Sure Canal Will Paw.

1.-The question of the canal paying for it

canal will pay for itself With ships that

of each other, and you cannot convince
me that they are not going to use that

wooDpEcKER's EAR FOR MUSIC.
Obtains Range of Notes from Cans on
Telephone Poles.

A Titusyille woodpecker finds amuse-
ment for himself and music for two diff
ferent neighborhoods by humping Wig
orously upon terminal cans at the top of
telephone poles, says the Philadelphia
Record. In East Walnut street, near the
Daniel Colestock residence, he appears
frequently and disturbs the community
by drumming on this tin can. He will
then wing his scalloped way TO West
Spruce street and beat tattoo upon an
other can located there. The terminal
cans contain fuses for the distribution of
wires, and this astute bird has learned
that he can obtain different notes by
changing position.
He will set his hard bill vigorously at
business on one side of the can, and be-
fore the sound has died away he will be
following it by a series of noises from
the other side. That the woodpecker
does this out of pure love for the noise
is very evident. He cannot hope TO drill
a hole through the can or to find any
thing beneath. if he accomplishes that
feat. He has found out that he can
make q noise like a street parade and
apparently enjoys it.

The Lord He Served.

Judge George f. Lawton of the Mid
dlesex Probate Court told me a story
the other day of an American minister
who was spending his sabbatical year
travelling abroad. Arriving in London,
he made every effort to get an intimate
view of the two branches of Parliament
in session. OF course, no stranger is
allowed on the floor of the House of
Lords, but the minister not knowing
this, and with the usual amount of
American push, tried to make his way
In. There is a rule, however, that serv-
ants of the various lords may be ad-
mitted to speak to their masters. See
ing the minister walking boldly in, the
doorkeeper asked:
What lord do you serveT'
what lord?" repeated the astonished
American, 1.-The lord jehovah"
For a moment the doorkeeper hest
tated and then admitted him. Turning
to an assistant standing near, he said:
He must mean one of those poor

ON FOOD.


Proper food is the foundation OF
health. People can eat improper food
for a time until there is a sudden col
lapse of the digestive organs, then all
kinds of trouble follows.
The proper way out of the difficulty
is to shift to the pure, scientific food,
Grape Nuts, for it rebuilds from the
foundation up. A New Hampshire
woman says:
Last summer ! was suddenly taken
with indigestion and severe stomach
trouble and could not eat food without
great pain, my stomach was so sore |
could hardly move about. This kept
I'D until l was so miserable life was
not worth living.
Then a friend finally, after much
argument, induced me to quit my for
mer diet and try GrapeNuts.
Although l had but little faith l
commenced to use it and great was
my surprise to find that l could eat it
without the usual pain and distress in
my stomach.
so / kept on using Grape-Nuts and
soon marked improvement was
shown, for my stomach was perform
ing its regular work in normal way
without pain or distress.
Very soon the yellow coating dis
appeared from my tongue, the dull,
heavy feeling in my head disappeared
and my mind felt light and clear; the
languid, tired feeling left, and alto
gether I felt as if had been rebuilt.
Strength and weight came back rapid
ly and went back to my work with
renewed ambition.
To-day / am a new woman in mind
as well as body and l owe it all to this
natural food, Grape-Nuts" There's a

HOOKING ALLIGAToRS.
A Florida Sport with an Element of I'm
certainty in 1t.

certainty IN 1t.
Hunting alligators at night with a
bulps-eye lantern and shotgun is tame
sport compared with what is called a
gator hunt down in Florida" said an
old Floridian recently. 81 mean the feat
of capturing an alligator alive and then
towing the fellow TO high ground through
mud and water from what is called in
Florida gator hole.
THE gator fishermen first find the
hole which is indicated by an opening in
the surrounding grass in the midst of Al
dense growth of vegetation, where the
ground is worn smooth by the alligator
IN his pulls in and out. Sometimes these
gator holes are in the nature of a cave
IN the bank of a stream and may be
lfteen or twenty feet deep, and if so,
II is not an easy matter to get the ami
NAL out.
The fisher is supplied with a long
pole with metal hook on the end. He
takes strong rope and throws it about
the entrance of the hole. At this juno
ture RooseYelt's monkey hunting in Afri-
ca is not in it compared to gator hunting
in the Florida marsh
Then the fisher rams with the hooked
pole down the den and waits and listens.
If he finds gator in the hole, he leases
the beast by poking him, until the gator,
AZ a AdSS, hHdIlF BEdDS tue nOOkeQ pole
and is pulled from the den. 1t is with
uncertainty that he is dragged forth, for
1t is not known whether the catch is
large or a small one: the fisher does not
know whether to get into shape to run
or to fight. But out the gator comes bel
lowing and roaring mad.
After the gator is dragged to the sur
face he, in his rage, turns and rolls and
finally twists himself up in the rope or
moose that has been previously prepared.
With the assistance of the others in the
party the gators legs and mouth are
tied and the gator is a prisoner.
The gator is for the most part caught
in marshes where the ground is soft and
slushy and too wet for either horse or
wagon to enter. The fishers are COM
PEELED to carry their catch to higher
ground, there to be loaded into the wait
ing wagon, aud the hunt is ended. -

The Same, but Dimerent.

Most lawyers take keen delight
trying to confuse medical experts in
the witness box in murder trials, and
often they get paid back in their own
coin. A case is recalled where the
lawyer, after exercising all his tan
CLING tactics without effect, looked
quizzically at the doctor who was tes
tifying and said:
you will admit that doctors some
times makes mistakes won't your"
"oh, yes, the same as lawyers" was

People Who Argue.

There are some people who are never
convinced. They will argue a subject
out for hours at the stretch and be no
nearer a solution than they were at the
start. 1t is hopeless to try to convince
such a person on any subject. The
truth is it gives them pleasure to ar
que, and the more you disagree with
them the better they are pleased. This
is very bad habit to allow oneself to
get into, and if you find yourself drop
ping into it the thing to do is to try to
drop out again as soon as possible.
