SENT TO REFORM SCHOOL

Last Tuesday, Sheriff Hood
took Roy McCuller, a thirteen
year old boy of this city, to the
reform school at Little Rock.
The boy is one of the brightest
kind of boys but had become
absolutely uncomfortable by his
mother. and it was at her sug-
gestion that Roy was carried be-
fore the County Judge that he
might make an order to that eff
feet. This is a good law and if
enforced on few more of the
incorrigibles of this town it
would be better for them in the
long run. We have never yet
believed it necessary for our
child to get out from under our
control as long as he sticks his
or her foot under our table, but
if they should to the reform
school they go. If the curfew
law was strictly enforced it
would be a long step in the
right direction.

Scientists Eat Amid MOonvines and
Sunfiowers at Lake Geneva.
The Astronomical and Astrophysi-
cal Society of America, in session at
Yerkes Observatory, Lake Geneva,
elected officers and adjourned after
voting to hold the next meeting at
Harvard College Observatory in Au-
gust, 1910. The second days session
was enlivened by a novel luncheon
given by Mrs. E. B. Frost, wife of the
professor in charge of the observa-
tory. The table decorations were
moonvines and sunfiowers. Star sand
witches, star-dust icings and crescent
peppermints were served. After the
luncheon the scientists were taken on
lake ride in yachts. The astrono-
mers viewed an exhibit of stereopti-
con slides made at several of the great
observatories. The committee on COM
cts reported a plan for the observa-
ton of Halley's comet on its approach
ing return. On account of the rapid
changes in such bodies, it is deemed
advisable to have observing stations
distributed in longitude around the
globe, so as to obtain a practically
continuous series of photographs. Rec
ords of this comets apparition have
been traced back for nearly twenty
centuries.

SAME OLD VAUDEVILLE.

Ancient Basis Remains, Although
Lantern slides Are Colored.
The code of vaudeville as we know
it to-day harks back to the year when
Maggie Cline was first discovered in
the bullrushes of Broadway by one
of the descendants of Pharaoh's daugh-
ter. says the Bohemian. Although
some of the code has been altered at
various times by supes and supersti-
tions. although slapstieks have given
way to Salomes and clothes to steam
heated stages, the basis of it remains
intact.
Advanced" vaudeville has advanc-
ed only in prizes. The clog dance has
not been lost in the shuttle; the drop
curtain showing desolate street
scene. has not been peopled by the
painter despite the great growth in
the population; the xylophone players
still conclude with a medley of pa
triotic airs: the grandchildren of a
score of different worlds champion
acrobatic troupes" are still on the bill
under the same caption; the German
comedian continues to ask the German
ditto the same variety of questions,
periodically swatting him in the face
with the same newspaper; and the
hobo species of monologist still strikes
a match on his whiskers. There is
one new feature; the lantern slides
that illustrate the Rose and Sue type
of songs are colored nowadays. but the
singer still quivers the note at the
end of the second last line of the
chorus.-From The Ten Command
ments of Vaudeville" in the Bohe-

An investigation of the states finan-
cial interest in undeveloped water pow

the proposition made to State Senator
Thomas Morris in letter from Judge
Ray S. Reid, Wisconsin water ways
commissioner Judge Reid is now
touring Europe in advance of the ma

man. Commissioner Reid urges Sena-
tor Morris to endeayor to arrange an
investigation of the matter in the be-
lief that millions of dollars worth of
water power rights rightfully belong
ing to the state are being seized by
private concerns. The commissioner
expresses his belief that the state owns
all undeveloped water power rights
and that the price private interests
should pay the state government in
consideration of franchises is the diff
ference between the value of such pow
err, computed by it's estimated horse
power possibility, and the cost of con-
struction of the power plant. Commits
sioner Reid also declares there is the
problem of what financial interest the
state has in water powers already de-
veloped.
