REAL TRAGEDY IN BIRD LIFE
Story Of Long Vigil Kept by Scarlet
Coated Songster for Missing
Mate 10 Full Of Pathos.

In the annals Of bird lore nothing
can be found SURPRISING In pathos the
story which comes from Tarlton, o.
For many weeks, close to the home of
the writer. early and late there could
be heard the loud. clear call Of bird
TO his mate. With his scarlet coat In
strong contrast with his surroundings,
and his no less decided military bear
ing, he would perch on the topmost
twig of tall apple tree. and from his
coign Of vantage scan the little world
around him with his eagle eye, hoping
to glimpse the familiar form Of his
lost companion. His alert ear and eye
catching no sight or sound of the alb
sent loved one. he would pour out his
soul in unavailing pleadings for her
return. The little singer in his untir-
ing song proclaimed the fact that he
was waiting with hopeful heart.
One morning, while in quest of the
early worm, he CHANGED to light upon a
bush that stood by window opposite
the window of another house only
few feet away, and, seeing his image
reflected so wildly and so close to him,
he flew joyOusly ut the apparition, be-
lleving il to be his long-lost mate. His
enthusiasm knew no bounds. Quick
and hard were the blows struck with
his horny bcak and claws in his i'm
potent wrath until nightfull, when he
sank to rest. The next morning at
early dawn he renewed his clarion
call, and came back to renew the bat
tie of the previous day with his de-
lusive image. This little tragedy In
the heart of the bird has been carried
on for five months. His flaming coat
Is just as bright and his kingly bear
ing none the less striking. but great
change has come over the spirit OF
the bird. He gave no sign of the bat
tie royal that has ragged in his breast
for weary days and weeks, but his
song has fallen into silence.-Cincin-
natl Enquirer. ~

Preventing Milk From Boiling Over.

Among the various devices which
are intended to prevent milk from
boiling over we noticed one which
solves the problem In very simple
way, says the Scientific American. 1t
consists of a straight tube of say two
or tl,res inches in diameter at the top
and expanding somewhat toward the
bottom, where 1t Is provided with a
daring and cup-shaped end Of rather
large diameter. the whole being some
what of trumpet shape. Out Of the
lower part are cut, say, four suitable
openings, and we set the device up
right In the vessel with the small end
just out of the liquid. Should the milk
tend to boil violently this action COM
mences at the bottom, and the liquid
Is forced up the tube, then falls upon
the sarface again, so that the boiling
action will continue in this way and
the milk has no tendency to leave the
vessel.

BOOSTING THE SABLEFISH
Declared to Be Superior to Cured
 Salmon or Halibut

The sable6sh, frequently called black cod, is coming into its own in this region. The Bureau of Fisheries publishes the following paragraph in a recent bulletin:
 The sable6sh is being strongly recommended to consumers by the Bureau of Fisheries, and fresh, frozen, and kippered is now becom- ing we'll known over the entire country. It is excellent salted, and the Bureau is confident that in that condition it will find an exten- sive market next winter. To satis- fy this prospective demand it is urged that large quantities be cured, particularly in Alaska. -
 An explanation of the cure in de- tail follows. Some of the interest," ing facts about the picking of sablefsh may be cited.
 First, the backbone is removed, some curers splitting the fish down the back only, leaving the two halves united by the belly walls as is done with mackerel and salmon.
 About 100 pounds of salt is used to each 200 pounds of fish. a larger quantity thau is employed in salt ing salmon.
 The sablefsh has been under estimated in food value, and there has been little demand for this variety of cod. Fish connoisseurs who have sampled the new salted product declare it superior to cured salmon or halibut.

NEW NAVAL TRAINING
 STATION AT SEATTLE

Young men of Alaska who may be considering entering some branch of military service will be interested to know that a training station has just been established on the grounds of the University of Washington at Seattle for the purpose of giving a course of training to the Naval Militia divi- sions being formed in the Pacific Northwest. The Naval Militia is an organization of civilians who have preference for sea duty Members of the Naval Militia are not subject to draft. After com pleting the course of training they will enter the navy service filling the same positions and perform the same duties as officers and men of the regular navy. At the end of the war they will be returned home and allowed to resume their civilian occupations
 Naval officers consider the site at the University ideal for training purposes. The location is on Lake Washington which is nov access sible from the sea for vessels of all kinds. The lake gives oppor- tunity for all kinds of boat drill, swimming exercises, hydroplane instruction, etc.
 The location is slightly, well drained, provided with pure water, rail. street car and water trauspor- tation, complete electric light sys- tenn etc.
 Application for enlistment should be made to commander Miller Freeman, Naval Militia Headquart- CTS, Smith Building, Seattle.

RED F CROSS NOTES

That "The One Hundred Million Dollar War Fund.- was far in ex- cess of itself. even the first reports to the headquarters at Washington bear record. The Fund must now be many millions beyond the hum dred million dollar mark.
 There is ample use for every dollar of this vast sum of money. Rev. Wm. A. Sunday contri- buted more than S32,ooo ot his New York collection toward the Red Cross War Fund.
 Finance the Red Cross and help defeat the enemy. Greatest Red Cross work is reconstruction.
 +
 The Red Cross is founded fun damentatly for the care and com. fort of soldiers, but we are not fighting this war alone for the di- rect efficiency of battles. We are fighting here for infinitely greater objectives. We are fighting against an enemy who had become domin. ated with a philosophy, with an idea tor which there is no room in this world with us.
 Germany is obsessed with :he single idea that survival of the strong warrants any action, de mands any submergence of tue in- dividuat to the state, which justi- fes their mastery of the world.
 "The country does not begin to understand conditions in Europe, nor what we are facing.
 F
 President Wilson says, But small proportion of our reople can have the opportunity to serve upon the actual field of battle. but all men, women and children alike may serve and serve effectively by making it possible to care properly for those who do serve under arms at home and abroad. Serve by aid ing in Red Cross work.
 The Red Cross must not only be a real foster parent to the sol- diers who go to France, but also to those the soldiers leave behind them"

CINCINNATI, Jan. 26.-Six sealed

today by the federal grand jury which
has been investigating alleged election
frauds. The names were given to the
United States marshal and he will
bring the men into court under caplas

Persistent rumors that several men
of more or less political prominence in
state politics had been indicted could
not be verified, and the United States
Attorney announced that it was hardly
probable than any names would be
given out until the men were arrested.
In a supplemental statement to the
court the grand jury pointed out that
