Inventors and Detectives


If an automobile or some new
| vehicle comes TO their home, they
proceed to look it all over in detail
just as If they were going to build
one like it. If the visitors who got
out of the auto should go TO the hen
coop or the barn or the garden, one
or more of their number would fol-
low on and study every move they
made as if to take the witness stand
III court to tell all about what was
said and done. If rooster walks
out into the yard and crows where
peacock is sitting on his fence, that
peacock is liable to hop down and
walk up in front of that rooster and
spread out his elegant display of tail
feathers like fan eight feet across,
and look the rooster in the eye as if
to say, SHOW up or shut up If a
hen lays an egg and comes out cackl-
ing, the mother pea fowl is liable to
march her little beauties right up to
that hen and use her for a football
every time she cackles. When she
quits cackling, the mother pea fowl
will leave her alone
Birds Natural Entertainers
If there is nothing doing about the
barnyard and nobody is playing or
furnishing any fun, the pea fowls
may get up game. They. will
range themselves in a circle and
start maiden waltz or something.
Sometimes they do the Indian sun
dance with variations. A peacock
may face the center pin and make
cbeisance and then spread his tail
feathers. Then he makes obeisance
again and begins most beautiful
and graceful dance, ranging forward
and back most charmingly When
he has finished his stunt he will
reach down with his beak and grab
the feathers on his breast or neck
and pull them gently forward while
he dances back to his position and
quits. 1t is like the acrobat when
he holds up his hands to indicate the
completion of an act, but he differs
from the acrobat in that he does not
seem to expect nor desire their ap-
plause. If he does his stunt we'll,
that seems to be sufficient reward
for him, and he is not sensitive about
an expression from his audience. He
is natural sentinel, a natural en-
tertainer, natural detective and
never boasts nor allows anyone else
to boast in his presence without
showing his disapproval. He claims
the right to rebuke every braggart, |
to quietly carry and display his
bright plumage, and to call to his
master at the dawn of day. There
are 10000 farms in Idaho were they
ought to have a pair of them, and
daughters might as well
be raising them for sale.

CAMEL's HUMP A DELICACY

PARIs,-After tasting lions meat
the gourmant's of Paris are disdain-
ing the usual run of beef and mutton
and searching for more exotic food.
The fad OF the moment is camels
hump, which, when delicately sliced
and grilled over a charcoal fire,
makes dish fit for a king. Cancels
hump costs $50 pound. Chops and
steaks of camel's meat are cheaper,
about $40 a pound.

A great deal has been said by
business men about our schools not
turning our young men and women
who are qualified to enter business
and succeed. They enter business
and fail--till they are educated
again by the practical man in bust
ness. Farmers have had a great
deal to say against educating their
boys and girls in the higher institu-
lions of learning because they do
not like to 60 back to the farm to
live.
What the Boy Likes

pigeons or Belgian hares hurries
home from school to go and look at
them and love them and see what
they need. He spends most of his

 The story of the GrotoR-New LeRdon ferry business had been told and retold but it is a subject that will not dies and it will probably continue to be for the years to come just what Miss Caulkins said 1t was in her history of New Lon 6lon written fifty years ago: ''The New London -Groton ferry has aways been a vexatious question for the city of New London Much has been said and written in commendation of the general manage
 nent. As has been said before it is one of the worst of munic..esl mistakes. and a burden upon the city, that seems to be growing heavier as time goes on. The latest phase of the ferry manage l ment. or mismanagement depending up on the slant taken by the observer was 1 brought to a head on Thursday of the present week. when an increase in the ferriage rates went into effect The fare being raised from three to five cents, by order of the ferry commissioners, and without consulting the people of Grotor who pay the freight. Under the presen cost of operation Instead of cutting dowr theexpenses. the fare rate was raised to make good the deficit. or a part there stand the rest It must also sbe renlem bered that the city must maintain ina l ferry regardless of cost. From the earlies days the ferry franchise has been ir the possession of the city of New Lon 1 don.
 GrOton wanted to be partner with New London in the ferry business some thir | recognition in the business before the leg l islature. Groton was turned down, bu I that legislative fight had it's effect jus
 the same. The conditions of the must, old charter were changed in many de | tails and an established rate of ferriag l was fixed. That rate cannot be legall, !, changed. so some Grotonians are nov l claiming, except by legislative action 1 If that be so, the city is liable to b, defendant in lawsuit. as there are peo pie in Crotch who declare the increas
 ed rates will be paid in protest, and tn
 authority to make the raise by the com l missioners will be tested out in tn l courts.

Have You Piles?

Then You Have Something to Learn.
 Thousands who have piles have not
 learned that quick and permanent re- lief can only be accom- plished with in-
 ternal medicine. Neither cutting nor
 any amount of treatment with oint- ments and suppositories will remove
 the cause.
 Bad circulation causes piles. There
 is a complete stagnation of blood in the lower bowel and a weakening of the parts. Dr. J. s. Leonhardt wau first o find the remedy. His prescrip- tion is HEM -ROID, tablet medicine. taken internally, that is now sold by druggists generally. pr. .Leonhardt tried it in 1000 cases with the marvel ous record of success in 9S per cent. and then decided it should be sold un- der rigid money-back qua arantee.

And he started to sing as he tackled the

He started to sing as he tackled the thing

INTERPRETING SCOUT OATH

There is something about that scout
oath and law Of ours that puts the
iron in the blood and the steel into the
soul, says Richard Brauenstein of
Sharon, Conn.
Just think what the result will be
when every boy OF scout age In the
land begins to interpret that oath and
law in his daily life, his walk and talk.
We will be giving the world what Pro-
fessor James calls "the moral equlva-
lent OF war"
This learned man said. "The martial
character can be bred without war;
He tells us that the military ideals
Of hardhood and discipline can be
imbued into the life Of young Amer
lea. by conscripting every man into
the struggle with nature.
ITO coal and iron mines. to freight
trains, to fishing fleets In December.
to road building and stoke holes and
to the frames OF skyscrapers would
our gilded youth be drafted to get the
childishness knocked out OF them and
to come back to society with healthier
sympathies and soberer ideas"
1t was Tennyson who wrote. Peace
hath her victories no less renowned
than war" And in that oath and law
OF ours see potentlalities. sublimities,
ma jesties, achievements.
