Sunday and is evidently as good a
judge Of ball playing and umpirlng as
he is Of law. 81 like that fellow
Happy Jack Wilkinson's umpirlng, /"
he declared to Attorney ]. d. Moo
quot yesterday. He makes a game
go just like want court to go, and
he saves time, I'll tell you" No bet
ter compliment of Wilkinson's work
could be paid the little Jumps" He
is fair and square and rushed bust

game like Judge Reed does court Is
proof enough that he understands the
business. Wilkinson is by far the
best Jumps" Paducah fans have ever

Fish Out OF Water.

Through the state department
comes the startling information con
talned in consular report from
Germany that experiments carried
on in that country have at last pro-
duced a method by which FISH OF all
kinds can live for days outside of
their natural element. water. and
still live for an indefinite period.
Literally the watcrless fish has come
to pass.-an achievement OF great
commercial value since under the
present system of shipping live fish
in tanks of water. every shipment Is
from SO to 90 per cent water In
weight. The new method is due to
a recognition OF the fact that fish
brcathes much the same as human
being. its gills corresponding to our
lungs. and that for the gills to full
fll their function properly 1t is not
necessary for tho fish to be in water,
but only that its gills be wet. In
other words, while we breathe ury
oxygen the fish needs wet oxygen.
With this in mind the experimenters
naturally concluded that the only
thing necessary for the prolonged
out-of-water existence of fish was
the stopping OF evaporation from the
gills. This end they accomplished
by placing the fish in Theoretically
sealed boxes filled with air saturated
with water, into which saturated
oxygen was pumped. The expert
were complete success, and the
fish. when removed after five days.

covery. as seen as It is commercially

AMERICAN FLAG UPSIDE DOWN.

Washington, July 1G.-In spite OF
the discouraging reports to the agrl-
cultural department by its experts
last winter on the advance OF the
boil weevil. the department still con
tinues to fight vigorously against
this greatest menace OF southern
crops. Having found artificial means
OF attacking the pest OF little good
scrutiny has now been given to the
active agents furnished by nature.
As birds are the greatest destroyers
of insects. Mr.. Howell. of the. agri-
cultural department, has been buslly
engaged In field work. examining the
stomachs of various birds which feed
on insects. From his researches he
has determined that the orlole Is the
greatest enemy with the night hawk
a close second. and for this the agri-
cultural department lays great stress
on the importance to the south OF
protecting these two birds. thou
sands OF which are annually wan
tonly destroyed. Mr.. Howell rightly
holds that in case OF an insect SO de-
structlve as the boil weevii and so
incapable OF check. every natural
means OF stopping It's increase should
be used. Though the extent of the
services rendered by the birds may
seem Insignificant. in reality their
cumulative effort Is, he says, very
important

Our Waterways.


II you have a river In the improve
ment of which you are Interested on
account OF the cheaper transporta-
tlon and saving in freight which this
would bring about. now Is the time
TO get busy and make yourself heard,
according to Representative Rams
dell. chairman OF the executive COM
mittee OF the national rivers ana
harbors congress and member of the
house committee which deals with
such matters. That the subject Of
Increased appropriation for water
ways improvements. will be one OF
the most important at the next scs-
sion OF congress is apparent. for the
country Is beginning to realize that
no matter how low and equitable
railroad rates may become. water
transportation will always be cheap
er, and that II Is consequently high
time to take steps for the improve
ment OF our great inland system OF
rivers and lakes. whose commerce
now equals the entire international
commerce of the world. In spite of
this proof II receives less than three
per cent OF the country's income.
As proof of the saving which i'm
proved water transportation would
work. the case Is cited of a shipment
of IS 900 tons of coal made from
Plttsburg to New Orleans by water
at cost OF $4,000. as compared to-
$4,000. the cost by rail. No ship
per or consumer in the country is so
far removed from It's waterways as
not to be able to benefit from such a
saving as this. and the feeling isl
steadily growing that II we are to
compete successfully in the markets
OF the world In the future, we must
equip ourselves for the cheap water
transportation which is enjoyed
abroad

Let this ss10OO' Gravity
Washing Machine do
YOUR Washing Free.

An unseen power, rceLIed Gravity. helps this
washing machine.
BY Harvesting this power, We make it work for
you.Ycu sTaTE the washer By hand. then Gravity
power takes hold and does the hardest part.
And it makes this machine turn almost as easy as
a bicycle wheel does.
CRAFTY you know, is what makes stone roll
down hill.
This machine has inst been invented and we call
it the 'I9G1'' Gravity v asher.
There are stats on the inside bottom of the tub
These Stats act as paddles, to swing the water in
the same direction you reyOlve the tub.
YOu throw the sOiied clothes into the tub first.
Then you throw enough water over the clothes to
dQat them.
Eextyou put the heavy wooden cover On top ef the
clothes to anchor them. and to press them down.
This cover has Stats on its lower side to grip the
clothes and hold them from turning around when
the tub turns.
Now we are all ready for quick and easy washing.
You grasp the upright handle on the side of the
tub and, with it, you revOlYe the tub third way
round. then gravity pulls it the other way round.
The machine must have little help from you, at
every swing, but Gravity does practically all
the hard work
You can sit in rocking chair and do all that the
washer requires or you. chIId can run Ii easily

home from The PhiIioi1es.

I've been thinking, since our boy returned
TO US one morning,
ana IN spite of all doubts and fears
ne stood before our view,
"Hae was written by a friend of his, so
cneerlly and brightly,
NOT 70 ever trouble trouble till trouble
troubles you
The lad returned in safety, spite of chiIIs
and spite Of fever,
spite OF all the many dangers of the land
and Of the sea-
spite OF anything we dreaded, spite of
1aIth eytnced by neither;
hereafter let no trouble trouble you nor
trouble me-;
For when the skies are darkest and a
threatened storm surrounds US,
shutting out the glorious sunlight from
our nearer sighted view,
Then appears the ''siver lining that on
every cloud is shining;
50 never trouble trouble till trouble
troubles you.
That every back is fitted for the burden
that is given
Is saying trite, If ancient, while It's
always proven true,
And If the burdens grtevous, the good
Lord will arrange 1t
That the trouble will be gone before the
trouble troubles you.
Its shown that both our hopes and fears
are half anticipation,
For midnight terrors vanish with the
early morning dew,
And when the night Is darkest the dawn
is Just a-breaking;
Then don't ever trouble trouble till trou,
bic troubles yOu.

Washington society. The woman's
love, however, still went out to the
poor artist and her husband, who had
been Informed Of the peculiar state of
affairs, could do nothing to win his
Wife's affection All the gifts that
money could buy were showered upon
her, but to no purpose.
To his horror, one day several
months after their marriage -1e found
his wife lying dead in a room in their
house, the poor girl having died of a
broken heart Although deeply at
tached to his wife, he was struck with
admiration by her devotion to his rival,
and when she was buried in the family
lot in Rock Greek Cemetery, he COM
missioned ST. Gaudens, the sculptor, to
make bronze statue of heroic size,
depicting her as she was found, dead
and covered with her bathrobe.
The figure Of the woman is seated,
with the bathrobe drawn about her,
and the work is one of great strength.
The bronze is surrounded by marble
beautifully carved. In front of it is a
long marble seat, where one may adj
mire the work of art. No name marks
the spot, but at each corner of the lot
is a small marble block, about six
inches square, with the letter "a
carved in the top. The entire lot is
surrounded by a dense growth of pine
trees. SO that one not familiar with the
spot looks in vain for the figure.

Character OF England,s King.

The character of King Edward,

Many scandals were laid at his door;
many journalists and prominent writ

temptation of making him the theme
Of extrava CANT stories without f0un-
dation, or at best based only upon
hearsay evidence.
While making no pretence to be-
ing q saint, his morals We're neither
better nor worse than the majority Of
his countymen and 1t was precisely
that fact that endeared him to them.
The great influence that no other
Prince possessed, and which was pos
sessed by him in a superlative degree
was very largely due to his remarka-
Die tact.
Thanks more to him than to any
other, hard drinking, CO ~ousaIs, coarse
and prOfane language went out Of
fashion. He would tolerate in the
houses of respectable people no men
and women who had forfeit d their
right to remain within their pale,
and no woman of questionable ante
cedents could with his sanction con-
sort with ladies or with innocent

well read he was. It was generally
reported that his reading was very
limited, and yet the reverse was true

a rev OF the French authors were ac-
customed to send him their first

HIS faults, never grave Or serious,

prominence the many attractive
points of his character, and since his
accession to the throne even those
