Washington, March 3O.-An exciting
incident occurred late in the house Mr..
Wheeler CDen., A1a.) speaking to pro

drawer of a battered sewing machine,
which had been floating around during the
flood in a squatty two-story frame house

Birds of a Feather.

The young men of Nelsonville
and Athens and other neighhoring
towns who visit US occasionally,
will always find hearty welcome
and col dial greeting from their
many friends in our city. Logan

attentive to the stranger, and to
our near neighbOrs and familiar
acquaintances, has always a well
come hand and kind word
Hooking Sentinel.
The above cogigation from Mr..
Green comes as an antidote to the
pleasant dose administered by us n
few issues since, to squad of
ruilians from Nelsonvile and
Athens who captured our town on
ono Sunday evening recently and
basely insulted our ladies among
whom unfortunately was our good
wife. MIR. Green extends them
hearty welcome and cordial greet
ing to return again soon and often
to insult some more ladies. He
enjoys 1t. 1t was not his most
esteemed wife or innocent daugh-
ters that were insulted. Thus he
chuckles and laughs because our
good wife was insulted by these
ours. Birds of feather flock to-
gether. The sewerage of one town
will enjoy the sloppings over Of
another. Green is one of the
beautiful characters OF our village
that would stand around on street
corners and chuckle at the emhar-
rassment Of insulied wives of our
ci,iz 'ns, and offer no resentment,

Too hot for paper. But IL was not
his wife. 1t was ours who ch hanced
to pass these ruffians on the street,
and then Green chuckles and in
vites them back again to insult
more ladies. Ged forbid that his
wife and daughters may chance to
meet upon our streets the objects
of his welcome and invitation. We
resent the insult to any lady, and
will place the brand of low breed
ing and condemnation upon the
putrid form Of any who may give
it. We are ready to punch the
face Of any cur who insults any
lady if in our power so to do, but
our friend Mr.. Green would enjoy
it. He belongs to that breed that
knows no sense of honor for resent
ment for other than his own. He
laughs at the insulted others. We
hope his family good fortune.

IMPROVED PEKlNs.
Pshin Ducks are of che Best Type Now
Raised On Farms.

Pskin Ducks are of che Best Type Now
Raised On Farms.
Pelsin ducks are of the best type now
reared at the large duck farms which
send immense quantities of ducklings
to the best paying eastern markets.
These long, deep-keeled ducks have
been much improved by these exten-
sive rearers, as they have learned that
the very best bodied ducks, that ma
ture the earliest, are the kind that can
make the most money for them. There
are few who realize the magnitude of
the business carried on by these estab
lishments, operated exclusively for the
production Of ducks for the market,
and especially for the rearing Of early
ducklings, several of them shipping up
ward of 10000 ducklings by midsum-
mer, and some Of them producing more
than 10000 in the season. The prices
realized for the earliest ducklings mar
keted might seem almost fabulous, but
that they are well earned Is evident
to any one who will visit these farms
and see the work and the great care,
as well as expense, which these earli-
est Matched ducklings require. Still

Poultry Prepared for a journey.

All kinds of poultry should be placed
In water when first dressed, unless they
are drypicked and are to be packed and
shipped without ice. In that case the
heads and feet should be carefully
washed, but the body kept perfectly
dry. Turkeys and all kinds of poul-
try intended for distant markets should
be dry picked. They stand the journey
better and look nicer when they ar
rive in market, and consequently bring
better price. 1t pays to pick and
pack poultry carefully, for this is what
counts in markets and pays we'll for
the extra work. Never ship a mixed
lot of poultry in one box. Sort all lots
carefully, and have all nearly the same
size together; the poor ones in box by
themselves, or else the poor ones will
cause the lot to go at a low figure.

A FATAL OVERSIGHT.

Col Digger, one Of the Klondike'b
most genial and popular multi-mil-
lionaires, was as pale as ghost.
The mercury was lower in the Their
mometer tube than the price Of silver
In New York, and the wind had blown
the cold-wave flag full Of holes.
The colonel sat alone in the gilt
edged library Of his more than palatial
mansion, and there was the look Of
expectancy in his eye, which comes to
those who may mount upward to the
skies or sink to the abyssmal depths
Of the darkest despair, depending en-
tirely upon what the news may be that
he is expecting.
For sometime he sat as II stunned,
but this could not endure, and shaking
himself as IL he would throw of the
burden Of his doubt, he arose to his
feet and strobe toward the hall, whore
over the door hung the antlered head
Of that mighty caribou which had mas
tered the Yukon for dozen years.
At the portals of the entrance the
colonel met Mrs. Digger, who had but
at that moment emerged from the cell
lar of the mansion.
For an instant they looked into each
others eyes and the colonel spoke.
WELL" he said, with Unsurpassed
emotion, well, how many barrels did
you find?"
"They are all gone, Henry" replied
the trembling woman. I'VE used the
last Of the last one last night"
Col. Digger clutched at his heart as
If fatal pain had caught him there,
and he gasped like a stricken giant
ere he spoke.
I'VE age lost!" he shrieked; "irre-
trievably lost! There isn't a pound Of
feed in town, and those fool clerks OF
mine made a mistake and shipped If
teen barrels Of picked pork to the San
Francisco mint instead of the fifteen
barrels of gold dust they ought to have
shipped, Fools, fools, that they were!"
he raved, and his wife sought to COM
fort him, but the millionaire refused
to be comforted, for his soul was
above the dross of gold and he had be-
gun to. realize what true worth was.

these raisers OF early ducklings claim
that they find the growing of young
ducks more profitable than young
Ten or twelve thousand ducklings
are often yarded on five acres of
ground; however, the most successful
farm we know of has an abundance of
acreage on which to grow roots and
green food for the stock, this being a
very important factor for their sue
cessful production. An ample supply
Of green food for the old breeding
stock seems necessary to keep them in
good condition for early laying. Last
season the market opened in the spring
with As cents per pound for ducklings.
This season it was lower, only 81, but
prices have kept up longer than they
did last year, so this season may per-
haps prove quite as profitable on the
whole product of the year. The cost
Of rearing young ducks is put at five
cents per pound by these large grow
ers and the ducks are marketed at
about nine to eleven weeks, when they
weigh about five pounds. The average
price of the whole seasons product is
put at about 20 cents per pound in the
market. The Pekin ducks in England
have been classed after the Ayles-
burys and Rouens, but in America
they have proven by far the most prof
table of all when reared on large
scale, artificially for the market.

HE FOUND EXPRESSION.
A Dentists Victim who Found Vent for All
His CorIsed-Up Emotions.


ADentises Victim who Found Vent for All
His Corlsed-Up Emotions.
The dentist whlstled merrily as he
went about his work. 1t seems as II
he knew that he would have to do
the whistling for two and was rather
glad of it.
First, he put the patient in chair
and then he tipped the chair back un-
til his victim was helpless. After that
he did little probing with an ex-
aggerated knitting needle until the
patient gave jump that nearly lifted
him out of the chair, whereupon he in
quired in a surprised tone:
docs 1t hurt?"
Does it hurt!" repeated the patient.
We'll, should think.it did,"
"Oh, well, that will be all right
now," returned the dentist With an air
of calm confidence, as he got out
rubber dam and proceeded to make
the patient speechless.
Then he resumed his whistling,
while he was getting an array Of tools
out in front of the patient and other
wise doing what he could to make
him feel uncomfortable. A little
more probing followed, and when he
had one of his sandspikes located on
nerve he called an able-bodied boy
in from the next room and let him
use lead mallet on the other end OF
the spike, the idea probably being to
,t,, co fhot
he will be in good trim for tackle
when the next football season gets
here. Twice he stopped to ask docs
1t hurt?" but, of course, rubbery,
blubbery sound was the only answer.
The steam drill came after fifteen
or twenty minutes of rock excavation
by hand, and, when it struck, the pat
lent jumped so high it seemed as IL
a blast had been touched Off.
Does it hurt?" asked the dentist in
the same tone of sorrowful inquiry,
and it was evident from the way the
rubber dam moved, that the man be-
hind it was endeavoring to say some
thing.
OF course, there comes time when
even the patience of a man in dem
lists chair may be exhausted, and now
and then the man with the triumphant
smile and the corkscrew tools over
plays himself, as it were. 1t was ac-
cording to the best information at
hand just after the dentist had said,
Does it hurt?" for the eleventh time,
that the man in the chair tore off the
dam and began operations on his own
account. Not more than five minutes
later he stood over bruised and dis
hevelled dentist and delivered himself
as follows:
II amt kickin' about bein' hurt. I
kin stand the hurt. / allus expect to
git hurt in a dentist chair, but there
amt no dentist livin' kin drive spikes
into me an then gloat over it an git
away without gittin' hurt some him
