PRETTY FAIR STORY.
Sparrow Steals Judges Hair to
Line Its nest.

New York, Oct. 24.-Two iron gray
hairs from the forelock of DR.. Cady
Herrick, judge of the supreme court,
and Democratic leader of Albany, will
help make warm the winter nest of a
pair of sparrows who cannot afford to
buy coal at the market price.
Judge Herrick, in the supreme court
in Brooklyn, was charging the jury to-
day in suit of Abraham Deutsch for
$4,000 against the Brooklyn Heights
Railroad company for loss of his daugh-
ter Rebeccas services. She says she
was thrown from Third avenue car
and one leg was broken.
He had just begun to speak when the
male sparrow ffuttered into the court
room and alighted on top of his head.
There was litter in the room, and
Judge Herrick smiled as he swept his
hand toward the sparrow. The bird
lodged circled twice around the jurist
and then perched again upon him. This
time the tiny robber pecked at the
judges hair, and when he scared again
there were two silvery hairs in his bill
His mate was on the window sill, and
chirped with delight, and judge and
lawyers broke into a hearty laugh. The
sparrow darted through the window and
up to the blue sky, followed by its mate.
Judge Herrick concluded his charge
to the jury. and did not indicate that
he would punish the bird for contempt.

lNvENTS FLYING MACHINE.
Denver Priest to Compete With San
tos Dumont for Prize.

Denver, Colo, Oct. 24-Rev. Father
Felix NJ. Lepore, of Mt. Carmel Italian
church, is the inventor of a flying ma
chine, which, he declares. will annihilate
space The contrivance has attracted the
attention of eastern capitalists who were
in the secret and advanced $40, 900 for the
construction of the machine. Father
Lepore is one of the three inventors who
We're permitted to enter the contest for
the prize of $3.50 900 offered by Mettz, of
London, England, for the airship which
gives the best results. Three Of those
most likely to come up to the expectations
of Mettz were named by the committee in
charge. Father Lepore was one of the
trio.
The names of the successful candidates
were not, and have not, been made public,
but Father Lepore was officially notified
that his name has been accepted. OF the
other aspirants Santos-DumOnt is said to
have been appointed. The identity of the
other person is not known.
This places Father Lepore in direct COM
petition with the worlds greatest aero
naut. Pending the obtainment of a patent
on the device Father Lepore declined to
discuss the machine in detail.
IAN entirely new idea came to me and
I have followed it out The propelling
power is really the great secret of it all,
explained the priest. My machine will
be built on the same plan as the mechar-
ism of a bird. The propellers can be eithe
heightened or shortened at the will of the
operator.

OWNER OF HALF A CHURCH.
Queer Complication Over Gift of Indi-
ana Man to a Congregation.

Mishawaka, Ind, Oct. 24.-John Wells,
a wealthy resident of this city who pos
sesses much real estate, finds himself the
owner Of half church. In July he gave
a square to the pastor of the Free Meth
odist CONGREGATION as a site for a new
house of worship. Work was begun at
once and the building now is about half
completed.
Las week Wells presented the deed,
but the pastor would not accept it be-
cause it contained a clause providing
that the ground revert to Wells or his
heirs the moment it ceased to be used
for church purposes.
Neither side will retreat. The church
people cannot recover the material i'll

statute. Should they attempt ii Wells
would be granted a permanent inJunc-
ton. It is the first case of the kind
ever heard of in Indiana.

A FOOD CURE FOR CONSTIPATION.

Constipation is an almost universal dis
ease among civilized nations due to con-
Mushes, milk, fine flour bread and conii-
ments, added to sedentary habits, result in
constipa ton, henorrhoids, piles and
other diseases of the srectum, requiring
surgical operation. intestinal catarrh,
headache, bilious attacks, nervous exhaus-
ton insomnia, sleeplessness. auto-intoxi-
cation and paralysis. The remedy is the
daily use of Toasted Wheat Flakes, sweet
ened with Malt Honey. Each flake repre-
cents entire wheat kernel, less the
woody fibre, and contains all the life build
ing gluten of the wheat. The raw starch
found in wheat and cracked wheat mushes
is dextrinized by thorough cooking AMI
toasting. making Toasted Wheat Flakes at
once digestible and curing constipation and
its attendant Ills. 1t is unfailing in its
work.
