F\ SCMRE CROW.
At a time when the crows were pull
ing up his corn as fast as it appeared
above ground, Pascal Ellis of this town
hit upon a plan which brought him re
lief and promises to keep the crows in a
state of uneasiness for several seasons to
come. Ellis argued that in order to
have the crows mistake a scarecrow for
a man, the farmer must construct the
scarecrow in'the likeness of man.
Having reasoned the matter out to his
own satisfaction, Ellis set himself tho
task of building a scarecrow that should
correspond with its name. A painted
mask left over from last Fourth of July,
backed with a shot bag full of sawdust,
made a presentable head, upon which
he placed a str.ped black and crimson
cap which his son had sent home from
Harvard. Over a straw-filled body he
buttoned a striped shirt waist which his
wife left off, and he covered this with a
gorgeous blazer to match the cap. He
clad the legs in a set of gay bloomers
which his daughter had worn when she
rode her bicycle; and articulating the
figure with wire and twine, he set it up
in a field of sprouting corn. The crows
stared at it and could not be coaxed into
thd field. It was a week before much
of the corn was disturbed, the old crows
doing all the mischief, while the chil
dren loafed around on the fences ready
to hide at the first sign of danger.
,Meanwhile Ellis, who had kept an eye
on his handiwork and learned where it
was weak, went to the city and bought
a fiery red jute wig, which he believed
would make sure the deception of the
figure. When the wig was in place
under the striped cap, and the long
tresses flapped to the wind, there was
not a crow in Maine that would go near
the field. The crow's kept away not
only from the patch around by Ellis,
but also the patches of all the farmers
along the ridge. |
Ellis, having vindicated his theory,
made haste to tell others what he had
learned. To do this be went to Orono
■on last Wednesday and delivered a lec
ture on the “Ways of Crows’’ to the
farmers who had come to eat beans at
the annual Field Day banquet. Among
the men who heard Ellis speak was
Geprge Cleveland, a citizen of Orono,
who had sold his clothing store and
retired to a farm just out of the vil
lage. Cleveland bought the farm at
a great bargain, because its former
owner had been vexed so badly by
the students stealing his choicest
fruit that he moved away to avoid
killing somebody. No sooner had
Cleveland taken possession of the
place than the boys invaded his straw
berry yard with increased vigor.
Cleveland had obtained two savage
bull dogs and had ordered an extra
kshotgun from Bangor when he beard
Kilis speak. As he listened a new
■lea came to him.
■ That afternoon as members of the
FROM THE CHICAGO RECORD.
young women’s normal class were re
turning from lectures they saw Cleve
land’s buggy dash by them on its way
home. Cleveland was driving the
horses, and besides him, sitting bolt
upright, and looking straight ahead,
was the best dressed young man they
had seen in Orono This was remark
able, because Cleveland had no chil
dren, and because all the young men
who made the place their home were
either away on their vacations or up
the river on the drives. Considering
how scarce men were,the girls formed
themselves into a committee of the
whole to hunt up the stranger and
find out who he was.
The well-dressed young man sat
on Cleveland’s piazza when the girls
went by the house. Although the
grapevines concealed his features,
they could see his fashionable clothes
and his military shoulders. One of
the girls made a little cry. as if she
had found a snake in the road, hop
ing he would come to her assistance.
When he did not respond, she scream
ed again and started to run, followed
by her companions. They passed
the house on the run, looking over
their shoulders and giggling. After
this they bowed to him, and made re
marks about the favorable condition
of the weather and the surpassing
beauty of the evening. They even
went so far as to state that the river
was in fine condition for boating, and
that suitable craft were hitched to
the landing just down the street. All
of these feminine arts of the Maine
girl’s education having failed to rouse
him to a sense of duty, they all went
home fully resolved that Cleveland’s
bashful young man should be brought
out and made useful.
The next morning, when they went to
early prayers, they saw that Cleveland’s
visitor was up before them, and had
wandered down into a large field near
the river, where he stood on the plough
ed land gazing off toward the hills of
Old Town. Several waved handkerchiefs
at him, and laughed more loudly than
the topic under discussion would warrant.
Their efforts were vain, for the young
man with pink cheeks and auburn hair
preserved his far-away look until the
chapel bell sounded, calling them to duty.
The next two days were filled with sus
pense. Whenever the girls went by
Cleveland’s place they saw the young
man down there in the field. His form
and features were all that should belong
to a man, and his garments were irre
proachable; and yet he would pay no at
tention to the brightest and best-looking
school teacners in eastern Maine. It was
uncommon and unaccountable. The
young man was no doubt a woman hater,
they concluded. Therefore he was a fit
subject for rescue work. Once awake to
a sense of duty, the girls lost no time.
On the next Saturday fourteen young
women, all dressed in shirt waists and all
wearing sailor hats, walked through

Cleveland’s front gate, and, passing be
tween the lines of fruit trees, went up
and pulled the bell, After cuffing two
or three savage dogs into submission.
■Cleveland opened the door and confront
ed them.
•‘Well,” he said coldly, expecting a re
quest for strawberries.
“Mr. Cleveland,” began the leader,
“I—l have come—t'jat is, we—we
think you have a young man visiting
you, and we have called to see if he will
accept an invitation to a picnic.”
“What young man?” asked Cleveland.
“The one who stays down in the field
all the time,” replied the leader; “the
handsome fellow with the little moust
ache.”
“Oh,” said Cleveland, recovering from
his trance an 1 putting on his hat. “I
guess you mean Jim. He’s just up from
Bangor, and I’ll introduce you.”
They crossed the ridge in single file,
Cleveland leading the way. Follow
ing a farm road among some apple
trees, they dipped over the hill and
came face to face with the young man.
“Ladies, this is Jim,” said Cleve
land, taking off his hat. “He worked
in my store in Bangor for ten years,
and I know he has no bad habits. I’ve
just fitted him out with a new suit
and put him up hereto scareaway'
the crows. lam pleased to say that
he is doing his whole duty. ’ ’
The girls meantime had turned red
and begun to giggle. Jim didn’t say
a word. He couldn’t. He was one of
those dummies that clothing dealeis
put in front of their stores.-

Bottled Up!
Whether in the form of pill powdes
or liquid, the doctor’s prescription for
blood diseases is always the same
mercury or potash. These drugs bottle
up and poison and dry it up in the
system, but they also dry up the marrow
in the bones at the same time.
The suppleness and elasticity of the
joints give way to a stiffness, the rack
ing pains of rheumatism. The form
gradually bends, the bones ache, while
decrepitude and helplessness prema
turely take possession of the body, and
it is but a short step to a pair of
crutches. Then comes falling of
the hair and decay of the bones,—a con
dition truly horrible.
HWpOTASH/? Contagious Blood
iMFRCimv/ Poison—the curse
aJ tRC of mankind—is the
m os t horrible of all
S* 1 diseases, and has al-
ways baffled the
doctors. Their pot
ash and mercury
bottle up the poison,
but it always breaks
forth again attack
ing some delicate
organ, frequently
the mouth anti
throat, filling them
with eating sores.
S.S.S., is the only
known cure for this
disease. It i.f guar
anteed purely vege
table, and one thousand dollars reward is
offered for proof to the contrary. It

to your system. Don’t get bottled up !
