A NEW SOURCE OF HARDWOOD Junco , Grown In Valley of Rio Grande , Will Class With Ebony. Washington , June 27. The junco is the missing link of the tree family. Restricted to a single valley , that of the Rio Grande , In Mexico and Texas , this tree , with Its small crooked trunk bristling with thorns , Is little known to the outside world. It Is popularly sup posed to bear no leaves , flowers , or fruit , but It really bears all three. The minute leaves are scale-like , the flowers very small , and the fruit Is a tiny berry. The junco , so far as Is known , has always lived In ono place and has always been the same dwarfed , crooked tree that It now Is. Except as fuel , It has' not been put to any use. Thousands of cords might bo cut In the valley of the Rio Grande , In Mexico and Texas. Of late , how ever , the growing scarcity of hard wood has called attention to the de spised junco tree as a possible sub stitute for some of the more popular woods , and the result Is a surprise to those who thought the wood had no commercial value. Clarence A. Miller , consul at Matamoras , Mexico , has called the attention of thls'govcrnment to the good qualities claimed for It. The wood sinks In water. In color it ranges from brown to black. It receives a high and beautiful polish , fitting It to take the place of such expensive woods as ebony and rose wood for small cabinet work. The trunks are so short and crooked that only small pieces of timber can be ob tained from them. Few trunks exceed seven feet in length and eight Inches In diameter. The wood Is said to be admirably suited for the keys of musi cal Instruments , jewel boxes and other bureau cabinets , chess men , checkers , paper knives , knobs nnd other small turnery , Inlaid work , and Indeed for almost all purposes for which costly foreign woods , in small pieces , are new used. BUILD MILWAUKEE ENGINES. Shops Are Working Full Force , TurnIng - Ing Out New Locomotives. That the return of normal condi tions , so far as the construction of railway equipment Is concerned , Is at hand , Is evidenced by the following announcement recently made regarding the new orders given at the West Milwaukee car shops of the Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Paul railway : "A. E. Manchester , superintendent of motive power of the Milwaukee & St. Paul at Milwaukee , has received orders from headquarters to begin at once the construction of seventy lo comotives of the highest type. This order means an outlay of $1,100,000 nnd will result in restoring to em ployment at the West Milwaukee shops of that company the full force of 5,000 men. " The seventy engines above men tioned are of the Prairie typo and will be used exclusively for freight son-ice on the new line to the Pacific coast west of the Missouri river/ In addition to these engines , work has been started at these shops on twenty freight engines of the Mikado typo , as well as on thirty-five switch engines and 8,500 steel underframo freight cars , including 1,000 41-foot steel underframo box cars and 2,500 stock cars. Ten locomotives per month are turned out at the West Milwaukee shops. These new orders mean a total expenditure of over 14,000,000 , and will make It necessary to employ the full force of 5,000 men usually employed at the shops. With the great amount of regular repair work and construction of now passenger and freight equipment for use on this rail way , exclusive of the Pacific coast line , the West Milwaukee shops will be working full force during the greater part of the current year. A store's advertising Is a part of It's "public service. " It saves the time of the shopper , and promotes thrift and carefulness in buying. a D. SALTER FINDS NORFOLK HAS MORE SONG BIRDS. GOSSIP IN NORFOLK BIRD LAND Year Shows Increase In Song Birds Nesting In Norfolk Wrens That Eat And Drink From Mr. Salter'a Hand. "There IH a marked Increase over previous years In the number of song birds In nnd nlxnit Norfolk this year. " So G. H. Snltcr , who Is an authority 'on birds and their habits and who IH , Incltlcntly n member of the Ne braska Ornithology Union , says : "This Increase , " Mr. Sailer continued , "Is due to the growth of our shade trees and the attention given the birds by many of our citizens In providing nesting places and protecting from Ignorant boys and domestic cats. The greatest enemy to our song birds is the domestic cat. The cat , not being properly fed at home , begins to prey upon the helpless birds and will In a short time kill an exceedingly large number of them. I wish every citizen of this city would take an Interest In the welfare of birds and do what he can toward their protection as they contribute largely toward the benefit of humanity. " Mr. Salter has awakened of a mornIng - Ing and looking from his bedroom window has recognized six different species of birds , while within hearing distance he could distinguish the calls of several others. He takes great delight - light In watching the birds build their nests and , with his guide book and field glass , can readily classify most of the birds of this community. He finds the most Interesting bird to be the x"chlck-n-dee , " which makes a sound like "Pee-wee" when calling its mate. They con bo watched In both winter and summer and their nests easily found In the larger trees. On the porch of Mr. Sailer's home is the nest of two wrens , which , through the kind treatment of their host , have become tame. He can feed nnd water them from his hand. Ho has often watched the birds bathing while he was watering the lawn , and noted with Interest how clean they kept themselves. The Veery or Wilson thrush Is ono of the choicest birds known. It has a wired , plantlve call which can bo heard toward evening. It builds Its nest on the ground among the leaves , In hemlocks or In tangled masses of brier. Birds' food consists mainly of In sects , bugs , and worms. Their eating seems to be abnormal. An Incident Illustrates this. Some bronze grackles - les which made their home In one of Mr. Friday's trees , flew to Mr. Sailer's yard one morning and devoured from sixty to seventy grub worms In the few moments they were being watched. The blue jay Is a pretty bird but Is an enemy to most of the others , be cause It preys upon their eggs. At the corner of Ninth street and Koenlgsteln avenue in Mr. Valentine's yard , a bird built a peculiar nest within arm's reach of one standing on the porch. No one seemed familiar with the specie of the bird , so Mr. Salter was called and he identified it as a "Vireo. " This bird builds a pendant nest , slmlliar to the Baltimore oriole. It Is well woven and often composed of thirteen or fourteen hundred pieces of materials. It takes the birds about three days to build such a nest. These particular birds were watched closely , but their nest must have been dis turbed for they soon left. No bird will remain where Its nest has been touched In any way. The bird that Is apparently useless and a great pest Is the English spar row , which Is multiplying rapidly. Their food consists mainly of grain. They should be exterminated and the only conceivable manner to accomplish this , Mr. Salter says , la by the con centrated efforts of the citizens to prevent their building nests on. their premises. There are four hundred species of birds in the state , most of which can bo found In or about Norfolk. This state has such a variety on account of Its central location. Mr. Salter sincerely hopes that the citizens of this city will encourage the song birds by permitting them to nest In and about their yards , unmo lested. The following Is a list of the moro common birds which frequent this vicinity : Ring-billed gull , blue winded teal , green heron , solitary sand piper , bob white , dove , blue jay , swamp sparrow , towhee , cardinal , dlckclssel , grosbeak , vlreo , lark , grackle , oriole , king bird , goldfinch , sparrow , black bird , crow , cow bird thrush , wren , cat bird nnd blue bird.

White , candidate for governor on the democratic ticket , went Into a barber shop for a shave this morning , the tonsorlal artist whisking a towel under Mr. White's chin whiskers , thought he saw.an opportunity for some fun at the expense of the rural appearing customer he was about to operate upon. Mr. White's tanned countenance and bleached beard show evidence of con tact with the wind nnd sun of the field and he appears exactly what he is an agriculturist. "Say , uncle , how's the roads ? " asked the barber , adopting a nasal twang , after the manner of the average stage comedian who plays Uncle Josh Whit- comb. " I believe they are all right , " re plied Mr. White courteously. "Any chance for th' crop o * corn , d'ye think ? " pursued the barber. "Mtich more than there Is for you to become a humorist , " returned Mr. White pleasantly. The barber hesitated and then stepped over to a brother razor wlelder who had been a wig-wagging him. "Shut up , you chump. That's the democratic governor , " he said.

DR. C. W. RAY DELIVERS SERMON Methodist Pastor Preaches to Mem bers of Mosaic Lodge on Friend ship with God , with Country and with Neighbors. St. Johns' day , the first day In the Masonic calendar , was observed Sun day by the iiKMiibors of Mosaic lodge attending service nt the Methodist church , where Dr. C. W. Ray de livered a special sermon. The Master Musons , clad In the regalia of their order , marched to the church In a body. Dr. Ray's subject was "Tho Clrclo of Great Friends. " Ho said In part : "I am glad to welcome you ns members of the order of the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons hero for this service In observing St. Johns' day. I hope this subject will bo of help and Inspiration to every ono In worshiping and serving God hereafter. "There are some people who are forever making friends and forever losing them. I consider the making of a friend a great achievement , for It Is an eternal and everlasting Inheri tance. It Is greater to make a friend than was the battle of Waterloo or Gettysburg ; for these were conquests of one enemy against another but this Is the linking of two souls In one great bond. "True friends look out from human nature , the blue sky and beyond the starry sky to a happy meeting as ex pressed in tlio sacrifice of Ion , the death devoted Greek. When about to yield his life ns an offering to fate his beloved Clemanthe asked If they should not meet again and ho nns' wercd , 'I have asked that dreadful question of the hills that look eternal , of the streams that flow forever , of the stars among whoso fields of azure my raised spirit walked In glory ; all were dumb. Yet while I gaze upon thy face there Is a love that mantles then Its beauty that cannot wholly perish. We shall meet again , Clem anthe. ' "Thousands are looking for true friends today ; those who will not sell out , betray or forsake when they are needed but who will bo true , strong , mighty and Godly. How much such true men nnd women are needed to day ns leaders In clubs , societies , lodges nnd churches. "Here Is the secret of a great friendship : 'And there went with him a band of men whose hearts God had touched. ' Friendship with the dis honest , Impure , fickle and unchaste will fall you in the hour of great need. If there are people in a club , lodge or church who are enemies to each other , these always cause trouble sooner or later. "I believe friendships are made in heaven. "It Is a great thing to have a coun try for a friend and carry a passport with you in a country like Turkey or Russia and know that your country demands for you protection and safety. I know the value of this my self for I saw people denied the rights I enjoyed in Turkey last year be cause I had a passport and they had none. "So It Is when you have God as your friend when your soul passes out into eternity It will be beset by many evil spirits but if you are God's friend then all the hosts of haven will be sent to protect you. That your circle of friends be complete you must admit God , the father , and Christ , the son. And If you Masons do this you have the promise of God's eternal blessings. "What are the conditions to this ? First , we are to accept the divine truths of God as a part of our dally practice. It must be the foundation or the building crumbles and falls away. "Then there Is fortitude , for often we must endure and suffer for our friends. It is God-like so to do. "Then there Is that love which reaches out and considers the human race one great family and which be- lives that we owe a duty to each member of it , to support and help , to try to make each life better and hap pier. "We must be temperate ; the con duct must be controlled by the spirit of God. Many a man and woman have gone down to shame and disgrace through Intemperance. Wo must be temperate In all affairs. "There Is the virtue of prudence ; the performance of right relations with all people and the full discharge of every Christian duty. We must ever remember that Justice hangs over us , that every deed and act of ours tips the balanced scales cither towards good or bad. "As you look at the hour glass and see the sands dropping through , you are reminded thnt life is dropping into eternity. For the three stages soon pass and youth , manhood nnd old ngo Is the ever repeated story of human life. "As Masons you owe a duty to God , your neighbors and yourselves ; so then be brave and loyal to perform your duties as God has revealed them to you. In parting I pray God to make you all loyal Christians every day of jour earthly pilgrimage. " The services were marked by special music. Real Estate Transfers.

TRAMPS TAKEJJREAT CHANCES They Dive Into the Undergear of Trains at High Speed. Tlio ordinary tramp will take chances on his life In dropping in under n car , upon the bumpers , that make the hair on most railroad men's heads stand straight up. Speed has no terrors for these dare-devils. They will without wincing Jump Into the undergear of a train moving at speed so high that a trained and veteran railroad man wouldn't even think of Jumping on at the rear end of the caboose. "You can't keep them off , " said an old time Norfolk conductor. "They will stand around until after the train starts and then , even when It gets up such high speed as to be dangerous to think of catching on the way car steps , will swing easily and uncon cernedly Into the Iron underwork of the car , as though they were merely lying down in their downy cots at night for a comfortable rest. "The tramps become such experts at this train-climbing game as to amaze old-time trainmen. You will see a tramp lunge Into the gearing of a car , moving at high speed , just as an acrobat bat in the circus dives through the air from one trapeze to another.
