Differ over stork BIRD IS VARIOUSLY PERSECUTED AND PROTECTED People of Northern Germany and Den mark Welcome and Care for It — Has Never Been Popular In France. In the Baltic provinces ami through out northern Oermnny ami In Den mark the stork is met with every where during the summer months, says a correspondent While travel ing the other day from Dan/I|» to Marienberg I saw several in the fields and on nests upon buildings quite close to the railway. In Denmark, however, it is less numerous, since the draining of the morasses was lie gun It Is still fairly common in Hol land and Belgium, hut in France, owing to its being persecuted and the fact of none of the original race sur viving. It is seen only as a bird of passage In Alsace and Lorraine its better treatment is rewarded by h certain number remaining during tin* summer to breed lu passing through Savoy In April and in the early autumn it meets with heartless persecution, especially on Its return Inward the south, when tin* young birds are often much fatigued It occurs generally throughout Turkey and is fairly common in tl recce. It is met with occasionally in central Italy ami Sicily, and is plentiful in sonic parts of Andalusia, It is believed that on one of their migrations which took place a little after the middle of last century the white storks experienced some sort of catastrophe, ns they returned In great ly reduced numbers, and ever since then they have been considerably less numerous than before. The periods of migration with the storks are very regular. They arrive In central Ku rope generally between March I'.* and 25 nnd prepare to depart a about the end of August, llrst congregating in largo bands, which break up ns the udult individuals come and collect the young together to conduct them south ward. It appears that they migrate in large tlm-ks, flying mostly by night. The males and females, It is sup posed, migrate separately, the former undoubtedly arriving about a week heforo (lie latter to take charge of the old nest nr to settle on a favorable spot for nidltleaflon. Wherever the stork is met with In Europe, excepting in parts where Its occurrence Is tare, where It meets with the common fate of rarity, it Is protected. The peasants mostly hold It as sai red ami consider is as a sort of protector or house gml to the house on which It nests, and one will some times sell a m ^t to a neighbor to bring him luck, In w hich case the bird will discover the new situation of its uest ami continue to occupy H Kindly Folk. nilllngsgate Is one of the most po lite nml gentle mannered places In London, however strange Its Cockney talk may be. Here’s how kind the flsh porters are: A big porter who strolled through the market, whistling under his burden of fish, overtook a woman struggling with a heavy package. ** 'Ere you hare, hold dear," said lie. "Ill'll give you hay ’and,' and still balancing his lisli box ho caught up fhe woman's parcel as well. When the porter found his way barred it was not "Ho you ant fill the road?" that he shouted oi f, but, Do you mind making room lor* linn horphan?" or. “lty your leave, sir Thank you kind ly." "Do you think you can manage it, chummy ?" said one porter," or shall I take the big 'tin?" "IDs there hany chap ere 'o knows when' Jim s cart his'' 'E wants these quickly." And three porters, idle for the moment, sprang forward to show the speaker where to set down his load "1 like the big, strong Dillingsgate porters,’ said a young Scots woman, ■>. relative of a high official of the market. "I like their gentle voices and ways." '.Vim: Clemency. The blandishments of a drunk and disorderly" man won clemency front Magistrate Carey in the Eleventh and Winter Streets Police station the other morning The "Judge" never tines a man who Is "down and out" if he can avoid doing so This pris oner. however, had tried to use a couple of stalwart patrolmen to mop up Vine street and was due to pay a line or take the usujil ten days. lie interlarded Ills defense with terms liko "your worship," "your grace," "your excellency,” and other high sounding titles. "Who do you tliink 1 am?" asked Magistrate' Carey. "Nothing short of a bishop, judging from your kind heart and line face,” was the retort. "Get out and don't come back," was the verdict Phllade'.ihia Times New Year's Row.

MINES OF WEALTH IN PERU In Natural Resource* the Country I* Easily One of the Richest on the Globe. "Rich as Peru" la a commnn saying, but il Is none the less true The ori gin of tln> phrase dates back to the Spanish conquest of South America, when It was fondly believed that the Aztecs were all Croesuses. The tal i lac> was proven with the lives of In-| numerable Spanish adventurers, and the real wealth of Hie country was left j for another day and generation to dis cover Within the last few years the i Peruvians have awakened to the possl ( ldlltles of development of the re i sources of one of the most wealthy countries In the world in natural heri tage, and lliej are welcoming the friendly Influx of foreign capital with the same ardor exhibited by their an cestors in defeating a like Invasion. The first product thai one associates with the name of Peru Is guano, than which no more; powerful fertilizer and stimulator of vegetable life exists, Credit, for the discovery of the com mercial value of the Immense beds of guano that line I ho roekv shores of lhe South American republic Is given to Huron Humboldt. Prom bis lime to the present the ex [duration of these ornithological de posits has been going on steadily, and J now the richest beds are In danger of being exhausted. The government of late has controlled the Industry and given license's for working the beds from April to September. During (he rest of the year the Industry is pro hibited to allow replenishing by the penguin, seagulls and pelicans. The tight, of exportation Is now held by a big Hritlsh corporation. It Is estimated that more than 11, ono,non tons of tills modern Peruvian wealth have been exported since Us vulue was discovered by the great Her man scientist. The three Chlncha Islands are considered the richest of lho ancient beds, while Hobos de St. erra and Hobos de Afuero, off the north coast of Peru, have the most bountiful supply at present. Parental Stupidity. A small and pale-faced boy of 9 wnf brought Into court by his father, who complained that he could do nothing with the lad, who ran away, and had been brought home from six police stat tons. “Last week he took money out of hia mother's purse,” said the father. 'Oh' Hut his mother's purse is his own, we may almost say. The mother doesn't want to send her boy away for that? Is that the worst you have to say against him?" said tin1 judge. The Father, lie runs away from school Judge. "Well, what lioy doesn't?" " Hut lie does it frequently,” the father said. "Of course lie does," said (lie judge, 'these are the natural proclivities of the small boy of a certain Independ ence of character and enterprise. I really cannot come to your assistance. Here is a little fellow with the face and expression of a cherub. You must keep him in order by the simple force of example and Innate authority that a parent possesses over his child. Wouldn't you like to run away from something you didn't like?" The Father—“Yes, i should." Judge "Of course, we all should." ••Pretending.” Practical education is the fashion of the day. The hoy at school is con fronted will) facts Fancies which soften and beautify life are thought superfluous, and fairy isles are often banished from the nursery. Not long ago a lady walked into a village school and reprimanded a teneher for teling the babies there a lain story. Letters in the papers followed, and many agreed with the action of the 'visitor. To teach a child what was not "true" was said to tie unpardon ; able Nevertheless, to listen to stories which are not true and to play games of pretense is, and always will be, a part of the childish program. Go Into your own nursery, and Let us pretend" are the tirst words you hear. The nursery table is converted into a boat, the nursery floor is the ocean, the hoys the sailors and pirates, and the girls the maidens who are car ried off and eventually saved. That It is all pretense enhances (he joy of the whole thing. Before child ish eyes spreads a glorious world. Who could he so lthrd hearted as to dispel it" Bears in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania game laws bring the open season for killing hears to a close w ith rhi year, and the state game com missioner says that the hunting sea son of 1909 will go on record as one of the best in the history of the state. "Hears wete plentiful," lie says, "and l think that fully four hundred have been shot. In almost every one of the mountainous counties they were re ported abundant, and hunters secured some flue specimens. I do not think the closing of tin1 season with the year works a hardship on anyone. It gives tlie bears a chance, and as the season for other game is now closed, too, the wild creatures will not he dis turbed. -Utica Press Seasonable. Optimist (watching (lie dripping wa ter on the fringed edge of h s barn roof)—How beautiful! Pessimist—Huh. what's the use All that eavesdropping, and one can't catch a word" Optimist—Get out, you croaker.

K Some parents seem to be burden ed with the impression that it is * iisier for a teacher to learn the in trieate nature of each of a hundred and fifty children, and know just how to get each child to obey, than for those parents to understand two or three of their own and obtain obedi ence in an ideal way, it would contribute much to the ef forts for frank co-operation between parents and teacher if such parents could "step into the shoes" of the teacher for a while and try to meet the numerous problems of discipline that arise, to the best interests of the school. Hie pupil and the com munity itt general. Although the individual is tile priti eipa 1 consideration yet it should be remembered I hat in school, us iti the great world, when the rights of an individual interfere with the best in teresfs oi society, personal liberty must he curtailed. Ill tile interests of the school that belongs to the city and her children, let us have co-operation kindly, frank cooperation "If you like our show, tell others; if not, tell us." # * * Kails City is, and ought to be, proud of the High School basket ball teams. Not only have they won vic tories. hut they have Citly represent -1 ed our high school and the town. Aj bunch of hoys, as clean, gentlemanly j and every inch the true sportsman, I win or lose, are deserving of the J highest tribute of respect that can j be paid them. And the girls, genteel and ladies in the very best interpretation, of the name, would be a credit, to any high nriiKT school ot college, not only because tbc> arc ladles, but because they play t he game. It would be unfair to omit men tioning the tireless, energetic, enthus iastic and able manager tlie teams have had. Personal pleasure has stood second, loyally to the school hits prompted his actions. All Christ mas day he spent at tint tiresome duty of cleaning and preparing the "gym" for a game that was to fol low. and ail alone, while others feasted, .lean Cain has proven him self worthy of the place to which he was chosen. Ml in all, there never has boon,! and never Will be, two teams and a manager more worthy of the highest admiration of the '.whole school and: town We’re proud of the whole "bunch." >!» * * While we rejoice in our victories and standing'as basket ball teams, let us pause a moment and pay a silent tribute to those other tireless strag glers who have made the first Pams possible. Day after day I have watched them, fighting through the practice game with the small end of lie' score always theirs. No joy of victory, no cheer of friends, no praise, from the columns of the press, no hearty congratulations and yet, they have worked and behold what they have wrought! More, far more, than w'e’ve ever stopped to lliink, the second teams have won our victories. It’s easy enough to keep at it when tilings come your way, it would seem, but the fellow's all right if tie sticks to the fight when he's kept on the second team.—Orange and Black Some Editorial Comment (From OranKt' and lilack i As, In the words of Shakespeare, "What is Hie city lmt the people?" So, "What is the High School but tip* students?" Then, what reputa tion are we. as students, making for our High School? At home, ea :!i one of us have the privilege of lend ing our best efforts toward making for our beloved High School a ref utation to be proud of. In the neign boriug towns the responsibility >f holding up our standard falls upon tile shoulders of our basket ball teams and debating squad At this time, lilt* close of tile basket hall season we are proud to say that both of the teams have held up a standard worthy of any school. i lie debating squad is just beginning its season, having visited only one of our school milghors Nevertheless, tile same can he said of them as was said of tie basket ball teams Nit for one moment was the honor of th > school forgotten, nor for a moment wa the irust of the High School betray ed. Surely with Horace Mann we ran truly say of their conduct, "'t is well to think welt; it is divine to act well " * * n In reporting the basket bull Hip o Nebraska City. Mr. Hurst said, I wouldn't have missed that trip to N bra ska City for eight other trips.** He went on to give his reasons ‘or making the statement, chief anion which was the courteous treatment alien by both the team and the crowd. Although the Nebraska City girls had to take defeat they show «l their sterling characters by taking it like ladies without a single grumble. To further show their friendly feel ing toward us they gave the girls a reception whic h was certainly ap preciated. As a result of this and last year's encounter (which was also of the friendliest spirit) a lasting friendship lias sprung up, not only between the two teams, but also be tween the two High Schools. May the relationship between the two schools he always thus! * * * The result of the Stolla-Falls City debate need not. be given; we knew all the time wo would win We knew I if for two reasons. First, because | we were positive that our team had the right stuff in them: and second, because every member of the iligni school was hat king them, win nr. lose. W* knew the capabilb v | of each member of the team; ; we knew the tireless ener-1 gy put forth: we knew they could not fail. Furthermore, that, the Iliglij School was hacking them body ami soul, could not be doubted; never• would such an ovation as was given the team on departing be offered as false pretenses. This, the first de bate of the season goes down as t victory. As a result we are entitled to debate the whiner of the Hum boldt-Pawiiee City debate To keep on in Hie race for honors in the de bating league, ibis debate also must be won. To win it will not only re quire hard work on the part of ih>> squad, but also hacking by the] school. With the support of the school half the battle's won; for ihe other half (the preparation i we can justly count on the squad. Thus | students, you see it's up to us !o lend our ready support to gain this victory; and a victory it will surely i be it' we will but do our part _ Lec,s' Notice. E, S.
