slowly ran their course, and half of the
allotted time of waiting had been uncom-
plainingly endured by one of the pair, while
her neighbor had just entered upon her
term of enforced seclusion, when one night
a fierce tempest swept down upon those
two humble dwellings The wind and
rain came with such terrific force that 1t
seemed nothing short of a mountain could
withstand it, The next morning we has
tened to the spot. prepared to find utter
ruin and dismay, instead of which, to our
great surprise, we found the frail inhabit-
atoms still standing. Moreover, they
were stiT tenanted, although there were
unmistakable signs of hardship and sufier-
ing having been heroically met by those
two stout hearts. on closer examination.
however we found that a singular thing
had happened. During the confusion, the
panic caused by the storm, the two had
lost their heads-not literally as we had
al first feared-and had mistaken their
own nests; each was occupying the home
of the other, so that the hen who knew
nothing of the fatigue of long watching
became usurper, while the other was in
danger OF becoming quite discouraged at
finding her hopes indefinitely deferred.
One can better imagine than describe the
evident surprise and delight of the usurper
when at the end of only week and a
half of sitting on her part eight little,
downy, fluffy balls of warmth and merri-
ment briskly tapped their way into the
sunlight and nestled close 10 the maternal
bosom. Whether the other then received
her first intimation that something was
amiss we never knew; but, after waiting
a little longer, the conviction that in some
way she was victim of fraud seemed to
take complete possession of her. She
could endure the suspense no longer and
one morning. seeing the joyful matron
passing by in all her full-blown pride sur
rounded by her appropriated blessings, she
ingloriously forsook the eggs and fled to
unite herself to her rightful children. An
other surprise. awaited US, in the crafty
ing discovery of hitherto unsupported no.
bility in the hen nature. The true moth
er's rights were not for moment contest
ed by the interloper, neither was there
any attempt on the part of the legal oc-
cupant to drive--the other from the HELD;
no complication whatever arose, but the
unusual situation was accepted magnani-
mously and apparently on terms of edual-
ity, and the happy little brood, thanked by
their two watchful protectors, made a
pretty group as they strolled about through
the soft spring grass. 1t would be inter-
esting to know the nature of the com
pact formed by the two adults, and In
what capacity the mother really figured
as mistress or maid.

most likely would assume The hegemony.
German policy aims at securing both a
predominant influence at Pesth, and the
control of the military forces of the Sui

SNAKES PICK HIS HOPS.

vermillion Qnd) CORRESPONDENT Chicago
Inter Ocean.
Hop picking is one of the principal In
dustries of this county, and gives employ
ment to several hundred persons each
wear. In 1896 the employers had consid-
cradle trouble with the pickersi over the
question of wages. The pickArs wished
10 be paid by the hour, but the. hop grow
ers wished to maintain the present scale
by the piece. The matter a.s a general
proposition is still unsettled except by
one hop grower, Jacob Presley, on Deer
Lick bottoms He did not hipe any pickers
az all this year and yet his hops are
all picked and cured. The story is a Gu
rious one and begins in 1895, when Mr..
Presley first noticed two yellow snakes
in his hop field His first impulse was
TO kill them. but their actions were so
odd that he stopped TO watch them. The
snakes would climb the hop poles and pick
every blossom, throwin, them upon the
ground. Then they would extract a GER
lain amount of hop Fl ON the stalk and
mass on to the next Lme This set Mr..
presley thinking IL the snakes could not
be utilized instead Of nen and women.
In the spring of 1896 he found a nest OF
thirteen yellow makes down by
the creek, and capturing them
alive. he took IL en- home. In the
fan he tried them On the hop fields while
the men were abseTn and with such sue
cess he determined 20 use them this year.
Accordingly he h red no hands, to the
great surprise of his neighbors. Instead
he turned the su axes loose, putting $50
baskets on the 81 ound to catch the hops
as they fell. The experiment was a great
success. but MIR. Presley has incurred the
deadly enmity Of the Hop Pickers' Union,
fhe president which, Bob Habernut,
promises TO pu boycott on Presley's
snalre-nicked he IDS this winter.
