Plume Hunters.

Florida once upon time was alive
with wild birds, says the Florida
Times Union. According to William
T. Honaday, author of American Ma
tural History, no other state in Amer
lea, except possibly California, ever
possessed bird fauna quite compar
able with Florida. Florida bird life
was one of the wonders of America
But the gunners began to shoot and
shoot.
The plume hunters have practically
exterminated the roseate spoonful, the
flamngo, the scarlet ibis, and the
Carolina parrakeet. and the limpkin
and ivory-billed woodpecker have
about disappeared, largely in the in
terest of the millinery business to orna-
ment fashionable bats. The robin and
other song and MISUNDERSTANDING birds
are fast going. Unless stand is
taken by well enforced laws the wild
bird life eff the state win eventually
disappear and the multiplicity of in
sects must imperil or destroy agricul-
tural interests.

Snow-capped Mt. Hood. "A difficult,

termination won out. according to
Popular Mechanics Magazine. Part of
the trip was made on horseback, but
when the steep grades were encomt-
cred it was every man for himself.
The newsboy was equipped with an i'm
provised sled and blocks studded with
heavy spikes. These implements, how
ever. proved more of a hindrance
than help and were discarded. Rails
ing himself on his abnormally strong
arms he flung his body up the incline

ton He had occupied this office only
short time when the sheriff of Har-

persuaded him to make the race for
the unexpired term of sheriff, to which
he was easily elected. He was hon

times and srved the people in this
important office for Is consecutive
years. Four years ago Mr.. Anderson
declined reelection and retired to pri-

Spiders Ride on Back Of Files.

There is an aspect of spider and fly

full insect Is often an immature spider.

the fly it's winged palfrey, and courses
from place to place at the will of Its

us a step further In the study of par

Not All Love Silence.

DIR. A. A. Brill of New York tells
Of a musical genius who complained
of insomnia. which he maintained to
be due to street noises In the city and
cricket and night calls in the country.
Many persons who become hypersen-
sitive to noises blame their troubles
on the sounds. This very patient could
listen with rapture to music and yet
believe that noises kept him awakei
Some of the greatest apostles OF ST.
lence have shown themselves In need
Of noise. For example. John Stuart
Mil, who was an enemy of all noise,
hired a boy, according to Doctor Brill,
to beat a drum next to the room In
which he worked In order to stimulate
his thoughts.

My battalion was chosen from the reg

up the first time. We took up a front
about a mile long.
well, there was some grooming
when we found what kind Of trenches
they had handed us. They had mud
up to your shoetops and they were
lOusier than a cuckoo. We went In at
night and spent the first few hours
getting our dugouts fixed up.
This first trip In the trenches was
only for ten days. But we were glad
to get the rest, when IL came time for
us to be relieved. We wanted the
chance to get a bath.
"Our trenches were only 500 yards
away from the Fritzies and we could
see them fine. During our stay in there
we got a chance to try some shoot
ing, but there wasn't much doing ex-
cept the Smelling from the German
trenches. In our battalion In that
stay we lost sixteen men killed and
wounded. Two of them were killed
by snipers' bullets and the other seven
by artillery fire.

"It's a funny thing about that she'll

a shell come over we all wanted TO
know where IL struck. After about
the first day we got 80 used TO II that

and sometimes they did pretty well.
The trouble was that the smokestack

into the trench.

'The only time 1 ever came real near
to getting hurt on that first trip up was
the evening before the day we were
relieved. A wagon drawn by mules
was brought up to take away a lot of
eats we hadn't used and / had a de-
tall OF seven men out to load the wag-
on. We had the wagon almost load

But they were going over our heads
and we didn't pay much attention.
