together these crows consulted hur- riedly, and then with loud, defiant chorus of "caw, cav, caw," they took wing. The bird of prey had not risen fifty feet into the air before the crows had completely surrounded him. They pecked at him above, below, in front and behind. They would rise many feet above and shoot downward one after the other at theshawk with the swiftness and celerity of swallows. The hawk, burdened with the breath less chick, could not endure the savage onset and soon sunk among the trees. But the crows, crying 'caw, cav" more defiantly than before beat upon him still, and at last the hawk dropped the chick and angrily dashed upward again. For minutes the battle ragged over the tree tops. The hawk was fierce in his defense, but the crows, using the same tactics as before, gradually drove him higher and higher still, until finally discomfited and thoroughly beat
 en the bird of prey sailed off to the south whither he was followed miles and miles by two of the more pugna- cious crows. The others now flew in the opposite direction and disappeared.
 Meanwhile what had become of the little white chick to whose rescue these eight crows had so chivalrously gone? With feathers sadly rufled and her breast black with the slime of the bog into which she had dropped from the claws of the hawk, the dazed chick was slowly and painfully hopping back through the swamp to the maternal

 to Release a Chicken.
 A white-feathered chicken in search of worms strayed from the yard of a Feeding Hills farmer on a recent after noon and was soon scratching merrily in the black loam of swamp near by, says the Springfield Mass. Republican. A big hen hawk that was sailing lazily along far up in the sky tipped an eye down. ward and saw the little white chick. The hawk had had no dinner and was very hungry. The big, hungry hawk suddenly shot down like stone and be- fore the chick could run or cluck or even flap her funny little wings she was in the hawks cruel claws. The farmer was cutting cornstalks in a wagon near the barn and did not see the hawk with Tapping wings rise into the air, clutching tight the little white chick frightened and still. But perched upon some trees the other side of the swamp were eight black crows. They had seen it all Putting their heads

has fully explained it. 1 see nothing in the

Gliding the CASE
After the recess Miss Ball. an employe of
the Office, was sworn. She testified to having
MIR. Swan. counsel of the Bell Telephone Com
pany. asking for certified copies of certain re-
1ected applications.
MR.. sIMoNDs TEsTIFIHs.
Ex-Commissioner Simonds testified to Mr.
Swans request for copies Of papers. The ex-
ecution Of the request was placed in the hands
OF Maj. Emory. At the same time Mr.. Simonds
directed that carbon copy of the copies be
prepared for himself.
Here Mr.. Simonds reviewed the history of the
litigation in his department over the Berliner
During this time the Department of Justice be-
gan preparations to bring a suit for the annul-
ment OF the Berliner telephone patent, issued
in November. 1891
Mr.: Simonds said he was reliably informed
that his course was criticised, and that he him.

suit should be tried, as he issued the patent
sought to be annulled In order to protect him
self when such trial came off he caused a
carbon copy to be made of the papers being
prepared for the suit. This action, said Mr..
Slmonds, was taken with the full knowledge
and consent Of Secretary Noble. Mr.. Simonds
had no other object in having the copies made
than the one thus stated.
NEVER SAW THE COPIES WHILE IN OFFICE.
Mr.. Simonds never saw these copies made for
him until they reached his home in Con-
necticut after his retirement from Office
and when the proceedings Of Church 4
Church were instituted. He had been then
requested by his attorney to ascertain what
copies were in his possession. Mr.. Simonds
affirmed that the preparation Of these copies
had no connection whatever with his resuming
the practice of law.
Mr.. Church asked Mr.. Simonds if he had
ever paid for the carbon copies which he re-
ceived. Mr.. Simonds replied that he had not
paid for them.

posed his counsel, Judge Payson. Let that 60
Mr.. Simonds stated that he had never OBJ
jected to paying for them.
After some unimportant crosse xamination
Mr.. Church concluded, whereupon Judge Pay
son said that Mr.. Simonds here rested his
case
CHIEF CLERK BENNETT.
Chief Clerk Bennett was then put on the
stand. He testified to directing the copies of
the papers to be made at the order of
the commissioner. He only obeyed or
ders. 1t has long been customary
to permit outsiders to work in the patent Office
at copying. He did not direct Misses Long
fellow and Bitter to make carbon copies, and
did not say those copies wero not to be charged
for as being intended for Commissioner
Simonds.

GOPHER PESTS IN THE WEST.
Farmers Ways of Killing These Destructfv.
Little Creatures.

Farmers Ways of killing These Destructive
Little Creatures.
From the Helena Independent
One of the pests to which farmers In many
parts of the west are subjected is the common
ground squirrel, so familiar in Gallatin county.
When suffered to breed unmolested they in
crease at an alarming rate and their destr nc tive
powers are something enormous. They are
found in greatest numbers in the vicinity of
grain fields, and the number Of tons of wheat
and barley consumed by these animals is some
thing amazing. A single colony OF suuir-
rels will frequently strip several acres Of
their corn, and il is no infrequent sight
to see strip twenty-five or fifty
feet wide along the entire extent of
large grain field cut down as cleanly as
though by a ma ,hne, while the weii-beaten
trail leading to the great mounds of squirrel
burrows shows the agency by which the work
was accomplished.
There are many methods of killing the souir-
rels. favorite one where irrigation is prac-
ticed being to divert a stream of water into a
burrow and let II run until the occupants are
all drowned out. Sometimes. however, this is
lmpracticable. for IL not infrequently happens
that good-sized stream will be run for hours
into burrow without any indication that IL il
filed up and without driving a single squirrel
to the surface. When a colony is drowned ont
however, the number Of those that reach the
surface and endeayor to escape is something
surprising. Several hundred not lnfreouently
inhabit the same burrow.
The most effective means of DESTROYING these
pests Is by the use Of carbon b;-sulphide One
Of the officials of the Colorado Agricultural
College. who has been investigating the matter
gives the following instructions for handling
this remedy, which he recommends as very eff
fectual and not at all dangerous to the person
applying it when handled with proper caution
The method Is to take tightly rolled ball of
cotton the size of q hens egg or smaller. and
thoroughly saturate it with the carbon bi-sul-
phide. With rolling motion throw the cotton
into the burrow and close the opening with
earth, packing 1t down hard. The operation is
simple and the result certain The carbon BIZ
sulpnide evapcrates quickly, and the vapor
being heavier than air. soon fills the burrow
and smothers or overcomes the squirrels The
applications should be made in the evening at
shutdown. as the squirrels in their burrows
at this time and can be reached by this method
All the burrows in a neighborbood should be
treated at the same time. as those close to-
gether often connect and where but few are
treated the squirrels can escape to those left
open. When thorough job is made and every
burrow stopped mp, colonies will be almost
completely ex'erminated by single application.
