GEESE CARRIED A MESSAGE.

Neighbors Who Have Trouble
some Fowl.

Down in the Neck" two neighboring
households once dwelt in amity. They still
dwell there, but in amity no more. Let
them here respectively be called the Hold
kinses and the Podkinses for the very good
the truck plantations. The Hodkinses are
keeping geese this year. The Podkinses are
not keeping geese-not If they know 1t. Now
the Hodkins geese acquired the habit, when
weary OF disporting themselves in the big
ditch" of resorting to the front lawn OF
the Podkins demesne. These invasions the
Podkinses resented. Their remonstrances
failed of effect. A condition of strained
relations ensued. Mrs. Podkins, kindly old
soul, said she didn't want ter git tn men.

a board OF strategy, consisting OF herself,
her daughter Sis and her boy Joe" The
result OF their deliberations and certain
preparations, where figured needle and
thread, some grains of corn and some bits
OF cardboard, became evident next morning.
The Hodkins geese appeared as usual, but
returned home quickly, squawking so nois-
lily as to bring the llodkinses in body to
the front door: What they saw paralyzed
them. Descending from each fowls bill was

to grain OF corn in the birds interior de-

string was attached card bearing this in
scirption: "Plese Kepe Yur Durn Ole Coos

now reconcentrados upon the Hodkins
home ranch.-Philadelph Record.

A FATHERS STORY.

From the Evening Crescent. Appleton. Wis
A remarkable cure from disease which
has generally wrecked the lives OF children,
and left them in condition to which death
itself would be preferred has attracted a
dents of the west end of Appleton.
The case is that of little Willard Creech,
son of Richard ID. Creech, well known
employe of one of the large paper mills an
the Fox River Valley. The lad was attacked
by spinal disease and his parents had given
up all hope of his ever being we'll again
when, as by a miracle, he was healed ana is
now in school as happy as any of his mates.
Mr.. Creech, the father of the boy, who
resides at 1862 Second Street. Appleton,
Wisconsin, told the following story:
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1898-11-12

"Our boy was absolutely helpless His
used electricity he could not feel it below
his hips. Finally we let the doctor go as he
did not seem to help our son and we nearly
gave up hope. Finally my mother who lives
in Canada wrote advising the use of DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People and l
bought some.
"This was when our boy had been on the
stretcher for an entire year. In six weeks
after taking the pills we noted signs of vi
tally in his legs, and IN four months he was
able to go to school.
1T is two years since he took the first of
the pills and he is at school now just as hap
py and well as any OF the other children. 1t
was nothing else in the world that saved the
boy than DR.. Williams Pink Pills"

Judge FaulLner's opinion recently de
livered in the Harrison case was able
aud eiaboa e holding the act Of 1897,
changicg he Seventh Delegate District,
uncors sutional and void.
He reviewed the law upon the power
of The Legislature in rodistricting the
State The constitution Of West Vir,
GINA. following the constitution Of the
United States in establishing n census
every ten years. provides that af.er each
census the Legislature shall redislrict the
State and establish apportionment Olsen
ators and Delegates.
Section 10, article G of the constitution
of West Virginia providing such redis-
~tricting and establishing the number Of
delegates. provides thst there shall be no
change in the arrangement of districts
and delegates %appor,ioned until a sue
ceedipg census.
Judge Faulkner reviewed this provi-
sion of the constitution aud held it to be
mandatory and governing the powers Of
the Legislature, being the first after the
census of 1890, in pursuance Of the con-
slitation. enacted a law redisirictiug ths
State aud apportioning the delegates, aud
this law Judge Faulkner held to be bind
ing on subsequent Legislatures untiI there
is another census. The act of 1897, which
is declared TO be unconstitutional, at
tempted to interfere and to change the
districts as established in 1891 by making
the Seventh Delegate district consist OF
but two counties instead of three as above
uamed.
The matter is of Importance to all pc.
Iitical parties in the State, as there would
be no end to changes in the districts
made by each Legislature were not the
power to redistricting limited to once
every ten years.
Judge Faulkner held that the recent
act is plainly unconstitutional and that
the power to declare the act ~uucons,itu.
tional rests in the courts. If the Legs
Iature vas permitted to change the ar
engagements of districts in one particular
it would be permitted to change them in
any particular, thereby creating intermin-
able confusion aud political mistrust.
