great many that utter loud sounds.

dwells in salt water and is found all
along the United States coast from
Massachusetts to Florida. It is called
the drum because of the deep, BOOM

The drum feeds by preference on
oysters and mussels, and when a
school of the big fellows is gathered
in a shallow bay on the oyster beds it
often is possible on still night to hear
their deep booming plainly.
Another salt water fish, the beauti-

that of big bullfrog.

A Few "Eastery'' Remarks About
Them.

The only place where birds won't
lay eggs is in the water. They lay
them in trees, on the ground, on the
sides of cliffs, in holes dug in the sand,
on top of punches of swaying grasses,
in chimneys. and amid ice and snow;
and some of them, like the mergansers
and divers, get pretty near to laying
eggs in the water, for they lay them
on little floating islets of driftwood
and floating stuff in swamps.
Wild ducks lay their eggs among
the reeds in ground so low and damp
that floods often destroy thousands of
them. Gulls lay eggs on rocks and
sand without attempting to cover
them. The ostrich and other desert
dwelling birds make a shallow bur-
row in the hot sand The Northern div
ers and penguins sit on their eggs al

another fish with a voice. He utters
a deep, loud "quawk" when he is
caught and repeats it every time he is
touched.
The little puffer or swell fish, which
has the ability to puff itself up into a
perfectly round ball. makes a hoarse,
chuckling sound as he does it. At the
same time he grinds his sharp teeth
so that it can be heard four or five feet
away.
The rabbit fish, the trunk fish and
the cowfish. all armed with prominent
teeth, grind and gnash them like the
swell fish.
The ugly skate curls itself up after
being caught, and gruns, groans and
gasps like a human being.

The Butter Boys of Porto Rico.

Every morning the people of the
large town of Porto Rico are awaken
ed by little merchants crying "but-
ter! Butter of the country!"
These are the butter boys who go
trotting in each morning as soon as
the tropical dawn begins, to sell the
native butter which has been made
by their mothers the day before.
Each little merchant carries a plate
on his head, balancing it expertly like
a juggler, and never bothering to
steady it with his hand whether he is
running or making change.
The plate contains about fifty or
sixty pats of the stuff. 1t isn't very
good, although it seems delicious to
the Porto Ricans, because their eli
mate is not adapted for keeping butter
well; so they are accustomed to an
article that would seem rancid and
strong to the luckier persons in the
North.
The pats" are very small weigh
ing less than an ounce each, and they
sell for about cent. The customers
OF the butter boys usually buy just

most on top of snowdrifts or ice fields.
Many of the song sparrows lay their
eggs in nests that hang precariously
TO the very tops of slender grasses.
The English sparrow will utilize any
thing. There is a record of a sparrow
having laid eggs in nook just under
the top of wagon, and thereafter,
as the wagon was driven around
on business, the impudent bird sat in
it calmly and Matched out its young.
The owl will lay it's eggs even while
the snow is coming down, sometimes;
and young owls have been found with
snow all heaped around the entrance
to their home.
Many varieties of birds are so care
less about their eggs that a big pro-
portion of them is lost each year
through rolling out of the insecure
nests. Other birds are just the reverse
and will fight snake beast and man

CORRESPONDENCE


Mrs E D Barnard returned home last
Saturday night from visit of several
weeks with her daughter, Mrs Bertha
Lees at st Joseph, Mo. Mr. Barnard ard
Mrs Blanche West met her in Chicago
and accompanied her home.
Miss Cora Scofeld, daughter of Mr..
md Mrs Clinton Scofeld, and Albert
RAIDER of Edgerton, were married at the
brides home on Tuesday, Oct %. Upon
their return from st Louis they expect
to reside in Boscobel.
While walking on the right of way of
the Northwestern line, Franz Haberman
was killed Tuesday night. From reports
CLEANED from the railroad crew. the sup
position is that the man was walking
towards this place from the north in the
night and when about two miles north,
seeing the midnight passenger approach
ing, stepped to one side and in front of
an extra freight which was coming from
the north on the double track. The de-
ceased was apparently a man of 35 yrs;
baker by trade and belonged to union
in Cleveland, 0, was member of good
standing, and had been for a week past
working in a boarding house of a
train crew. Whether he has family or
not no further indication is shown. The
remains are awaiting reports from the
union to which he belongs before final
disposition is made.

Buying from Abroad.

The less the United States. through
a protective tariff, imports Of the
things that its own labor at home can
manufacture just as we'll as foreign
ers, the more it is able to import of
necessarles and luxuries that cannot be
purchased at home. The consumption
of coffee per capita in the United
States which in 1890 was eight
pounds, is now twelve pounds. Our
imports of sugar, teas, spices, silks,
laces, ETC., have increased consider
ably during the last eight years. With
the American workingman sure OF
a good home market for what he
produces, it goes almost without
saying that he will have enough
money to buy for himself foreign
luxuries that he could not dream Of
having in Democratic times.

Deerfield

XII Teisberg has sold his 14-acre crop
of tobacco to Eisenlohr of Philadelphia
for 10 cents per pound.
Power in an auto does not count when
the engine does not work. This was
plainly shown when one of the machines
used by the governors party, a l2-horse
power runabout, became stranded north
of Old Deerfield and an 8-horse Cadillac
pulled it in in good trim, barring the mud
with which it was covered from tire to
tonneau. The machine which became
stranded carried Col John Hannah and
Chauffeur King of Whitewater. A car
rage was sent for Col Hannah, and at
o'clock the stranded auto was pulled in
by democrat farmers team CD.;
Between 2 and 3 o'clock Saturday
morning burglars entered the general
merchandise store of G Shernecker at
South Leeds, secured some jewelry and
blew up the safe which contained val
liable papers and about 81 in small
change. The report awakened the Sher-
necker family, who live just across the
way from the store. Mr. Shernecker
hurried out and called for Mr. Krause
before giving chase. In the meantime
the burglars secured the change and
started to run down the road where they
had previously taken one of Mr. Sher-
necker's horses and buggy. Mr. Sher-
necker and Mr. Krause gave chase, but
the burglars reached the horse and bug
gy in safety and made good their escape.

DEMOCRATIC INDIGESTION
Conntry Has Suffered Because of 1t When
That Party Was in Power.

Whenever the Democratic party has
had chance at power its course has
been like that of the donkey in the
fable, which died of starvation while
trying to decide which to eat first, its
oats or it's hay.
1t was this way when Buchanan
was president, and could not make up
his mind whether or not to suppress
by force the secession movement in
the south, and so postponed having
anything done until Lincoln could be-
come president This dilatory policy
was largely responsible for the enor-
nous cost in money and lives of sup
pressing the rebellion.
When Cleveland was president the
country suffered quite as much from
agoniZing uncertainty as to what the
Democrats were really going to do as
from the actual evils that they did do
On neither the tariff nor on the money
question was there any unity of opin
ion amongst the Democrats. and never
was it possible to forecast just what
would be done.

marked with places where the deadly
blight of treason has blasted the cOun-
sells of the houses in their might" The
colossal failure of this bill to produce
enough revenue to run the govern
ment, as we'll as the general blow it
inflicted on the industries of the coun-
try, thereby driving thousands of men
out of employment, was in sharp con-
trast to the success of the Dingley bill
in not only producing enough revenue
but in giving employment to thousands
of people out Of work. and in restoring
good times to the country.
