HAVE YOU INDIGESTION?

Perhaps There Il . Hint For You In This
Story of Some AilinG Chickens.
Troubled with indigestion, are you:''
Feel all puf.ed up, Ell? Well, it's pity
that some one couldn't treat you the
way my brother-in-law's wife treated
her chickens. That was when they lived
out in Lewistown, Pa"
''GoinS to tell us another story now,
I suppose, like those about catching
herring in the grass and hunting shad
with n dog and gun, amt you?"
Without paying any attention to this
sighting remark the Jerseyman went
on:
MY brother-inlaw's wife had fine
crop Of chickens that summer. They
were all Matched that spring and were
growing well when one day the whole
flock got at bag of dry cornmeal and
filled their crops full of it. The first
thing my brother-in-law's wife knew
of this was when the meal began to
swell and turn sour, and the whole
troop Of chickens were waddling around
with crops twice their regular size and
every chicken looking like the bass
drummer in German band. You see,
the chickens either had got at water
too soon or else didn't have gravel
enough in their crops to grind up the
meal, and it wouldn't digest and seem
ed likely to burst them.
There was no one by to give help O,
advice, and my brother-in-law's wife
wasn't going to lose that lot Of more
than 100 fine chickens if she could hell
it. so she started right in to do the bes1
she could. The children caught the
chickens and brought them to her. and
with her buttonhole scissors she cut 6
slit in each one of their crops. She
| squeezed out the cornmeal, washed
their crops ont and sewed them NJ
again. The chickens seemed gratefnl
They were kept quiet for couple O
days, fed lightly, and every one of then
recovered. New York Sun.

gent man knows is based on false
hood. Is Cullom to be rewarded for
turning the people Of Illinois over to
McKinley's plunderers and panic
breeders? Is Cullom to go back to
the senate to vote again for another
monopoly law that will result ex-
actly as the Mckinley law resulted ?
The people of Illinois cannot reach
Tom Reed. They cannot reach Will
liam Mckinley. They cannot reach
John Sherman. They cannot reach
any of the other tools of the McKin-
ley conspiracy save one. That one
is Shelby NJ. Cullom, and him they
can reach at the polls this fall.
This pliable servant Of the trusts
and combines must imagine that the
people have short memories or def
cient intelligence when he appears
before them to say that his panic, his
waste. his extravaganza, his plunder
and his hard times are all due to
their action two years ago in con-
demning him and his associates. He
knows better. He was taken in the
act, and his offenses are not forgot
ten.
The judgment of Illinois on the
Mckinley conspirators will not be
complete until Shelby NJ. Cullom.
the man who betrayed this state into
the hands of the protected combines,
shall have been retired from the
high place which he has disgraced.

Long Farms In Maine.

Maine probably has many oddly shap-
ed farms, but VIC do1bt if one can be
found more peculiar in form than that
in the east part of Dexter, formerly
owned by the pioneer blacksmith Eli
jah w. Sprague. This was eight rods
wide and a half mile long, with the
highway cutting it at right angles into
unequal portions. The inconvenience of
so narrow farm, with pasturage and
woodland at one end, is obvious to any
one. but in this form it has continued
from the days of the forefathers to the
present time, in use as farm all the
time. A farm only 90 rods wide and
about half \ mile long was in use a
great many years near Pennington Falls
and may be so used yet for all the writ
er knows, but the Dexter farm beats it
by nearly two-thirds for narrowness
and general oddity. Farms of this shape
are numerous in Canada. Lewiston

TOO MANY SPARROWS.
Tho English Bird Is Not Even a Favorite In
His Own Home.

His Own Home.
1t appears that the detested English
sparrow is by no means general favor
lite in his own home across the water,
where his habits have been more care
fully noted
In the course of his paper ON wild
Birds, Useful and Injurious, in the
Royal Agricultural society's journal,
Mr.. c. z. Archibald says: THE sparrow
has received an overf1owing measure of
abuse from farmers and gardeners, and,
Notwithstanding all that has been urged
in its favor by enthusiastic advocates,
there can be little doubt that it deserves
a large share of the vituperation be-
slowed upon it. The keynote to the spar
rows character is to be found in the
deiusion under which it labors that
corn growing is carried on for its es-
pecial benefit Grain is undoubtedly the
nlainstay of the sparrow. This it OBJ
tains i'll the fields at seedtime, when
sprouting, in the unripe, milky cordi-
ton, and when fully matured. AT this
last named period a quantity of grain is
wasted by being shaken ont Oh the
ground by the birds, in addition to the
amount actually consumed. At this
time, too, numbers of sparrows which
live for the greater part of the year in
towns are tempted to visit the field.
their grimy appearance proclaiming
their usual hauntS.
In gardens the sparrow finds full
scope for its destructive propensities in
devouring peas, Of which it Is very fond,
az well as few goosebcrrics and cher
ries- In the most mischievous way, too,
it pulls TO pieces the flowers of the
crocus, dahlia, primrose, polyanthus,
hepatlca, heartsease, wistaria, the shoots
of pinks and carnations, the pods Of the
laburnum and the blossom of frui,
trees. 1t also does considerable damage
to beds of young radishes and lettuces,
besides levying toll ON the grass seed:
sown on lawns. On the other hand, j,
must be freely admitted that the spar
row does a great deal of good.
Among the pests destroyed by the
sparrows are wireworms, daddy long
legs, weevils from peas and beans
aphides, caterpillars Of various kinds
houseflies, blue beetles, black beetles
and white butterflies. In some district
choviss, otherwise known as Maybugs

judgment on CuiIom

II is the intelligent Judgment OF
the world. saws the Chicago Herald,
that the McKinley-Sherman legisla-
tion of 1890 led to and was directly
responsible for the panic of 1898.
The distrust which eliminated in
that panic began Immediately after
the passage of the Mckinley and
Sherman laws. These measures, one
Of them providing for the oppression
and destruction OF many industries
for the purpose of enriching few
others, and the other threatening the
credit Of the treasury by piling up
silver bullion for which gold was
paid. were supplemented by appro-
priations. the recklessness and the
extravaganza Of which made national
and individual bankruptcy practi-
cal certainty.
Asserting to everyone OF these
measures, voting for every possible
scheme Of plumber and waste and in
justice which the mill owners die
tated. and giving his approval at
every step to the greatest conspiracy
against free people ever set on foot,
was the senior senator from Illinois
Shelby NJ. Cullom.
Many other republicans were in
strumental in looting the treasury,
in destroying public confidence, in
precipitating the panic and the re-
sulting idleness and distress, but, so
far as Illinois is concerned. it was
Shelby NJ. Cullom who squandered
the treasury surplus; it was Shelby
M. Cullom who destoyed public con-
fdence in the ability of the govern
ment to maintain the parity Of gold
and silver; il was Shelby NJ. Cullom
who precipitated the panic. and it is
Shelby M. Cullom who is responsible
to the voters OF Illinois for all of the
hardships which his dutiful service
in behalf Of the tariff protected trusts
has brought upon the people.
The question now is whether this
notorious servant Of the avaricious
combines OF the east, this boastful
author of unparalleled woe and
suffering, is to escape the righteous
penalty for his misdeeds by inter
posing q defense which every intelli-
