The man who always does what he

How Women's Hats Preserve +:
the Mississippi Levees. +:
Observation-Disclosures;

II Is difficult to see the connection
between women's hats and the leyees
along the Mississippi River, never
theless, absurd as this may appear in
a bare statement Of fact, It is the
truth. During the past fall and win
ter feminine headdresses, in the form
Of the fashionable fur turbans, have
Indirectly been instrumental in pre-
serving intact the great stretches Of
embankment which restrain the now
eriul Mississippi from sweeping over
the surrounding country. The me-
alum through which this interesting
state Of affairs has come about is the
muskrat.
In practically every instance the
original cause Of crevasse along the
river front has been traced to a musk.
rats hole, and though the State Of
Louisiana has tried in numerous ways
70 exterminate these pests, their num-
bers seemed to increase. Unwittingly
the milliners OF New Orleans came
10 the rescue when they purchased
several hundred muskrat furs from
trappers In the neighborhood. and
TINS new trimming for the jaunty lit.
tie turbans Immediately sprang into
popularity. Hunters quickly learned
OF this demand for rats" and great
numbers OF pelts were poured upon
the market, bringing an average price
OF twenty cents apiece. Without great
diihculty an experienced trapper
might secure several dozen skins
daily, and this industry became de.
cidedly more profitable than CUNNING
for ducks and other game. It now
appears very probable that Louisiana
may rid herself entirely Of the bur.
rowing rodents which have endan.

TART REMARKS SNAPPED
BY Cannon and C1ark-Opposing
Leaders Cross Bats.

Washington, March 16.-Speaker
Cannon and Champ Clark, the mi.
nority leader of the house, snapped
tart remarks about each other at the
White House today. The speaker
called upon the president early in
the morning, and when he was leav-
ing the executive offices made this
answer to a question as to the fight
in the house yesterday:
"The amendments to the rules
have greatly improved them. All
this stuff about the speaker being
a car is the purest tommyrot. There
has never been a time when the
majority could not control the house.
What they wanted to do was to make
a committee Of Is cars, dominated
by Champ Clark and LaFollette.
That is also tommyrot. LaFollette
is a fake"
When representative Champ Clark
called on President Taft later in the
morning and was told what the
speaker said, he answered briefly:
Uncle Joe has paresis." Mr..
Clark would not comment further
except to say that the amendment
to the rules amour to very little.

c~oncealing the fact that the political
days Of Commissioner John G.. Ca
pers, Of the internal revenue bureau,
who for some years has dictated the
filling of Government offices in South
Carolina, are at an end and, while
it may not be true that any one else
has been named yet to succeed him
as referee, the truth may as we'll be
known, and that is, that when the
President desired to make Mr.. Du-
rants appointment he did not consult
Mr.. Capers, but sent for Postmaster
General Hitchcock. who, with Post
master Harris, of Charleston, recon-
mended Mr.. Durant's appointment.
Mr.. Capers was not taken into con-
in any way, so far as can
be learned.

better than to be a candidate my
self. l can not say that 1 would
under no circumstances accept the
nomination, because no one is wise

NEAR BEER PAYS i
HEAVY TOLLS TO ATLANTA IN
POLICE FINES.
Fine Assessed First Two Months of
This Year Are In Excess Of Same
Period Two Years Ago.

Atlanta, March 16.-The Journal
says fines assessed in police court
during the first two months of this
year were larger than for the two
corresponding months of any other
year in the history of police court.
Though the number OF cases tried
during the past two months were not
as large as for other months larger
fines were imposed.
During January the fines assessed
by the city recorder amounted to
s~15.047.75 and of this amount S.
964.50 was paid in, the other fines
being worked out at the city work
house. In February $13,354.25 in
fines was assessed, while $6,826 was
paid. This brought the total amount
assessed up to s~2S,354.25 which is
the largest in the history of the
police court for January and Feb
ruary. The total amount paid in
Was ~s13,790.50, which is consider
ed unusually large.
In January of 1907, the fines i'm
posed by the city recorder were $11.-
5000 and in the following month
amounted to s%9,970.75. At the time
this was considered unusually large
as more cases were being tried in
police court each day than at any
other time. 1t was before the pro-
hibition law went into effect and for
this reason more cases were tried
each day than are placed On the
docket now.
According to the figures at police
headquarters, SCISSORS more was
assessed for the first two months OF
this year than in 1907, at which time
whiskey was here. The cases tried
during January and February o.
this year numbered 3,047, while fol
the first two months Of 1907 there
we're 3,458 tried.
The first two months of 1908, thu
first OF prohibition in Atlanta, were
very small as compared to the fine!
assessed the nrst " or this year
For the two months the fines assess
ed amounted to s13,421.75, which
, IS but half as large as for the TIVE
months Of this year than were as
sessed for the first two months o

yroes brought this number up t.

Washington, Ca, March 16.-Lit-
tie Luther Boline, the fve-year-old
son of Mrs. L. A. Boline, met a
tragic death by drowning yesterday
afternoon, while playing in the back
yard alone. The little fellow had
digged a small hole in the back yard
about 22 inches deep and Is inches
in diameter which he called his
well" The recent wet spell Of
weather had filled the hole with wa
ter and it is supposed that the child
was attempting to dip all the water
out of the hole when he slipped and
fell headforemost in the hole and
was drowned. Missing the child
from her side, Mrs. Boline went out
into the yard and found him, with
his head and part Of his shoulders
submerged in the muddy water and
cold in death. Artificial means Of

THE IDEAL WOMAN

New York, March 15.-Dr. Lyman
Abbott says that the ideal woman
must not change her styles at the

If the milliner and dressmaker.
In an address in Brooklyn, he
said: "a woman's idea of modern
industry is playing bridge whist
morning and night. Her idea Of
modern life is to be supported by
some one else.
1.-THE ideal woman does not con
'ider work unwomanly. She be-
lieves that whatever Ger her
husband concerns her. If the ideal
woman's family finds fault with her
cooking. she does not blame the
cooking; she blames the food and
"hanges it.
woman was meant to be mans
companion, and If the idea were
properly carried out, there would be
10 afinities."
