BIRD club
= N otes

SOou tildilS years dSo GILL
sylvania passed a law Offering
bounty for killing owls and hawks.
These birds were thought to be
good for nothing and as they
caught a chicken now and then,
they ought to be killed.
Every one made war on the poor
owls and hawks. What will peo-
pie not do for money? The gov
eminent paid out large sums of
money to get these birds destroyed.
/ And then what happened? Why,
before they knew it the mice, rats,
gophers, etc, were destroying the
crops and everything in sight. They
ate and destroyed millions of dol
lars worth Of the farmers produce.
1t was beyond all human efforts to
check them. They were in the
houses, barns. granaries and fields.
In fact they We're everywhere.
They ate the plants in the gar
dens as fast as they came through
the ground, gnawed many OF the
orchard trees until they died and
played havoc in the fields of grain.
A large part of that which escaped
them in the fields was destroyed in
the granaries.
Pennsylvania will never pass an
other law favoring the destruction
of owls and hawks, even though
hawks and big owls may sometimes
kill chicken. They have learned
a lesson which will not soon be
forgotten.
Mice and rats increase so rapid
ly that if they had no enemies they
would soon overrun the world.
I Owls and hawks are far better
mousers than cats. No cat can
begin to catch so many rats and
mice as does an owl.
/ Whenever mice and rats are I'M
usually numerous we may know
that the most of the owls and
hawks have taken their departure
for other feeding grounds. These
birds wander around from place to
place, ranging where they find
plenty Of their favorite food. Owls
especially will not stay where they
are prosecuted but seek other
hunting grounds.
A woodpecker climbed up a tele-
phone pole,
And started to drill there wee,
small hole;
He dug his spurs in good and strong
So he wouldn't slip as he drilled
along.
Then he turned his ear to the
wary sound
Of the little white worm in the
hole so round;
| Adjusted his belt and trimmed his
sail,
Then winked his eye and tapped
his tail,
And he went to the feast that ma
ture spread
Because the woodpecker used his
head.
SO there's a lesson for you and me
AS we journey along to eternity;
Just set your feet on the solid
ground,
! And adjust yourself to the things
around;
Then trim your sail so your wheels
won't skid,
And use your head like the wood
: pecker did.
Meteors.
Observations made simultaneously
flom stations far apart have proved
that the average meteor when first
seen is about eighty miles above the
surface of the earth, and disappears
from view at thirty miles. In other
words it travels fifty miles before the
atmospheric friction burns II up. This
friction. it is reckoned raises it to a

EARLY DAYS OF

which occurred in the early tlftles.
We give the story in his own words.
was one of a party of United
States surveyors and IN December
1852 we were camped at Blue Grass
Grove engaged in subdividing what
is now Leroy township. My friend,
John S. Jenkins and his son, John
came up to our camp from Big
Grove, for hunt with me, game
being plentiful then. We two, Jenk-
ins and myself started off together
westward from our camp.
During the day a heavy snow
storm came on, we got bewlldered,
lost all idea of directions and wan
dered around long into the night
completely lost.
"At one time we heard q strange
noise near us, as of many large AMI
mails running throuh the snow,
making the peculiar wbistllng sound
of the elk when startled We sup
posed we had run into a band OF
those animals but it was too dark
to see them.
Continuing our tramp later into
the night we entered brush patch
and stopped to rest, being tired out
and hungry, Mr.. Jenkins was IN
worse plight than | and complained
that his feet we're hurting him. |
suspected that his feet were frozen
which afterwards proved to be the
case. We gathered fuel and started
fire.
MIR. jenkins proposed to take
off his boots and examine his feet
but | persuaded him not to do so as
he would have difficulty in getting
them on again. We made a bed of
brush and dried grass, and he laid
down and slept while | tended the
fire.
Toward morning the clouds part
ed and | got fair view of the great
handled dipper and the north star
and so fixed the direction in my
mind. When morning came it was
still cloudy and the sun was obscur-
ed all day.
Jenkins awoke very much discour-
aged, still complaining of his feet,
and expressed doubt that we should
ever reach home again, | tried to
encourage him and pointed out the
direction | thought we should trav-
ell. He disputed me and said he
thought we should travel In nearly
the opposite direction. There is

direction. He had no idea | knew
any better than he did. and who
in h. sir, told you that was north@"
he asked.
/ explained to him of my seeing
the north star while he had slept.
He cooled down but apparently not
convinced and respondent; said we
were lost beyond hope of discovery
that no one would know where to
reach for us, and that if any one
attempted to find us there was
hardly a chance Of success, and that
he believed we would perish.
| urged that we should find our.
selves by following the course
suggested. He finally consented tc
follow me that day but said he die

DOG BITE CAUSES DEATH

SHREVEPORT, La, Aug. Is
Watchman R. L. Bush, aged 40, would
be living today if it were not for his
attachment to an extremely vicious
dog he has been in the habit of keep
ing for the last two years. Late last
week party of joy riders stopped
near the mill where Bush acted as
watchman to get a drink of water
Bush's dog attacked the party, and
when driven off with stick, the mas
ter interfered with shotgun, threat
ening to kill whomever molested his
dog.
Frank Dickson, colored, resented
the attack of both the dog and its
master, with the result that Bush was
shot dead.
A reward of $l00 has been offered
for the apprehension of Dickson, dead
or alive. 1t is thought that, true to
Southern custom, Dickson will be
captured dead, if at all
With Dickson in the automobile
were Henry Specks, Miss Elnora
Tannerhill and other woman, whose
name could not be learned.

MUST SOLVE
PROBLEM

The Rev. Truman Greene (white),
pastor of The Chicago Lawn Metho-
dist Church in his sermon Sunday
night, subject, Our Brother in
Black" asserted that the final dispo-
stion of the problems involving
white and colored people of this
country in his opinion rests with the
church for solution. The Doctor
urged the inculcation OF the spirit OF
brotherhood and said, The Church
can educate him and eradicate the
inherent faults of him. We can
Christianize him" As far as the
doctor went in his statement, all fair
minded men must agree, but the good
doctor should have gone little
farther with his theme and said, Let
us also educate and eradicate the in
herent faults and Christianize the
white brother as we'll For the
Negroes weaknesses and vices are
but reflection of the alleged SUI
perior Caucasian.

COL. SIMMONS IN THE
WORLD WAR

Marion, Ill, Aug. 25.-Roscoe Sim
mons. who obtained his title of
Colonel because of the fact that he
once passed through Kentucky, spoke
here last Friday night. The "Cun-
ners" subject was Close Ranks" He
was advertised as the only colored
man to sit at the Peace Conference
at Paris and as man who went
through the entire World War. 1t is
not intended to deny the Colonel any
of the emoluments he might obtain,
by sailing under false colors, but
records of the late struggle which
have been carefully examined fail to
show the name of Colonel Roscoe
Simmons as a member OF the Peace
Conference at Paris, nor is there so
far as can be learned any record of
him having taken any part upon
any battlefield in the recent war.
There is, however, a record of the
."Cunne1 having visited Paris al the
expense of a certain Chicago paper,
which sent him for the purpose OF
being able to present to its readers
some of the facts pertaining to the
accomplishments of our boys in the
great struggle, but the "Cunnel" spent
six weeks in Paris writing about HIM
self.

AT an inquest held yesterday be
fore Justice OF the Peace r. f. Nc
Dowcll, Police Officer James Cope
land was cleared OF the murder OF
Charlie Dow, colored whom he slew
while attempting to arrest him on the
night OF July 2l. 1t appears that Dow
was carrying sack containing TASKS
of whisky and when accosted by the
officer was unwilling to reveal the
contents. Copeland then, according to
witnesses, set upon Dow beating him
unconscious with his club, after
which he fired three shots into the
PROSTATE form of the colored man.
As result OF this dubious justice,
many colored families are today leav-
ing for the North. Three special
trains left for Chicago last night.
