A Grain Of Musk.

It is said that grain Of musk will
diffuse a perceptible odor through a
room for more than twenty years. 1t
accomplishes this by filling the air
with particles Of its substance. but
so inconceivably minute are these par
tlcles that IL the musk be weighed at
the end of the twenty years no loss of
weight can be detected. That seems
incredible, doesn't 1t? And yet nature
gives us many equally striking exam
pies of what scientists call the divisi-
bility Of matter. A grain of copper dis
solved In nitric acid will give a blue
color to three pints of water. That
means that each separate particle of
water must contain part of the grain
Of copper. which is thus, it has been
estimated divided into about a hun
dred million parts. The spiders web is
so attenuated that enough of. it to so
around the earth would weigh only
about eight ounces. and yet this slen-
der thread is composed OF about a
thousand separate filaments.

GOOD ORDER IN THE STREETS

Wenatchees streets are quiet and
orderly.
Strangers coming here continually
remark this. They say in this way
Wenatchee is different from most
other western cities of its size.
Women and girls are safe on our
streets-they may occasionally over
hear Objectionable language-but
the WASHER is an Unknown Guam
tity.
Drunken rowdyism and carousing
is seldom seen. Occasionally, in the
still watches of the night, the racaus
yell of homeward bound Jag is
heard-but not often.
Every community confesses to a
few lawless spirits, of course, who
enthusiastically collide with police
authority, and wind up in the bas-
tile. And Wenatchee has some such.
But Home Made Crime is Scarce
Transients have done most of the
stealing.
OF the three men sentenced yester-
day, not one was resident of We
natchee. They were all floaters.
The nature of the countrys indus
try tends to lessen lawlessness.
Where Men Get Close to Nature
Dig in the Ground and Subsist on the
Fruits of the Soil, their Natures are
Tanned. They become Docile and
Peaceful. There is a greater measure
of consideration for the other fellow.
when Men Live Amid Quiet, Pastor
al Scenes.
II Wenatchee were a city of mills
and factories-of Strikes, Scabs and
Walking Delegates-and all the war
ring factions of caste and class that
make modern mill town-Well,
the Burden of this Song would be
Different.
This perfect peace would be frac-
tured-the Peerless Police would
have their work cut out for them.

When your victim" seats himself at

this:

PROGRESS OF AGRICCLTCRE

In his speech at rfttsburg, Pa, be-
fore the Americas club, Secretary
Wilson gave an admirable statement
of the splendid work of the agricul-
tural department, over which he has
presided with such marked success.
No other department of the govern
ment has rendered more valuable
service to the country, and in no
sphere of industrial America has
progress been more rapid than in the
sphere of agriculture. How much
Mr.. Wilson's department has con-
tributed to this progress is a matter
of common knowledge.
Now and then there may have
been some criticism of the depart
ment of agriculture. There has been
some criticism of Secretary Wilson.
notably during the packing house
scandals, and on account of the cot
ton report leakage. But in the main
the country will probably not be in
clined to quarrel with Mr.. Wilson's
administration of the department
over which he presides. His has been
record performance, and no strong
err or more convincing evidence of
the fact is needed than may be found
in the generally improved conditions
in the country.
Agriculture has reached higher
standard of development, and has
progressed more rapidly, perhaps. In
America than in any other country
of the world, fact due largely to
the scientific study of agricultural
problems by the department at
Washington, and extensive expert
mentation carried on by the state
and national governments. In all
these efforts the secretary of agri-
culture has played an important
part. and the records testify to the
records achieved. Steady increases
in the annual yield: improvements in
the quality of agricultural products;
the reclamation of arid areas, and
more satisfactory conditions general
lysin agriculture, amply support all
Mr.. Wilson says in behalf of the
work of his department, and in the
presence of such facts. special en-
phasis is not needed to give weight
to the secretary's claim-P-I.

To prepare the fluid with which you

Greece and Rome.

Every reader OF history is struck by
the similarity between the civilization
of Rome and that of Greece in ancient
times. but every one does not under
stand it. 1t is explained by the con-
slant intercourse between the two
countries after the subjugation Of
Greece by the Romans in the second
century B. G. 1t was from the Greeks
that the Romans got their knowledge
Of art, learning and philosophy and
their fanciful system Of mythology. In

Raleigh, N. C.. February 26.-The floor of tho House today was the scene of an encounter between Congressman elect R. N. Iiackett of the Eighth district. and Representative c. c. Bryant of Wilkes county. Hackett used his right hand effectively on MT. Bryant's ear and jaw MT. Bryant drew a long bladed pocket knife and made for Hackett but was intercepted and disarmed. He then attempted to strike Hacxett with an ink stand, and subsequently, with chair. but the blows fell short.
 When quiet was restored Bryant apol- ogi-ed for his offensive words that brought on the fracas.
 The fight took place while legisla- tivN committee was in session, a matter concerning Wilkes county being under consideration. Hackett had addressed the committee and when he closed Mr. Bry- alt, a member of the committed, re- ferrinss to Hackett's remarks. said that he resented the aspersion put upon the commissioners of his county Hackett re- piled that he had not aspersed the com missioners Bryant repeated the remark, and then Hackett struck him.

 It is as ever. Spring pennants are won on every typewriter. But things over the league do look good and 0 season of prosperity, and an era of much peace, with several beautiful white doves, Is promised.
 There is peace in the league, and this spells much. There is friendly rivalry and this indicates d season of snap and ginger, one in which the fan will be treated to good baseball, that which makes the hair slowly raise itself on the tip-top of the cranium, and the heart stop beating beneath it's covering. The fan sees pitchers battles galore, those in which a single spit-ball without the proper number of revolutions, will cause the sun to go down to rise no more. The approach of the season inspires the fan with as much soulful signing, as the spring poet affects when the grasses re- turn to the fields. An 'twere not so, the great sport would not be a paying in- vestment in this dear country of ours.

 MT c. E.

 Basketball Game.

Pratt City, February 26.-(Special.)- J. Eugene Lakey and a MT. Self, while walking down the Southern railroad track this morning about 135 o'clock. return ing from their work at Ensley were hor- rified to discover a mans leg at the Frisco station where the electric car line crosses the track, and just a little further away they saw pieces of flesh and clothing. Walking on up the track to where the Southern intersects the Frisco railroad, they found the mangled body of a white man. They immediately noti- fled Chief Hartsfield, who called Sam F'oleys ambulance, and had the body removed to his undertaking parlors.
 Letters were found on the person of the unfortunate man addressed to II. Singleton, and this probably led to the immediate identification of the body. Mr. Singleton's little daughter was called in and she recognized the features as being those of her uncle, George Henderson. G. H. Sherer also recognized the body as soon as he was called in to view it. Both legs were cut off below the knee, and the body crushed into pulp.
 Was a Foreman.
 George Henderson was employed as s foreman of Tennessee Coal and Iron construction gang, and was a well known man in and around Pratt City. He was a brother-in-law of H. Singleton, and leaves a wife and one child
 His wife was formerly Miss Alma Cor don of Greenwood, Miss, to which place the remains of her unfortunate husband will be shipped tomorrow morning at 6 o'clock
 As the tracks on which the body was found in used by three different railroads, it is a difficult matter to tell what train is responsible for his death, for it is not known just what time the accident oc- cured.
 He was known to have left Pratt Ci.S for Birmingham shortly after noon yes terday, and it is presumed that he re- turned on the last car last evening, and got off at the Frisco crossing, and in some manner was struck by passing freight train.

 As Baseball Man Returns Int0 His Olpn

The school boy is seen returning home with a bat swinging beneath his arm, and dirty glove encasing his left fist.
 The merchant in his show window, has clothed dummy in the togs, painted his face with a most determined, thoughtful expression, bent his body to a proper crouch, and placed a stick of willow in the grasp of his two hands, Surrounding this dummy, are gloves and balls and bats and masks. The season comes on apace. Baseball Is returning into it's own. and it takes no stretch of the imagina- tion to see the fanatics gathered about the field hear the cheers of the victors and the grumbles of the beaten, see the humiliated umpire half afraid to murmur his convictions. It is in the air, and that s all there's to it
