SUPPORT WIVES
WORK ROCKPILE

1t is probable that within a few
days. says the Portland Telegram, the
recent session law which provides the
"rockpile" at $3.50 a day for hus-
bands who refuse to support their
wives and children will be tested by
the county court, which is now au-
thorized, upon conviction Of men so
accused, to pay to their families the
wages earned by them by labor on
the county roads or other public work.
F. Buchtel, clerk of the county board
of relief. has been detailed by the
county court to investigate the cases
Of several men charged with nonsup-
port.
Provisions OF the new act empower
the county court to have joint juris-
diction with the circuit court and the
Juvenile court in furnishing men who
fail or refuse to support their wives
and children. Under this authority
the county court has taken the militia
tive step towards apprehending men
who have been reported for failure to
provide. -
The new law makes husbands
failure to support wife and children a
misdemeanor. punishable by inprison-
ment in the county jail for not less
than 80 days nor more than year.
1t also provides that a person con-
victed of the offense may be compelled
to work upon the public roads or any
other work Of the county at the dis
erection Of the county court. For this
labor the prisoner is entitled to re-
ceive $3.50 day, which, also at the
discretion of the county court, may be
given to the prisoners family.
The final section OF the new law
permits the court either before trial
or after conviction. to compel the ac-
cused husband to pay a certain sum
weekly for a year to those dependent
on him. II this order is violated. the
court is empowered to enforce the
original sentence or, in case the man
has not been tried,s.to bring him to
trial

No Roof For Capitol.
officer

The State Capitol Commission has been in session this week, at which the report of the contractors was received. Beyond the setting of some necessary stone, the work on the build ing will soon be discontinued. Since the last meeting of the commissioners, construction has been going on, in an effort to finish in places where, if left long to the exposure of the weather, rapid disintegration would take place. Then the contractors will discontinue until either a special session of the legislature has relieved the situation or wait two years until the regular session of the legislature passes the appropriation that will be required to complete the building.

BEES MAKE FRUIT GROW.
Honey the Least of the Profits from
 Busy Insects.

Honey producing is only one of the missions of the bee. Indeed, for actual profit, the honey is but minor item
 Some years ago I moved to a small place up the Hudson river. l wanted bee farm and selected for that pur- pose a spot among apple, cherry ana plum trees, some of which had never borne fruit, others none for years past. My landlord told me I might cut down certain trees, as they were worthless, and he intended putting out some fine nursery stock.
 Being busy I did not cut the trees down. They blossomed freely and of course we paid no further heed to them than to break blooms by the armful when we wanted floral deco rations.
 The cherry trees were, much to the owners astonishment, loaded with very large, perfect fruit. He could not understand it; such a thing had not happened for years.
 Early in the autumn while waiting for swarm of bees to settle l ob- served a number of fine apples upon one of the smaller condemned trees. When the landlords attention was called to them he was completely mys- tified and called in his neighbors to see the wonder.
 Later we gathered from this tree nearly a barrel of the finest fall pip pins ever seen in that vicinity.
 No argument would convince the man that them pesky bees" had any thing to do with the yield of fruit on the place. He insisted that some sort of fertilizer must have been used.
 Since that time have demonstrated by scores of experiments that trees which had for many seasons borne lit tie good fruit, or possibly none at all, have been brought up to high stand ard of productiveness by the presence of bees. They carried the pollen, fer tilized the blossoms and bountiful harvest was the result.
 Regardless of the honey crop, every fruit grower should have few col onies of bees. If when the bloom sea son is past there is so little nectar in midseason flowers that the bees must be fed it is a decided economy to feed them, as in cases where a strict ac- count has been kept the cash value of orchard products alone has been doubled by their assistance.-Suburb- an Life.

Nicknames for War Vessels.

We had a ship called the Muriel, says the New York Press, and the sailors promptly dubbed her the Mer- ry Hell. The Georgia, as everyone knows, is the Jaw-Jaw. The Pennsyl- vania is the Billy Penn. The Kearsarge is the Cuss-Age. The Washington is Papa George, and, singularly enough, is commanded by John Adams. The Indiana is Red Annie. The Terror is the Tear Her. The Cleveland is Gro yer. The Des Moines is The Mine The Galveston is Shirtwaist-a clever hit The Amphitrite is the Ample Tight. The Solace is the One Ace.

The appellant is Frank Cook sey of Sevier county, who was found guilty of resisting arrest and fined $50. Cooksey refused, it is claimed, to pay small fee and the marshal was forced to go to him three times to bring him before justice of the peace, who had issued a warrant for him for resisting the summons of an officer

Mount Mckinley's Difficulties.

In mountain climbing the world over the climber usually arrives fresh and unfatigued at the base of the peak he wishes to storm, and as rule begins his ascent at high altitude. On Mount Mckinley, as described by a writer in Outing, it is the opposite. There are 25 miles of rugged foothills and glaciers to be crossed-with heavy packs-before the base of the mountain is reached, and then the climber is confronted by 18.000 feet of rock and ice.

No Fences in BeIuiunn.

In beautiful Belgium there are no fences Neither are there hedges, as in England The boundaries of the fields are raised up by fairly high earth banks, and the roads are cut out of them, as it were, so that when you are walking in the country you are down in sort of valley, with low green banks on either side of you.
 The things that are chiefly cultivat- ed in Belgium are the beet root, for making the cheaper kind of sugar, you know, and you can see field upon field of their reddygreen leaves stretching on either side of you as you walk along.
 Flax is also much grown over there. and in summer time the fields are such pretty sight when the pale blue flax blossoms are out in full bloom.
 Belgian asparagus is also renowned all over Europe. It has white instead of purple-green tips, like our home grown asparagus.

Test Would Be Easy.

In, the matter of the reported ln- tention of State Capitol Commission CT Alexander of Pine Bluff to carry the question of the legality of At torney General Kirby's opinion, which prohibits the further expendi- ture of the money in the State cap itol fund. to the Supreme Court for final disposition, it has been pointed out by a statehouse official that the course to pursue for the commission CT was simple and inexpensive. Any one of the commissioners could pre- sent his voucher for per diem to the State auditor for payment and upon his refusal, apply for a writ of man damus to compel payment in the Cir cult Court. In the event that the question was decided adversely for the commissioner, the case could be carried to the Supreme Court on an appeal. In a matter of this kind, where the public is so generally con- cerned, it Is very probable that the suit would be advanced peremptorlly on the calendar and be heard at once. The expense would not be greater than $25 for all the legal for malities necessary to carry 1t to the Supreme Court.

County Collectors Fees.

Attorney General Kirby recently rendered an opinion regarding the fees that county collectors are entitled to, in listing nonresident, or unknown property holders. There has been con- siderable controversy on the matter between the assessors in the State, and the county judges, the former claiming that they were entitled to $1 for every name of a nonresident that they listed, and the county judges assuming that the assessors were entitled to $1 for each township listed A definition of the law was requested of the attorney general by County Judge w. T. Martin of Ouachlta county, who, it is said, disputed the bill rendered by the assessor of the county. Attorney General Kirby addressed the following letter to Judge Martin, which is self-explanatory: Yours of the 11th inst. asking my opinion as to what fee should be allowed the assessor for making list of real property of unknown and non- resident owners, under section 695o, Kirby's Digest, is received. For each list of real property the owner or owners of which are unknown, or non- residents, one dollar, and all such lands in one township and range to be embraced or counted Gs one list. but if any unknown person or non- resident owns lands on more than one township he shall be allowed one dol lar for each township. Provided, no fee shall be allowed any assessor for listing any name or personal property unless said party or property, as the case may be, is in the county and subject to taxation" Section 696O Kirby's Digest The assessor is entit- led to one dollar. and no more, for assessing all lands of non-residents and unknown owners in each township where there are any of such lands.

Women Who Write at Home.

About one woman in 100 keeps up her music after marriage, although they may have passed years of their own time and spent many dollars be- longing to their fathers in study. The number that drops off in art is even greater, but writing has a fascination difficult to resist. A great deal of the writing done by women comes from homes, more or less comfortable and happy Much of it is the kind not easily duplicated and it would be non- sense to compel such women to forget their talents. Many a son has been fitted for his life work by the ability of his mother to earn money at a steady rate.

A Little Courtship Comedy.

A good-looking well-to-do bachelor of Manchester was being leased by some young women of his acquaint- ance for not being married He said: "I'll marry the one of you whom on secret vote you elect to be my wife.' There were nine women in the com pany. Each one went into corner and used great caution in preparing her ballot and disguised her handwrit- ing.
 The result was that there were nine votes cast, each receiving one. The man remains a bachelor, the friend ship is broken up, and the women, all mortal enemies, united in the one de- termination that they will not speak to the man again.-The Tatler.

Hollands Queen Domineerinq.

Hollands queen, Wilhelmina, has ex- alted notions of her royal authority. She is said to interfere in a most per sonal way with the conduct of Dutch foreign relations. She looks upon the Dutch colonies as, in some sort, the private appanages of the house of Orange. Her prodigious personal pop ularity with every class of her sub jects saves her from some of the con sequences of her unconstitutional ten denceS.

Let Artificial Limb Contract,

The Pension Board awarded the contract for the furnishing of artif- cial limbs for IA disabled Confederate pensioners to Harry Glenn, represent ing the Winkler Artificial Limb Com pany of St. Paul, Minn. The price of each limb delivered to it's recipient will be $100. MT. Glenn agreed to take the measurements and will guarantee the fit and wear of the limb. State Auditor Moore has been conducting the investigations and was empowered by his fellow members of the board to make the selections of any make of limb he say fit,. He secured cata- logues from practically all the artifi- cial limb manufacturers of the coun- try and decided upon the Winkler limb. MT. Glenn, who wears an artificial limb, gave a practical demonstration of his ability to move about at the meeting of the Pension Board. So well has he adapted himself to the artificial member that he can do nearly everything that he could do before he met with the accident that caused the amputation of his leg. In speaking Of the contract, State Auditor Moore said that while $100 for each limb is prob ably high price, he thought that the best should be secured. MT. Glenn will make visits to each of the pen sioners who are to receive limb and will measure them and send in the orders possibly next week.
