Real book ' lovers are likely to own
, fc ! few books' that they especially treas
f ure. If these be bound worthily in
handsome leather ; it is not being too
fussy to'make a little chamois case or
light box for each one to protect it
from ; , the chance knocks and scratches
that mar ' the beauty of the leather. It is
true that the best binding is one that ,
like the old white vellum , is durable ,
I cleanable , attractive and serviceable ;
but not all bindings can be left unpro-
tected , and If Alexander the Great be-
lieved nothing better worthy of a place
In the jeweled casket of Darius than
his copy of Homer's Iliad , even the
most manly boy need not be ashamed
to provide a safe-keeping wrapper for
his dainty books.-St. Nicholas.

Bird's Construct Prisons.
Among the hprnbills of Southern Asia
the Malayan Island and Central and
Southern Africa most of the species
have a curious habit of hatching their
young in the walled-up hollow of the
tree chosen for the nest , says the Sci -
entific American. The birds have im
mense bills and horny crests.
The mother bird is walled up by her
mate and remains Imprisoned until the
eggs are hatched , and in some species
until tbe youngs birds are able to fly.
Meanwhile the mother has become tem-
porarily incapable of flight , as she has ,
moulted , or at least shed all her wing
feathers ' during her captivity. But the
male is indefatigable : in providing for
liis family : , ' and is said to work so hard
that be is'-reduced almost to a skeleton
at the end of the brooding season.
According to " the theory of many na
tives the female is imprisoned to pre-
vent , her neglecting her duty of brood-
Ing , and if she has been unfaithful or
negligent her mate closes the little
window of her cell and abandons her
to a painful death by suffocation.
' "
' 'The true story , perhaps , is . this : The
female walls herself in so that she can-
not fall from the nest after losing her
:
feathers , and also to protect herself
from enemies. This version is less
poetical than the other , but it is prob-
ably nearer the truth. It is supported
by statement that the female liberates
1' herself as soon as the young birds are
well grown , so that her prison is less
' r . formidable than It appears.

.AD WOLGAST OJ { A TvIPION.
Defeat of Battling Nelson Brings
Him Liglit-Weight Title.
Battling Nelson ; is not the durablt
Dane any more. The conqueror of Joe
Gan was forced to relinquish his hold
on the lightweight boxing champion
ship in forty rounds to Ad Wolgast of
Milwaukee ; at Point Richmond , Cal.
Nelson was not counted. a out. , , but prob
ably would have been in that session
had not Referee Smith called a halt
and awarded the fight and title to Wol
gast. When the battle was stopped the
Dane was in a pitiable condition. One
of his eyes were completely closed and
the other parts of his face were swol
len to twice their size. Besides he was
tottering around the ring too weak to
held up his hands. This was the first
time that Nelson , since he sprang into
the limelight in 1903 by beating Geo.
Mcnisic in Milwaukee , was beaten to a
standstill at his own game of slugging.
He met his master at the identical
style which won him the lightweight
championship of the world and alsc
made him famous.
Wolgast's victory was complete and
decisive. Had Referee Smith not stop
ped the contest and it had gone the
limit he would have been given the
verdict. He had the better of nearly
every round and during the course ol
the forty rounds struck probably five
blows to Nelson's three in every ses-
sion. Wolgast has been fighting exact
ly four years . , having entered the game
in 1906 in Cadillac , Mich. , where he < :
was born Feb. 8 , 18SS.

8200,000 BONDS ON S720 PLANT.
llliiioi.Nan's Suit in Imiini Reveals
Gas Company's ; Holding.
The suit of D. E. Brooks , of Illinois ,
to prevent the disposal of land which
he deeded in connection with the pur-
chase of $75,000 of bonds issued by
the Rushville Gas , Heat and Water
Company , has developed some sensa-
tional facts in respect to that corpora-
tion. It has been found that the total
holdings of the company are worth not
to exceed $720 , yet on the plant of this
alleged value it issued $200,000 of
bonds and sold $75,000 of the issue to
Brooks , taking in exchange real estate
in Chicago and some farm lands in
Illinois. The corporation was formed
with Owen L. Carr as president and
Fred : Carroll and John and Henry Wal
ters as directors. Bonds were issued
and a mortgage covering the $720 gas
plant in favor of the Farmers' Bank of"
Rushville for $100,000 was made. The
Farmers' Bank became merely the pay-
er of the interest. Brooks bought
$75,000 of these bonds on the supposi
tion that the - bank was the trustee.
He now wants the court to prevent the
sale of the property he traded.

ance by throwins : . . . stones and other mis-
siles. Many were wounded' both
