a. According to those who reside il
the neighborhod, there is regular
old fashioned rain-crow on the Sebret
island in the north part of the city
and he is true to his natural vocation
About three days before each rain thi:
bird gets in his work of warning. AL
forenoon he sits unmolestedly on a
limb somewhere and groans off his
signals to all those within a quarter
Of a mile. His note, which is half way
between groan and croak, mixed
with cultural and moan, usually hits
the nail on the head back among the
Missourians where his majesty is
looked upon with considerable rev.
erence, and every Missourian here
who gets a touch of this Sebree
island birds music, stops with start,
lifts hand to his forehead in media
ton and attentiveness, longs for the
sweet potatoe patch of yore, thinks Of
the big pile of yellow pumpkins out
by the chestnut grove in the fall, re-
calls some ,possum story of his child
hood and swallows some imaginary
chunk of marsh mallow material
about as big as rnuskrat, heads off
2 longing to return to the rain-crow
region of his youth, admits that he
ran from the storms of his nativity,
wonders how this rain-crow ever got
away out here, closes the incident with
q wish that his wife might hear the
bird, and then slowly proceeds along
his way feeling a gentle tugging at
his heart.
In Boise the fuel feature of cleo
tricity has been solved and now the
housewife may press button and the
hot biscuits dump out into her apron,
and all she needs to do is to be good
eater. Her hubby can bring home
package of prepared buckwheat, pour
in little water and press the button
and there you have it again. During
the four minutes one is waiting he
may take dish of faxed corn with
4 spoon of condensed milk. If the
hshis likely to have too many bones
in it, the current may be applied
thereto when, hoky-poky, presto, now
you see it and now you don't, and the
bones may be reduced to state found
in the caned salmon package. In the
winter stime when the cold blasts howl
around. the Boiseite may reach one
hand out from under the cover, press
a button, and away the household
goes. Or he may set his alarm clock
so it will start the electric fires going
just ten minutes before the gong will
wake himself Then again, he may
put q little electric pad in his bed at
night IN winter and keep little juice
going through all the livelong night,
keeping his feet beautifully warm,
besides filing him brim full OF electric
life sbitters. firing him for the labors
of the coming day. All this is done
at hard time prices, for they do say
it is. cheaper than coal. If the dozen
Minorcas don't turn out the eggs in
due season, the Boiseite may now
connect one hen leg to the positive
and one to the negative pole of this
cheap current, feed her ordinary grain
with no condiments whatever, and the
way albumen and lime will be genera

ton. If a robber is heard going thru
the jewel case in the bureau, the happy
husband may reach out to the nearby
button. give it a little twist and the
fruits of 1900 volts will attack him
in his wickedness and another twist
OF another button will notify the cor
