HIS BILL WOULD APPLY TO
WIFE BEATERS.

The Introduction of the whipping
post for wife heaters in the District OF
Columbia has been put up to Congress
by Robert Adams, Jr., a representative
from Philadelphia, who fathered
simila measure in the Pennsylvania
Legislature twenty-five years ago. He
is encouraged to revive it for applica-
ton in Washington by the recommen-
dation for corporal punishment of wife
beaters In the Presidents last message.
The bill provides that any male per-
son w;o shall be convicted of beating,
be whipped upon the back, the lashes
not to exceed 30. The marshal of the
District of Columbia shall WELD the
lash within the prison Enclosure in the
presence of a physician and the keeper
of the prison.
Adams says the value of the bill is
based upon the historical demonstra-
ton that the treatment of women by a
nation is one of the best tests of its
progress in civilization.
Whipping a brutal husband, he
claims, does away with the objection
to imprisonment-des of the
wife and family left without support.
He says that in Pennsylvania in 1904
there were 525 complaints of wife beat
ing received by officials. Hundreds
more are never reported. In nearly
every case the man was under the
influence of liquor
Confinement. in JAIL authorities say,
has no terror for brutal husbands.
1t has been urged that wives should
not inform on their husbands and ex-
pose them to the disgrace of being
whipped They would at least have the

I Tvs awful lonesome to our house
since Ma went away, and my Pa,
he don't want to say a word when
i ask him when she's coming back. He
just signs a great big sigh and tells
me, Sonny, don't Your Ma would
come right back here If she could, but
she can't. and there isn't any one left
'cept you and me, and we must stick
together And then he signs again and
we both feel so awful sorry inside of

And mornings when my Pa tries to
dress me we have such turble times
with buttons and the things at holds
my clothes on, and my Pa says but

just where every button went and
when she dressed me she'd kiss me in
the hollow Of my neck and snuggle me
up close and warm and say: Hearts

Butterfly Farms.

Most people, when they look at
magnificent cabinet of butterflies,
cleaning and glowing with a hundred
iridescent hues, think that each but
ter1y was caught by hand-caught,
after a chase of a mile or two, under
ia net or hat. AS a matter of fact,
butterflies are raised on little farms,
like chickens. There is such a steady
butterfly demand that it pays men to
raise them. These men, experts in the
employ of museums, as a rule, know
larvae as a chicken farmer knows
eggs, and they have no difficulty in
selling at a good profit all the butter
flies they grow. The stockroOm of q
butterfly farmer is a rare and beau
tiful sight. 1t Is room Of glass, filled
with sunshine, and in the brilliant
light hundreds of the loveliest butter
flies flutter and float. In the profound
silence their colors seem to sing, so
bright are they so splendid.

FORM ARMY OF EDUCATION.
10000 Men and $4,000 Women
Employed as Teachers.

1&O,OOO Men and 100000 Women
Employed as Teachers.
The army of education teachers in
the United States is made up of $780,
600 teachers, of whom 10000 are men
and 330,C women. The overwhelming
majority of the teachers are natives of
the United States, less than 10000 hay
ing been born abroad-one in fifteen
Most of the men teachers are between
the years of % and 80. The majority
of the women teachers are between Is
and %.
There are 1900 men teachers oyer
IS. There are less than 1900 women
teachers over 65. Three times as many
women as men teachers are put down
as age unknown
There are $1,000 colored teachers in
the United States, thus divided be-
tween the two sexes TOO men and
1890 women. There are 500 Iadian
teachers in the Indian schools of the
United States-240 men and 260 wom-
en-.
The average age of teachers in the
United States is higher than in Eng
land and lower than in Germany. The
proportion of very youthful teachers
is much greater in the country than in
the city districts.
The largest proportion of men teach
ers Is TO be found In West Virginia,
where they number so per cent of the
total. The largest proportion of wom-
en- is to be found in Vermont, where
they form 90 per cent of the whole
number. The standard of education Is
much higher in Vermont than it is in

States has Increased greatly in recent

More OF an unfathOmable mystery to-
day than when the child disappeared,
three and one-half years ago, Is the
case of the missing little Wilbur Clarke,
of Beverly, Mass. Since that fateful
June II, 1902, when the boy vanished
almost from beneath his parents eyes,
no tangible clew has been found. The
efforts of skilled detectives of the STATE
police department, as we'll as the aid
of local officers of all the surrounding
towns, and chlld-hunt made by half
the population of that part of Essex
County, the use of blood hounds and
the Offering of large rewards at tde
time-all proved unavailing.
As time has passed the case has only
become more inexplcable, more like the
famous kidnapping Of Charlie Ross a
generation ago.
A startling suspicion has gained
ground of late that the reason of this
profound mystery and the reason why
no rewards have brought any news of
the boy is that the kidnapper was a
wealthy summer resident who stole the
boy to adopt him, and that all the re-
sources of wealth, influence and great
family name have been used to sup
press any information about the case.
The kidnapping Of Wilbur Clarke at
the time became newspaper sensa-
ton even greater than the Charlie Ross
case. Pages upon pages of details about
it were telegraphed all over the coun-
try and the reports continued for
weeks. Yet all that was ever known

WE'LL KEEP THE LITTLE FARM.


Well, Jane, | guess we'll keep the place
We've lived here, YOU and /,
Upon this little farm so long,
Lets stay here till we die.
You know | thought I'd sell it once,
To Jones, or Deacon Brown,
And take the money we have saved
And buy house in town.
But when the buds begin to swell,
And grass begins to grow,
Somehow it doesn't seem to me
| ought to let it go.
love the crimson clover,
And the fields of waving corn
The quiet. balmy evening
And the fragrant, dewy morn;
The pink and snowy blossoms
Hanging on the apple trees;
The chirping of the crickets,
And the humming of the bees.
/ love the summers honey breath,
The blushing buds of May;
The teeming autumn, rich with fruit,
The scent of new-mown hay;
The noisy babble of the brook,
And laughter of the rill,
The lowing herds upon the heath,
And focks upon the hill.
And when | think of leaving all.
1t fills me with alarm;
SO. after all, ] guess it's best
TO keep the little farm.

little and have the bestest time, and
then my Ma would get something good
for breakfast and tell me the incest

MY Ma always had time to talk to
me and she said such funny things we

around the waist and snuggle her like
she Struggled me, and I'd hang onto
Pas hand and we'd all get to laughing

How ever, it would be we'll for at least one of the party. perhaps the host, to be prepared A writer in Black and White speaking of this after-dinner amusement, gives this advice:
 The wise man who goes in for fruit sculpture will prepare himself before hand for the task. and in his pocket Will Turk black and white-headed pins, some wooden matches and sharp pen- knife to cut what the fruit knife can not. Christmas crackers will furnish all kinds of odds and ends for the dec- oration of such little figures.
 All sorts of things may be made from the fruit ordinarily to be found on ta- ble at a dinner party, oranges pears and bananas lending themselves readi- ly to the figures to be fashioned. But we may as we'll know az the start, tho figures do not always turn out what was intended, not infrequently the fashioner finds he has on hand a regu- let us go in for folly and fun.
