discovered and thought it capital
chance for an easy breakfast. When
she had finished eating she dropped an
egg in the barrel and went away. This
process was continued until the buck
wheat was gone and the barrel was
full of eggs. About this time Clint
discovered the stolen nest and put a
head i'm the barrel. intending to send it
away. Being busy man Clint prompt
ly forgot to ship the barrel and the
matter passed from his mind until one
day n small army of chicks came
marching out of the stable. On in

picked a knot out of the head of the
barrel and had set on it and Matched
the 500 eggs. He says he has the hen
and the Darrell and will be glad to show
them to the public.

mile outside of Wells by a stock COM

cover an area of nearly two acres at

enormous was their catch of mackerel
that from the proceeds of the sale in

amount was realized after sustaining
a loss of three hundred barrels of
mackerel which escaped before they
could be taken from the net.

WHAT WE OWE TO INSECTS.
They Are Of the Greatest Benefit te
 Growing Flowers

Prof Darwin said that if i. had not been for insects we should never have had any more imposing or attractive flowers than those of the elm. the hop and the nettle. Lord Avebury con- pares the work of the insect to that of the florist. He considers that just as the florist has by selection produced the elegant blossoms of the garden, so the insects, by selecting the largest and brightest blossoms for fertiliza- ton. have produced the gay flowers of the field Prof. Plateau, of Ghent, has carried out a series of remarkable ex- periments on the ways of insects visit ing flowers. He considers that they are guided by scent rather than by color. and in the connection he is at variance with certain British natural ists. Whatever may be the attraction in flowers to insects-as yet, 1t ap- pears undefined-it Is certain that the latter visit freely all blossoms alike, making no distinction between the large, bright-colored ones and the less conspicuous blossoms like those of the entrants. the lime. the planetree. the nettie and the willow.

KING OF sAFE-sREAKERs.
Marvellous Delicacy of Hearing Pos
 sessed by Milner James.

"Milner James was the most artistic safe breaker in the business" said Lecocq the detective. He is dead now. He opened in his time over TOO safes without tools or gunpowder solely by working out the combination with his delicate and patient fingers.
 It took me year. he once said, to learn the trick of picking combina- tions. I studied all the locks there were and had three safes of different makes to practice on. The ear is the most important factor in my method and it must be held tight against the safe door on a line with the tumblers. When the knob of the lock is turned slowly and one of the tumblers reach es the notch corresponding to the first number of the combination the tum- bier will fall with little click. Care must be taken not to diSplace this tumbler. You keep on trying the knob back and forth gently till each of the tumblers drops. Then the door opens. Hardly one man in thousand has an ear delicate enough for this work and to be a success at it you've got to give up tobacco and alcohol.

GONE TO REST
WIDOW OF EX-PREsioENT OF
 coNFEDERAcY IS DEAD.
At the Aqe of Eighty She Lays life's Burden Down, Beloved by All
 the Southland.

New York.-Mrs. Jefferson Davis, widow of the president of the Confed- eracy. who had been i'll for week at the Hotel Majestic, In this city died at 1925 o'clock ?. m., October l6. Death was due to pneumonia, induced by a severe cold, which Mrs. Davis contracted upon her return from the Adirondacks. where she had spent the summer months.
 Although grave fears were felt from the first, Mrs. Davis wonderful vital ity. which had brought her through a similar attack year ago, gave hope of ultimate recovery until the night before her death, when a change for the worse was evident, and the at tending physicians announced that the end was near.
 It was then believed that Mrs. Da- wis could not survive the night, but she rallied slightly during the early hours of the morning. Shortly after : a. m, she had q sinking spell, and Rev. Nathan A. Seagle, rector Of St. Stephens Protestant Episcopal church. was hurriedly summoned to give religious comfort to the patient in her last moments of consciousness. The clergyman remained some time, and an hour later it was announced that Mrs. Davis had lapsed into a state of coma. The period of uncon. sciousness continued to the end.
 At the bedside when death came were Mrs. J. Addision Hayes of New. ark, N j., the only surviving daugh- ter of Mrs. Davis; Jefferson Davis Haynes, a grandson, who is a student at Princeton. Mrs. Charles r. Bate. son, niece Dr. and Mrs. Gustav Webb, the latter a granddaughter, and Dr. Robert II. Wylie, who, with Dr. Webb, cared for Mrs. Davis through out the less.
 J. A 9n Hayes, husband of Mrs. Davis ouIy living child, had been sum- moned from Colorado Springs, and was hurrying across the country when a message announcing Mrs. Davis death intercepted him.
 Mrs. Davis had for some years made her home in this city. where she had a wide circle of friends Throughout her illness solicitous inquiries regard ing her condition were continually made at her apartments.
 At the Majestic it was said that the body would be taken to Richmond, Va, for interment.
 Mrs Varina Howell (Jefferson) Day. is was born at Vicksburg, Miss, May [, 1926. She was the second wife of Jeff. erson Davis, to whom she was mar. ried at Natchez, February 26, 1S45. She was her husbands amanuensis when he wrote his Decline and Fall of the Confederate Government" and was the author of Jefferson Davis, d Memoir, by His wife.'

Wild Animals on the Ocean.

A scientist has made some interest ing observations as to the love of diff ferent wild animals for the sea. The polar bear, he says, is the only one that takes naturally to the sea- and is quite jolly when aboard ship. All others violently resent a trip on wa ter. The tiger suffers most of all. Horses are very bad sailors, and often perish on a voyage. Elephants do not like the sea.
