aous scheme. He said the man claims tc
represent an art house and solicits fol-
the enlarging Of pictures. Yesterday
morning this solicitor went to the rooms
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Crafts in the Firebangh
block and solicited Mrs. Crafts order for
an enlarged picture Mrs. Crafts declined
to give him an order. The man then
asked for her album, which was given
him He sat down and began to Iook,
through the book. Finally he came to
Mr. Crafts photograph and when he
learned it was the picture of Mrs. Crafts
husband he took IT out of the album and
put 1t in his pocket Mrs. Crafts remon-
strated with the fellow but he is said to
have paid no attention to her remon-
strances and walked out of the room with
the picture as boldly as If he had owned
the house, and Mrs. Crafts could not de-
fend herself
The solicitor took his nerve with him
and called at the rooms of Mrs. Cora

the same floor. Mrs. Baughsman's moth
er was in the room at the time. He Sc
cured picture from her, although she
said firmly that she did not wish anv
pictures enlarged, and attempted to get
out of the room with it The old lady
grabbed the picture and at the same time
gave the solicitor q little lecture. He was
very ungentlemanly, Mrs. Baughsman
said, and really insulted her mother.
From there he went across the han to
Mrs. D. H. Mandigo's rooms He got a.
picture there although Mrs. Mandigo
forbade him charging it and coming
back with q bill
Mr.. Crafts returned from a trip out of
the city in the afternoon and his wife
told him Of the irnpertinent solicitor and
his forcsble taking of the picture, the only
photograph she had of her husband. Mr..
Crafts went Immediately on the hunt of
a policeman and gave orders to arrest the
fellow. He described the man as a low,
dark, heavy-set fellow. He said the So

Valley Improvement Company.

The stockholders Of the Valley I'm
provement Company held their annual
meeting last Saturday. The report of
the treasurer showed that the total re-
ceipts OF the company for water sold
during the season of 1900 amounted TO
secs. The total expenses, including
salaries, the building OF new laterals, en-
larging ditch, extending head gate, lum-
ber, ETC., was sl,337.86. Interest on
bonds and payment of old claims against
the company consumed the balance.
Five hundred and forty eight inches of
water, including Is inches Of perpetual
right at 81 an inch, were sold last
season. Supt. M. M. Davenport exp poets
an increased sale next year 81 at least
200 inches, which will swell the receipts
to 5000. Out Of ,1021s shares Of stock.
700 were represented at the meeting.
The following were elected board of
directors to serve for one year: Frank

port, VIM. Boorman, Chas. Ross, +. E..
Newly and @. 4. Copple. The new

The Guinea Fowl.

One of the most valuable and yet one
Of the most neglected factors OF the
poultry yard is the guinea fowl. First
let US look at her and see wherein the
value liee. She is a persistent layer,
scarcely If ever missing day, Sundays
and holidays included. The eggs, while
small, are, in reality nearly as large and
afford nearly as much eating as the
average hens eggs, although there is lit
tie market for them because OF their ap-
parent deficiency in size. Another very
valuable feature Of the guinea is one to
which many people seriously object, and
that is their continual racket" but
right here is the value. That continual
racket" is not quite 80 continual as one
might suppose. The never ceasing cry
Of "Buckwheat, Buckwheat,," is no
more annoying than the quacking of a
duck. But the ear-piercing screech is
only occasioned by the approach of dan
ger. This is their only means Of defense
and while they are defending themselves,
the other fowls are safe as well. There
is no danger OF chickens being carried
off by hawks If one keeps few guineas,
for upon the approach Of Mr.. Hawk he
is greeted by such volley OF screams as
to frighten him away. Should he be
daring enough to come on he will be
met in the air by the guinea, who will
soon give him to understand that it is to
his interest to leave--and that soon.
Many people are of the opinion that
guineas steal their nests and one cannot
find the eggs. This drawback is easily
overcome by simply observing their
habits. When the guinea hen is on the
nest she will every few minutes utter a
peculiar cry, which is entirely different
from any other. If one will observe
this the nest is easily found. The
guinea has many peculiar traits of
character. Whatever one does, they
all do. Especially is this true among
the young. When the little fellows are
hatched they greatly resemble the little
prairie chicken or grouse, and their first
feathers are brown feathers and theya are
replaced by the blue and white spotted
ones. No poultry yard especially on the
farm, is complete without few of these
pretty fowls.-Farmer and Fancier.
