ER IN AIRSHAFT
.Birds Cling Fearfully to Fire Escape
While 8parrow Hawk Hovers
Near.
A servant maid hi an apartment on
(be fourth floor of the Victoria, at
Riverside drive and Ninety-seventh
street, opened the kitchen window
Monday morning and wondered why
douns of spafrows that were hud-
dling on fire escape and window sill
Aid not take fright and scurry away.
Then she glanced onward and upward
Into the airshaft and discovered the
A sparrow hawk, sun glinting on its
wings, was wheeling rapidly high up
in Me airshaft, but .below the root
level. Occasionally, when the marau-
der’s keen eye glimpsed a sparrow
which hadn’t taken nefoge it darted
like a flash. Twice while the maid
watched the hawk made a captive and
soared out of the airshaft
The air pirate worked for about two
hours and disappeared shortly before
noon, but it was at least half an hour
later when the plump, brown spar-
rows recovered from the terror caused
by the hawk’s appearance.

GODS OF LOVE AND JEALOUSY
Sometimes Associated, but Not by
Any Means Inseparable, as Gen-
erally Supposed.
- 'The prevalent idea appears to be
that there can be no love without a
pretty large admixture of Jealousy,
and that conversely, almost every case
of jealousy springs from some mis-
guided love affair. Whether this idea
is the right one or not is decidedly
open to question. Ideal love affairs
preclude jealouqy altogether, and
where absolute trust and confidence
exist there is no room at all for the
green-eyed moeter.
One curious attribute of the Jealous
woman who plans to sweep her rivals
out of the way is that she generally
shows a marked lack of brains in her
methods. Jealousy not only blunts all
her finer feelings, bat at the same time
it causes a curious confusion of mind,
which fails to take the proper grasp
pf consequences and which is utterly
illogical and childishly reckless In its
workings.
One has only to glance at the dally
papers to see this fact practically illus-
trated. The schemes eft the jealous
woman are the most childishly imma-
ture In the world, and in almost every
case fall to pieces and bring speedy
retribution on her own head. For not
alone does the victim suffer. The worst
generally comes upon the plotter her-
self.
Love very often does bring a cer-
tain amount of jealousy in Its train.
But at the same time it is entirely np
to ourselves to curb those feelings and
to keep them from outward and visible
expression. Moreover, it is perfectly
true that, although love generally does
admit of Jealousy, the latter c^n exist
and flourish pretty successfully with-
out love.
Therefore in the last analysis we
may most assuredly claim that Jeal-
ousy and love are two distinct and
quite separate affairs.—Savannah
News. '
Two Boys, a Cow and Two Calves.,
Thjs is a short story of how two
Vermont hoys, still in their teens,
have made some real money on a thor-
oughbred Guernsey. They paid $200
for the animal- when she was two
years old. and as their father was a
banker and they were away to school
a farmer was induced to keep the ani-
mal for them. They, owned the cow
a little over'two years and daring that
time'she had two calves. The boys
found a ready market for the calves
and have Just sold the cow, the three
animals having been sold for $525.
The farmer charged them $125 for
keeping of the stock and other ex-
penses and the boys will net $100
apiece from the transaction. The boys
are quite satisfied with their invest-
ment and incidentally have become
somewhat interested in life upon a
Vermont farm.—Springfield (Vt) Re-
porter.
Haft Educated.
"It wouldn’t be a bad idea." said
the boy’s father, "if you did a little
work during your summer vacation.
You surely don’t need three whole
months to rest up after the little
work you did at college. When I was
your age I earned enough during the
•framer to pay my college expenses."
"Yes,” replied the boy. ‘‘and look at
the result You can’t play tennis at
all, yonr golf is a joke and you don’t
know as much about Ty Cobb’s bat-
ting average as the lowest paid office
boy In your establishment"—New

MOTHER OF

TeDs How Lydia E. Pinkham’a
Vegetable Compound Re-
stored Her Daugh-
ter’s Health.
Plover, Iowa. —“From a small child
my IS year old daughter had female
weakness. I spoke
to three doctors
about it and they did
not help her any.
Lydia £. Pinkh&m’s
Vegetable Com-
pound had been of
great benefit to me,
so I decided to have
her give it a trial.
She has taken five
bottles of the Vege-
table Compound ac-
cording to directions on the bottle and
she is cured of this trouble. She was
all run down when she started taking
the Compound and her periods did not
come right. She was so poorly and
weak that I often had to help her dress
herself, but now she is regular and is
growing strong and healthy.” — Mrs.
Martin Helvig, Plover, Iowa.
Hundreds of such letters expressing
gratitude for the good Lydia J3. Pink-
ham’s Vegetable Compound has accom-
plished are constantly being received,
proving the reliability of this grand old
remedy.
If you are ill do not drag along and
continue to suffer day in and day out but
at once take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege-
table Compound, a woman’s remedy for
woman’s ills.

To Protect a State’s Wards.
Insurance Commissioner Ekern of
Wisconsin has sent a letter to each
member of the legislature urging im-
mediate action to protect life and
property against the fire hazard in
the state charitable and penal insti-
tutions. A bureau recommended the
installation of sprinkler equipments,
especially in the hospitals for the in-
sane at Oshkosh and Mendota.
The commissioner said- it was
.cheaper to make improvements than
to pay fire losses and the families and
friends of the helpless inmates had a
right to ask that their lives be made
safe from the dangers of fire.

Amsterdam.—At the secret con-
ference of cabinet ministers, politi-
cal leaders and influential writers
called by the German imperial chan-
cellor before the reassembling of the
reichstag last Thursday to discuss
the political situation^ the Telegraaf
says, Karl Helfferich, secretary of
the treasury, explained that the new
German war loan would completely
exhaust the empire’s financial re-
sources and that the increase in ex-
checquer bonds would cause bank-
ruptcy. Therefore. Dr. Helfferich
argued, it was needful to prepare for
an honorable peace.
Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg,
according to the same report, de-
clared that the difficulties of the
empire were Increasing and advised
his hearhers to use their influence to
soften down bellicose inclinations in
the reichtag and the country, and
carefully prepare peace proposals
■which would be acceptable to the
four members of the entente.
Dr. Bamhard Dernberg’s report of
the failure of his mission in the
United States and other neutral
countries, the Telegraaf says, made
a strong impression on the confer-
ence.
General von Moltke, former chief
Of the German staff, declared that he
fully agreed with the chancellor and
added that only those not fully In-
formed on the situation could hope;
for the possibility of complete Rus-
sian defeat. -
Despite these declarations, the
story concludes, the meeting refused
to adopt a resolution advocating mod-
eration in the reichstag,- whereupon
the chancel’er declared that if ma-
jority in the reichstag should show
*n irreconcilably chauvinistic atti-
tude, he would be obliged to resign,
as he could not accept responsibility
for German’s disaster.
J r
Cl-iim German Swee^ Checked.
ondon.—The German version of the
Riga battle has not yet been given
put. but the definiteness of the offi-
cial report on the sinking Or crip-
pling of the German battle cruiser
Moltke. two other cruisers and eight
torpedo boats has sent a wave of en-
thusiasm throughout the country and
dispelled the depression over the
Russian retreat on land. Aside from
the loss of German ships, the naval
engagement is regarded chiefly im-
portant for the strategic effect upon
the, land operations in the German
swep k eastward toward Petrograd,
which military observers now eofl-
sider as having been checked and
possiblyV irreparably defeated. The
German Renter has passed forward
steadily tlntil Prince Leopold of Ba-
varia is near the Russian new line
of defense.'
The. capture by the Germane of the
fortress of Ossowetz gives them an-
other stronghold, only Grodno and
Brest-TJtovsk Temhinlng in the cen-
tral section. . It also gives them the
main point on the railway to Bielsh
and Brest-Litovsk.

dren. Millions of people are using

What Peons Believe.
Just as the religion of the Mexican
peon causes him to people his daily
surroundings with the presence of the
saints, so does his superstitious mind
assign supernatural causes to things
not easily explained, and bid him see
evil spirits and hobgoblins in strange
or unfrequented places. /
Naturally, much of this superstition
has come down with the traditions of
his Aztec forbears, whose polytheis-
tic religion set up many imaginary
gods and spirits.
The devil and his attendant hobgob-
lins are active people in this people’s
minds.
But—happy tribute to the strength
of Christianity!—the sign of the cross
is potent to banish imaginary fiends on
all ordinary occasions.

Great Man Didn’t Scare.
A student once tried to frighten
Cuvier, the great naturalisL and suc-
ceeded only in giving the wise man a
curious way of showing his knowledge
of living things. The student dressed
up as a terrible animal and crept into
the professor’s bedroom one nighL
“Cuvier," he cried, in a hollow voice.
“Cuvier, I’ve come to eat you!”
The* naturalist peered at him and im-
mediately broke into a laugh.
“What, horns and hoofs—graminiv-
orous—you can’t,” he said.
He saw that the supposed monster
had hoofs and horns and he knew that
such animals eat grain and grasses
and not flesh. So he was not in the
least afraid of being eaten.
