that has caused no end of comment in the village
 The New York World says that during the past few months Jackson had been deriving a considerable income from the sale of hens, which he claimed to raise at his cabin. At the same time farmers began to miss many fat and valuable pull lets and capons. Suspicion attached to Jackson's method of raising" fowls, and when it was discovered that he hadn't even henhouse he was watched For several days the espionage was un- productive of results, but one night an amateur detective alleges he shadOwed his man to a hill back of Elder Thomas barn, where strange things happened.
 Jackson was leading by a chain what in the darkness the detective thought to be small dog, but which eventually turned out to be trained red fox. The fox, it is alleged, trotted along quietly behind it's master until it was liberated. when it made bee line for the elders henhouse and disappeared within. A few minutes later it reappeared and trotted up to Jackson with a dead hen in it's mouth. The watcher declares that Jackson took the fowl, put it under his coat and after due amount of betting sent the fox back for another hen.
 It was found, after searching many calf-bound and musty volumes, that no statute governing the case exists, and it was finally decided to notify Jackson to kill the fox or get out of town. Jack son will probably dispense with his pet. How he came to catch the animal and train him to hen-stealing ways is not known, but it is a fact that the man has wonderful influence over horses, dogs and cats and possesses a mania for teach ing them tricks. He has a hog which used to parade on his hind legs until he became too fat, and he makes great pets of two bullfrogs he has taught to croa.k in unison.

POWER OF A KIND VOICE.
Constant Watchfulness Is the Price of It, But There Is Nothing
 More Desirable.

There is no power of love so hard to get and keep as a kind voice A kind hand is deaf and dumb. It may be rough in flesh and blood, yet do the work of soft heart, and do 1t with a soft touch. But there is no one thing says the Detroit Free Press, that love so much needs as sweet voice to tell what it means and feels; and it is hard to get and keep it in the right tone. Che must start in youth and be on the watch night and day, at work and play, to get and keep voice that shall speak at all times the thoughts of a kind heart You often hear boys and girls say words at play with 9 quick. sharp tone, as if it were the snap of a whip. When one of them gets vexed you will hear voice that sounds as if it were made up e a snarl Of whine. It is often in mirth that one gets a voice that is sharp, anG sticks to him through life, and stirs up ill-will and grief, and falls like 2 drop of gall on the sweet joys of home. Use your guest voice at home. Watch il day by day as a pearl of great price. for it will be worth more to you in days to come than the best pearl hid in the sea- A kind voice is lark's song to hearth and home. It is light that sings as well as shines.

FOR REDNEss OF THE NOSE
Few Words of Advice and Some Simple Lotions Which May Prove
 Eficacious.

The three most common causes Of redness of the nose are indigestion, im- perfect circulation and insipid erysip- elatous inflammation. Unless indiges- tion has become chronic you will ob- serve that the nose is almost of normal color before breakfast, but after that meal and especially after Heavy dinner the rubicund color will begin to mani fest itself most clearly, says the Indian apolis Journal If this corresponds to your condition be more careful of your diet and especially avoid all wines and alcoholic drinks. Obtain a reliable remedy from your physician to correct the acidity of the stomach and any dis position toward constipation. Be sure that your clothing is comfortably loose and indulge in plenty of outdoor ex- ercise. To further excite the circu- lation give the entire body brisk rub bing with Turkish bath mitten before retiring and on getting out of bed in the morning, and by all means continue the cold water sponge baths in the m morn- ing. After few weeks you may venture to use quite cold water Keep the body expuisftely clean from frequent warm
 water baths and avoid anything which
 may excite the undesirable color, such as the harsh use of handkerchief or the thoughtless rubbing of the nose when talking. By restoring to internal and external remedies the trouble can, prob- ably, be readily corrected. To assist in allaying the redness have the following lotion prepared by druggist: Two ounces of glycerine, three ounces elder flower water, one drachm of muriate of ammonia, one-half drachm of tannic acid. Saturate piece of absorbent cot- ton with the lotion and bind on the nose before retiring. You may also bathe the nose several times day with this lotion.

PoLLYs FOURTH OF JULY.
Even Parrot Can Cry, "Hurrah for George Washington" at the
 Proper Time.

Polly was a middle-aged parrot, whose early days had been spent in the green forests of Yucatan in Cen tral America. had long tried to teach Polly to speak, and had taught her to say few short sentences
 About eight weeks before the Fourth of July I tried to teach Polly to say "Hurrah for George Washington" But she would not repeat it after me. Then I thought 1t might be too long so say it all at once-t1at she probably could not remember 1t all, so I tried to teach her to say 1t word for word. But no; she wouldn't say word of 1t.
 Yet she listened attentively when repeated 1t. Then got disgusted and gave it up till week or so before the Fourtls then tried to make her say it, but she would not listen to me now. So when the morning of the Fourth came I went out to Polly. She said: ttHello." I answered: Hello, Poll; can't you say 'Hurrah for George Washington for me?" Then she be- came furious and flew to the other side of her cage and would not look at me, so finished feeding her. went into my room and got my firecrackers, went outside, and was shooting my fireworks away when mother called to come in for luncheon. After luncheon I had to stay in the yard, so went and got Polly and hung her up on the veranda, put up the hammock and was reading St. Nicholas, when along the street comes the street band play ing '.Star-Spangled Banner"
 Then all of a sudden Polly became restless and cries as loud as she can: s'Hurrah for George Washington. This is the story of Polly's Fourth St. Nicholas.
