ORDERED TO HELP
SUPPORT Wife

The charge of on-support against
John +. Davis. Jr.. which was given
a hearing in City Court this morning
before Judge Cochran, was held up
against him and the court ordered that
he contribute S4 a week toward the
support of his two children. The COM
plainant was his wife, with whom. il
was brought out in the evidence he had
not been living with for six years.
Mrs Davis testified that since last
June he had not given any money for
the support of the two children, one
eight years old, the other 10 years
old. She said that she did not ask sup
port for herself but il was the children's
interests she wished TO have looked
after.
Davis told the court that he hal
meant to give the children money, but
had been unsuccessful in securing work.
Three weeks ago, he said, he found en-
ployment but did not make much
money and said that he was on the
way to give his wife some money for
the children when he heard that the
police wanted him. That was the first
he knew of the charge. he said.
Assistant City Solicitor Satterth-
waite SAID tndt ne thought II would
be a good idea for the court 10 fix a
certain amount that Davis should pay
each week toward the children's sup
port.
How much money do you receive,
asked the court.
Mine dollars a week." said Davis
The court then fixed S4 as the amount
he should pay each week and ordered
that the charge Of none-support be
held up against him.

Bryan. But tho time is coming when
there will be on the man who spends

'The Democratic party believes that tho
people should rule" he continued, "and

masses"
Bryan talked for forty minutes.
Mrs. Bryan accompanied her husband
to the meetings.
The Democratic candidate had an unu-

The Roosevelt Dam in Arizona.

The Roosevelt dam will eclipse in
magnitude of cubic contents all of the
dams at present under construction by
the reclamation service. 1t will con-
tain 100000 cubic yards of masonry,
or over six times more than the Path
finder, and nearly five times as much
as the Shoshone dam. Its height will
be $50 feet from foundation, length on
top $50 feet Cor, including spillway
bridges, 1880 feet), and it's thickness
at the base 165 feet. In plan, although
built in the form of an arch, this
structure differs from the Shoshone
and Pathfinder dams in being of the
gravity type, wherein mass alone is
sufficient to secure stability.
The resulting reservoir will be the
largest artificially formed lake in the
world, a body of water rs miles long
in places over two miles wide, with &
storage capacity of 100000 acre-feet
and maximum depth of over 220 feet

The philippines are to-day nearer
the realization of the doctrine Of THE
Philippines for the Filipino" than they
ever have been. There is more English
being spoken in the islands than Span
ish at the present time. Important
public enterprises are under way which
have attracted the attention Of careful
students of insular affairs all over the
world. Water works are being built
under the most expert scientific adj
vice, public schools are being built in
large numbers, and of superior equip
ment, and splendid public roads, such
as that to the summer capital Of Ma
Mia, are being laid out and construct
ed. Plaques have been made practic-
ally impossible, the customary fever
period has been largely robbed of its
terror, and sanitary conditions and
the health Of the people have been
made subjects Of special attention.
While complete independence is the
dream of the people of the Islands,
they are finding that with so large a
number of their own people in charge
Of the local government, as off1cehold-
ers, they are practically administering
their own affairs. The Philippine Con-
gress contains many Of the brightest
men in the islands, who are manifest
ing an enthusiastic interest in her new
responsibilities. The speaker of the

A Curious Grace,

The most curious form, or, rather,
expression, of grace after meat which
have ever come across was that custom
airy at Cliffords inn, one of the van
ished inns of chancery. The society
consisted Of two distinct bodies, the
principal and rules and the Kentish
mess, each body having Its own table.
At the conclusion of the dinner the
chairman Of the Kentish mess, first
bowling to the principal OF the inn, took
from the hands of the servitor some
small rolls or loaves Of bread and, with
out saying a word, dashed them sew
eral times on the table, after which
they were taken away. Solemn silence
relieved only by the thumps prevailed
dusing this curious substitute for 4
verbal grace.-COr. London Chronicle.
