a strict search
is being made to apprehend. II pos
sible, the guilty parties.
LATER:-During the early part
of the morning II was discovered
that the party who entered the house
was Anna Hansen, a girl 16 years of
age who disappeared Sunday eve
ming. Sheriff Sunberg found her
this morning in small grove back
of the Schmidt home. The missing
articles were recovered and the girl
was turned over to Mrs. SAINT Ander-
son for safe keeping. 1t Is more than
likely that the girl will be taken
before the insane commissioners.

MIGHT HAVE BEEN SERIOUS

A. III. Dollahide. contractor and
builder while at work on the new
residence being built for Fred Plaehn
fell from the scaffold yesterday morn
ing landing on his head and should
ers on the ground 2 feet below. He
was rendered unconscious and re-
manned in that condition several
hours. He was carried to his home
nearby and a physician summoned,
who discovered that he had received
a severe scalp wound and sustained
injuries to his back. This morning
he is resting much easier and from
all indications no permanent injuries
will result. He is indeed fortunate
for he might have broken his neck.
Mr. Dollahide is getting along in
years and having been ill much OF
the time the past few years, has
robbed him of>much of his agility and
he finds that he cannot get along
as easily as he could several years
ago. All hope for his speedy recov-
cry and that he will soon be able to
get back to the work he loves so we'll.
