BARRIE SEEKS DIVORCE.
English Author-Playwright Tires OF
Actress Wife.

New York, Oct. THE announce
ment from London that James M. Bar
rie, the playwright, had petitioned the
English courts for a separation from
his wife, who was Miss Mary Ansell. an
actress, has created much comment
here. where Mr.. Barrie and his plays
are well known. The idea of divorce in
connection with the author of when
a Mans Single" seemed homogeneous.
The wonderful grasp of feminine char
acter which Mr.. Barrie has shown in
his books, and plays, has always been
supposed to have been inspired in some
degree by his perfect agreement with
his wife. Such plays of his as hat
Every Woman Knows" indicated to the
critics that he had a most remarkable
grasp and understanding of the char
acter of women.
Charles F'rohman, the manager who
produced most of Mr.. Barrte's plays,
declared that Barrie's success with
characters for women was due to the
fact that he knew that when woman
trusted her instinct and Stunned her
reason and logic, she was apt to be
right Mr. Frohman recalled an Incl
dent during the rehearsal of What
Every Woman Knows when Mrs. Bar
RE suddenly appeared and held p hur-
ried whispered conversation with the
author. When she had gone, Mr.. Bar
RE dry1y remarked to the manager:

about women is that they are generally
right {"

HE IS A LEPER.
Now Decided Finally That John Early
Is So Afflicted.

New York, Oct. 7.-Reports just re-
ceived in this country from Bergen
Norway, declare that the second inter-
national scientific congress in leprosy,
recently held there. decided that John
Early, who after being pronounced a
leper by the Washington authorities,
was recently discharged from the Skin
and Cancer hospital here on the ground
that he was not afflicted with leprosy,
actually is a leper.
Early was brought to New York from
Washington and since then has been
free to go where he pleased. He has
come in contact with many persons.
A section of the report from Norway
declares that Early's wife had submit
ted a section of his skin to Armauer
Hansen, the European expert on lep-
rosy, and that his diagnosis showed
that Early is certainly leper. This
decision sustained the Washington
authorities and also the laboratory d.
agnosis of Prof. Ehlers of Copenhagen
who had been consulted by the Wash
|ington physicians and who had been
disputed in New York.
The congress adopted a resolution de-
cIaring that leprosy is a disease which
is contagious from one person to an
other and urging that means be found
to prevent it.

NAVY IS GROWING.
Number of Enlisted Men Shows Big
Increase since 1897.

Washington. Oct NAVAL officials
are very much encouraged over their
success in securing a fine class OF re-
cruits and over the generally satls1ac-
tory condition of the enlisted personnei.
Tables on this subject have been com
piled by Commander w. r. Shoemaker.
in charge of the enlistment branch OF
the bureau of navigation From these
it appears that there are now 44,129 en-
listed men in the navy as against 3S,OZf
in 1907, and that the percentage OF cltl-
zens has increased from 93.1 per cent in
1907 to 95.7 percent in 1909. The per-
centage of native born men in the navy
has also increased from 80 per cent in
1907 to 1874 per cent in 1909
Steady increase is shown. in enlist
ments. In 1907, the total was l4,329,
while in 1909 the total enlistments
numbered 1928. The result of the
strict requirements for enlistment is
shown by the fact that out OF $4,000 ap-
plicants for admission to the navy. this
year. all but 1928 were rejected for
physical or other causes.
Another cause for congratulation IS
the large and steady decrease in the
number of assertions from the service
and the large percentage-65 per cent
of re-enlistmentS.
In 1907 the assertions averaged 9.O4
per cent while in 1909, the percentage
fell to SIS per cent. In the total enlisted
strength of 44,129 are included AL Fill
pinos who are in the insular force OF
the navy. ss

No Word in the Language Mean

Seattle Wash Oct. 7.-Recommend-
ing as a means of securing a perman-
ent American influence in the ORIENT
the establishment of an American ter
ritory, including the southern lslanos
of the Philippine archipelago, Colonel
Ralph W. Hoyt of the Twenty-httn
United States infantry, former com

Mindanao has rendered his resignation
as civil governor of Moro province ana
has sent his final report to washington.
Colonel Hoyt has just returned Win ms

In his report Colonel Heyt urges that
the attention of higher authorizes pc
invited to the great difference In con-
ditions in. the Moro province as com
pared with the rest of the Pnlnpplhe
archipelago and that congress enact
such laws as will effect a permanent
separation of the southern islands IN,
ending Mindanao. Sulu archipelago anu
Palawan, from the rest of the Phllp-
pine archipelago.
In discussing this question To-Day COL
Hoyt said:
should Be United States Territory.
1.-THE southern group of islands should
ne declared territory of the United
States. not a colony, to be occupied
by naval base. 1t should have a CIVIL
military government, similar 10 the
present government of the Moro
province with a policy so plainly ex-
PRESSED that it will settle any question
of independence or political agitation
for annexation to the northern group.
THE rest of the territory should be
divided into plantations and forest re-
serves open to occupation and develop
f7ent The immense possibilities OF IN
creased production under this arrange
ment the impetus given to labor ana
trade m establishing business On
permanent basis, would add to the ar
gIsments for the continued occupation
of these southern islands by the Uni
ted States. besides providing a perman-
ent footho1d of absolute American in
fuence in the Orient.
No Word for Independence.
..The Moros have no conception of
representative government or the mean
irg of independence, having no word in
their language to give it expression we
have not yet built up state or reached
the mass of the people in any general
Tplifting movement. The little RED
school house has been started but in
structions languish for want of trained
teachers or the desire of the natives
to profit by or appreciate the adVan-
tages of education.
s7The mailed fist is the first law of

for this country is neither ready nor
has it ever known any other form of

a purely civil government is quite i'm
POSSIBLE and at present would carry
with it untold misery and suffering"

BIRDS ON THE FARM.

Among the farmers best friends
are the birds that visit his fields and
orchards. The good that they do is
not often appreciated. We are GER
tain to notice the loss of "A crop on
account of insect pests: but, when
the crop is good. it seldom occurs to
use to think that it might have been
lost but for the good offices of friends
or favorable conditions
Insect enemies are almost always
present in sufficient numbers to do
considerable damage if they are not
kept in check by their enemies. One
of the best regulators of insect life
is the birds. In the winter months
the trees are thoroughly searched by
chickadees, which pick up insect eggs
and tear open cocoons and nests.
These birds eat seeds as well and can
be attracted to the place by being fed
hay seed. sue1 and other dainty bits.
Various members of the woodpeck-
er family are to be seen during the
winter. The flicker remains in Col
orado throughout this season and
busts itself hunting hiding insects of
all kinds. They are especially fond
of wood-boring grubs, ants. cocoons
of various insects. and eat insect eggs
whenever they are TO be found. When
we consider the number of these
small creatures required for the meal
of bird, and the power these have
of reproducing themselves If left un-
destroyed. we can get some idea OF
the benefit derived from this winter
work.
The horned larks are to be found
in the fields during the greater part
of winter. While their food consists
chiefly of weed seed, any insect which
is unfortunate enough to expose it
self is likely to be pounced upon
The meadow larks return with the
early spring, and in some parts of
the state remain all winter. At this
season they search everywhere for
cutworms, which form a large por-
tion OF their diet. Cutworms are
among the worst insect enemies of
the farmer. They are almost always
more or less abundant and do injury
which does not attract much atten-
tion because of the small amount,
but which in the aggregate must be
of considerable Importance.
The blackbirds often do very great
service eating the caterpillars from
field crops especially near the bodies
of water where these birds make their
homes.
Most hawks and owls are of dis
tinct value to the farmer, particular
ly the larger species. They live chief
ly on mice. rabbits and gophers. with
a few small birds for a relish. Great
harm is often done by the indescrimi-
nate killing of these birds.-S. Ar
