President Roosevelt deplored the number of married couples, who had "nothing running around the yard but a fence. ' , And yet, with all the !>etty burglaries that are happening on all the refrigerators up and down the town, u good strong fence, with a good loUd dog is exactly what everybody needs. Fences keep your own dog at home, and prowlers out. Placed now, a wire fence planted with. young vines will be a thing of great beauty in a few ' months. Bums and Barrett have " some fine fence material, and screening and substantial locks, in case you want to be forearmed. ' And while you're planting, get a light-weight grab-rake and spade from them -put a plant by each post and watch them grow. r *' Speaking of dogs, a lazy, sick clog is no good as a watchman of the night.

Crow Understands Human Nature (Hobeyt Sparks Walker in "Our Dumb Animals") ^ Because ho i* not finicky in the choice of his food, people say that ho is a glutton. Be that as it may, he is ever suspicious of the motives of mankind. Wise, shrewd, thrifty, courageous, considerate of ins family, loyal to his tribe, all those describe his character, and how can it be said of him that he Is a bad bird? Ten years ago, I tried to assist a movie-camera man to film the crow's behavior about the common roosting place; and today we are as far from our objective as we were the day we ventured into his roosting quarters. | We concealed ourselves in a dense thicket of pines in which thousands of crows were wont to roost, and when the first black fellow came in, he spied us before he alighted. After a few unsavory accusations directed at us, he hurried away and met the incoming band and notified them of our presence in their camp, and other couriers were dispatched. As a result of this rapid precaution, not a single crow came into the thicket, but all of them moved o.n to other forest trees out of our reach. Do you doubt that a crow reasons? Then by ali means secure a young crow and raise him in your home. The crow i? such a thrifty bird and his appetite can be satisfied with such a great variety of food that he does not find it necessary to migrate, like many of his other less hardy neighbors. 1 was born and hnve lived for nqmy years among the crows, and I have never found them guilty of committing half the crow-crimes of which they are accused. The best way to determine a bird's worth is by examining its stomach Such an examination has been made of many crows. Out of 1,340 stomach's of adult crows, and 778 nestlings collected from forty states, it has been found that about twentyeight per cent of a crow's diet is composed of animal matter, and a fifth of his entire diet is made of the most destructive insect pests known to the farmer. In the stomach of one crow examined in the month of May. was foun<j eighty-five May beetles; another stomach contained seventy-two wire worms; while a third stomach contained a hundred and twenty-three harmful grasshopI pers. A crow caught in the North I had devoured -183 small caterpillars, and a'bvoocl of four young crows : were found to have eaten 118 grass; hopper.; a few hour- helore examin| at ion.

Willie Wood, the negro who was sUot last week while resisting Officers Haley and Hush, escaped from the hospital early Sunday morning, where he was being treated for wounds it) the hands and groin. About the same hour Sunday morning a burglar entered the home of Mr. W. Sheorn and got away with several pairs of trousers, one of which contained $2.50 in cush. Another pair of trousers were found in the yard, Where the thief dropped them. Barefoot tracks where he escaped from the hospital tallied with tracks found in the Sheorn yard. Officers have been trying to connect Wood with the burglary, but so far have been unable to find the stolen clothing. Wood was recaptured Monday afternoon at the house of Ed James, near the overhead bridge of the Seaboard railway. . When he escaped | from the hospital Wood was wearing' a bath-robe, but the officers have been unable to find out where he changed , clothes. The capture was made by Officers Hilton.
