THE SECRETARY BIRD.
1t Kicks Like Mule and Can Swallow
 . Snake Whole.

It Kicks Like Mule and Can Swallow
 6naks Whole.
 The .rarest and most valuable birds in the New York geological garden are the strange pair of secretary birds quar- tered in the ostrich house. Secretary birds they are called because of the crest of long dark plumes that rises from the back of their heads. giving them the appearance of a clerk with a bunch of quill feathers behind his ear. It's an aristocratic name. but the thing that makes the secretary bird valuable is not his looks. The natives of South Africa love him because he can kick like mule
 Toss into his cage snake. no matter how vicious, and the fight begins i'm mediately. The bird cautiously ap- proaches the snake with wings wide spread to escape the sudden lunges by flight if necessary. Once. twice. three times perhaps the snake lunges. The bird darts back. waiting his chance. At last it comes. and one of those long. hard legs shoots out like the hoof of a mule. landing squarely on the snakes head. It reels and falls back stunned to be knocked out completely by a sec ond blow. And then it's victor pro- ceeds to swallow it whole.
 In South Africa the birds are regard ed as great protection. They are a.- fectionate mates and always travel to- gether. When pursued they spread their wings and make off over the ground with the speed of running horse.-Every Week.

A Candid Caller.

A small boy had been coerced into making an afternoon call with his mother. He had rebelled vehemently over the calling business. saying: LAW. what you want to make me go there for? She hasn't any boys. and 1t won't be any fun"
 But, dressed in his best suit, hsh had put on his company manners and had behaved very well indeed, and when their hostess served refreshments he began to feel glad that he had come.
 When it came time to leave he held out his hand. saying galInntly:
 "Goodby: I've had good time''-and then. right while his young mother was beaming her approval. he added honestly-"a whole lot better time than expected to have."-Indianapo lis News.

greatest collaboration of minstrelsy
that Mr.. Field has brought to Nash

Lenore Ulrich IS one of our most
popular stars because of her dis
tinctive beauty and her sincerity. She
impresses with what she does because
she feels the emotions she is protray-

both forcefully and appealingly.

story of the present war, which con-
Germs chiefly the invention of mar

annihilate whole companies of men
by an electric current in a manner
which would make it horribly effec-

The plot concerned the attempt of
one foreign nation to secure this
weapon, and the efforts of Miss I'll
