In private letter 10 the Bulletin
Mr.. Wallace c. Dyer, sporting editor
of the Henderson Cleaner, says:
Henderson now has seventeen
good men under contract and the
conditions for successful season in
Henderson were never brighter. The
team will be managed by Pitcher
Harry Kubitz, the fans are enthusi-
astic and we will have a solid fnan-
cial business. For the first time in
history all the stock in the local
club is backed by Henderson business
men and they will see that the town
goes the full route. We are not
making any pennant boasts but we
hope to have a hustling first division
team and not a tail end first division
outfit, either.-Cairo Bulletin.

The Henderson Daily Journal says:
"a majority of cities have announced
their desire of wanting a short sched-
ule while Vincennes and Paducah
want as many as $50 games which Is
six more than the American League
will play this season. Princeton, Hop
kinsyille and Henderson favor 10
games, while Cairo would like TO
have 1870. over this number would
bankrupt the smaller cities. the pub
lie does not want too much and each
game played over 10 is played at a
great loss to the stockholders. Wal
lace Dyer and Jack Zlmbro. Jr,, will
represent Henderson at the meeting.

The Unexpected Guest.
From the Boston Transcript

from the Boston Transcript.
This Is the season of the unexpected
guest. and many a woman will be put into
confusion by the advent Of friends from
the country or those who have come up
from the seashore for day in response to
her easy invitation: Come in any day and
spend the afternoon with me. Vacation is
over. and I'd love to have you run In for
a day" Well. when the guest arrives the
servant has gone for the day. and it was
planned to give the children milk and rolls
and cold meat. But that will not do at all
for a guest. So the housewife goes into the
kitchen and cooks, and the guest is asked
to a more or less formal dinner, with the
best china on the table. The time she had
planned to spend with her guest has been
spent in the kitchen.
OF course the guest did not expect to put
her hostess to any trouble. and would have
been just as well, II not better. satisfied
with anything" but that is not the kind
OF a meal one likes to give guest. There
fore be you careful to always have enough
on hand to provide for the one more that
may come. The wise housewife Will be
ready to meet the emergency with dainty
repast which will make as little trouble for
herself possible. Preserves, ported ard
cold meats and eggs are the standby for
the luncheon emergency, and these should
always be on hand One who extends an
prepared to meet the consequences. On the
other hand, the thoughtful guest, in these
days of telephones and other methods OF
communication, will notify her friend of
her intended coming IL she Is going to be
with her long enough to have a meal.

WEATHER DIARY.
Kept by Man Who Has Discovered
Rules Governing Rainfall.

From the Pittsburg Gazette
A. T. Claim, who operates a 2oO-acre
farm northwest of Macon, has weather
and crop report dating back to 1910, at
which time it was started by his father.
When the old gentleman died the son found
tn, record and continued it. He claims
that it has demonstrated almost to a math-
ematical certainty that the seasons vary
regularly" to use a somewhat paradoxlcal
term and that farmer could safely oper-
ate with a third less capital by recording
the character of the seasons and thus be-
coming his own weather prophet.
According to this record or 10 years, SAID
Mr. Claim, the years ending with nve
have been rainy with but two exceptions.
What was known as the locust year oc-
CURED in 1855. 1t rained considerably In
April. but the summer was very dry. There
was a damp harvest in 1885, but no heavy
rains. Those years are the only exceptions
In this latitude. The year 1853 was cnar-
acterized by extensive floods and the same
was true of 1875. The harvest crop record
for this section during the half century
was made in 1895. This present year WIN
be remarkable for it's corn crop, though
possibly some will be drowned out on the
bottoms
1.-THE record shows the dry years have
been the even years, the only exception o.. De-
The years ending with two have been the
best for vegetables and corn They are
what I call the lazy farmers years. Ma
ture seems to be at her kfndest and but
little labor is needed to produce abundant
crops The years ending with four and six
have been difficult on account of great
deal of spring rains and cold weather.
1.-THE advantage OF a crop record Is that
It enables one to calculate ahead with
fair degree of certainty. For instance, he
will not make heavy purchases of stock, ex-
pecting to feed on corn raised In a year end
Ing with four or six: he will not risk
great acreage on river bottoms in the fives:
he will be careful to carry over supply OF
feed for the sevens, lest the drought cut
his crop short
.In my time the weather diary has saved
me thousands of dollars, and consider the
time spent In keeping 1t up as valuable as
any other work about the farm"

A short time ago one of Longmires ponies

MYSTERY OF TREE GROWTH.
Whence and How It Comes No Man
Can Tell,

From the Montgomery (AIa.) Advertiser.
One Of the most wonderful among the
many incomprehensfble mysteries OF earth
is tree growth. Everything connected with
life and growth, animal and vegetable Is
q mystery, for that matter, for all human
knowledge fails to penetrate the hidden
operations of nature. or to tell the why and
the how OF life. We see two plants grow
ing side by side, fed from the same sources
below and above the ground, so far as we
can determine. yet one produces a beautiful
rose and the other an ill-smelllng and ugly
opposite One tree produces a delicious
peach and another a sour crab, yet so far
as we can see the same elements sustain
both. We see and realize the difference. but
fail to understand It.
But there are some things about tree
growth, aside from leaves, flowers. or fruit.
that is deep a mystery as is anything
connected with animal life. An acorn, for
example, Is planted in the earth and In duo
time II sends down roots and sends up
tiny sprout. If not interfered with II con-
unues to grow and in the course OF many
years becomes a tree. During this time the
roots have been attracting moisture and
food from the earth and the trunk and
limbs have been obtaining something from
the air. Each year new layer OF wood
Is added, and SO 1t continues till a great
giant Of the forest Is the result.
The material for all this wood has been
obtained somehow and from some source,
but how 1t is done is the mystery. 1t may
be one of many great trees growing al
most against each other, and each has man
aged to absorb many cords OF wood from
some hidden recess of nature which man
cannot fathom We can search the earth
and the air with all our powers and with
all the instruments and appliances at our
command, but we will fail to detect the tree
germs.
Nor Is this all of the greatest mystery.
Two trees grow up side by side. fed from
the same source yet the wood OF one 10
the soft yellow poplar and the other hard
white hickory; one may be beautiful bird g
eye or curled maple and the other pitch
pine or oak. There is another mystery that
man cannot penetrate. Somewhere or some-
how the alchemy or chemistry or machine
cry of nature carries on Its tireless ana
ceaseless work. and the result Is before US:
That Is all man knows. and probably ali
he will ever know. on the subject All ma
ture is a mystery and the growth of treea
Is not the least.

The far-famed old Fountain Inn, on the
old Portage railroad, half a mile above the
"Foot-of- Eight" where such men an Pres
ident Martin Van Buren,. the distinguished
Hungarian patriot, Louis Kossuth. and
others made merry In the days before the
advent of steam sailroads, is the abode OF
the champion rattlesnake charmer Of Penn

The person who captures and fondles the
most venomous and vicious reptiles in the
country is Miss Mary Goldie, the twenty
year-old daughter Of Richard Goldie, owner
Of the old house, demure and modest 1T
tie farmers lass. Miss Goldie uses moth
ing but her bare hands in capturing her
dangerous quarry. but has never received

Many tales are told Of the prowess OF
this amateur charmer, and her captures
have run into many hundreds. Scoring

she saunters forth into the wooded hills
with nothing but a basket, and 1t is but
rarely that she comes back without num-
Der of the dangerous reptiles.
Although the vicinity Of Miss Goldle's
home was once noted for the large num-
Der of rattlers that infested the woods, the
young woman regretfully admits that now
she has to walk to Ktttanning Point before
she can find one Of her favorite pets. To
show how well she does her work, the old
fish pond at the inn, which two years ago
contained a large number of trout, has
scarcely one left. for, since she has rid the
district of rattlesnakes. the water snakes
have had full sway, and they have de-
stroyed the fish.
Miss Goldie does not use her charms on
the snakes merely for the sake OF possess
sion or the love OF adventure, but finds
ready market for her best specimens.
While she is gathering a collection of rat
tiers she frequently gives visitors at the
inn an exhibition Of her remarkable pow

ANSWERING LETTERS.
One Reason Why American Women
Are Less Prompt Than English.

From the New York Sun.
American women are away behind Eng
lish women in the matter Of prompt note
and letter writing says an American
woman who spends much of her time in
London. "A note should be answered at
once" says the English woman, and she
brings up her daughters to believe that
when they fail to live up to this rule they
are committing one of the most serious
crimes against etiquette.
when l began going to London 1 found
that even my writing rules, which 1 had
thought strict, were by no means up to the
English standard. 1t was then that found
out one great help toward punctilious cor
respondence-the English woman's method
of running her writing table.
ut is always perfectly stocked with writ
ing necessities. She provides for this table
with exactly the same precision that she
provides for any other department OF her
housekeeping. Just as she does not per-
NIT the kitchen cupboard to run out of eggs
or flour, SO does she not let her writing
table run out of paper, stamps. calendar,
blotting paper, ink. pens, postal cards and
paper wrappers.
There is every inducement for prompt
answering of notes and letters II all the
materials are at hand But most Ameri-
can women buy these materials spasmodi-
cally. They get fresh paper when they are
out of their supply. They buy new pens
when the ones they have refuse to work.
Stamps they get in little dribbles instead
Of keeping a big stamp box full Of them.
When the ink pot goes dry that is the time
for running out to buy little bottle of ink.
Very few are the women who keep IN stock
a great bottle of ink from which Ink stands

their contents lower just the least degree
