The source OF YitalltY.

1t is from the blood that the body derives
vitality, since not only does the blood con.
tain the elements of muscular and nervous
tissue and bone, but upon its outgo through
its many channels and refux to the heart,
existence itself depends. If then this vital
feeder and motor be deficient in nourishing
constituents, the body loses strength and
weight, and health languishes. In order to
enrich the bleod, and thus impart fresh vigor
to an enfeebled system, stimulate tagging
digestion with the national invigorant, Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, (which by infusing
energy into the operations of the stomach,
promotes, nay insures thorough digestion and
assimilation, and consequent nutrition. A
gain in appetite, vigor and flesh, and digest
i've tranquility is invariably found to follow
a course of this deservedly popular tonic.
which is moreover reliable preventive OF
malarial fevers.

A New PEST. Within three or four
years fox-tail, or porcupine, grass has taken
possession of most pasture lands in the val
ley. 1t looks something like wild oats
when starting up, and makes excellent
feed in its green condition. But, earlier
than any other grass in the summer, it
dries up and develops into short and
wiry nuisance, with bearded head like a
bundle of harpoons. Five minutes walk
through it is enough to line the inside of
trowsers legs, and they even work their
way, in time, into the most unexpected and
annoying hiding places in the folds of
clothing. Supervisor Robert Crane states
that hogs get blinded with this pest, and
farmers are obliged to take them out of the
fields on this account. The fox-tail gets
into the wool, and is serious injury to
grown sheep. Lambs gather the barbsd
heads about such parts as the belly and
fore legs, where they chafe the flesh, and
often penetrate it like a porcupine quill.
One Of Mr.. Cranes dogs became lame.
His feet were examined, and the stickers
were removed with tweezers but head
afterwards worked its way out half way up
his leg. What to do about this all.pervad-
ing pest that lines the roadsides and springs
up everywhere, we hardly know. 1t is
certain to interfere seriously with sheep
and hog growing .-[Santa Rosa Republic

TELEPHoNING HEAvEN.-A mother liv-
not far from the Postoffice, in this city,
tired with watching over sick baby, came
down stairs for moment the other day to
rest for few seconds. She heard the
voice of her little four-year old girl in the
hall by herself, and, curious to know to
whom she was talking, stopped minute in
the half-opened door. She saw that the
little thing had pulled chair up in front
of the telephone and stood upon it, with
the ear piece pressed against the side of her
head. The earnestness of the child showed
that she was in no playful mood, and this
was the conversation her mother heard
while tears stood thick in her eyes, the lit
tie one carrying on both sides as if she were
repeating the answers Hello p "Well,

"0ur baby is sick, and we want you to let
it get well. Won't you, now?" No an

little one put the ear piece back on its hook,
clambered down from her chair, and with
a radiant face went for her mother, who
caught her in her arms. The baby, whose
life had been despaired of, began to mend
that day and got well.-[Elmira Free Press.

/ the very bonds now sued for by Mr.. Robinson were
| therein contained, and that when Robinson re-
| turned said box the bonds in question not
contained in said box. 1t was the manifest inten
ton OF all part es that these bonds like the others
which had been paid, should be destroyed, and only
| the circumstance of Mr.. McLane's entire and i'm
plict reliance upon the integrity OF L. L. Robinson
seems to have prevented his discovery at the time
of the absence of those bonds from the number thus
DESTROYED.
| have no doubt whatever, after careful exami-
nation of the evidence, that the bonds sued for
herein we're actually paid, satisfied and discharged ;
that such the agreement OF all the parties, and
that Robinson fully acquiesced in and was party to
| such agreement.
Lester l.. Robinson the real party in interest
here He seems to have held full power OF attor-
ney from his brother, and to have simply carried
on his transactions in his brothers name The
brother who is the plaintiff herein, has never ap-
peared in this action. has never testified therein,
nor has his deposition ever been taken The COM
plant is to by Lester L. Robinson as the at
torney in fact of his brother There is no doubt Ill
nv mind that the hame Of James P. Robinson was
simply used in this action by Lester L., and that he
is now and always has been the real party in inter-
est herein.
This being SO, and it being apparent that he has
induced other bondhoders and creditors OF the COM
pany to accept ratable share Of the proceeds OF
said ssle under the said Hartley agreement, can he
now come into Court Of equity and seek to re-
pudiate the benefit of such agreement and obtain
| for himself advantage OF his own wrong
The mere statement of the principle is sufficient
to answer it. Coming into Court OF equity, whose
principle and rule is require that he who seeks
equity should do it, it IS manifest that he does not
| come with clean hands.
Having projected this enterprise, and participated
| therein having induced others to act upon his
representations. common honesty would require
that he shall not at this late day, and especially in
proceeding of this character, be heard to re-
pudiate it.
| / therefore conclude, upon the law and the evil
dence that the plaintiff does not certainly in equity
establish case here which would warrant . chan
cellor in compelling the trustees who participated in
this transaction to disregard it. That plaintiff is
here asserting not only stale, but an unconsciona-
bic claim claim which, III my opinion, the evil
dence abundantly shows was fully satisfied by his
| own consent Having enjoyed the fruits OF such
satisfaction, and retaining them, to grant him relief
IN this would simply operate as an injustice, if
not fraud, upon those whose money he has re-
ceived
1t is therefore ordered that decree be entered in
| favor of the defendant herein as prayed Tor.

Matrimonial Methods.

To show that the habit Of declaiming
against the beautitudes of matrimonial
life and protesting that the nation is to
be ruined if q period is not put to fash
ion is no new thing, we extract the fol-
lowing from the Connecticut Herald.
printed in the year 1923: GAS it is idle
to hope for reformation in those who are
possessed with the fashionable mania,
and as the want of cash seems to be the
obstacle to matrimony, I would beg leave
to propose q plan, which may prove
beneficial to both sexes. It is not O
new one, but has been 80 long out Of
date that it will at least possess the
charm of novelty. Let all marriageable
girls, young and old, be assembled an
nually at one place. Let them be put
up by an auctioneer one after another.
The rich will pay high price for the
handsomest The money thus received
should be bestowed as O. settlement on
the more homely, whom the aucGoneer
should present ~ regular order, asking
if any one would accept such an one
with such q sum. This plan was prac-
ticed with great success among the AS
syrians and several other nations of
antiquity, as any one of our ready made
arch@ologists will admit. By it the
rich will be able to support their bar
gains, Of course, and the second-chop
wives-to use q fowery and celestial
idiom-will bring something to support
their husbands and their own extrava-
gance; no one being obliged to accept
damsel if she has nothing but love and
duty to Offer"

look?" The eagle answered, "I seek q

talons." The eagle, persuaded by these
words, accepted the kite as mate. At
ter the election, so to speak, was over,
the eagle told the kite to fly off and
bring back the ostrich it had promised.
The kite scared aloft and returned in
time with q miserable little mouse in an
advanced state Of decomposition from
the length of time it had lain on the

The Southern Soldier.

In the winter of 1858 the First regi-
ment OF Virginia Artillery was in winter
quarters at Frederick Hall, Va. The
Second company of Richmond Howitz-
ers was camping on the grounds of DR..
Pendleton. Here an incident occurred
which illustrates how little regard the
volunteer had for army regulations,
Lieut.. O., Of the Salem Artillery, was q
graduate of the Virginia Military Insti-
tute at Lexington. He made himself
quite obnoxious to the BOYS by his
strict military discipline, whether In the
field or camp, or in the winter quarters.
1t was his great delight to be officer of
the day, on which occasion he would do
all he could to impress the men with
the idea that he was Gu .tait in army
regulations.
One night he rode up to the place
where the Second Howitzers were
parked and yelled out in a very loud
voice,
"Where is the sentinel on this post P"
The sentinel was sitting on ruptured
bag OF corn, engaged in parching q
quantity of the grain, more for the pur-
pose Of passing the time away (of course)
than with any intention of satiating his
appetite (for all good soldiers will re-
member that an appetite was an imple-
ment not marked down in the catalogue
Of Confederate soldiers accouter-
n1ents), and he replied;
1T amt post !; it's sack of oorn."
Where's your corporal p"
: "Sleep, I reckon. ..
why don't you walk your post ?"
"Didn't Istell you 'twa'nt a post?"
who's corporal of this guard ?"
' Chilly McC Carthy, Second Howitzers, .,
sleeps in second cabin at head of line on
left side, replied the sentry, all during
the conversation keeping his eye on his
frying pan, which he continued to shake
to keep his corn from burning.
I" Young man." said Lieut.. O., "you
don't seeh to know the first duty of O.
soldier. Hew long have you been in
the army?" =.
Three years, one month, ten days and
eighteen hours, when the relief comes
round. I always keep it to the notch, {"
replied the sentry, singing few snatch
es from the popular song Of those days:
When the cruel war is over"
"'.Why did younot rise, salute me and
walk your beat when I came up? I
shall report you to headquarters in the
morning for neglect of duty"
Saying which the Lieutenant departed
and soon disappeared in the darkness.
After giving him sufficient time to ge,
off some distance, the sentinel mounted
the pile of corn and yelled out:
Hello there, mister |"
"What'u you have ?" was the reply,
"Who are you, anyhow"
The Lieutenant answered: ct an
Lieut.. O., officer Of the day."

POet.Laureates of England. .

The custom of browning poet with
laurel originated among the Greeks, and
was adopted by the Romans, who bor-
rowed this, as many other things, from
their more cultured neighbors Of the
East. The poets who received the crown
were the ones who succeeded in the con-
tests In the twelfth century the GUS
tom was revived in Germany by the EN-
peror, who invented the title of poet
laureate. Petrarch was crowned in 1341
at the Roman capital, which event at
tached new interest to the title. The
early history Of the laureateship in Eng
land is traditional The story runs that
Edward III, in 1867, emulating the
coronation of Petrarch, granted the Office
to Chaucer, with yearly pension of 100
marks and tierce Of Malvoisie wine.
Ben, rare old Ben Jonson, mentions Henry
Scogan as the laureate Of Henry ".
John Kav, or Cain, was court-poet under
the same Office under Henry VII and
Henry VIII. j ohm Shelton received
from Oxford, and subsequently from
Cambridge, the title Of poet-laureate;
and Spenser is spoken of as the laureate
Of Queen Elizabeth, because of his hav-
ing received pension Of G10 year
when he presented her the first books of
the "Faerie Queen" In 1919 the
''order' was formally established by
James I, who granted Ben Jonson, by
patent, an annuity for life of 100 marks,
and thus secured his services. In 1880
the laureateship was made q patent
office In the gift of the Lord Chamberlain.
The salary was increased from 100
marks to G100, and tierce of Canary
wine was added, which was committed in
Southey's time for 927 year. There
was from that period regular succession
Of laureates. The performance of the
annual odes was suspended after the
final arrangement of George III in 1910.
The poet-laureate from the time Of
Southey has written what he chose and
and when he chose. Wordsworth wrote
nothing in return for the distinction, and
Tennyson has written very little. The
following is the list of the laureates from
Jonson's day to date:

Broom Corn.

Broom corn was introduced into this
country by DIR. Franklin. He saw.a
seed on a broom, planted it, and the
seeds from this single plant were the
beginning of broom corn as an American
agricultural product. The credit of the
broom.making industry is due to the
Shakers, who, raising the plants in their
gardens, manufactured the brooms and
sold them for 30 cents, or more, apiece.
immediately after the war, so great was
the profit from it's cultivation, that it
was soon overdone, and the many who
had rushed into the business we're soon
discouraged and abandoned it. Now it
is cultivated in all parts of the country.

England's Rulers.

The Norman line began with William
the Conqueror; then comes in succession
the houses of Plantagenet, Lancaster,
York, Tudor, Stuart, the Commonwealth,
Stuart Orange, Stuart, and Hanover.
William the Conqueror was the sixth
sovereign of Normandy. Henry III, the
first of the Plantagenets, was the son Of
Matilda of Scotland, direct descendant
of Edmund II, surnamed Honside, who
was the son and successor of Ethelred
II, born in $50, and King of the Anglo
Saxons in 1016. Henry ~, as the last
of the Plantagenets Orchard III left no
children, was the eldest son of John Of
Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, fourth son of
Edward III, and Of Blanche, daughter
and heiress Of Henry Plantagenet, Duke
Of Lancaster, great grandson of Henry
LII. Edward ~, the first of the House
OF York, was descended from the fifth
son Of Edward III, as the Lancastrian
Kings had descended from the fourth
son OF the same sovereign. Henry VII,
the first of the Tudors, was descendant
OF Henry Y. James 1 OF England and
vi Of Scotland, was the son of Lord
Darnley and Mary Queen of Scots, and
his right to the succession rested on his
descent from Henry VII through his
great-grandmother Margaret Charles
II was the second child among sixth OF
Charles [, and started anew the Stuart
line at the restoration. Mary, who with
William of Orange, ruled Britain, was a
Stuart, rs was also Anne, "the good
queen" George I, of the House of
Hanover, was descended on his mothers
side from James I. The following will
show the length of the reigns Of the
several houses:
