Hard on the Poor Farmer.

The oppression of the poor western
farmer still goes on apiece. In Nebraska
the supreme court Of the state has just
taken from him Il lucrative means Of live
lihood. For years there has been a law in
the state requiring railroad engineers to
whistle at every highway crossing and i'm
posing Il fine Of $50 for every failure to do
so, half the fine going to the informcr.
For some reason engineers have not been
able to do all the whistling required by
this law, perhaps from need of some steam
for running ;hc LOCOMOTIVES, and the farm
ers have made II great deal of money by
watching the crossings and bringing suit
against the companies for infractions of
the law.
Every suit thus brought has heretofore
been decided against the companies, and

When the next European war comes it is

France, during the times of the Franco
German conflict, brought tho science of
carrier pigeons up to high standard Of
efficiency. Then it was thought that no
superior to this 1.-the little bird could be
found us carrier of dispatches. But the
French military authorities are beginning
to think differently now. Experiments
have been made with the swallow, and he
has proved to be swiftcr, surcr and alto

greatest probability, therefore, that swal-

A new idea has sprung up in French
military circles nevertheless that after all
it is rather imprudcnt for u great army to
intrust its messages, frequently of great
moment, to such small birds, so subject to
attacks from the great birds of prey that
arc continually on the outlook for such as
they. 1t has been proposed that storks be
trained for dispatch service, the theory be-
ing that the "nest instinct in these birds,
their swift, certain flight, their tremendous
wing and leg power and their strength to
meet any attack whatsoever in the air
would render them ideal messengers of
war.
The stork certainly could combat Sic
