There is hardly a single group ot
Inserts which doos not suffer from the
appetite of one or more species of
birds The eggs and larvao are dug
and pried out of their burrows in the
wood by woodpeckers and creepers;
those underground ar* scratched and
clawed up to view by quail, partridges
and many sparrows; warblers and
vlreos scan every !nf and twig. Fly-
catcher*. like the cat family of mam-
mals. lie in Nvait and surprise the In-
sects on the wing, more particularly
those flying near the ground, while
swifts, swallows and martins glean a
harvest from the host of high flying
insects When vnc think of humming
birds are taking dainty sips of honey
from the flowers, they are in reality
more often snatching minute spiders
and flies from the deep nips of the
calyxes. When night falls the Insects,
wiiich have chosen that time as the
safer to carry 011 the business of act-
1 ire life, are pounced on by crepuscular
feathered beings; the cavernous
mouths of whip-poor wills engulf theoa
as they rise from their hiding place*,
and the bristles of nighthawks bruali
them into no less rapacious maws if,
perchance, they have succeeded \m
reaching the upper air—New York
yost.
ADVICE FROM "HER FATHER."
Not Calculated to Cheer the Would Ba
Benedict.
A friend of the writer, who mar*
vte'1 l woman with a temper of her
own tells an amusing story at her
expense. They have been married for
about two years, and as despite her
iinpei iousness they have got along
yery well, she smiles when the story
is repeated.
After courting for some time the
young man summoned up courage to
put the momentous question, lie was
duly accepted, but a hint was* thrown
out that he should see her father. He
readily agreed, and one evening
called to talk the matter over with
her parent.
When the matter had been arranged
the father said:
"Well, young man, if you want to
marry my daughter you must lirst get
your life insured in her favor."
"Certainly," answered the would-be
benedict, pleased to find the father so
solicitous for the girl's future
"Which company would you recom-
mend?"
"I would recommend none, sir," wa^
the answer, "but," he added, as his
daughter's bursts of temper came to
his mind, "you had better choose
some pay-all-claims company. They
allow suicide."

The baseball game yesterday be-
tween Anadarko and El Reno resulted
in a victory tor El Reno by a score of
9 to 7. Both teams played nice clean
ball which was v;-ry much enjoyed by
the enthusiastic crowd. Both teams
were handicapped by the foxy would-
be rooters, who would not stay back,
of the ropes. Many a mis-throw and
bad play was made 011 that account.
The Anadarko boys hail the better
team practice which was evidenced vlnr-
