Losing Their Horns.

The Milwaukee Wisconsin says: The
Humane Society has decided to warn
George Day and Thomas Russell, the
Rubicon farmers, rot to cut the horns
off any moro cattle. Farmers in other
parts of Wisconsin are resorting to the
same practice, and the society will try
to stop 1t. The following dispatch from
Genesco, ILL.,, shows that the Illinois
Humane Society has been unsuccessful
in an attempt to stop the practice of de-
horning cattle: 'The trial of II. II.
Hua(f, for cruelty to animals, consisting
in dchorning cattle, came to sudden
close by o. i. Dudley, chief agent of
the Illinois Humane Society, asking on
behalf of that society to have the case
dismissed The farmers who were sum-
moned as witnesses all testified that de-
horning was beneficial to animals, and
the evidence being almost wholly in
favor of the defendant, the prosecution
gave up the fight. Immediately after
the court adjourned the farmers held q
big meeting and passed resolutions In
favor of the practice. Mr.. Dudley said
he was surprised at the evidence being
20 much in favor of the method, and
that, as the trial would have resulted in
the acouttal of the defendant, the HUI
name Society thought best to have the
case dismissed. Dchorning will be in
dulged in very generally in this section
in the spring"

Worn at q Wedding.

At very elegant wedding in New
York city the bride, a tall, graceful
blonde Of slender but very beautiful form,
wore a pcrfect-fitting princesse dress,
the front of which was a mass of pearl
and crystal embroidery, the long, white
satin train caught up with elegant orna-
ments of pearl. The corsage was cut out
heart-shape, and narrow bands of lace
and pearl embroidery served in the place
of sleeves, the long Swede SAKE gloves
nearly reaching to the bands. The
bridesmaids, three in number, wore pink
plush dresses, with vests covered with
garnet bead embroidery and corsage
boquets of blush roses, buds, and sprigs
of cape jessamine and foliage mingled.
Garnet ornaments were worn upon HAIR,
throat, and wrists. The boquets were
exceedingly large, and IN addition each
carried tiny basket of exotics on her
arm. The brides mother wore trained
dress of gray satin brocatclle. A young
lady guest was attired in a unique tot
let of ruby velvet, trimmed with olive
and gold striped satin and velvet, the
two fabrics made up in Oriental fashion,
with short sleeves with "wings," these
held on the shoulders by antique clasps
of hammered gold, quantity decorated II
brilliant enamelling. A singularly ele-
CANT yet simple dress worn by lady
from Philadelphia, was formed of mauvc
satin, with long train clinging closely
to the figure. Across the front was a
graceful scarf drapery of real Spanish
lace The Medici corsagc was cut out
square in the neck and edged with the
lace, and beyond was the high satin
fraise covered entirely with white pearl
embroidery. A large bOquet de corsage
of pure white roses completed most be-
coming and lady-like toilet.

The Bogus Butter.

Lipnan Arensberg was tried in the
Brooklyn Court of Sessions on an lndict-
ment for misdemeanor in having manu-
featured and sold oleomargarine A
chemist testified that he had found that
the article sold was yellow like butter,
and that it was made out of animal fat
other than butter fat. He didn't know
what the substance was, except that it
did not come from milk. The defence
proved that dairy butter was often color.
ed. . Defendants Attorney asked for an
acquittal on the ground that the statute
was unconstitutional.
GAS to the provision about coloring
matter" said the Attorney, lit applies
only to dealers in artificial butter, and
vet it has been shown that the manu-.
facturcrs of dairy butter color it. The
law IS a prohibition against my client
that he shall not use coloring matter and
a permission to others that they may.
Gov. Cornell refused to sign bill oil
this kind, because the law was to be in
the interest of one class against another.
The law, to be fairly constructed to my
client, ought to be read so as to make il
protection against fraud; but instead,
it is made to prohibit making clean,
honest, wholesome article of food for the
benefit of the poor"
Judge Moore charged that the law
was constitutional, and that if the jury
found that the defendant sold oleomar
garine it was an Offense and they must
convict They did convict and fine Of
1925 was imposed, with a stay pending
the decision of the Court of Appeals.

Novel Civil Rights Case.

An interesting case, which will come
into the courts under the provisions of
the Civil Rights law, has been developed
in Greenville county, s. G. The West
ern Gault High School, few miles out
side the city of Greenville, is flourish
Ing one for white scholars, and is taught
by A. E. Ewart. It is supported partly
by individual subscriptions of white
citizens and partly from the public funds.
In the neighborhood there is a white
woman married to well-to-do renter
named Smith, who says he Is Spaniard,
but is regarded as full-blooded negro,
having every appearance of being one.
Before her marriage to Smith the woman
was widow and had a number of chill
dren who are pure white, These children,
however, regard Smith as their father,
and are called by his name.
Last week one of them boy of IA,
was sent to Mr.. Ewart's school. Mr..
Ewart promptly objected to the atten-
dance of the boy, and reported the case
to the trustees. A number of patrons of
the school gave notice that if the Smith
boy attended it they would withdraw
their children. On Tuesday the trustees
met and unanimously decided to dismiss
the boy. The community sustains Mr.
Ewart and the trustees, but the Smiths
are indignant, and declare their purpose
to prosecute the teacher and the trustees
in the United States Court under the
Civil Rights Law. But it is difficult to
see how such prosecution could be had,
as the boy was not Disseminated a ,ainst
because of his race, color, or previous
condition, he being full-blooded white,
and was objected to only because of the
social position of his parents. The case
is without precedent so far as is known.

A Fiendish Plot Discovered.

One of the most diabolical plots ever
planned to overthrow a government has
just been discovered in Guatemala, the
most thriving Republic of Central
America. 1t was scheme to set fire to
the Grand Hotel and the theatre at a
given time when there might be ex-
pccted to be a full house. In the panic
that would certainly ensue the intention
of the conspirators was to take posses
sion of the barracks without any great
risk to themselves. President Barrillas
and his family were to be murdered, all
foreigners attacked and the city sacked.
The discovery of the plan led to the
arrest of about fifty persons, including
some colonies in the army, and they are
now undergoing trial for their treason
able designs.

John G. Emo and his young wife, ac-
cording to a Quebec correspondent,
have, ever since their enforced exile in
the quaint old French Canadian city,
been pressing themselves into the set of
society which centres around the gar

the Government officers. At first Emo

A Husbands Devotion.
A WONDERFUL SURGICAL OPERATION AND
WHAT CAUSED IT.

Writing from Paris Max O'Rell tells
the following touching story:
Not long ago the husband of lovely
little woman whom he had but few
weeks before led to the altar saw her
safe into a carriage in which she was
setting out to make some calls. She
was the very light of his eyes, and they
had spent few hours apart since their
wedding day. Imagine his state of
mind when, late in the afternoon, she
was brought home senseless and almost
unacceptable But to go back little.
The horse that drew the carriage
slipped in rounding corner, the We
hicle turned over and the face of its oc-
cupant was terribly mutilated with
broken glass from the windows. When
the crowd which soon surrounded the
carriage had extricated the poor little
prisoner, she was taken insensible
into the shop of the nearest chemist to
have her injuries examined. The cuts
and scratches were dreadful, but the
worst was cash from ear to mouth,
from which long piece of torn flesh
hung. The poor chemist seems to have
lost his head at the sight, for, instead
of sewing the piece in place again, he
cut it off and, seeing that the patient
remained unconscious, he washed his
hands of her as quickly as possible and
saw her driven off in a cab, to be taken
home.
The doctor, who is called in breath
less haste, exclaims upon the butchery
of the chemists surgery, and says there
is nothing to be done but to take q
piece out of the arm of the poor victim,
to supply tho place of that which the
chemist had SO stupidity cut off. But
the half frantic husband will not hear
of it, and taking of his coat and barring
his arm, offers it to the doctor and bids
him cut from that and not touch her
with his knife. ''But," says the doc
tor, Zone mutilated person is enough in
a family, my dear fellow. Besides, the
pain would be horrible" However,
the young, heroic husband stuck to his
point, and, it is said, went through the
operation with smile on his lips re-
marking that they vowed to have all
things in common, pains as well as joys.
The doctor did his work deity, the
traces of his needle are already faint,
and he says that when the healing pro-
cess is complete, there will scarcely be
visible trace of the terrible accident.
