MIGRATING BIRDS. They Travel Slowly and Feast and Sinj by the Way. It. vvijH supposed formerly that mi gran birds traveled very rapidly, the eotey t-o.ering, the distance between soiit kern and northern states in an imp ' dibly short time. Some were even said to fly at the rate of fifty and sixty miles an hour and to hours keep *. day, his up for eight and ten a as if apxious to get hack to iheir winter or summer haunts. 7, he very contrary has been found to be the case. The migra¬ tion journey is a period of harvest time joy and celebration for the birds. It is a period of feasting and oftentimes of song. The birds move lowly if the food is abundant, lin ,'eriry in one place for days and veck# where the harvest is particul¬ arly good. Instead of traveling they rapidly in their great migration, only frequently in the autumn move at hie rate of a few miles a day miles and not infrequently only a few a week. When the seeds of the weeds rip¬ en in the late summer and fall the pillions of migratory birds begin their journey southward, devouring the weed seeds at the most critical stage of their lives. A few of the birds cat a number of seeds through¬ out the whole summer, but the vast majority eat them in the early au¬ tumn and early spring, a few stay¬ ing north to pick up seeds which fall on the ground when covered with snow. They gorge themselves with the weed seeds until their stomachs are distended to three times their normal size. All the common song and plumage birds are great seed destroyers. Blackbirds, meadow larks, sparrows, doves, quails, siskins, grosbeaks and grass birds will eat all the way from 100 to 1,000 seeds of weeds at a sin¬ gle meal. It is becoming evident to students of birds that they are influenced al¬ most solely in their migratory hab¬ its by the harvest of weed seeds and not by the climate. Formerly it was supposed that the birds- started southward as soon as the chill of au¬ weather tumn approached, but cold, frosty anil bird, might come in August, the would not begin to mi¬ grate. The, are not weather proph N at all, but simply hungry little matures in search of ripening seeds. Stuck to the Tracks. A story is told of a Kentucky .ountuineer who had never seen a railroad train, One day he consent¬ ed to go to town and see the won¬ der. lie arrived a little ahead of train time, and, getting impatient as he waited, he walked up the track to meet it. lie met it as it rounded a taineer curve. Turning along about, the the moun¬ ran track as for his life. “Toot, toot!” sounded the loco¬ motive, only slowing up. But the moun¬ taineer dug the gravel more in¬ dustriously than ever. He soon reached the station, completely out of breath. /‘Why didn’t the you bystanders. cut across?” in¬ quired “Cut one across!” of exclaimed the un¬ couth hr!. “If I had struck the plowed vi"- !, the thing certainly would have caught me!” To3 Much Economy. “Ton dor'; look well this morn¬ ing,” remark' d the foreman as a factory hand entered a Detroit es¬ tablishment the other morning. “Xaw!” was the response. “Ain’t nobody well to my house.” “What scorns to be the matter?” asked the foreman as thoughts of other smallpox, diphtheria, cholera braid. and diseases ran through his “Stinginess,” was the unexpected answer. “You see, we bought a new house awhile ago, and we econo¬ mized to pay for it. We got so dad blamed stingy that we didn’t eat enough, ar.d now we’re payin’ the doctor t > pay for the money we saved to pay for th’ house.”—De¬ troit News. Temptation Too Much For a Neophyte. Bishop delight Dudley of Kentucky used to in a story of a colored girl hi his church. “Supposing,” he red her, “that you were walking mg the road and saw a low liawg » branch and on that, low branch s a nice fat chicken. What would i do ?” v “Don’t ask me dat question, boss,” she begged. Tell “Oh, yes. me, what would you do ?” “Well, boss, you know I’s only just an infant in de kingdom.” Which ended the conversation.— Boston L’ecord. The Right Platform. There is only one set of prin¬ ciples to place in the next Nat' ional Democratic platform and that is such principles as stand for, good true and honest govern¬ ment—a simple government of tne people, for the people—a popular government where the president and the public servants at V\ asliington are unawed by the power of money or circum¬ stance—demands that the integ¬ rity of this country shall be maintained in the smallest way and in the largest sense—a de¬ mand that civilization shall be advanced and that progress shall be unretarded. Tnere should be a demand for a tariff to pro duce enough revenue to pay the expenses of government. There should be an honest, plain, un equivocating platform that will demand that this government re main aloof from any entangling foreign alliance, and a declara¬ tion that our government has no foes to punish and no national friends to reward. In other, words, it should a plain, old fashioned, honest, fearless, truthful platform and the man on it should be a democrat, be¬ lieving in every word of the honesty and patriotism of the platform’s meaning. With such a platform and such a man, there can be no doubt of the issue in November. Colds cause Pneumonia! Owe of the most remarkable cases of a qolrt, deep-seated on the lungs, causing pneumonia, is that of Mrs. Gertrude E. Fenner, Marion, lad. who was entirely cured by the use of One Minute Cough Cure. She says: “The coughing and straining so weakened me that 1 run down in weight from 148 to 02 pounds. I tried a number of remedies to no avail until I used One Minute Cough Cure. Four hot. ties cured me entirely of the cough, strengthened my lungs and restored me to my normal weight, health and strength.” Bold by Lewis Drug Co. The Albany Herald presents this argument in ftvor of good roads: Good roads help make good farms. Good farms help build good towns. It is there¬ fore equally important for far¬ mers and city dwellers to enlist under the banner cf the good roads movement, which is every year gaining impetus and bring¬ ing us nearer the time when our country highways will be as sub¬ stantially built and carefully maintained as the paved thor¬ oughfares of our cities Wakeful Children. For a long time the two year old child of Mr. P. L. McPherson, 59 N. Tenth St., Harrisburg, Pa. would sleep but two or three hours in the early part of the night, which made it very hard for her parents. Her mother concluded that the child had stomach trouble, andfgave her half of one of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets, which quieted her stomach and she slept the whole night through. Two boxes of these Tablets have effected a permanent cure and she is now well :uid strong. For s;vle by Lewis Drug Co.
