Tb history ot three llttl ilatcn who
llr utt Madlsonvill. bu bm lntereet-
tn( not only to the people of the com-
munlty In which ther live but even to
the people of other oommunltiee and'
counties. The adrent ot these little glrle
added three members to the home of
their parents on the same day ot the
same year. And ever since the 2U day
of September 1898 the career ot theee
little sisters has been eagerly wn toned
by all the people of the community as
they srew In health and else and beauty
under the care ot their lovlni and) pains-
taking mother.
While theee little girls are only I years
and a tew months old the Indications
are favorable for a long life of health
tor them. Two of them have had good
health all their lives and have been sick
only a few times But the other one had
but little chance for life for -several
months at first. And to keep this little
tot In ibe family and one ot the triplets
the parents and brothers and sisters had
to care for her faithfully and tenderly
both by way and by night. The demand
en the instinct and love of motherhood
to nurse this little weakling Into health
and strength was so great that It perma-
nently Injured her health. But never-
theless she only rejoices In the fact that
she could give a part of her own health
to save the life of her little Jewel. Henae
Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Gunter are still the
happy parents of a set ot bright and
beautiful triplets. The names of the
sisters are Minnie Winnie and Linnie
Gunter.
ALL WElTTfORMED.
These little girls are not dwarfs or
ewlndllngs in any way. Two of them
weigh forty pounds each and the other
one weighs thirty-seven pounds. As you
look at them you see no marked dissim-
ilarity from other children. They are
Krfectly developed physically and Intel-
tually. Their bodies are plump and
erect their faces are round and rosy
and their eyes are bright and expressive.
In fact they now have every Indication
t health and every mark of Intelligence.
All three of the little sisters are de-
cided brunettes. They have dark brown
eyes all about the same hue. Their hair
Is dark brown and inclined to ourl. Two
of them have hair very much alike in
color but the other one Is a little shade
darker. There Is not very much resem-
blance between them In appearance; each
seems to have her own expression and
personality.
Minnie Winnie and Llnnlo are well
known by the people of their community
and are attractive little pets to all who
know them. Because nf the unique his-
tory attached to their Uvea they are quite
a show when they appear before the
people. They are gased at and fondled
and are often the recipients of many nice
little presents. While only mere children
Set their beautiful and becoming conduct
i so attractive that It Is a great addi-
tion to the Interest created by their birth
relation. Not only have they been seen
by the people who live near them but
they have been taken to public assem-
blies In other counties and were Indeed
objects of Interest and admiration. There-
fore many people of adjoining counties
ran tell you an interesting story about
Mrs. Ounter's little girl triplets. Many
letters also have come from different
narta of the State making Inquiries about
their lives and sending special requests
fur their pictures.
' THEIR CHARACTERISTICS.
The characteristics peculiar to each
with an ordinary fife or flute the teach
er sits down beside the cages in which
the birds are Soused ana plays tne first
bars of the tune that at la deal red th
birds shculd learn. It la usual for a
girl to be employed for this work as
he possesses more patience than a man
and the work la better suited to her tem
perament. It may lie hours before tne
bird will take the least notice of the
player. The girl must keep on playing
until the little songster's attention la
attracted. Over and over the few bars
of tr.t'slc are repeated with monotonoua
regularity sometimes It Is necessary to
play the same strain fee aaye before the
birds will show the slightest Interest
in the efforts to make them up-to-date
warblera. Sooner or later however they
will aaaken to the fact that some song
foreign to tbelr ears Is being plsyed
near by. At first a gentle cocking of
the head In the direction of the sound
will betray the awakening. Thus encour
aged the teacher plays with added en-
The patience required for such work
may be lmnglned when It la known that
even after seeming to take an Interest
In the flute player's attempt to educate
them the birds will frequently lapse Into
dull Indifference and give no further
sign for a long time. There comes a mo-
ment at last when the bird seems- really
to shake off Its apathy and hop nearer
to the sound ot the flute as though
prompted by quickened curiosity. Soon
after that It will remain still Its senses
seemingly concentrated on the song. Then
it win oegin to sing it is time tor tne
teacher to rest then and closely watch
the bird's attempt to Imitate the notes
that have become rsmiuar by such pa-
tient repetition. The chancea are that
the bird will at first sound two or three
notro correctly and -then stop quite at
a loss for the rest. The teacher prompts
ine little songster Dy playing the bar
through. The bird tries once more and
this time perhaps warbles the bar correctly.

MRS. OUNTER'S-MOTHERHOOD.
Mrs. Ounter. the mother of the triplets
has made an Interesting record of mother
hood during ths eighteen years of her
married life. She Is the mother of twelve
children ten of whom are living today.
Of the twelve children there are two sets
of twins and one set of triplets.' The
mother of the children has not been In
good health In several years yet shs Is
able to care for them phsleally and moral-
ly and to watch over every part of the
home. Especially will the lives rnd for-
tunes of these triplets be watched as
they grow Into maidenhood and woman-
hood. BIRDS LEARN SONG TUNES.
Can Pick Up Certain Simple Mel-
odies if Taught While Young.
(From ths New Tor Tribune.)
The crass for change seems at last
about to affect the very birds of the
air. No longer la a restless publio satis-
fied with the sweet strains that nature
provides as the voice of the feathered
songster. The up-to-date bird must be
able to warble bars from such melo-
dies as "Hiawatha" "Bedella" or other
musical Inanities that attain passing
popularity. A bird educated thus oan be
sold for ten times as much as one that
merely trills Its own song so that deal-
ers are striving to make their befeathered
stock accomplished In singing accord-
ing to ths new Idea of what a biro
should be able to do. It Is a slow process
but It pays.

DIFFICULTIES
Special difficulties which have disturbed
missionary activity or which have tended
to block progress have been the Boxer up-
risings In North and West China fUoda
In Central China the plague In South
China aholera and the plague In various
regions ot Southern Asia and famines la
India. East Central Africa and Finland
No one of these difficulties sraa so widely
nd so distressingly felt ss wore the cuts
In appropriations wnicn tne general mis-
sionary committee waa forced to make
during the first two years ot the quad--rennium
because ot the rapid extension
of the work of the society and conse-
quent extraordinary demands upon its
resources.

attempts on ths part of our missionaries
so to relate their work geographically and
In other ways to that of other societies
that the most economical disposition of
money and Ufa energies msy bs made and
tne largest results acnievoa.
Domestic Missions.
During the quadrennlum now closing the
missionary society has expended 91.047-
499.71 on domestic missions this amount
being used in supplementing the exceed
ingly scanty salaries of over m) Metho-
dist pastors who are at work In very
needy fields. In affording special emer-
f ency relfrf to a few such from time to
Ime snd tn providing the entire salaries
of a few men who are- at work In regions
wnere tneir worx is supervisory and
whore such contributions for self-support
as are made go to local pastors.
Domestic mission work Is carried on In
fifteen languages: It touches practically
svery Bute and Territory of the United
States and ths noncontiguous regions of

notable missionary awakening throughout
the church. The emergency nf three
years ago was the occasion of the orea-
tion of the open door emergency com-

Our Mouse Catching Neighbors.
(New York Press.)
There was nothing for It but a mouse
trsp. Thsy had stood the pest of mice
long enough. The 1anttorhad made one
or two Ineffectual attempts to abate thQ
nuisance but. as the agent of the build-
ing would not permit him to use poison
for fear the mice would die on the prem-
ises ths head of the family spurred
on by the protestations of his wife went
out to a hardware store and called for
a. trap. Hs had supposed the buying of
a mouse trap was a slraols thing but
when hs saw the number of patterns bs
Was bswlldsreri.
"Do you want to catch them alive?"
asked the clerk.
"Well. I should sav I did. If I wantoi
to catch them dead vou don't suppose I
would require a Iran do you?" replied
the head of the family.
"I mean." explained the clerk "do-you
want a trap that will kill ihem?"
"Of course 1 do. I am not collecting
mice for exhibition purposes."
He selected a small steel cags of the
ordinary garrote patten. for which hs
paid 16 cents. That night he showed It
to his wife and they proceeded to set IL
"What shall we bait It with.7" he asked.
"Do we have to bolt ltT"
"Oh. no. You catch mice by sending
them an engraved Invitation."
"Oh Fred. I believe vou' re teasing tne!
What do thev like most?"
"Cheese!"
"Of course! JIow stunld of me! But
we haven't a bit of Hoauefort in ths
house."
"My dear. If we had Koquefort we
wouldn't need the trap. The cheese
would kill them." a
"Just plain American Stieeser'
"Of course! Thess are Just plain
American mice. You mlrht make
Welsh rabbit for them. That would csr-
tnlnly do the business."
She got a morsel of cheeaa and the
trap wsa baited aad set.
Xlatt night a mouse waa caught bat
Gladys fainted the next morning at the
sight of the dead victim and Fred was
obliged to give the trao to the Janitor
in order to save her nerves.
The next dav he brought home a trap
of another -pattern. It was bnited with
cheese but the mouse was not killed bv
Its captivity. After It has eaten the
cheese It found that the onlv open door
led to the rotarv cvllnder of steel wire.
That Is where thev found Mr. Mouai
the next moraine. He was paddlme
around In Uie treadmill under the Im-
pression that he was rapidly getting
sway from the scene of his captivity.
Gladys -clapped her hands at the sight.
"Isn't he too cunning for anything?
But what shall we do with him?"
"We might give him to the baby to
play with." said the unfeeling brute "or
we could attach ths case to the sewing
machine and ret the benefit of hla
energy. We will drown him. of course."
Gladys hid her face In her hands.
"In the river. Fred?"
"Yes! I see myself walking half a
mile to drown a mouse. No; In the bath-
tub." "Fred Patterson if vou drown that
poor little mouse In the bath tub. 1 11
"Bathe ae-nln?" finished her husband.
"Oh. yes. vou will."
And he started wlthssjhe trap for the
bath room. When he had accompll-itieil
his design he gave the trap" and Its dead
contents to the Janitor and returned to
his wife.
"Did did It suffer much? asked Ola-
dv" "Its death agonies wers very dis-
tressing snd I shall never get Its last
words out of mv ears. I'
"You're1 a brute!" said Gladys and
she flounced out of the room.
TJie "Legend" of Russian Friend-
ship. ("Anglo-American" In the North Ameri-
can Pevlew.)
The belief that Russia and the United
States were natural affinities had Its cen-
tral root so far as I could ever discover.
In the legend that Russia was prepared
to resist any intervention by France or
England on behalf of the Confederate
tJtntrs. tM fM ISaVij fK-axw Jrca
the fact that In 1868 half a dosen wooden
vessels belong to the Russian fleet did
actually drop anchor In New York har-
bor jsot a tingle un can be (puoj Ut
the Washington archives to connect the
arrival of those vessels with the crisis
through which America was passing. 1 1t
Is an assumption absolutely unsubstan-
tiated by any evidence In the possession
of the administration.
Bo far as I know the only reference. If
reference It be to any understanding
between the Russian and American gov-
ernments st that time Is to be found In
a private letter written by Mr. Seward
a mere hint abundantly qualified of
vague possibilities that might happen
"sooner or later." But the matter may
easily brought to a decisive test. Ws
have been assured that the commsnder
of the Russian squadron had "sealed
orders." A copy of those orders must
surely exist. Let the Russian govern-
ment produce them If It darea. It will
not dare because from first to last ths
whole tale Is a pure fabrication.
My present purpose Is rather to enforce
what I take to be the vital lesson that
Americans should learn from the record
of their relations with Russia thirty
years of enslavement to a myth" a legend
a fantastic Invention taken on trust with
unlnqulrlng confidence; thirty years of
docile mobility as a pawn In Russia's
game against England; thirty years ot
obstinate blindness to the plainest facts
of International politics; thirty ysars of
effusive "sympathy" with the power Of
all powers whose system most flatly de-
nies the Ideals that America has made
her own. Is this may I ask. a record
with which Americans ss they glance
over It can feel In any way satisfied?
Religious Spirit of Russian War.
(From the London Truth.)
Ths war seen from Russia appears
much more a sacerdotal than a military
thing. Metropolitans popes bearers of
great vessels filled with holy water

In troops signs of the oross genuflex-
ions and rites' that only the orthodox
can understand draw attention from gen-
erals and smart young offlosrs. The csar

Military character. Oeneral Kuropatkln

ners and suppers went out of his way at
