Traffic on the Columbia electric line was
delayed this morning for a short time about
s O'Clock because of trouble on one of the
cars. Oliver Bennett, who gave his age as
thirty-three years and his address as 42S1a
II street northwest, was arrested, charged
with assault. Joseph H. Adams, conductor
of the car, was the complainant.
1t is alleged that Bennett made complaint
to the conductor of the car regarding the
place where the car stopped and during the
trouble struck the conductor in the face
Two OF the latters teeth were loosened
When the sixth precinct station was
reached Bennett did not have $50 on him
to deposit as collateral and the police de-
tanned him. Friends in the government
printing office called later and said they
would arrange for his release

TWO PAT ILLUSTRATIONS.
In Which the True Source Of Physical
Strength Was Well
Set Forth.

Speaking of toads, with incidental ref
erence to other salatory animal life, re-
calls mot attributed to one of the JUS
tices of the supreme court, which has
been giving the Washington gossips q good
deal of amusement Of late, says the New
York Evening post. He was dining the
other evening with the family of a dis
tinguished ex-senator, who are noted for
their extravagant advocacy of the vege-
tartan diet Over the delicacies of the
table, which included pretty nearly every
form of edible plant life suited to the
season, conversation turned upon the IA
miliar theme; and the hostess, after try
ing in vain to convert her beef-reared
guest by arguments based on the chemical
constituents of various food, pleaded:
But surely, Mr.. Justice, you must ad-
tnit that vegetarianism means strength
and agility, when you remember that the
rabbit, which feeds wholly on vegetables,
can make such great leaps through the air
from hiding place to hiding place"
True, madam" answered the jurist,
gravely, but we must also remember that
the minute creature for which naturalists
claim the ability to jump more times its
own length than any other. belongs to
the class Of pure carnivora."

Road improvement Is Needed.

Road Improvement Is Needed.
Why any farmer IN the prairie states
should oppose bett&r roads is difficult
to explain. 1t probably is due to the
fact that ordinarily stone or hard
roads are meant when the good road
problem is discussed. These are too
expensive for localities that have to
go long distances for the material.
However, there are better means of
securing good roads-better drainage,
careful grading, narrowing as soon as
dry after every rain, and possibly N
some places the application of gravel,
slack and the like. 1t would seem
advisable for every community to con-
slider this problem carefully. During
the past spring heavy rains made mary
prairie roads impossible for weeks.
Road improvement at slight cost
would have reduced this dif1culty

MADE VALUABLE BY INSECTS
swampy MEADOW in Lincolnshire.
England, Furnishes Curious
Source Of Revenue.

It would come as shock to many
an astute city property Spectator, who
knows the value of town lots to a frac-
ton, to learn that there are scattered
about this country, states London Tit
Bits, certain heaths, fields and planta-
lions that are, so far as the mere land
goes, worth but trifle, but that are
rendered the source of considerable
riches solely through insects.
All entomologists through the length
and breadth of the land recognize the
fact that some particular and very rare
butterfly or moth will recur again and
again in due season in one small planta-
ton of very few acres, and yet will
not be found in any other spot for 100
miles round, though vast fortune were
offered for single specimen. To such
a favored spot ardent entomologists
will flock from all parts of the king
dom, and will pay a fee to be allowed
to hunt for the insect itself or for its
caterpillar or chrysalis. In one case q
Lincolnshire farmer has realizeda small
fortune from dismal swampy meadow
surrounded by bikes and small willow
trees, for in this field specimens Of the
gorgeous "Camberwell Beauty" butter
fly have been found when they have
been almost wholly nonresident else
where.
Only lately some acres Of sedge were
Lurnt in the district known as Wick
ham Fen, and every entomologist in the
land is mourning the fact, for in this To-
cality insect specimens have been found
that were thought to have died out in
England. Were it not inadvisable to
give the name of the place exactly, the
writer could point out one small planta-
ton at the edge of a considerable forest
that, solely through the insects found
there, brings in to the owner an average
of s40O year. The actual value Of the
land is only a very few pounds.

DO NOT NEGLECT THING.
It's the Only Way in Which Thou
sands Of Acres Of Land Can Be
Improved Permanently.

The wonderful effect resulting from
system of tile drainage, as seen on
many farms, should be an incentive to
increasing interest in this work. That
there should be little Improvement of
this kind in a new and unimproved
country, where land is comparatively
cheap, is not surprising. 1t is not,
however, so easy to understand why
people are so slow to make such i'm
provements in the older sections of
the country where land is high.
That there is very large amount
of land in these older settled portions
of the country that would be greatly
improved by good system Of thing
there can be no question. A farmer
living in western New York, writing
to the Rural New Yorker, says:
Gwen here in western New York, re-
ferred to by many as the garden of
the state thousands of acres that are
not in proper condition are each year
plowed and planted to crops, nor can
they be expected to afford favorable
results unless nature in some un-
usual manner renders assistance. The
well-known excuse or objection to this
system of work made by far too many
is the expense to be incurred not only
for the tile itself, but for the labor re-
quired additional to that of the reg
ular farm labor"
But large part Of such drainage
work does not require highly skilled
and expensive labor for its perform
ance. The farmer and his regular help
can do it when they cannot work in
the fields.
In place where the fall is SO slight
and the work so difficult as to require
such help the improvement that will
result will many times pay for its
cost. On great many farms there are
manysdays throughout the season when
little profitable work is done and when
the time could be spent at such work
as tiling to very great advantage

It Is Thought That Counts.

It matters little whether or not the
soil of any section is very rich or only
moderately so. The success or failure
Of farming in that locality will depend
largely upon the farmers themselves.
Up-to-date men who are wide-awake,
well educated and willing to take advan-
tage Of every natural and artificial aid
will succeed and make money. Do not
be discouraged If your farm is not quite
as good as your neighbours. The chances
are you will do better than he unless he
be equally progressive. Nor will you
work any harder. It is brain, and not
muscle only, that counts.-Orange Judd
Farmer.
