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, 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. 1t walked round him and
observed him from all sides, and final
ly hoped on the wall, as if to super
intend the apple gathering. The bird
stayed with the farmer at least two
hours, and when he went away he left
it under the tree.
"In the following spring, while he
was working in the field, Mr.. Rand
noticed a grouse following his farm
wagon The bird was undoubtedly his
old friend, seeking to renew the ac-
Quaintance of the preceding fall. 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 it's 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 to her. The bird sell
dom ate any of the food offered her.
Only once did she deign to take 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 'Chickee!
chickee!' 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 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 a 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.

tobacco or coffee, life is too short. II
is hard enough to win the good thinHs,
without any sort of handicap, so man
is certainly fool trader when he
trades strength, health, money, and the
good things that come with power, for
the half-asleep condition of the drug
GER with the certainty of sickness and
disease ahead"
1t is a matter each individual must de-
eide for himself He can be a leader and
semi-god If he will, or he can go along
through life a drugged clown, cheap
newer of wood or carrier of water"
Certain it is that while the Great
Father of US all does not seem to mind"
if some Of his children are foolish and
stupid, he seems to select others (per-
haps those he intends for some special
work. and allows them to be threshed
and castigated most fearfully by these
Jewelers."
If man tries flirting with these lev
elers awhile, and gets few slaps as
hint, he had better take the hint or
a good solid blow will follow.
When man tries to live upright,
clean, thrifty sober, and undrugged,
manifesting as near as he knows what
the Creator intends he should, happi-
ness, health and peace seem to come to
him. Does it pay?
This article was written to set people
thinking, to rouse the God within"
for every highly organized man and
woman has times when they feel some
thing calling from within for them to
press to the front and "be about the
Fathers business" don't mistake it;
the spark of the Infinite is there and it
pays in every way, health, happiness,
peace, and even worldly prosperity, to
break off the habits and strip clean for
the work cut out for US.
1t has been the, business of the writer
to provide practical and easy way for
people to break away from the coffee
habit and be assured of a return to
health and all of the good things that
brings, provided the abuse has not gone
too far, and even then the cases where
the body has been rebuilt on basis Of
strength and health run into the thou
sands.
1t is an easy and comfortable step to
stop coffee instantly by having we'll
made Postum Food Coffee served rich
and hot with good cream, for the color
and flavor is there. but none of the caf-
feline or other destroying elements
of ordinary coffee.
On the contrary the most powerful
rebuilding elements furnished by Ma
ture are in Postum and they quickly
set about repairing the damage. Seldom
is it more than days after the change
is made before the old stomach or bowel
troubles or complaints of kidneys, heart,
head or nerves show unmistakable evil
dence of getting better and ten days
time changes things wonderfully.
Literally millions of brain-working
Americans today use Postum, having
found the value and common sense in
the change.

well as more gorgeous paSSementerle
and gimp.
A lot of coarse lace is being used
with the fne-faced cloth dresses, chiefly
Maltese or yak, dyed to match the
frock in color For instance, bright
shade OF navy-faced cloth is made with
bolero showing insertions OF medal
lions of heavy Maltese lace, dyed to
the same shade, and decorated with
velvet buttons in different sizes; the
bolero is edged with little chenille balls
and is fitted tightly into the back with
a deeply swathed corsage OF velvet,
falling loose in the front over waist
coat of shaded blue and green velvet
embroidery al a soupcon of lace. The
skirt is prettilly pleated in at the hips
and is decorated with buttons round
the feet where it is very full; it is
worn over a soft brocade petticoat.
Then l have seen brown corduroy
cloth, made in plain but very smart
tailor style; the sleeves are very grace
full and not quite tight. The cuffs and
reyers are OF copper-colored embroid-
ery. The BASQUE is full and is longer in
with brown braid, three rows of which
appear on the plain but long, full skirt.
With this is worn a delightful tricorne
hat in brown chenille, decorated with
shaded autumnal roses to tone with the
aiIet of the same faded brown and cop
per tones.
| must tell you of an afternoon tot
Iette de yisite in olive green cloth; the
skirt is trimmed with graduated bands
of brown and green tafteta; this is
worn with a bolero OF cloth, decorated
with the bands of talfeta, loose in the
front and fitting at the sides and back
into a tight, beautifully shaped band of
green suede; beneath this bolero is a
dainty blouse of cambria and the hat
is of shaded velvet and plumes.
Beautiful brocades will be seen in
the toilette de visite and taffeta is by
no means passe. We shall see fur
trimmings later on, especially on the
new paletots.
| Pauuin is making a special feature
of beautiful stoles OF silver fox, and
this is so becoming fur Lovely DO
Ieros are made of chinph1lla and Direc-
| toire coats in velvet are trimmed with
sable and ermine.
There are veEs few capotS worn; but
small eighteenth century hats seem to
daily becoming more popular, with big
plumes at the side, while large Direc-
toir4 hats will accompany the gowns
OF that period.
Beautiful models of Louis XVI. bro
cades are favorite evening dresses and
I Worth is showing some wonderful ex-
amples in bright and faded shades of
vieux rose.
The Princess robe will, l think, gain
favor both in cloth and velvet.
AS a rule the Partisan, for the street
at any rate, likes quiet colorings and
neat dressing. The neat tailor-made
coats with short basques show quite
plain sleeves with velvet collars and
cuffs. There are many pleated skirts
worn, and these are little longer than
those of last winter. Tweed and plaid
skirts are to be seen in the Bots in the
morning, with coats of plain cloth to
harmonic in tone. Carriage wraps are
gorgeous, and here chinchilla will be
tremendously used in conjunction with
painted chiffon, beautiful velvet and
priceless laces. ANNETTE GIRVY.

Six Doctors Failed.

South Bend, Ind, Oct. "a (SpeciaD.-
After suffering from Kidney Disease for
three years; after taking treatment from
six different doctors without getting re-
lief, Mr.. j. 0. Laudeman, of this place,
found not only relief but speedy and
complete cure in Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Speaking of his cure, Mr.. Laudeman says:
Yes, [ suffered from Kidney Trouble
for three years and tried six doctors to no
good. Then took just two boxes of Dodd's
kdneys but aaVe m 1e{ better o bess GpT n y
aral. Of course l recommended Dodd's
Kidney Pills to others and know a number
now who are using them with good results"
Mr.. Laudeman's case is not an excep-
ton. Thousands give similar experiences.
For there never yet was case of Kidney
Trouble from Backache to Bright's Disease
that Dodd's Kidney Pills could not cure.
They are the only remedy that ever cured
Bright's Disease.

cuff; and IN direct contrast | find some
where else beautiful mode with - Tu-
dor sleeve ending in big puff at the
elbow. The truth of it is the best cOu-
turieres are taking advantage of the
revival of historical dressing and are
adapting various modes to suit their
individual clients and thus one firm
says one thing and a second another.
And on the whole we see really exquis-
ite productions.
| think all are agreed on one point,
and this is that faced cloth holds a
foremost place on the list of fashion
able materials. A week ago at the
races there were still few summary
fabrics to be seen, but light, finefaced
cloths struck the real note of autumn.
Many of these cloths are unlined, and
fall by the weight of their folds; but
such a tremendous amount of stuff is
put into some skirts that it is neces-
sary to use cloths of the lightest tex
ture. The many pleatings, tuckings
and ruchings used on these cloth
dresses are specimens of fine hand
stitchery; if they were not very well
arranged they would be clumsy in the
extreme.
Velvet and soft chenille balls and silk
buttons are among the favOrite trim
mings and dainty little taffeta en-
broideries are used for waistcoats as

PITY THE POOR HEATHEN.
Mr.. Spinks Was Anxious to Get In
His Contribution on
Time.

Rev. Mr. Osborne, according to the New
ark IN: J: News, tells this story on one of
his Pensioners:
Company came to spend Sunday with the
Splnks family. Nevertheless, and in spite
OF pouring rain, Mr.. Spinks prepared for
church.
Surely, you're not going" said Mrs.
Spinks.
Surely, am" replied Mr. Spinks.
''The pastor is booked for his annual mis-
sionary sermon and | wouldn't miss being
there for anything"
But it's storming dreadfully."
Let it storm"
and your guests-what will they think
if you run away and leave them?"
Let them think what they please. I'm
going to church"
I've never seen you so interested in mis-
sions before" said Mrs. Spinks
just between you and me, returned Mr..
Spinks, 81 don't care hang for missions.
But the annual collection for the heather
will be taken to-day, and if | put a FIVE
dollar bill in the plate it'll be all right. But
if stay away, the pastor will drop into
my office some day this week and pull my
leg for ten

1t is longer than that of last winter,
but still takes the upward tilt at the
oack.
We have altered the corset but little
of late; we have not heightened the
waist at the back, though it is long in
front in accordance with the court
bodice.
To revert to the illustration in the
hat I am one of the pretty and popu-
lar simple shapes which do admirably
for many occasions. This hat, which
is in pale French gray felt, shows the
new high crown, and is mounted on a
deep velvet bandeau, which is not,
however, visible. 1t is trimmed with
soft taffeta ribbon, arranged in loops,
and an extraordinarily chic note is
struck by a cluster of velvet grapes
The arrangement of this ribbon does
equally well on straw as on felt, but
it is too late to purchase straws now,
and I only suggest it for doing up an
old hat. The hat ske4ched is pretty
and becoming, and it's simple lines de-
note good taste.
The blouse shows a pretty and
modish design made up in green velvet

Wrong Department.

A prominent physician tells this
story at the expense of the modern
craze for specialization in the medical
profession. A poor woman went TO a
dispensary to ask for aid for her little
son, who had had one of his fingers
smashed. At the first room where she
applied she was told by curt attend
ant that the boy could not be treated
there.

The magistrate was one of those
