which they are sure to admire There

man Hearts" for half a dozen
/ dramas
Each of its leading characters
combines enough traits to equip Il
whole community of people. Yet its
intricate, ramifylng interests are
pieced and dovetalled together with
extraordinary technical skill They
are all plausible and they work out
logically In the end.
The scenes are laid in the hills OF
Arkansas, and the story hinges
around the lives of tom Logan" and
his wife "Jeannette,' woman. who
reared In the city, finds life in
small country village irksome. She
longs TO get away, and after a stormy
scene with her husband in which she
taunts him with his inability to sup

siders herself entitled. she prepare to
leave him. At this juncture. an

The Instinct That Leads the Ostrich
to Protect Its Eggs.
The nature students-everybody is a

to Guido one another.
Eagles when the sun is overhot
shade their young with outspread
wings" said the first. con August aft
ernoons 1 have seen a mother eagle
stand patiently two full hours, her left
wing spread like an umbrella, while in
its cool shade her nestlings slept"
Squirrels" said the second, "can
tell whether nut is good or bad with
out opening it. A chestnut, a walnut,
a shellbark, they lift it in their little
paws, hold it to their faces a moment,
then If it is bad cast it aside How do
they tell? By the weight by the
sound? 1 incline to think they do it
by the smell"
"Ostriches never SIT" said the third
"They lay their eggs on the pale Sa-
haran sands, and the sun does the rest
But before the ostriches depart from
their eggs they place on the top of
each a pinch of sand, for they know
that the germ will mount to the top
and that the suns heat would kill the
germ were it not protected"

EXCESSIVE LICENSE TAX PROPOSED
Senator MCMiChaeI to Introduce Bill

EXCESSIVE LICENSE TAX PROPOSED

A bill looking to the suppression of
all secret societies among negroes,
which, he declares, are the rock toun-
dations of the negro problem, will be
introduced at the coming session of the
legislature by e. III. McMichael, of
Buena Vista, representative from Mar
ion county and candidate for the office
of speaker pro tenn. of the house. Ac-
cording to Mr.. McMichaeI, these soci-
cites are the fountain heads of the null
titude of difficulties caused by negro
help in the farming districts. Mr.. Nc
Michael plans to rid Georgia of these
societies by levying tax of not less
than $40, 900 on all secret orders in the
state. Such law, he declares, would
in no way effect the Masons, Knights
of Pythias or other such reputable as
sociations, but would etfectually root
out the last one of the negro societies.
