Good Spring Tonic
"We have taken Hood's Sarsaparilla
for a spring tonic ard as a blood puri
fier. Last spring I was not well at all.
"When I went to bed I was tired and
nsrvous and could not sleep well, In
the morning I would feel twice as
tired; my mother got a bottle of
Hood's Sarsaparilla, which I took. I
felt like a new person when I had fin
ished that bottle. Wo nlways havo
some of Hood's medicines in the house."

THERE Is a romantic flavor
about the word badger that be
longs to no other of the names
of animals found In Britain. I
suppose It is because this is.
their only large carnivorous, genuine
ly wild animal; the fox, the only other
wild beast of any size, is In many,
perhaps 1 ought to say most, districts
so carefully preserved that It owes
Its existence to man, Instead of, like
the badger, existing In spite of man.
Then, too, "the brock" is hardly ever
seen alive and free, but comes and
goes mysteriously in the dead of night,
leaving but few traces behind It un
less somebody notices a large dog
like track tn the mud, or where a
wasps' nest has been dug out, for it
revels in the dainty meal of wasp
grubs. Many a time have I tracked
one from the scene of its night's
work through muddy gateways and
down damp woodland rides, noting
how the heavy creature had slipped
and slid, and the spots where it had
turned aside to scratch and root
among the moss and dead leaves, then
on to the streamslde the badgers al
ways ford the little brook I am speak
ing of at the same place and through
hedges and across fields, once more to
plunge into big woodlands, in the heart
of which is the great earth wherein
many generations have been bred. In
these particular holes the badgerB are
fairly safe. The tunnels are bored in
a layer of sand lying between strata
of clay and rock, and run in every di
rection for hundreds of feet. There
are only two visible entrances, which
are Inconspicuous holes, without even
a heap of soil to distinguish them
from surrounding rabbit burrows; for
being situated at the top of one of
the sides of a very steep and deep val
ley, or dingle, as they are locally
called, the soil all rolls down to the
stream below, where It Is washed
away. In fact, the sole intimations of
badgers are the pathways formed by
their always taking the same road in
their nightly wanderings, and which

Negro Minstrel's Good Story of Joke
on His Manager, Jean Havez, and
Himself.
President Taft, who admires all hu
norlsts and laugh producers, was con
gratulating Lew Dockstader, the ne
gro minstrel, on his genius and fame.
Then Lew told Mr. Taft a story. Jean
Havez was once Dockstader's press
agent and general manager. One eve
ning, as the two alighted from a
train in a middle-sized town in the
west, Dockstader reproached Havez
with this: "Jean, I'd like to know
what you have ever done for mo. Here
I am paying you a princely salary,
and you don't give me any returns for
It" "Why, Lew," objected Havez,
greatly grieved, "how can you say that,
after all I've done for you?" "All you
have done,' said Dockstader, "has been
to write a good song for me occasion
ally, or give me a little advertising in
the newspapers, or dig me up a more
or less bum Joke. That isn't enough."
"Why, Lew," Bald Havez, "I've made
tou the most famous man in the coun-
lead up to the two entrances. Some
two or three years ago, a fox, hard
pressed by hounds, took refuge in this
earth, and the master and whip, not
knowing the place, sent for spades
and terriers and commenced opera
tions to get him out.
To cut a long story short, they dug
till late at night, and finally hounds
were taken home; but orders had
been left with men of the district to
finish the job next day. These men
dug steadily for three days; they re
moved many tons of soil, but the
further they got into the cliff the more
tunnels there were. In some botes
they found neat beds of grass and
fern. It had to be given up, for the
work was Herculean; it would have
required weeks to reach the extremi
ties of the various holes. A short
time ago I visited the place, and ap
parently the badgers are still there,
for it shows all the signs of being
used.
In the part of Shropshire hunted by
the Wheatland hounds badgers are
really quite plentiful, though perhaps
not so much so as in bygone times;
that is to say, if the tales one hears
are to be trusted. Perhaps a better
Indication Is that, there are places
named Brock holes and similar names
where no badgers are found today.
Yellow or sable badgers with pink
eyes have occurred in this part, and
some years ago an old female thus
colored, together with her two babies,
came into my possession. The young
ones were the ordinary gray and
white, but charming little creatures,
utterly unlike their savage mother,
who sulkily resented captivity. As
soon as they were weaned they were
given bread and milk to eat; occasion
ally bits of dog biscuit and other
scraps were added. In the end we
parted with them, as the "higher au
thorities" thought they were not safe
pets. They may not have been; but I
tried their temper in every way, ta
king the two for walks dragged along
by a collar and chain, and carried
try; even more famous than the presi
dent. You can't go anywhere without
people knowing who you are the min
ute your name is mentioned. Every
body In this country knows Lew Dock
stader, and you owe your fame to me."
They went to the best hotel in the
tewn, and Dockstader registered In a
bold hand, "Lew Dockstader." The
clerk looked at him politely and in
quired: "Will you need a sample room,
Mr. Dockstader?"
Best-Known Fiction Character.
We wonder how many of our read

certain undeniable literary shortcom

the moBt widely known character In

years since the name of Sherlock
Holmes was first Introduced through
the medium of "The Study In Scar

Conan Doyle's books and who have

Another pet badger was half grown
.when I acquired it; the poor thing
had been caught in a trap, and its leg
was rather badly hurt. A keeper
brought it to me, knowing that I was
always willing to give a home to any
stray animal; so I took It, fed it well
1 have never had any animal that
could eat so much and did the best I
could for it. Grumbles, for bo it was
christened, had to pose before the
camera; but many hours were spent
and many plates wasted before I ob
tained any characteristic pictures, for
the badger took no Interest in the art
of photography. It was not like my
tame owl. Old Hooter, who, at the
sight of the camera, will fly to it and
dance a Jig on the bellows. In the
end the badger was released, I let It
go one evening In the woods. It trot
ted off In a deliberate way, and I
thought I should never see him again;
but about three months later some
neighbors complained of the mysteri
ous way their bulbs planted In the
turf were being scratched up and eat
en. It appeared they were planting
a large number of crocuses in their
garden, which was done by removing,
with a patent Instrument, a sod of
grass in shape like a cork, dropping
In a bulb and replacing the "stopper."
The next morning every cork had
been "drawn" and all the bulbs had
disappeared. A badger was eventual
ly blamed and the culprit located In
a dry drain. It was dug out, put in a
sack and sent ff to me. 1 gladly gave

One of the most mysterious and
alarming sounds I know Is the cry of
a badger heard In the stillness of the
night. I have only heard it once, and
then I am sure it was a mother and
cubs, for It instantly recalled the
cries of the two captive ones, whose
ordinary noises were of the grunting

confined their "conversation" mainly
to a sort of grumbling grunt, which
sometimes, when annoyed, they turned
into a loud snort of anger.
