Phones to friend, and then goes out

And 1 go home and say to maw-'.Gee

I hate to work wish I was the Boss!"
But my, when things go wrong! May
be a strike,
Or prices down, or some bank goes
and busts,-
Then amt he Johnny-on-the-spot at

Then he don't take no time to read the

Nor eat no lunch, but keeps US all

Then he shoots letters at the girl till

Even old Chief Clerk hustle; you know

And newly, I'm creased lightning

BEST MARKsMAN.

Lord Walsingham enjoys the reputa-
ito of being the finest shot in Britain.
He probably is the only man in the
world whose aim is so accurate that he
is able to shoot wasps on the wing.
This requires a marvellous eye and the
steadiest of hands. To practice on
these pests and other small insects he
had a miniature rifle specially con-
structed. He holds the record for an
unsurpassed grouse bag. After shoot
ing sigle-handed for fifteen hours he
had accounted for 1910 grouse. On an
other occasion, with HOO cartridges, he
accounted for S42 birds, an amazingly
high average. He is also an accom-
plished writer. one of the finest ento.
mologists of the day, a fellow of many
learned societies and owner of the
finest collections OF moths and butter
flies in the world.

Retiring Saloon Keeper Talks
About Disreputable Cafe
Joints.

Editor Advertiser: Col. McCarth,
was quite right when he said, SOM
time ago, that Jap and Chinese saloon
keepers were retailing some brands O
at wholesale. The question is, how
could they do this and make it pay
This is very easily done by the un-
scrupulous saloon man. The public
hasn't forgotten how certain individ-
ual advertised through the mail offer
ing to sell his secret-how to make
whisky for SOC. a gallon. This kind OF
mixture put into bottles bearing labels
of the best staple goods brings the
profit.
It's right and just that the square,
upright liquor dealer be protected, as
well as the general public, from the
vampire who has crept into the saloon
business. Every one of their low tricks
should be exposed.
Here is another: A certain saloon in
this community has paid lunas over
large gangs ten and fifteen per cent of
the takings to steer men to his saloon.
He actually went round peddling his
drinking force to the highest bidder.
Under these circumstances 1t was
quite natural for him to employ good,
strong drinkers. Is it any wonder the
families of these knights of the grog
found themselves shy of fish and poi
Saturday nights?
I don't claim to be a shining light |
or a reformer, but 1 never kept a |
house OF prostitution disguised as a |
saloon or cafe. That kind of place has
put me out of business, or will in an
ether week. No honest saloon can COM
pete with a low-class saloon cafe. The
sandwich meal is a snare and delusion.
The writer knows of some OF this kind
OF places where girls of tender age
were hired to stay in these places to
draw men to them. And they did draw.
The writer knows of one place in par
ticular where, when transport would
come in and his place was full of
soldiers, the proprietor would rush off
like mad to scare up some danes of
the underworld to act as cappers and i,
hold the drinking crowd. And although
some were of very tender age Q3 and
f4J, they We're pastmasters in the art /
Between their willy charms, squawking
and a drunken female or
ehestra, the crowd would be kept until
most of their cash had changed hands
These may look highly colored, but
they are facts just the same. Is it any
wonder the better element wants

Instinct In Plants.

Climbing plants have two opposing
methods of describing spiral growth.
The plants that turn to the right in
the northern hemisphere reverse this
trend in the southern hemisphere, and
therefore, for the sake Of consistency,
1t may be preferable to describe the
two kinds Of spiral tendency as re
specuvely "clockwise" and Counter
clockwise," which latter can be short
ened to "counterwise." The honey
suckle and the hop turn "clockwise,"
while the convolvulus and the scarlet
runner bean Irvine "counterwise." EX-
periments made by growing scarlet run
ner beans in Opaque cylinders, to dis
cover whether the deviation of the
twist was innate or merely from the
direction of the light, disclosed the
fact that the plant possesses an inclina-
ton resembling the instinct of animals,
Of proceeding in given direction, and
resents any attempt to force 1t other

INDGRSE AMERICAN PEACE PLANS
Hague Conference Will Adopt Pro
posal for Permanent Arbitration.

The Hague, July 25.-Thus far the
United States has contributed more
than any other country to the success
of the peace conference. AS was eX-
pected, the American proposal for the
collection of contractural debts will be
adopted almost unanimously on July
81, only few countries making reser-
vations, while the proposition regard
ing the permanency OF the arbitration
court, the most important step of the
conference, also will be accepted, with
amendments, TO which, however, the
American delegates will offer no OBJ
jections.
Another American proposition, that
relating to general arbitration, is
meeting with some opposition, which
is offered not against the principle
but because of the difficulty of carry
ing out the plans as proposed. The
British delegation, however, has re-
ceived instructions to support both
the permanent court and the general
arbitration propositions.
Still another American proposition
that relating to a permanent period
ical conference, will not be presented
until the end of the peace conference
in order to avoid interference with the
work already under discussion.

THE STORM IN HOLT COUNTY,.
Loss in Crops Is Estimated There at
About $4,000.

ApOut plouJOOOs
1t is said that destructive hail and
wind storm swept northern Holt coun-
ty clean of all kinds of crops and did
great damage to buildings and live
stock. A terrific downpour of rain fol
lowed the hail and swept the streams
of all kinds of bridges, which will en-
tail great expense upon the county
and the numerous townships for their
replacement. The storm started about
twenty-five miles north and about
eastward along the Eagle and Honey
creeks, covering a territory from the
Eagle to within about six miles north
of O'Neill, about fourteen miles wide.
When directly north the clouds split

tain the distance traversed in that di
rection, as all telephones in that sec
ton are out of order. The wind was
terrific and completely demolished the
grandstand on the fair grounds there
but did little damage to other build
ings in the city.
Crops in the country traversed by
the storm never looked better than
they did before the storm. Farmers
who then expected from fifty to seven
ty bushels of oats per acre, have since
been gazing upon fields in some Of
which the last vestige of the abundant
crop that was growing thereon hat
been removed by the flood of water
that followed the storm of hail. Corr
fields, in many of which the corn was
tasseling, have been cut down ant
hammered into the earth. 1t is looked
upon as the greatest calamity that evel
fell upon that county, the loss to grow
