A farmer told this story the other day at New
ton L. l., to New York EUenJng sun man:
Crops had turned out pretty badly and the
prospect for sprouting was worse. No rain had
fallen for many days. l was about discour-
aged. My boys were flying a kite. Dad they
said, send up message l took a piece OF
paper, half OF a sheet of note paper, and wrote
on 1t: Will 1t rain7 Henry K. Smith Then
the boys sent up the message, as You die many
a time when you were boys. Well, tat mes
sage went soootiag away up. Before long a
whole flock, or whatever you call H. OF spar
rows came along. They spied the kite and the
message away up there, and kicked up a great
rumpus They darted at the paper, drove their
little bills through it time and time again,
and pec1ed furiously at It, Then they stood
Off some distance as IL inspecting their
work, and then they flew off and took up their
position in a big tree. The boys, shortly after
ward, when the air became close aud the big
black clouds began to bank themselves up all
about pulled down the kite. But sma1 piece
OF the paper remained. All of the name but
the on the end OF Henry, the E and the on
the Smith had been pecked away. That spelled
yes But ths strangest thing yet to
happen. That night there thunder storm,
but strange to say not drop of rain fell Next
morning we found that the tree in which the
sparrows had taken refuge had been struck
