| am deeply interested in watching
the strange companionship of one of
the largest black and white woodpeck-
ers with red crown | have ever seen
and a sparrow. For two weeks they
have been about the yard constantly
together and seem to be the very best
of friends. In front Of the window
where I am writing they spend a
great deal of their time in a dead
horse chestnut tree. Near the top of
one of the trunks is very large hole.
While Mr. Woodpecker goes In to find
some delicacy, Lady Sparrow flies
about the top chirping merrily. By
their actions when Mr. Woodpecker
comes out he must drop a "goodie
down Lady Sparrow's throat. l have
never seen his mate around or any
other sparrow when they are together
Just these two, who are so different in
every way and still seem to be such
good friends Wherever he goes she
follows, always flying about the tree
where he is working

HEARD ON THE BOURSE.

McKenna & Rodgers-Looks like a
scalping proposition in corn and for
the present believe it should be sold on
bulges
Ware & I.eland-We are of the opin-
ion that declines in wheat will extend
but very little further and most as
suredly would favor purchases on ad-
ditional recessions.
Finley, Darrell & Cove believe il
policy to accept profits on any further
setback with view of replacing on re-
action which are natural and to be ex-
pected from time to time
Bartlett, Patton & Co.-After he have
had a good run of wheat in the north

FORMS OF SPORT IN BURMAH.
Popularity of Bull Raclns-Pugiilsts
Strike with Their Eyes Shut.

A form of speculation not generally
known in England but very popular
in Burmah is bull racing. A certain
native sportsman is the owner of one
of these bulls, for which he has re-
fused an offer of 10000 rupees It has
won several races and is looked after
and as carefully tended as a Derby
favcrite. The owner values it at U.s.
600 rupees, and iC is said it brings
him in an annual income Of from H.
600 to $4,000 rupees. 1t is carefully
guarded by four men lest it may be
got at and "doctored"
Burmans also patronize boxing
eagerly, but the art can scarcely be
practiced according to Queensberry
rules, for we are told by provincial
reporter that he has observed that
even the best boxers strike out with
their eyes tightly shut, and If they do
hit each other it is more by chance
than anything else. Calcutta States

Successful Hypocrite.

Gruignoli, the son of a fisherman,
a priest in a rich abbey in Florence,
had a net spread every day on the ia
BILE of his apartment to put him, as
he said, in mind of his origin The
abbot dying, this dissembled humility
procured Gruignoh to be his success
sor. and the net was used no more.
A friend who came to see him the day
afterwards. on entering his apart
ment, said:
Where is the metz"
There is no further occasion for
the net" replied Gruignoli, when the
fish is caught"

HAVE A NARROW ESCAPE

What might have resulted in a ser
tous accident occurred late yesterday
afternoon when a big plate glass which
was to be put in the new Gross build
ing on Commercial avenue, was broken.
The glass, which was 116 by 142
inches, was being unloaded by work
men of the James H. Rice company of
Chicago. There were at least ten men
+ who were lowering the plate to the
ground when the glass broke in the
middle, the pieces narrowly missing the
workmen. The glass was broken into
a thousand pieces and the report of
the noise of the breaking glass was
heard for many blocks.

The owner of retail hat store writes me to ask
how to advertise hats.
/ don't know haven't thought much about hats.
Ten to 1 should do something revolutionary;
perhaps advertise to buy the toners old hat. AS
a rule he is glad TO get rid of it, Of that would
the profit in two but then the sales would multiply
by ten perhaps by fifty, and the store would get
talked about.
Perhaps l wouldn't do that at all. I make the
suggestion simply to let this hat dealer know that if
l owned his store should get up and shake myself
make of a noise; not stand around behind
the counter leaning everything waiting for a
customer who is six blocks away the other side of
the street going north change his mind, back
over and by chance in his hurry notice
that have hats in my window
Tell hundred thousand men who wear hats and
who buy two hundred thousand hats year that you
have the goods; the kind they looking for If that
doesn't wake them up then give away hat-band and
a necktie and pair of gloves; the hats full of
ham sandwiches do something. Your business is to
sell hats, not store them.
I have no patience with the retail dealer who
depends the sidewalk and the weather for his trade
But it isn't necessary to be SENSATIONAL simply
make readable news of your advertising 1t is the
business of the newspapers to distribute and
if | want moderate priced stylish hat your adver
Using is ten times interesting to than the
Associated Press dispatch that galoot in Okla

Good advertising is news. Print this the

Keep your eye fashion
Fashion is today the biggest influence in the

biggest. We don't control fashion fashion controls

Farmer Keeps Accounts and Finds
Biggest Money in the Chickens.

One farmer down east, in order to
find out where the leaks and where
the gains were, kept an exact account
with every department of his farm.
He discovered that he was losing
money On his beef cattle, that hogs
just paid for themselves, that sheep
were good if his lambs came early,
and that the poultry made the largest
per cent of profit of any feature of his
farm. The result was that he quit
fooling with beef and hogs and put
more money and time into poultry.
The increased prosperity on that farm
was so marked that he wrote out for
publication his experience.
Because a hen is small and a steer
is big is a child's reason for having
contempt for the former and respect
for the latter, says Farmers Voice.
One of the biggest money makers in
the world is the street a business,
which depends entirely upon it's in
come for five-cent sales. A stick of
chewing gum costs but a penny, yet
just recently a syndicate was organ
lied with over a million dollars capital
to make trust chewing gum" 1t will
pay the farmer and his wife to consid-
err the money there may be made in
poultry if wisely directed. Organize
the hen on a business basis; put UP
new, clean, airy quarters; get proper
egg-making feeds; learn the value OF
cleanliness, light, warmth and sun,
shine in winter; get a good incubator
and control your matches so that you
will have winter layers, broilers, etc,
when they are most profitable. You
will soon learn that for the money in
vested and labor required, the hen is
the most economical and highly eff
ficient converter of rough feeds into
money you have ever tried.
