Mil had his sleeves rolled up to
show the mosquito bites on his mus

how he missed the last bunker

told me, Three up and four to play!"

Roberts blowing the side of a hill with
his nib1ick
He said he lost a ball there one day
last summer and he wanted it back be-
cause it belonged to a set.
Jake said he went to three in four
with that ball once, but the folks
wouldn't believe him till he showed
them the ball.
When introduced him to Clara Jane
he invited her to join the hunting
party, and intimated that I'd enjoy the

line

promised to be good.
After we trailed over the mountains,
through seven farms, across three
rivers. up the valley and down the
railroad, we finally reached the end of
the links and took the steamer back to

One of those tart little red coats

My lady friend met this gilly once

BLIND MAN CLIMBS STATUE
Goes to Top of Liberty Monument
and Is Told of Sights He
Cannot See.

Coming over from the Statue Of
Liberty in New York harbor, a pas
5senger fell into conversation with
blind man who boosted that he had
climbed to the top of the statue.

climb that pretty near tuckered NE
out was coming down the monument
in Washington Maybe you can't call
that climbing, since it was walking
down instead of up. but for a man
who cant see the coming down from
these high places is always harder
than going up.

tower IS mighty good to blind man.

couldn't see them, but woman told
me all about them, hoy they were
all packed together in the bow OF the
ship forthetr first glimpse of the city
and everything. 1 suppose some folks
wonder why a man without eyes is SC
anxious to climb 400 or 500 feet to the
top of a place that is noted for It's
view, but the charm is not all lost
and anyhow I've got the satisfaction
of saying I've been there.

Tbe Pirates of Hong-hong

From Harpers Magazine
There are pirates in Hong-hong- NOT

stranger with expansive smile and takes
what he has for worthless rubbish nor
vet the petty thieves that go by that
name ON our water-frorts, but the real
olc-fashioned, murderous kind. who count
not the victims as they reckon the spoiis
OF course they do not swagger in cos
tune as all real pirates should, or ply
their trade in Hong-Kong's immediate
waters; but among the thousands of
fishermen, stevedores and coal handlers
that crowd the harbor's edge they minste
and gossip waterfront news, knowing
well when a particularly rich cargo is due
from the interior.
And If in the purple twilight junk
darts out of one of the many estuaries
far up the West or Pearl river and
swoops with the suddenness of a hawk
on the heavily laden prize, the struggle
is short Over the hills on the naked
backs of a swarming crew the loot dis
appears forever from a smoking hulk in
the rice swamps. Or, as happened In the
case of the Sainam, half hundred take
passage in the crowded hold of a. river
steamer, and when the handful of unsus-
pecting whites gather at dinner, rises a
heathenish yell on the startled air-and
the ship is taken.

is a solution Of formalin OF fomaldehyde
In water. A spoonful OF this liquid put
into a quarter OF a pint of water and ex-

all the flies.
To clear a room where there are many
flies, burn pyrethrum powder in the
room. This stupefles the flies and they
may be swept up and burned.

Mrs A. Bruner, mother of the young
woman, makes the announcement of the
engagement at Davenport. Mr.. Gould is
in Europe, as are his father and the re-
mainder of the family.
AS Beatrice Van Bruner the .-oung
woman was formerly Davenport, Iowa,
belle, and much sought by eligible young
men of that place. She had a talent
for music and for the stage, and putting
aside all thoughts of marriage went to
Boston to take vocal study at the Con-
servatory of Music
Her beauty and her ability in amateur
productions soon brought her notice, and
she became as much sought after as
she had been at home. She was wooed
by Arthur w. Godfrey, Back Bay mil
lionaire of Boston, and the romantic
marriage In which they figured added to
her fame.
There was considerable parental oppo-
sition to the match. and this later re-
suited In a separation and divorce.
It was after she became disentangled
from her matrimonial alliance that she
went on the professional stage and APP
peared IN musical comedy.
According to the girls mother. she Is
now in London playing in a 'piiss limo
cence" company, and young Gould is
supposed also to be in the British me-
tropolis.

Entertainment at FI1tIand.


The annual entertainment of
the Phi Chi Literary Society.
which was held February 22nd,
was we'll attended, and was en-
joyed by all who were present.
Several excellent addresses were
made, but the principal feature
of the evening was the following
debate: Resolved, That Con-
gress should enact a law prohib-
ting the manufacture and sale of
intoxicating liquor in the United
States (constitu con-
ceded)."
The negative side won, main.
timing that prohibition could best
be effected by State laws and
local option, rather than by laws
passed by Congress. The speak
ers on the affirmative made ex-
cellent speeches and, though de-
feated, it was a defeat which
might almost be called victory.
Many people from Henderson,
vile were present, among whom
were Rev. r.. B. Grinnan and
Supt. w, Z. Shitle.

Reason Why This Work l Seldom

Few women can work smoothly the

be roughness and unevenness where
one eyelet joins another, and the gem
eral effect is spoiled.
The reason Of this is that the work
is not properly done. An instructor
who had a number OF natives from
the island Of Madeira exhibiting their
work in this country disclosed the .
cretaof the smooth openings
Each eyelet is outlined with cotton
in the usual way, is then slit IL the
shape be oval and pierced h round
and the edges turned back with a
needle. This is as any one would do
but in the working Of the over and
over stitch lies the difference.
Instead Of finishing each eyelet at a
time, as most of us would do, tits
worked half way around on each side
to where one opening joins the next
one. Then that eyelet is done In the
same way, and SO on around the en-
tire outer line OF the border. The
work bsthen reversed and the upper
half Of the eyelets embroidered in the
same way.
with this treatment there is no I'M
evenness, pulling or ugly ridges
