Memphis al lIttIe Rock Today

Little Rock, Ark, June "A. Flushed from their three re- cent consecutive victories scored over the strong Atlanta club, Babb and his bunch of recon structed Memphii arrive in town this morning for three game series. The success of the Babes in the series against At lanta has given them a big lead on the pennant race, and inas- much as Little Rock is not yet satisfied to be fighting for a place or show, the engagement beginning this afternoon may have vital bearing on the ulti- mate outcome of the Southern League championship contest.
 Confident that the big collegian can take their measure even though such stars as Castleton, Teller and Spade failed to stop them, Manager Finn will send "Rube" Keith to the slab in the opener today Keith has not worked since Thursday and should be right. If he is, not many Little Rock runs will be necessary to win the game. Op- posed to Keith Babb will doubt less send Bills, the star of his staff, onto the mound.

VERSE WORTH READING.
A Woman's Way.

A WOmln'S way. Her lovers adored her, they asked and
 implored her
 To give them a look or a smile; Like little dogs trotted to tasks she
 allotted,
 And begging for notice the while. They fetched and they carried they
 lodged and they parried When snubs for reward did she give; They took it all meekly. gave in to her
 weakly,
 Just asking permission to live. Their worship she secuted, their love
 lightly fiouted
 And treated them all with disdain; She met vows with laughing. hearts
 anguish with chafiing, And took as just tribute their pain That they did adore her, the more
 seemed to bore her. She said they were idiots all, So little she priZed them that she soon
 despised them
 For being the slaves o< her thrall. At last came a wooer who scorned to
 pursue her;
 He ordered her just at his will Asserted his power, said he would al low" her
 His need of affection to fill They stared in amazement to see her abasement.
 For meekly she gave him his way, Just followed the faster when he would be master.
 And promised-with joy-to 'obey." Josh Wink.

Mix guano with the rose .rees water when it is in bloom.
 The budding of roses should be done in the early morning or at sun set.
 The best soil for roses Is two-thirds loam and one-third manure. This soil should be at least Is inches deep.
 Curled up leaves mean maggot is at work. He should be caught and killed at once, or he will kill the tree.
 A rose tree breathes through it's leaves. In dusty weather, therefore, the plant should be kept clean with frequent sprayings.

NATIONALIsTS LEAVE.

The chief secretary for Ireland, Mr..
Bitrell, announced in the British House
of Commons yesterday afternoon that the
government was prepared to accept some
but not all the amendments .of the House
of Lords to the Irish evicted tenants bill,
whereupou John Redmond, chairman of
the Irish parliamentary party, said he
declined to take any further part in the
discussion of the measure.
Mr.. Redmond accused the government
of failure to carry out its promises to the
Irish people, and said the bill as it now
stood provided for the compulsory re-
movel of tensnts who had taken farms
from evicted persons, and, therefore, wa'
a victory for Lard Canricarde, whose
eyicted tenants had for 20 years been
waiting at the roadside for an oppor-
tunity to return to their homes, but who
would no! be able to do 80 under the bill,
as amended by the House of Lords.
cit was evident" continued Mr. Red
mond. "that the Irish must close their
ranks and recommend strong, menac-
ing agitation as the only means of secur-
ing proper land legislation" The Irish
nsIionalists then left the House in body
and another committee Of the House oi
Commons was appointed to confer with
the House of Lords to see what could be
saved of the mutilated measure.

CALLS WIFE POKER QUEEN.

Branding his wife, Mrs. Ina Ward
Jaycox, as the poker queen of Chicago
Ebert E. Jsycox, prominent La
Sale street insurance broker, has ex.
posed the mad manners of a North
Side social set aud declared his wife
has turned his home into a gambling
hell. The expose is contained in the
answer to Mrs. Jsycox's bill for di'
vorce.
Averring that Mrs. Jaycox realizes
from $25 to $35 q week from the "kitty'
and on poker privileges which she rent;
out, he says: "It is her wish that
and the children shall have the house
that she may uninterruptedly proceed
with her poker parties, thus realizing
for herself the proceeds of game no
countenanced by law"
The set in which Mrs. Jsycox moves
is said to be poker mad. The bill
claims that the women have gradually
succumbed to the destinations Of th'
game until they are now professional
gamblers. About these pokerfests thl
folk in the fashionable world have mucl
to say today. Strange tales are told o

COMMISSIONERS OF REVENUE

A peremptory stop was put to The ap-
pointment of commissioners OF the rev.
enue for the State of Virginia late Sat
urdsy by the service of notice and by
petition being served at Culpeper upon
Judge D. A. Grimsley, of that judicial
circuit.
The petition praying for the writ OF
prohibition as against all the judges of
circuit courts in this State from making
the appointments of commissioners Of
the revenue in all counties OF their cir
cults will be presented to the full bench
of the State Supreme Court at its next
sitting at Staunton on the 10th day OF
September.
The last Legislature of Virginia,
being unable to do 30 by the State Con-
stitution, deprived the people of the
State of the right to elect BY popular
vote their commissioners of the revenue,
and actually placed the selection of them
in the hands of the circuit courts, which
has caused tumult of dissatisfaction all
over the State. The petition proceeds
upon the theory that this legislative act
is unconstitutional, in that it seeks to
diyest the people of the State of the
right to elect their commissioners of the
revenue and delegates.
There are also other grounds alleged
in the petition for the writ of prohi-
bition. The petition is thought to be
very strong, and if granted will, of
course, prohibit the judges Of circuits
from appointing the commissioners OF
revenue of the entire State, and those
officers will then be elected by the vote
of the people at the coming fall election.
1t is generally understood that the
judges OF the State are very much averse
to making these appointments OF COM
missioners of the revenue, and will be
glad if the petition for the writ of pro-
hibition, as prayed for, will be granted.

TO MAINTAIN FERTILITY.
his Biggest the Contend With

of Egypt, or other countries where
the irrigation water brings with it a
top dressing Of fertility, can maintain
their fertility under the methods OF
farming practiced by the grain grower
Of Illinois or Iowa.
We have two classes OF soil robbers:
The comparatively poor man who forty
years ago obtained an eighth or
quarter of the best land in Illinois, or
Iowa, skinned the cream OFT OF 1t,
to use his own expression, and went
farther west for other fields to rob.
He has been succeeded by the rich soil
robber, who has been able to buy a
half section or a section, move to
town, rent on shares, sell his grain off
the land, and live on the profits 1t
will take the latter longer to get to the
end of his tether, but the end is no
less certain.
What the farmers Of the West, both
landlords and tenants and men who
operate their own farms, must do is
to take up this question Of the malnte-
nance Of soil fertility from the very
bottom and fix upon methods Of farm
ing that will not only maintain fer
tility but increase it, We shall have
a good deal to say upon this question
during the next year, because we con-
slider it vital to the interests Of our
readers, which are our interests as
well.
1t is to be hoped that with all Our
agricultural colleges, farmers insti-
tutes, and agricultural department of
wonderful activity, an increased NUM-
Der Of agricultural papers together
with the teaching of agriculture in the
public schools, that sufficient interest
in this primal human occupation will
be created, that new generation not
of soil robbers but of soil builders
yill be developed. Fortunately the
Farmer of all farmers does not allow
any man by any method to so thor
oughly deplete the soil of it's fertility
that it cannot be restored by the adop-
ton Of proper methods Of farming If
it were not for this, the prospect for
the farmer one hundred years from
now would be dark indeed

Tricks of a Thieving Horse.

The question as to which is the
most intelligent, the horse or the dog,
has been often discussed, but never
settled. 1t has always seemed to us
that the evidence was stronger for the
dog than for the horse But the horse
which is the hero of the following story
exhibited almost human intelligence:
Suburban Life" gives the following
incident, which is vouched for by the
owner of the horse, but has not receiv-
ed the presidents official O. k:
A horse, a notorious jumper, one
that no fence could restrain, was at
one time, while the barn was being re-
paired, tied for the night under a shed.
In the morning the owner found him
just where he had left him, but with
broken halter. "Stupid old fellow,
didn't know he was loose" he exclaim-
ed, as he patted the animals neck.
Later in the day he had occasion to
cross the cornheld. Well toward the
middle Of the field was a place where
the horse had eaten his fill of roasting
ears, and had torn and trampled the
corn as though in an outburst of want
on mischief.
Tracks led to the fence which he had
scaled at a point fifty yards distant
from the direct line from the shed to
his chosen feeding ground He had
jumped into the regular pasture where
the Well-behaved horses were kept
thence to the cornhe1d. And he fol-
lowed his own tracks back between the
same rows to jump the fence at the
same place, and not leaf of corn was
bitten by the way
Did he not reason that if he returned
to his post and stood sleepi1y hanging
his head he would not be Suspected?
And, instead of going direct to the
cornfield, if he went through the pas
ture would not his owner "blame it on
the colts?' But a broken shoe betrav-
ed old Blucher, much, no doubt, to his
disgust.

on many farms where hay is standard
crop. All sorts Of powers are used to
work the bale F. a. Marsh, Of Tioga
County, Pa, thus describes his outfit:
The team is hitched to the sweep and
travels in a circle. Once around there
are two strokes of the beater; it is a
very fast and easy baler. One i'm
portant point is that it is run with
the wheels on and the tier stands up to
his work. 1t also has 4o-inch feed
hole and a positive return plunger
draw is easier on men and team than

II you are in the hay business, a
