DoLLlvER FOR CONSERVATION.

nittee to Favor II.

Is Said to Be Only Member Of Com
nnittee to Favor 1t.
Washington, Aug. Ex-senator Dol
liver, Of Iowa, probably will be much
in the llmel1gnr next winter ii con
nection with the question of conserva-
ton and resources.
This question has been raised to a
pitch of unusual interest by the Pin
chot- Balhnger controversy and the al
legations that under the regime Of
water powers of great value are be-
ing grabbed up or are not protected
with the care that they should be.
Senator Dolliver is member of the
senate committee on copservation Of
natural resources. This committee has
been lately created. 1t is headed by
Senator Dixon Of Montana and has on
it number of republican senators,
such as Clark Of Wyoming and Hey
burn of Idaho. who are fatty opposed
to the policies Of Pinchot and Roose-
welt and hostile to the conservation
movement.
1t looks now as IL Senator Dolli-
yer will be the only senator in the
republican side of the committee who
would enter earnestly into struggle
for real conservation.
Inasmuch as the various conserva-
ton questions will be referred to this
committee 1t is not at all unlikely Sem
ator Dolliver will go into the Nmelight
| in connection wirn conservation quite
as much as pm tariff. He will doubt
less be one OF the leaders in one fight
for conservation. -

Barefoot croquet to Cure Nervousness.
Many persons in England now ind
pleasure and possibly profit in play
ing croquet with the feet bare, not, as
might be imagined, in more or less
primitive fashion on the sands OF the
seashore. but on the well kept lawn Of
the country house, to say nothing Of
that Of the suburban villa. All those
who have played the game with bare
feet praise the method highly, saying
that the naked. foot has far. better
grip on the turf than the foot that
rests on sole of leather or india rub
Der. It il further urged that the touch
of the soles Of the feet against the
earth has . soothing effect upon the
nerves.

About "Gra.s" Widow.

"Grass widow" is not necessarily q
slang term. It appears in the mar.
rage register Of Halstead, Essex, Eng
land, as early as 1854. 1t is said to be
a corruption of grace widow" and
dates from the days when divorces
were granted only by the authority of
the church. The woman who was so
empowered to separate from her hus-
band was commonly called a grace
widow. and from this the expression
gradually gained it's present meaning
and spelling.

VERDICT NOWHERE IN SIGHT.
Best, But Thing Sought For Was
Not in Evidence.

A lawyer from New Orleans tells
the story about jury trail in little
obscure village somewhere in Lou
islana: 'Of course, strange as it may
seem, the jury in this trial was rade
up entirely of negroes. 1t seems that
all the available white men were eth
er at work or had gone hunting or
fishing. And. anyway it being a case
OF one negro charged with steaT7ng
from another, the interest of the white
people of the place, Of whom there
was conspicuous minority, was not
sufficiently involved for it to make any
difference
When the evidence was all In and
the prosecuting attorney, white man,
OF course. had submitted the case
without argument, the accused, for.
tunately, had no counsele-the Judge.
also white man, orderad the jury,
which could not agree in the box. to
retire to an adjoining room and find
| a verdict
The jury retired. At last the judge
could stand it no longer, and went in
/ person to the room to see what was
delaying the verdict. He found each
OF the jurymen crawling around oE the
noor peering under chairs and tables.
and also into corners. The court was
amazed. He did not know whether the
whole jury had gone crazy or what
was the matter
Here, he Numbered, what age
you niggers doing?
The foreman arose, and, making
humble obeisance, answered:
70 honah. faint no use; We 1es'
KANT find no verdict in dis here room.
Fact Is you honah. doan blieb dere's
