encountered All that day the bookmakers

odds Of to and sometimes to against
the chances Of Henry Of Navarro.
Now just before o'clock the Western
bookmaker. Hittiok, abandoned his betting
stand, and his place on the block was taken
by young man as lean and hungry as
Cassius. Every eye in the ring was on him
as he rolled up his shirt sleeves and turned
the face of his betting slate toward the

When Mr.. Jerome has something big or

apparently free from care and on good terms
with himself and everybody else. That is
a sign for the newspaper reporters who keep
track of the Jerome doings to watch out
Something is going to happen.
The day he announced that he was against
the domination Of political machines and
bosses and that he was a candidate foI
reelection as District Attorney if 1000
voters would renominate him was one Of
those days. It can easily be ina gined that
Mr.. Jerome was doing some serious think
ing. OF course he had thought over the
situation and talked it over with his adj
visers.
His mind was made up on what he was
going to do But was it the opportune
moment to take the step? What would be
tho consequences? Did it mean political
oblivion and retirement to private practise7
All these things and many moro were on
his mind. And what were the surface in
dications? A snatch Of q topical song, .
story and joke for every one in sight.
To his staff Mr.. Jerome is tho Chief

there is discipline. He probably gets more

harder to approach. There isn't much
red tape and it is easily cut. He knows
pretty much everything that is going on,

tine latter class being characterized by
the presence of much reserve energy

greater ability to use what they

of these principles, as they presuppose
an intimate knowledge on the part Of
the trainer with the temperaments Of
those under his charge, are difficult
and points out that his experiments
show that In the development of
strength mental factors are more nee

opinion that if the principles can be

should also be applicable to memory,

The Ricinus Communis Likely to Be

The observation made by Pro-
Starr of Chicago university that the
plant which bears the castor bean-the
ricinus communis, or palma Christi
is efficacious in driving away mos
quitoes, is by no means new, but is
valuable in reinforcing the influence
of one made some time ago. Several
years have passed since it was remark
ed, somewhere in one of the Southern
states, that where these plants grow
about house mosquitoes were always
absent In view Of the demonstrated
functions Of the mosquito in spreading
malaria and yellow fever, new value Is
given to all means for destroying taat
evil insect or keeping it at distance.
The castor bean plant should therefore
be valuable auxiliary to petroleum.
the latter exterminating the larvae and
tie former driving away the winged
insect. Possibly annointing with cas-
tor oil might also keep off the insect
and so prevent its attacks under cir
cumstances where it would be inprac-
ticable to carry the bean itself. The
castor bean plant has long been a COM
mon garden ornament, liked for its
rapid development to a considerable
height, its picturesque foliage and
large tropical-l0oking leaves, with
flowers that, in certain varieties, are
also showily handsome. With its be-
nefcent function clearly established it
will naturally gain favor rapidly, and

time. He had been spending the evening
at the home of A. w. King, and leaving
ahead of the other members of the party,
took short cut across the lawn in front
OF DIR. A. C. Hagerthy's house. He tripped
and fell heavily over a wire which had
been stretched along the lawn to protect
it. Other members of the party coming
along in few moments found him lying
unconscious. He was carried to his home,
where an examina. ion by his physician
showed that the Igaments of one leg were
badly cut and bruised, and the ligaments
above the knee injured. He is now able
to sit up, bet it will be some days before
he will be cut.

able that the corporation will begin in
the spring the work of remodeling the
old Methodist church into a lodge room
and hall. The general plan proposed is to
convert the basement into banquet hall,
with kitchen, the main floor into a hall,
with stage suitable for entertainments,
and then finish the building out with a
mansard roof, making third story in
which will be the lodge and ante-rooms.
It is estimated that the work will cost in
the neighborhood of 5000.
