Democratic County Convention.

The democrats held county conven-
ton at Hartford. Wednesday, the slim
attendance at which revealed the state
of forlorn hopelessness to which the Van
Buren, democracy is reduced.
DR.. Vaughan of Covert was chairman
of the convention, b. p. Bryan of Paw
Paw secretary. A delegation was chosen
to the state delegate convention, under
an expression of favor towards VIM. O..
Howard of Kalamazoo as one of the del
egates at large to the national convention.
A motion to endorse w. Il. Hearst for
president was cut off by motion to adj
journ, which carried by a vote of "a to
IA, the latter number more than repre-
senting the Hearst strength.
Just think of it! Thirty-eight dele
gates in a county conventions Verify,
the democracy is not mighty force in

Keep the Balance Up.

1t has been truthfully said that any
disturbance of the even balance OF
health causes serious troable. Nobody
can be too careful to keep this balance
up. When people begin to lose appetite
dence brings on sickness, weakness OF
debility. The system needs tonic
Graves it, and should not be denied it
and the best tonic of which we have any
knowledge is Hoods Sarsaparilla. What
this medicine has done in keeping heal
thy people healthy, in keeping up the
even balance of health, gives it the same
distinction as preventive that it enjoys
as cure. Its early use has illustrated
the wisdom of the old saying that a
stitch in time saves nine. Take Hoods
for appetite, strength and endurance.

TOLD AGE BY HIS HORNS.
Incident of the 6oyhood Of the Late
w. E. Gladstone.

John Morley, a few days after the
publication of his Life of Gladstone, "
told in speech at Sheffield a story
of Mr. GladstOne's boyhood
THE lad" he said was in the
country. A farmer was showing him
over his estate. The farmer would
pause before each field TO describe 1t,
and before every COW, horse and pig
he would make brief biographical
address.
Finally they came to a small field
that contained a large black bull.
THAT is a fine bull there, Master
William, said the farmer. A very
fine, strong, two-year-old bull
Two years old? said the boy.
Ives, two years, sir.
How do you tell its age?'
Why by its horns
The little boy. frowned. He paused
moment. Then his countenance
cleared.
All he said, by its horns. | see

RISKS OF FEATHERED TRIBE
Birds Liable to as Many Accidents
as Other Creatures.

Birds Liable to as Many Accidents
as Other Creatures.
OF all creatures birds are most ex-
empt from liability to accident, yet
they not infrequently lose their lives
in most unexpected ways. Once above
trees and buildings they have the whole
upper air free Of every obstacle and
though their flight sometimes equals
the speed Of railroad train they have
little to fear when we'll above ground.
Collision with other birds seems scarce
ly possible, but it sometimes occurs.
When a covey Of quail are flushed &C.
casionally two birds will collide, at
times meeting with such force that
both are stunned. Flycatchers DART
ing ut the same insect will now and
then come together, but not hard
enough to injure either bird. In the
English papers few years ago rare
accident was recorded-a heron had
spiked itself on one Of the pointed iron
arms of cross surrounding a church
steeple. Even the smallest and most
wonderful of all fliers, the humming
bird, may come to grief in accidental
ways, as was recently shown by the
case of tiny bird of the ruby throated
variety which became entangled in the
hooks Of a burdock bur and died pris-
oner before help could free it.
Young phnbes sometimes become en-
tangled in the horsehairs which are
used in the lining of the nest. When
they are old enough to fly and attempt
to leave they are held prisoners or left
dangling from the nest. When mink
traps are set in the snow in winter
owls frequently fall victims, mice be-
ing scarce and the bait tempting.
Lighthouses are perhaps the cause Of
more accidents to birds than any other
obstacle they encounter on their noe
turnal migrations north and south.
Many hundreds are found dead at the
base of such structures. The sudden
glare is so confusing and binding as
they shoot from intense darkness into
its circle of radiance that they are
completely bewildered and dash head
long against the thick panes Of glass.
| Telegraph wires are another menace
to low flying birds, especially those
which, like quail and woodcock, enjoy
whirlwind and attain great speed
within few yards. Such birds have
been found cut almost in two by the
force with which they struck the WIRE
| The elements frequently catch birds
unawares and overpower them. a
sudden wind or storm will drive coast
flying birds hundreds of. miles out. tn

vator Operators Of the North.
west Are In League to Rob

Sensational charges were made In
the United States senate by Mr.. Nc
Cumber of North Dakota, who, in urg-
Ing the passage of his bill for federal
commission to grade wheat. made
statements rejecting seriously on the
operators Of grain elevators in all the
cities Of the Northwest.
1de said the farmer was being robbed
OF millions of dollars every year by the
elevator men by false inspection and
grading Of wheat.
SPECIFIC instances were cited where
grain came in as having low grade or
no grade at all and went out of the
elevator as No. northern. The farm
er was paid for cheap, low grade
wheat, and the buyer paid for the hest
on the market.
He charged that the Official record
OF the elevators at Duluth and Supe-
rior would show that during the past
ten years 26,s66,O0O bushels more
wheat went out of the elevators than
came IN.
This. he said, was simply dishonest
weighing, and by 1t the growers of the
grain had been robbed Of $4,000, 900.
One elevator at Superior was said
to have made clear profit of $780,
600 in one month by manipulation Of
the grading of wheat.
