Pheasant Hatohina In Illinois.


1t is learned from reports made to
the state game commissioner by ILL
nois farmers who this spring received
consignments of pheasants that these
eggs showed 55 percentage Of hatch,
says the Forest and Stream. The
great trouble found In distributing the
eggs was rough handling by the ex-
press companies. The majority of
farmers reporting matches state that
the birds are doing we'll and are now
more than half grown. If some means
can be devised whereby the express
companies will give greater care and
attention to the eggs, this method of
restocking the state of Illinois will be
a success. Next season it Is proposed
to have the deputies from the various
counties Of Illinois call at the Office of
the game department in Springfield
and take the eggs home with them and
distribute them from their own offices.

Value In swamps.

The department Of agriculture has
been investigating the swamp lands of
the United States and reports that
east of the Mississippi there are IT,
100000 acres that could be drained
and made to bear fruit Of some kind,
says the Pathfinder. When 1t Is re-
membered that such an area is as big
as the British isles one has some re-
spect for those who would reclaim the
land. 1t has been found that this re-
claimed land is very rich, as for ages
past vegetable mold has been depos-
tied on 1t. Almost anything will grow
on such land. In one part Of Pennsyl-
yania what used to be mere bog is
now the finest celery farm in the
state. Any one who owns swamp land
should not put too much discount on it.

BRIToN's PULLING OFFER.
Wealthy Relative Eager TO Adopt and
Enrich American Boy. ls6a

Enrich American Boy.
G. Francklyn Lawrence, Jr., twelve
year-old son of wealthy wooden Inn
porter Of New York, who lives at Short
Hills, N. j., has the opportunity to be-
come an English country gentleman
and inherit fne old English estate,
Cowesfield House, Wiltshire, and big
fortune to boot, says q Millburn (N.J
correspondent Of the New York Sun.
William Frederic Lawrence, cousin
Of the boy, who for twenty-one years
was member Of parliament from
the division Of Absrcrombie, Liverpool,
wants to adopt him and in return Of
fers these inducements. The boy Is
eager enough to accept the offer, but
his father and mother, who are Amer
leans, hesitate.
The English Lawrence Is without an
heir and is the last of his line. A hun
dred years ago two Lawrence brothers
lived on the island Of Jamaica. When
they grew up one went back to Eng
land and the other came to America.
William Frederic Lawrence was born
in 1914. He went to Elton and Oxford
and later became q barrister Of Lin
coins Inn. He went to parliament in
1885, remaining until q year ago.
He sought the American Lawrences
few years ago, and they visited him.
He was pleased with the boy, who is
the eldest Of three children, and has
now made the offer of adoption.
Seldom are parents confronted with
a more difficult problem than that
which Mr.. and Mrs. g. Francklyn
Lawrence are trying to decide. They
are loath to let their son go, but the
boy wants to leave for England at
once, and the question of forswearing
allegiance to Uncle Sam ia a mere de-
tail to him.

INCIDENT OF THE BALLET.
Miss Hawman Was Kind, and Stage
Hands Remembered 1t; That's All.


Hands Remembered IT.; That's All.
Good deeds are sometimes remenl-
bered, even in New York, as was DEM
onstrated the other afternoon on the;
stage of the Herald Square theater,
when makeup" box was given by
Hawman, a young Englishwoman, who
appears in the pony ballet in The
Girl Behind the Counter" The gift
was accompanied by resolutions. en-
graved and framed, which recorded
the good deeds that inspired it, says
the New York Tribune.
Dave Lewis, a stage carpenter, was
stricken with apoplexy while pursuing
his vocation few days ago. Miss
Hawman was about to go on the stage
with the ballet when she saw him fall.
She hurried to his side and tried in
vain to revive him. Hearing that he
had wife, the little Englishwoman
hurried to his home and consoled her
until the remains of her husband were
laid away. She could do no more. 1t
Is written somewhere that it is good
thing to console the afflicted, but Miss
Hawman made no pretense of recalling
such writing either before or after the
performance of this recorded deed, nor
had she looked for reward here or
elsewhere.
"Why should be remembered for
this ?" she remarked, half complaining
~. ANY person would have done as
much"
But the companions Of the dead man
thought otherwise; hence the gift and
the resolutions. BY virtue of these
resolutions Miss Hawman is for all
practical purposes an honorary mem
Der of the stage employees union.
Wherever she may be, they say, she
will find in that organization friend.
And If she is in need the members will
care for her, having in mind the kind
ness to their brother. 1t may be added
that Lew Fields show is all the mer-
rier because of tDis incident in the
history of the pony ballet.

The Lady and Her poa.

There are any number of men who
would ask who you were talking to if
you limited that they were not absolute
" masters in their own establishments,
yet these very men are often the slaves
of their dogs. By the way, unless you
really want to make her your sworn
foe, don't, whatever else you may say
or do. speak disparagingly of lady's
dog. even If it is the most unholy mon
