The power of the hooking bird to
amuse folks is not confined to it's abil-
tiles as rich-voiced singer. The more
birds are studied the more students
wonder what they can't do. Birds
with some marked characteristics are
sometimes neglected in other respects
than their popularity and so it happens
that the hooking bird is better known
as an initiative singer than as an orig
inal one, and that it was a dancer as
much almost as q heron or crane few.
were aware.
The hooking birds dance methodic-
ally, like woodmen in square dance,
rather than with the wild gyratiOns
of a darkey hoe-down. They keep
their bodies stiff, with heads and tails
erect, their wings dropping and feath-
ers fiattened out, something like the
English sparrow when hopping about
before it's sweetheart; but the spar
rows feathers are thrown out usually
instead of being fattened against the
body.
Two of the mocking birds make q
set, and they bound along, jumping
rather high, but not far, going. from
one end of the playground to the other,
one behind the other about a foot, and
each one at the end of the playground
turns in circle slowly and with dig
nifty, and goes back again. Sometimes
they stop and look at some distant OBJ
ject. day dreaming, apparently, then
away they go again.
Mr.. Blake tells about a hen that was
disturbed by the actions of pair of
hooking birds in their dance, where
upon she left her brood of chickens
and charged the couple with clucks
and f1uttering feathers. Up went the
hooking birds with true hooking bird
talk, scolding and sputtering at the
hen until they finally drove her away.

Rhineland. Mo-, Sept. 6.-Last night
an angry mob of masked men assem-
bled in front of the Rhineland hotel,
prepared to lynch Thomas Larkin, a
tramp giving his residence as New
York, who in the afternoon had brutal
ly assaulted little ALA Cannon, elev-
en- years old. Admittance being re-

down the door and brought out Larkin.
He begged and prayed for them to
spare him, but this only made them
more enraged, and they took him to a
tree near town and swung him UP.

Dear Sirs: A few weeks use of Paine's
celery compound by my eighty-three-
years-old mother has been Of great BEN
eft to her and proved to my satisfaction
that there is nothing like it for the
headaches and sleeplessness incident to
impaired digestion. A niece in my fam
lily was also cured Of insomnia by using
one bottle Of Paine's celery compound
Yours very truly,
HANNAH B. SPERRY.
In every part of this country women
are utilizing these blessed spring days
by taking Paine's celery compound and
insisting on it's use by the members Of
their families. 1t speaks volumes for
this wonderful remedy that of all the
women who have recovered health by
it's means very many were induced to
take it through the persuasion of other
women-sisters, mothers. friends or rel
ativeS.
Many man slowly failing in health,
but stubbornly shutting his eyes to the
alarming fact, has been led to take
Paine's celery compound from seeing it's
remarkable health-giving effect in the
case of his own wife, sister or some
other member Of his household.
When a sick and feeble sufferer is
seen to gain steadily in health and vigor
from taking Paine's celery compound,
not much room for doubt is left to the
most stubborn minded person. This joy

The reputation of Paine's celery COM

from persons made well, to others who
needed its healing, strengthening power
The agreement of opinion among the
best-informed, most observant class Of
people, in the we'll to- do-homes Of our
largest cities, as we'll as in the more
frugal town communities, places Paine's
celery compound far il advance of any
remedy. Paine's celery compound is,
in fact, the only spring remedy ever
heard of in the home Of practicing ply
sicians.
This great remedy is not an ordinary
spring sarsaparflla, bitters, tonic, or
nervine
Paine's celery compound is as far
apart from amy of these gueSswork
remedies as black is from white in the
eyes Of physicians who regularly pre-
scribe 1t, use It themselves and carry 1t
home to their own families. Paine's
celery compound is the famous formula
of that thoughtful ana studious physi-
| clan, Professor Edward E. Phelps NJ
D., Ii. D., of the Dartmouth Medical
School.
1t is the duty Of every man or woman
who has been benefited by Paine's Gel
cry compound to impress on friends
and neighbors its wonderful efficacy as
spring remedy that Is in every way
worthy of the name.
The past of Paine's celery compound,
as every one who keeps informed Of
current events is well aware, is a re-
markable story of sick people made
well, and of many persons, who had
| given up health as wholly lost, made
strong as ever they were in their lives.
Faines celery compound is the spring
remedy par excellence. No invigorator
has been so much praised, discussed,
recommended and used by physicians,
and discerning, conservative men and
women in every walk Of life.
