\ UUAlORIST TANIDiRNIIST
W. Potter. OF England, aud His
Unique Museum.

Beneath the shadow OF the ruined
Il novel and interesting museum, we'll
worthy the attention OF all who find
themselves in that Drettiest OF South
Down villages. The exhibits display
ed therein are principally examples
Of the art Of the taNidermiSt, but the
subjects are treated in such a humor-
Gus manner as to render the museum
unique in England From a child's
point OF view it is a vGritahle Won
dcriand reminiscent OF the strange
sights seen by Alice when she made
her journey into that delectable
country. 1t is not, however. only the
Juvenile who is captivated with the
exhibitions; the adult is none the
less amused and agrccably surprised
at the wonderful ingenuity there dis
played.
The idea Of thus combining the art
Of the taXidcrmist with that Of the
humorist Was generated in the brain
! OF the veteran proprietor, w. Potter.
In 1861 Mr.. Potter set to work to
construct the death and Burial OF
| Cock Robin" The work was done
in Mr.. Pottcrs spare time. and was
not completed until seven years had
! elapsed. The nursery rhyme is too
we'll known to repeat here. The
/ whole Of the incidents in the story
are graphically portrayed, and, as
| cvidencing the patience and perse-
/ verance exercised by Mr.. Potter. it
| may be stated that no fewer than
| 100 specimens OF British birds are
| included in the setting. IN addition
| to the birds which figure i'm the story
nj @ IN \ N Ia
goldfish, hawknnch. bramblehnch,
! whyneck, etc. Considerable ingenu-
! ity Is displayed in the arrangement
OF the fish with his dish" the "hy
with his little eye" the owl, the
bull rendered in miniature. the rook,
and the mourning birds all assigning
! and a-S0bbing.

EXPERIMENTING BY VACATING.
Pastures May BE Freed of Ticks.
Keep Stock or Sept. to july I.

The month of August lends itself
well to the eradication OF cattle
fever ticks where a pasture rotation
plan Is used. BY vacating pasture
during this month and keeping it
vacant until July ! OF next year it
may be freed Of ticks, and If no tick
infested animals are allowed to enter
after July | the pasture will remain
free. The United States Department
Of Agriculture advises farmers in the
tick region to take ADVANTAGE OF
this favorable time SO far as practi-
cable.
Pastures from which live stock IS
removed for a sufficient time become
free OF ticks by process OF Starva-
ton. as the ticks cannot live to ma
turity If they are unable to get upon
animals. The time required for all
ticks to die after the stock has been
removed from infested fields and pas
lures varies considerably, depending
on climate. season and weather con-
ditiOns. Experience has shown, how
ever, that the period from September
l to July is sufficient, and this ap-
pears to be the most convenient time.
The advantage of vacating a pas
ture for the period named is two
FOLD. Not only is the pasture freed
from ticks, but its diSusc during that
time Will probably cause less incon-
Venience and expense than at any
other season. and it will be benefited
by the rest and will have a better
growth OF grass the following sum-
mer. In some sections where pas
lures are utilized throughout the
winter. to vacate would probably
necessitate feeding the stock, unless
the farmer is situated so that he can
keep his stock on one pasture while
another pasture IS kept vacant. But
1T is also true that beginning with
September there will be more
abundant supply Of rough feed about
farm which can be utilized. Au-
gust Is most favorable month for
making start toward freeing prem
iseS Of ticks by this method sug-
geStcd.
The animals should Of course be
lree or ticks when they are again
turned on the pasture in July.
Where the owner has Il small number
OF cattle, greaSing or spraying with
Beaumont crude petroleum is a good
way to rid them OF ticks. When the
number Of cattle is large or when a
dipping vat is convenient il may be
more practicable to dip them.
Full information as TO how to get
rid OF the ticks. including directions
Tor the preparation Of dips and
sprays, may be obtained free upon
application TO the Bureau OF Animal
Industry, Department OF Agriculture,

God Bless Our Dad.
{ Pensacola Review. }


We happened in home the other
night and over the parlor door saw
the legend worked in letters OF red,
"What is Home Without Mothcr?"
"God Bless Our Dad!" He gets up
early, lights the fire, boils an egg,
and wipes off the dew OF the dawn
with his boots while many a mother
is sleeping. lie makes the weekly
handOut for the butcher, the grocer,
the milkman and baker, and his pile
is badly worn before he has been
home an hour.
If there IS noise during the
night dad is kicked in the back and
made to go downstairs to find the
burglar and kill him. Mother darns
the socks, but dad bought the socks
in the first place, and the needles
and the yarn afterwards. Mother
does up the fruit; well, dad bought
it all, and jars and sugar cost like
the mischief.
Dad buys the chickens for the Sun
day dinner, carycS them himself and
draws the neck from the ruins after
every one else Is served. "What is
Home Without Mothcr?" Yes
that is all right; but what Is home
without a father? Ten chances to

IndianS-'raft Wants Statement

Sulphur. Okla, Aug. l9.--In re-
sponse to request from Commiss-
ioner of Indian Affairs Valentine. the
special congressional committee in
vestigating Indian land affairs has
forwarded to Beverly, Mass, state
mcnt covering the amount Of attor-
n"ys' fees paid by the Indians
The statement was said to be for
the use OF President Taft
The statement covers a period of
twenty rcars, and embraces money
paid out as contingent fees. 1t shows
the total money so paid was $685.
30i.54. Among the largest fees was
$7S9.000 paid by the Chickasaw In
dans to recover $2.S5S,79S. The
New York Indians paid $240,S43 to
recover less than $2,00O,000. The
Eastern Cherokees paid a fee Of
$720,000. In some instances the
fees paid were as high as 25 per
cent OF the property involved.
The request TO the committee for
liS HStltS Is taken dS lnulca tln &
that President Taft has decided to
interest himself in the present lnves-
tigation, which grew out OF Senator

McMurray call for Il 10 per cent fee
for the sale Of $50, 100000 worth OF
land in this State. In presenting the

sentative Philip Campbell, of Kansas,
said:
1T is rather Il startling condition

money was paid by the Indians to
American lawyers. when the govern
ment itself is the guardian of the

Suicide and Children.
{ Boston TarnScriDt.) }

Following suicides OF two Young
people in our State institutions, The
Medical and Surgical Journal points
out that child suicides are by no
means uncommon. The census OF
1900 showed that more OF these
crimes against self are committed
between the ages Of so and A than
at any other period; yet between
the ages OF > and II there were %
suicides in the census year, and be-
tween the ages Of ) and 10 The sur
prising number of 246. In Prussia,
| ,l52 children took their lives be-
tween 1880 and 1903. In about O
per cent Of the cases no cause could
b" found and in many instances the
causes seemed trivial. Doubtless they
did not SO appear to the unfortunatcs
since all that we can learn of these
youths warrants the conclusion that
half of them were in some respect
abnormal-indced, of 2Si cases stud
led by Eulcnburg, 30 had pronounced
insanity and 81 showed fcebleness
of mental constitution. When one
has named these significant facts,
however, one must follow, as the
Journal does, with th9 large truth
that "our knowledge OF the child s
mind is eminently incomplete" In
the interest Of justice, as we'll as
charity, we must realize that the life
OF the child is not necessarily Elys-
ian; that rather childhood Is Il pc
riod OF intense feelings and repre-
ScntationS and often of black mis-
apprehensions and emotions The
conditions underlying the painful oc-
! currcnccs which the newspapers
! sometimes have to chronicle are as

curious reason. Most folks are
being disgusted with the continuous
campaigning and speaking and Mr..
Mann assigns the lack of q cam
paign as his chief reason for with
drawing from the race. He has
othel' reaso S. perhaps. but this is
the chef aid only publicly accred
tied reason. In a long card, which
he has given out, he says:
"'ro the Democratic Voters of the

such treatment by the county chair
