Judge Testers Blaekbird Story.


The Mail & Breeze, commenting on
the crop and nature liars, takes to task
the people who are continually sending
in odd chestnut" for publication, but
says its columns are always open to new
and original ones. After citing some of
the rusty ones, the editor turns his atten-
ton to new and original one on black
bird" sent in by our friend. Judge Les
ter, Of Lake City, in this manner:
But here does come something from
down in Barber county that really sounds
fresh. 1t is perpetrated by Deacon Les.
ter. formerly Of the Syracuse News.
B.ackbnds are bad down in Barber.
Fhey are worrying the farmers up and
down the beautiful Medicine valley.
One day farmers boy rushed into the
house and told his father that the drafted
blackbirds were eating up all Of the
wheat. The old man grabbed his shot
gun but when he went to look for shot
he found that there was none in the
house. He was resourceful man and
in place Of shot he loaded his gun with a
handful Of carpet tacks in each barrel.
Then he rushed out to the field Of grain.
The birds saw him coming with blood in
his eye and few away only to light in
great cottonwood tree where they set
up tremendous chatter at the farmer.
We might say that there are tremendous
cottonwoods growing in the Medicine
valley. 1t is no uncommon thing to see
a cottonwood there that will measure 4
feet In diameter.
The farmer was hot. He saw the
birds congregated in the top of the huge
cottonwood tree and turned loose at
them with both barrels. When the smoke
cleared away he heard the most internal
chatter from the birds that he had ever
listened to, but they had not left the
tree. Then he discovered that he had
nailed them all fast to the limbs with the
tacks from his gun. For little while
there was a wild Auttering Of wings and
then the farmer saw the cottonwood Start
from the ground. The blackbnds by one
united effort pulled it up by the roots
and few away with it. The farmer
watched the tree slowly vanishing in the
upper air until it became mere speck in
the sky and then disappeared from sight.
Then with the expression, Well | will
be doggoned,' he turned toward his
humble home.
I'VE do not say that this is entirely
fresh but it is new one on us and there
fore we receive it gratefully. There are
great many would-be cheerful liars but
few Of them have originality Of thought
or diction."
