panied by violent hiccoughing, and the
Jail physician, becoming alarmed. noti-
fied Colonel Cooper's friends in Dover
OF his condition. He never rallied
from the attack and died last night
State Prison-keeper Moore took
charge of the body and will await in
structions from Dover as to its dispo-
sition. Almost at the very hour of his
death Cooper's property in Dover
was being sold by Sheriff Wharton to
pay his alleged part in the defalcatior
of the bank.
The result of the sale Of Colonel

Gently at the door of the old homestead
Seventy years ago." said he, when
was boy and came down in the morn
ing the air rang with the song of birds
On every tree there was a chorus OF
songsters. The woods were full Oh
game. In those days we never heard OF
paris green with which to drive the
bugs from the potato vines and squash
'es. A simple 'scarecrow' served the
purpose of keeping the crows from the
corn. For the rest, when the fields were
once planted they grew undisturbed
Now there are next to no birds. The
air is tuneless. But for every vegetable
there is bug. The bulk of the farmers
time is spent in fighting bugs. Paris
green or sprays of deadly poisons are a
daily necessity. The world seems dead
to me. The birds are gone and feel
no more at home. Boston Globe.
