KNOWING GROWS

The cunning of the crow is almost as
marked as that Of the fox and, like
the fox's it is displayed In effecting
safety in mischief. A farmer in Hart
ford county, who had been annoyed by
crows that pulled up and devoured his
neWly-planted corn, and found scare
crows" of no use, resorted to the better
plan of fixing string, at an elevation
of few feet, around and across the
field This, which suggested to the in
telligent and crafty crows the proba-
bility of some trap set for them, had
the effect of keeping them out of the
field for many years But very sud-
denly, after avoiding that field for
over twenty years, the crows again re-
turned to in full force, doing great
mischief Then the owner shot two of
them, and hung up in the field the
dead crows This was six or eight
years ago; and not a crow touched the
field for two years. Then, as suddenly
as before they all came back, last year,
and pulled up the corn.
AS last resort, the owner tried, this
year, the plan Of soaking the corn and
rolling it in gas tar, before planting it.
This did the business" for the crows,
this year. Not a crow was seen near
the field. Yet they are known to visit
and do much mischief in cornfelds in
which the sprouting corn had been
rolled in pine tar Tt is only the gas
tar that keeps them at a distance.
The query arises, How do the crows
know (which is which,"

of Europe in like capacity, also versed

ed his ability as first class auctioneer
by selling at a large profit, the fifty or
more packages, all of which had been
donated, each guest being expected to
bring one or more. The auction Melted

THE PROSPEROUS AND HAPPY
WEST

Isaac J. Wild trea surer Of the Gas
Light company, and his two sons have
returned from q very pleasant trip to
Duluth and Minneapolis. They went
by way of the great lakes and had a
delightful trip. Mr.. Wild returns en-
tifely recruited in health. He says Min
neapolis is rapidly growing in both
wealth and populations and the Mime
apOlis authorities exuItantly estimate
that the population of that city will
now closely hug a quarter of d million.
Everything is booming there and is
vastly different from the times that
prevailed when he visited that section
in '93 or "a. Now great buildings are
being erected in the business center, in
Guiding the addition of six or eight more
stories to a dry goods store building
which is already eight stories high. Mr.
Wild took a survey Of the city and
surrounding territory from the top Of
one of the twelve story buildings Of
the city. He says it is a sight to see
the forest of bicycles that suddenly APP
pears on the streets minute after the
stores and offices close for the day. Mr.
Wild says the principal electric car line
there has very long passenger cars ana
are equipped with an attachment by
which the motorman shuts the gate OF
entrance as soon Is a passenger boards
a car and no overcroWding Of cars Is
allowed, as when the car is comfortably
full the car takes no more on board,
but leaves the passenger to catch the
next one which comes along in very
few minutes. The railroad companies
have had so many suits for damages for
accidents in the past that they spare
no efforts to prevent accidents. Mr..
wild enjoyed a visit to the big lake
near Minneapolis. st. Paul, Minneapo-
lis close neighbor, has nigh 1so,ooo
population. The west Is prosperous
and well contented with the good times
prevailing. Mr. Wild and his sons are
now domiciled at their Indian Neck
cottage. Mr.. wild returns to town
daily.

lions had been received from public bod

The home secretary answered the

had been made in favor of Mrs. May
brick by the American government,
through the United States ambassador
here, Joseph Fl. Choate, and that num7
erous representations had been made by
private individuals. But, he added, it
would be contrary to practice to present
