Election Of Senators.
Columbus, O.-(Special.)-W the
end OF the Joint debate between State
Chairman r. w. Hanley and Atlee
iPomerene the Ohio senatorial contest
has settled down to a direct appeal
TO the legislators themselves as the
elected representatives of the people.
Shortly after the New Year holiday
the new legislature will begin work
and then the gladiatorial combat for
the toga will begin in earnest.
Numerous favorite sons from the
four corners OF the state are mention
ed; but the chief contenders for the
honor are the state chairman and the
lieutenant governor. The details of
the procedure for choosing a senator
are unknown to the average reader
for several reasons. among them the
infrequency OF contests and the fact
that tire Legislature does the electng.
The Office itself pays salary of
$500 and the term OF the present
Incumbent, Charles Dick, expires
March 4 next. The first ballot for
the election Of senator must, as re-
qnired by law, take place Tuesday,
Jan: 10. However. as is the CUSTOM
, the dominant party and in this case
the Democrats. will caucus a few
days prior thereto and agree upon a
candidate.
Both OF the leading candidates,
Messrs. Pomerene and Hanley, have
staunch supporters in and out OF the
legislature, and some hard fighting
opponents. But insofar as the papers
opposing him are concerned, Mr.
Hanley's complaint is that they de-
MED him opportunity to answer their
charge that he was a corporation
man. Now that the debates are over
and the contest Is up to the legisla-
ture Mr.. Hanley says he stands
sduarely upon the platform OF his
own drafting, and that this brief and
pointed promise OF allegiance to the
people Of Ohio answers his accusers

accepting the last national and state

 Senator Dash of Tallapoosa prlded himself on his rise from the bottom, for Senator Dash in his youth had worked with the colored men in the cotton fields.

St. Louis.-Miss Isabel Embrey, six teen years old, who ran away from her home in Meridian, Miss, to go on the stage, was cured of her stage am- bitions after dancing in tights for two nights in the chorus of a St Louis theater She forsook the footlights and fleshings for a prosaic job in a department store. and was tearfully willing to return home with her pa rents They left with her the other day for Meridian.
 She said that she went first to Gin cinnati and played a minor part one night in the venerable drama, East Lynne As the ascent to a starship in the play proved more steep and difficult than she had expected, she left Cincinnati for St. Louis.
 Father, mother and daughter had a reunion at police headquarters, and the girl cried as she told of her ex- periences. She had been living at No. 3501 Morgan street, but gave her address as the Jefferson hotel, she said, to impress her girl friends in Meridian.

70 CHOKE A BORE

 Courtesy forced my wife and me to stand and listen to her. On these oc- casions 1 could always hear the dinner cool off
 Things came to a desperate pass one night when we had a distin- guished person from Clam Gulf dining with us. The neighbor was there and talked so long our dinner froze. Then there came loud snap from the din ing room. Willie, my youngest son. was sSrreptitiously breaking an icicle from the chickens wing. And the dis tinguished person got mad because he wanted to do the talking himself

 Walking nonchalantly toward that talking female with the funnel held carelessly in my hand, I planted my self directly in front of her and pressed one of these keys. The result was just as l had planned. The wo- mans jaw kept on moving, but she spoke soundless words, at least the only sound heard was the thud-thud of her words dropping like pebbles into this funnel

Grapes Half Devoured by Insects, Half Withered by Mildew, Being
 Gathered in France.

Paris.-A writer in the Temps draws a melancholy picture of the grape harvesting in the Champagne districts.
 "The sight presented by the Cham pagne vineyards, so animated and joyous in the times of abundant har- vests, is one of desolating sadness this year." he says. Instead of long lines of workers gathering the thick clusters, few wine growers only can be seen weighed down by implacable fate.
 And yet the grapes are being gathered, if these miserable berries half deyoured by insects, half with cred by mildew can be called grapes. They are thrown into casks and borne to the furnace, where they are burned that the eggs of the insects, the germs of the parasites may be de- stroyed and not endanger the next seasons crops.

 We may smile at our neighbor with his little 40-acre farm across the road as we look out on our own spreading acres, but with some of us the smile would be a wry one indeed if We came to compare profits at the end of the year.
 One reason why too many boys leave the farm: A traveller saw a boy hoeing potatoes in the hot sun. He rode up to the fence and asked; "What do you get for hoeing pota- toes?" The boy wearily replied as he raised his sunburned hand, Nothing if l do, but hell if don't"

ORGANIZE BOYS CORN CLUB
Some Able Addresses Delivered by Noted Speakers and Much
 Enthusiasm Aroused.

Permanent organization of state wide Boys Corn club was effected at the Texas State Fair at Dallas the other day Fifteen hundred boys came up to the exercises from about 25 counties, 19 of which have county wide organizations, and they received such an enlarged view of the possibil- ltles 1t will afford them in the imme- dIate future as they had never known before.
 Dr. A. s. Knapp, who has led the work of farm demonstration in the South for many years and who was dubbed the bishop of the Boys Corn Club movement" told the boys that MT. Colquitt had agreed to award q state diploma to every boy who raises 1OO bushels of corn 10 the acre. and that the Federal department of agri- culture would give a trip to Washing. ton to all the boys receiving state di- plomas and a diploma free from that department also. The house and sen. ate committees on agriculture have agreed to receive the boys on thair arrival at Washington. Secretary Will son will do the same, and it is thought that President Taft will give the boys an audience also.
 The boys were also enthused by the declarations of Hon. F. B. Afford of Henderson that in increasing the pro. duction of corn they were the bene- factors of the state and society in gen eral; of J. A. Evans, state agent for Louisiana and Arkansas in the dem. onstratlon work, that they were mak ing farm life more attractive than the city; of Judge Cato Sells of Cleburne that they were developing into real business men in that they were actual producers, and of E. W. KirkDatricl, of Mckinney, president of the Texas Farmers congress. that they were the chief figures in Texas today

BARS SALE BIRDS PLUMAGE
Aiqrettes Cannot Be Sold by New York MiIiners After July
 Next by Statute.

New York.-The plumage of forty three specimens of birds formerly used to decorate women's hats can not be sold by the milliners of New York state after July 1 next, accord ing to the annual report of the Ma tional Association of Audubon Socie ties.
 The most important feature of a law recently passed by the state leg stature, the report continues. is the prohibition of the sale of aigrettes. New York is one of the three greatest centers for the sale of aigrettes, the others being Paris and London.
 The aigrette is taken from the mother bird when nesting, and costs her life and the life of the young birds. The Audubon societies have been fighting for the protection of these birds fer many years.
 The passage of the so-called plu- mage bill will prevent the use of their plumage as well as that of most wild birds ot the country and all the birds native of New York state.

USE DOGS 70 SOLVE CANCER

sent here to aid in Investigating the cause of the throat disease known as 90itre, which is one of the numerous forms of cancer"
 That the cancerous disease affecting both dogs and fishes is similar in na- ture has already been established That it is identical remains to be demonstrated The relation between the two has not yet been worked out, and that is just what the scientists want to learn, among other things. Dr. Harvey R. Gaylord, who is in charge of the experiments being made, said:
 "The dogs do not contract the can cer from the fishes, it is believed, but by drinking water from the ponds where the infected fish specimens swim"
 The United States government is at present taking under consideration the advisability of establishing a per manent station here where experi- ments in connection with cancer may be made upon dogs in lieu of human beings.
