REAL TRAGEDY IN BIRD LIFE
Story Of Long Vigil Kept by Scarlet
Coated Sonester 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, 0.
For many weeks, close to the home of
the writer, early and late there could
be heard the loud, clear call Of a bird
TO his mate. With his scarlet coat in
strong contrast with his surroundings,
and his no less decided military bear
Ing, lie 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 abb
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
bush that stood by window opposite
the window of another house only
few feet away, and, seeing his image
reflected so vividly and SO close to him,
he few 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 Inn
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 prev .ous day with mis- de-
luslve image. This little tragedy in
the heart of the bird has been carried
on for i've 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
4 tie royal that has ragged In his breast
for weary days and weeks, but his
song has fallen into silence.-Cincin-
natl Enquirer.

Died Of Premature Old Age I!

How many times we hear of compare
lively young persons passing away when
they should have lived to be 20 or so years
of age. This fatal work is usually attri-
buted to the kidneys, as whsp the kidneys
degenerate, it causes autoaAto1cation.
The more injurious the poisons passing
thru the kidneys the quicker will those
noble organs be degenerated, and the
sooner they decay.
It IS thus the wisest policy, to prevent
premature old age and promote long life,
to tighten the work Of the kidneys. This
can be done by drinking plenty 81 pure
water all day long, and occasionally TAX
ing q little Anuric before meals. This
can be obtained Mt almost any drug store,

DESTROYER TARGET
OF GERMAN U-BOAT
AMERICAN VESSEL ATTACKED BY
SUBMARINE HUNDRED MILES
SOUTH OF NEW YORK.
Believed That Rigid Patrol Has Been
Established of Atlantic Coast,
With Heavier Craft Operating
on Outer Circle.

Washington Warning Of the prob
able presence Of a German submarine
off the Atlantic coast was sent broad
cast to all ships early Tuesday, April
II, upon receipt at the navy depart
ment of a report from the destroyer
Smith, on patrol duty, that torpedo
had crossed her bows during the
night. Following is the statement is
sued by the department:
Reported from Fire Island light
ship to the naval stations at Boston
and New York at $3.50 a. m. on the
18th an enemy submarine was sighted
by the U. s. S. Smith running appar-
entity submerged. Submarine dred a
torpedo at the U. S. s. Smith, which
missed her by thirty yards. The wake
of the torpedo was plainly seen cross
ing the bow. Submarine dtsap-
peared."
The incident serves to illustrate the
fact that rigid patrol has been es-
tablished off the Atlantic coast. No
details of its operations have been
made public.
Presumably the destroyers and
heavier craft are operated on the
outer circle of the patrol. Motor
craft form the inner lines which are
being extended as rapidly as suitable
boats can be equipped and provided
with crews.

man submarine merely foreshadows Q

war declared by the United States. II
was stated in Germany soon after the
action of congress that no aggressive
steps would be taken against the Unit
ed States. Practically no American
officials believed this statement, how

ability of submarine attack on unpro
tected seaboard cities and towns, raids
on shipping within sight of American
shores and a submarine blockade o,
