A FARMERS TAME GROUSE
Wild Bird Becomes So Accustomed to
Man It Follows Him on
the Road.

In August, 1902, while he was pick
ing blackberries, Mr. Rand, a Vermont
farmer, discovered a flock of seven
young grouse about half-grown. The
first of the next October, while Mr..
Rand was picking apples. he was sur
prised to see a ruffed grouse walk out
of the bushes and come under the tree
where he was at work Bird-Lore tells
the story:
The bird did not appear afraid. but
much interested in what the farmer
was doing Ii walked round him and
observed him from all sides, and final
ly hoped on the wall. as il to super
intend the apple gathering. The bird
stayed with the farmer at least two
hours, and when he went away he lefs
it under the tree.
I'm the following spring, while he
was working in the field. Mr.. Rand
noticed 4 grouse following his farm
wagon. The bird was undoubtedly his
old friend. seeking to renew the ac-
quaintance of the preceding fail The
grouse followed the wagon perhaps so
rods, until she came in sight of the
farm buildings. There she stopped
and waited for the wagon to come
back again. and then accompanied the
team down to the field. The grouse
repeated this performance for several
weeks In fact. almost every time the
farm wagon made its appearance in
the field the bird was on hand to es-
cOrt the team back and forth.
AS the grouse continued to grow
less shy. Mr. Rand conceived the idea
of making her tanner by Offering her
food and talking 10 her. The bird sell
dom ate any of the food offered her.
Only once did she deign TO take a few
kernels of corn into her mouth BY
much coaxing. Mr.. Rand finally sue
ceeded in touching the bird After
that the grouse showed very little fear
When Mr. Rand called Chicken
chickeer the bird would come out Of
the woods and sit upon his knee
From his knee she would fly to his
shoulder. and then to the ground
THE woods which the grouse fire.
Quents are composed of a marginal
growth of willow. alder. ash and ma
pie, not more than ten rods wide, along
a small stream. On the other side is a
cultivated field. A much-traveled
highway passes within ten rods The
bird is frequently seen by travellers.
In fact. on one occasion she was picked
up by two ladies passing in carriage,
and was taken to neighboring farm
house This confidence in human be-
ings may some day lead to her death.
To guard against this, however. Mr..
Rand has conspicuously posted her
haunts, and his wishes are respected
by the sportsmen."

NEW YORK ALL RIGHT.

It does not look much like New
York state Is going republican, ac-
cording to the New York Sun. which
in a recent issue says:
Reports received at democratic
state headquarters from Broome, To
ga, Chenango and other counties In the
western part Of the state are to the
eect that the friends If Senator Plat
in that section are determined that the
Odell state ticket shall be beaten.
These reports indicate that the friends
Of h senator are intensely bitter
against the man who repaid with in
gratitude and political treachery the
party leader who took him off an ice
wagon and made him governor Of the
state"
New York state. outside Of the city
OF Greater New York, IL always re-
publican. In order to carry the state
the democrats must have such a ma
jority In the counties Of New York,
Kings. Queens and Richmond as win
overcome the tremendous republican
vote that rolls down from the up coun-
try to Harlem river.
If there be any truth in the state
ment Of The Sun, then Mr.. Higgins is
surely defeated. The three counties
above mentioned were overwhelmingly
republican two years ago when Odell
defeated Coler for governor. In that
election the republican majority in
these counties was nearly eight thou
sand. Every n of them. as do al
most all of the rural counties Of that
state, went republican by a large ma
iority. Now the tide has turned.
The honest, sturdy yeomanry and
the factory men in New York have
become disguised with republican
bossism and have determined to throw
it OF. Now is h time for the DEM
ocratic party-the party Of rule by the
people and not by the money bags and
their political henchmen-to gain con
troll of affairs of the countdy.
We look for the state Of New York
to redeem her character and return to
the democratic ranks.

Our friend Watson of Georgia has
not much love for our quandom popu-
list leader, Marion Butler, who has
gone over to the populists' enemy-or
ally. We do not understand why Mr..
Watson should have so many words
of praise for MI. Roosevelt, the leader
Of the republicans and at the same
time be so abusive Of Mr.. Butler who
is an humble private in the ranks OF
Mr.. Roosevelt's followers. In regard
to Mr.. watson's feelings toward Mr..
Marion Butler we clip the following
from the Charlotte Chronicle:
II Marion Butler should succeed in
breaking INTO the populist party again.
there would be a high jinks OF a time,
hat is, If Mr.. Watson should be alive
and on his feet. Speaking Of Marion
Butler at Newton yesterday, Mr.. Wat
son said:
IT wired my people that I wanted
to plant, water and harvest no more
crops for that traitor to sell, and tina,
if they let him in I would come off the
dictionary soldier would have felt about
Benedict Arnold. If, after his treason,
he had asked to be admitted again into
the American army. A spy outside the
lines is not dangerous; the harm comes
from h spy in the camp. Butler is
entirely lacking in principle"
That is pretty strong but it cannot
be denied has Butler displayed but
little gratitude to the populist party
for the ride it gave him on it's back.
