CALLED THE "WiTCHES' TREE"
Curious Superstition in Europe Re- oarding the Evil Influence of
 the Elder.

English country people speak of the elder tree as |The Witches Tree" and planted 1t near farm buildings and dairies to keep off witches They also say that the roots should never come near a well, still less grow into it, or the water will be spoiIt. Evelyn's opinion was also unfavorabIe. He says: "I do by no means commend the scent of it, which is very noxious to the air.
 "We learn from Biesius that cer- tain house in Spain, seated among many elder trees, diseased and killed nearly all its inhabitants, which when at last they were grubbed up bacame a very healthy and whole some place
 Cattle scarcely touch the elder, and the mole is driven away by the scent. Carters often place branches on thelr horses heads 10 Keep off flies. Nothing will grow well in the company of the elder, and when it has been removed and all its roots carefully grubbed up it is some few years before the ground becomes per- fectly sweet and good for anything.
 1 ] z Il birds, make excellent country wine, delicious with soda water in summer or taken hot in winter; the wood is particularly good for skewers and the curious jews red fungus grows on older stumps. A species of elder in the Tyrol is covered with beautl ful scarlet berries.

FAITH IN CONCRETE WHARF.

The new concrete pier is now near lv completed at the foot of Colorado avenue. While concrete has been used before in pier building this is the first time that a reinforced con- crete wharf has been built into the Pacific ocean. The greatest conf dence is expressed in its ability tc stand the worst storms of the bay Thus far it has made good all prom ises.
 About 15 more piles, weighing ten tons each, must be driven to carry the pier out to its contract lengtf of 1900 feet. This will occupy about two months more, when a cele. bration will be planned to give tho public an opportunity to inspect the first pier of its kind in the world Santa Movirica Correspondence, Los Angeles Express.

WHO FOUGHT
 THIS FIGHT?

According to talk on the streets a fight occurred on the corner Of Oak and Front streets this after noon, iii which one of the pariic- ipants received severe gash with knife, but the identity of the bel ligerants is apparently as myste rious as if the difficulty bad oc- cured in the middle of the Sahara desert and the eattb had immedi ately opened up and swallowed them. Several persons are said to have seen the fight, which seems to have been of short duration, but Marshal J. R. Charles states that none of the alleged witnesses are able to recall who the paltici pants were.
 Apparently the only evidence the officers have is large pool of blood on the sidewalk at ]. F. Weinmann' corner. What the cause of the trouble was, whom it was between and how 1t was end ed are mysteries which have not yet been unraveled.

HOTTEST DAY

Saturday the mercury reached the previous high mark of the year, 97 degrees, while yester- day was somewhat more bearable with a maximum of 93.

SUIT MAY BE POSTPONED
Ludwig Wants Case to be Tried
 at Once.

Little Rock, July 5.-There is now some doubt of the suit of Secretary of State O. C. Ludwig against the Western Methodist, A. (. Millar and others, coming to a trial a week from next Tuesday, when it is set for hearing in Cir cult Court. Secretary Ludwig says he is anxious to have the case tried at that time, but Senator James P. Clarke is the leading counsel for the defendants and he is in the West with a sick son, which will probably prevent his being here. In that case, the t.ial will have to be postponed.

A Lover of Life Replies to My Lady's Dreams

Matrimony is school of applied ideals where

the test of practical conditions 1t is rea1 it is
and it graduates many skilled specialists in
the arts and crafts of living and loving
Masculine viewpoint heads the faculty-a savant
of wide experience worldly wise liberal minded and
steadyng, controlling force Under that influence
three special teachers work their task of ADJUST
ing day dreamers to solid realities. These three
good angels of the novice in matrimony are: Sense
OF humor, sense of proportion and common sense
Theirs is the Office OF ambassadors striving to
promote entente cordiale between alien powers.
Sense of humor laughs away the ridiculous in
congruities (albet with tender tolerance) and
prures with cheerful snip here another snip there
the too etravagant fantasies of Intensely intense"
young things. Sense of proportion measures and
compares and prevents magnifying of trihes while
common brings plump against the lirnita-
tons of the actual and teaches the efficacy and
beauty of compromise and concession. Thus at
last angulartes smoothed off, eccentricities are
toned down. rude barbarans are trained into gracious
companions and lopsided celibates into poised and
rounded humans. And in while from tart
crabapple is evolved a mellow pippinl
Here, too, is studied the romance Of the common

So it is with all the despised realities of matri-
mony; the high poetry is ever there, the kingdom
OF romance is at hand; the only trouble is to find
the rhymes" Here is the raw material of ideals

Oftentimes excessively human, and that he liar,
and frequently accomplished liar and then if she
will good sense she is in position to do great
work in reforming him, and she reduce his lying
to such minimum that it does not amount to much.
If she starts wrong, however, she will make it an
incentive for him lie, and in a short time he will
be beyond redemption.
I'VE will never tell lie to each, other, will We
dearie?o is the question that woman ordinarily
asks her husband when she starts in to take him
of the Ananias class, and she forces him begin his
career of prevaricaton by replying, Certainly not"
That is notice him that he is under suspicion and
he will be alert invent lies that will stand the
acid test
A better way is to start in with the assumption
that he is always going to tell the truth. Don't
intimate that he knows how to lie, and for the
first three four weeks take everything he says for
the truth Husbands rarely lie to their wives during
the first three four weeks of their married life
After that the wise wife will observe feeling of
restlessness his part That does not mean he has
ceased to love her. is the call of the old associates
a longing to see if four flush be filled made
valuable hand if it is not.
If woman is wise enough to observe these symp-
toms she can set back fire that will prevent a lot of
lying She will wait until after dinner when he has
had particularly good dinner, and then she will
say:
Now Jack, because we are married l don't want
to give up all of your friends and the good
times you used to have with them. OF course don't
want you to lose lot of money, but if you to go
down to the club and play poker with the boys occa-
sionally won't We can have good time with
the money you win from them"
HAS HIM GUESSING
He will be up in the air and won't know what it
means, but if he is the right kind of chap he will
know more than that he has clever wife, and
less than ever will he to get his freedom and
play poker. Every country boy knows that the joy
OF stealing apples is the satisfaction of fooing
one, and that the apples would be passed by if they
were free Just if the finds that his wife is
willing he should stay with the boys he won't
want to play.
Ii ne is one of those little he will declare that
he had not been thinking of poker and that he would
not stay away from his home and his little wiley for
all the poker games and all the boys earth. If
she is wise she will be deceived by this line of
chatter, for in few days he will call her up the
telephone during the afternoon.

he does not have to lie to his wife about it. He can
afford to give her everything she wants, but in
every case when does this he is spending his
money in a way that he does not want his wife to
know about and when she begins TO get nqusitive
he will buy her automobile. But those
so rare that they are hardly worth classifying
with the lies that lie in husbands eyes
Are there truthful men, then?" asks the young
girl who hopes that day she will her ideal

the exceptions that prove the rule but don't marry
of them. They are like four eaved clover You
will have hunt long while TO find one, and when
you successful in your quest you will find that
they only ornamental and not at all useful. Take
the other kind of man, who lie if needs be,
but who also love. Take him when he is
young and you can break him of lying about many
thnes and the times he does lie will be to you
from worry it is not hard to forgive him.
TO MAKE HIM STOP
Is there no way to break man of the habit of lying
to his wife? That depends largely the and the
wife. 1t is impossible to effect reformation in the
of who has been married for, say, ten
years wife who is just little inclined to be nag
ging, and who has been really compelled to lie in
self-defense have no happiness at all. He may be
honest man in his business dealings one of those
whose word is as good his bond but he has been
lying to his wife SO many years that it became a
part of his nature and he keeps it up.
Even with tough old case like that wife who
good and little strategy can accomplish
much. She show him that he is not getting away
with lot of the kind he has been telling for years,
and there is nothing discouraging to as to
find that lie he has labored and tried to perfect
so that it is beeyable is scorned as falsehood
Let the wife of such keep her temper and
laugh at Mr.. Husband when he tells her he kept
late with client the night before A good way
to do is to ask question to dsconcert him. did
you win lose" is a question that will almost
brighten who has been playing poker and who
has told his wife of the stories he has been
telling for years without having doubt raised
He will think has been giving her inside
information about his conduct, and he will be thor
oughly frightened.
If she has good sense and keep her temper when
she finds out she has made a good guess, she will
convince her husband that it may be we'll to tell her
the truth and then, just to establish reputation
for veracy, that in the of great emergency,
which ordinarily staying out two nights in sue
cesson, he can lie and have much better chance to
get away with it.
The good be accomplished by catching
husband when he is Young and training him. The
great difficulty here is that it is almost impossible to
convince young wife that her husband knows
how to lie. 1t she will remember that he is human,
