New Potato Pest.


A new potato pest has made its
appearance in Orange county in the
form of a small worm, which eats its
way upwards in the side of the stalk,
causing the plant to wither and die.
Farmers fear it may prove more de-
structive than the potato bug. No
remedy for the pest is as yet known.

thing up to ten cents share, as-
sisted by the untruthful news re-

daily newspapers. The second in
terest which pushed the boom
along was the business Office end
of the Denver daily newspapers
There was money in the advertis
ing, and, as a representative of one
those newspapers remarked to a
man who is engaged in promoting
an oil company near Denver, "You
can get plenty of news about your

third interest was represented by
those who had oil well tools, ma
chinery, supplies, etc to sell. The
bigger the demand caused by the
excitement created through the
gaudy and untruthful reports
printed in the Denver dailies, the
larger the profits Even the Boul-
der Herald recently said that the

field say that the entire PROPOSE

substantial back of it. Senator
johnson of Florence, who has just
returned from Boulder, says the
same. A fool and his money are
soon parted. The arm of the law
is long ard often slow to move,
but it sometimes lands people be-
hind the bars for obtaining money
under false pretenses, and there
are ample accommodations pro-
vided by the state at Canon City.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Logic is to woman all that intuition
is TO man.
When Credit opened her arms seduc-
lively, Thrift died of grief.
IT it were as easy to do as to promise
what an easy thing life would be.
Permitting a nickname IN childhood
is to be embarrassed in later life
The surest sign of weakness in argu.
ment is to grow wrathful and noisy.
Common sense is not a brilliant quail
ity, but it throws out a clear, steady
radiance.
A great many persons give advice
and are veXed when the generosity is
not laude6.
Many persons are in such a hurry to
express themselves that they cut their
tails off theic words.
TO be a good listener is to be a toler-
ant one. The face too, must be drilled
to mask itself at will.
Jealousy is the meanest Of passions.
and yet it houishes among the "jus"
as well as the unjust.
The person who has tact in abund-
ance and a certain softness Of tongue
can work his way TO fortune with little
effort.
The person with the introducing
habit should be snubbed. Every
woman, especially, has a right to say
whom she shall know.
1t is diverting to hear persons boast
of the number OF books they have
read. 1t Is more so when they cannot

SurpriainR Notices,

One of the latest fads is the wearing
of belts ornamented with Chinese
characters in silver. The characters
are generally chosen at random, for,
as few persons can read Chinese, the
meaning Of the hieroglyphics is re-
garded as of no Importance, Never
theless in the case of one of the belted
beauties, the fashion had an extremely
droll result. Quite lately she met an
educated Chinese gentleman, who eX-
pressed his admiration of the senti'
ments set forth in the lettering on her
belt. 1T is beautiful" he said, "and
/ congratulate you on the excellence
of your notices, which l think are un.
usual in your country" "Oh, the sen.
timents," replied the gratlfied owner Of
the adornment. "do tell me what the
characters mean" "There are but
two wishes expressed" said the China.

No Charm of Novelty.

The young husband of a story sent
to this column was hardly polite in
view of the presence of others than he
and his wife; but the sender Of the
anecdote devotes much space to de-
scription of the wife's temper. Her
outbreaks were frequent and ill.timed
and, as they live in hotel affected by
the set in which they move, their dif.
ferences form a topic Of gossip among
those who know them. They had
some friends in their apartments for
dinner on a recent evening; and the
Martinique catacylsm was touched up

THE BLACK DIAMOND.


and night began to merge into morn

as he hurried by me, and throwing a
cold glance at me as he turned away.
This, though unexpected, was scarcely
disconcertlng; but later, when l begged
a waltz from his lovely daughter, she
replied curly that her card was full
Now, as the band struck up the final
dance, Nithdale came into the room, a
ghastly pallor on his face, and rushed
to where l stood.

replying I hurried after him into the
adjoining chamber. There stood the
case, but the glass cover had been
broken in and the stone was gone!

called to a footman who was standing
open-mouthed by the door. "Now
Provost, you go back to the ballroom
and announce two extra dances. We
must keep every one here at all COSTS
The dance went on IN a half hearted
fashion, for the boldness of the thief
had piqued every ones curiosity, and
when a few minutes later Nithdale
appeared between the heavy curtains
that shrouded the door he was immedi-
ately 0ssailed, as l had been by an
eager crowd. Miss Fleming was
among the first at his side but he
ignored the questions put to him and
held up his hand to command silence

piciOn Of emotion that a thief has
visited this house tonight. The black

EYclamations of horror ran around
the guests, followed by a volley Of
questions.
"All the servants have been searched
but without success" he continued
when the murmurs had subsided some
what Therefore, can any one assist
the police and myself by informing me
when the stone was last seen in the
case?"
For moment here ensued a dead
silence; then one by one those who
had been in the adjoining room during
the previous two hours began to mar
rate their experiences.

A Headless Turtle.

1t has generally been supposed by
naturalists that the seat of the ami
mails instinct, as Of reason in man, is
in the brain. An incident related by
DR.. Eugene Murray-Aaron, formerly
secretary and curator of the American
chronological Society, which came
under his observation while one of a
party Of specimen hunters in the West
Indies, would go to show the con.
trary, says the New York Tribune
He says that a swapping turtle was
discovered on the beach of an island
where the party was encamped, max.
Ing for the water. One of the pArty
seized an AK and cut off the turtles
head. Still the headless body con.
tinued moving with scarcely dimin.
ished rapidity, leaving the head behind
on the sand. The turtle was picked
up and carried some distance inland.
then placed down, the neck facing
away from the sea. As II in perfect
condition, the turtle turned round and
made for the water again, apparently
anxious to escape even without its
head.

Something About Hair,

Homer wrote Of the long-haired
Greeks by way Of honorable distinc-
tion. subsequently the Athenian cav
airy and all Lacedaemonian soldiery
wore long hair. The Parthians and an
cient Persians wore long, bowling hair.
The Franks and ancient Teutons con-
sidered long hair a mark of high birth.
The Goths looked on short hair as a
mark of thralldom; so did the Gauls,
for which reason Julius Caesar, when
he subdued them, obliged them to cut
their hair short in token Of submis-
sion. In England judges, the Speaker
of the House of Commons and at one
time the bishops, wore long hair,
while criminals and paupers wore
short hair. On the other hand, Jewish
priests during their time of service
had their hair cut once n fortnight,
and Roman slaves wore their hair and
boards long, but shaved off their heads
when manumitted. Sailors who es-
capped from shipwreck shaved their
heads as If manumitted from the sea.

FOOTBALL IN TURKEY.
Sport is Pursued Under Great Difacultisa
in That Country.


Sport does not meet with much en-
couragement in Turkey, and is pursued
under great difficulties. A young Turk
called Rechad Bey, inspired by the
Smyrna and Constantinople football
match, organized a club among his
friends, together with some Greeks and
Armenians, and began practiclng. A
few days ago, in the middle of the
night police came to his house and car
ried him off to Scutari There he was
submitted to a long Interrogation as to
the club and the game of football. Mat.
tiers only grew more complicated, as
the Turkish word for ball is top" the
same as for cannon. The authorities
were convinced that they had found a
great plot, and that the club must be
a secret society. A special messenger
was sent for the ball, and that was
duly examined, and found to be an in
fernal machine. The regulations Of the
club were considered to be another
piece of damning evidence. and still
worse were the jerseys and colors Of
the club, which showed a complete or.
ganization, even to uniform.
After long deliberation, the culprlt
was sent to the higher police author
tiles in Stamboul, who went through
second long examination, and came TO
the conclusion that the Empire had
been saved from disntegration by the
early discovery of great plot They
dispatched the whole matter to be eX.
amined into at Yildiz. So the young
man, the football the rules and the
sweaters and kickers were all solemnly
taken to the palace, and a special com.
mission took the matter in hand. After
much careful thought and examination
Of the evidence, it was decided that
there might be nothing in it, hut it
must not be done again, Accordingly,
the young man was appointed Vice
Consul at Teheran and bundled off the
same day. This may appear perfectly
incredible. but it is absolutely true.-

What is stated TO be the oldest ship
in the world has recently been sold
at Teneriffe to be broken up, This is
the Italian ship Anita, registered at The
port of Genoa. The Anita, which re-
sembled Christopher Columbus's ship,
the Santa Maria, was built in Genoa
in 1913, and effected her last voyage
at the end of March, 1902, from Naples
to Teneriffe six or seven weeks ago.
The Anita was of tremendously stout
build, and had weathered countless
storms and tornadoes in all parts Of
the world; but, says the Shipping
World, it was also the slowest ship
afioat, taking 2O5 days on one voyage
from Baltimore to Rio Janeiro.

The idea that the age of a horse
can always be told by looking at his
teeth" said a veterinary surgeon, "ls
not entirely correct. After the eighth
year the horse has no more new teeth,
so that the tooth method is useless for
telling the age of a horse which is
more than eight years old. AS soon as
the set of teeth is complete a wrinkle
begins to appear on the upper edge Of
the lower eyelid, and a new wrinkle Is
added each year, so that to get at the
age of a horse more than eight you
must figure the teeth, plus the
wrinkles"
