DEVOTION OF a PIGEON.

ElWO0d Bird Works foe Days to Ne.
lease an Imprisoned Companion.
A remarkable example of pigeons
devotion was illustrated at Elwood re-
Gently. There are many coops of car
rier pigeons in that city. Some days
ago pet pigeon disappeared from it's
accustomed retreat at the storage
house of the indianapolis Brewing com
pany. No trace of it could be found.
A few days later the old pigeon was
noticed acting strangely. 1t began fly
ing viciously against the outside of the
building and striking the weather
boarding with her bill and head. She
would fly to the Panhandle car track
and with flying start dive back against
the side of the building, always hitting
the same spot. She kept up her queer
actions until, it is claimed by those who
witnessed the affair, she actually
clipped n hole through the siding.
She was later noticed carrying food
and dropping it through the small open
ing. An investigation revealed the fact
that the missing bird had got fastened
between the weather boarding and the
lath. 1t called on the old bird and at
last attracted her attention. She be-
gan work getting to it and after three
or four days succeeded in making a
large enough opening to get food
into it.

FEEDING a PUMPKIN.

Nebraska Farmers Successful Scheme

"Say, did you know that pumpkins

enormous size?" asked a retired farm

prize and did.
GLOW did do it? BY raising the big

Every night l set pan of milk on each

drink up that milk faster than pig.
1t would absorb from n quart to three
pints every night and it began to swell

AND WALL STREET

Patriotism does not dwell in Wall
street, says the Philadelphia Ameri-
can. OF this we have had, OF late,
much evidence. From Wall street
has come protest against our Re
public acting toward Spain and Cuba
as Christian nation should. That
which is right. the United States may
not do, for to act in accord with the
dictates Of right and justice might
interfere with the conscienceless pur-
suit OF the goddess Of greed in Wall
street. The United States must act
with regard for the interests Of Mann
mon not OF mankind, must hold the
dollar dearer than human Ete, must
not raise hand to stop the sacrifice
Of human life in Cuba for such action
might impair the value of certain
stocks and bonds, values that are
dearer to the worshippers Of Nam
mon than human life.
This is the demand that comes ont
of Wall street and this demand does
not pass unheeded, the command Of
Wall street must be done even
though the will of the people be ig-
nored. So we have our foreign policy
monlded by the hand of Mammon
rather than by the spirit of right and
jnstice. Where right and justice,
civilization and humanity demand
that we take one course and regard
for the interests Of Mammon another,
where the paths Of justice and Mann
mon cross, justice must be ignored
and the dictates of Mammon obeyed.
So we do not interfere in Cuba to
stop the savage war of determination
that devastates the island, brings up
gu its inhabitants untold miseries,
consigns them to the most lingering
and fearful deaths, but that does not
and cannot profit Spain we don't inter-
fere for Wall street fears that such
action would adversely affect the val
ues Of stock exchange securities. And
the pockets of those who waste their
lives in pursuing the goddess ofgrecd
in Wall street, in preying upon the
accumulations Of industry must be
protected come what may. Wall
street puts its impress upon our for
eign policy, the dictates of Mammon
supersede the precepts Of right and
Justice in moulding our attitude to
wards the struggle in Cuba. Would
that we might be spared this humili-
alton that we might stand forth as a
nation where love of man was held
dearer than the love Of gold.
