Well, this is ‘•straw hat'’ day. Toss away the old felt, get the sa'lor or the Panama down, look ’em over and then go down to the clothing store ami pick out a new one. Under the rule of good style, you can now wear the straw whether it sleets or snows and whether the temperature is ninety above or ten below freezing. We ire great for style in this country and yon just above have to find a straw hat. Why put it off? It is sa <1 that several of the prominent citizens of Fort Wayne who have kept elaborate wine cellars, have dumped the "wet goods" rather than take a chance with the Wright lame dry law. now in effect. You possibly don’t agree with the now law and you wonder how it was put over but the sou-oi’-a-gun has teeth and few who understand it or give it serious thought, will want to fool with it.

'PITY IN BIRD Lift RARELY DISPLAYED Feathered Creaturee, When Hurt, Left to Die Alone. ; "There la not much syuiputliy tu be found In wild nature. If a bird iin>'t* with n mishap It I* usually left to act over it without uny assistaace from it.-* ' companions. When a bird Is tnken 111 and expects to die you will not find its mate standing by to console with it. but Hie suffering creature will Just slink away to a place of hiding in I which to meet the end, while Hie bird i which is left will very soon find a new companion. But I have come across a i few instances where sympathy was shown. When birds are muted after a ! short courtship the male is most attentive to his newly won wife uml will almost starve himself to offer tlVbits to her," writes Oliver G. Pike in the London Mail. “The beautiful male bullfinch is one of the best of husbands. A pair of these birds attempted to nest in my garden last spring. The first nest came to an untimely end and a second was built. When this contained young almost ready to fly I heard the two parents calling out in great distress. 1 hurriedly climbed up the steep bank leading to the nest in a thick hedge, but I was just too late, for a stoat dashed from the nest und disappeared in the thick undergrowth. Three of the young had been eaten, the < fourth was dead outside the nest. i “For days afterward the hen bull- , finch sat on twigs in the garden look- < ing most disconsolate, and it "as rather beautiful to see the male oiler her choice morsels, which he continually searched for. It seemed as if lie was doing his best to cheer her up, and J it gave me much pleasure when I ■ found out that he had succeeded. I or at the end of the week they began a t third nest, and witir'Thls they were ; successful in re'aring a family. "It is only natural, however, for a J bird to assist its mate during the time . of courtship. It is in the winter , months, when each bird has to fight its • own battle in the grim search for food, that sympathy is rare. I have known I only one instance of this. "In my garden there was a large , dog kennel with a flat roof. During , the winter months the tablelike top . was utilized as a larder for Hie birds. Many kinds visited us anil jt was seldom that Hie table was unoccupied. 1 One morning a new visitor appeared < and she was a cripple. This great tit • had one leg missing and she had some ; trouble in balancing tier body as she ; picked up the food. , “The sparrows, for some reason, objected to tlie presence of this injured bird and drove her off. She made ‘ many attempts to obtain a meal, Imt the others prevented her. "The next morning she brought witli her another great tit ami again the i sparrows tried to drive her away. In ( a flash tfae second great tit set about ( them, fought the whole flock and kept ( the board clear while the crippled bin! obtained a good meal. On each succeeding visit this birdland knight accompanied her, and such respect did the sparrows have for his fighting powers that she afterward obtained her food in peace.” Lifted by Toy Balloons On a recent visit to London Lady Poynter, author of travel books, met the old lady who sells balloons at the entrance to Kensington gardens, to bring joy to childhood. She said to Lady Poynter: "I am the old woman Barrie told the world about in 'Peter Pan,’ who was nearly carried off by her balloons. Maggie Leary, the old apple woman, who sold apples for forty years by this gate, bad to catch me by the hapdle of tier umbrella, or 1 should have blown away. Lots of people have taken my photograph, ami one man paid me half a crown for it. This has been the worst year I’ve had, but tilings are picking up. Maggie was here for forty years and I've been hero for nineteen.” < Evidently she enjoyed her celebrity, for she asked, “When will you come back and photograph me?” —Japan Advertiser. Shows Value of Flattery Speaking of police, the female of the species occasionally comes in for Its share of responsibility to the jokesmiths. The following yarn hails from the beginnings of the lady-police era : One of the newly appointed police women’ saw a carman treating ills horse roughly. She went up to him and after remonstrating with him, demanded bis name and address. 1 “Lord, miss,” said the man with a commiserating smile; “if I was to tell you, it would go out of that pretty head of yours before you got to the next corner.’” | Then he drove off, leaving the policewoman torn between conflicting emotions of neglected - duties and gratified vanity San Francisco Argonaut Lizard Far From Home An Australian bearded lizard (not a lounge lizard either) was recently found sunning itself on tlie railwaytrack near Plalstow, near London, England. As the locality is In the dock area, it Is supposed that the mysterious stranger landed there as a stow-1 away and was engaged on a tour of exploration It has. beneath the ‘chin a fold of skin which, unnoticeablc when tlie reptile is in repose, can be expanded into a conspicuous bristly; frill, suggestive of a beard, for the purpose of frightening enemies. If this fails, it has a very effective weapon j in its spiny tail, with which It can’ inflict serious wounds.
