The WarbIers Arrive.
Jackpot"

If there is one family of feathered
friends which bothers Peter Rabbit
more than another it is the Warbler
family. so many of them come to-
gether and they are so everlastingly on
the move that fellow doesn't have a
chance to look at one long enough to
recognize him." he complained to Jenny
Wren. 1t was an early spring morning
and the Old Orchard was fairly alive
with little birds no bigger than Jenny
herself And such restless little folks
as they were! Not for an instant were
they still.
Peter watched them fitting from tree
to tree and twig to twig, dartinK out
into the air and back again. and all the
time keeping up an endless, chattering
mingled with little snatches Of song. No
sooner would Peter fix his eyes on one
than another wholly different in ap-
pearance would take it's place. Only
occasionally would he see one whom he
recognized. Usually this was one who
would stay for the nesting season. But
the majority of them would stop only
for a day or two. being bound farther
north to make their summer homes.
Jenny Wren did not seem to look
upon them wholly with favor. Perhaps
she was little bit envious. You see,
compared with the bright colors Of some
of them. Jenny was a very plain, small
person, indeed. Then. too. there were
so many of them and they were so busy
catching all kinds of small worms and
insects that perhaps Jenny was little
fearful that they would not leave
enough for her to get her own meals
easily.
II don't see what they stop here for, -
scolded Jenny. They could just as well
go somewhere else where they would
not be taking the food out of the mouths
of honest folks who are here to stay all
summer. Did you ever in your life see
such uneasy people? They don't keep
still an instant. 1t makes me tired,
actually tired. just to watch them"
For the life of him Peter couldn't help
chuckling. You know Jenny Wren her
self is a very restless. uneasy person.
AS for Peter he was thoroughly enjoy
ing this visit Of the Warblers, despite
the fact that he was having no end OF
trouble trying to tell who was who.

PLAN BIG ROUND UP
OF AFRICAN ELEPHANTS
Cape Council Movement Likely to
Exterminate Famous Denizen of
the Dark Continent.

LONDON. June 25 Correspondence
of the Associated Press).-The life of
the famous African elephant seems to
be in danger. for the South African
Cape provincial council proposes to
exterminate those in the Aldo Bush
forest. near Port Elizabeth. For gen.
erations past these animals have
been a great nuisance to the farm
ers. They have damaged crops and
killed several persons.
The African elephant is noted for
it's faziness-quite the reverse to its
Indian relative, who when called
upon cheerfully and easily shoulders
q burden of a ton or so. However, an
effort is to be made to train the
young ones for log-hauling in the
Cape forests.
The rounding up of the animals has
involved the erection of a number of
lofty observation towers. and so large
shooting of the animals will take
over six months. The natives enjoy
elephants meat and the prospect of
an unlimited supply for several
months is being eagerly looked for
ward to.
The. provisional councils announce
ment has caused keen regret among
naturalists, some of whom say that
should the threat be carried into eff
feet the elephant. like the mastodon
and the ichthyosaurus, may become
extinct

TOW many investors, if they were forced

Some brokerage concerns have re-

their purchases as measure of
