ISLAND IN LAKE MICHIGAN FOR THE FIELD MUSEUM - PROPOSED SITE TOR Em: HEED MLTSZUTf C~*& I CHICAGO.—Two plans to Circum vent A. Montgomery Ward, the "watch dog of the lake front." and obtain a down-town site for the Field museum have just been brought forward. One is the pro ceeding brought by the South park commissioners to condemn Ward's easement and permit the erection of the museum on the site originally planned in Grant park. The other, and more spectacular scheme, was sprung in the legislature at Spring field when Representative Shanahan and Senator Billings Introduced bills ceding 2.000 feet by 950 feet of sub- | merged land, lying 200 feet east of Grant park, to constitute an island site for the big institution. The island would lie directly east of the foot of Congress street and would be con nected with the park by two orna mental bridges. This plan the mu seum supporters hold in reserve in case Ward wins in the condemnation proceedings. PETER PAN IN TREE Boy Sleeps in House Among Branches During Summertime. If Disturbed During Night by “Pirates” He Calls His Father's Residence by Telephone—Redskins Bring Him Cake. London.—A real Peter Pan, who lives with the fairies in a little wooden house high up on a tree top, has at last been discovered. He lives in the garden of a house in Warren road, Bexley Heath, and, unlike the original Peter, condescends to reside with his parents. His name is Geoffrey Burghard, and he is nine years old. A correspondent was privileged to pay a visit to Peter Pan's house. It is made of strong wood and has three windows, a top hat for a chimney pot. and the branches of the tree, which come right into the house, are used for hanging up knives and pistols The house is some 20 feet from the ground, and to get into it the visitor has to enter a cave, climb up a long ladder, and crawl through a trap door. And then you are face to face with Peter! The visitor found Peter Pan sitting by the south window of his house, his knees drawn up to his chin, looking pensively at the country which stretches out to Sevenoaks. But on the visitor entering he jumped up and welcomed him warmly "Will you sit down?” he said, quite politely, and then proceeded to talk about the little house and his recent adventures. In the summer time and when the weather is warm Master Geoffrey Bleeps in the house in the tree every night. By the bedside he has a tele phone connected with his father's big house at the other end of the garden. If he is disturbed in the middle of the night by "pirates" in the form of tramps, he can just ring up his father and give the alarm. As Peter Pan was talking he rose to his feet and waved excitedly out of ihe south window. Nothing could be seen excppt a small boy in the dis tance, who w'aved in reply. “He is one of the ‘lost boys’ of my band.” Peter explained. ‘No doubt he is tracking the irates or going to the lagoon." The “lost boys," it must be ex plained, are, according to J. M. Barrie, who discovered them, babies who fell out of their mothers’ perambulators when they were a week old and es caped to the Never-Never Land. Master Geoffrey has several “lost boys” in his band, and many a fierce fight have they had, led by Peter, with the pirates on the steps of the little house. And, occasionally kind hearted red skins, who are their friends (in realty i cici uuu 1110 kjKj> a nuu*v c*u j uu ii of the country round about. Opposite the house is a strawberry plantation, and in the summer—but It is .unwise to go into all iheir adventures. At this time of the year, when the branches are bare, visitors can see Peter’s house in the tree quite clearly. But in the summer It disappears, for the green leaves entirely cover it, and the birds build their nests all around It. Every morning, when Peter is sleep ing in the house during the summer months, he is awakened by the sing ing of the birds, and sometimes they fly in at the window and eat his break fast. Every year at springtime Peter Pan's cousin Wendy, whose real name is Miss Ethel Blesslev, aged ten, comes to the little house and does his spring cleaning for him. She scrubs the floor, cleans the win dows, puts up clean curtains, darns his socks, and makes him generally comfortable for the year. Bears Very Fond of Honey After Killing One Animal Hunter Re turns to Find Cub Preempted Store of Sweets. Cross Fork. Pa.—When Edward Gil lespie came upon a big bear that was so busy robbing a wild bee's store house of honey that it was an easy thing to pop him over, he thought he had about the biggest streak of luck of any hunter along Kettle creek. This luck seemed to ho'.d good when he had examined the long hole in the bee tree from which the prize bear had been feeding, for the store had all the evidence of abundance. Gillespie had all he could do to tote his big bear out to an old road, from which point he fetched him with a wagon. He calculated that the bear meat and hide would net him at least Fruit Diet New London Fad Bureau Opened to Proclaim Advan tages of Fruitarian Food as Cure for Human Disease. I.ondon. — The •‘fruitarian" has stepped into the field as an avowed rival of the vegetarian. In the end. of course, the former may prove a co worker with the advocate of garden truck, for he. too, has aimed his diet etic crusade against humanity's con sumption of too much “flesh meat." In any event, “The Order of the Golden Age" has opened an international bu reau In Brompton road for the pur pose of proclaiming the advantages of fruitarian diet as a practical and ef ficacious way of lessening human dis ease and suffering and preventing a great deal of animal pain Claim is , advanced that already adherents and workers have been enrolled in 48 countries and colonies throughout the world. "Fruitarian food is man's natural food.” proclaims the ritual of this or ganization. "It includes all the cereals. ! nuts, fruits, both fresh and dried. an<J it can be supplemented by milk and honey, cheese and eggs. It contains all the body building properties of flesh food, but in richer abundance. It also contains the principle of life It is free from the germs of disease and also from waste products and deleteri ous adulterations “It promotes health and longevity, reduces doctors' bills to a minimum, cures and prevents intemperance and makes a humane and spiritual life more possible. It does not necessitate bloodshed and cruelty It increases mental and spiritual perception: helps man to control his lower physical na ture. It is in accord with the Divine Will, for our Creator made man a fruit eating creature The adoption of this reform will ameliorate the condi tion of both individuals and nations, will lessen poverty, crime and physi cal deterioration and will tend to bring the people back to the land and to a more natural and hygienic life " Mr. Sidney H. Beard is the founder and president of the new society, and handbooks and recipes for the prepar ation of fruit in various dishes are dealt out $50, for bruin was In fine fettle. The honey, he felt sure, would aggregate 100 pounds, and this, at 10 cents a p^nd would add to the profit of the day’s hunt. The day following the bear shoot Gillespie, accompanied by his young son and a dog, went early to the woods where the bee tree stood with its rich store of sweets. He hadn’t counted on a second bear; hence did not carry a gun. as the kegs of honey, be felt, would be all that he could lug. But when within a quarter of a mile of the bee tree the dog went off at a tangent into a thicket of laurel and hemlock, and in a few minutes Gillespie saw a fine big bear biking for the tall timbers within good shoot ing distance and fairly across the opening, so that the possession of a gun would have insured to him an other $50 worth of commercial prod uct He had calculated on chopping the opening in the tree somewhat larger so as to work more freely at the honey, and with a hatchet he climbed for the job. But. imagine his astonish ment, upon reaching the hole, about 20 feet up. to find that the bee home had been pre-empted by a visitor—a youngster of a cub. so engrossed in the job that Gillespie was practically upon- him before the cub knew of his danger. Gillespie jerked back, lost his bal ance, fell and v<s crippled; but his calls and those of his boy attracted two men on their way to work at a birch still, one of whom shot and brought down the cub. and both of whom managed to get the crippled hunter and bis game home.

Make Bugs For Government Woman Sculptor Engaged In Cutting Out Enlarged Model* of Harm ful Insects. Washington—Making models of bugs for Uncle Sam's use in teaching agriculturists and 'bugology’ students how to distinguish between insects that are harmful and those that are ^ useful. It the novel occupation of j Mrs. Otto Heidenmann. well known i as a sculptor in this city. It’s no easy task that Mrs Helde- ’ i..ann has All the skill of the sculp- | tor :s necessary in the dexterous J fashioning of the queer looking mod- j eis. for although they are made on a | trg.ict.ie scale in comparison to the j We-sise of insects, a cruse microsco-1 :-;c s r'dy iff the sufeject and the abil- ' ity ta sKspe the different parts qn identical lines are details of Mrs | Heuiemann's work that must be fol-; ! i*ed each time she molds a repro- j produced busts of some of the leading celebrities of the day. but she says her art has never been more severely taxed than it Is through her employ ment for the bureau of entomology of the department of agriculture. The models of Insects cover virtually every known form of life in the world of bugs The models are a true production, fantastic in. some cases and hideous in others, and they furnish excep tional means for persons Interred in agriculture to study both the in sects that destroy crops and the others that preserve agricultural pro ducts. * A practical entomologist herself. Mrs Heidenann is equipped for her dif?,cult task as few persons in the country are. She is the wife of a well known expert in entomology, and has frequently accompanied him on collecting tours In various parts of the country In making her models ior she uses wire thread. wax. celluloid, rubber, papier mache and other materials, of which one is a composition she discovered herself j and the secret of which she carefully guards. Millions of dollars’ worth of prop erty is destroyed each year by des tructive insects. The fight which the department of agriculture has made to combat this destruction is based to a large extent on the work which Mrs. Heidemann does for the government. Dog Saves Freezing Master.

Washington. — Six countries have promised to send representatives to the international congress on child welfare which convenes in Washing ton May 10. For the Love of Lem Yet By MARGUERITE STABLER (Copyright, by Short Storiea Co., Ltd.) Be street was almost deserted. Dismal little gleams of yellow light trickled through the dripping fog, giv ing to the few skurrying figures a ghost-like dimness. The pavements shone wet and slippery under the flaring lamps and threw back a faint hearted reflection elongated by the slope of the hill. The gaudy sign boards that flanked the door-ways with their loud, discordant colorings were hushed into neutrality by the encroaching mist; but amid it all Chuck VVah sat serene and philosoph ical, placidly pulling away at his long stemmed pipe. His face, a graven wooden image of barbaric hideous n«'ss, was turned toward the door way and his slant-eyed glance never taken from the wicket. The daily round of San FYancisco shoppers and tourists was over and :t was still too early for the frequenters of the gambling dens to be abroad, so in the interim the street was al most deserted save for the occasional figures flaring into visibility under a lamp and fading into mist-men the next moment. The feeble shafts of light threw grotesque shadows down the dark alleys, making them more black and forbidding than ever, and the sodden pavement that muffled the hastening footsteps into a half heard shuffle gave back a wraith-like echo. All Chinatown, like Chuck Wah, seemed holding its breath in antici pation of the later revelries. And old Wah could well afford to wait pa tiently, knowing the tide of prosper ity that, w*ith the coming night, would set toward his gambling den. But all Chuck Wah's vigilance was needed on this occasion, even more than he dreamed, for there was se dition in the rear of his shop and hot revolt. Wing Tee’s pitiful story, was the usual one and no less tragic for its frequency. She had a fading mem cro scrs jx&csrsf amp (?avzw-\ cs&£> «rj Jfi-XOA'E ory of blue mountains, broad rice fields, freedom. Then there was the coming of the strangers, promises, transportation, disillusionment and— worse than death. So much worse that Siva the destroyer had been dil igently courted by the few rude means she could devise, but she was too young and strong and healthy. Lem Yet had brought her a tiny dagger she could keep concealed in her sleeve, but no sooner had he giv en it to her than he had extracted a promise from her not to use it. And strangely enough since she had known Lem Yet she had not been so anx ious to die. And now she knew his reason. He had told her one day a better way to escape. A way by which she still might live—and life had once been very sweet and still might be, she hoped—and Lem Yet might still be able to fill her eye as he did now. The plan had seemed very easy as she had first heard it. The direc tions she knew she could not forget because Lem had pictured them out for her on a card. ‘ Two turns to the right, one to the left, fourth door from the corner” and—safety. Now all that was required of her was patience ] to wait for an opportune time and caution when it came. So while Chuck Wah sat and from force of habit watched the wicket, pulling away in deep draughts at the “portable ecstasy” in which he dealt, he did not dream how needful <t was | to keep all his faculties on the alert. ! His gains were heavy and these idle : moments were at times he chose to count up his increasing wealth in his head. He was a strong tongsman, he had much influence with the six com panies, he also had no fear of being molested by the "Chinatown Squad” for reasons known only to himself' and them, so as he sat and gloated over his affairs he waxed complaisant j and—drowsy. Still, from force of hab- i it his eyes were pointed toward the [ wicket. But as he sat there little I did he dream that at that moment. ! not thret yards from him, down the dark, rickety stairway, the trembling, grouching, frightened little figure of his most valuable slave-girl was steal ing out into the street. Once, to be sure, the sound of a creaking plank had caused him to start and prick up bis ears to listen. His was a very old building, human souls were craiun-.ed»so tightly into it there was scarcely breathing room between them, so it was small wonder if the ] boards sometimes gave a little, as if to stretch its capacity of bolding ten ants and increasing rents. On the other side of the wall, half way down the dark stairway, the little fugitive stood half paralysed with fright, know ing only too well what the sound of that creaking plank might bring upon her. As she waited in an agony of suspense she crouched agaiDst the wall, fearing the blood rushing through her veins and the loud thump !ng of her heart would arouse the whole community. But as nothing un toward followed and the sound was not repealed. Chuck Wah restored his pipe to his mouth and continued his smoke, telling himself it was a rat, and the frightened little slave ven tured another step. When at last, by crawling and slid ing, scarcely daring to move, yet real izing haste was her only hope, she reached the foot of the stairway, she stopped, and before emerging from Its protecting shadow quickly took off her little wooden-soled slippers and tucked them under her arm. Then suddenly Wah thought he saw a figure flit past his wicket. He jumped up, and in his clumsiness overturned the table as he rushed for the door. Turning an instant to save the lamp, the next flash of the figure was lost upon him, and when he reached the door the fugitive was swallowed by the friendly fog. Down the street she pattered, un noticed by the hurrying passers ex cept to be jostled out of their way. Two turns to the right she had made in safety. Already she began to feel free and secure. What would old Wah think when he found she had es caped? she asked herself. On the in stant a sudden thought struck her, making her catch her breath in a quick, painful gasp. He would un doubtedly suspect Lem, and what would be the result? She knew too well the work of the “hatchet men” to be in doubt as to what the end would probably be. The See Yups were the strongest tong on the coast and Chuck Wah one of the strongest See Yups in the tong Against his influence the efforts of the “Chinatown Squad” would be fu tile. Lem would quietly disappear and no one be the wiser.. At the turn to the left she hesitated The glee in her heart had died out. It was not the prospect of her safety in the mission home she thought of now. \\ hat would rescue and safety or anything else mean to her if Lem Yet lost his life in accomplishing it? The chill of the night crept into her heart as she realized that every step she was taking toward her safety might be also toward Lem's undoing. As she waited, irresolute, a tall figure loomed up in the mist before her. Instinctively she again flattened herself against the wall as it ap proached. The next instant with a smothered cry of joy she was about to spring toward him. Lem Yet at last! But the cry was strangled In her throat. On he came, peering, list ening, searching for her, as she knew. Crouching in the angle of the wall she let him pass. She almost felt his breath, he was so near, yet the next instant gone. The fourth floor, her home of refuge, now only a few steps aw’ay, gleamed with a friendly light. Lem ran hur riedly up the steps to inquire wheth er the little fugitive had reached it The calm-eyed little mother of the fold shook her head as she explained that no one had been there that even ing. Wing, motionless as a little Satsu ma idol, saw it all and shrank still deeper into the shadow. Her life was not of much account, she told herself with a choking sob, one more or less of her kind was of no conse quence. The open doorway sent out a hint of hospitable warmth to the shivering little waif. Mere within half a dozen steps was an escape for ever from the horror and degradation of the life behind her. She clasped her hands so tight over her breast and dug her sharp pointed nails so deep into her flesh the blood came in tiny crescent-shaped gashes. As Lem, baffled and disappointed, turned from the door and made his way back to the corner again, his gar ments almost brushed against the quivering little Wing. As his figure disappeared into the dimness, with heart and soul she strained after the one gleam of happiness that had come into the horror of her life. Lem, she knew, now thought her heart was bad and that she did not want to escape, so he was lost to her. When the mission door was closed and Lem out of sight down the street, the piteous little atom straightened her limbs from their cramped position and turned to retrace her steps. The streets were still quiet. Back to the corner, one turn to the right, two to the left, she turned. The fog seemed denser, the darkness more cruel and bold. Again as Chuck Wah sat In his shop he heard a plank creak. He listened suspiciously, but as it was not re peated, he again restored the pipe to his mouth with a malediction upon the rats. Softly the door closed behind her. No one had discovered the little slave's escape and no one heard her return. AT THE PLAY. She took a seat In front of me; Alas.

MATTER DEFINIfALY DECIDED Thinks Situation Does Not Warrant Such Action.—Other Matters at the State Capital. Gov. Shallenberger has decided not to call an extra session of the Nebras ka legislature. He does not think the situation at present such as contemp lated by the constitution as warrant for so doing. He says the bank guar anty bill has been enjoined by the federal court, which denies to the state the right to determine the terms under which persons may engage in the banking business, and the author ity of the state to levy a tax to pro tect the depositor as an exercise of the police power. Until an opinion is rendered upon these points by the supreme court of the United States any action by the legislature to carry out the people's will for providing safer bank laws must wait upon the action of the su preme federal authority. The Okla homa banking law is now before the supreme court o* the United States and a decision as to its constitution ality will probably be rendered in a short time. A finding upon the vital points in that case may also settle the matter as to the validity of the Nebraska statute, or so clarify the situation as to enable the legislature to frame a satisfactory guaranty law, founded upon the opinion of the high est court. Should such a situation oc cur and the conditions permit of the framing of a law in conformity with the court’s decision and satisfactory to the people of Nebraska, the gover nor would not hesitate to call an ex tra session to p^s such a statute and such other laws as deemed for the best interests of the people of the state. The governor said he found a strong sentiment in ~ie east for a postal sav ings bank law, and that the prospects were that this congress would enact such a measure. A postal savings bank law will inevitably drain the money of the western states to the great financial centers of the east. He was convinced that a guaranty of deposits law that would keep the money of Nebraska in our own state, provide equal security to that afford ed by a postal bank law and keep Ne braska money available for Nebraska business men was a consummation very much to be desired. The indorsement of the income tax amendment by Nebraska and other legislation of importance is not of such vital interest at this time that it cannot wait for action either by the next regular session or at an extra session to be convened should future developments, as indicated above, war rant the assembling of the legislature in extra session. To Increase Rates. The Douglas County Telephone company operating at Valley, Water loo and Elkhorn, has filed a modified petition, asking the State Railway commission to increase rates.

Walter Lonsdale, Dr. Cook’s secre tary, was adducing facts in praise of Dr. Cook. “And these facts,” he concluded, “prove my chief’s honor; and the oth er side’s defense is as weak as the well-known defense of the parlor maid.” Mr. Donsdale glanced at his lug gage packed for Copenhagen.
