A Ribulous Old Crow.

From the Jackson Clarion-Ledger.
Farmers of the Browns Wells, n. j..
vicinity declare that the town shelters
the most knowing crow that ever aug UP
newly planted corn. and lest somc un-
knowing person might go cunning for him
they are guarding him zealousiy. In ap-
pearance he looks exactly like any other
black crow, but he isn't. He has 4 name
Jim, and an owner Job Stephenson. who
says he has not yet had an offer Of money
enough to buy him.
Jim was a member of a big flock that
made lot of trouble for the farmers.

bad company and went to live on Ste

learned that the bird meant well and fed
him Jim accepted the coinplimsn. and
has never changed his head quarters.
Every morning the crow accompanies
the men to Whites cranberry bog, flying
along with them n distance of two miles.
While they work, Jim amuses himself
in the manner which has given him his
local reputation.
His pet diversion is picking the pockets
of the coats thrown off by the men at
work, and there is no in trying to
hide a coat from him. One man recently
thought he would fool the bird, and hid
his coat in a corn stack. Jim found il

What he does with his plumber is
mystery. He hides it somewhere, but no
cne has yet been able 20 locate his
treasure-house.
Jim is also an inebriate at heart. al
though he seldom has a chance TO in

THE SHAH OE PERSIA,S HAREM.

When the embassy its way from London to
Teheran to present on behalf of King Edward to his
great and good friend the Shah of Persia the Order of
the Garter gets back to the British capital it NAV be
possible TO sift the truth of many stories that
have recently been circulated concerning the Shahs
harem The story that has most persstently gone the
rounds is TO the effect that after his return from
Europe the Persian monarch imbued with the spirit
of reform and that he weeded from his harem of 700
damses 10 less than 1910 Each of these the chroni
cler asserts given the 81 O00 and they went
out TO be quickly married, it being considered great
honor to have wife from the royal harem. That the
Shah had time in Paris and Berlin Vienna and
other cities of the continent admitted but that he
became dismayed at feminine fralty and his own
weakness the story indicated is gravely doubted On
the other hand is declared no ever had so
large harem 100 women. and the notorious

Canton Markets

The weakness in the butter market
is surprising considering the season of
the year. The Wholesale price of
creamery is now 26 cents, while even
in Cleveland the price paid for first
class country butter is only II and 22
cents to the producters. 1t Is the low
price of creamery that has forced the
country product down. In Canton
there is tendency toward lower
prices, but 1t is thougit that the retail
rate will not go below the quotation
in this market column, which is Is
cents for good.
Dealers complain that 1t is the GUS
tom to pay the one price for all
grades OF country butter, and that
whether 1t is good or bad there is no
difference made. The result Is that
in many instances they pay the full
market price for stun that they can
not sell except for grease. Some mer-
chants insist that from this on there
will be grading OF butter purchased.
