Birds Have Their Troubles.


From the Indianapolis News.
If limited observations counts for
anything. it would seem that this
spring season is unusually productive
Of tragedies in the bird world.
Among the wrens and robins par
ticularly disaster has been frequent.
Nor have other birds of the same
height orly friendliness for man and
his abode escaped the strange
fatality. But the fault, seemingly,
has been with the birds themselves.
They have built neither wisely nor
we'll. selected unfavorable sites to be-
gin with. and adding TO this careless
ness some poor building operations.
Of course. the bird is a. better judge
of a nest than we are, and the bird
doubtless knows more about the
business of building a nest than we
do. Still, little as we know, we take
the liberty of advising Mr.. and Mrs.
Robin that persistence misdirected is
lar from being a virtue. And we are
inclined u the opinion that instinct
might suggest, If other warnings fail,
that three successive attempts to

three successiVe-and complete

| ing industry is suddenly suspended
| and eggs are inconsiderately laid in
the grass by the front door stoop.
This is an unfair shifting of parental
responsibility, and places far too

human shoulders.
Birds of less neighborly disposition
seem to have escaped the general era
of disaster, and, with this fact in
mind, we are led to wonder whether
some of the more friendly feathered
residents have not had little too
much mollycoddling in the past

LOOKING FOR FUSION IN SOUTH JERSEY.

Down in South Jersey efforts being made to
amalgamate the Bull Moose and Elephant for the
coming State campaign. The trouble is in the plat
form. If national issues be set aside and a
State platform compromise be effected there might
be some concert of action.
The movement has its origin in Cape May In
1912 the county gave Roosevelt 1847, Taft 909 and
Wilson 2,124 If the Republicans and Progressives
had been united they would have carried the county
by 632 Those figures impress the South Jersey poll
ticians In State contests at least they say, why not
unite on fusion candidates when division probably
means defeat?

Round Tatber's Grip

When Fathers come from some long trip
We chicks all kneel around his grip
And try to keep our faces straight
And not look tickled while wait
Till he has Rugged our mother tight
And kissed her twice with all his might.
We're glad to see him, too, but then
First thing when he's got home again
From some great long and busy trip
We want to see what's in his grip
Then Father kneels among us there
And digs key-ring from somewhere
And looks as if he had forgot
To bring us things-we know he's not
We gather close while he unocks
The grip. Then each one gets box
Or parcel tied up with string
Or some such gfty-looking thing
That's zacty right. We squeal oh, Dad!
The incest things we've ever had
It's not just what we get, you see,
That makes US glad. For it might be
If Father came home without
The gifts for us we'd give shout
And hug him hard. But oh, it's great
That when he's in some other State
Way off from home he thinks of us,
From ten-year Blanche to one-year Gus,
So when he's come home from his trip
We kneel and giggle round his grip

Water Power.

Few would expect to find any con-
nection between modern hydro
electric plant and prayer. The con-
nection is indeed remote. but not UNI
discoverable. The first application
of water power to mechanical pur-
poses was made by Buddhist rieses
when they employed the energy Vt
running streams to the work of turn
ing prayer machines. That, then,
may be said to constitute the origin
of the application of water power to
perform mans la.bors, the fore
shadowing of the great industrial de-
velopment now in progress for the
Harvesting of the worlds waterfalls,

Among our precious mistakes. none
is more cherished or more foolish than
our pet economies. They are more
eXtravagant than our extravagances
because they are not so pleasant, and
they are more wearisome than our
hobbies because they are wearisome
to us instead of to our friends. These
pet, and petty, economies affect each
one of as differently. and. like the
measles, seem to attack us in our
weakest spot.
There was, for example the man
who had a special fondness for but

victim Of the economy germ. ne felt
that the only way IN which he could
economize was by going without but

without butter, thus saving a cent
each day and very often compensat-
ing himself by buying an extra piece
of pie. And then one day a reckless
mood came upon him-reckless moods
often accompany economiZing. He
felt that he must be free and deter
mined that he would buy a pat of
butter with his lunch. Joyfully he
bought the butter and bravely he paid
for it. The tragic part of it was that
he was 50 accustomed to eating with
out butter that he forgot all about il
and left it on the table, from which
it was gleefully stolen by another

CAT AND MOUSE
ACT IS A MENACE
Declare They Have Been Quiet
Planning Record Breaking
Fight for Ballot.
Special Gable to The American.

LONDON, Feb. 21.-NeXt to the
home rule question the most absorb
ing problem faced by the present ses-
sion of Parliament concerns the atti-
tude of the militant suffragettes.
Supporters of the Government de-
clare that recent inactivity of the
suffragettes indicates that the Cat
and Mouse" act has accomplished far
more than its most sanguine defend
ers ever hoped and that there is lit
tie to fear this year.
"Mice Recoupine."
On the other hand the militants de-
clare that the prevailing quiet has
only been a lull before the storm and
that their apparent submission to the
hated act was deliberately planned to
give the mice" an opportunity to re-
coup their forces for campaign
which will make all their former bat
ties with the Government seem COM
paratively insignificant.
l Threats which the militants have
made are carried out, however, the
year will outrank any other for trou-
blesome times. The effort to reach
the King at buckingham Palace, an
nounced as part of the program pro-
posed at the first meeting of the Wo-
mans Social and Political Union this
year. is only one of the ways in
which the women intend to keep their
cause before the public.
Treasury Overlooking.
The militants claim that their treas
ury is overlooking and that the ranks.
depleted for a time by illness and
prison bars, are again full of fighters
ready for long campaign.
Never since the Women's Social
and Political Union occupied its big
building on Kingsway has the place
been so quiet as during the past few
months, but it is said that much OF
the work of preparation for this year
campaign has been going on at the
homes, of members or other places, SO
that Scotland Yard viii have some
difficulty in repeating its famous raid
upon the women's headquarters.
