SPARROW THRIvES ON
A DIET OF STRYCHNINE
Devour Poison Spread With Intent
to Kill, and Then Return With
Their Families for More.

WARRENSBURG, Mo.-The Eng
lish sparrow has been considerably
maligned and his worthlessness has
been recounted from time immemo-
rial, but it remains for Mrs. Frank
Engle of this city to bring the worst
indictment against the "spitzer." She
says they can't be killed, even with
poison.
Warrensburg people have declared
that the sparrows are nuisance and
have been the cause of many young
gardens disappearing during the past
several weeks, so it was decided that
war should be made upon them,
each person to choose his" or her
own "modus operandi."
Mrs. Engle decided upon strych-
nine as a sure means of exterminat-
ing them, so she put out some grain
and sprinkled it literally with this
virulent poison. The birds came and
devoured the food and Mrs. Engle
saw visions of dead sparrows lying
around in her yard. Instead of that
the birds came back for more, bring
ing their sisters, cousins and aunts,
and to date Mrs. Engle has failed to
find a single dead bird.

BANKS Get PROBLEM
In WHISKEY LOANS
$50, 900, 900 ADVANCED ON THE
WAREHOUSE RECEIPTS WITH
DRY PERIOD NEAR.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-The banks of
the country hold about $58,0O0,OOO
of whisky warehouse receipts, for
which, in most instances, the whisky
itself is their only security. These
figures were advanced by broker in
close touch with the whisky situation
yesterday as one of the imperative
reasons why the trade should be Civ
en- until January, when the prohibi-
ton amendment to the constitution
goes into effect, to dispose of the
stocks. So confident are dealers of
this position that there is not the
slightest evidence in any powerful
quarters to unload stocks, and whis-
ky prices remain firm.
In addition to between 100000
and 60,000,000 gallons in the bond
ed warehouses it was learned yester-
day that the distributing and retail
trade has about 100000 gallons
on it's hands. The government tax of
$6.40 a gallon has been paid on the
stock in the hands of the distributors,
but not on that in the bonded ware
houses. 1t is now estimated that APP
proximately 100000 men will be
thrown on the labor market if war

victory in peace-all by this old man
of the sea from across the sea, that
has so fatally fastened on us.
eff two years ago we had clench-
ed our France and Italy and our
smaller allies! There is a growing
belief that we could have won
through without the help of the eyre
gious author of the egregious four
teen points. And it is a might have
been that looms before us more mad
deningly as we learn more of the kind
of ally we have let ourselves in for.

"By now there is not one of the
European countries that they haven't
overrun-and they are to be found
established in the remotest corners
where the Americans as a whole
have become intensely unpopular.
France and Italy are more than fed
up with them. And the reason, /
imagine, or one of the chief reasons,
is that they are an inferior nation
posing as a superior one.
"The arrogance of the aristocrat
is detestable. But the arrogance of
the mere plutocrat is unbearable.
And after all, it is on wealth au
fond that America depends for her
influence. AS a race the Americans
are, as they might put it themselves,

with us is of the remotest. Not more

the rest, a regular world mixture
is responsible-sweden, Norway,
Denmark, Italy, Russia, Spain, yes,

CORN GROWN IN SOME SEC
TIONS FOR COB PIPES ALONE
Many Acres in Central West Are
Devoted to That Industry.

Brier pipes are of all prices, from
the cheapest imitation to the gilt and
gold affairs. Experts aver that the
best briers are imported from Lon
don and Dublin.
There are two factors which have
tended to discourage the meerschaum
pipe industry. If one lets fall meer-
schaum pipe it is likely to break into
many pieces and there is often diff
ficulty in coloring the pipe properly.
Many sorts of new woods and 9TH
er materials deemed suitable for the
making of pipes are constantly ap-
pearing and disappearing with the
changing fashions. Corn cob and clay
pipes still hold their own. The corn
cob is the characteristic American
pipe. Whole acres in Ohio, Illinois,
Missouri and Nebraska are devoted
to raising corn for the special pur-
poses of producing cobs suitable for
pipe bowls. The grain itself is mark
eted of course, but the cob on which
it grows is the real harvest. This is
cut carefully into proper lengths,
smoothed and polished, the soft inner
pulp being gouged out by specially
constructed machinery. The corn cob
pipe is exported to every country IN
the world where men smoke.

LONDON, England.-It may be

HAIR OF WOMAN is
SINGED BY LIGHTNING
Texas Woman Lives to Tell Tale of
Remarkable Experience During a
Terrific Thunderstorm.

SAN ANGELO, Texas.-Few peo-
pie have their hair singed by light
ming and live to tell the tale. But
Mrs. Jeff Enochs had just that expe-
rience last week down at Eldorado.
Mrs. Enochs was in her back yard
with her three children and was en-
gagged in feeding her chickens when
there came a binding flash and a
deafening clap that filled the air with
flying timbers and loosened soil.
Lightning had descended the stove
pipe, ripping up the floor, knocking
the house from its foundation and
filling it with debris. An iron bed
was twisted into blackened iron and
the home caught fire.
The bolt rendered Mrs. Enochs un-
conscious, and her children who had
been further away jumped across a
rent in the earth that resembled a
shell hole and went to her aid.
The woman soon recovered from
the shock. Her home, however, was
burned to the ground.
