Judge De Bolt made an order Satur
day overruling the demurrer interposed
by Mr.. and Mrs. J. w. Cathcart to the
creditors bin fled against them by H.
G. MiddleaItch, trustee in bankruptcy
for the Herrick Carriage Co, sustain
ing, however, Catchart S objection that
the court in which Middleditch had re-
covered judgment was not definitely
named, he having referred merely to
the "Circuit Court of Hawaii in
stead of alleging the ''First Circuit
Court Middleditch was allowed to
supply this omission at the bar, and
the defendants were thereupon ordered
to answer in ten days.
This suit is brought by Middleditch,
as trustee for the Herrick Carriage Co.
to subject a house and lot in the College
Hills tract to the payment of a iudg-
ment which the Herrick Carriage Co.
recovered against John w. Cathcart
several years ago, it being alleged that
Mrs. Cathcart purchased the property
from Percy NJ. Pond on the install

the purchase were all made with John

LONG VACATION MAY
COME FOR THE STORK

| ITHACA, N. Y, November 25.-
"During the period from 1860 to 1900
the proportion of children to 1000
women of child-bearing age decreased
in the United States by 152, or an av-
erage of about 80 in each decade. If
we assume that the change will con-
tinue unchecked for a century and a
half in the direction in which it has
been in progress during the last 40
years there will be no children left. -
This startling statement came out
in the lecture on birth and birthrate
delivered by Prof. Walter F. Wilcox,
in the course on sanitary science in
Goodwin Smith Hall.
FLet me not be understood as pre-
dieting the continuance of this move
ment,' continued Prof. Wilcox, "but
often the best method of bringing
home to ourselves the vast sweep and
significance of the changes revealed by
statistics is to project them into the
future and see whittier they lead.
'The true reason for the fall in the
birthrate is that in modern times,
mainly within the last half century,
births and the biTthrate have come
under the control of human will and
choice in sense, and to degree
never before true.
''Our leading American authority,
DR.. John Shaw Billings, put it as fol-
lows:
% The most important factor in the
past in the change is the deliberate
and voluntary avoidance or prevention
on the part of a steadily increasing
number of married people who prefer
to have but few children. Before this
change began the birth of a child in
the vast majority of cases was not an
indication of a deliberate preference
for that result on the part of both or
either of the parents.
'There is not single one among
the experts who denies that this ls
the great underlying cause of the mod
ern decline in the birthrate of all CIV
ilized communities.
Prof. Wilcox also gave statistics to
show that marriage is less commoa
among college graduates of both sexes
than it is in the average of the entire

IN LOVE WITH HIS JOB.

I haven t much faith in the man who
complains
Of the work he has chosen to do.
He's lazy, or else he's deficient in
brains.
And may be hypocrite, too;
He's likely to cheat, he's likely to
rob;
Away with the man who finds fault
with his job!
Give me the man with the sun on his

And the shadow all dancing behind
Who meets his reverses with calmness
and grace,
And never forgets to be kind.
For whether he's welding a scepter or
swab,
I have faith in the man who S in love

Profit in Planted Forest.

Both soil and climatic conditions
in Illinois are favorable to tree
growth, as 1t is we'll shown by the
fact that over $50 species are found.
and many introduced species thrive.
Comparatively few species, however.
those which will furnish posts or
poles at an early age, can be grown
on the better classes of soils in COM
petition with better farm crops.
During a recent field season the
Forest Service made field study to
ascertain the kinds Of trees best
adapted to planting in the prairie
sections of the State. Over 100 plan
tations were examined and more
than 10000 trees were measured as
basis for determining the rate Of
growth and the value of the planta-
ton. The yield of posts or poles per
acre was computed for the planta-
tions examined, and conservative
prices were assigned in order to find
their present value. Detailed results
and consequent recommendation are
6luDUultu III ClICuidT OIL VI Luc II OI-
est Service, Forest Planting in Illi-
nois," which will be sent free upon
application to the Forester, United
States Department of Agriculture,
Washington, D. c.
Plantations which show net an
nual income at three per cent. of "a
an acre or more are regarded as COM
mercially successful. Judged by this
standard, the only species which
would have paid throughout are ca
talpa, with an average return of
s5.1S per acre, and larch, with re-
turn of $4.3S per acre.
With catalpa, ten plantations out
of fifteen whose products were COM
puted have paid more than 81 per
acre, while two of these have paid
S9.S5 and S16.70, respectively.
Though the average indicated return
from catalpa is but little more than
that from larch, it is often prefer
able to plant catalpa. 1t grows a
trile faster, can be utilized for posts
and poles at a smaller size, and its
wood is more durable. Besides ca
talpa will grow well on ground that is
too wet for larch, or which is flooded
so often that success with farm
crops is uncertain.-Indiana Farmer.

and, indeed, at some concerts this Is
a rule insisted upon by the manage
ment. Who of us, when in the the
atre, has not been at some time
made most uncomfortable by selfish
neighbors on either side lolling upon
both arms of ones chair, or by some
one behind beating time against the

the opening of 1t; by whispering or
by the continued rattling of pro-
gram? Then often there is the
odious habit of incessant conversa-
ton of those near by-people who
insist upon explaining the entire play,
saying who is to be the villain, who
is to marry whom, ETC., or possibly
we are bothered by some very foolish
persons who pay for seats at the play
and then converse all through its per-
formance upon various outside topics.
1t almost goes without saying, that
stamping the feet to testify applause
is in very bad taste, hand-clapping
being the proper way of expressing
approval; that nibbling bon-bons at

one should never remove ones

Pure Water.

To purify water add powdered
alum to the water in the proportion
of one teaspoonful to every four gall
Ions. If you will stir this in briskly
you will find that all impurities will
be precipitated to the bottom, while
the rest of the water will be left pure
and clear.
If you are sitting at desk or sew
ing steadily for hours at time it is
well to rise occasionally, stand erect,
inhale full breath and raising both
hands as high as possible, bring them
down on, top of the head and bend
backward. Repeat two or three times
and you can not imagine how much
1t will rest you.
Better than tray is the little drop
leg sewing table which is high
enough for the top to rest across the
bed while an invalid is eating. Turn
back the legs on one end of the table,
allowing the others to rest on the
floor, supporting some of the weight.
This gives ample room to spread out
the dishes and the table being rather
light the weight is not noticeable. 1t
can be propped at one end with pill
