CHESTERFIELD OF THE SENATE

Senator McI.aurin of Mississippi is perhaps the most gallant member of congress. He never lets an op- portunity escape to say nice things about women. They are telling a good joke about him in this con nection.
 The senator and Mrs McLaurin recently called upon some friends. There they met congressional friend and his wife. The senator took occasion to compliment the woman several times during the eve ming upon her good looks, charming gown. etc. The host brought up the subject of politics and handed the senator n newspaper clipping Tn which reference was made to him.

ROUND TOWERS OF IRELAND.

The round towers of Ireland are certain tall, slender circular towers of stone, found in various parts of that country. They are about 120 in number and vary Tn height from 100 to 120 feet. They were built be- tween the ninth and twelfth cen turies. and were doubtless for re- ligious purposes, as they seem 10 have always been in the neigh borhood of churches or mon asteries. These round towers also served as places of refuge in times of danger. and, after the in- troduction of bells, were used as bell towers. Three similar towers are also found in Scotland, at Brechin.

ENGLAND NEEDS MORE FARMs
Alarm Over Decrease cf Land Uu5ef Cultivstion--Reco recommendations
 of a Comm .ssicn.

England is worried at prcscn' over not only a decrease in its farr population, but shrinkagc in tho number of acres under cultivation. t has 100000 acres less under cultivation now than ten years ago
 | commission which investigated he subject ascribes this situation to the impossibility of ownership by the tenant leading to slack methods which render farming unprotitable, and recommend giving the tenant a chance to purchase, or at least the benefit of enhanced value due to better care and more scientific till- age.
 Land in England has become too valuable to return profit by farm jng methods prevailing in the United States, and the commission plans to rejuvenate English agricul- turc by multiplicity of small farms well tiled and soil properly nurtured. England must always de- pend upon outside sources for large portion of its food supply, 5ut it could be made to produce everything needed except grains and meat, and the amount of these pro- lugcd at home could be greatly in- creased if all the arabic land were undqr blow.

WAS MASTER OF PROFANITY.
Senator Beveridse Admits That at One Time He Had Hard Work
 to Break Sad Habit.

An interesting story told by the Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Times-Star recalls the fact that Senator Albert J. Bev eridge of Indiana once lived in Kan sas. After the future senator had finished school he went north and worked in a logging camp, and then decided 10 come to the Suntlowcr state. He was persuaded to stop at Dighton, and there entered the real estate business. One day there was trouble at Dighton and a neclltie party was being arranged for cer- tain offender. Beveridge mounted dry goods box and talked the lynch CTS out of the idea, literally saving the intended victims life.
 The Times-Star story gives Bev- eridges version:
 What was your hardest struggle in life, senator?' Mr. Beveridge was asked one day.
 "To quit cussing,'' said he; T learned how to swear hard enough to impress the loggers, and it was years before could break myself of the habit. But it helped save my life one time l was in lit- tie COW town in western Kansas when mob undertook to lynch a drunken man for stealing a mule. l believed him innocent, and man. aged to outclass that crowd. And then the man who preferred the charge came after me and l cussed him out so that he put his gun back in his holster and went away.

Although the parents of Miss Lille

girl who eloped December 13 with Ira
King, also of Reading, were anxious to
have their daughter apprehended, as
stated in las nights STAR, they ap-

to how long the girl remains locked
up In the Harrison police station.

early yesterday morning and the police
authorities of Reading were notified.
1t was said that the girls father would
come to Harrison yesterday and take
the pair home.
When he failed to arrive by midnight

Mr.. Davis was on his way to Harrison.

household, the noise which resulted was
lasting and dangerous.
Now, even at thirty PAGES, it is diff
cult for a cop, excited over the chase,
to tell the difference between a candi-
date for a dog show blue ribbon and
an outcast, so much trouble resulted.
In bringing pressure to bear upon
Mayor Crawford, victims of the shoot-
at-sight dog policy urged that the spec
'tacle Of the sudden taking off of a dog
in the street was a bad one for the
children, so the Mayor ordered the
police shotguns to the gunrooms, and
hereafter the temporary or perma-
nently homeless dogs are to be escorted
to the pound by policemen who meet
them in the street.
From being the armed scourges of
the streets of Montclair, so far as the
dogs were concerned, the members OF
the force are now nurses and truant
officers for stray animals. They do not
like the job q bit, but not wen police
men can always be chopsers.
