THE BOY AND THE SPARROW.

Once a sweet boy sat and swung on limb,
On the ground sat a sparrow-bird looking
at him;
Now the boy he was good, but the sparrow
was bad,
go it shled big stone at the head Of the
lad,
And it killed the poor boy, and the sparrow
was glad.
Then the little boys mother flew over the
trees
TELL me, where is my little boy, sparrow
bird, please?"
HE is safe in my pocket" the sparrow
bird said,
And another stone SHE'D at the fond moth
er's head,
And she fell at the feet of the wicked bird,
dead.
You imagine no doubt, that the tale 1
have mixed,
But it wasn't by me that the story was
fixed:
Twas a dream boy had after killing a
bird,
And he dreamed it so loud that heard
every word,
And 1 jotted it down as 1t really occurred.

AN INEXPENSIVE SILo.
Description of One That. Although
Built for Only $36, Has Given
General Satisfaction.

Speaking of silos and cheap built ones,
we were greatly interested in a stave
silo in Tompllins county, holding about
90 tons and costing all told $36, and as
fine silage as need be is now being fed
from it, writes John Gould in Hoard's
Dairyman. The novel thing about it is
that instead of using iron rod hoops,
four bands of 52-inch wire fencing were
used instead, and with entire satisfac-
ton. A band of fencing is cut, of suffi-
cient length, so that each end is
wrapped about 4 by 4-inch oak
scantling, so that when put round the
silo the end pieces will come within
about 10 inches of each other and are
tied together with two 1-inch bolts
with double burrs. The pull of this
band is simply immense, and the coil
of the wire takes up all slack when
the silo shrinks when empty, and ex-
pands when the slaves swell, so pull
all the time. The bands are placed far
enough apart so that three manholes
are sawed in between the bands. The
foundation is simply little trench in
which the lower ends of the slaves are
set, and then filled in-inside and out
with cement, and the inside dirt is
drawn up against the walls of the silo,
so as to make the center the lowest
The roof is just given little pitch and
covered with boards battened and the
ilo is complete, and doing as good work
as a 81, 900 structure. And the cost OF
this Cotton Gilo was only $50.

1t begins to look very much as
though the West Virginia glass house
at Martins Ferry is to be absorbed by
the tableware combine, although there
is some skeptlcism upon the part of in
terested people, Notwithstanding the
deal appears to be all but closed. Yes
terday afternoon the board of directors
OF the West Virginia Company held a
meeting at the Bank of Wheeling in
THIS city, and arrangements were made
tor transferring the plant to the Ma
tlonal Glass Company on Tuesday if
the latter comes up with the cash con-
slderatlon as promised. The option
which the National has held upon the
west Virginia expired Saturday, Sep
TENDER Both, but on the succeeding Mon
day communication was received from
the combine promoters stating that the
offer would be accented. This letter
was read at the directors meeting yes
terday and committee, composed of
Secretary A. j. Smith. of Martins
Ferry, and w. j. Diehl, a stakeholder,
was appointed to meet the officers of the
National in Pittsburg on Tuesday to
bring negotiations to a close.
The price to be paid for the West
Virginia is $4,000 in cash Proper
consideration is also to be allowed for
the $1,000 worth Of improvements that
have been added to the plant since the
option was given and the stock is to be
taken at invoice The book accounts
are to be retained by the West Virginia
company.
A member of the board of directors
said when seen last evening that the
only thing that will prevent the deal
from being consummated will be the
failure of the combine to lay down the
cash on Tuesday If this is done the
deed for the property will be made
out to the National Immediately.
At the meeting yesterday Chas. Lamb
was elected a member of the board to
fill the vacancy occasioned by the death
Of his father. the late Gibson Lamb.

THE IDOL OF THE TURF.
The Most Popular Jockey In America and
England Recommends stuart's Dyspepsia
TahIeare

Tablets.
No jockey has ever appealed so
strongly to public favor as Tod
Sloan.
He has achieved more than his
most noted predecessors ever at
tempted and stands in a class by
himself.
Not satisfied with his success in
his native country, he went to
England and now his fame as sue
cessful horseman is on the tip of
every tongue not only in this
country and England but in every
section of the whole globe where
racing has found favor
When Tod first went to Eng
land his temerity was openly
laughed at but the little American
played skittles with his English
rivals and his victories made all
England gasp.
Having the stamp of royil ap-
proyal, society both at home and
abroad "lionized' him and he is
feted and petted to an extent that
would turn an ordinary mortaPs
head.
The great jockey was in such de-
mand socially and dined and win
ed to such an extent that it was
feared his health would give way.
Too much society and the nervous
strain of racing told on him.
4 two weeks trip to America
made him acquainted with Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets and their re-
markably restorative effects on
depleted digestive apparatus and he
recommended them in unstinted
terms to a friend, saying 'Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets are the best
thing l know of for keeping the
stomach in condition and appetite
in good repair"
Thousands Of former dyspep-
ties can vouch for the truth of Tod
Sloan's words, as ''Stuart's Dysp1p-
STA Tablets" have become a house
hold word in America, and few
families are without them. One
or two taken after meals keep the
stomach sweet by causing prompt
and healthy digestion of the food.
Perfectly healthy people use them
after heavy dinners to keep their
good health and to make sure that
no i'll effects will follow an unus-
ually hearty meal.
Your druggist will tell you or
your doctor either that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets are composed
only of digestive ferments, AS
ceptic Pepsin, Hydrastis, fruit ac-
ids, ETC., and for the strong sto-
mach as we'll as the most delicate
constitute a safeguard against in
digestion and stomach troubles.

which were being offered. The rush
