court of Judge Lands, wherein the
loan sharks appear in the stellar
roles Much color is given one in

TRIBUTE TO CONNOLLY.-The
Socialist party in Ireland and the la
Dor movement throughout the world
have lost a faithful and stern advO-
cate in James Connolly, who was
wantonly murdered by the hired as
sassins of the British government for
participation in the movement to
make Ireland a nation. He was the
founder of the Irish Socialist RepUb-
lican party, and as one of the initial
members I came to know and love
him we'll.

life to the advancement of labor and

ponds, furnish ideal nesting places for
redwings, and consequently this re-
gion has become the great breeding
ground for the species. These prairies
pour forth the vast focks that play
havoc with grain fields. East Of the
Appalachian range, marshes on the
shores Of lakes, rivers, and estuaries
are the only available breeding sites
and, as these are comparatively few
and small, the species is much less
abundant than in the West. Red

Length, thirteen inches. The yell

tail shafts, and white rump are char

Range: Breeds in the eastern
United States west to the plains and
in the forested parts Of Canada and
Alaska; winters in most of the east

Habits and economic status: The
flicker inhabits the open country rath-
er than the forest and delights in park
like regions where trees are numerous
and scattered. II nests in any large
cavity in a tree and readily appro-
pirates an artificial box. 1t is pos

OF this useful bird about the farm and
to increase its numbers. II Is the

sects comprise very little more than
7 per cent Of its diet Caterpillars
are the largest item, with some
beetles, few ants and wasps, and
some bugs, among which are black
olive scales. The great bulk of food,
however, consists of weed seeds,
which amount to IA per cent of the
whole. In California this bird Is ac-
cused Of eating the buds and blossoms
of fruit trees but buds or blossoms
were found in only 80 out of SIC stom-
achs, and probably 1t is only under ex-
ceptional circumstances that it does
any damage in this way. Evidently
neither the farmer nor the fruit grow
er has much to fear from the white
crowned sparrow. The little fruit it
eats is mostly wild, and tho grain
eaten is waste or volunteer.

HEROES GROVE FOR GERMANS

Germany.

Berlin.-"How shall We honor our
dead?" is a question which is being
widely discussed in the German press
Just now. The majority of German
editors is averse to q repetition OF
the erection OF innumerahle "krieger
Denkmale," soldier monuments, such
as were In vogue after the Franco
Prussian war. Nor does the plan to
scatter throughout the empire monu-
ments Of the kaiser and the leading
generals find any approval.
The most popular proposal yet made
for the commemoration of those who
have fallen on the battlefield is the
formation of a "Hain, or grove, to
be called "Heldenhain,' or Heroes
