Place For Shrub berry.

The shrubbery frame for the yard OF
garden should be formed on the same
principle as picture frame or the
border Of rug. It should harmon
ize with the picture it encloses, and
each shrub in the border should har-
monize with its companions. Too often
no attention is paid TO this kind OF
harmony and the shrubbery border
becomes thing of shreds and patches
made up of snowy bushes, perhaps
beautiful plants in themselves, but
arranged without regard TO the effect
of the shape, color and general ap-
pearance of one upon the whole.
In choosing shrubs to grow side by
side consider the foliage and flowers
as carefully as you consider the size
and shape Of the bush. Do not put
large masses of light green foliage
next to masses of dark, or you will
have a patchy effect. BY care in Sc
lection as regards Towering season,
YOU may be sure of having one or
more plants in the border in blossom
at all times during the summer. Two
shrubs that blossom the same time
should not be placed together II the
colors clash. In the summer study
your shrubbery border and make

Police to Suspected House.
Thu Is the story OF the way a
horse played detective. Incidentally
it is the arrest of two men and the
recovery Of furs valued at $4,000,
which il Is alleged were stolen
But the real interest of the tale
centers about Mike. old and gray,
who has for years hiked about the
streets in front of rafting express
wagons. His unexpected development
Of frsUraCe detective ability has
made him the mascot Of the Mercer
street policemen, the New York
Globe says. If his temper were a
little better and his appetite a little
less, :hey might hang a blue ribbon
about his neck and formally adopt
him as u child of the regiment.
On January % Isaac Starobin. a
furrier Of E33 Sd street, Brooklyn,

express wagon, and Broadway. Man

horse could say it, Mike said to the
policeman:
DO you want the house to fall on

Henry thought so much of the

In the Nyassa country I'd always

With the utmost care. I'd clamp
down its edges with valises and box

wood fires. filing it with a bitter
smoke that all insects are supposed
to loathe.
Finally I'd get in myself. I'd
smoke big pipes Of the black native
tobacco. and I'd long miserably, in
that hot, smoky atmosphere, for the
dawn.
For despite all my precautions
quite 200 or 500 mosquitoes would
get inside my net as soon as dark
ness fell. They were like a whirl-
wind in there. II couldn't have been
worse. Their noise and their nip
ping made me feverish-made me

dressing shows the change most de-
cidedly The hair is dressed low, in
some instances in the severe Psyche

sic simplicity applied to the arrangement
of the hair, however, requires classic
outline of features; so notifications
must be arranged to suit irregular fea-

the becoming arrangement of the hair
much easier matter than if all ones
own hair is used. Z, cept for the graft
icatlon of a personal pride, long and
thick hair is more burdensOme than

of ribbon wire, covered with satin or
ribbon. The hair is parted and slightly
waved on each side, then drawn loosely
to the back, where it is arranged in two

Happenings of Local Interest

The fight against adding certain territory east of Newark to the Big Bottom fencing district was up again in the circuit court at Batesville Wednesday. The court instructed the commissioners to allot to each landowner the amount of fence he would be required to build. The commissioners expect to comply with the courts in- structions, and will require each landowner to build his own fence.
 Rev. D. J. Weems, the genial and wide-awake field editor of the Western Methodist, of Little Rock, spent Saturday and Sunday in Newark, the guest of Rev. and Mrs. Jas. F. Jernigan. He deliy- cred two excellent sermons to large and appreciative congregations at the Methodist church. He secur- ed seven new subscribers for the Methodist, making q total of 36 at this place. This shows that the church people are beginning to read religious literature, and indi- cates a desire for information on church work, which is the real ba- sis for all successful endeavor, for without knowledge or infor- nation, but very little of real good is ever accomplished.
