Martin Anglers in Van Norden Magazine.
Ranchmen of the fertile Humboldt
valley, Nevada, are convinced that
Stanley Piper, Of the United States
biological survey, is one other than
the Pied Piper of Hamelin come to life.
When they discovered that their vast
and luxuriant alfalfa fields were infest-
ed with mice, 1900 to the acre, they
are said TO have prayed that the an
cient Teutonic rat charmer might be
sent to deliver them out OF bondage.
compared with which being in debt to a
Insurer was a blissful state. Uncle
Sam sent this Piper, but he played no
tunes, and coldiy announced that once
he was ready to quit Nevada not a
rodent would be allowed TO follow him.
Moreover, during the summer or 1907
the ranchmen witnessed the devasta-
ton of their valuable hay crop Piper
on the scene and as active as a cat the
while, so they concluded that Humboldt
valley was too, a far cry from the
wrath of him whom desperation had
made their patron saint.
But with the coming winter the
Twentieth Century Piper showed that
there Is more than a little In a name.
He covered the fields with alfalfa hay
and poisoned with strychnia sulphate,
and the vermin died by the thousands.

When prominent men realize the in
furious effects of coffee and the change
in health that Postum car bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit of others.
A superintendent of public schools
in one OF the southern states says:

hood, was an inyeterate coffee drinker,
had been troubled with her heart for a
number OF years and complained of
that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach.
Some time ago ! was making an
official visit to a distant part Of the
country and took dinner with n of
the merchants of the place. / noticed
a somewhat peculiar flavor of the cof-
fee, and asked him concerning 1t. He
replied that 1t was Postum.
Il was so pleased with 1t, that after
the meal was over, / bought a package
to carry home with me, and had wife
prepare some for the next meal. The
whole family were SO we'll pleased
with 1t, that we discontinued coffee
and used Postum entirely.
II had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers condi-
ton, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time. she felt so
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not SO frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest of us.

Dec Wins Case Before jury,

From the Boston PoSt.
For the first time in the history %
this state a dog took the witness stand
in the superior criminal court before
Judge De Courcy.
The dog, a handsome black collie,
named Major, not only appeared as the
star witness for the defendant in the
case, IA was practically considered to
be the co-defendant with his master,
Charles Neszery, who was charged with
violating q city ordinance in connec-
ton with keeping a dog which dis
turbed the tranquility OF the neigh
bors. The jury acquitted Neszery.
The state commended that Major came
under the law because the officer,
while investigating a Are, was bitten
by him.
Major and his master denied this
charge and the former, although q wit
ness for the defense, made a willing
witness for the government and Went
through the court proceedings without
getting vexed at District Attorney Hill
or His Honor.
Major was asked by District At
torney Hill to take the witness stand
and show what kind Of a character
he really had.
The dog absolutely refused 10 re-
spond to any questions put TO him and
only wagged his shaggy tai then Mr..
Hill announced, in a good humored
manner to the court, that contempt
proceedings might be instituted If the
witness insisted on remaining silent.
Rather than have the co-defendant
become too talkative Judge De Courcy
excused him.
Neszery then o the stand and said
that Sullivan was in reality a tres
passer in his rome and said that the
officer entered the kitchen about 3 a.
m. on the morning Of March Is. Major
and his mate. Flossie, We're ~devouring
a piece OF lamb.
The witness said that when Sullivan
entered he CNeszery) cried out: Look
out for the dog"
