EASTER BONNET
WAS UGLY, MAN SAID

Chicago, April 2.-Mary Black
bought a new Easter bonnet.
1t was a trifle dear-Mary admits
this-but it was so awfully good look
ing.
Frank Denman, Mary's fiance, did
not like it.
He did not hesitate to say he didn't
like it, either. In fact, he chose the
corner of Sixty-third street and Jack
son avenue Sunday evening for that
purpose and used so many adjectives
to give emphasis to his expression that
finally a detective from Woodlawn sta
ton arrested Frank, Mary and the hat.
Monday morning Municipal Judge
Fry fined Frank 81 and discharged
Mary. Whereupon Mary delivered her
self of an unsolicited testimonial re-
garding young men who do not like
young aides hats and cause them to
be arrested, and Frank is now no Ion
ger engaged to be married.
Deaman lives at 6309 Cottage Grove
avenue and Miss Black played piano
in a nickel show near there.

FARMERS TO- HAVE
SEED SEED cCtG j;a}NN PATCH
Five Acre Tract to Be Guilt.
waited to Secure Best Possible
Seed Corn.

Extra, Ia, April 2~.-Professor Bow
man is receiving assurances all along
the line of the Rock Island railroad that
his suggestion for Iowa farmers to es-
tablish a fve-acre seed patch in order
to have good seed corn in future years
will be adopted. The farmers have
learned by experience hat it is a big
job to hunt over 60, so or 100 acres for
the choicest ears of corn and Professor
Bowinan's plan to have the best seed
planted in a special five-acre tract
would make it possible for them to Sc
cure their seed ears in a few minutes
and by walking over a small tract of
ground.
Il believe the possibilities of this plan
are immense" declared Professor Bow
nan today. Heretofore we have paid
absolutely no attention to corn breed
ing. Farmers have thought nothing of
paying 5000 or $500 or even 81, 900 for
good live stock in order to build up the
standard n type of their herds, but
they have thought that 81 Or SO Oh S.
for a bushel of seed corn was outrage
Gus. Why, / had a man tell me in
Guthrie Center yesterday that he had
paid $1.40 for a bushel of seed corn
as though that were a big sum. Now a
bushel of seed corn will plant seven
acres, so that his seed cost him only 20
cents an acre. Iowa farmers are spend
ing two or three times $1.40 for oats to
plant an acre and the oats crop has
never been profitable in Iowa.
by this it is not to be taken that
l am arguing that Iowa farmers should
pay big prices for their seed corn, but
l do contend that they should be on
sistent and devote to corn growing
some of the shrewdness and the money
they devote 10 live stock breeding and
other phases of farm life"
The Holden seed corn special over
the Rock Island spent last night at
Atlantic. Today lectures were deliv-
cred at Audubon and Extra. The train
will return to Atlantic, where a lecture
will be delivered this evening The at
tendance continues large.

the isolation hospital here have joined
in a petition to the San Francisco
board Of supervisors asking that steps
be taken to have the board of health
rescind it's action in removing DIR. John
Atcherly from attendance upon them.
The petition recites a pathetic story
of WEAKNESS and loneliness that is sus-
tanned only by the hope that the sign
ers may be benefited and ultimately
cured Of their dread malady.
Ever since our imprisonment, which
has been from three months to eight
years." the appeal states, 1--WE have
had no systematic treatment until DR..
Atcherly gave III his attention. The
other physicians have plainly shown
their disinclination to come in contact
with us. The results are that we have
been left here to rot and die like an

HER WHITE STOCKINGS
MAKE 4 Blue : MONDAY
They Attract Man Passing by
Porch and Violent Flirta-
ton Follows.

New York, April "A Irritation
that began because MRS. Isabelle Du-
any, of 1916 Bedford ave-, the
Bronx. wore white stockings and low
shoes to match one day last summer
at Rye Beach resulted yesterday in the
granting Of a decree of divorce to Reu-
ben w. Duany. Justice Mccall forbade
her to marry again.
The Duanys were ma 'ried in Janu-
airy, 1907. Last summer the wife COM
planned that she could not ear the hot
weather in the city and her husband
sent her to Rye Beach. She took a
room in a large cottage there and
trouble began. Frederick Schneider,
who lived in the same cottage, testified
that one day she went to Portchester
and came home with a new pair of
white stockings and a pair of low shoes
to match. She put them on in the eve-
ming and sat on the front porch.
How the Filtration Started.
Along came Harold Richards. See
ing the white shoes and hose he
stopped and commented upon them.
Mrs. Duany said something in reply
n a conversation began. Soon Rich
ards assembled the steps and seated
himself beside Mrs, Duany. Schneider,
seated at the other end of the porch,
saw Richards stoop, pull off ona of her
shoes and throw it to her little dog
on the lawn. Mrs. Duany laughed n
chased the dog.
A few nights afterward Schneider
went out on the porch about IL o'clock
n vas surprised to see Mrs. Duany
sitting on Richards lap with her arms
ahout his neck She again had on tho
white shoes and stockings. Schneider
called several persons to the porch n
Mrs. Duany jumped to her feet.
Schneider told of other doings that
convinced the justice that she had not
acted discretely at the cottage.
She Stumbled Into His Lap.
Mrs. Duany denied Indignantly that
she had been guilty of improper con-
duct with Richards. on the night Of
the chair episode, she said, she was
passing along the porch in front of
Richards when she stumbled and fell
into his lap. He pulled her head down
and kissed her several times. AS he
would not release her, she made the
most of the situation n sat there a
few minutes"
Then fire bells began to ring and sew
eral men, including Schneider, rushed
up on the porch and exclaimed,
We've got you right now"
Justice Mccall said he did not be-
lieve all her story.

MENELIK H., KING OF
ABYSSlNIA, IS DEAD
Prince Lidj Jeassu, Aged IA.
Grandson of Dead Monarch,
Heir to Throne.

Ads Abeba, Abyssinia, April o.
Menelik, H., king of Abyssinia, is dead
at the age of &C years. and in the
t~wenty-first year OF his reign.
The king was stricken with apoplexy
last fall and never recovered his health.
For many weeks his death has been
expected.
When he was able no longer to carry
on the affairs of state, Ras Tesame,
with the approval Of the principal
chiefs, took over the reins of gov
eminent. At the same time EN-
press Taitou vas deprived of all power
of interference in the government and
her appointments made among her ia
vorites were annulled.
Prince Lidj Jeassu, grandson of the
late monarch, is heir to the throne.
Prince Lidj Jeassu was proclaimed
heir to the throne On May Is asst. He
is Ia years old and little less than a
year ago was married to the grand
daughter, aged Z years, of the late
Emperor John, and niece of Empress
Taitou.
The empress has been imprisoned by
the followers of the crown prince.
The ancient empire of Abyssinia of
ETHIOPIA includes the kingdoms of
Tigre, Amhara, Shoa, with other ter
ritories and dependencies. It's area is
200, 600 square miles and the population
is estimated at between 5000, 900 and
II, 900, 900.
Menelik was elected king by the
Abyssinia chieftains over Ras Mangas-
ha. He claimed to be q direct aasaAn-
dant Of solomon by the queen of Sheba
and styled himself "Conquering Lion
of the Tribe of Juda, elect of the Sa-
vior, King of Kings OF Ethiopia"
Mcneil refused to acknowledge tho
domination of Italy eel his country
and compelled the italian army to
capitulate at Adowa in 1896. when a
treaty was signed recognizing the abso-
Lutte independence of Abyssinia.
Since then peace has crowned Meme
lk's policy toward foreign powers and
the country has ~prospered with the in
PRODUCTION of improved methods of gov
rnmen and commerce.
London, March 30.-Today's report
that King Menelik is dead appears ia
come by way of Alden, Arabia, and il
is thought here that possibly it is only
a repetition of the rumors of the mon
arch's death which have been current
for some days. Commercial interests
which are In direct touch through their
agencies with Adds Abeba, received nc
information of the report today.

When your hat skips off alone
For to travel on it's own,
Like a bird that blithely sails the at

When the air is filled with objects rich

When the dust-heaps all arise
And go s~cooting toward the skies,
Spreading pretty little every
where;
When the loyal son of good old sainted
Puts a little sprig Of shamrock in his hat.
And his manly chest is seen
Decked in ribbon brightly green,
And the Orangeman finds business rather

When the millinery centers all are gay
With the coming styles TO bloom on Eas-

And the shops the whole day long
Hold a struggling, striving throng

And your furry overcoat begins to moult-

At such odds as you can get
That the merry month of March is taking
