Congress Shown That Swamps Can Be Made Productive. Delegations of Farmers and Business Men & From the South Have Visited Washington Asking Congress For Aid. Washington, D. C.—Congress is hearing much about the drainage of wet and overflowed swamp, lands, of which there are 76,000,000 acres in the United States. The south is taking the lead in this matter and is asking for a small appropriation with which to make surveys so that the work of reclaiming these rich lands can be carried on by private capital. Several delegations of representatives, farmers and business men from southern states have visited Washington during the past few weeks to urge the importance of legislation at this session for surveys on a comprehensive scale. They have talked with the president, the vice president, the speaker, the secretary of agriculture and prominent members of congress, and have received much encouragement. They are backed by a strong sentiment at home, which holds to the belief that if it is right for the government to guarantee the payment of irrigating lands in the west, it is equally right to pledge the credit. of the government for devising plans to drain the swamp lands of the south. They have received much encouragement from Speaker Cannon and other members of congress. JAPANESE SPIES CAUGHT. They Were Trying to Secure Plans of Manila Fortifications. Manila, P. I.—Two Japanese engaged in an effort to secure plans of the fortifications at Corregidor, Cavite, have been arrested by the military authorities, and are being held subject to instructions from the secretary of war, Jacob M. Dickinson. They approached a soldier of the engineer corps, and the latter, was caught taking photographs. He revealed the plan of the Japanese, and agreed to assist in their capture. He said that the Japanese had offered a large sum of money for photographs and plans of the fortifications. The Japanese consul here has taken no action in the matter, but the Japanese residents insist that their countryment were serving some European power. No federal or local statute covers the offense and it is probable that the Japanese will be released and ordered to leave the country. The soldier has been confined, and it is the intention to transfer him to the United States. RELEASED FROM QUARANTINE Tick Fever Suppressed in Portions of Seven States. Washington, D. C.-The secretary of agriculture has ordered, effective at once, the release from federal quarantine for Texas, or tick fever of cattle areas amounting to over 48,000 square miles. This action is taken as a result of the good progress made in the extermination of ticks. The territory released in the south includes: In Oklahoma, portions of Noble, Payne, Cleveland and Jackson. Privilege for movement on inspection is provided for portions of Lincoln, Cleveland, Caddo and Jackson, and revoked for a portion of Kain county. In Arkansas, Benton and Washington counties. In Mississippi, DeSoto, Tate and Tunica. In Tennessee, Bradley and James. In Georgia, White, Habersham and Stevens. In Virginia, Brunswick county. ERUPTIONS ON - SUN. Brilliant Auroral Displays Have Occurred in Chicago and Vicinity. Chicago, Ill. — Strange eruptions have appeared on the sun, according to a statement by Professor Edwin B. Trost, director of Yerkes' observatory at Williams Bay, Wis. "The eruptions, which shoot from the surface of the sun like skyrockets," said Professor Frost, "are easily visible at the edge of the disc. One of them shot out to a length of 150,000 miles, as near as we could estimate. It then detached itself from the main body and sped through space, a mass of luminous gas not dissimilar to a comet. Before it disappeared it had reached a distance from the sun of about 250,000 miles. The eruptions are probably caused by the release of pressure on some particular spot of the sun." GENERAL ROSSER DEAD. Gallant Confederate Officer Surrenders to Death. Charlottesville, Va.—General Thomas LaFayette Rosser, aged 73, died at his home. He was a member of the class at West Point when ordered into the field by Lincoln, but he resigned and entered the service of the Confederacy at Montgomery as first lieutenant. When the surrender came he refused to captulate and, cutting his way through the union lines, took the shattered remnants of his command to Lynchburg and there disbanded them. When war with Spain was declared he was a brigadier general of volun- SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, APRIL 2, 1910. THE PRICE OF IGNORANCE. Washington, D. C. That six hundred thousand lives are sacrificed annually on the altar of this country's ignorance and neglect of sanitary and health laws, was asserted by Senator Owen in the course of a speech in the senate in support of his bill creating a department of health with a cabinet officer at its head. Mr. Owen's address was based on the theory that the various health agencies of the government should be consolidated. He said that while President Tatt had not commit himself absolutely on the subject, he was confident he was in sympathy with the movement. He declared that with proper attention to the prevention of contagion and to the protection of the people against the use of polluted water and impure and adulterated food, human life could be greatly extended, and with all the safeguards applied the average might be increased to the extent of twenty-seven years within the century. In addition to the six hundred thousand cases of fatal illness annually, Mr. Owen asserted that an average of three million of people were constantly sick in this country with preventable diseases. A statement by Mr. Owen concerning the prevalence of the_hook worm in the south aroused much interest. He said he had been informed by an expert that 90 per cent of the children-of one-of the southern states were afflicted with the disease. "I don't care who the expert is," remarked Mr. Mooney of Mississippi, "I don't believe a word he says." Senator Johnson of Alabama also took extenuation to the statement. Mr. Owen having asserted that hook worm could be cured by two doses of thymol 'at a cost of, 25 cents, Senator Helburn suggested that there was $1,000,000 "now on tap" for the eradication of the hook worm. Mr. Gallinger thought since it had become known that there was so much money available for chasing the mysterious hook worm there would be a corresponding increase in the disease. In conclusion Mr. Owen spoke of the prevalence of malaria in Oklahoma. He declared that every school teacher should be armed with a pamphlet instructing against the ravages of polsonous flies and mosquitoes. Replying to the Oklahoma senator, Mr. Gallinger expressed the opinion that the government should go slow in establishing a department, of health. He thought the public health and marine hospital service and the health departments of the various states were doing reasonably well. As for the contention that the period of life could be materially lengthened, he regarded it "a dream, pure and simple." NEW KIND OF MEAT. Jungle Animals May Appear On Menus of United States. Washington, D. G.-The introduction of the hippopotamus, the rhinoceros, the camel, the eland, the springbok, the trekbok, the dikdik, the coood, the giraffe and other African animals into America as a solution of the problem of food supply was suggested by speakers before the house committee on agriculture. Captain Fritz Duquesne, a Boer; Dr. W. N. Erwin of the bureau of plant industry of the department of agriculture, and Major Burnham, who has spent years in Africa, and accompanied former President Roosevelt on part of his travels, argued in favor of the Broussard bill to import wild and domestic animals into the United States. Such animals, according to the bill, must prove useful, either as food or as beasts of burden. All of the witnesses declared that many of the animals in Africa easily could be raised in this country. DENOUNCES·FASHIONS. Lecturer Calls Society Woman Clothes Horse to Display Rich Man's Money. Columbia, Mo. — "The fashionable woman" was characterized as simply a "clothes horse for some rich man to show off his wealth," by Dr. H. J. Davenport, professor of economics, in a lecture before the Home Economies' Club of the University of Missouri. "Fashion puts incipient wings on woman's shoulders, humps on their hips and balloons about her feet. it creates artificial and unnecessary immodesties. It presides over the color of our baby blankets; it noses us around through life," he said. "Our pocketbooks are emptied by fashion in order that our wardrobes may be filled with exhibition garments, it makes half our garments unwearable when not yet outworn. It pursues us to the grave. If there is anything more vulgar than the wedding, it is the funeral." Naturalist Agassiz Dead Cambridge, Mass.—Alexander Agassiz, the eminent naturalist and president of the Calumet and Hecla Mining Company, died on the steamer Adriatic, Southampton for New York. The news came in a wireless message from Rodolphe Agassiz, his son, to an alj Henry L. Higginson of Lee Higginson & Co. Roddenbery Wars on Red Rot. Washington, D. C.—Representative Roddenbery is taking active steps to secure a favorable report on his bill to provide for an appropriation of $10,000 to enable the department of agriculture to investigate the cause of and remedies for the disease "red rot" and other diseases of sugar cane. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. JUSTICE BREWER DEAD DEATH CAUSED BY APOPLEXY Justice Brewer Was Stricken as He Was About to Retire, and Died Before Physicians Could Reach the House--73 Years Old. Washington, D. C. — David Josiah Brewer, associate justice of the supremo court of the United States, died, as the result of a stroke of apoplexy. His death followed within a minute or two, before he could be carried to his bed. Mrs. Brewer was with him when the end came. Justice Brewer was 73 years old. The end came altogether unexpectedly. Although he had not been feeling well for the past few days, the aged jurist was apparently in the best of health and spirits. Justice Brewer came to the supreme court of the United States from the federal court in Kansas. He was the second eldest member of the court, Justice Harlan only being his senior. He was regarded as the most democratic of all the members of the court, most affable, approachable and accommodating. He was the one man on the bench who had proof copies of his opinions prepared for the newspapers, and this he did consistently. Another characteristic of the dead jurist was that he never took any of the time of the court or the public in announcing his opinion. He would give only in a few words his conclusions and then hand down the proof sheets of his opinion, always completely arranged. Justice Brewer essentially was a western man, and his sympathies were always with the west. He dealt largely with railroad corporations and with corporations generally. Justice Brewer's death raises a serious question as to the action of the court regarding the Standard Oil and American Tobacco Company suits, and it is not improbable that the cases will have to be retried, since there now remains but seven justice to pass upon them, Justice Moody not having participated in the trials by reason of continued illness. David Josiah Brewer was born in Smyrna, Asia Minor, June 20, 1837, the son of Rev. Josiah and Amelia Field Brewer. He was graduated from Yale University in 1856 and the Albany Law School in 1858. He was appointed by President Arthur judge of the United States circuit for the eighth circuit in 1884 and served five years, and following this service resident Harrison appointed him as associate justice of the supreme court of the United States. POSTOFFICE ROBBERY. Yeggmen Make an $85,000 Haul at Richmond. Richmond, Va. — Combining the skill of experts with the simplest of methods, thieves robbed the vault in the office of the cashier at the Richmond postoffice of stamps estimated to be worth about $55,000, and incidentally carried off $160 in cash belonging to the payroll fund. For audacity the feat was almost without parallel, certainly in this part of the country. The robbers could hardly have chosen a more public place in which to operate. They were within less than 15 feet of one of the main thoroughfares of the city, which is at all hours of the nigat brightly lighted, while the room in which the robbery was accomplished was lighted. Large windows open on the street referred to, and no movement could well be made within the room without observation by passers-by. The safe, was drilled and no dynamite was used. One of the amazing things about the job is its magnitude. Box after box of stamps was removed from the vault. One man could not possibly have carried all away, nor could half a dozen men. The probabilities are that some sort of vehicle as used to bear off the booty. LEGISLATOR TOOK BRIBE. Percy Election Probe Causa Sensation in Mississippi. Jackson, Miss.-The sensational testimony given before the Hinds county grand jury by State Senator Theodore Bilbo, that he accepted a bribe of $645 from Hon. L. C. Dulaney of Issaquena county, to vote for Leroy Percy in the recent senatorial contest, is the sole topic of discussion in legislative circles here. Political lines are drawn tighter than at any time during the recent senatorial battle and personal differences are feared. RUSSIA EXPELLING JEWS. Number of Expulsions Greater Than Ever Before Recorded. New-York City. — The American Jewish committee announced here that it had received advises from trustworthy sources in Berlin stating that the expulsion of Jews from various cities in Russia has reached a magnitude never heretofore attained. Formerly those threatened with expulsion at the caprice of local goyermen were able to get protection through the ministry of the interior, whereas now, it is stated, the ministry itself is issuing the orders for expulsion. Hundreds of families, according to advices, that have lived for years in Russia are being killed. ADVICE TO FARMERS. Spring Agricultural Work For Southern Planters Outlined. Raleigh, N. C.-The Progressive Farmer and Gazette published here advises soutenafr farmers to do the following things this month. 1. See that the seed bed for all crops is not merely well broken but thoroughly pulverized by harrowing and disking. An ounce of preparation may be worth a pound of cultivation. 2. Get ready with weeders and harrows to kill the grass before it comes up. Don't be arraid of hurting the stand. This will not happen. 3. Place orders for all improved plows, harrows, weeders, cultivators, and other labor-saving tools and machinery. Get ready to make your crop with cheap horse labor instead of expensive hand labor. 4. Don't waste time and sweat on scrub seed or scrub stock this year. Improved varieties will pay as well with field crops as with garden crops. 5. Get ready to share with the western farmer his golden flood of profits in raising hogs and cattle. Firt of all get an improved breed, and then arrange to feed economically. With proper pasture crops both pork and beef can be made more cheaply in the south than in the west. 6. Of the over $50,000,000 spent in the south for fertilizers each year at least $10,000,000 is wasted through ignorance of crop needs and soil needs. Try to stop your part of this colossal loss. 7. Join in the great corn-raising revival now sweeping over the south. The biggest corn crops the world has known have been made in the south, and we are just waking up to the fact that Dixie can beat the corn belt itself raising this king of cereals. 8. Don't forget the garden, and don't make your wife do all the work in it. Remember, vegetables are cheaper than meat and more healthful. 9. We cannot have good fruit now without spraying. A good spray pump will often pay for itself the first year in the orchard and potato patch, 10. Dray the roads after every rain. The split-log drag is the cheapest good roads maker ever invented. 11. Paint the farm house and whitewash the outbuildings that you do not care to paint. It will pay you simply in your increased sense of pride and dignity. 12. Get your boy to join the Boys' Corn club movement with an acre of corn, and give your girl a flock of pure bred chickens. And be sure to let each one have the money he or she makes from this allotment. DANCE OF DEATH. Two Hundred and Fifty Persons Perish in Hungary. Budapest, Hungary—Two hundred and fifty men, women and children were killed when, during a country ball, fire destroyed a barn at Oekoerito. With their clothes afire, the dancers fought to escape from the structure. Scores were trampled as the exits became clogged with bodies. The disaster came at the height of the festivities. The floor was crowded when the flames were first seen. In a moment the hundreds of dancers were fighting in one tangled mass. The flames spread with great rapidity. Practically the entire village was in the barn and there was but a handful outside to help. There were no facilities for fighting the fire. When the exits were most crowded and scores were hemmed in on the burning floor, dashing madly about in vain efforts to extinguish their clothes, the roof fell. GOV. BROWN ANSWERED. Prof. Gannett Says Peary Has Established Claim Beyond Doubt. Washington, D. C.—The report from Atlanta, quoting Governor Joseph M. Brown of Georgia as having renewed his criticism of Commander Robert E. Peary and practically declaring him to be a faker, is being discussed in Washington. Professor Henry Gannett of the National Geographic Society, said: "The data submitted by Commander Peary was of so technical a character that it would be only intelligible to an expert on such matters. In connection with my associates on the committee, I have made the most careful consideration of the proofs submitted by Mr. Peary, who has, to my mind, established his claim beyond a question of doubt." Tariff Agreement Adopted. Paris, France—The bill approving the Franco-American tariff agreement was adopted unanimously by the chamber of deputies. Newsy Paragraphs Pittsburg had the rumor, on undoubted authority, that plans were afoot for the combination of the Westinghouse and Edison electric manufacturing companies into a $150,000,000 trust, which would have a complete monopoly. Private advices from Blairitz contradict the reassuring reports concerning King Edward's health. They say that when the king appeared in public recently he appeared haggard and tattering. Professor Elie Methinkoff of the Paris Pasteur institute announced be fore the Academy of Sciences that he had succeeded in overcoming the principal obstacle to the preparation of an effective anti-typhoid vaccine. This disease he said has been incommunicable to the lower animals and Professor Methinkoff has now succeeded in infecting monkeys with the typhoid germ. By this means he has been able to obtain exact symptoms permitting accurate experiments on the action of this vaccine. WILL AID PROHIBITION In Response To Loud Complaints From Various "Dry" Districts, President Tait Directed That "Bootleggers" Be Arrested. Washington, D. C.-War on "blind tigers" and on "bootleggers" has been declared by, the administration, Hereafter persons engaged in these forms of the liquor tariff are to be dealt with much, more drastically than heretofore. This stand of the government has particular reference to violations of the internal revenue laws in "dry" counties, where local enactments prohibit dealing in liquor. Loud complaints had come to President Tait from various "dry" districts, notably in the south and west, that the prohibition laws were negatived through the operations' of the "blind tigers" and the "bootleggers", and in response to demands for remedial measures, he directed that steps be taken to stop the practices New regulations were drawn under the supervision of Mr. Cabell, the commissioner of internal revenue, and approved by Secretary MacYeagh. They set out that as the peddling of liquor is not contemplated by the internal revenue laws, and no provision is made for the issuance of any stamp legalizing such practice, peddlers of liquors or "bootleggers" are not to be regarded as coming within the class of unintentional violators, and should be arrested and reported for prosecution whenever found selling liquor in such manner. As a supplemental measure of assistance to the state in the enforcement of their prohibition laws, a method has been provided by which they may obtain information gathered by the federal government of internal revenue law violations. GOVERNMENT COOK BOOK High Cost Facts Induce Government to Issue Book. Washington, D. C.—Discussion of the increasing cost of living has brought to light quite generally that the cheaper cuts of meats are more difficult to prepare for the table than the more expensive portions of the carcass, due to a lack of knowledge of how they may be made appetizing and palatable. With a view to providing the housekeepers of the country with practical suggestions along this line, the United States Department of Agriculture has prepared a manual of economy in meat cooking that contains much valuable information which will be issued free. It is known as "Economic Use of Meats in the Home," and may be had by addressing a request to the secretary of agriculture, Washington, D. C. The contents cover a variety of subjects, including fifty recipes of savory dishes, and much general information, such as; General methods of preparing meats. Utilizing cheaper cuts of meats in palatable dishes. $ ^{a} $ A simple but practical method of clarifying fats. Methods of extending the flavor of meats. The recipes have been selected from a wide range collected from approved sources, and are all simple formulas calling for such items of food as are generally found in every household and requiring no technical knowledge to compound. $ ^{b} $ FARM EXPORTS ADVANCE. Foodstuffs Have Advanced Abroad as Well as at Home. Washington, D. C.—Exported farm products of the United States are steadily rising in value, while in many cases the exports of manufactures show a decline in the same comparative period. Foreign countries were willing to pay higher prices in every instance for farm products during February this year than they were in February a year ago. The export price table issued by the bureau of statistics of the department of commerce and labor shows a long line of increases ranging from 30 per cent upward. prices given there are exclusive of freights, and represent merely the prices at the time of exportation. Taken in comparison with those figures which are quoted in explanation of the higher cost of living, this newest table makes it apparent that exported foodstuffs have advanced abroad as well as at home. Salts and fresh beef exports alone show slight decreases in price for February, as compared with the same period a year ago. WHEREABOUTS OF COOK Explorer is Reported to Be in New Jersey: New York City—Dr Frederick A. Cook, the explorer, who has been reported about everywhere of late or "en route to New York," is, according to the latest rumor, at the home of his wife's sister, Mrs. Henry Harvey, at Pensauken, Camden county, New Jersey. Friends of the doctor declined to commit themselves as to his whereabouts, but Captain B. S. Osbon, a staunch supporter, went so far as to say the explorer would be in New York within a few days. Mrs. Cook, said Osbon, would first to select apartments. LATE NEWS NOTES. Another radical move on the part of the suffrage advocates which is receiving much attention in the eastern part of the country is an organization of college women at Wollesley, Smith, Vassar, Bryn Mawr, Radcliffe and other colleges for women, the members of which promise not to get married until she shall have won over to the cause at least 500-men. Rev. J. Wesley Hill of New York, who has been waging a pulpit warfare against socialism has been authorized by his congregation to call a national antisocialistic convention, for the purpose of inaugurating a nation-wide campaign against socialistic doctrines, through the churches. Dr. Hill will take personal charge of the campaign. William Ochsher in Maysville, Ky., while feeding cattle at a distillery, was surprised to find a fine gold watch in the center of a bale of hay, which he had broken open. The word "Willie" was engraved on the side of the time piece. Where the watch came from no one knows. The hay was part of a shipment sent from Cincinnati. Walter Dennis of Jackson county, Tennessee, a dead man, was pardoned by Governor Patterson. The object of the pardon was to relieve the family of the deceased of the necessity of baying a $50 fine watch he had been sentenced to pay in July, 1905, for carrying a pistol. It was recommended by both the trinaljudge and the attorney general. It is reported in Battle Creek, Mich., that Montgomery L. Weed of Vicksburg, Miss., before leaving for California, stated that he would be counsel and director with John D. Rockefeller, Jr., in the work of the recently announced Rockefeller founda for philanthropic activities. Newman Erb and associates of New York, have acquired the Chattanooga Southern railroad, a line now extending from Chattanooga to Gadsden, Ala. It is now in the hands of receivers. The favorite speculation is that the Louisville and Nashville will ultimately reveal an interest in the transaction, and the long-prophesied line from Chattanooga to Birmingham in competition with interests of the Southern system will materialize. A marriage in which the bride was twelve years of age and the groom twenty-seven, occurred recently at Dalton, Ga., the ceremony being performed by Rev. Mr. Pitts, at the home of the bride. Miss May Cody. The groom is Mr. Tom England. He is a clerk in a store. The wedding was a quiet affair. There was no objection raised by the bride's immediate family. Washington. The penury of the weather bureau has been relieved to some extent and the distribution by telegraph of the 8 p. m. observations which were recently discontinued on its various circuits throughout the country was resumed March 24. The circulation of this data referring to the temperature, rainfall, wind velocity and other services was abolished temporarily by the bureau because of the lack of funds with which to prosecute its usual work for the rest of the fiscal year. The action brought forth protests from many sections of the country. Action taken in the house disclosed the fact that the secretary of commerce and labor has no information relating to the records of Commander Peary bearing upon his discovery of the north pole. Several days ago Mr. Hughes of New Jersey offered a resolution calling upon the secretary for reports of tidal observations made by Mr. Peary on the coast of Alaska. Mr. Hughes suggested that these reports might develop some information bearing on the discovery of the pole. In asking that the resolution be laid on the table, Mr. Mann said the records referred to had been sent to the committee on interstate and foreign commerce. They did not contain data bearing on the discovery. Lieutenant Goethals as president of the Panama railroad, has informed Samuel Lewis, secretary of foreign relations, that he has received instructions from Secretary of War Dickinson, to arrange with the Panama government for the survey of the railroad from Panama to David, near the Costa Rican frontier, which has been projected for some time. This will be the Panama trunk of the proposed American railroad through Central America. President Taft has permitted to expire immediately the sentence of one year and one day's confinement in the Atlanta pentenitary imposed on George W. England of Huntsville, Ala., for violation of the liquor laws. When sentenced the prisoner was given the option of a term of six months in the local jail at Huntsville, but preferred the sentence to Atlanta for the longer term because of the filtay condition said, to exist at the former institution. England's term would have expired April 3. Past Assistant Surgeon C. H. Lairinger of the public health and marine hospital service was designated to go to Milan and other places in Italy for the purpose of making an investigation into the origin and prevalence of pellegra and into the measures being taken to combat the disease. Surgeon Lavinder also will inspect establishments in Germany which manufacture viruses and analogous products for sale in America. If the house adopts the recommendation of its military committee the confederate cemetery at Springfield-Mo. will be taken over by the United States government and will be established. This is expected to cement closer than ever the north and south. The bill has the approval of Secretary of War Dickinson.

R. E. Pardisi MANY NEW RAILROADS Unprecedented Railroad Construction Throughout Georgia. With Fifteen Railroads Proposed, the State Promises to Be Honeycombed With New Lines. Macon, Ga—Fifteen new railroads now under consideration in Georgia against a marked decline in railroad construction for the whole country, is shown in government reports. Railroad promoters, encouraged by the wave of universal prosperity which has swept the state from end to end during the past twelve months, are busy securing charters for new lines, and from present indications many Georgia towns which have heretofore had no railroad connections, will, within a few months, be put in direct touch with the rest of the world, while other towns will assume the aspect of railroad centers. Here are the names of the proposed new lines and the routes which they are proposed to follow: Georgia Southwestern and Gulf, from Albany to some part on the Gulf of Mexico. Savannah, Augusta and Northern from Statesboro to Athens. Waycross and _____, from Waycross to Albany or Americus. Jacksonville and Atlanta, from Jacksonville to Perry. Albany, Ashburn and Atlantic, from Broxton to Albany or Americus. Valdosta, Moultrie and Western, from Valdosta to Moultrie. Waycross and Florida Central, from Waycross to Lake City, Fla. Ocilla Southern, from Ocilla to Rochelle and northward. Wrightsville Adrian and from Wrightsville to Vidalia or Lyons. Middle Georgia Interurban, from Jackson to Social Circle. Jackson to Social Center Augusta and Athens, from Augusta to Athens. Rome and Northern, from Rome to Dalton. Toccoa and Carnesville, from Toccoa to Carnesville. North Windsor and Carnesville, from Washington and Carnesville, from Washington to Carneville. Sandersville and Tennille, from Tennille to White Plains. Traversing practically every portion of the state, these new lines will mean a new era in railroad development in Georgia. With their bank accounts swelled from the golden influx which followed the record-breaking crops of last year, farmers, merchants and professional men all over the state, and in south Georgia especially, have welcomed the opportunities presented to invest their new wealth, and at the same time lend to the material development of their various sections. The gentle cynic is generally a fierce proposition. SOL. C. JOHNSON, Supt. of Ageno Treasurer of the State of Georgia. GEORGIA FARMERS BUSY. Corn, Oat and Wheat Crops Largest in History. Americus, Ga. Not an acre more will be planted this year in Sumter than last year, the farmers say. There is no additional labor for a greater acreage, and besides the high prices of mules, meat and grain precludes any possibility of a larger acreage. Swainsboro, Ga.—The farmers in this county are entering upon this year's work with considerably more enthusiasm than in former years, owing perhaps to the high price of cotton and the favorable spring for work. Reports from different sections of the county confirm the belief that more cotton will be planted in this county than ever before, and that the yield of corn will be nearly double that of any preceding year, the slogan of the farmers being "corn for home consumption." Dawson, Ga.—Corn planting was finished over two weeks ago in this county and cotton planting is now the order of the day with Terrell county's progressive farmers, who are well up with their work at this time. It is understood that there has been some increase in the acreage planted in corn this year. GEORGIA BANKS PROSPEROUS. Only Four Counties in the State Are Without Banks. Atlanta, Ga.—With the rapid increase in state banks which has characterized the past year, the indications are that every county in the state will soon have a bank of it own. At present there are only four counties in the state which have no banks of any character. They are Camden, Dade, Dawson and Echols. The annual report of the state treasurer will show that there are now more than 500 state banks in the state, while the report for the last year showed there were 457. According to figures compiled by Ben F. Perry, assistant state treasurer, the banks of the state are in a most prosperous condition and there are scant signs of the panic of two years ago. Reports received from 388 banks show a net profit for 1909 or $2,335,521.43, or 10 2-3 per cent net profit on a total capitalization of $15,347,058.08 and a surplus of $6,508,121.27. The increase in loans for the year amounted to $20,500,038.80 and the increase in deposits was $18,067,975.55. Free Cotton Seed Gone. Atlanta, Ga.—The state board of entomology has exhausted its supply of cotton seed of the variety which is used as a resistant to the black roo disease. Parties who desire seed next year may send in their names, which will be placed on the list. Arrangements have been made by the board with different parties to grow this seed in large quantities this season and the board hopes that next winter seed can be sent out to all who apply for same. P. EDWARD PERRY, Vice President. GEORGIA NEWS NOTES. Arrangements have been perfected, it is announced, for the removal from Pennsylvania to Ware county of thirty-five families of truck farmers. The celery business is being tried by several this year, and there is but little, if any, doubt of its adaptability to this section. Those visitors claim this is an ideal soil not only for celery, but for all lines of vegetables and fruits. P. A. Methvin, state pure food inspector, has returned to Atlanta from a trip through various sections of Georgia and announces that as a result of his investigations he has condemned ten thousand bushels of defective corn, two thousand bushels of meal and five car loads of hay, the greater part of which has been shipped in from other states. A most illuminating article on the control of the brown rot in peaches and the plum curculio, or worm-in-the-peach, has just been issued by the department of agriculture as circular one hundred and thirty, of the bureau of entomology. The article was prepared by W. M. Scott, of the bureau of plant industry, and A. L. Quintance of the bureau of entomology. Experiments conducted at the Hale orchards in Fort Falley, in which a spray of arsenate of lead and self-boiled lime sulphur mixture was tried, resulted in a crop practically free of brown rot and peach tree scab; and about three-fourths of the crop escaped the ravages of the curculio. The yield from the sprayed trees was twice as large as from the trees not sprayed. The article gives full details as to how to prepare the lime and sulphur spray. War on the cattle tick which is costing the cattle raisers and dairy men of Georgia thousands of dollars a year, is being undertaken with a vengeance in several sections of Georgia. It is under the direct supervision of the federal government, working in co-operation with the state authorities and county officials. Captain R. F. Wright, assistant commissioner of agriculture, has gone into north Georgia to look after the inauguration of this campaign, in person, in the counties of Hart, Putnam and Greene, where the officials will concentrate their efforts to eradicate the tick. There are to be three cattle tick inspectors in each county. One from the federal government, one named by the state authorities and one named by the county officials who are to bring this work to a focus. With the eradication of the cattle tick and the increased consumption of cotton seed meal by Georgia cattle and dairy herds, the Georgia farmer promises soon to be independent of all packers Something is going to drop and that right early, in the neighborhood of the neer-beer dealers who have failed to observe the law and pay the tax which is required of them. With a view of ascertaining the course which the state of Georgia should pursue in forcing the collection of the near-beer tax when dealers decline to pay it, Governor Brown is having the near-beer tax law investigated. Frequent reports have come to the governor, recently that many of the dealers, especially in the larger cities, are falling to pay the tax. HOME OFFICE WEST BROAD STREET, 1 SAVANNAH, GEORGIA.

Another purchase of farming land near Americus was completed by South Carolina investors in the Hawkins plantation at $30,000. Recently the same parties purchased the Burk halter plantation here for $36,000, and will make other similar investments immediately. Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars has thus been invested near Americus recently by South Carolina planters delighted with this section. The work of renovating and recarpeting the halls of the legislature on the ante-rooms adjoining each, has been started and they will be put in splendid condition for the meeting of the lawmakers in June. Representatives Livingston and Adamson propose in a bill introduced in congress to put the prisoners now confined in the United States penitentiary at Atlanta and the military prisoners at Fort McPherson to work constructing a highwaw between Fort McPherson and the military rifle range near Waco, Ga. A fifty thousand decrease in the registration of the state for thiyear's elections, instead of the big increase justified by the unprecedented large number of immigrants coming to the state during the past two years. That is the only reduction to be derived from reports received from tax collectors in every part of the state. Unaccustomed to the necessity of registering for an election or primary six months before it takes place, the new early registration law is going to have the effect of depriving from fifty to seventy-five thousand of the state's white voters of the privilege of participating in this year's elections, unless the apparent apathy of the voters changes before April 5. Brought fact to face with the discrepancy between the figures for 1908 and 1909 and those so far for 1910 the tax collectors of the various counties have thrown aside their other duties and are concentrating their efforts to the swelling of their registration lists. The state commissioner of agriculture is preparing to renew the work of "Tick Eradication" in Greene county. The work which was done in this county last fall was along educational and preliminary lines. Notices have been posted on the county lines and it is unlawful to bring cattle into this county from adjoining counties except from Putnam. Putnam is carrying on the same line of work that this county is, therefore she is exempt from keeping her cattle within her borders. H. C. Tuggle, state inspector of convict camps, has returned to Atlanta from an extensive tour of inspection in south Georgia and was especially enthusiastic in his commendation of Jenkins county. "With thirty convicts, Jenkins county is doing great things in road building," said Inspector Tuggle. "It is one of the most progressive and prosperous counties in the state, and under the direction of Captain Joe Applewhite, chairman of the board of county commissioners, and Warden Taylor, who has charge of the convicts, it will soon have some of the finest roadways in the state." niums.

Mabel Herbert Urner, whose "Journal of a Neglected Wife" gained the distinction of being the most widely quoted book of the past year, has written another and even more emotional and soul-searching novel, which appears complete in the April Smart Set under the title "The Price Inevitable." The April Smart Set contains several short stories that are worthy of especial notice. "The Philandering of Penruddocke," by G. C. Harvey, is a tale of English army and social life, full of breezy description and smart, peppery dialogue. There is a very attractive picture drawn of an English house-party and of a horse race. "The Perfection of a Scoundrel," by Frederic Irving, is a man's story of danger, disaster and daring. "I Too, in Arcadia," by Marie Conway Oemler, is a page of an artist's life, full of that rare, delicate charm that attaches to the real "Bohemia." If all the richly clad were rich of heart, how rich this world would be. Fine thoughts are in many men's minds, but few men care to crystallize them into fine actions. Women are better than men, because they do not have women to tempt them. Following his interview of several days ago to the effect that Commander Robert E. Peary, alleged discoverer of the north pole, is a takir, Governor Joseph M. Brown is receiving numerous letters of commendation from persons in all sections of the country, who hold similar views. One man in Massachusetts, evidently a firm believer in Dr. Cook's claims of finding the pole, was so enthusiastic over the governor's expression concerning Commander Peary, that, in addition to commending the chief executive for his position in the matter, expressed the ardent hope that some day he will have the privilege of voting for Governor Brown for president. People's Ideal Fiction. The April number of People's Idea Fiction Magazine contains, in two hundred and twenty-four pages of solid fiction, two complete novels, eleven short stories, and large instalments of four serials. "The Crime Capsule," a mysterious and deadly power, lives up to its name in Frank Lille Pollock's thrilling complete novel, which stands at the head of the contents. The big-league teams are getting into shap down south, and the air is full of baseball talk. People's Idea Fiction Magazine for April contain the first complete story of a unique series of "inside" baseball stories, which will run throughout the season "His Big-League Debut," is a striking story of the making of a star pitcher out of a raw bush leaguer by a manager who knows the game. Manifesteed the Makings Alderman Smith's baby was being christened, and everybody present was complimenting the happy parents. "I believe," said the proud mother, "that he is going to be a great politician some day." "Why? asked the ruddy-faced father. "Well because he crawls out everything so easily," said the wife, smiling up into her husband's face—Lippincott's. Without sincerity there can be no nobility of character. --- BOL. C. JOHNSON.

Last summer we spent our vaca- tion on Long Island at a place not very far from Long, Beach. I sup pose you yead in the papers about the schooner Arlington which was wreck: ed off the coast of Long Island oppo- site this beach. One day a party of us decided to make an excursion to visit this wreck, We reached there about noon and after having lunch took a walk to see this large schooner. It looked very cold-and desolate standing out.in the water with the huge waves washing over it. The entire middle was covered with wa- ter, and only the front and back were visible. In a stall store on the beach several things which had been on beard the Arlington were displayed in the windows. There were books, chains, shoes and other things, also the hymnbook opened to a page ou which was written the hymn “Rescue the Perishing.” The sailors had sung ‘bis song in the last stages of des- pair. Helen 31. Henderson, in the New York Tribune. Bn Oda Viator. A friend of mine who lives in an apartment house half 2 block from -Mount Morris Park found when she returned from her’ summer in the country that she had a new visitor in ‘the neighbornood. The first day after she. came back ehe left a few chest- nuts on the kitchen windowsill. Going into the Kitchen a little later, she saw a squirrel comfortably eating his ‘breakfast of chestnuts. The little animal didn’t seem to be the least bit disturbed at her appearance and continued to nibble. She watched him until he scampered away down the fire escape, into the yard, up the fence and along its top until he disappeared in the direction of the park. The next day the squirrel appeared again, and was disappointed when he found no nuts waiting for him. He entered the iiteen, sniffed around a little, and then scampered out again. Since then my friend bas placed nuts on the win- dowsill, and the squirrel has visited the apartment every morning.—Alma ‘M. Lane in the New York Tribune, A Hunter in Trouble, One day last autumn when I was at a,frfend’s house and we had noth- ing to do he suggested that we go hunting, to which I readily assented. ‘The guns were an oll donbledarrell- ed shotgun and an old rife that had heen used in the Civil War. Both of them were-muzzleloaders. The mea- dows where we were going were quite a distance from where we lived, so we did not get there till about 4 o'clock. ‘When we came to the factory pond my friend suggested that we had bet- ter load up, which we did. After waiting for about five minutes we saw a small flock of birds coming toward us. My friend raised his gun and fired, and sat down so quickly and so euddenly that his gun flewsout of his hands to the ground. When I look- ed around he was sitting up rubbing his head, and when I saw him in that condition I laughed until my sides ached. ‘The trouble was, he had put in too big a charge and had been mocked oer.

T’other day—a scorcher—I was meandering down Tenth street a bit after noon, when a little voice piped up from the half-shade of a doorway, “Mister, won't you buy a glass of Jemonade?” I stopped. The lemonade looked fine; I was dry as a covered bridge,and the Ittle volce was very pleating. So I drank a class and paid the advertised price—2 cents, ‘Half a block further on anothor lit- tle voice piped up, “Mister, won't you please buy a glass of lemonade of me, too” “My dear child,” I asked reproach- fully: of the very little girl beside the lemonade bucket, “do you imagine I have nothing else to do but wander aimlessly around the street lapping ‘up lemonade like a dusty antelope or $3 worth of Florida sponge? My in- terior mechanism is already sufficlent- ly actduous and chilled, and—but, ‘never mind, give mo a glass.” And I poured another mezsure of the com- pound into my system and Iald down another 3 cents. 2 The ittle vender looked at it long- ingly for a moment, then picked up one of the pennies and pushed the other two back toward me. “It's only 1 cent a glass,” sald she, “Why, how is that?? T queried, curt- ously. “The little girl up the street is selling hers for 3 cents a glass and it isn’t a bit better than yours “I know, sir,” replied the little girl —a conscientious Kidlet,. as you'll : ze —“but the St, Bernard puppy had a fit, and fell in ours and we, thought wé ought to sell it at a bargain.” And I thought so, too—efter I had decided that the lemonade might stay put, after all—Washington Star. A Happy Rescue. Norman, Billy, and Lloyd were play. ing “express.” Norman sat on the high seat of his big cart, and Lloyd and Billy were his horses. a “Get up! get up!” he cried, flour. ishing his whip. Only one of the horses obeyed. Loyd was watching something across the street, Prince, Norman's new puppy, had run cut of the yard, and was jumping upon two Uttle girls who were great- ly frightened. The older girl started to run, but the Iittle one fell and be- gaa to cry. “Prince! Prince!" called Lloyd, “come here!” “Ob, let Prince alone!” cried Nor- man, “He won't hurt them. They're sillfes to be afraid.” = But Lioyd was already.trying to slip the harness over his head, that he might go to the rescue of the ch'Zdren. Norman held the telus tight, how- ever, and played his whip about Lloyd's shoulders. " “Oh, don’t!” pleaded Lloyd. “They're scared almost to death!” He called to the girls: “Don't be afraid! He ‘won't burt you!” Thea he freed him- self, and ran across. ‘The younger child was screaming, while the other was trying to put her- self between the dog and her Uttle sister. Lloyd soon coaxed Prince away, ‘meantime striving to quiet the chil- dren's fears. “He {s only a puppy, and he wants to play, that’s all. He won't bite any- body. He just loves little bits of girls—like your sister. He Is only two months old.” “Is he your dog?” asked the older girl, “Oh, no! But we are friends, aren't we, Prince? He belongs to Norman Stockder. I live across the street—ia that house,” pointing to a red cot- tage. “Thank you ever so much,” smiled tho girl. “He ran after us yesterday, and we were so scared; but'l sha'n't be afrala again.” Lloyd returned to play, with Prince capering around him, and the girls walked off down the street, stopping occasionally to look back. “If you tun away again, I won't let you be my horse,” sald Norman, crossly. . “All right,” laughed Lloyd, slipping into the harness. He knew that his friend's anger wouldn't last Jong, and Norman was never quite so cross as he seemed. ‘A few days afterward the boys were going home from school togetn- er when a big automobile whizzed past them, “WouldnSt you lke to ride that way?" cried Norman, “Guess"l would!,’ answered Billy. Lloyd aaid nothing. He was watch- mg the car. It was turning around on The brow of the hill just beyond— now it was coming slowly back. As it drew near, he recognized two of its cccupants;—the two little girls that had been so frightened by Prince. The car stopped by the sidewalk. “Will you come for a ride?” asked the older girl, nodding shyly to Lloyd. ‘Would he! It dida’t take him long to run home and ask mamma, and then hop in. The car started. He seemed to be fying through the airt How delightfol it yas! _ “Papa's going to take us up to Hart- ford, to bring mamma home—she’s up there visiting,” explained the. girl “and we thought maybe you'd Ilke to 50, too.” | ‘To Hartford! As far as that? “Why, can we get home tonight?” gasped Lioyd. : s'Oh, yes!” laughed the girl, “It won't take more than an hour or two.” Then Lioyd settled down to solld enjoyment; and what a two hours the next were! Up in Hartford he was tredted to sandwiches and ice-cream besides nuts and bananas; end Papa and Mamma Starr thanked him very pleasantly for having been so kind to their little girls. “rd have called Prince off if Td known they were Major Starr’s chil- dren,” said Norman, when Lioyd told him about the ride. “[ diin't know,” answered Lloyd, nnocently.—Emma C, Dowd, in the Sunday School Times.

If this latest attempt to stop it had not been successful, the subterranean fire would have spread into the Lansford Valley dtid “endan- -Bered 400,000,000 tous of coal, aboilt ~$2;000,000,000 worth. It was on Feb. 15, 1859, two years be- fore the clyil war began, vaat the blaze wag discovered in some abandoned workings in the Mammoth Vein, near the east end of the Summit Hill basin. This basin may be compared to the thumb of a man’s hand. The fire started near the end of the “thumb,” which fs 600 feet wide at Its narrowest and 1500 feet wide at its broadest Point, and worked its way toward the main part of the “hand.” If tt once got there the chance of conquering it would be small. Half 2 century ago’ people had not begun to think much about the pos- sible exhaustion of the anthracite supply, and the veins were not mined as thoroughly as now, so that the fire found quantitles of left-over coal to feed upon. Cavo-ins and fissures in the rock overlying the Mammoth Veln at this place Jet in plentiful supplies of alr, and there was no chance of stop- ping thé destruction by cutting off the air supply. As the years passed the fire gained a stronger and stronger hold the ne- cessity for checking it became every day more apparent/ The consumption of anthracite grew by leaps and bounds, and the fact that there was a limit to the hart coal deposits came to be appreciated. The increased cost of mining by deep shafts made it es- sential that every:ton of fuel near the surface should be saved. Early Attempts to Conquer the Fire. Almost ‘from the time It was discov- ered attempt were made to put out the fire. In the sixties there was a plan to dig a great open cut, with sloping sides, across its path, the theory being that when the fire reached this break im the coal {t could go no further. The project was found to be so expensive however, that it could not be carried out. Many years later the attempt was made to fill a broad area with culm, washed down through holes bored from the surface, and thus block the course of the fire. This, too, proved a failure; the fire went straight on past the barrier. - After much study W. A. Lathrop, President of the Leigh Coal and Navi- gation Company, which owns the prop- erty, decided that the only way to stop the fire and prevent the destruc- tion of millions of tons of coal was to build a clay barrier’ across the basin, extending down to water level. The barrier would have to be approximate- ly $00 feet long. On the north of the basin, where the coal comes to the surface, an open cut was dug. From there southward, the vel sloping downward, a series of shafts were sunk, the last in line to the south being 220 feet deep. Later'it was found that not only would the barrier have to cover the face of the vein, but that the space between the first four shafts would have to be filled in with clay. This makes the barrier exttnd from the bottom of the vein to the surface of the ground for 2 con- siderable part of its length. At the southern end it was not necessary to take out the overlying rock between the shafts, but simply the coal. This was done by a tonne! following the veln and extending 500 feet on a slope to water level. Two concrete walls sixty feet in helght are being built to form the™slde' of “the tunnel. ‘There are “windows” at short intervals, so that the wet clay, beside filing the spe inside, mat seep through on both sides and act as rein- forcement to the walls, Workmen's Dangerous Task. Difficulties of a kind never before encountered In engineering work met che company In {ts effort to carry through the plan, The fire was close upon the workmen, and as a measure of protection a series of “slushing holes” had to be drilled near the line of shafts. Notwithstanding this pre- caution, the smoke and fumes came through to where the men were work- ing, and the rocks on the sides of the shafts grew hot. This: complicated a task that’was already hard enough. Tho utmost care was necessary in lasting. ‘Blaborate ventilating apparatus had and had, to, be; thrown “Intg ‘‘them, ‘While the work grent)on,.,ta Keep back the heat and smoke. ae Concrete ‘Replaces, ‘Timber...

Thus the Pressure on the walls was equalized. Fifty thousand cuble yards of clay were needed to make the barrier and 2000 cubic. yards! of concrete. Ten miles of timbers were used in the shafts and the open cut, all brought from North Carolina. In a single one of the holes bored as a protection to the work 24,000 tons of silt were poured, It Is estimated that the cost of stopping the fire—this des not in~ clude the unsuccessful attempts of the past—was $250,000.—New York Times. A MERCHANT OF FEZ. nominious Fall. The merchants of Fez are to be found all over Morocco. In duo course Ali Mahmoud launches out into busi- ness on a large acale. He prospers exceedingly, and presently purchases a black female slave to assist his wife in her duties. All Mahmoud takes a bouse in the Medina quarter of Fez, overlooking the pleasant olive groves. In course of thne he buys two more slaves and is fairly set up as a house- holder. When his first daughter 1s born there is great rejoicing, The baby is immediately stalnea all over its lit- tle body with henna and then smeared Uberally with butter and wrapped in woolen cloths. On the seventh day these are removed and the child is washed for the first time. When the girl has reached her first year, her head is shaved, leaving a little tuft by which Mohammed ‘could catch her up to heaven if he were so disposed. In her seventh year her hair has grown again. She #s then veiled and her proud father sets about looking for a husband for her. It is still the custom to betroth children from in- fancy. 7 . All Mahmoud prospers and, save for a few domestic troubles, bis life runs emoothly. Perhaps he ‘has lost two of his female slaves or rather. one has been beaten by his jealous wife and run to sanctuary. From the mosque she claims to be resold, and he has to obey the law for slaves. The oth- or regains her freedom by bearing a child. These negress slaves enjoy a much better time than thelr Moorish mis- tresses. They are not bound by iron laws and customs. They may go un- yelled in the streets, and, if ill treated, they have their femedy. In the eve- nings, Ali will sit and smoke in the bosom of his family. On Thursdays and Saturdays he visits his friends. ‘They -pass the time in simple games of cards or in listening to the weird efforts of itinerant musicians. Some- times, with a few others, he will wend his way to the walls of the city. Here the party will sit watching the cunset and regretting the days when Chris- tian slaves were as plentiful as sheep in Morocco. Our merchant gets stout as he approaches middle age. One day his world tumbles about him, Such js the uncertainty of fate in ‘Morocco. He was serving in his shop when the customer suddenly raised his voice and erfed out that he was get- ting false welght. ‘The. accusation was terrible and All yeliemently pro- tested his innocence. It was an ar- ranged charge by dn enemy of the merchant, who philosophically bowed his head with the saying: ‘Kismet!

A. néw form of mercury interrupter, has recently been invented in which there are no reciprocating parts, but the interruptions are produced by a ripple formed in a stream of mer- cury. The mercury is contained In a revolving vessel within which a con- tact plece Js fixed. The mercury ts thrown by centrifugal force to the in- ner periphery of the vessel. At one point the stream of mercury ts obliged to pass over a deflector, producing a ripple or wave, and the contact plece dips into the mercury stream at this point as It revolyes with the vessel. The frequency of the interruptions may be varied by making the deflec- tor revolve slowly in the same direc- tion as tho vessel is revolving, or in the opposite direction, or letting {t remain stationary. ASPHALT LUMBER. Boards Made of Felt and Asphalt Said to be Waterproof and Fireproof. The term “lumber” formerly was ap- | plied only to wood, but it has now been combined with the word asphalt to form a term so new as to be capable of copyright. It means a boardlike product which, while composed of layers of a special long fibre felt saturated with a compo- sition of ssphalt, says Cassler’s Maga- zine, can be cut, worked, joined and nailed like wood. This material, orig- inally designed for roofing, and ab- solutely water and weather proof, is manufactured in a stock size, 36 inch- es wide and 6, 8, 10 or 12 feet long. The boards are made with a 1 inch rabbet, running the full length on eith- er side, enabling the material to me matcked up readily and quickly, while @ special asphaltic cement applied along the rabbeted joint makes the foints practically a part of the solid board. % Such a material ‘has many wider ap- plications than those merely of roofing construction, and it is available in all building operations demanding a wat- erproof structure, capable of resisting Heat or cold, and unatfected by the ac- tion of acids, gases, fumes, etx. The material is compressed in the course of manufacture to such a solid consist- ence that it may be classed as 8 fire retardent, while it may be surfaced | ‘wih sand, gravel or mastic, as may be ordered. In the manufacture of asphait board there are used four layers of saturat- ed, felt, threa of parchmentized cellu-| loge and six of cementing composition to which are added two weather coats applied to the outside. . ie A Lavender Town, One of the miner harvests that promises‘well is that of the lavender fields. I have seen some flourishing crops in the Hitchin neighborhood re- cently. Comparatively few know of this quaint Hertfordshire town as an important lavendergrowing center, yet it hag grown the sweet old herb (which the Romans called Lavendula when they used it to scent their baths), has distilled the flowers and sent their extract into all parts of the world for more than 3 century. At cutting time people come In from miles around to inhale the sweetness of the fields, and when the distilling begins the fragrance of lavender fe borne on the wind two miles or more trom the town. The flowers aré put into the still with the fresh bloom of ‘thelr maturity on them, and from six pounds of such flowers about half az ouneo of ol is _extracted—Londor Mall. ‘The dated sandwich fs an innovation in the railroad station restaurant ser- vice, 7 , HPA DRby cle.

A Maw feels better when he owns even the smallest piece of property. Our. young men have excellent chances now to own pro- perty that will in a short time in- erease in value. Next Tuesday marks the close of the registration books in this State. Voters desiring to partici- pate in the elections of this year had better hustle in order to get their names on the registration list. All of our readers in this State. should agitate the matter and urge the delinquents to quali- fy before Tuesday. Cotorep Republicans in various parts of the State are alive to the issues raised by Tar Trreune, and unless there be a mighty change, at the proper time there will be “something doing.” Those who havo been thinking that the dis- franchigement law would eliminate the Negro, will be badly disap- pointed. ‘Tx model farm in this county Is destined todo much for the agri- cultural growth of this section. It would behooye our farmers to visit this farm and note the improved manner of prepsring the grounds, planting and caring for the crops. Onur people must get advanced ideas and keep abreast of the times jn order to keep up with their eompetitors. Tus Senate Committee has re- ported favorably on the bill mak- ing an appropriation for the reim- barsement of the defunct Freed- man’s bank depositors. Every fair minded person should labor for: the passage of this bill, thus helping thousands of dependants who lost their all in this bank fail- ure. Hon. J, W. Lyons of Au- gusta is still doing his part in looking after its passage. Tne Rodenburg joint resolution ereating a commission to investi- tigate and report on the advisabil- ity of holding a semi-centennial exposition commemorative of our freedom, was favorably reported on Wednesday and will without doubt pass. This is the dill favor- ed by President Taftand Dr. Wash- Ington. Those of our people who are signing petitions contrary to the above are not in the least help- ine the cause. . In our city we havea nnmber of young boys and men with bright minds who should be organized in order to study race history and learn more about the‘men and wo- men of the race who have accom- plished something. But very few our young people know much about the men who have made his- tory for the race. They and their deeds should be known and per- petuated in our store houses of knowledge and by pictures in our homes. In this respect Savannah should not be behind other- places. Tr isa matter of inspiration to drive around the city and have point out to you the large number of fine homes and well located lots and other property owned by our people. This shows that these of our people have not been sleep- ing but have been making well of their opportunities in saving and investing their money. Their ex- cellent example should be followed by many others, who instead of paying rent, be living in and pay- ing for their own homes. Proper- ty is cheaper here now than it will ever be and while it is so, purhases should be made. * “Porthe first time Inthe history of Oregon a colored mansits on a case in the Federal Court, and so novel is It. that he Is commented on by the daily papers It Is said that ho wae agreed upon by the attorneys for both aides be- cauge.of the high character of his {ntelll- gence and the brilllancy with which he onewers quatticas. Of course we who Know Mr Parry, the furor 1a question, Knew that already, but frhat makes us rejoice ie the fact that there is another iUustration about to be given to the un- laltiated as relating to. the development ef the Colored American and it goes ‘without saying that more than one man will gain a better opinion of the race by ‘the contact with this one.” —Portland_Ad- voeate, ‘Tea Tarppne eongratulates omr friends-in the northwest on-the re- cognition of. their citizensbip , by having oneof-their number’ selact- éd.asia juror ins Federal Court. The Adyocate’s gushing article.in this great.epoch causes our mind to: reyert to times when our section of the country was assailed forits attitude towards us, and to note now that the right of serv- ing on the jury had been denied our men in the free air of -the northwest. For the benefit of those who are not aware of the facts, we will state that from early reconstruction times to the present, colored men have served on every jury, not alone in the Federal, but the state, county and city court: in this section. And too, they are treated alright. We urge our friends to'be less rampant about prejudices in this section and labor more for self-betterment in their localitr. _ “Leroy Bowers southern blood rose today when, summoried as a juror in the supreme court, he found himself down on @ panel with @ negro. “Bowers rose immediately and‘asked to be excused from serving, declaring his southern education, traiaing and instincts prompted him to make the request. Jus- tice Ford granted the request, but rot be- fore giving Bowersa severe acorlng., de- claring him ‘unfit for jury service, either in this cane or in this court.""” Mr, Bowers, no doubt, is among those southerners whom a well- known Georgian stated a few weeks ago, are flip on the tongue for commercial reasons. Men of Mr. Bowers’ equal, possibly superior, bave sat on pauels in various courts in this city with colored men, The relation between them have always been cordial, in fact it comes nat- ural to a southern, gentleman to treat everybody courteously. The Second of a Series of Artieles Concerning Beach Institute, the Industreal De- partment. leaning towards the value of industrial training for the youths of the land, it cannot be amits to speak here, of that feature as it is seen at the above named institution.

Under his caro and instruction the boys of the institn- tion are making rapid progress in the use of tools. ‘They are making not only articles for exhibition but also those suitable to general use Many of the products of their handicraft now line the walls of the shop, and upon inspec: tion one would marvel at the trath of the statement ‘that theso articles are the products of the boys of the several classes and not the work of expert mechanics. In the regular carpenter- shop there are saveral long benches fur- nished with ‘devices for holding the material, being worked in place while Plsning, sawing, chiseling or driving: ‘Tools suited to ull classes of wood-work are in evidence and nee, and n huge stone, soon to be turned by power Is al 20 provided. ‘This article of com- merce,” says Prof: Weld, ‘is asnecesea- ry as the tools, far upon it depends that nicety of finish that makes the articles attractive and acceptable.” “Among the articles made by these students are various little tressles, tools and nail boxes, bill files and mitre boxes.

EAR GE RL a of removing gape worms from a chick's throat. Of course it fs not gape worm, but gape worms, thougn there be ‘hut ane ful body in the throat. Just one pair will'seldom hart 2 chick. It-will not suck enough blood to kill the chick, or fill enough space to choke it. But there Hes the the trouble, mere than one hunts the throat. I like three doubled and well tristed horsehairs best. I keep ‘these all through one season if a tur- Pentine bottle. One must be careful, as even so little as a drop of turpen- tine In the windpipe will often Idll the chick. Horse hairs are not so harsh as blue grass, and yet blue grass is quite effeotive. ‘Where does the gape worm come from, and how does it get in the chick's windplpe? It elther crawls there or is hatched there. The gape worm comes from the ground 23 oth- er worms. Of course like ail other specialized life it has come from sim- pier forms. It has evolved from a Yower form, in which the reproduc- tive organs of both sexes are in one body. But now, If you examine one taken: from the chick's throat, you will find the worm has two heads, and the smaller head has a short body which 1s the male growing from the Side of the female. Both sucker mouths fasten in the shape of the let- ler y on the windpipe; the bodies ad- here, and sa co the eggs. The chick picks up worms of egss, and the crop retalns them at least in part. If large endugh, when picked from dirty water or thé ground, or let loose from the bodies of fishing worms, .they crawl straight into the windpipe. This has been proved, and also ¢hat they can hatch in the crop—and I think, from microscopic examination, in the folds of the windpipe also. Look at one through a small microscope ar read- ing glass. They mature in eight days, when the combined bodies break apart and let oat the eggs, when, of course, the parents die. Old fowls have them in plenty, so do crows, hawks, pigeons and wild birds. I saw two robins dy- Ing of the gapes last year. This is how they get to the chicks. There is no other worm now known exactly Ike the gape worm. It seems so strange to me to hear J. C. Clipp advising millet seed as a fine chick food: Millet seed in small quantities stimulates but I will: not buy chick feed In which ft Is found in avy quantity, and neither will come poultry keepers, prominent as great shippers of fine stock. I cannot think that I am wrong in this, bsciuse I am quite sure that I have known it to nearly decimate a flock of small chicks, and I hare known older flocks, when fed it exclusively, to gét mis- erably poor and stupid, and always. go lame, and this is not because of its fattening quality but its power for ’ causing kidney trouble, just as it dies if fed in the grass or hay too largely to horses.

This was in the year 1702, It was produced at Drury Lane. The great institutor of pantomime in England, was, how- ever, John Rich, who deviser this form of entertainment in 3717. His first emphatic success was in 1724, when he produced “The Necromancer; or, History of De, Faustus,” So suc- cessful was Rich with his pantomimes that Garick, Quin and others became exasperated. Rich Hved to see pan- tomimes firmly established at Drury Lane and Covent Garden, He died in 1761. : Regarding the subjects of panto- mimes, the most popular theme this year is, we are informed, “Cinderella,” ‘with “Babes in the Wood" second and “Dick Whittington” third. If the Lon- don and suburban pantomimes are taken alone “Cinderella” will again be first, while “Babes fn the Wood” and “Aladdin” te for second place, In London and the provinces “Cinderel- 1a” has does chosen fourteen times, “Babes In the Wood” twelve times and “Dick Whittington” ten times. ‘Looking: back over'the last eighteen yeara we find that the most subjects have been “Cinderella,” “Aladdin,” “Dick Whittington,” “Robinson Cru- so,” and “Babes in the Wood," In the order given."—From the Stage. ‘The Record of Raindrops, It fa by carefully noting small and apparently Insignificant things and facts that men of science are enabled to reach some of thelr most surpris- ing and-interesting conclusions, In many places the surface ‘of rocks, which millions of years ago must have formed sandy or muddy sea Deaches, 1s found to be pitted with the impressions of raindrops. In Eng- Jaba it has been noticed that in many cases the eastern sides of these de- pressions are, the more deeply pitted, indicating that the raindrops whict formed them were driven before a west wind. From this the concluston 4s drawn that in the remote epoch when the pits "were formed the ma- Jority of the storms in England came trom the west, just as they do today. —Harper’s' Weekly. ~ "Trouble In Vain. : .

MAD GANDER SAVES CHILD FROM DEATH BY AUTOMOBILE MAD GANDER SAVES CHILD FROM DEATH BY AUTOMOBILE Causes Machine to Upset As It Neared Baby in Road---The Grouch Redeems Itself---Fowl, a Terror For Ten Years, Inadvertently Does One Good Act and Dies. Muskogee Has a Club of Fourteen Members Who Meet Daily to Train Off Obesity; INVENTS A POCKET WIRELESS. German Priest Exhibits Apparatus to Scientific Body Montville, N. J.—A bad tempered old gander, known to everybody in the village as "The Grouch," redeemed a bad reputation of ten years' standing, and at the same time lost its life, in saving Agnes Stilton, three years old, from death under the wheels of an automobile. When the child was ready to go out and have her usual comp' in the little-frequented read the hired man chased the gander into the smoke house and closed the door by means of an old fashioned wooden button. It was necessary to take this precaution inasmuch as there was nothing "The Grouch" liked so much as to pursue the little girl with flapping wings and shrill squawks. In this way every time it had a chance it would frighten her into the house, leaving it in undisturbed possession of the road. Whether the smoke house door was not buttoned tight or the gander squeezed through a crack, or flee out a window, is not known, but at any rate Agnes had not been playing long when "The Grouch" sailed into the road, raising the dust, hissing and flapping its wings, and making for her with all its might: "Mamma!" cried the little child in terror, shielding its face with its outspread hands. Just then a touring car, driven by Harold Grant, of East Orange, rounded the sharp turn in the road. The barn stands at the turn, cutting off the view in both directions. The road rarely is used by automobiles, and this is the reason why the Stilton child was permitted to play there. Grant was going fast on a level stretch, and as he swept around the turn the old white gander stood up so large in his startled vision he did not see the fleeing girl beyond. The gander's neck was stretched to its full extent and the wings were spread wide apart. That was no time to stop, and when, an instant after seeing the goose, Grant spied the little girl ahead, he let out a yell of alarm that brought all the folk out of the Stilton and I farmhouse on the rush. The East attack GIRLS ROLL OVER TO Muskogee Has a Club of For Meet Dally to Train Muskogee, Okla.—Society matrons and buds who are inclined to obesity have organized a "Roller Club" here. They are getting so thin their relatives and friends are alarmed. The fad is spreading too. Everything fat and feminine here is on the roll. They roll before breakfast, before luncheon, before dinner and before going to bed. Constant rolling over the floor may wear the nap off the carpet, but that matters little so long as it wears the fat off the roller. The founder of the roller cult is a pretty widow who, until she rolled her superfluous flesh off, was one of the stoutest creaturews west of the Mississippi. Her friends and associates noticed she was losing flesh. At first they were alarmed, fearing her health was breaking and that the loss of flesh was the outward and visible sign of early dissolution. She INVENTS A POCKET German Priest Exhibits Appar --- Berlin.—A wireless pocket telegraph apparatus was exhibited by the inventor, Professor Cerebotani, the priest in charge of the Munich parish, during a scientific lecture before an audience of persons engaged in the various branches of scientific investigation. The instrument consists of a wooden base, with the letters of the alphabet thereon arranged in a circle. A small metal indicator swings on a pivot in the centre, so adjusted as to respond to the wireless dot and dash currents and spell out Wear Wire Rats. Ladies---- "If You Don't You'll Get Bald." Boston. "The pilling of false hair, which doesn't allow the air to get at the scalp, is the great cause for the increase of baldness among women," said Dr. C. J. White, dermatologist at the Massachusetts General Hospital, lecturing at the Harvard Medical School on the care of the skin in health and disease. "Wear wire rats and puffs," said Dr. White. "They look just as well, and are more economical and more healthful." Orange man involuntarily closed his eyes to avoid witnessing the tragedy he felt, as he said afterward, was sure to happen. But it didn't. The automobile struck the gander full tilt, but the impact swerved the front wheels out of their course, and by the time "The Grouch" had come down, lifeless, from its skyrocket flight, the auto had darted diagonally across the road and was lying upside down in the ditch. Grant had instinctively let go the steering wheel at the psychological moment, and he shot over the top of a post-and-rall fence and stuck, feet up, in a pile of fertilizing material. He lost no time in withdrawing his head from the mess, and then fell on his knees and prayed—just why, he says, he doesn't know. As for Agnes, all had happened so quickly she hadn't had time to be scared at anything but the mean old gauder. She whimpered a bit when she saw how thoroughly and completely dead the gander was. Then she stood and watched her father and other persons right the automobile and set it on its way. "The Grouch" is to be stuffed and mounted. "The bird ain't deserving of it," said Stilton, "but, howsomeer, it saved my girl's life, though it didn't mean to, and I'll do a good turn." "The Grouch," which in its younger days was called "Peter," was for more than a decade a terror, not only to the other fowl in Farmer Abner Stilton's barnyard, but also to Mrs. Stilton and all the children in the neighborhood. It was a cantankerous bird with an evil eye, and when it got after either dog or child there was sure to be some tall running to get out of the way. Stilton's Muscovy duck, "Sarah Jane," was the only living thing with wings that even put up a fight. When "The Grouch" and "Sarah Jane" got going everybody flocked to hear the noise and see the feathers fly. Several years ago the gander chased a tomcat up a hemlock tree by the well and kept it there until the cat was attacked and killed by a large hawk. TO REDUCE FLESH Fourteen Members Whoain Off Obesity. laughed at the fears expressed and finally admitted, she had done it all by rolling over and on the floor. "It is the style to be hipless now, and one might as well be dead as to be out of style," she said. "I discovered that rolling reduces flush and removes hips, and I have been keeping it up. I hope that ultimately I shall be as willowy as the willowest." That settled it. The fat women held a meeting and organized the "Roller Club." Men who pass the day in the street dodging automobiles now pass the evenings at home dodging their rolling wives and daughters, who simply are fading away as a result of the exercise. The women vie with each other in the number of rolls made. The average is 100. The highest score is 250. Many of the women wear pajamas for rolling exercise, such garments interfering less than do skirts. CKET WIRELESS. apparatus to Scientific Body the message. The apparatus is very simple. It is somewhat larger than the ordinary card case. Professor Cerebotani, who is noted as an amateur scientist, stated that a French journalist had attributed to him erroneously the invention of a wireless pocket telegraph instrument some time ago. He wrote to the journal denying the invention. However, his letter was not published, and accordingly nothing remained for him in the way of vindication except to invent the apparatus described, which he proceeded to do.

To the Worslipful Masters, Wardens and Brethren; This comes to officially inform you that on Monday, March the 21st, between the hours of 11 and 12 o'clock in the day, our Orphans' Home at Americus was struck by lightning and almost wrecked. I have just returned from there. Fifty-five windows, with their frames, were torn out; the right hand tower was wrecked and split to the ground and will have to be taken down and re-built; the left tower has a large hole torn in it. The entire roof (which we put on two years ago at a cost of over $700) will have to be put on again. The sealing in our main auditorium has several great holes torn through it. There, were between sixty-five and seventy children in the school room on the ground floor at the time and the bolt passed directly under them and, as our heavenly Father would have it, not one was injured. Truly "He moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform." This is something we could not help. It is God's hand laid upon us. Let us rejoice and thank Him that it is no worse. Now, we must take fresh hope and courage and come together as one great family and repair our loss. God will help all who will make a sacrifice, to repair the home and school. I shall not set any assessment on any lodge, but I have partly pictured to you the condition and will tell you what we need and will leave it to you brethren to do your duty. I shall make special note of the lodges giving the greatest amount to the cause. It will take fully three thousand dollars to do the work. We have fifteen hundred dollars recommended by the insurance agent; hence, that leaves us to raise at once fifteen hundred dollars to make the three thousand dollars. Now, we can raise that in two weeks if every lodge will act at once and do its duty. In order that you may not get this mixed with your Grand Lodge claims please send it directly to the Grand Master. I will receipt you for it, record it and report it in my address to the Grand Lodge. Trusting for peace and harmony's continuous stay with us, I am Atlanta, Ga., 184 Auburn avenue. The above is also respectfully referred to the many Eastern Star chapters of the state. In addition to the regular amounts donated, each chapter is requested to send a special donation as soon as a meeting can be held, to Grand Master H. R.

"Plan your work and work your plan," somebody has tritely said, and it applies with particular force to a Masonic career: Your Masonic career must be built. It must be built bit by bit, and if the work is to be well done and the structure is a strong and shapely one; if it is to be as it ought to be built, for eternity, then you need a plan to guide you. No important structure was ever built without one. The plan of your Masonic career must be sketched by your imagination on the mind. You must carry there and keep always before your eyes, a picture of the Masonic career you want to live. This will be your plan and while you work laboriously in the sweat and heat of the day, building piece by piece, higher and higher, turn-to your complete picture for encouragement and inspiration. And how is the picture to be developed? This is the work of your ambition. To be ambitious, is to dream too long, to aspire to be something greater than we are. It is a desire to conquer, to win, to make the very most of one's self. And it is a magnificent thing for a man to strive with all the power that is in him to make the most of himself. The desire to distinguish one's self in Masonic circles is laudable and commendable.—Masonic Home! Journal. NEWSY GLEANINGS. The Chesapeake and Ohio bought control of the Hocking Valley system.

Unionists hope to defer elections in England until January, and predict that returns will show gains of 100 seats. The settlement of the boundary between Panama and Costa Rica was announced from the capital of the former country. The highest price ever paid for a painting, $500,000, was given by Otto H, Kahn, of New York City, for Franz Hals' picture of himself and his family. LABOR WORLD. Salt Lake City is reported to be overrun with carpenters. The Big Four depot in Springfield, Ohio, will be erected by union labor. The mines of Butte, Mont., have a combined payroll of $3,000,000 a year. The American Typographical Union's benefits last year amounted to $303,000. The Brotherhood of Railway Qlerks will hold its annual convention in New Orleans. The labor unions in Utica, N. Y., own a lot upon which they propose to erect a labor temple. The total membership of the unions in Austria in 1892 was 44,606; in 1907 it was 501,094. Philadelphia carmen strikers issued a proclamation modelled after the Declaration of Independence. Hotel and Restaurant Employees' International paid $70,928 in sick benefits in the last fiscal year. The building trades in Germany anticipated a heavy fight, but have been preparing for it for a long time. The Dallas (Texas) Central Labor Council has been chartered recently by the American Federation of Labor. A local union of the Cloth Hat and Cap Makers' Union of North America has been formed in Brooklyn, N. Y. There are 250,000 unorganized women workers in New York City, and only 15,000 women trade unionists at present. The Lackawanna Railroad Company has granted an increase from five to ten cents an hour to all shopmen on the system. The exhibit which the International Typographical Union had at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition has been turned over to the Washington State Board of Health. The man who has bet his last dollar on the races would have spent it just as easy on other smoke. If you assume a virtue which you do not possess, be wary of the unmasking. The flower of gratitude grows only in well cultivated spaces. THE LATEST TRIUMPH OF THE MONO-RAIL ABROAD THE LATEST TRIUMPH OF THE MONO-RAIL ABROAD Nearly two years have passed since Mr. Louis Brennan displayed before a body of English engineers a working model) of a railway car exemplifying the features of the gyroscopic mode of locomotion. He has now demonstrated in a fashion quite conclusive to the scientific press of Europe that all the claims then made for the mono-rail are practically realized. Intense interest has therefore been awakened in the prospect of soon propelling railroad cars on a single line of rail laid on the ground. They will be maintained upright by means of gyroscopic control, and, in the light of the demonstration just made, they will turn sharp curves and ascend steep gradients. Apart from this gyroscopic control, the railroad cars would capsize. Mr. Brennan imparts stability to his vehicles, as London Engineering notes, through the same principle which we see on its greatest scale when Nature steadies the movements of the heavenly bodies in their orbits. The earth revolves on its ```markdown ``` THE MIRACLE OF BALANCE.

The cost of construction of half by this invention, and the cost of Turning a corner with the utmost ease and at considerable speed during the experiments in England a few weeks ago, the Brennan mono-rail demonstrated before a large party of engineers the feasibility, from a commercial standpoint, of this gyroscopic mode of locomotion. The tests were conducted with the greatest ease, owing to the perfection attained in the balancing mechanism, which remains perfectly under the control of the operator. The cost of construction of railroads per mile will be reduced one-half by this invention, and the cost of operation by fully two-thirds. own axis, our contemporary explains, says, Current Literature, "In the same direction as you deal a hand at cards or pass the port, from right to left." It also moves on its orbit around the sun in the same direction. Dickens' Last Words. The most interesting person at the recent Dickens Bazaar at Caxton Hall was Miss Georgina Hogarth, Miss Hogarth is 84. She was a child when she went to live under the roof of "But besides these two movements there is a third, which was discovered by the Greek astronomer, Hipparchus, who lived in Bithynia about 160 to 125 B.C. He made several important contributions to scientific knowledge, but by far the most valuable one, which he must have obtained by analyzing the Chaldean observations recorded for the previous 1500 years, was that the axis of the earth has a special top-like motion—known as 'precession'—in the opposite direction to that in which the earth itself rotates. If you mount a gyroscope, or magic top (a flywheel within a ring), upon a long pair of spindle-legs with pointed extremities, which will not hold themselves upright when the flywheel is at rest, you will find that rotating the flywheel keeps the whole structure steady. By degrees, of course, the outer circle increases its precession to a point at which a fall is inevitable; but, as Lord Kelvin pointed out, 'hurry on the precession and the top rises.' That is to say, in this kingdom of anomalies we are investigating, if you increase a movement which would, unaided, have produced a fall, you actually prevent that fall from taking place. "The peculiar property of 'gyrostatic domination' has been known, therefore, to exist. But Mr. Brennan is the first to investigate fully those stresses which it causes in the spindle-legs of the instrument I have described, and he is the first to discover a practical way of automatically 'hurrying the precession' in a manner which enables a machine containing his invention to keep its own balance under all conditions. CERTAIN CERTAINLY NOT! Costumer (to customer)—"You must consider, also, madame, that my assistant, being only a poor working girl, cannot give that air of distinction to the dress that you can." Dr. Albert Wilson, the chief clist, described the result of recent work in a lecture by members of the Society for the Elf of Incheltry recently. "Although alcohol is no problem in crime, I could not platform with criminals who are totalers," said Dr. Wilson, titularly accomplished, criminally me the other day that he had entirely away from drinking a crime.

The most interesting person at the recent Dickens Bazaar at Caxton Hall was Miss Georgina Hogarth, Miss Hogarth is 84. She was a child when she went to live under the roof of her brother-in-law, Charles Dickens, and she remained a member of his household till the final summons came to the great novelist. She was with him when he was struck down. His last words were "On the ground." She alone heard them. It is generally supposed that Miss Hogarth was in Dickens's mind when he follted down in his notebook the following outline of a "character" for future use: "She—sacrificed to children, and sufficiently rewarded. From a child herself always 'the children' (of somebody else) to engross her. And so it comes to pass that she is never married; never herself has a child; is also devoted to 'the children' (of somebody else); and they love her; and 'she has always youth dependent on her till her death—and dies quite happily."—Lady's Pictorial. Comparisons Are Dangerous. "A chap told me this morning that I looked the image of you." "Where is the idiot? I'll pound the life out of him." "Too late. I killed him."—New York Times. She—"That's Mr. Osborn over there, He married a million." He—"You don't say. Well, that beats Solomon to a frazzle."—Boston Transcript. In Louisiana the law permits a widow to marry again only provided she has waited until ten months after the death of her husband. LY NOT! ae = Sn se S: =
