"Why you no work yourselff' was

man, touching his forehead. "But come

The Indian stood still for a moment,
apparently deep In thought. and then
he went off to kill the calf.
why don't you finish your job?7
presently asked the supervisor, seeing
the man stand with folded arms over
the unskinned, undressed carcass.

A white trader once succeeded In
selling a large quantity of gunpowder
to one of this tribe on the assurance
that 1t was a new kind that the white
man used for seed and If sown in es-
pecially prepared loan would yield an
amazing crop. Away went the Indian
to sow his powder and in his hope or
making money from his fellows was
careful not TO mention his enterprise.
When at last, however, he realized how
he had been duped he held his tongue
for a year or more until the trickster
had completely forgotten the occur
renee. Then he went to his hoaxer's
store and bought goods on credit
amounting TO a little more than the
price of the planted gunpowder. He
had the reputation of good payer, and
his scheme worked easily. When set

THE WILD BIRD.

TO study Him at Close Range.

10 study Him at Close Range.
For the greater part of the year fear
is the dominant instinct in the life of
nearly every wild bird or mammal
which has to contend with man or
overt enemies Of any kind But with
the periodic revival of the reproductive
functions profound changes occur not
only in the bodily parts, but in the In
stincts which govern their movements
and life. The parental instincts, which
are essential TO the generation and
successful rearing Of the young, begin
to assert themselves and by blocking
or supplanting the sense Of fear hold
them TO the focal point-the nest and
later the young-during the period
when parental care and even parental
sacrifice is necessary.
This wonderful parental instinct, or
series of instincts, rises gradually like
a fever, reaches n maximum and then
as slowly subsidies When at its height
every sense seems to be lost in an all
absorbing passion. This is the time to
approach the wild bird. We can watch
and record with pencil and camera ev-
cry act which occurs at the nest. We
can approach as near as we please and

THE PEPPERMINT STICK.
Some Words of Praise For the Candy
of Our Daddies.

OF Our Daddtes.
The old style stick candy has red
stripes running around 1t in spiral
form. The body of the stick is white.
1t is slightly favored with peppermint.
1t is very sweet and wholesome. Good
enough for king So cheap that the
poorest may have it. Six sticks for 8
cents. Enough TO last n family of six
two days. Break stick in two in the
middle, eat half of it after dinner or
after supper il preferred. That is
enough candy for one day. 1t is good
for children. Keep it In the house.
Away up in the pantry where the chill
dren can't help themselves. After din
ner is over take it down, break a stick
in two and pass 1t around. The chill
dren will like 1t immensely. They will
like it all the better for not being able
to get too much of 1t. Never let them
have all they want of it. A half stick
is enough, although Il whole stick
might be allowed occasionally. All the
fancy stun put up in boxes that cost a
dollar or more cannot equal the old
fashioned stick candy. Six sticks of
it contain more solid comfort and more
nutrition than a wagon load of cara
mels and painted bonbons. 1t is the
candy of our forefathers. Our grand
mothers used to eat it. Accept no 9th.

CURED BY SARCASM.
A Lesson In the Use of simple Terms
In Letter Writing.

A few months ago the son of q rail-
way director was through his fathers
influence given position of some i'm
portance ON large railway. He was
fresh from Cambridge, and in the Or
ders which he from time to time issued
TO the men under him always made use
of the longest, most unusual words
This habit led TO some rather expen-
siye blunders, and, the matter coming
before the general manager, he wrote
the young official the following letter:
I'm promulgating your esoteric cogi-
tations and in articulating your super
fetal sentimentalities and amicable phil
osophical or psychological observations
beware of platitudinous ponderosity
Let your conversational communication
possess a clarified conciseness, COM
paeted comprehensibleness, a coales-
cent consistency and a concatenated
eogency. Esehew all eonglomeration of
fiatulent garrulity, jejune babblement
and asinine affectation. Let your ex-
temporaneous descantings and unpre-
meditated expatiation have intelligibil-
lty and veracious vivacity, without rho
domontade or thrasonical bombast.
Sedulously avoid all polysyllabie pro
fundity, ventriloquial yerboslty and
vaniloquent vapidity. Shun double en-
tendre, prurient joeosity and pestifer-
Gus profanity, obscurant or apparent.
In other words. talk plainly, briefly,
naturally, sensibly, purely and truth
fully. Don't put on airs; say what you
mean; mean what you say. and don't
use big words"
The young official took the gentle
hint and changed his style.-London

ROOSEVELT GOOD ENOUGH.
The People Like the Presidents Dem

[JOhn s. Wise, of Virginia. ]

John S. Wise, of Virginia.
The people have seen more of Roose-
veIt-now as youth and cowboy and
sportsman and naval secretary and pO-
lice commissioner and soldier and gov
ernor and President to think themselves
fair judges of his ingram democratic and
republican personality. They believe he
would spring at and grapple with
usurper or a monarchist as fercely as
he would lassO q wild brOnchO or fight
a Spaniard. And they like his demo-
cratic ways, more democratic far in ac-
ton than the aristocratic and exclusive
ness of Parker, with his cOlorless demo
cratic platitudes.
Talk does not settle popular estimates
of public men. Thousands-nay, hun
tlreds of thousands-0f Democrats see
more real democracy in the vigorous, ag-
Qressye, wideawake Theodore Roosevelt
than in the cOlorless, secretiye Alton i.
Parker. The platforms are mighty near
together. The men are going to be q
more decisive feature of this ca npaign
than usual. And with my knowledge
of the American people and the things
which please their taste and fancy and
fill their ideals of what real American
manhood is l would, if I were a betting
man, stake all | had that Roosevelt will
be an easy winner.

Marshall p. Wilders most successful
joke of the season has a political tang
to it that is calculated to make even
a Democrat with any sense of it's eternal
aptness laugh. He tells of a teacher who
asks class of boys whether they would
like to be President of the United
States. Observing that amid the gen.
eral enthusiasm of assent one boy was
silent and disconsolate, she said:
whats the matter, Willie? Don't
you wish to be PRESIDENT"
"Yes'm, but | can't" replied the boy.
"How do you know you can't?' she
asked.

Cheap BarriCadess

1t is droll, the attitude of the Demo

1t has nominated candidates of mod

poets the people to support them, while
the Democratic National Committee and
Tammany are expected to buy or steal
success.

mr.. DAVIS CONTRIBUTION
Democratic Vice Presidential Candi-

Democratic Vice Presidential Candi-
date Draws the Line at $4,000.
A press telegram dated Cumberland,
Nd, Sept. Z, says:
1T is stated on reliable authority from
EllIins that the campaign contribution
of Henry G.. Davis will not be anything
like the amount the Democratic manag-
ers had expected. He has fixed the
amount for all purposes at $4,000 and
his brother, Col. Thomas b. Davis Of
Keyser w. Va, gave a similar amount.
Mrs. Elkins and Mrs. Arthur Lee,
daughters of Mr.. Davis, are known to
have objected to their father contribut-
ing large sums, and his son, John L.
Davis. is said to have done likewise.
-Four years ago John I. Davis spent
a large sum III four counties when his
Uncle Tom was a candidate for Con
gress, but no results were obtained. Col.
Davis being defeated by a large vote,
Since then the Davises have little faith
in politicians judiciously expanding
money"
There's some sense in the Davis fam
ily. it appears The ex-senator himself
has always succeeded in hanging on t6
his dollars.
How much better it will be to use
some of papa's money to buy pretty bon
nets and gowns with, than to throw them
to the mocking-tirds OF the Democratic
campaign committed
And all for nothing, too!
