Erwin Kainar was a visitor at
our office Saturday, he stated
that some of the town boys have
been shooting bis pigeons, a
number of which were crippled
and flew home only to die on
their nests, and some that lived
have their legs shot off or other-
wise crippled. We cannot see
why anyone wants to shoot tame
pigeons that are pets of the
farmers. Who ever has been
doing this will confer a favor on
the owners and all true sports-
men by stopping this foolishness
in the future. It is wrong and
should be stopped. If these
were your pets and someone shot
md crippled them, you would
int to fight, the other fellow
Eeels the same way about it.
The Sticker office acknow-
ledges receipt of many beautiful
calanders. We appreciate them
realizing that the business men
spent a neat sum tp give them
away. A finer present for a
multitude could not be given.
Suppose every one stopped for
just one year giving calanders.
Would we not be in an awful
predicament? We would beiglad
to spent a dollar for one, as we
could not get along without them.
Therefore we say we Jare grate-
ful and thank the business men
for the ones we received.

"Cheshire Cat" Grin
Variously Explained
The expression, "to grin like a Ches-
hire cat," has never been satisfactorily
accounted for. It was popularized by
Lewis Carroll in- his "Adventures of
Alice in Wonderland." In this pretty
story the Cheshire cat is a grinning
cat which makes its appearance to
' give Alice advice. The first time the
cat suddenly disappears. But after
considerable persuasion by Alice the
cat returns and then disappears grad-
ually and almost imperceptibly. The
last thing to vanish was the grin, says
tiie Detroit News.
It is said that cheese originally
made In Cheshire, England, was
jnolded into forms like a grinning cat.
the word "Cheshire," is pronounced
"Chesh-ir," with the accent on the first
syllable and the "i" short as in "irri-
tate." There is also a humorous ex-
planation of this phrase. Cheshire is
one of those counties in England
known as counties palatine—that Is,
the count or earl has certain royal
privileges. This idea, it is said, is so
funny to the cats in that region that
they are perpetually amused at it. A
person who shows his teeth when he
laughs is said "to grin like a Cheshire
cat." The expression is especially ap-
plied io a forced or sneering smile.
Quite Capable
There Is nothing sinful about hav-
ing a reasonable pride in one's be-
longings and estate, but when a man
has not the sense to keep his mouth
shut about them he becomes a general
nuisance.
A farmer of this order had met a
few of his acquaintances on the mar-
ket day, and. as usual, soon monopo-
lized the whole of the conversation,
talking about his steam thresher, his
reaping machine, his barns, his this
and his that, until they were all
heartily tired of listening to him. He
was the first to go, however.
"Aye," says one of them, "and has
ye a wln'mill?"
"Na, that's what ah hae nae."
"Well, man, it's a pity ye had nae,
for ye could blaw it yersel'."—London
Weekly Telegraph.
Home of Little Spirits
"Little Devil's Hill," which is to be
found in Clay county, South Dakota,
Is a strange looking flat topped hill in
the midst of level prairie. It is 3A
yards long, GO or 70 yards wide, and
about 70 feet high. The top is a
smooth level plain. The Indians made
this hill a great article of their super-
stition. They called It the Mountain
of Little People, or Little Spirits.
They believed it was the abode of lit-
tle devils in human form, about 18
inches high, with remarkably large
heads, and armed with sharp arrows,
with which they were very skilful.
They were always on the watch to
kill those who approached their resi-
dence. The tradition was that many
harl suffered from these little evil
spirits.

Couldn't Blame Barnum
for Elephant's Color
Old circus men are fond of relating
how the white elephant of the Barnum
& Bailey Greatest was brought into the
country. The coming of the sacred
elephant had been heralded for days.
Finally the sbip was sighted and the
press department took a bunch of news-
paper writers down the bay to meet
the great card of next season's show.
P. T. Barnum hi^iself was in the party.
All hands were taken aboard and then
down Into the dim light of the hold to
look at the pure white specimen from
India. Then a dinner followed at which
the grape was a feature. Then an-
other look at the elephant to see if he
was still white. While this was going
on a doubting newspaper man re-
marked to Mr. Barnum that he did not
think the elephant was so darned
white.
"Well," replied the circus man, 'Til
tell you. This reminds me of the times
up Bridgeport way when I was spark-
ing. I noticed at a surprise party one
night a very pretty girl who had re-
markable color in her cheeks, and I
said to my boy friend: 'I wonder if
that peach bloom is real.'
"To my dismay, the girl heard the
remark and turning on me she said
with a snap, 'Phineas Barnum, God
made that color in my cheeks.'"
Continuing, Mr. Barnum saicT":
"Boys, God made this white elephant.
I assure you had he been made by Mr.
Bailey and myself he would be as
white as the driven snow."—Wells
Hawks in Collier's.
Good Results From
Use of Printer's Ink
A peddler knocked at great-grand-
mother's door, says the Portland
Press-Herald. "Want any nutmegs?"
he asked, as he showed her his offer-
ing of beautiful, big nutmegs, at a
price ridiculously low. Grandfather
and all the then-little great-aunts and
great-uncles loved the nutmeg's spicy
fiayor, so great-grandmother stocked
up with a generous order. That
night out of the oven came a glorious
old-fashioned rice pudding, and out of
the cupboard came the grater and
one of the new nutmegs to give it the
final touch of deliciousness. But the
scrape of the nutmeg upon the grater
did not produce the tasty flavoring—•
the result was sawdust. Grandmoth-
er had bought a wooden nutmeg from
the Connecticut peddler.
i We do much better nowadays. Ad-
vertised merchandise protects great-
grandmother's great-granddaughters.
Today the manufacturer uses print-
er's Ink to tell about his product and
he signs his name to the statement.
And then he makes his statement
good, for advertising builds confi-
dence, and confidence means trade.
The continued patronage of the ad-
vertising columns shows that It pays
the advertisers; the fact that no
wooden nutmegs are sold today is one
of the many signs that show how ad?
vertlsing helps readers.
Civilization and Wells
Behind the drilling of the French
artesian wells in southern Algeria is,
according to Phillips, the story of the
slow, but usually peaceful, conquest of
an old civilization by a new. Until, the
coming of the French in the late ^SOs
of the last century the wells of the
northern Sahara had all been painfully
dug by hand, often with indifferent
success. The first French wells, by
good luck, were located in what is
called the Oued Rir, where two of the
Sahara's former rivers had once
joined, and where much of the drain-
age from a tract of desert 700 miles
long and from 300 to 400 miles broad
still collected. The first artesian well,
which began to flow in June, 1856, wa%
regarded as miraculous by the na-
tives.
As the drilling of wells progressed,
new areas were added to cultivation
and settled life In towns took the place
of the old wandering existence for
many Inhabitants of the Sahara.
Wild Duck Unable to Fly
) Catching birds by running after
them and sprinkling salt on their talis
Is proverbially difficult. On one of
those lonely island specks in the larg-
est of oceans, known as the Hawaiian
bird reservation, is a peculiar species
of teal which has lost the power of
flight. This wild duck can be easily
run down by a man on foot. But as
men do not come to this island once
In a blue moon It would seem safe.
However, It has to have fresh water
and the only fresh water on the al-
most barren island is a small pool.
Should the encroaching sands cover
the pool, which seems likely, this rare
flightless duck must die.

Good Qualities of Bass
Bass have proved themselves to be
good fathers, according to a report
made by a state conservation commis-
sion. The black variety will guard
its young after hatching and will de-
fend its shoal against big odds, having
been known to attack the pickerel and
pike when they swim too close to its
•warm.—Popular Mechanics Magazine.
Noms in Mythology
Wove Fabric of Fate
Norns were the fates of Scandina-
vian mythology. They were three
young women, by name Urth, Ver-
dandt and Skuld—past, present and
future. They sat by the well of Ur-
darbrunnr under the ash tree Yggdra-
sil, and there determined the fate of
gods and men. Every day they drew
water from a spring and with it
sprinkled the tree, that its branches
might not rot and wither away, says
the Detroit News.
Originally there appears to have
been but one norn—Urth—and her
character was conceived in a gloomy
night, making her often equivalent to
death doom. Later two others were
added. Two of these gave the bless-
ings, the third the ills of life. In the
legend of "Sleeping Beauty" the norns
are represented as thirteen women.
Usually they were conceived as spin-
ners, weaving the fabric of fate.
Besides these great norns there
were many inferior ones, both good
and bad; for, says the Prose Edda,
when a man is born there is a norn
i to determine his fate, and the same
authority tells us that the unequal
destinies of men in the world are at-
tributable to the different dispositions
of the norns. These lesser norns cor-
respond to the genii of classic mythol-
ogy. Women who possessed the power
of prediction or magic also bt re this
name.
Busy Ant by No Means
a Nuisance in Burma
Most people regard ants as a nui-
sance, especially in a garden or at a
picnic, but the natives of Burma have
found a use for them.
This country grows and exports
sandal-wood, one of the most valuable
and beautiful timbers in the world.
The greater part of every tree felled
is useless, however, for only the
fragrant scented heart has any com-
'mercial value, i:nd to transport the
whole log would make even that not
worth the cost of removal.
I So the trees, after being stripped of
their branches, are allowed to lie
where they have fallen. The soft,
sappy wood, which is useless in com-
merce, attracts the billions of ants
who infest the forest, and to whom It
Is a tit-bit In helping themselves the
ants help the sandal-wood merchant,
for they leave the hard heart of the
trunk stripped of all its worthless in-
tegument, and thus do for nothing the
work of many human laborers.
Usefulness in the Business
The president of a bank in Chicago
was telling some friends at his club of
a red-headed office boy he had lately
taken into his employ.
"He came to me," said the banker,
"with recommendations from his fa-
ther, who was a schoolmate of mine.
After I read the note from the father,
I told the boy to take off his hat, sit
down in a chair and tell me why he
wanted to be a banker. His answer
was:
j " 'Because I am good at multiply-
ing.'
j "'Well,' I said, 'can't you subtract
and divide, too?'
I " 'Oh, yes,' he said, 'but because a
banker wants to make all he can, I
'thought you wanted a boy who could
multiply.'"—Philadelphia Ledger.
Restaurant Man Warned
"Tonkey," doorman at the Palace
theater, Is perfectly normal on iome
subjects—a majority, In fact—but he
has a perfect obsession on the ques-
tion of Mike Genora's famous corned-
beef-and-cabbage. Genora, burned out
in the Capitol hotel fire, is reopening
soon in the old Carl Ries store—as
soon as redecoration is completed.
5 Saturday "Tonkey" met "Mike" on
the street.
"Lissen, y' old buzzard," murmured
Tonkey in sweetest tones. "If you
don't get your dang old chow dump
opened up soon, and cook some corned
beef and cabbage, my lovely disposi-
tion is gonna be ruined. C. B. & C.
the first day, kid, or I'm gonna do
some Black Hand for a certain Ital-
ian I know."—Houston Post.
Champion Mean Man
; A wealthy man visited a school and
gave an address. When he was
through he called a little boy up to
him and said, "My lad, have you a
purse?" "No, sir." "I'm sorry," said
the rich man. "If you had Fd have
given you half a dollar to put into it."
■ The same man was scheduled to
speak there again the following month,
and when he came the boys were pre-
pared for him; an empty purse lay
hidden in every pair of trousers. And j
sure enough at the end of his speech,
he called another boy to him. "Have'
you a purse, little man?" he asked. |
"Yes, sir." 'Tm glad of that," said!
the speaker. "If you hadn't, I should
have given you half a dollar to buy
one."—The Pathfinder.
Race Horses Oddly Named
The odd names given to race horses
are always Interesting and Invariably
have reason, which is more than can
be said of the names of famous gallop- j
ers of the early part of the Nineteenth
century. Among these quaint names
are recorded: "Jack Come Tickle Me,"
"Jenny Come Tye Me," "I Am Little—
Pity My Condition," "Sweeter When
Clothed," "Watch Them and Catch
Them," and "Britons Strike Home." j
One wonders what the modern book-
maker would make of these labels on
a hot day. Probably the name which
has given the fraternity most trouble
In recent years was Volodyovskl,
which won the Derby In 1901.
Tom Moore's Visit to , ^
This Country Recalled
Thomas Moore's visit to Niagara
and other parts of Canada in 180-1 is
recailed by a Niagara reader of the
Toronto Globe.
"I first heard of It," she saya, "when
visiting the house Moore lived in ut
Ste. Anne. An old French gentleman
who took us to the house told us that
few Canadians seemed to know that
Moore had lived in Canada for many
months and written a number of
poems and songs while here. He
quoted 'The Whip-poor-will,' and said
it was written at Niagara. The old
house of Martin McLellan (who was
killed while saving the guns May 27,
1813), now owned by Mr. Usher, was
the house from 'which the smoke so
gracefully curled,' for It was the only
house whose chimneys could be seen
fi'om Fort George."
Moore's collected poems contain a
group of his compositions while In
America, passing through the eastern
states to Buffalo, Niagara falls, Niag-
ara, Montreal, Quebec and Halifax.
It is evident from his poems and his
prose introduction that it was not a
very happy visit, though a poem like
"The Canadian Boat Song" Is a wor-
thy fruit of his impressions. When he
took ship at Halifax his farewell poem
referred to "chill Nova Scotia's un-
promising strand," and there are ref-
erences to what he considered the
crudity of the New world.
How Malays Get Fire
From Compressed Air
The Inhabitants of the Malay penin-
sula have a method of obtaining fire
which Is probably unique among primi-
tive peoples. They utilize the prin-
ciple that the compression of air
raises its temperature, one known to
every man who has ever pumped up a
tire, but one which it is most surpris-
ing to find in the possession of a
group of aborigines.
A tiny pump of wood, hardly more
than three inches in length and with
a bore of about half an inch, is used,
says the New York World. This pump
is open at one end, closed at the other.
In It fits closely a plunger equipped
with a round knob at one end and a
piston-like expansion at the other.
The piston end of the plunger is
dipped In tinder, which the native car-
ries In a moth's cocoon, which makes
an absolutely watertight container.
The piston is placed in the pump and
the knob struck sharply.
The compression of the air raises
the temperature to such a degree that
the tinder is ignited, and when the
piston ^is withdrawn it is found to be
glowing. The native blows on the
glowing mass, inserts it into his ready-
laid fuel, and presto! he has his fire.
This method is quicker by far than
the friction method used by most
primitive races.
Man's Chief Interest
She had gone out to dinner with her
suitor. She had felt In particularly gay
and sprightly mood, and had talked,
she felt, quite entertainingly of this
and that. Many had been the amus-
ing incidents she had told.
But toward the end of the evening
her suitor seemed very dejected and
unhappy.
"What has been the trouble? Did
anything happen today to make you
blue?" she asked. Surely the evening
bad been a success.
"No, the day was a very good one,"
he said.
"But tonight? Haven't you enjoyed
it?" she asked, surprised.
"Well," he returned, "you know a
man likes to talk about himself when
he takes a girl out, and yoij haven't
given me a chance all evening."
Momentous Question
The following anecdote is taken
from the "Life of the Rt.-Hon. Sir
Henry Campbell-Bannerman," by J. A.
Spender. A picture appeared in an
English paper which bore the title, "Is
It Peace or War?" in which Campbell-
Mannerman was photographed talking
with King Edward. Around them the
visitors stood at a respectful distance.
A friend of his said later: "The artist
has hit you off very well." Campbell-
Bannerman looked at the picture quiz-
zically and said: "Would you like to
know what the king was saving to
me?" The friend said he would. "He
wanted to have my opinion whether
halibut was better baked or boiled."
Bird Does Scavenger Work
The adjutant bird Is a voracious
carrion-eating EastTndlan stork, some-
times 6 feet in height and 14 feet in
expanse of wings, with a large bill,
the skin of the head naked, and a
pouchlike appendage on the Interior
surface of the neck. The plumage Is
black or ash-colored, and furnishes
the marabou-feathers of India. The
adjutant feeds on frogs, fish, reptiles,
etc.r and is the scavenger of Indian
towns. It derives its name from the
comical gravity with which it stalks
along.
Turkish Name for Capital
Stambol is the Turkish name of Con-
stantinople. It Is specifically applied
to that portion of the city—Constan-
tinople proper—that lies south of the
Golden Horn, as distinguished from
Christian Constantinople, lying on the
north side. Stambol occupies the site
of ancient Byzantium and contains the
mosque of St. Sophia, the Seraglio and
almost all the antiquities to be seen in
the city. Christian Constantinople is
pre-eminently a commercial quarter.
The name is written also Istambol.—
Kansas City Star.
