A saxaxe plue1ax.

A sportsman camping on one of the
lakes of Sullivan county. n. T.. offered
to bet $40 to 81 that nobody in his par
ty could guess how lie had received I'll
injury to anger which he held bleed
ing before the spectators. No one guess
ed. and the man went on to explain
that while standing by the lake he had
seen bluejay flying over SO close
above his head that he instinctively
threw up his hand to stop it. The bird
neither stopped nor swerved. but in
stead dashed straight for the hand.
striking it with such force that the bill
penetrated to the bone and sent the
blood squirting rs though the man had
been struck by knife.
This sort of action Is in line with the
general conduct of the jay. 1t is one Of
the most aggressive birds on the con-
tinent, robblng the nests of other birds
and sometimes even killing young squir-
rels. The chief good thing that can be
said of it is that it often robs the nest
Of the English sparrow.

A Religious Free Lance.

Otto Faust the Barnes county
farmer who disappeared sudden
iy some time ago, is quite a
c aracter. He has built a church
in Valley City which is open to
all forms of religious services,
free of cost. He contributes
largely to all who-seek his help,
recognizes no creed except the
Bible and is not in touch with
any denomination. But with his
h rise and cart he travels about
holding services in Norwegian
in school houses and dwellings,
from LaMoure to Cooperstown.
Recently in Valley City he an
nounced the coming of Christ to
that wicked city very soon and
they probably would not see the
speaker very soon. either. Dur
ing his last days there he gave
away money with a lavish hand,
500 to one man, and then left
for Minneapolis. He is we'll to
do, and his friends believe he
will turn up all right in the
spring when seeding begins

ARRANGING FOR ST. LOUIS DISPLAY.
viii Lyon County Avail Herself Of the Chance
to Advertise Her Resources?

The Southern Pacific company in
tends making an elaborate exhibit at
the st. Louis fair of the resources OF
the States and Territories through
which it passes. San Francisco will
be given special prominence In the
display, which will be in the hands
of w. H. Mills; land agent of the
company. Referring to the proposed
exhibit, Mr.. Mills says:
"What we would like now is for
counties to make appropriations to
boom their districts. Should they
spend money in this way we will
have all the more money left to spend
in other valuable channels.
Several counties have already
communicated with me and have ap-
propriated handsome sums toward
the exhibition. | am also very anx-
ious to get horticuiturists and others
to make donations"
Here is a chance for Lyon county
to do something, especially Mason
Valley. A very fine exhibit of cop
per ores could be obtained in this
section, and a fine agricultural dis
play could also be made. 1t would
cost little money to do this, but 1t
would no doubt bring returns at a
largely increased rate. This valley
ought to have population of five
thousand people, at least, and a few
hundred dollars expended in judi.
ciously advertising our resources
might be the starter for n gcod-sized
immigration to our valley. The
Board of County Commissioners OF
Lyon should place competent can
vasser in the field to gather statistics
and a display of ores and agricul
tural products, and also have some
tasty printing matter for distribu
tion at the fair setting forth the ad
vantages of our valley as a place foi
home seekers.
