The Trinity legend of the shamrock
appears first in literature in 1721 in
Caleb Threke!d's "Synopsis Stirpium
Hibcrnicarllm." Under the heading Of
"Trifolium pratense Album occurs the
following passage: This plant is Worn
by the people in their hats on the 18th
day of March yearly, which is called
st. Patrick Day, it being a current ira
dition that by this three leaved grass
he emblematically set forth to them the
mystery of the Holy Trinity. However,
when they wet their Seamar-oge, they
often commit excess in liquor, which is
not right keeping of day to the
Lord, error generally leading to de-
bauchery."

The Anti-iniunctfOn Bill.

An official statement issued by Presi-
dent Samuel Gompers in defense Of the
anti-injunction bill now before con-
gress is being circulated throughout
the country by the American Fedora
ton of Labor The statement says in
part:
This proposition the Employers as
sociatiOn denounceS as anarchiStic. 1t
would legalize crime, they assert. and
exempt labor unions from the penalties
attached to rioting and disorderly con-
duct.
I'VE have not seen single intelh-
gent objection to the bill. 1nvective,
epitnets and Wild assertion take the
place Of argument. These professed
champions of liberty and Amercanism
do not know the meaning of the terms
they are so fond of using They de-
pend upon appeals to class bigotry and
class prejudice.
"The bill would change the old law
of conspiracy. That law should be
changes 1t is out of place in modern
Jurisprudence. There was a time when
agreements to ask higher wages and
agreements to cease Work-strike-wer
punished as criminal conspiracies.
Plutocratic employers would revive
those doctrines if they could. Labor
should not rely upon the discretion Of
the judges. 1t may fairly demand ex-
press legislation establishing the rights
Of association and agreements to do or
to refrain from doing things not pro-
hibited to individuals"

Where the Romans Excelled.

The Romans were not in want of
teachers or of models. for they had
the Egyptians and the Greeks, but
they never succeeded in creating an
art characteristic OF themselves. No
people perhaps ever betrayed less
originality in their productions in this
field, but they raised tie other ele-
ments of civilization to the highest
point. Their military organization as
sured theirs the domination Of the
world; their political and judicial insti-
tu.ions are still patterns for us, and
their literature inspired the centuries
that followed them.

Jesse Holdom issued an injunction
against the Central Labor union.
All criminal acts will, 1t is claimed

The
new YORK WORLD
THRICE-A-WEEK EDITION.
Read Wherever the English Language
il spoken.

The Thrlce-a-Week World was brilliant
success in the beginning and has been
steadily growing ever since. Time is the
test of all things, and has set its seal of ap-
proval on the Thrice-a- Week World, which
is widely circulated in every State and Ter
ritory of the Union, and wherever there are
people who can read our mother tongue.
This paper for the year 1908, will make
its news service, if possible, more exten-
sive than ever. All events of importance,
no matter where they happen, are reported
accurately and promptly.
The subscriber, for only one dollar year
gets three papers every week and more
news and general reading than most great
dailies can furnish at five or six times the
price.
The Thrice-a- Week World is absolutely
fair in its political news. Partisan bias is
never allowed to affect its news columns,
and Democrat and Republican alike can
obtain in its pages truthful accounts of all
the great political campaigns.
In addition to all the news, the Thrice-a-
Week World furnishes the best serial fiction.
elaborate market reports and other features
of interest.
The Thrice-a- Week Worlds regular sub
scriptiOn price is only $1.00 per year and
this pays for 156 papers. We offer this un-
equaled newspaper and The SMYRNA TIMES
together one year for $1.75. The regular
subscription price of the two papers is $500

Darwin says in 1.-The Formation of
Vegetable Mold:" "If a man had to
plug up small cylindrical hole with
such objects as leaves, petioles or
twigs he would drag or push them in
by their pointed ends, but if these OBJ
jects were very thin relatively to the
size of the hole he would probably in
sert some by their thicker or broader
end. The guide in his case would be
intelligence" He then goes on to
show by reports of actual experiments
that this is the method pursued by
earthworms. Not only do they adapt
| the leaves of the trees of their own
country to their needs, but the leaves
| of foreign trees are dealt with in q
similar way. The following words of
| Mr.. Darwin are remarkable: IF
worms are able to judge, either before
drawing or after having drawn an OBJ
| ject close to the mouths of their bur
rows, how best to drag it in, they
must acquire some notion Of its gen
eral shape. This they probably ac
quire by touching it in many places

they deserve to be called intelligent

BEAUTIFYING A STATE.
One Californian bought Beautiful
Birds and Let Them Loose In
Country Around Pasadena.

Whenever l see any Of these propa-
gandas for beautifying a city" said
Senator Perkins, Of California, the 9TH
er night, according to the New York
Times, Il always think OF the work
done to beautify the state Of California
by a citizen Of Altadena, which is hard
by Pasadena. The mans name Is An
drew McNally. and when he came to
California there were few birds at Alta
dena. and those few were hardly what
we would call beautiful. McNally made
up his mind that the land needed birds.
so he built him an aviary and imported
many hundreds Of his feathered friends.
Once a year he would open the doors Of
his aviary and let the young birds fly
whithersoever they would, and in a
short time the whole country was popu-
lated with feathered creatures Of every
variety Of hue and song His example
was followed by Joseph Grinnell and
Mrs. Grinnell both Of whom are ardent
ornithologists, so that now the country
around Pasadena is a garden spot for
birds Of beautiful plumage. Many Of the
birds that were imported came from
Japan and China. So you see there are
more ways than one Of beautifying a
tity or a state"

WORLDS FAIR STATUARY.
Made and Also Of what STAR
IL Composed.

The process Of creating the large
pieces OF statuary out Of staff is very
interesting" writes Katherine Louise
Smith. in Pearson's. After the sculp-
tor has sent his accepted model to the
fair, the work Of enlargement begins,
and one or several pieces, as occasion re-
Quires. are finished, each OF which is an
exact counterpart OF the model on an
enlarged scale.
Stan Is simply long fiber soaked in
plaster Of paris. mixed thin with water.
This hbsr. which is generally Mexican,
comes In bales Of 100 pounds, and on its
arrival In the rope stage is run through
machines TO loosen IT, Made with this
hemp fiber, staff can be sawed, hammered
and whitfield like wood. while various
forms can be made as effectively as with
plaster Of paris alone.
"A stan modeler proceeds exactly as
though his work was to be executed IN
Parian marble or enduring bronze, in
stead ofperishable plaster. A framework
Of wood or iron is first made, corre-
spending to the model which It Is In
tended TO copy. A huge pointer some
what like the pentsgraph used by art
students. Is used in obtaining the cor
rect enlargement, one point resting on
the model and the other dotting the en-
larged counterpart. Every inch Of the
statue in process Of making is thus ac-
curately measured.
THE man who executes this first pro-
cess in the formation Of stan slaps huge
handfuls OF wet stan on the wooden
framework, shaping It crudely with
thumb and fingers. and necessarily US
ing the huge pentagraph for measure
ments.
From the man at the pentagraph, the
shapeless image passes to the modeler.
II large piece is under construction, II
IS placed on a platform with rollers, that
the modeler may turn the figure easily
as he shapes the piece with stan, using
his hands to put on necessary additions,
smoothing rought places with HIS fin
gers and with spatula. and cutting wire
doing all, in fact, but the last refining
and smoothing processes. During re-
spites Of labor. while the figure is at
this stage, 1t is covered with a damp
cloth to keep II from cracking.
THE last process Is the work OF the
sculptor, who is an expert. He finishes
the staff replica like the smaller model
from which It is the enlarged counter
part, coating the staff with shellac and
adding refining touches until he is satis-
fed with IL"

SHOULDERS NOT ALIKE.
Taiiors often Called Upon To Cover
Defect of Nature Due Co Curva-
ture of spine.

It may be some satisfaction to the
average man who gets a misft TO know
that at least one Of his own shoulder
was partially to blame. He is the one
man OF thousand if il is not so.
Not one man I'm a thousand has two
shoulders which measure the same in
height" says Frank A. Rose. according
10 the New York Herald. "The varia-
ton to be noted by the tailor is from
the minimum Of an eighth Of an inch
TO the maximum Of four inches. There
are a good many men who have one
shoulder fully four inches out of line
with the other With the ordinary man
it is the right shoulder which slumps
but IL is all dependent upon whether
he be right or left handed. If right
handed it is the right shoulder that is
out Of line; If he is left handed it is the
left shoulder.
The physician will tell you that spinal
curvature is responsible for the varia-
tion. ! have never heard just what he
thinks causes the curvature. it has
seemed to me Il might be using one hand
more than the other"
With one shoulder a fraction Of an
inch lower than the other. the tailors
art may cover up the deft II the man be
sensitive TO #. But as a rule, the man
passes over the fact without comment

WHEN YOU SEE STARS.
ular Expression Concerning Re-
suit of Blow on Head.

The man who, when struck violent
ly on the head, says he saw stars
is not far from telling the truth, says
the New York Herald.
The fact is that there is a phosphor.
escent power in the eye which does
not attract a persons attention un.
der ordinary conditions, but which is
disturbed and reveals itself whenever
the head gets a sudden shock, and
sometimes even in the act Of sneez.
ing.
A blow on the head results in a
pressure Of the blood vessels upon the
retina, causing either total darkness
OF a faint blue light which floats be
fore the eyes, and it is in this faint
blue light the Imagination discerns
the thousands Of fantastic forms and
figures that by general acceptance are
termed stars. Hence, while the as
Economical display so frequently men
toned may be said TO be entirely o
creature Of the imagination, there Is
at least some foundation for the idea
The true nature Of the sensation Is
never very apparent, even to the vic
tim, for the simple reason that it IL
invariably experienced under circum
stances which render a searching in
Prospective investigation out Of the
question.

DOG HAD ENOUGH.
Tells Court How She Cured Him OF
Sucking Eggs-Bullet Good
Cure, Too.

w. II. Hughes, who lived in the
Goshen vicinity, says he was driving
along the public road several days age
reverenty singing a hymn tune. and
that when passing the residence OF
Scott Medley, Mrs. Fannie Medley, his
wife, came out on the front porch and
took a shot at him with a pistol, at
the same time hurting an opprobrious
epithet at him; but he kept on singing
and drove on. He accordingly had her
arrested and she was tried before Squire
Hunter.
Mrs. Medley denied shooting at
Hughes, but says she shot at a "yal-
Ter" dog that had been sucking eggs
all summer, says the Bowling Green
ky Times Journal.
She also stated that she had a good
dog once that sucked eggs. but she
broke him and did not kill him. Coun-
ty Attorney Thomas became interested
at once, for he had a bird dog which
may at some time contract the habit.
and he said to the witness:
Mrs. Medley, how did you break
your dog from sucking eggs?"
why" she said, q fixed up a couple
Of eggs with cayenne pepper and to-
bacco in EN- and made him eat 'em.
and he's had a distaste for eggs ever
since Mrs. Medley was dismissed.
