Congressman Talbot and the Hawk
In the course of the campaign many stories
are told of the candidates. This one is at the
expense of Congressman ]. Fred @. Talbot :
| When boy Mr.. Talbot spent great deal OF
his time at his grandfather's home, where
there were many pigeons. A large hawk got
into the habit Of going to the place and each
! day taking one pigeon. Mr.. Talbott's grand
father tried in every way to trap the hawk
| and finally told young Talbot that he would
give him $25 if he killed the hawk. The
| grandson lay in wait many days, but could
not catch sight of the thieving bird, yet each
day pigeon was missed. One day Talbot was
riding to his mothers place when he perceived
large hawk fly to tree with rabbit. He
hurried to the house, got gun and killed the
robber Now for the $25.
Back to bis grandfather's home he rode and
bid the hawk. Going to the house, he got an
other gun and when in the barnyard fired two
shots. He then got his dead hawk and car
ried it to the house. The grandparent was
pleased and at once produced the $25 Just as
the present Congressman was explaining how
he shot the hawk the same visitor that had
given so much trouble alighted in the yard
and took off another pigeon. The grandson
at once intimated that there must be two
hawks and asked his grandparent if he would
offer another S25. but the senior Talbot de-
clined. Odd Tales in Baltimore Sun.

Brown. 1--WE get these reports two or three
times year, and often get inquiries from Chica-
go about the same thing" said Mr.. Brown this
off Init horo fc Of rr,fb
the report and l wish you would deny the
story and say once and for all that it is not so
and that there is not the slightest ground
for such an assertion. 1t is utterly absurd"

could find the man who periodically circulates
the report he would make it hot for him, be-
cause his mother is much annoyed.-BdtttnlOTe

come out sound and fresh, with no indication
of sprouting and the vitality unimpaired, even
so late as the Let of June. 1t is important,

storage room should not fall below 35 degrees,
