BIRD CAUGHT WITH FIsHHook.
From The Boston Transcript.

William Goodwin a member of the crew OF the
fishing schooner Mystery. which has just returned
from the Georges, is the leader in a new kind OF
fisheries in which the bait is a piece OF pork and
the victim is a bird. Goodwin mOdestly disclaims
all title to the original idea and says that when
he went out TO handle his travis he had no idea OF
making his strange catch. The prize which he
drew In a fine specimen OF gannet which had
taken fancy TO the cold pork which baited that
particular hook.
When the novelty OF the situation had worn off,
Goodwin decided to keep his captive. and took it
back to the schooner. Since then. whenever the
fishermen have gone too close the bird, they
have missed pieces out of their oiskin trousers The
gannet has sharp and powerful bill, nearly three
inches long. and he also has vicious temper.
Since his capture he has constantly reminded the
crew of his presence by nipping them in the legs
as they passed m. The bird is full grown
specimen, slightly larger than duck. and some
what resembling him in appearance. except for the
size of his bill. The one taken by the fisherman
is finely marked with hecks of whIte dull brown

BEAT HIGH-PRIGE GAME
Compare Prices Named Below with
What Yon Are Paying.


A great many OF the residents OF
the city have found way by which
they can evade the high prices on
most OF their foodstuffs BY buy
ing of agents who buy direct from
the growers; the same price is paid
by the agents as the commission man
pays. This enables you to escape
two profits-those Of the commission
men and the iobbers.
A few months ago Il was shown
by controversy between one grocer
and a consumer that some Of the
most essential foodstuffs are being
sold at more than twice what they
cost delivered in the store or more
than one hundred per cent. profit.
1t is claimed by those who have
tried the new way of buying that sew
eral dollars can be saved in this way
each month. 1t is declared to be one
positive way OF dealing . knockout

PARCELS POST.

A Washington dispatch says that IN
important feature of the joint conven'
ton Of the postmasters OF the second,
third and fourth classes was the ad
dress delivered by Postmaster General
Meyers. He urged the extension of the
parcels post, the creation OF a parcels
post on rural delivery routes and the
establishment Of postal savings banks.
The forthcoming report of the post
master general will be scanned with
considerable interest, for the reason
that he Is a business man Of great
ability, and 1t will be interesting to
see upon what he bases his recon-
mendations. The express companies
will oppose the extension of the
parcels post with all their might, ms
the carrying business by the govern
ment would materially interfere with
their operations. In addition to this
opposition there will doubtless be
strong opposition from the retail deal
ers throughout the land. To Offset this
it is understood the postmaster gen,
eral would establish what he terms q
single route system, whereby any
merchant may have the privilege OF
sending goods to any person along q
single route at a lesser rate than the
hib houses Of the wholesale centers
who would be compelled to use more
than one. He is protected to that ex'
tent. No matter how much opposition
may be given to this economic meas
ure, it is sure to come In time. The
American people would not care to
give up the parcels post they now en-
joy nj its extension is just as reason
able and just as logical as was the
adoption of the present system. A!
the leading nations of Europe have
such a system and it does not appear
to have driven retailers out Of business
over there.

THE SHEEP COMBINATION.

A ranch near Greeley has been e
p~erimenting in the matter Of fattening
sheep in combination with farm pro,
ducts and the result this year is a
return of $4,000 from a ranch of L:
100 acres with only 500 acres unde.
cultivation. The crops raised were po-
tatoes, alfalfa, wheat, barley, oats anu
stock beets. The owners attribute
their success to the fact that they ap
piled to the land the fertilizer taken
from the pens wherein the sheep were
fattened in the fall and winter. North
ern Colorado has made millions in
this way. The farmers there have
raised big crops, bought Wyoming
lambs and reaped tremendous returns,
not only from the increased price Of
the lambs, but from the byproducts
used and saved.
Wyoming must come to this before
the greatest rewards are reaped by our
stockmen. Wyoming lambs should not
be sent to Colorado. There Is not a
state In the union that can raise more
successfully field peas and all OF the
cereals mentioned in the foregoing list
harvested from the farm near Greeley
In the matter of farming alone, this
state can certainly duplicate the ne
turn of the Greeley Farm. Suppose
the crop had been oats. How msny
