A PIGEONS DEVOTION.
Mother Bird Picked Through q
Wooden wall 10 Feed and Reach
Her Young One.

In the animal kingdom there are
many strong examples OF mother love,
and the birds are particularly coted
for displaying it. a remarkable IN
stance Of this maternal instinct was re-
Gently noticed near EIwood, Ind. A
mother pigeon whose young one had
mysteriously disappeared searched un-
ceasingly for weeks for the little one,
and one day last December was seen
flying violently against the side OF a
frame building in the city.
Each time she came in contact with
the house she Clipped off a small bit
Of wood with her bill. For nearly two
days the old bird kept this practice up,
often during that time falling exhaust
cd from the repeated shocks and IA
tigue. In the afternoon or the second
day she had pecked a hole in the wall.
the wood of which was old and sost
from the weather This hole was large
enough to admit a mans hand, and
through this the mother bird went and
came.
Every time she entered she carried
grain or seeds or grass. Some curious
people investigated the hole while she
was absent. and there they found the
little lost pigeon, just below the hole,
wedged in between the weather boards,
For two days more the bird continued
to bring the little one food, and would
stay fiuttering near the hole, chirrup-
ing and trying to cheer the little pris-
oner up. Many times il entered and
seemed to be trying to extricate its
young one, but it could not succeed in
doing so, try as it would. The prisoner
had flown into the building, which was
empty. and managed to get between
the weather boarding, near the top of
the inside. Falling considerable dis
tance, it lodged in the narrow space,
which did not permit il to use its wings
in rising again. Its plants had reached
the mother, and she, not being able to
reach it from tie inside, had cut
through from tie out. An admiring
man thrust his hand through the hole
and brought out the futtering young
thing, much to the great delight Of the
anxious mamma brd.-Indianapolis

AMUSING INDOOR GAME.
ParlOr Croquet Is Good Diversion
for Rainy Days when Outdoor
Sport Is Impossible.

You have all played croquet on the
lawn with mallet and ball and many of
you, probably, are skiIlful players, even
though you may not have mastered the
game scientifically. After a romp in
the fields you are glad to come back to
the garden for a quiet game, in which
ever so many of you may play at one
time. We have here game of croquet,
but it is somewhat different from the
ordinary game. 1t is an indoor game. a
diversion for rainy days when outdoor
games are out of the question.
First Of al you must manufacture a
"lawn," which may consist of smooth
oblong board with a rather deep frame,
or you may simply make wooden frame
and fasten it to table. Cover this
lawn, as we call it, smoothly with green
cloth or felt, then make wickets of
wire and secure them 10 the lawn as
shown in the illustration, running in
a stake at each end, just as in a real
game of croquet. A number is given
each wicket, and the player who scores

the highest number within a certain
number of shots is the winner of the
game
Instead Of m lets, use the hands, the
balls being small enough to be held
easily between the fingers. Place the
ball between tie bent thumb and the
first finger, which is crooked TO hold the
ball, and with the thumb send the ball
out over the lawn with snap sufficient
to give it speed The wickets marked
with the highest numbers are so placed
as TO be rather difficult TO reach, and
the effort to reach them lends interest
to the game. Ii requires steady and a
sure aim to play this game well. for it
is not quite as easy as it looks. You
could roll the balls, If you like, but
swapping them as FIRST described gives
more life 70 the game.

"The agony OF the situation in
creased. The wreckage. disturbed Sy
the lever. with sudden lurch settled
pain was heard, 1t was living death
for his wife. and again and again she
begged TO be put out of her misery.
There was nothing that could be done
but wait. But her anguish. Could she
stand the strain, the pain?
You have heard about such things
gentlemen, but you cannot realize the
anguish of Jack Savage at that mo-
cnent. He fe,t for the revolver in his
pocket, but his hand drew back alb
horrently. Yet the screams of his
wife continued to ring in his ears.
Jack, dear, darling Jack!' she
pleaded. I can't stand 1t. | can,
stand it. l can't stand it. Oh, Jack,
put an end to this. XIII me, Kill me.
1t would be Gods mercy to kill me-"
1T seemed as IL a SILVER ran over
his body. He was trying TO nerve
himself Something desperate had TO
be done. He could not stand that
his loved one should be in such mis-
cry. He was suffering almost as much
as she He had been sitting near her
trying to keep her cries of distress out
of his ears, but OF sudden he arose,
before anyone could judge what he was
doing. took his pistol from his pocket
and gave 1t to her. I cannot do 1t,
was all he said.
Kiss me, Jack, dear, Jack, was her
reply.
with almost frenzled passion he
threw his arms about her She drew
him even closer to her. There was one
long, lingering embrace, word OF
love--and then-then Mrs. Savage was
out Of the reach of the pangs and pains
of the world forever"
The colonel paused moment to col.
lect himself and then continued"
Not a word was spoken. The train
men stood as il dazed. Then the hus-
band bent down and picked up the still
smoking revolver. 1t was but the
work of an instant, before anyone
could interfere, to place 1t against his
own temple-and Jack Savage had
gone to join bis wife"
Again the colonel stopped and fel;
for his handkerchief 1t was rather
warm in the room.
THAT is the story, he said And
don't think there was anything ethic-
ally, morally or religiously wrong
about 1t, either

GAME OF BLIND MANS BUFF.
The Sport Is OF French Origin and o
Very High Antiquity.

This favorite sport of childhood and
high antiquity, having been introduced
into England in the train of the Nor
man couquerors. It's French name
Colin Maillard," was that of brave
warrior the memory of whose exploits
still live in the chronicles OF the mid
die ages.
In the year 999 Liege reckoned
among its valiant chiefs one Jean Co
lin. He acquired the name Maillard
from his chosen weapon being a NAL
let, wherewith ia fight he used literal
ly to crush his opponents. In one OF
the feuds which were OF perpetual re-
currence in those times he encountered
the Count de Lourain in pitched bat
onset Colin Malllard lost both his eyes
He ordered his esquire to take him in
to the thickest of the fight, and, furi-
ously brandishing his mallet, did such
fearful execution that victory soon de-
clared itself for him.
When Robert OF France heard OF
these feats OF arms he lavished favors
and honors upon Colin, and so great
was the fame OF the exploit that 1t was
commemorated in the pantomimic rep
reservations that formed part Of the
rude dramatic performances OF the age
BY degrees the children learned To act
II for themselves. and 1t took the form
of the familiar sport.
The blindfolded pursuer, as with
bandaged eyes and extended hands hi
gropes for a victim TO pounce upon
seems in some degree to repeat the ac-
ton Of Colin Maillard, the tradition OF
which is also traceable in the name

The American Farmer Is sincere In
what It says and whenever 1t indorses
an article, be ii machinery proprietary
medicine, or man individually. we
want our readers to believe that what
we say we have good reason to under
stand is true. For year or more
there have been Endorsements of the
Swanson Rheumatic Cure Company Of
1877 Dearborn street. Chicago, by this
paper People have written us to
know If this company Is responsible,
and If Its remarkable remedies, for the
cure of rheumatism. neuralgia, dyspep-
sla, catarrh. kidney troubles, etc, real
" had merit We have therefore been
at extra pains to investigate. and once
again we add emphasis 10 our former
Endorsement of that company. There
may be isolated cases here and there
which, probably through neglect in fol-
lowing directions, or from exposure or
some unexplainable reason, the won
derful Five Drops remedy does not do
the work. But II Is a case where the
exception proves the rule. Mr.. Swan
son is gentleman of character and
personal integrity, and, we believe,
would no more attempt to deceive the
public than the writer of this article.

on pears, apples and peaches in yari-
Gus parts of the country, does not sur
yive the recess of fruit drying. This
proves absolutely the falsity OF the
claims of several European govern

from their ports.
