Why Birds 90 South.

81 once asked confirmed old bach
elor," says Mr.. Craig S. Thoms iu the
New IDEA WoMAN's MAGAZINE for
November, "why he did not marry, to
which no replied, Il have gotten over
wanting to- Is there tide in the
affairs of birds for certain period in the
autumn which draws them southwark?
And if the fall be pleasant, as was that
of 1904, and they rema n longer than
usual, does this tide of inclination pass
away and leave them stranded with us
for the winter? Or, when they have
stayed during long, pleasant autumn
do they reason like the old man who
said that it would not pay for him to get
false teeth now, that his time was too
short?
at is usually thought that the de-
terminiug factor in the birds going or
staying is not that of cold, but of food ;
and for this there is doubtless consider
able evidence. Yet, for the evidence to
be conclusive, it would need to be
shown that the food is lacking when
they go forth and leave us, as we'll as
present when they stay throughout the
year.
SIN the autumn of 1904, in the groves
which skirt the rivers in South Dakota,
wild grapes were unusually abundant.
The autumn was SO long and dry that
they cured upon the vines, and were
sweet, somewhat juicy, and very palat-
able during the entire winter. In these
groves ! found companies of Wilson's
bluebirds in early January, when the
mercury stood between eight and ten
degrees below zero. The flickers also
were numerous, though it is not un-
common for few of them to winter in
the North
In opposition to this fact, Mr.. Thoms
notes that although every winter a
goodly supply of berries, seeds, buds,
ETC., remains on the bushes, yet the
robins, who eat these, constantly mi
CRATE. Mr.. Thoms comes to the con-
clusion, therefore, that "there is a
migrating instinct which has its season
Just as there is a mating instinct which
has its season; and if, owing to pleasant
conditions, that season passes without the
birds being moved to 60 South, they do
not go at ALL"

Acquittal in Day Arson Case.
THREE DAYS TRIAL TERMINATED 1!
VERDICT OF NOT GUILTY.

The October term of court terminated
with the end of the arson case against
Albert L. Day and Clarence w. Day OF
Mexico (Ridlonville) last Monday night.
The evidence was closed about 5:3O p. NJ i,
and as Judge Powers was due to open a
term of court at Wiscasset Tuesday
morning, he asked the members of the
court to attend an evening session, open
ing at 7:l5. Arguments were made by
Swasey for the defence and County At
torney Barnes for the state, aud both ef-
forts were highly cOmplimented. There
was quite an audience of spectators.
Judge Powers instructed the jury in
his usual clear and fair manner, and the
case was given to the jury about 10
O'Clock. As the jury was passing out,
Clarence w. Day, one of the respondents,
was seized with one of the fits to which
he is subject on occasions, and for an
hour or whereabouts was under the care
of a physician. The occurrence made
considerable stir in the court room.
After being out about three-quarters
of an hour, the jury returned a verdict
of not guilty, and the respondents were
discharged. This was the last act of the
term, and court was Immediately adj
journed finally, at about IL O'Clock.
No case which has been tried here in
long time has reused so much interest
as this, nor has any other recent case
given evidence of so strong partisanship,
both pro and con, among the large num-
Der of those summoned to attend court
from the vicinity of the occurrence which
led to the trial.
John Russell of Oxford who was in
dcted as common seller, and whom
our last weeks report left in Jail with
plea of not guilty, was released on his
own recognizance to appear at the next
term of court.

.lalhn,a Letter.

Brother c. Fl. Prince seems to take
pleasure in giving pleasure to his friends
Through his courtesy and kindness we
had an exhilarating ride on his auto
from our home to the East Hebron
Grange fair grounds and return. The
day was perfect as perfect day in June
The air was balmy, the sun was warm
but not too warm. There were no flies
on the machine, and there was no switch
ing the tail over the reins. We went
flying up South Hill like bird. Bert
Tilton was the general manager and he
evidently knows how. AS c. Fl. had
company he gave Barrett Spaulding his
place. We shall speak we'll of autos
after this.
C. H. claims that it has been run 200C
miles since he owned it-a matter Of three
months or so. 1t is of quiet, peaceful
! make, but has the 60 in it and isn't
skittish, is afraid of nothing, steam cars,
electrics or automobiles, and is not noted
for balking-never kicks nor strikes
with the fore feet and will stand without
hitching. Warranted sound. A woman
can drive it if she knows how.
The exhibit was held in the dining
hall, and was quite creditable. The
literary entertainment, which has al.
ways been feature of our grange fair,
was held in the hall above. Our stay
was brief and we did not enter in.
George Conant has sold 100 barrels of

Buckiield Grange had 'snip party"
If you know what that is-the other
evening in Nezinscot Hall. After the

the time when we should rather dance
than snip. Quick music even now sets

AMERICAN SLAVES.
F. A. sHuRrLrrr co.'s EMANCIPATION

F. A. sHURTLEFF co.'s EMANCIPATION
ACT THAT WILL FREE THOUSANDS.
F. A. Shurtleff & Co., Paris leading
druggists, are ready to restore freedom
to many who have been in absolute slav-
cry.
No one appreciates better than the
victim of indigestion that he is an abject
slave to his stomach, Messrs. F. A.
Shurtleff & Co., in guaranteeing that
Mi-o-na will strengthen the stomach SO
that you can eat what you want and
when you want 1t, remove all fear Of
further bondage.
The stomach is to the body what the
foundation is to the house, and when II
is weakened or diseased, one organ after
another is affected until the heart, lungs,
kidneys and liver will all be involved
Indigestion causes nervousness, sleep
lessness, head aches, back aches, distress
after eating, furred tongue and general
weakness and debility.
Mi-o-na is not mere temporary relief
for Indigestion, but positive remedy
for all stomach troubles, promoting good
digestion, stimulating the secretions and
restoring health.
Ask F. A. Shurtleff & Co. to show you
the guarantee under which they sell Mi
o-na. A large box of the tablets sells
for so cents, but costs nothing unless 1t
cures.
