Fern is no GUTTER.

report was in circulation last night
to the effect that Joe Fern, the Demo
cratic nominee for Mayor, had stated
that he regarded his own chances for
election as very slight and that he
conceded the victory to John c. Lane.
This rumor, according to Fern himself,
is without foundation Of fact.
Mr.. Fern called ON the Advertiser
last night and requested that a state
ment be made for him to the effect
that he was in the fight to win, that
he regarded his chances as particular
Iy good and that he was no gutter
and had never given any intimation
to anyone that he felt himself beaten.
q Say that Fern is the general of
the Democratic party. at the head of
his soldiers and marching on to battle.
If the others have better soldiers than
I have or more of them, the victory
will be to them. but I do not think
that they have I am in to fight until
the end and expect to be victorious.

mix-up of the political situation, new

Cedar wood is much esteemed by
farmers for its lasting qualities when

the Egyptian boats made of CEDAR

1t is not only in congregations OF
luadrupeds, such as hogs, cattle, horses
etc, that we often find particularly
vicious specimens; we also come across
them in fiocks of poultry, among hens
turkeys and even pigeons. There are
DULLES and brutes in the pigeon as
well as human family. A male pigeon
that is disposed to make himself a
nuisance in fighting other old birds and
killing squads might as well be re-
moved from the loft. If this is not
practical, clip his wings and provide a
nest for the pair on the floor.

Feeds for PigeOns-We like whole
wheat best of all grains for pigeons
But there are many other grains which
pigeons like and thrive on, among them
common peas, barley, buckwheat, cow
peas, soy beans, English horse beans,
the various kinds of vetcn. broom corn.
sorghum seed, millet and many others.
A variety is, of course, always relish
ed. Corn is good feed when given in
moderate quantities, especially during
summer, and not as an exclusive diet.
Pigeons also learn to eat boiled pota-
toes and other vegetables, soft mash,
such as we give to the hens, etc. For
really fine, plump fat squads, wheat
IS hard to beat.

A Chicken YiIInge.

On the road from East Auburn to
Turner there is novel sight, a chicken
village, it may be termed, for at the
side of a well-kept farmhouse there is
village of perhaps dozen little white
peak-roofed houses, and the house
nearest to the road Is built to repre-
sent church. The steeple is as per-
fect as if the tiny building were really
intended for place of worship. These
miniature houses are nothing more or
less than chicken coops, yet so per-
fectly is everything arranged that the

You have been locking at this por-

he added, shaking hands warmly with

Frost lighted his guest downstairs and
saw him into the rainy street. Then he
came blunderingly upstairs again.
"Well?" said Zeno, who was toweling
