confusion with artificial plants and
floral devices, glittering armor and all
the thousands of odd things that were
being prepared for the most dazzling
comic opera of the year, THE Minstrel
of the Sahara"
The scenic artists had been working
day and night for weeks, and. with the
Opening" now only few days off, the
managers were nervously dreading
that the beautiful effects would not be
finished in time. To add to this fear.
Henry Granger, the artist on whom
the projectors Of the great spectacle
had mainly depended, had succumbed
to the strain of working for days and
nights without sleep and scarcely stop
ping for anything to eat He lay at
his little east side home, tossing and
raving in the delirium of typhoid fe-
yer. He had been absent from the
painters bridge" for nearly fort
night, and, although his loss was con
sidered serious at first, some one else
had filed his place, and now he was
forgotten. Scenic artists, like actors,
are improvident creatures, and if any
of the warm hearted stage folk had
had time to think of aught except the
duties that weighed so heavily on each
and every one they might have
thought that the sick man, out of work
and helplessly Ill. might be suffering
for want Of money. Granger was a
favorite generally. and many time
had he gone down into his scant saw
ings to help swell a contribution to
some needy professional in distress. If
anything ever reminded the company
of Changers absence it might have
been that his little girl, an only one Of
seven, came no more with the artists

away up there on the bridge" She
was a sweetly coy little thing. her

and pale face, surrounded by golden
curls.

Was Not Fined by Justice Eloheimo

Editor Statesman-Seeing in
your issue of the 18th an article re-
garding the arrest of the justice OF
the peace of Roseberry for fishing
without license, and as | am the
party referred to, please publish
the facts in the case.
July IA Sunday | went to the
Payette lake to try to catch a mess
of fish and made diligent inquiry
as to where one could buy license.
No one seemed to know, SO went
to the bridge and threw my line in
the water. Just then a man ap-
preached me and asked me if | had
a license. / said no, could not
find any place to buy one. He
then said he was deputy game
warden and would have to arrest
me. | said all right. We got into
the rig and went to the justice OF
the peace and | explained that |
had not been aware that he had Ii
censes for sale, that | did not wish
to violate any law and he asked me
if 1 wanted to buy license. said
yes. He issued one under direction
of the warden and dated it the 18th
(the 18th being Sunday. AS soon
as | received the license dated the
18th that entitled me to fish on the
18th, so they could do nothing. At
the suggestion of the warden it was
talked that the justice could assess
the fine and then remit it. [ do not
know whether it was done or not.
AS far as the deputy warden max
ing formal complaint, that is abso-
lutely false-there was no docket
entry made while [ was present
If there was any fine assessed to
me [ was not informed of it.
The statement that the deputy
warden took the Hardin boys before
the justice is also false. He arrest
ed them and 'phoned the justice to
assess the fine, which he did, and
the deputy warden collected the
fines and costs himself.
The statement that [ was Justice
at Roseberry at that time is also
false. AS to the statement that
there was any collusion between
Justice Eloheimo and myself, he
was perfect stranger to me. The
people of Long valley are as a rule
law-abiding citizens and perfectly
willing to comply with the law if
given a reasonable chance While
we all know that the fish and game
laws are violated almost daily, a
very small per cent of it is by resi-
dents of the valley, but mostly by
transient psople who, through some
mysterious influence, seem to be
immune from the law But if some
poor homesteader wants a mess of
fish he must take an extra day to
go where he can secure license or
he is Immediately nabbed. So far
as my paying any fine, that is alb
solutely false and if there was any
evasion of the law it was done by
the deputy game warden.

Marvellous Way Zach Is Adapted to 1t:

Marvellous Way Each Is Adapted to Its
Special Use.
Did 1t ever strike you in what an alb
Eolutely marvellous way the beaks OF
birds are adapted each to its special
use? The most casual glance at
sparrow or n buliinch shows you
that its beak is blunt, short. thick and
strong, perfectly adapted for cracking
the seeds or grain which form the
farger part of the food of all fincheS.
Then look ut the thrushs long and
rather slender bill, curved slightly
along its whole length. What could be
more useful for dipping into the soft,
wet earth and pulling out big, fat lug
worms or poking among dead leaves
for grubS, beetles and larvae? ThrusheS
and blackbirIs and all their tribe live
almost entirely on animal food, with a
little fruit. such as strawberries, now
and then for dessert, so they are per-
haps the most really useful of all our
tribes Of common birds.
The slender. delicate bills of warb!ers
show that they feed principally on
smaller insects, which they search for
amid the foliage of trees and shrubs
or, more rarely, in the grass and herb
age along the ground. Plant lice
and spiders they clear off in tens of
thousands.
Few beakS could be more useful to
their owner than that of the fairly
tp1
fern owl or nightjar. 1t Is very short
and weak, yet It's wide cape IS per-
feet trap for the night flying moths
that form Master Nightjar's evening
meal. Similar, too, are the swallow
and martin tribe, all of which hawk
through the upper mir for flying in
sects.
The bill of the great black wood
pecker will serve as n very good ex-
ample of all his tribe. You see how
chisel-lil1e Is the shape of his powerful
instrument, how eXQuisitely adapted
for driving into the recess of rough
banks and extracting therefrom grubs
and other wood boring insects. His
tongue, too, Is most curiously formed,
but that hardly falls within the scope
Of this little article.
The Geak of the wild sea eagle Is
the beak OF the typical bird of prey.
Its tremendous power, backed by
the steel-like muscles of the neck,
show the flesh eating habits Of all the
birds of prey tribe. The kestrel is the
commonest example that we have in
this country, and next the sparrow
hawk. The owls, too, show, by the
particular shape of their bills, SINH
lar carnivorous habit.-Cincinnati Com

The Knockout Blow.

The blow which knocked out Corbett
was a revelation to the prize fighters.
From the earliest days of the ring the
Knockout blow was aimed for the jaw,
the temple or the jugular vein. Stomach
punches were thrown in to worry and
weary the fighter, but If q scientific man
had told one of the old fighters that the

Caring For the Eqqs.

The quicker you gather your eggs
after being laid the easier to keep them
clean. The clean. bright shell Is an
essential item. After you have gath
cred your eggs don't forget and leave
them out in the sun or on the back of
the stove, but put them In your egg
case and keep the egg case In cool
dark place with the lid on. The eggs
should not be allowed to remain In the
nest to be tramped on and fought over
or sat on five or six hours by broody
hen or two or maybe three.

ready made. The house is practically
on stills, and under 1t the hens may go
when the rays of the sun make life al
most unbearable. The space below the
house also affords an excellent place
in which to put a few hens with chicks,
or In warm weather al indoor brooder
may be put there, as the place Is of
course perfectly dry. 1t will be seen
at glance that such a poultry house
may be built in as many sections as
desired, or it may be built of only one
section, about 10 by Is feet.

USE AN INCUBATOR.
In These Days 1t Does Not Pay to Rely
on Natural Methods.

In These Days 1t Does Not Pay to Rely
on Natural Methods.
In spite of the fact that last seasons
sale of incubators is estimated at over
100000, not every poultry keeper oper-
Rtes an incubator, says L. Z. Keyser
in Western Poultry Journal. Many are
still Matching with hens, and others who
have made a failure with their first In
cubator haze relegnted 1t to the store
room and returned to the old method.
This failure may not have been the
fault of the incubator, and If it was
there is no reason why one should
abandon the use Of up to date methods.
There are good incubators which are q
material help to all who raise poultry
and Indispensable to those who raise
any apprcciable number of chicks. 1t
IS often possible to rig an old Incubator

ing few changes which the advance

but if later you secure good machine
this early loss can soon be repaid.
No person can now proftably raise
poultry without an incubator and
system of breeding. 1t does not pay to
wait the pleasure of the hen and then
tend her for three weeks In order to
get from six to ten chicks, when we
can take off hundred or more in the
same time and do 1t at Il time when
the chicks are wanted. With the in
cubator we can get carly chicks before
the hen has thought of sitting We can
hatch q brood of broilers that will pay
for the incubator before it is wanted
for Matching the breeding and laying
stock, and after the natural Matching
season we can make another hatch Of
chicks that will sell in the fall for
broilers. These late chicks, known in
some sections as cold storage broil-
ers," find ready sale, and while the
price is not high the birds have not
cost much, as they will have secured
the larger portion of their food from
the range and fields from which the
grain has been harvested.

Preventive For Indigestion,

The best preventive for indigestion
and dysehtery both for chicks and lay
ing hens is one-quarter pound sulphate
of iron and One-half ounce sulphuric
acid dissolved in one gallon of hot wa
ter. Place in a stone jar and set away
to cool and settle. Add one tablespoon
full of this liquid to each quart Of

Feed Hens Literally.

Don't keep your birds on too short
rations. Laying birds need a plentiful
supply of food to do their best. We
don't believe that there are many birds
III this country that are overfed, and
we know of many flocks that we be-
lleve to be half starved, says Reliable

wonder why the birds don't lay. You
cannot get eggs In any great quantity
unless you feed literally. Cost Is about

which calls for both time and patience,
says the London Telegraph. The price
at which land may be procured differs
greatly with the skill Of the purchaser.
Any hasty attempt to buy hurts the

an agent to do so instead. letting 1t be
