KEEPS OUT OF WATER NOW Gander With Fishing Line Tied to His Leg Has Lively Time 3 With Plckerel. A Wisconsin gander was so upset by experiments made upon and through him by a mischievous boy that for a long time he would not go Into the water. The gander’s determination to ab- stain from water as a means of bath- ing grew out of the following circum- stances: The boy thought he would tie a fish- ing-line to the gander’s leg and with & hook properly baited turn the bird out into the water. The bait was a trog. The gander went into the mill pond, where he swam around for halt an hour, turning “filp-flaps” and diving for food. Suddenly he felt a pull at his leg and looked as surprised as the “lone fisherman” when he caught a whale. . The gander concluded that there and he The several Jerks, whereupon the gander decided was something the matter, looked to ascertain the cause. pickerel on the hook gave that he wanted to go home.

After half an hour ot the hardest work he had ever done, the gander six-pound came ashore dragging a pickerel up the pank. The boy took off the pickerel ana paited the hook with another frog. He tried to induce the gander to go in for another swim, but no amount of persuasion could get the bird to do so. He simply could not be driven in.

He would seem to be arguing with them with reference to the danger they were courting. Massachusetts Game Farm. A game farm ol between 5,000 and 6,000 acres in Carver and Plymouth has been acquired by the American Game Protective and Propagation as- sociation on a ten years lease, with option or purchase, and elaborate ex- periments are proposed for conserv- ing the wild life of the New Eng- land forests and waters.

DON'T WAIT SO LONG One of the most surprising things in the world to druggists is that so unnecessary many people endure suffering and trouble. Every day they hear people say, “I have been feeling so weak and the last few months that I finally decided to come and ask miserable for you what to do for it.” For inslance, Miss Zulah Teagar- den, of Connellsville, Pa., says in a “For years I had been in bad health owing to run-down system and letter: general weakness. tite, sirength.

NED DEARBORN’S BULLETIN Agricultural Department's Experts Ak 8o Will Recommend Skunk, Rattle- snake and Other Objection- able Creatures. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—One of the expert bl ologists of the department of agricul- ture, Mr. Ned Dearborn, says that the English sparrow is a pest, a which hardly needed repetition, and thing They do these things rather better in the old coun- try, and it s proposed to import a association Wed- 0. E. was tired tout, and had no that one way to get rid of them is to eat them. Mr. Dearborn’s front name Is Ned and it is not a nickname. It is his baptismal name and the books that he has written are all “by Ned Dearborn.” His name has appeared in the newspapers N. E. D. Dearborn, Edward Dearborn, Edwin Dearborn and in various other ways, for no one seems to be able to realize that any man could have such a baptismal cog- nomen as Ned, but so it is. Mr. Dearborn has issued a bulletin telling how to trap English sparrows, how to shoot them and how to cook and eat them. He says that sparrows as food compare favorably with the best kinds of smaller game. Years ago some one tried to induce the peo- ple of the congested districts in the cities to eat English sparrows. There is no reason why they should not’ be eaten for they are good food, but while the dwellers of the tenements who had this food at their doorsteps re- fused to avail themselves of it scores of millionaires were paying reed bird prices in the swell hotels for English sparrows and while it was a deceit to substitute the sparrow for the reed bird, it was not in one sense any vio- lation of the pure food law. Skunk Better Than Rabbit. One can learn from the agricultural department if the members should choose to write about it or tell about It that there are scores of animals - |In the United States which no one thinks of eating and yet which are perfectly deliclous food when properly cooked. Can anyone imagine a man eating a skunk? And yet a skunk properly prepared is by no means to be despised. It is said that the edi. bility of the skunk was learned by an experimenter who noticed that great t [horned owls were very fond of skunks and that they would catch them, kill them and eat them in preference to rabbit. So one experimenter tried the f |tkunk and found that the meat was better than that of the rabbit. Years ago a government expedition was gent into the Death Valley to make blological, botanical and geolog- lcal researches. The members had & hard time of it getting enough to eat. They found in the Death Valley a pe- cullarly repulsive looking creature that looked like a cross between a Gila monster and a horned toad. It looked like the last thing in the world e |Which anybody would like to eat, and yet its flesh was found to be perfectly delicious. Nor can this be wondered t perhaps when one of the govern- ment sclentists discovered that the creature lived entirely on the blos- poms of flowers, of course getting some few Insects with its floral dlet. It was a repulsive looking Jcreature with a most dainty appetite, and some- thing of the sweetness of its food im- parted itself to its flesh. A great many people know that the muskrat is good eating. The govern- ment’s scientists found this out a long time ago and they have written bulle- tins about the muskrat as food. It has been found that the name rat destroys people’s appetites for this creature. In the markets of Baltimore and oc- cagionally in Washington muskrats are sold in large quantities, but are they called muskrats? No, they are called marsh rabbits. = The frog is not a delectable looking creatures and yet of course as every- body knows it is eaten and enjoyed by millions of people.

Some men squirm at the thought of eating eels, while others eat them and consider them the best of fish. If an eel, why not a snake? Down in the Bouthwest rattlesnakes have been eaten frequently with no bad results. The flesh of the rattler is said to be white and of good flavor.

He did not know what it was but pronounced it mighty good. Later he was told what he had eaten and although in his tramping afleld he had been compelled many a time to eat all kinds of things, the thought that he had eaten a snake was too much for him and nature re- volting, he parted with his breakfast. A good many field scientists' say that it 1s prejudice alone which pre- vents men from eating what they might eat and perhaps in the interest of economy ought to eat. There is vegetable matter which some people regard as polsonous and against which there is other prejudice and yet many of the wild vegetables of the fleld are wholesome and if they were trans planted to the garden could be raised in quantities and be sold for good prices in the market—that is, proyided the name could be changed and the prejudice could be killed. Sparrow Stole a Plume. ‘While standing on the corner of Fife teenth street and New York avenue yesterday afternoon a well dressed young woman had a small plume torn from her hat by the strong wind. The plume, which was light green, landed In the gutter ten feet away. Several men offered their services to recover the plume, when a sparrow, seeing the fluffy feather, and realizing its comfort if gotten safely to his nest, :;mtched it in his mouth and flew to e top of the Riggs Bank bullding~ MIODESTY IS A MALE VIRTUE Nith Women It 1s no More Than an Artificial Proteotive Devlioe, Says Writer. And in this same connection it 18 lme that we revised our ideas of leminine modesty. What a lot we lave written about it and how much We have enthused over it! Some of 1s have even tried to find in it an in- spiration, and women have listened to our praises and our esctasies-for all these years and never once have they divulged thé secret that they had not the slightest idea what we were talk- Ing about. They have known that we were crediting them with some virtue that they did not possess, but the only way in whick they could learn of that virtue Was by an observation of our- selves. For modesty is a male, nota female, virtue, and if mep do not get the credit due to them it 18 only because What is called feminine modesty is no more than an artificial protective device, something that s assumed for a purpose, like a revolver. . It has no basis in consclousness. But male modesty has a basis in consclousness and is unassumed. No power on earth could persuade a man to enter a draw- ing room stripped to the sixtieth de- gree of latitude. He would be quite shy about it if only men were present, but women will do this in the pres- ence of both sexes, and many of them would go lower still but for the con- ‘ventions. Now a woman who had to walk down the street in decollete dress would probably blush. She would say that her modesty was offended, but actually it is her sense of the appro- priate that would be offended, for she has not the least objection to bath- ing in public—that is to say, playing about on the sands—in a costume far more exposive than the decollete gown. In short, a woman’s sense of modesty is one-half a protective pose and one-half a sense of the appropri- ate. If you want a natural and un- spoiled modesty you have to go ta men for it.—The Argonaut. Her Comprehensive Reply. “I ask only,” in well modulated tones said the earnest, fiddle faced young man, “that you give me what you can of your love and that' you never strive for my sake to deny any yearning or strangle any impulse that pants within you. Give me what you can while you can give it without grudging or regretting, but the mo- ment you feel that it is a task to love me renounce me forever, though the verdict pierce me to the very heart.” “How cute!” returned the flufty young thing. - “But—ee—hee! heel— yes, Willoughby!”—Puck. ‘About a Woman, Mr. Gudeman—Little boys shouldn’t fight.

THE FIRST GRAY HAIR SIGN OF AGE Easy Way to Preserve Natural Color Of the Hair and Make It Grow. A harmless remedy, made from common garden sage, quickly restores gray hair to natural color. The care of the hair, to prevent it from losing its color and lustre, is just as im- portant as to care for teeth to keep them from discoloring. Why spend money for cosmeties and creams to improve the complexion, and yet neg- lect your hair, when gray hair is even more conspicuous and sugges- tive of age than wrinkles or a poor complexion? Of the two, it is easier to preserve: the natural color and beauty of the hair than it is to have a good complexion. o All that is necessary is the occa- sional use of Wyeth’s Sage and Sul- phur Hair Remedy, a preparation of common garden Sage and Sulphur, combined with other valuable reme- dies for dry, harsh, faded hair. After a few applications of this simple harmless remedy your hair will grad- ually be restored to its natural color, in a short time the dandruff will be removed, and your hair will no long- er come out but will start to grow as Nature intended it should. Don’t neglect your hair, for it goes further than anything else to make or mar your good looks. You can buy this remedy at any drug store for fifty cents a bottle, and your druggist will give your money back if you are not satisfied after using. Purchase a bottle today. You will never regret it when you realize the difference it will make in your ap- pearance.
