The Blue Bird.


When nature made the blue bird she
wished to propitiate both the sky and
the earth, so she gave him the color
of one on his back and the hue OF The
other on his breast, and ordained that
his appearance In spring should de-
note that the strife and war between
these two elements was at an end. He
is the peace harbinger; in him the ce-
lestial and the terrestrial strike hands
and are fast friends. He means the
furrow and he means the warmth: he
means all the soft, waving influences
of the spring on the one hand, and the
retreating footsteps of winter on the
other. After you have seen the blue
bird you will see no more cold, no
more snow, no more winter. He brings
soft skies and the rudy brown OF the
fields. 1t is sure to be bright March
morning when you first hear his note.
and it is as If the milder influences up
above had found voice and let
word fall upon the ear, so tender is
1t and so prophetic hope tinged With
a regret.-John Burroughs.

inches in diameter and 16 inches

If the pure liquid is used there is
danger of an inaccurate measurement
This may be overcome, however, by
adding fat to the alcohol before it Is

To prepare the alcohol take about q

METHOD OF READING TESTS
One of Most Important Parts of But
ter Making Is to Measure the
Column of Fat.

One of the most important parts OF
reading cream tests is to measure the
column of butter fat in the tube after
the test has been made. This col
umn of fat is concave at the top, and
there has been considerable discus
sion as to whether the length of the
column should be measured to the
top or to the bottom of the curve.

MRS. sILVEY THOMAS Welded
UNDER DUREss, SHE SAYS.
Declares Husbands Father Drugged
Her After Threatening Her
Own Fathers Life.

ATLANTA. Ca. July 6.-In spite of at
tempts of the parties concerned to Keep
it secret it was learned that Mrs. Sill
vey Speer Thomas was granted a verdict
of divorce in the superior court here yes
terday.
1t was last September that Miss Speer,
daughter of w A. Speer. and prominent
in local first-family circles. eloped with
her chauffeur, Russell j. Thomas. Her
parents pursued the couple. had them de-
tained and carried off the bride of a
few hours.
She was spirited to New York and
thence to Europe. to escape the search
of her youthful husband. The latter has
brought suit against his father-in-law for
alternating his wife's affections.
A statement signed by Mrs. Thomas
was read to court and jury. She said IN
this statement that young Thomas made
love to her, but she resented it. Next
he told her that unless she married him
he would kill her father.
She averred that upon the day of their
elopement. September %. Thomas father
telephoned her that unless she came to
Marietta and married his son her father
would be killed. She went TO the place
agreed upon and was very nervous.
The elder Thomas, she asserts, gave
her a tablet. After swallowing it, she
claims, she did not remember what hap
pened, except in a daZed way.
She believes now that she was drugged
and that while in this state she went
through marriage ceremony.

CHICAGO, July 6.-The name of Tom
Taggart of French Lick Springs, Ind
former chairman of the democratic ma
tiona committee, was brought into the
record of the Ella Gingles trial in Judge

examination, has told of the alleged
search of her room by Miss Agnes Bar
rette, her accuser. and the late Mrs. Ce-
ella Kenyon, looking for lace which
Miss Barrette claimed Miss Gingles had
stolen. This brought the story around
to Miss Gingles' visit to Miss Barrette's IS
room at the Wellington Hotel ON a sub
sequent occasion when, according to
Miss Gingles, she was forcibly disrobed
by Miss Barrette and Mrs. Kenyon.
Did you fight against them?" Assist

Miss Barrette. She said: If Taggdrt
We're only here.
Last Friday Miss Ginsles testified
that she had been told she could have
plenty of money. good clothes and no
work If she would go to French Lick
Springs.
What did you think when Miss Bar
rette told YOU the advantages of this
visit? Mr.. Short asked today.
