says the raising Of sorghum cane was
once a great industry in Iowa and
could still be a great industry were it
not for the use of adulterants by the
wholesale in the article usually placed
on the market and masquerading in
the guise of sorghum.
Minnesota has just passed a law
for the protection of sorghum raisers,"
said Mr.. Abrams to Secretary Simpson
of the State Agricultural society, "and
it is high time Iowa was following
suit. In Minnesota it had come to
pass that sorghum growers were driv-
en- out of business because a satisfac-
tory substitute which p%urported to be
the real thing was placed on the mar
ket at half the price. Under the exist
ing law this imitation sorghum is so
labeled that no one can be deceived
and there is again a popular demand
for pure sorghum such as u grand
fathers used to make.
Discourses on Rot-Gut.
Pure sorghum, why moi pure whis-
ky?" was suggested to MI. Abrams.
Sure" replied the anti-saloon fight
er. IF we must have whisky, by all
means let it be pure. If good whisky
is bad, bad whisky is worse. The glu-
cose that n is beguiled into using in
the mistaken thought that it is sorg-
hum is very bad on the stomach, but
not half SO bad as good whisky, and
bad whisky is infinitely worse. Let's
do away with whisky altogether, but
by all means let us stop the sale of
~adulterated or rot-gut whisky at once,
However, / fear this is impossible. Sell
a druggist a barrel of pure whisky and
with the assistance of a cistern of rain
water and a little plug tobacco he will
convert it into six barrels and it will
satisfy the cravings of the diseased ap'
petite of a drunkard just as well. III

tied in the average drug store you
will find six inches or SO of a nasty,
black, gummy substance that upon
close scrutiny proves to consist of a
large quantity of cigar stubs, 'snipes,'
which the small boys in the large cit
les are employed to pick up out of the
cutters. When they are mixed with a
gallon of pure water and fifty gallons
of rain water you have a barrel of first
class rot-gut whisky. Nasty, filthy
stuff like that is what gives us most

SORGHUM CRUSADE.
H. H. ABRAMS, FORMER PREsl-
DENT OF ANTI-sALooN LEAGUE
HAS A GRIEVANCE.
Appeals to the State Agricultural So
ciety to Demand a Law for Pure
Sorshum-Says Industry Is Menaced
Wholesalers to Blame.

H. n. Abrams, former president of
the Anti-Saloon league, who will be re-
membered in this city for the part he
took in the ~anti-saloon movement here
some time ago has started a sorghum
crusade in this state. "Iowa's sorg-
hum industry is menaced. Further
more, pure sorghum in Iowa has al
ready reached the place in history now
occupied by dodo," said Mr.. Abrams.
He has made a personal appeal to the
State Agricultural society to interfere
before sorghum becomes extinct. He
asks the society to demand the pas
sage of a law that will impose a heavy
penalty for the sale or offering for sale
anything purporting to be sorghum
that is not absolutely pure or does not
contain a label explaining that it is
only part sorghum and that the rest is
glucose, a substance injurious to the
system.
Should Pass a Law.
Mr.. Abrams would have II believe
that something besides whisky is a
menace to the welfare of Iowans. He

THE BRoAD-wINGED HAWK.

 large cage, some six feet long, with a perch running from end to end. They did not seem to take their confinement in bad part, though at times they be- came rather uneasy, fitting from one end of the perch to the other, often skipping lightly over each others backs in order to do so. When they were fed, they showed little fear. taking from my hand mice, grasshoppers,. or raw beef, and usually carrying their food up on the perch to devour it. After the man. ner of hawks in general, they held it firmly with one or both feet, and pulled it to pieces with their hooked bills. At all times of the day they uttered their plaintive whistles, which often half persuaded me to give them their liberty before I had completed my observa- tions, But kept them until the end of the month, and then I took them from their temporary prison and tossed them into the air, one after another. Two of them flew away, and saw neither of these again for several weeks. when a local gunner brought in one of them, limp and cold; he had shot it as 1t sat quietly in a tree-top. The third bird refused to leave us. He sat in an ap- ple-tree all the afternoon, and only to- ward night did he fly off to a patch of goodland about a quarter of a mile from the house. Thence we could hear his pathetic ''Che-e-e-e," which seemed to gently protest against our unkindness in allowing him to be hungry. So my wife went out to the wood with some food and, sitting down on a fallen tree, whistled softly in imitation of his own voice. In moment he came to her side, and, although ravenously hungry, took the food as gently as a canary. From that time he has been a source of continual pleasure. After being fed a few times in the wood, he soon learned to come into the garden. for his food, and now whenever he is hungry he flies to the roof and calls to us. We try to respond. at once, and when we appear, he flies down upon our hands or shoul- ders to eat whatever we may have for him. At first he was quite nervous, and if a stranger appeared, or if he heard any unusual sound of any kind, he was off to the woods, to come back only af- ter much patient calling. But now, no ordinary sight or sound alarms him, and, although the quick turns of his head show that nothing escapes him, he will not fly away until he has fin-. ished his meal. He spends most of his time at some distance from the house. sitting quietly in tree for hours at

An answering 'Che-we-e-e-e'' tells us the summons has been heard. and with series Of whistles, sounding near CT and nearer. he comes sailing grace fully over the tree-tops to the roof of the house. Then down he pitches to an outstretched hand, and gently he takes whatever is offered him. Apparently he is satisfied with the food which Is given him. for I have not been able to observe that he catches anything for himself.
 How long he will stay with us it re- mains to be seen, but I am inclined to think that. with his contented, gentle disposition, he will stay until the nest ing season, unless some gunner sees him on his roost, and blows him to bits as a proof of good ''marksmanship.

QUAINT FRENCH VILLAGE.

It is hardly credible that net more than thirty minutes from all the noise and hustle of Paris there lies a village that is so quiet, peaceful and so old fashioned that one would imagine ones self at least one hundred miles away ! from the gay capital. Here at this vil- lage, La Frette by name, and about fif- teen minutes walk from CormeiIIes, preparations for midday and evening repasts have to be made very early in the morning no such thing as a good shop is anywhere near. and the walk to Comedies is one which one considers twice before taking, for it is up steep and rough roads. So daily, butcher, baker and green grocer pass this quaint little place. and the villagers gather round the various tradesmen and make
 their purchases for the day.
 They also buy their clothes in this way, and may often be seen trying on
 bonnets, dresses and boots in the middle
 of the street. From a scenic point of view, all artists have agreed that there
 is no place to equal La Frette between
 Paris and Havre. To the left of the vil- lage is the park of Maisons Laffitte, and facing the park is SartrouviIle, while opposite lies the forest of St. Gcrnlain, in all its green splendor. To the right is Herblay, quite. an important place,
 whose church is visible for miles along
 the Seine. La Frette itself has the quaintest villagers possible. Many of them speak worse French than those of the Midi, and itis an event indeed when one takes journey up to the capital. They are thriftiest of the thrifty Only Ia short time ago one of the peasants gave his daughter no less a sum than 250,000 francs on her wedding day, and another is to receive the same amount on her approaching marriage. And yet this man, who must be worth 4,00O,- 900 or 5,000,0O0 francs at least, lives in a patched up old house, and digs in the fields from early morning till late at night,-The London Telegraph.
