We've summer girls and winter girls
And autumn girls as we'll;
We've yachting girls and horsey girls
And all of them are swell.
And then there is the golfing girl
Who gambols on the links,
Together with the manish girl
Who even smokes and drinks.
The cycle girls still with us, too,
Though she begins to feel
This automobile fever, which
Affects all things awheel.
And then there is the tennis girl,
The cricket girl, and she
Who revels in the giddy whirl
Of swell society.
But o. where is that girl Of yore
With grace and neatness and hair
a-curl?
O! how we long to greet once more
The modest "womanly girl

ISLANDER OVER THE WIRE.
Offensive Language Used by .
NefHhbor Through Telephone.

A new point has been raised by suit
filed in the circuit court at Macon, Mo-,
recently D. S. Farmer, of Hart, treas
urer of telephone company, demands
Of B. F. jenkins, stakeholder, $500
damages for slandering him over the
wire. He expects to make his case on
the testimony Of number of patrons
along the line who had their telephone
receivers down to hear what was going
on.
This Is the language the treasurer ac-
cuses jenkins Of addressing to him over
the wire:
"You have squandered 5000 or $500
of the company's money, and will make
you account for it at the next meeting
or will go after your bondsmen.'
He took pains to write the message
down. The petitioner says the Ian
guage was slanderous in that it charged
him in the hearing of many of the pa
irons of the line with embezzling or
stealing the funds Of the telephone COM
pany.
Under the Law of SANDER the offensive
language must be used 'in the presence
and hearing OF others" In this case 1t
can only be charged that 1t was "in the
hearing Of Others" as those who heard
it were admittedly not present. Farm
er's lawyers will contend that the effect
was the same.

PATENTS FLYING MACHINE.
South Dakotan Employs B-uoon
Supporting Frame Driven
by Motor Power.

Isaac l. Morris, of Melletto, s. D., has
been granted patent for flying ma
chine. 1t is his own invention. It is
alleged that the machine flies and is
controScd with ease. The inventor had
trouble to satisfy the examiners that
the invention would work. In his appli-
cation Mr. Morris says:
"a balloon-supported frame is en-
ployed, provided with motive power,
including means for lifting and means
for driving. It also carries steering
device and wheels to support the struc-
ture when on the ground.
Another purpose is to provide a
novel form of rotary wings used in con-
nection with fixed canopy wings of like
construction, all the wings being provid-
ed with automatically operating valves,
the valves of the rotary wings opening
at the upper strokes and closing at their
downward strokes, while the valves of
the fixed canopy wings operate stimuli
taneously with the rotary wings, but
reversely, the valves Of the canopy
wings are closed with their downward
and lifting motion and closing when
the side wings are on their up stroke
to maintain an elevation acquired by the
side wings during their downward
stroke"

London sparrows.

One hardly looks for natural history
lessons in the streets of London. but
the observer need never despair OF
lighting upon something of interest.
even though the subject be SO common
being as the London sparrow. The
other day one Of these pert little birds
was fluttering excitedly outside gro
GERS window, keeping himself sus-
pended just without the glass as long
as he could. After moments rest in
the gutter he returned again, and this
time there was no mistaking the object
of his excitement. He was yainly str.y-
ing to get at some bottled green peas
in the forefront of the window. In
the country all sorts of devices are re-
sorted to for the purpose of getting rid
Of sparrows, where they bear a very
bad name for their destructive procliv-
tiles, and many q London gardener
would cheerfully heave half a brick
at his visitors II there were the slight
est chance Ct his hitting them. Can it
be that this sparrow's wits, sharpened
by the chase OF his enemies, are I'M
dergoing an educative process whereby
he is qualifying for that advanced
stage of civilization marked by a pref
erence for separed food over the
raw products Of the arth?-London

Joan Of Arc.

Domremy, on a railway branch but
six miles away, lies in beautiful val
ley of the foothills of the Vosges
mountains, in French-Lorraine. The
village has changed but little since the
time of the heroic maid. The two
story stone cottage where she was born
still stands beside the very church in
which she worshipped SO devoutly.
- Until its recent purchase by
the government. this cottage had been
owned by the descendants of Joan ever
since her day. Some years ago titled
Englishman offered its present repre-
sentative very large sum for the
place, but, poor az he was. and needing
the money sorely, the indignant owner
refused to pass this memorable spot
into the possession Of one of the coun-
try's former enemies. The national
government learning of this patriotic
refusal bestowed upon him the cross of
the Legion of Honor, and appointed
him chief forester Of that department

FASCINATION OF MOTORING.
It Makes Poetry Of World Through
which 1t So WOndrously
Bears Us.

The chief charm OF the motor-car Il
not that it reduces distance by measure
Of time, but that it brings far-on places OF
refreshment near. and that there Is q con-
slant presence of man and his works on
the only ways possible to its progress,
says London Outlook. He must be q dull
fellow whose Imagination does not sing
In tune with the throbbiag OF the ma
chine before the bride Is taken from the
power and the thing leaps forward on
its way 1t is not fancy but sober TACT
which represents that power as por-
ton of the immortal forces OF nature
Gagged unwillinEly. The traveller In the
car Of an electric motor sits upon piece
of Thunderstorm He rides upon boxed
up bit of eternity. It does not bear him
forward obediently as does horse; 1t
carries him with the same callousness "a
1t rives an oak or strikes the top from
church steeple. Not one man in ten knows
how it was coaxed to be his servant. and
no mortal alive knows why it can be 80
coaxed.
II he be eager for the Joy OF mere speed
he may in one hour compass distance
which century ago would have been a
good days work by coach. At such a
rate If much escapes him yet a good deal
comes to him. The road lies low between
curving slopes the contour of the heights
change so rapidly as to seem to slide and
subside into one another. At slower
rate of progression, yet faster and more
steadily than any horse, we have time
to note particularities. We seem for
ever leaving things behind. Houses with
faces at the windows pass us as in fare
we'll We look on a world of glimpses
where everything Is laden with thought.
and our brain Is as sinematograph OF
sentiments pictured in glimmering
flashes. More slowly still, as sedately as
the most rural policeman could desire,
the world changes into place of scenes
that approach Every turn OF the road
is q temptation to fancy. The smell Of
the ways!de herbs hangs about US.
School children hustle into the hedge
rows to let US pass. We have time to
wave hand and be answered.
There are 20 evils to allege against .
motor car, some essential. others acci-
dental. A horse is incorrigible; motor
car is susceptible of Improvement. Yet
had it 20 more faults 1t would still remain
the highest expression of mechanical
man. In itself a marvellous poem, it
makes poetry of the world through which
It DO wondrously bears us.

A SUCCESSFUL PLANT.
The Dandelfon Takes Root and Flour
ishes Under Most Disadvanta-
ge0us Conditions.

Perhaps none of our plants is more
common or more familiar than the
dandelion, and certainly none is more
wonderful. First of all, it is not ma
tive, but was introduced from Europe,
whence have come many of our worst
weeds, fitted by centuries of strug-
gle in cultivated fields to overcome the
native plants of continent where cul-
tivation had been practically I'M
known, and where natives had had no
opportunity Of adapting themselves to
the conditions of civilized agriculture,
says Harper's Magazine.
One of the dandelion's strongest
points is the ability to obtain nourish-
ment under strong competition and in
unfavorable situations. A deep, strong,
perennial tap root draws all available
nourishment and moisture from the
surface and subsoil, stores nourishment
during the winter, and enables the plant
to start far and away ahead of the most
Of its competitors. The dandelion bios
som is one Of the very first to appear
in the fields and parks OF New York
city. This same tap root is exceedingly
bitter, which very likely protects it
from destruction by moles and other
animals. At least do not remember
having seen root that had been dis
turbed by animals OF any kind.
But only small portion of its food
comes from the soil. Air and sun
shine are just as necessary, for the air
is food and the sunshine Is digestion
for our vegetable neighbors. Note the
shape Of the leaves; narrow at base and
widening to the outer end, they form a
dense rosette that not only gets for the
dandelion all the air and sunshine COM
ing its way, but smothers all but the
most sturdy competitors. Here lies
the secret of the dandelion's presence in
lawns and walks and open waste places.
In lawns Che grass is kept low, so that
it cannot overtop and shade the dande-
lion, while its own leaves lie SO low
and close that they are little hurt By
the mower, and can smother the grass
underneath.
