POPPING BUEDS K THE AIE. : '
A Most Ingenlons Scbeme for Extermlnat
i lng English Sparrows. . ...
A good story is told In the Louisville
Commercial of a - clever saleman 8
scheme for introduolng fcls brand ol
baking powder in a Western town.
Those wrho know of the incident say
that it originated in the mind of Com
modore Delevan Peck, of this city, and
the clever young man was introducing
Thepure Baking Powder. ' The Com
mercial's story is as follows: v
"One of .the slickest men I ever saw
was a young fellow out West, . who was
selling baking powder, and was up to
alt the dodges to advertise his goods.
He happened to strike one little town in
whleh English sparrows were a great
nuisance,! and the authorities had of
fered a bounty on sparrow headaA The
baking powder, man saw a golden op
portunity to give his goods a big repu
tation, and offered to exterminate all
of the sparrows In town inside of two
"His proposition was gladly accepted,
so he began his work. He selected a
large vacant lot as the scene of his ope
rations, and every evening would go
out there with several bushels of corn,
which he fed to the sparrows until they
began to get acquainted with him and
came to the lot in bigger droves every
day. In the meantime he had sent East
and bought a barrel of empty capsules,
which he had filled with; the baking
powder, and then put salt, on the out
side of them. V " ' '
"When he saw that all of the spar
rows in town were coming to the feed
ground, he had a large tank of water
tlaced there, and was ready for the
-uma-r On this eventful even
ing he took his salted capsules of bak-ro-
rnwrlfr to the lot. instead of corn
and threw them out to the unsuspecting
sparrows. Of course, the salt maae ine
,ri- thirstv. and they immediately
flew to the water tank and drank,
tva Twiiit was somewhat awful.
and
V "The water melted the capsptes and
made the baking powder Tise. The poor
little birds tried to stay on the ground,
but the baking powder WM too strong,
and compelled them to rise straight up
into the air, and finally popped them
open. The spectators could plainly hear
the sparrows pop, and said j that It
nrrnnded like the popping of a paper
hi?. It rained popped sparrows all
night. It is needless to say that there
is only-one brand of baking powder for
sale in that town " .

The Baron TVadenl.
Some years ago, when the boom was
raging in Southern California, a great
seaport city was about to be built. It
was called "Ballpna." Beautiful chro-mo-lithographs
of a magnificent har-bor,
with grea't ships riding at their anchors
while long trains of cars were lqading
at vast docks, were scattered through
Southern California. It was whispered
that "the Santa Fe road was behind
it" People began to think they had
"better get in on Ballona." A party
of gentlemen jwent down from Los
Angeles to look at it. Some of them
were financially interested in Ballona,
md Borne of them were not yet. Among
the latter was a foreigner, a genial
French baron. The party dined co
piously at an adjacent hostelry, an
men went to look at the harbor."
Most of the party were a-trifle sur
prised when they saw . the narrow
slough which was called . "the harbor."
However, three of them got into a boat
to cross "the harbor." The baron waa
one. Of the other two one was a hard
ened Joker, and the third ah officer high
in the United States army. , On the way
over, the joker conceived the Idea ol
rocking the boat and scaring the baron.
The general seconded him.' They suc
ceeded beyond their expectations. The
baron protested-that they would all be
drowned, but the Joker and the general
kept on. Finally, the terrified baron
stood up, but being very ta-y. his Cen
tre of gravity was' too high.
He fell out of the boat, amid cries
of alarm from those on shore, for the
baron had fallen into the fathomless
waters right in the middle of the "har
bor." However, to the great surprise
of the intendlng-investors on dry land,
as well as to his own, the baron picked
himself out of three feet of Water, and
waded ashore. The Jest was ah excel
lent one in the beginning, but, as it
practically - squelched "the harbor'
scheme, the Joke may be- considered
to-be on Ballona Instead of the baron.

times, were so awful, that I could procure
relief only by means of hypodermic Injec

in clay, in sulphur, in poultices ; but these
gave onlytemporary relief. Alter trying
everything, and suffering the most awful
tortures, I began to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
Inside of two months, was able to walk
without a cane. In three months, mv limbs
