Hla cretary. Mlu Vera Belcher, passed (through Omaha a few days later on her wav tn the coast to aailst In taking the inutea of the convention. Mr. Ingersoll says the Minneapolis del egation can hardly wait until It gets to Omaha. Mr. lngersolTs family Is to fot (low to the coast on the Minneapolis spe cial, which Is to lay over a day In I Omaha. N K cannot live In thu country very long without becoming Intensely Interested In the birds. City people look at you with an Incredulous expres sion In their eyes when you mention the whistling of cardinals aboat your house. To be sure they have read The Kentucky Cardinal." but they didn't suppose aurh a bird lived anywhere about Omaha. Whereas, If they would go to the woods In early spring they would not only hear hla cheery call, but would see him sitting on some topmost limb In all the splendor of hla vivid coloring. The sight of one's first cardinal Is an event long to be remembered. He Is a bird very easily identified. There can be no mis take either about his appearance or hla whistle. Purine one winter which we spent In the country wa had a pair of cardinals which we fed every morning. The birds In winter Ilka suet; wa put the pieces through tha meat grinder and kept a bas ket cn one of the trees filled with It. At first hardly any birds seemed to be about. Gradually we accumulated quite a colony; the cardinals, downy wood peckers, two hairy woodpeckers (I die like these birds, they are so haughty and arrogant, and tha missis makes such a shrill, irritating nole)i lots of chickadees and nuthatches; a few brown creepers, a group of junooes and four blue Jaya. fool you in the spring Into thinking that a phoebe haa come. The phoebe's two notes drop one Interval of a fifth and the chlckadee'a only a whole tone. Un less one listens carefully It Is easy to con fuse the two. Otherwise the .songs are Identical. Somehow one feels a closer friendliness with the winter birds, because they are so dependent; their very lives may hang on one's klndneaa. The summer birds ap preciate tha baths and little houses, but they aren't In any such streea aa the valiant aplrlta that brave the snow and the scarcity of foods. Tha law of compensation always holds good. If I had not been 111 we should not have spent a winter In the woods and wa should never have come Into tha In timate and dally contact with these feathered frlenda. ' There never would have been so many free hours to watch them and get acquainted with them. They helped ma aa much as I helped then. M. L. report of the children. The Incident waa reported to the superintendent's office. A man with a small express wagon tl . .1 a. . i. . . uki.nl mA H IA .A Kail collected flowers jrom otner acnoois ior the Women's Relief corps. Ha showed a card bearing a list of schools. He took the Cass school floral contributions, which had been bought by the children of this district, aa very few home-grown flowers are rained In thla neighborhood. Tho children saved their pennies for this occasion and did not want to be behind other schools in the giving of flowers for honoring the graves of tha nation's fallen heroes. When they observed the corner saloon windows abloom -with the flowers they hud tend'rly carried to the school for a loftier purpose. their Indignation reached the heights of childish disappointment and amaiement. The saloon man told the principal he bought some flowers from the express man described aa the man who had called at tha school, and he offered to soften the situation by returning the flowers to the school. - Bailey Service means upkeep.

FOUR CARS OF WHEAT ARE WASHED DOWN THE STREAM In the freight train wreck on the Great Weatern tH ott-rr side of Fort ixxtge raused by hlrii water fcavU.g weakaned one ef the ImMbs. four cars of wheat were a total oa. The cars broke open when they strw.k the ground and the Wheat waa washed down etreaaa. The Jaya are not admirable blida, but tht-y are great fun to watch. Thev reminded ma of the circus clowns, the heavy, awkward way they tumbled about. We had what we called tho peanut tree for them. On It waa wound a string with the peanuta tied at Intervals; the Jays would come and crack the sheila and pick out the nuts. All through' that Cold, snappy winter L. and E. went out every day, many times In boots, to get through the drifts. The birds knew what they were bringing and flew about Impatiently longing for their ulce auet breakfast. I used to wonder where on earth they all kept themselves when the wind blew and the snow fell and the mercury dropped down and down. At least they were not hungry. The chickadees, white breasted nut hatches and downy woodpeckers are faithful comrades. Like Little Blllee. Taffy and the Laird, they are always to gether. If you see one you'll see the others. The downy woodpecker la a frasvsv Htle fellow: he doesn't look Quite respectable as he makes his way up the I r tree trunks eating the little live things that have taken refuge under the bark. He goes, however, with hla head up. The nuthatch takes hla walks upside down, apparently perfectly at home view ing the world from thJa unusual angle. The nuthatch la extremely trim In his gray tailored ault; looks the pink ef fashion. These birds rather remind you of humans; It Isn't possible to unite every thing In one creature. By rights tha stylishly clad nuthatch should locomote like a Christian and the woodpecker I should stand on his head. The good Lord seldom beetowe perfection o any living thing.
