|REAL TRAGEDY IN BIRD LIFE
Story Of Long Vigil Kept by Scarlet
Coated Songster for Missing
Mate Is 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 a hopeful heart.
One morning, while in quest of the
early worm, he CHANGED to light upon
bush that stood by a window opposite
the window Of another house only
few feet away, and, seeing his image
reflected so vividly and so close to him,
he flew joyously at the apparition, be-
lieving it to be his long-lost mate. His
enthusiasm knew no bounds. Quick
and hard were the blows struck with
his horny beak 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 a 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.

Why Fish Will Fall Upward.

The deep-sea fish are subject to a
pressure internally, by gases, and ex-
ternally Of over two tons to the square
inch, and under this pressure they are
quite solid. When these fish are
brought to the surface in nets their
bodies become puffy, their bones loose
and their eyes start out Of their heads i;
very often they burst. This is because
the pressure is released.
When these fish Of the deep sea
chase their prey or rise for some rea-
son high above the ocean bed, the
gases Of their swimming bladders ex-
pand and they become light. The fish
whose muscles are not strong enough
to take it down deeper into the ocean
expands more and more until it rises
upward to the surface and is killed, SO
that it really "falls upward"

ACTION RESULT OF HABIT
Man Is an Instructive Animal and U.s.
uaIIy He Acts First and
Thinks Afterward.

At least nine-tenths of all human ac-
ton is the result, purely and simply,
of habit. Man is an instructive animal
in spite Of the reasoning faculties that
have been given to him and normally
he acts first and thinks afterward.
The child is conceived and born so
that he may do things and that in do
ing them he may develop personal
VIII and an individual character.
He could not even begin to form
q character were it not for that uni
versal process Of habit formation.
Education itself is habit. 1t could
never have been developed without
the mechanical operations Of habit.
This mechanical procedure econo-
mizes the two great essentials of edu-
cation. The first is time and the sec
Ond is energy.
Ideal behavior, then, involves per-
feet balance and sanity Of action. It
demands moderation in all things,
with every function exercising with
every other Observation-Disclosures Maya

Symptoms.


Some people take more pride in
their symptoms than they do in their
children. If you are fortunate enough
to acquire or inherit a number Of
alarming symptoms, you may be able
to spend happy lifetime being miser-
able. There is something peculiarly
charming and piquant about one who
complains about his ailments. How he
is welcomed into any little social
throng! How room brightens at his
appearance! Nervous disorders are
perhaps the most enviable endow-
ments. Have you some? Persons of
this description are charming CONVEX
sationalists. They are never at loss
for remark. They can talk Of their
complaints at any length. Sick head
aches, loss of appetite, weak back,
dizzy spells are only a few Of their
favorite topics. In talking to persons
Of this sort it is pardonable to say,
'Td rather you'd die of your symptoms
than talk Of them"

Eagle Symbol Of Power.

From ancient times the eagle, as
the king Of birds, has been looked
upon as the symbol Of power. The
American eagle is the native bald
eagle and was first adopted on the seal
Of the United States on June 20, 1882,
against the bitter opposition of Frank
lin. This patriot looked up to it as
Caesarian emblem and wanted to
know what was the matter with the
wild turkey, as being more distinctly
American. Nevertheless the eagle was
accepted, not only on the seal, but on
the first coin issued by the United
States in 1895, and on a majority Of
the coins since.

ment Of C. E. Remillard as county
commissioner for the First District
after q stiff fight for that position
which began with the proceedings to
eliminate commissioner-elect Henry
Flora. Following a call by County
Auditor Berg to the chairmen of the
town boards of Bartlett, Fawn Lake,
Germania, Moran, Staples and Vii
lard townships and to the mayor of
Staples requesting them to be present
at the office of the county auditor on
Tuesday afternoon, Jan. % for the
purpose of choosing new commits
sioner, Remillard won out with but
the support of one man at the begin
ming of the contest. VIM. Fox of Ger
mania and ]. P. Anderson, of Bartlett
were the other candidates for the job.
Remillarfs appointment meets with
general approval throughout this sec
ton for the simple reason that he is
known to be strong advocate of good
roads. While either of the candidates
may have been good commissioner
timber their attitude on public i'm
provements of this kind was more or
less an unknown quantity.

MfsCHA. LEHMAN.

In October, 1904, Mischa Elman, the famous violinist, who appears at the Park theatre, April IT, was in St. Petersburg, the star pupil of Leopold Auer, whose reputation as teacher is now worldwide. It happened that a much advertised young virtuoso was to give a concert and Prof. Auer was asked for his opinion upon the artists ability. 'I have pupil only 12 years old who is far superior,'' said Auer. This naturally was, taken as wild statement by all who heard it, and the news spread broadcast. 4Auer de- termined to back up his remarks, de- signed an opportunity for Mischa Elman to appear at the opening con- cert of the Deutcher Liedertafel-the most important musical society of the city.
 Auer was to play himself, but at the last moment he sent word that he was. too i'll to. appear, but that his youngest pupil would take his place Consequently, Elman, a lad of 12 played the Mendelssohn concerto, Paganini's "Moto Perpetuo," and a Chopin ''Nocturne" with such terrific success that the audience refused to let him leave the stage until he had played half a dozen sencores. The fol- lowing day, the name of Mischa FL man was on everybody's tongue, and from that important appearance the young virtuoso went from one to another city, and today he has played in practically every country of the glove.
 The Elman sale of seats is now on at Stefnert's.

RATTLE OF MUSIC AT
 COLONIAL BALL ROOM

What promises to be the greatest musical treat afforded the people of Bridgeport will be staged this evening at Colonial ball room when the St. Joeeph'S T. B. & L. association will present what isa known as the Battle Of Musio. This entertainment will be in the form of continuous dance.
 Two of the best orchestras in town have been procured to render the mu- sic, Kearnes' and Malone's. Each or time and at the end of the affair it which is the better.
 L0verS of the taTpSi chorean art should avail themselves of this oppor- tuntty of continuous, dancing with such high class music as win have to be rendared by both orrhestras in or der to receive the popular verdict at the end of the affair. This sort of en- tertainment has been held in Bridge port only once and met with such popular approval that the committee decided to hold the same entertain ment again only with different orches- tras.
 The cold water boys have earned an envaaib4e reputation as conductors of high class entertainments and will try to uphold this record at tonight's af- fair.
 It is hoped by the committee in change that as many as possible will avail themselves of the opportunity of witnessing this affair and also render a decision as to the merits of the bet ter orchestra

Let This Cream PimD eS

For several weeks past W. P. Hindle done big business in selling Hokara the skin healer that has won so many friends in Bridgeport.
 It has been found to heal not only all minor skin troubles, such as pim- ples, blackheads, herpes. acne, scaly scalp, complexion blemishes,- itching feet, piles, etc., but also the worst sores, ulcers, or even chronic eczema and salt rheum. There is yet to be found any form of wound or disease affecting the skin or mucous mem brane that Hokara does not help, and it's action is so quick that those who try it are simply delighted with it right from the start.
 In spite of it's unusual curative powers the price is trifing. To con- vince every one Of it's merits, w. P. Hind1e will sell liberal-sized jar for 35c And remember that if you do not think it does what it claims, you can get your money back. You cer- tainly can afford to try it on this plan.

ST. GEORGE SONS AND
 DAUGHTERS MEETING
 SUCCESS IN CAMPAIGN

Twenty teams in harness of the Daughters and Sons of St. George campaign met with great success on their first day out. In response to the call of the committee appointed to de- wise ways and means for the erection of a home for the above organization, 20 captains with their workers com menced a campaign yesterday morn- ing to raise sufficient money for the building. Although most of the work CTS are men and women who cannot afford much of their time during the day owing to their daily occupations yet it is pleasing to note that at 6:30 last evening when the captains pre- scented their reports, that cash and pledges received amounted to $1 ,275
 Two or three years ago the building committee purchased a lot on Strat- ford avenue. Since that time it has been working strenuously.
 The orders of the Daughters and Sons of St. George are fraternal and beneficial organizations and offers to the Britlshers either lby birth or pa rentage, benefits which cannot be sur passed. The sick are always visited and the widows and orphans are never forgotten.
