SpARROW-HAWKS GOT SNAKE
Reptile Seemed to Have Small Cham"
Against the Little Though
Fierce Birds.

We soon found that there we're two
sparrow-hawks about, and by the It'll
of March it seemed evident that they
were mated and we're considering the
locality as a summer residence.
We now saw them almost daily, and
the perfect domestic harmony. indeed
| should say affection, shown between
them, and the tender care and gal
lantry on the part of the male. would
seem to suggest a high plane OF evo-
luton, and reminds one again that
all the world is kin. Indeed, what
have we of altrusm which may not
have its beginning in the humblest
creature?
In accord with history and tradition
the male was chief hunter, but very
often shared the game with his mate
after the "killing.' Rushing to the
back window, attracted by loud call
of killee, killee, killee, killee, we would
frequently see him returning from the
hunt with a rat. a mouse, or an Eng
lish sparrow, and it must be con
fessed that even small sOng-birds were
not strictly prohibited under his lib
eral Interpretation Of the law. III
moment the female would light on a
perch nearby, Whereupon the male
would Immediately remove the mouse
from his talons, with which the prey
is almost always carried, and politely
deliver it to his mate from his beak.
One bright, sunny afternoon there
was an unusually excited call heard
1t seemed that a garter-snaEe had
glided forth from its hiding place tC
enjoy the early spring warmth, cir
cumStan which proved more fOrtu
nate for tie "early bird" than for the
early snake Ii was most picturesque
and exciting even to a spectator to
see this fierce little bird, slightly
smaller than flicker, flying about
, from tree to tree as If in search of a
more favorable stand, struggling with
his wrlthing prey. When the snake
had been decapitated and several
inches of its length devOured, it
seemed sufficiently subdued to be Of
fered to the mate, although it was still
wriggling when she accepted the offer
ing. She ate it with evident relish,
holding it firmly on the branch under
her foot while she pulled off small
pieces. When the tail was reached it
became very difficult to hold this
slender, tapering morsel.-S. Harm

New Kind of Auto.

David Cook, age five, of Wabash,
has been around automobiles ever

Was Marcus AureIius a PersecutOr7

was MARCUS HulCllbo a fSi SSSheS'
Under the reign of the prince
philosopher, Marcus Aurelius, were
the Christians prosecuted? After Re
nan, Linsenmayer and Allard have
charged the memory of that emperor
with this infamy, now A. 2. Lemer-
cier, professor of Caen. in preface
to his just published edition of his
"Pensees," at the hand of history, con-
tests the statements of these savants.
According to him, the instructions
given by Marcus Aurelius to the legate
of Lyons were of political and not a
religious nature. Besides, the prince
was then Ill, and 1t was impossible for
him to control the legate's reports.
Several texts intimate that Marcus
Aurelius alleviated certain measures
taken against the Christians and that
those which he dictated we're perhaps
exceeded. The discussion bears on
very remote facts. If Marcus Aure-
Illus had had foreknOwledge of the
controversy he would undoubtedly
have cried with Antisthenes: 1T is a
royal virtue to act well and to let
calumny run Its course"

CAPE HAITIEN, Nov 1S.-Haiti of ten has been referred to as a back ward nation. but in dress the Haitian women of the predOminating peasant class long anticipated the American flappers in two of her most distinctive traits. Short skirts and the trick of rolling her own" were adopted here long before the flapper took them to her heart. Short Skirts are a neces- sity to the woman who spends her days toiling in a garden or riding burro.
