Indiana Man Finds Slumber Makes
Him $4,000 Richer.

Willis Pratt, a farmer living near
Farmersburg, is to-day $4,000 richer
than he was. owing to an invention which
he pictured in dream. Some time ago
Pratt dreamed three nights in succession
about the construction of an improved
churn. and he set to work and modelled
one after the one pictured in his dreams.
As soon as the model was completed he
obtained q patent. Last week a churn
company of Chicago asked Pratt TO place
price on his INV ,ntion, which he did.
putting the figure 50 high that he had lit
tie hope of the company accepting the
price. Contrary to his expectations. he
received a reply that the company would
accept the offer.

DOVE KILLING IN GEORGIA.
One Party of Hunters Killed 5000 in
Few Hours.

The biggest dove shoot OF the year
in this section and one OF the biggest
ever held was pulled off on one OF Ira
Cooks plantations in Lee county.
A field several hundred acres in ex-
tent had been baited daily for period
of several weeks and sportsmen at
tended from Albany, Leesburg and
several other points. There were be-
tween l25 and $50 gunners in the field
when the birds began flying, just af-
ter dawn, and 1t is probable that more
than 5000 doves were killed.
In spite of the great slaughter the
birds appear TO be as plentiful as they
have ever been. A number of ladies
participated in the sport.
A big bird shoot was given by j. M.
Stevens and J. T. Holder at Stevens
farm, four miles south Of Lumpkin,
in a 200 acre level field. Birds were
plentiful and between 1000 and 1900
were killed. Sixty guns were on the
field. The hunt was followed by bar
becue and bird roast.-Correspondence

THE WEEKS BEST POEM.


The editor of the Cedar Rapids
Republican, last Sunday morning,
took issue with the literary editor of
the Register and Leader in reference
to the weeks best poem The Reg
lister and Leader in its book number,
expressed preference for poem
written by Clinton Scotland, and pub
lished in the Current Metropolitan.
The Cedar Rapids Republican favors
a poem written by Iowas gifted poet
Maj. S. H. NJ. Byers and in our
Judgment has the best Of the con-
tention.
The following is Mr.. Byers poem,
entitled the Invisible Num-"
Three nuns there were in ship at
sea.
And each was very fair;
But one was fairer than all the rest,
And she had golden hair.
Sweet nuns they were, and their ros-
aries
They counted every day;
They held their beads in their lily
hands,
would that were they.
They were but three" the ship-folk
said,
Yet four there were, swear;
For their fairest one counted twice,
Because she was SO fair.
1counted twice-for two she was,
Plain as the stars above;
For half of her was sweet nuns
face,
And half was face for Love.
And ever came on the deck they
And low thir voices fell,
: The ship-folks bowed to he sisters
three,
l bowed to fourth as we'll.
And they are gone with their, rosario
Gone are the sisters three
But half of her with the golden hal
VIII stay forever with me.
Commenting on the merit of thi
poem the Republican truly says:
For beauty of suggestion and del
cacy of thought this is one of the fiji
est things that we have seen in II
cent verse. 1t has something of tn
charm of Rosetti, the greatest {
the Rosettis. 1t is only in the min
and heart of a man who really fee
poetry, as we'll as writes it, that sue
conception could find place. TIL
fourth nun is the invisible spirit tht
fills the world with beauty and wit
love, with holiness and with gracious
ness The man who has not see
that invisible one has not lived a
there is in life.
If Major Byers had no other d
serts, and had never written an.
thing else, if we were president W
would make him minister at Bern
for that poem alone.
