SPARR0WS ON A SPREE.
Lady Saturated Wheat With
Whisky and Fed it to
the Birds.
rllapcretown tN.lJ NALL


A lady residing in Hagerstown,
Md, has a large martin box on the
end Of the house, and the sparrows
have taken possession and held it all
winter. Evidently they had come to
regard their title as perfect, for
when the martins were being ex-
pected man climbed a ladder and
cleaned their nests out, finding
the boxes filled to the cell
ings with twigs and feathers.
They raised terrific appeal and
lined the fence near by in excited
protest. They went back and be-
gan rebuilding, having evidently
come to the conclusion. 1.-The man was
only a wondering mischance. The
martins came and found them build,
and where Disguised, but they did
not fight, being only two advance
couriers. They went back and re-
ported what they had found to the
slow armies coming north.
The lady, failing to dispense the
sparrows, by a happy inspiration
thought to slay them. So she soak
ed wheat in whisky for two days and
then sprinkled the fence and grass
near the box with the loaded wheat.
The sparrows pounced on the grain
and appeared to find it hilariously
appetizing. They simply fell over
one another for it.
Four martins arrived and found
the telegraph wires and fence and
box perches in possession of maudlin
gangs of debauched sparrows, who
chased them in riotous abandon from
roof to roof and wire to wire. The
martins were worse than annoyed
they were simply astounded. They
and the cackling sparrows
tumbled to the grass to take another
nip of the marvellous wheat the juicy
fragrance, and they kept it up'until
they could find no more. Then they
flew to the box and went to sleep.
The lady who acted upon the pre-
scription thinks the adviser made
some error about the ingredients.

GREAT INVENTION.
Gun That Shoots a Liquid That
Will Stop Runaway
Horses,

Prof Treawell Merritt gave an
exhibitation here recently Of hrs in
vention for stopping runaway horses
and soon sold Is of the machines at
SO each, says Leisure Minnesota
Correspondent to the st. Paul Dis
patch.
1t consists of a spring gun which
is fastened to the front part of the
wagon or buggy, in easy reach of
the hand, and in case the horse or
horses start to run, the gun is seized,
drawn from its water and dust proof
holder, and, pointing it at the run
away animal or animals, the driver
discharges rapidly from the gun a
number of pointed darts which prick
the skin of the horses and instantly
paralize their muscles with a drug
that acts very quickly, but not at all
permanently, and does not injure
the horses at all.
The exhibition given by the pro-
fessor was very interesting. He
borrowed a vicious, runaway horse
from Peter Wedgewood and hitched
it to a buggy, and then, seating him
self in the buggy. with a gun in
place, he whipped the horse into a
run on Main street and then threw
the line out on the ground. The
horse is a large, powerful animal,
and run with terrific spend for hun
dred feet or more. Then the pro-
fessor reached forward, took up the,
gun and shot two little darts into the
horse, which staggered forward few
steps and the stopped. standing up
right but with muscles relax and
head dropping. 1t was about ten
minutes before he recovered, and
then he was as wild and vicious as
ever.
Prof Merritt gives with each ma
chine facsimile permit from the
Humane Society for their use, and
his invention is certain to prove of
great benefit to the human race.
Henry Trottwein and Orlando
Shadbolt each bought gun, and,
when they were going home, started
in to have race. Their respective
wives seized the guns and shot the
horses with the darts, and the race
had to be postponed for a time.

Chance for Young Men.

Three Indian reservations in Mon
tana, Wyoming and Utah are slated
for opening before the fall of 1906.
A young man who gets claim on
either of these reservation is indie
pendent for life. There are no such
opportunities for land getting in the
East, where every foot of ground
has been under private ownership
for years, and where land is held
at a high valuation. The young man
in the East finds his opportunities
confined to those of business, and
even in this there is much more COM
petition to meet than in the West,
where the thrush of a new popula-
ton makes new opportunities.
From the present outlook the next
ten years will be the most prosper
ious and progressive decade the
West has ever known. Fortunate
will be the Eastern young men who
are wise enough to take Horace
Greeley's advice at this day and to
grow up with the growing country.

At the close OF the Revolutionary
War Andrew Jackson went to Burke
county, North Carolina, and applied
to Waightstill Avery to take him as
a boarder at his country home and in
struct him as a law student. Colonel
Avery told him he had just moved to
the place and had built nothing but
cabins, and could not grant his re-
quest. jackson went TO Salisbury,
studied law there and settled at Jones'
boro. until the new county of Davidson
with Nashville as the county seat
was established, Nashville becoming
subsequently the capital Of Tennessee.
Several years later Avery appeared
in lawsuit at Jonesboro as opposing
counsel to Jackson, and ridiculed the
position taken by Jackson, VINO had
preceded him In the argument. Jack
son considered the argument Insulting
and sent him the challenge. Colonel
Avery was raised a Puritan He grad
uated at Princeton with the highest
honors in 1866, and remained there
a year as tutor, under the celebrat-
ed Jonathan Edwards and the famous
Dr. Witherspoon, who signed the
Declaration of independence as a rep

was a Presbyterian, and was opposed
on principle to duelling, but he so far
yielded to the imperious custom Of the
time as to accept the challange and

ward Governor) Adair, of Kentucky,
as his second. After the usual prelim-
inaries he allowed Jackson TO shoot
at him, but did not return the fire.
Thereupon, having shown that.he was
not afraid to be shot at, Avery walked
up to young Jackson and delivered a
lecture to him, very much in the style
a father would use in lecturing a son.
Avery was very calm, and mis- talk
to the brave young man who had fired
at him was full OF good sense, dis
passionate and high in tone, and was
heard with great attention by the sec :
ends of both parties, who agreed that
the trouble must go no further.-Har-

thirds up the tree than the lumbermen

tiun," he writes, and climbed a few
feet farther up, to secure a position

a tremor, thai was not alone in the
tree.
There, not ten feet above me,
stretched at full length along a
branch, was a huge panther. From
the men below his form was quite
concealed.
II laughed TO myself as I thought
how my tormentors would be taken
aback when that panther should come
down among them. I decided that
there would be no more danger to
them than that to which they were ex-
posing me in their reckless fooling.
The great mass of foliage made
the fall a comparatively slow one.
Then came the final thunderous crash,
and in an instant I found myself
in my place. Jared but un-
hurt.
The next instant there was another
roar, overwhelming the laughter Of
the woodsmen; and out of the pine
boughs shot the panther in a whirl-
wind of fury. He turned half-round
and greeted his enemies with one ter
rife snarl, and then bounded of into
the forest at a pace which made 1t
idle to pursue him.
The men seemed almost to think
that had conjured up the panther for
the occasion. l thanked them most
for coming to my rescue
with such whole-hearted goodwill. and
promised them that If ever again I
got into a tree with a panther would
send for them at once.
