National President OF the Woman's
Relief Corps:
] bring you the greetings of l50,
600 loyal women. Notwithstanding
tho rapid multiplicity of womens'
patriotic societies and similar organ
iaztions of women, taking the time
and thought of those who are reaching
out into wider fields Of duty, as
citizens of our great country, the
Woman's Relief Corps, auxiliary 10
the Grand Army Of the Republic,
continues steadily to the front. Not
only numerically, but in its perfect
business system and the variety and
scope Of its multiplied interests, It
stands as an exemplar Of what women
can accomplish when their zeal has
been crystallized into oomlete organ.

Fraternity is the corner stone of
our common ediaice, fraternity
which not only embraces the mem
bership of the Grand Army and the
Relief Corps, and those akin to them
by blood,or patriotic interest but a
fraternity which is girdling the earth,
since our constitutional requirements
are based upon the Declaration Of In

and are entitled to pursue unmolested
and unfettered, the course which Oui
common father ordained for them.
So that we are not only pledged tt
care for and defend those who offel
their lives and fortunes in time Of
national peril, but we must extend
as far as possible, those patriotic
teachings to every cline and country

cal support in their long and arduous
undertakings
The Woman's Relief Corps always
goes forth with the olive branch in
its hand, doing things that make for
peace; and in the movement for
national and international arbitration,
which the National Council Of Women
has taken up, the Woman's Relief
Corps has a vital interest We have
well established system Of patriotic
teaching, which has been engraftod
upon tens Of thousands Of schools OF
this country. Not only the national
organization, but the state depart
ments, as well rs the subordinate
corps in our towns, have their pariotic
instructors. All are working IN ac'
cordance with plan passed down
from the national conventions, and In
conformanco with these plaus the
rights and duties of citizenship are in
culcated, together with respect for the
flag and a knowledge OF the principles
for which it stands. Upon this great
system, humane education has been
enrgafted, aud at the last national
convention, peace aud arbitration was
imposed upon tho attention Of every
Corps. The first great impetus to
internal arbitration was given by
Ulysses S. Grant, when, in the face OF
fierce opposition, lie submitted to q
court of arbitration the difficulties
between the United States and Great
Britain, growing out Of the Civil
war. Every Union veteran who hai
filled the presidential chair, or held
any high Office of trust and useful
ness in tho United States has beer
committed to similar policy. Like
our first president, George Washing
ton, they have held that war was th'
last dread appeal Of nations, ant
should never be rosorted 10 until al
influences for the removal Of obstaclo
which menance our liberties had beef
exhausted. Thus peace and arbitra
tion is in direct line with the pa
triotic teaching inculcated by th'

This pest constantly demands the
attention of the fruit grower and no
doubt always will. II is so we'll es-
tablished in the orchards and wild
woods that the only assurance the
grower las to grow fruit, FREQ of the
pest, is to spray every year, 1t is
useless and childish to talk Of oxter-
mination, or that drastic legislation
enforced with vigor could accomplish
the desired determination. The
grower must be educated on the line
of self interest that it is dollars and
cents to him to grow fruit free of the
pest. That It is in his power to
spray annually and have clean fruit.
/ find the man who complains most
and demands that the commissioner
mako his neighbor spray do not
spray at all. He expects immunity
from the pest by his neighbors labor
and effort. This is wrong. The fact
must be accepted and acted upon that
If he would grow fruit free of scale
he must spray, without regard to
what his neighbor may do. The spray
pump is the implement that the sue
cessful grower uses industriously and
makes a success. The successful man
does not allow himself to drift, and
wait for his neighbor keeps doing
things.

and left scant allowance OF floor space
for standing room.
The people came with high antieipations
and found that, while press notices are
not always TO be taken seriously, the good
things said OF the Russell Dramatic COM
pany had their foundation in an honest
appreciation of a meritorious perform
ance.
The play is an English piece and tells
the pathetic story OF a struggling genius
who devotes his life TO discovering the Sc
cret of old Tetlow ware-a rare kind Of
pottery-using up ia his efforts time,
money AMI credit, and, when the last Is
gone, feeding the fires OF his furnaces with
his broken furniture.
In the character Of Cyrus Blenkarn, the
drOll old inventor, who can take no inter-
est in anything but his precious expert
ments and whose despair is tragic at the
threatened destruction OF his labor for the
lack Of little money TO buy fuel for his
firing. Louis ]. Russell has a role that
would almost seem 10 have been created
expressly for him. In his makeup he
represented perfectly the man aged by
toll vet with the energy of youth for his
favorite task. He moved with the stiffness
OF the old laborer and his voice even was
attuned 10 the appearance he assumed.
Randolph has never seen better acting
than his Interpretation of this role in
which be fairly made the spectators forget
that he was not indeed Cyrus Blenkarn,
who stirred them to laughter one minute
with a curt phrase that disclosed so much
shrewd homely insight, and in the next
touched their sensibilities By pitiable en-
deavors to overcome the tremendous odds
against him.
Miss EloIse Elliston as Mary Blenkarn
has also a tragic part which she plays with
rare ability and an entire absence OF cheap
emotionalism. She strikes an incODgru-
Gus note, however, for the sweet and love-
~ heroine she creates in that role could
never descend to the depths experienced
by the misguided Mary.
The gravity OF the piece as a whole is re-
lieved BY the ridiculous lovemaking OF the
cute little soubrette, Miss Dorothea VOL
bert as Nancy Blenkarn, and William
WoIbert as Jesse pegg. The latter played
the honest, infatuated boy to the life and
conyulsed the house with his wild extrav-
agances delivered with the utmost serious
ness.

fed manufacturer, Joseph Chandler, to

characters In an excellent cast.
The scenery is carried by the company
and in one scene depicts the pottery fur
naces in full operation, with the light Of
the blaze dancing on the walls as the doors

tionally well, and beguiled the wait be-

Do Deer Shed Their Horns 2

Spirited arguments have been held
lately by local disputants as to whether
deer shed their horns annually or the
branching antlers are the continuous
growth OF years. The negative and
affirmative sides have figuratively speak
ing. .locked horns" over the question,
presenting their respective views with
great ability but still with unconvincing
eloquence to the opposing orators.
Patrick Connolly, who for three or four
winters, has been employed in deer park
in the Adirondacks, states that the ami
mails lose their horns every year between
February and May, the time varying
according to a late or early season, and
this statement is borne out by an encyelo-
pedia article which says
'srhe horns of the bucks are solid and
deciduous, /. e., fail OF annually and are re-
newed with increase OF size and breadth OF
palmation, and number OF branches,
according to the kind, until the animal
has reached old age, when the size OF the
horns begins to diminish on each annual
renewal. This renewal takes place just in
time for the rutting season, when they are
much used in fierce combats.
The horn Of the deer is a continuation
OF bone from the outer table Of the skull
and is at first clothed with a velvet like
covering, which, however is soon rubbed

or rocks-leaving the horn hard and solid
with traces OF the course of the many
vessels which were employed in its pro-
duction. The growth OF the horn is very
rapid.
s'when the old horn has been cast,
there is wound which bleeds little, but
Is soon skinned over with a fine film, and
the new horn almost Immediately begins
to sprout. Cast horns are very rarely
found in deer forests, circumstance that
has never been quite satisfactorily
accounted for.
The growth OF the horn is attended
with much heat, and the blood vessels
which supply the head enlarge in size.
The last part OF the process is the forma-
ton OF a rough circle OF bony tubercles at
the base of the horn, bearing some pro-
portion TO its size and the age OF the ami
NAL. The broad plantation OF the horns
OF species inhRbiting the coolest cli-
mates has been supposed to be intended
for turning over the snow in search OF
food.
Hunters declare that the cast horns are
trampled to pieces by the bucks and,
being ready to decompose, are soon re-
solved to earth and every trace destroyed,
