BIRD IS VARIOUSLY PERSECUTED
AND PROTECTED

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

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

“lty your leave, sir Thank you kind

it, chummy ?" said one porter," or shall
I take the big 'tin?" "IDs there hany

three porters, idle for the moment,
sprang forward to show the speaker
where to set down his load "1 like

said a young Scots woman, ■>. relative
of a high official of the market. "I
like their gentle voices and ways."

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

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

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.

many agreed with the action of the
'visitor. To teach a child what was

As the Faculty Sees It
Dy E. 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

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

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

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

lend our ready support to gain this
victory; and a victory it will surely
i be it' we will but do our part
