A Toy Sprinkler Made Out of An Eng

straws, q Cork and u Bottle-Portable
Boat.
A Tow Sprinkler.

Here is a toy sprinkler that any
bright boy or girl can make with the
aid of a pocket knife and a gimlet; the
necessary materials are an English
walnut, two hazel nuts, two straws, a
cork and a bottle. Following is a de-
scription of how to make the sprinkler:
Remove by the aid of a small saw or
a pocket knife about one-third Of a
walnut. Then take out the kernel Of
the remaining larger part and make it
nice and smooth inside with the knife.
Now you bore two holes in the sides
of the shell, and insert a straw in
each hole, the straws to be about two
and one-half inches long. Then take
two hazel nuts and make two holes in
each, the holes being in right angle
with each other and reaching the GEN.
ter Of the kernel. Now put the straws
coming out of the walnut in the top
hole of the hazel nut, and in the side
hole you introduce a short piece of
straw. Use beeswax or sealing wax
for stopping all leaks. Now your
sprinkler is ready for use, and all you
have to do is to place the walnut on
it's pointed end on the cork of an
empty bottle and pour water in the
walnut basin. The water will then

An Untimely Death.

Scarcely had the ink become dry on
our last issue, announcing the serious
illness at Shawnee, Okla. of Fayette
Wright, than word was received by
friends in the city, that after short
unequal struggle with the angel of
death he had succumbed and that his
family would arrive with the remains
Saturday afternoon.
Sunday at 2 Pm. the remains were
accompanied by large cortege to their
last resting place in Fairview cemetery.
We are unable to give expression to
words that would console the bereaved
family in the loss of their husband and
father and can only express the hope
that Time S soothing hand will accom-
plish what human words cannot.

Mrs. Deborah Morris, wife of Michael
Morris, died last Sunday evening at the
residence of her son in Van Buren,. after
an extended illness. Mrs. Morris had
reached the ripe age of rs years, and
while her death was not unexpected it
will nevertheless fall heavily on those
who daily received demonstrations of
her true womanly and christian char
acter. The remains.were Monday in
tered in Fairview cemetery.
Elaborate Easter services were held
at all the churches last Sunday and
there was good attendance at each.
But the weather clerk must have had a
spite against the Easter gowns and

much promenading aud no doubt there
were many disappointed danes and
damsels. who would have made it ex
ceedingly unpleasant for the dispenser
of the weather had they had the oppor

THE sUPRI ME COURT.
It VIII Leave Forty or Fifty Cases
Undecided.

The Supreme court yesterday complet-
cd its docket for the present session. AT
the end of the present week the court
will adjourn for Christmas holiday. 1t
will not convene again until the first
Monday in February, opening Of the
spring term.
There are no end-of-the-docket eases
at the fall term, except State cases.
So next week only the five State eases
left over will be argued, and one politi-
cal case that has been advanced on
the docket This case is Theophilus
White VS.. State Auditor and Treasurer
for salary as shell fish commissioner
1t viii be called Tuesday. The State
cases are:
State VS.. Battle, Second district.
State rs. Denton, (Third district.
State VS.. Jefferson, (Third district.
State vs.. Ford, Seventh district.
State VS.. Brown, Eighth district.
There are some forty or fifty cases
now on the docket that have been ar
gued at this session but have not yet
been decided. This unusually large num-
her is due to the fact that there have
been more political eases argued in the
court this session than ever before
known. and they have consumed much
Of the opinion-writing time OF the judges.
Big patches Of opinions are, however,
expected TO be handed down this week.
There were also quite a number Of
cases ON the docket at this tern-nota-
bly, from the Third and Fifth districts
that could not be argued for lack Of
time.
