AUGUST.
Last year.
Alack and alas!
Beverly, Mass,
And Bill on the fiat
or his back In the grass
Sounding the depths
OF the Opline sky
And watching the clouds
Floating dreamily by.
Last year,
Alack and alas!
Beverly, Mass
This year,
Sycamore Hill,
Strenuous still,
And no one complaining
For want OF a thrill,
Shindy and sass
Just as certain as fate
Beverly, Mass,
Can dream early or late,
Snore az it pleases
And snooze as it will
This year,
Sycamore Hill.

There's q land whose witching beauty
Like bit of Eden seems:
Home land of the birch and pine tree.
Land of crystal lakes and streams.
When the summer sun is scorchine
All the southland with its heat.
Hither flock the tourists. seeking
Shelter in its cool retreat.
Here they drink of purest waters.
Breathe intoxicating sir.
And in daily rounds Of pleasure
Lose all sense of toll and care.
And reluctantly departing.
Loudly do they sound its praise.

With returning summer days.
But when hangs the hazy purple
Der the distant dreamy hills.
And the golden glow of autumn
All the nearer landscape fills.
Then come sweeter charms than summer
With its beauties can impart.
HaIcyon days and burning splendors.
Captivating eye and heart.
Even winter with its rieors-
When the brighter days are flown
Stern old winter. in the northland.
Hath pleasure all its own.
With its air so sweet and bracins.
With its snow 90 soft and white.
With its greater calm and sunshine.
Winter here is one delight.
Happy then the friends who greet us
When the summer is at hand;
Happier far who make their dwelling
In this bit Of Edenland.

STEADY SMOKER AT THREE
Boy Began When But Six Months Old
and Shows No III Effects

PhoeniXville, Pa.-The fact that this
town contains a boy but three years
old who is an inveterate smoker of a
pipe was discovered when John Doe
mex was seen IT a railroad station
with his little son, Peter, who was
blowing whiffs of tobacco smoke from
a big bowled pipe which filled his
chubby hand. While the astonished
commuters gazed at the pair, the lit
the boy smoked three pipefuls of an
ordinary brand of tobacco.
Some who questioned the father
about the little fellow were told
that Peter had just passed his third
birthday and had been a pipe smoker
since he was six months old, when a
pipe was playfully thrust into his
mouth. He set up great howl when
1t was withdrawn, insisted upon hav-
ing it and wanted it filled and lighted
Soon the lighted pipe became a great
err favorite with the precocious young
ster than his milk bottle, and since
then he has been smoking daily, all
efforts made to break him of the habit
having proved unavailing.
The boy shows no bad effects from
the tobacco he bit and his growth has
not been hindered nor has he ever
been sick. He is a native of this coun-
try, his father having been born in
Austria.

DUE TO TELEPATAY
REUNION AFTER 10 YEARS SEEMS
so BROUGHT ABOUT.
Woman Awoke Night Her Brother
Ran Away With Feeling of I'm
easiness-Mental Messages
Part of Clue.

New Brunswick, N. J.-Reunited
after having been separated for Ii
years, Mrs. Lizzie Roman of 80 East
ern avenue, New Brunswick, and her
thirteen-year-old brother, Andrew Sila-
81, are about as happy in the formers
home as any two persons could be.
Those who have investigated the
story of the reunion of the brother
and sister declare it is clearly a case
of telepathy. The boy ran away on
the night Of July from the home of
the farmer who had cared for him
since he was two years old, and Mrs.
Roman says that on that night she
was awakened from her sleep by feel
ing that something had happened to
her brother, whom she hadn't seen
since he was a two-months-old baby,
and she at once began search for him,
with the result that they met, after
their long separation, in the rooms of
the Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Children
The boy, who was a half orphan
from birth, was adopted by John Wass
of Hicksville, N. ]. 1t was stipulated
that he should not be seen by any
member of his family until he was tif-
teen years old Andrew lived for thir-
teen years with Mr.. Wass. He was a
good boy but high spirited.
One day while correcting the boy for
some prank Mr. Wass told him that
he was not his father and that his
only relative was a sister. The lad
several days later ran away from
home and came to New York. He
sought work unsuccessfully, and for a
week went hungry and slept in hall
ways, always thinking of his sister and
wishing that he could reach her.
Robert Mcdowell Of 202 Avenue G
found him in front of mis- home and
took him to the Children's society.
The boy was unable to give any &C.
count of himself except that he had
lived in New Jersey, and with this
clue the agents of the society began
hunt for his relatives.
Mrs. Roman at the same time was
conducting search of her own for
her brother. Immediately after she
received the telepathic message she
went to Hicksville to try to locate Mr.
Wass. She found that he had moved
to Perth Amboy, but was unable to
learn his address. An advertisement
located Mr.. Wass, but, to her dismay,
Mrs. Roman found that the boy had
run away several weeks before.
The only clue which Mr.. Wass was
able to furnish was that the lad had
threatened several times to visit New
York. Mrs. Roman came here and
was directed to the Children's society,"
Accompanied by the man who had
adopted her brother, she went to the
5ociety's rooms, and the first boy
brought out for inspection was the
boy she wanted to see.
Joyfully the two left the society
building for Mrs. Romans home.
81 believe it was a case of tele-
pathy," said Mr.. Hedley of the Chill
dren's society. 1--WE never would have
found the boys relatives if Mrs. Ro-
main had not begun her search at the
same time"

Austrian Method May Be of Value
in United States.
Destructive Little Pests Due to Ar
rive Again Next Spring, Ento-
moIogists DecIare-How
War May Be Waged.

Washington.-Tha the seventeen
year locust is due to appear by next
spring is the. announcement recently
made by entomologists- who have kept
track of the little pests Visits, and
while heretofore measures against a
locust invasion have proved futile,
there is possibility that the plan of
the ChemicalAgrarian institute of
Goerz, Austria, to reduce their num-
bers may be of benefit here, not only
in the case of the seventeen-year To-
Gust, but Of the annual supply of
grasshoppers. = Vice Consul de Mar
TIM at Trieste, in describing these
measures, says:
Under the guidance of their mas
tiers the boys of: all the communes of
the province of Goerz. were trained to
intercept the march and capture the
locusts in their invasion of that agri-
cultural district in 1909 Exact sta
tistics have. just been published, Civ
ing interesting particulars which may
prove useful to other agrarian fields,
even in the United States.
The official report describes the
method used to combat the pest and
shows the results of each commune.
the number Of ljtres of locusts killed
and prizes awarded to each school,
and the number of days work done
days work consisting of three hours
by each boy. The days of work are
stated to have been 26,S45, during
which eleven railway wagon loads of
locusts were captured. The total
amount in prizes awarded to the boys
was $1,000 crowns ($3,451). Each boy
received ID cents a day for three
hours, capturing on an average four
quarts Of locusts each day. The total
expenditures were as follows: Prizes
to boys, $3,451; implements and their
repair, $500; overseers, $406; school
masters, 5000; administration work,
$50S; total, 1854.
This work, due to proper organiza-
ton Of the schoolboys, shows what
might be achieved by similar means
on a much more extensive scale to
wipe out this plague. If it is COM
puted that each locust consumes daily
food to half the volume of it's body, it
follows that locusts thus captured
would have devoured sixty railway
wagon loads of hay (six tons to a
load), besides damaging cultivation.
OF the locusts captured, 400 made a
litre. The 100000 litres gathered rep
resented, therefore, about $4,000, 900
locusts. 100000 Of which were fe-
males that would have laid 100000
900 eggs for new generation.

GIRL is CHARMED BY SNAKE
Young Woman Is Discovered Standing
MotionIess in Hay Loft When
Help Arrives.

Harrisburg, Ill.-An instance in
which the power of snake to charm
a person was exemplified at the home
of DR.. r. E. Groce, who lives south of
this city.
C. C. Howard, in passing the barn of
Doctor Groce, heard the screams of
young girl. She could be seen in the
loft of the barn through an open win
dow. Mr.. Howard jumped from his
buggy and reached the barn about the
same time as did Doctor and Mrs.
Groce. The girl. who is Mrs. Groce's
sister, was standing motionless upon
a pile of hay, looking squarely into the
eyes and glittering fangs of monster
blacksnake. Howard called to her to
jump, but she made no reply other
than to scream. Keeping his face to-
ward the snake all the time, Howard
reached for a shotgun, which Doctor
Groce had gone to the house after, and
discharged both barrels, tearing the
snake into fragments.

OYSTERS GROW ON THE TREES

and fish of every kind and description
are waiting there to be caught.
All the foregoing is described in 2

fairs from San Juan. The angler might
try this from the report to the bureau
on his rod and reel:
AT one port the following food

amarillo, one pound; red goat, one
to eight pounds; blue parrot, three to
eight pounds; trunk fish, one to four
pounds; robalo, five to twenty-five
pounds, and balaju, one-quarter to
three quarter pound"
AS for oysters, Capt. John H. Kerr
of Baltimore, who is in Porto Rico
looking over the fishing field, is au-
thority for the declaration that they
grow on trees, and the report to the
bureau of insular affairs says:
oysters OF good flavor are quite
plentiful on the south side of the is
land, they are usually attached to the
roots and lower branches of the man
grove trees at the shore"
In spite of all these conditions the
report shows that Porto Rico import
ed more than $654,000 worth of dried
fish last year and exported none.

TWO-HEADED SNAKE KILLED
One Head Blind, But Could Bite, as
Captor Found to His
Sorrow.

Towanda, Pal. C. Spencer of
Mount Lake, four miles from Towanda.
brought to the county seat a snake
with two, heads. The reptile, which
was of the garter variety, was beauti-
fully striped and two and one-half feet
long.
Mr. Spencer found the snake in a
shock of oats, and picked it up, intend,
ing to snap it's head off. While getting
a strangle hold on one head, the other
head took hold of Mr. Spencer's thumb
and then, for the first time, did he rea.
lie that the reptile had two. mouths.
The extra head is near the regular one,
and the second neck is about two
inches long.
The extra head appears blind, but
rudimentary eyes can be seen with the
aid of magnifying glass. 1t is one of
the most peculiar appearing reptiles
ever killed or captured in this land of
snakes.

Chicago.-One of the most remark

light the other day, when a deputy
clerk of the superior court, engaged
in filing papers in divorce suit, came
across the case of Mrs. Carrie Eliza
beth Ferman against Christian P. Fer
man.
Here is sentence from the bill
which only explains the case, in part:
1.-THE defendant was of such an
economical turn of mind that he at
times insisted on wearing the under
wear of your foratrix."
Judge Dupuy heard the suit and in
questioning Mrs. Ferman she said
that her husband was so stingy that
he deprived her and her young daugh.
ter, Mertie, of sufficient food and
clothing.
The parties to the suit are we'll
known in certain South side circles.
Since the wife obtained her decree of
divorce she has married one of the
department managers in large stock
yards packing concern, while the de-
PENDANT ex-husband has betaken him

One of the woman's chief distinc-
lions is her beauty, and it is said
that her husband, jealous of her
charms, concluded that the safest
plan to prevent her displaying them
was to deprive her of attractive cloth
ing and to subject her to mental oc-
cupation in their home.
When Mrs. Ferman related her
story in court she said that her hus-
band frequently pinched. her, leaving
her arms black and blue for days at a

muslin underwear to save himself the

own use. She explained. too, that she

What is to be the dominant note In
the dress of our girls in their teens?
It will probably be termed "slmpn-
city," which means, usually, that it is
simple to all but the one who is max
ing it. But we must not be hyper
critical as towords uttered by Dame
Fashion; the only question OF I'M
pertance is, are fashions pretty, and
are they moderately to be COPIED
with? The answer to these two que
ries seems to be yes" for the coming
season. No self-respecting mother
would send Miss Sixteen out into the
world in any but artistic attire, and
there is at present desperate at

invent some fashions for young folks
which will not be copied by their
mammas.
Generally speaking, the soft clinging
materials are not so becoming to the
undeveloped figure of young girl as
is taffetas, for example, and some OF
the heavier foulards-both of which
constitute excellent mediums for the
frocks of a girl in her teens. One
thing to remember is that vertical
lines for trimming are not as becoming
as horizontal ones, the gartered skirt
in moderation is to be recommended,
but to be graceful the garter" must
measure from a yard and half to
two yards in length, and should be
laced about twelve inches above the
lower edge In this way walking is
not impeded. The two-material
schemes will be In use, and are advan-

When the two materials are of the

Is not much affected, but when con-

are apparently cut off. Following the
same thought, patterned fabrics are
preferable to plain ones.
A popularity of this seasons modes
which is used both in the realm OF
Miss Sixteten and her mamma is that
of wearing a net slip instead of silk
