THE TAME CROW. 4,


Little Love Wasted on Him By Hs WlId
Brothers.
1t Is well-known fact that wild
animals and birds do not care to re-
ceive back into their society a member
that has lived season with man as q
pet. This was illustrated in q noisy
manner out near Pleasant Ridge, &C.
cording to the story told by q witness
to a Cincinnati Times-Star reporter.
"A tame crow" said he, "had for sew
eral years cawed around the farmhouse
of our neighbor, and was seated On a
fence away out on the farm cawing
and settled in the field. The tame one
grew frantic, cawing and scolding till
the attention of the flock was attract
ed to it. Rising en- masse the flock
circled around and alighted on the
fence about the tame one, which be-
came frightened and flew up. 1t was
followed by the others, which crowd
ed about it in its fight and forced it to
fly farther and farther away from the
farmhouse and over a great wood.
There they oil set on it and pecked it
and clawed the poor thing till its fight
was marked with feathers falling. AL
this time they kept up a terrible cav
ing and calling. They would undoubt-
eddy have killed the poor bird, but it
spied man at work in the woods and
dropped down to him. He proved .
friend, and Jim Crow was soon perched
on his shoulder cawing defantly at his
relatives who had cast him from
among them, but who now Jew to .
respectful distance"

Sullivan Has Cancer.

John L. Sullivan's left hand has
been attacked by cancer, and the en-
tire arm is in imminent danger of
amputation. For long time the ex.
champion has been troubled by the
disease. A few days ago the pain be-
came so great that he went to the
Emergency Hospital, where DR.. Gal
vim pronounced the case extremely
dangerous.
An operation WAS performed, and
Sullivan was warned that if he did
not follow out the doctors instruc-
tions to the letter, particularly in re-
gard to drinking the Arms would have

Uncle Dawes Little Trick.

A little while ago Uncle Dave Hen
Mon of Hartlwick, n. j., decided to
sink well. He made it wide, and
he dug deep. Finally he struck a
bountiful stream of water and pre-
pared to line the well with stone.
When he had worked short time, the
stone fell in and choked up the well.
An idea struck old Mr.. IIrnninn.
He put his hat and coat on top of the
cave in. Then he hid in his hay-loft,
while his sympathizing neighbOrs
cleaned out the well in search for him,
Mrs. Hcnnion watched the work,
crying. When all was done and the
neighbors had gone away puzzled,
forth came Uncle Dave.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

Teething children may be relieved
from commissions by being immersed
in a warm bath with cold cloths ON
their heads.
Dissolve a tablespoonful of turpen-
tine in two quarts of hot water and
use for washing glass dishes and
globes. 1t gives them a beautiful
luster.
Cayenne pepper sprinkled in cup
boards and stOrerooms will drive away
ants and cockroaches. If a cloth is
wetted and sprinkled with this and
stuffed into mouseholes it will rid the
place of mice.
Turpentine will remove paint from
wooden goods and silk fabrics. Satur-
ate the spot with spirits of tur-
pentine and allow it to remain for
hours. Rub the cloth between the
fingers and the paint will crumble off
without injuring the goods.

AN AUTUMN REVERIE,
Tho Happy Bride Was Entranced by
Nature and So Was John.

Nature and So Was John.
It was in the month of October and
they had been married four weeks.
Four blissful weeks they had been to
her in that lovely country house among
the quiet hills, says the Detroit Free
Press.
Day after day the autumn sun had
been painting the trees in wondrous
shades of tints. and now the mountains
were great banks of rich maroon, and
the valleys, flowing silently between,
DER streams OF grass-green waves and
scarlet foam.
This afternoon she sat with him ON
the long, low piazza and gazed dream
lily on the lovely picture spread be-
fore.
At first she talked to him sitting
there so comfortable in his great rus
tic chair, but her voice grew softer and
softer until it died away in whispers
and she was still.
The mystic, restful touch of the
sweet October days was upon her, and
it was blissful peace to sit idly in the
sun and look upon the beauties of the
scene-silent she, as it was.
The old life of her girlhood had gone
and she stood upon the threshold of
this new life-this wondrous hall of
womanhood, extending far, far before
her, as were the valleys spread below
the mountainside.
There was upon her soul the inef-
fable calm of autumn time, and the
magic of the afternoon fascinated her.
And it was not for her alone, but
him; this man who now was part and
parcel of her life.
He, too. she felt, must feel the rap
turous thrill, the weird and witching
spirit of the hour.
'John," she whispered, softly, as the
hum of bee that knocks at the door of
every honeyed flower.
But John did not respond. S~--,'
All, he too. is clothed in this charm,
she thought.
John" she said, again, this time
with eager tone, as if to call him
from his reverie and share with her
the raphsody that moved her very
soul.
But to her ears no answer came to
lay its soft response upon her heart.
John was sound asleep.

As the days go by. it becomes clearer
that the two wings Of the Democratic
party, created by the split on silver,
will not reunite. Had the silver kings
aequiesced in the decision of the people
at the polls, and definitely abandoned
the l6 TO 1 idea, the closing Of the gap
would have been practical But they
have declared that the agitation shall
go on; and it now becomes of interest
to know what viii be the course of the
sound money Democrats. The real
strength cf that element did not apre3r
in the vote for Palmer and Buckner.
The majority Of the Democrats voted
for Mckinley. They fired both barrels
instead OF one, at the silver foe. A vote
for Palmer meant a half-vote for Nc
Kinley: they each gave him a whole
vote. We believe that the course Of
the new administration will be such
that the majority Of the gold Demo-
Gratis will come to its support This
will mean the breaking OF the power OF
the Democratic party. as at present
controlled, in all the great states east
Of the Mississippi. and north Of the
free silver states OF the South And
such a course would mean absolute
hopelessness for any further attempts
to debase the currency by the adop-

The statement OF the Scriptures that
IT is more blessed to give than to re-
ceive is abundantly confirmed this sea-
son. when thousands are finding the
keenest enjoyment in planning gifts
which will express hearts full Of love,
and in many cases represent self-denial
in their purchase. Untold delight is af-
forded those who visit the big shops at
this season. The number. variety and
beauty OF articles suitable for Christ
mas presents is simply marvellous. No
matter how limited the income. there
are useful ornamental and even artis-
tic articles which may be obtained, and
which ell through the coming year will
go on reminding the recipient Of the
happy Christmas time. There is one
rift. however. in the Lutte. or more prop
erly speaking, in the pocket book
Money does not hold out worth cent
at this season. The only consolation is
that everybody is in the same boat
People Of large incomes and small all
have the same experience. They cannot
buy half the presents they want to,
or near as expensive ones. which shows
how thoughts Of the greatest holiday Of
the year soften peoples hearts and in
vigOrate their generous impulses.

In Medieval DAYS

When people wanted anything they
knelt down and prayed for IT, How
ever. that was some time ago. Along
about 400 a fellow named Guten-
berg, who had come de Rhine
ove.-," was monkeying around a
carpenter shop In Lentz. He whit
tied some little blocks and actually
made an alphabet. Then he rigged
sort of-well a machine that
would look something like our let
ter press OF today. He arranged
his blocks in order. put some Ink
on item, also piece OF paper. ana
then screwed his press down. That
was called printing. Old Gutenberg
made a bowling success Of the
racket, and his head became SO
swollen that he really snubbed the
king one day. The king overlooked
It, however, for he had an Idea
what kind Of fellows printers would
be. Well. finally they got the print
ing system down pat. and, as the
centuries rolled by. began printing
newspapers-hrst person, invariably
singular number, any gender and
hard case.
