SHERLOCK HOLMES AGAIN.
A New Series of Detective Sto
 ries in the Kansas City Star.

Conan Doyle's detective sto- ries, with the marvellous Sher- lock Holmes as their hero, have achieved the greatest success of recent years. Appreciating this fact, the publisher of Golfers Weekly, New York, induced Mir. Doyle to write a final series of the great detective's adventures. Repeated refusals were followed by increased inducements, and finally Mir. Doyle agreed to write thirteen stories for $45, 900, or about 60 cents a word. The en- tire correspondence was by ca ble.
 The amount paid by Golfers is the largest ever paid for such work and does not include the right to publish the stories in book form. By special arrange ment with Golfers these famous stories are being printed in the Kansas City Star, one story each week, beginning in the daily edition of Saturday, February II, and in the weekly Wednesday, February 15.
 None of the present popular features of the Star will be cut down or omitted to make room for this remarkable set of stories. Practically the contents of a Sl.5O book will be added to the con- tents of the Star in three months without any increase of the sub scription price, 10 cents a week for the daily Star, (morning, evening and Sunday, 13 complete papers week. and 25 cents a year for the weekly Star.

THE COTERIE'S GUEST DAY.


 St. Valentine day and guest day were intertwined into most charming afternoon Thursday when Mrs. w. A. Billingsley threw open her hospitable home to the members of the Musical Coterie that. they might invite their friends to enjoy a we'll rem dered program. The cold weather did not chill the interest of the many invited guests who re- sponded most heartily.
 The hostess spared no care in arranging for the comfort of the largecrowd present. The Knabe was placed at the folding doors of the front parlor and chairs so arranged that all present faced the performers.
 A beautifully arranged table was presided overb by Misses Lucy Brandenburg, Carrie Stevens and Noreene Kinman, who served hot chocolate, tea, sand tarts and waters, adding most en- joyable feature.
 The regular order of business was suspended with exception of roll call, to which all members responded with most beautifully chosen quotations appropriate to the day. In fact, the reporter needs must reach for his inkhorn and quill and reach still further into the sea of thought richly studded with tempting superla- tiYes to do, justice to this sue. cessfulsafternoon of music and social pleasures, at which time those in attendance were enter, taihed with the following IpEa, F 8;

ANCIENT
IRRIGATION
in AMERICA

''It has not been established that
irrigation in anything more than a
very rudimentary form was general
" practiced by the aboriginal inhapi
tants Of the arid sections of our
southwest prior to the Spanish inva.
sion. The practice Of impounding the
drainage Of small catchment baisins
in natural depressions and artificial
ponds by the construction Of dams Of
earth and stone were common wherever
the Pueblo mode Of life prevailed, but
in only few localities have remains
been found that point TO anything like
system Of irrigation. That well.
developed system existed in the Gila
drainage has been fully established.
"In the midst Of the appalling waste
(the Navajo dcsert), about ninety
miles northwest Of Jomez, is the IA.
nous Chaco canyon group Of ruins.
They extend for a distance Of about
thirty miles along the dry wash Of tho
Chaco and form the most imposing
group Of ruins in the Pueblo region.
Not all the largo ruins Of the group
are in the narrow valley Of the Cbaco
nor on tho mesas Immediately over

portant lie In the desert some miles
10 the south Of the Chaco, and e e.
about these that the ancient irrigation

DECLINE
OF RURAL
POPULATION

Twenty.one out Of the 81 counties
of New York had fewer inhabitants by
the census of 1890. These counties,
which include one half Of the area Of
the state, showed falling of in ten
years ranging from few hundreds Of
inhabitants in some small counties to
several thousands in some Of the larg.
or ones.
Essex county, in Northern New York
for instance, declined from $4,000 to
3O.7OO in the ten years. Wayne coun.
~, in western New York, famous for
apples and mint, declined from 49,.
200 TO 4S,600.
BY many persons this decline In pop
ulation was attributed 20 the contin-
uance between 1893 and 1897 Of per-
iod Of industrial hard times, the gen
eral effect Of which is to diminish pop.
ulation in rural or semirural districts.
In such times the demand for employ
ment being decreased and the proyi.
sion for public relief in farming coun-
ties being small, the larger cities are
sought by needy persons, and these
conditions are reflected in the ensuing
census.
Tho years between 1900 and 1905
having been marked by prosperity and
abundance throughout the state, Il
was supposed that the decline In popu.
latiou In interior counties would cease,
that some Of tho former loss would be
regained, and that, perhaps, improved
conditions would be reflected In the
census figures Of this year, which show
Tho entire population Of New York "a
bo more than 100000, an increase Of
II per cent compared with The census
Of avo years ago.
Instead Of this however, tho recent.
" completed state census shows that
81 Of tho 81 counties have fewer In.
habiiants than thoy had hvo years ago,
somo Of those which show the largest
decrease In Eve years arc Chemung,
which includes the city Of Elmira,
heretofore ono Of the largest manufae.
turing towns IN the southern tier, and
stubcn, ono of tho most fertile Of tho
farming counties In tho same region.
Tho falling on In chemung In Ave
years was e45s and In stubcn 1907
In i5 years tho population Of New
York has increased 81 per cent, yet
ono third Of tho counties have fewer
inhabitants than they had IS years ago

ABOUT THE

SYSTEM

The honor system as IL prevails in
southern colleges and universities to.
day is itself an evolution. Inaugurated
by Thomas jefferson in the founding Of
the University of Virginia in 1925, IL
was not until 1s42 that the system may
be said to have eliminated in the fol.
lowing resolution:
"Resolved, that in all future writ

animation, a certificate in the follow
ing words. I, A. b., DO hereby certify
on honor that have received no as
sistance during the time Of this ex-
animation from any source whatever,
