and their wives at zone o'clock dinner
in honor of Mrs. Wilmarth's father
and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. j. S. Pier

were set on the lawn under the trees
and the whole yard handsomely
decorated with bunting and flags.
The dinner was complete in every
particular. After dinner there was
music recitatiOns and story telling.
We said "old soldiers" but if you
could have seen and heard that COM
pany last Friday you would agree
with us that the "old soldiers
are quite young at times. The affair
closed with an auto ride to Lake
Preston and return after four o'clock.
Another very pleasant feature was the
fact that several of those present were
in the same company with Mr.. Pier
son through the war.

tree is used. 1t is tied on with some.
kind Of cord, care being taken to tie,
it firmly SO it will stay. There are;
many other methods of protecting
trees than the above, two of which
are here described. These are as foil
lows:
Paint the trunks of the trees with
lime wash made rather thick, to
which has been added about one-half
pound of arsenate of lead to each
pailful Of wash. The lime wash is
made in the usual manner by mixing
lime and water After adding thd
arsenate Of lead the whole mixture|
should be thoroughly stirred to mix
the poison with the wash. This wash
is put on with an ordinary paint brush
and the trunk of the tree should be
covered as high as the rabbits can
reach. 1t should be renewed if there
is any indication of injury to the trees
by rabbits. One-half pound of paris
green may be substituted for the ar,
senate of lead.
The trunks of the trees are wrapped
with paper, the paper being tied on
with corn to hold it in place. Old
newspapers may be used for the above
purpose, the care necessary being to
see that the paper entirely covers the
trunk of the tree high enough to pre-.
vent the rabbits reaching the exposed
portion above the paper.

took of breakfast of hemp rope
and started out for little recreation
from Il shed in the rear of DIG Fowler
street. 1t was fortunate incident
for several persons who met Mr.. Goat
that they had eaten their breakfasts
before leaving home, thus avoiding
tho trouble of eating from the mantel
or top of the kitchen cabinet. The
animal was in joyful mood. and lib
erty and fresh air made him risky.
The goat made no distinction as to
sex. In his playfulness he enjoyed
seeing woman just as much as n
man. and the result was that two
women were badly frightened and
shocked by having their bonnets
shaken violently when they felt Il
sudden shock from the rear.
1t was stated to the police that one
man was shaken loose from his false
teeth by the unexpected greeting of
the goat. but the bcyclemen who in
vestigated failed to learn his name.
Clara Langsdale, 40 East Eleventh
street. made the acquaintance of the
goat. according to the police. and, al
though given a jolt by the animal, she
maintained her footing and escaped
injury.

After weeks Of experiment, Higgins,

pounds the surgeons had frowned

But Higgins couldn't get fat. He

shook their heads ominously. The
same doctors who fired him for being
too thin and too tall for such thinness
would. they declared, keep him off the
force now that it seemed he would
never get fatter.
Determined to make last des-
perate effort 10 regain his position and
resume his beloved work, Higgins,

CT. LOUlS.-Dismissed from the po-
~ lice force because he was too thin
to present formidable appearance
to offending humanity, John Higgins,
although not one whit larger In cir
conference and just as tall as he ever
was, has been restored to his job.
1t was merely question OF the po-
lice board coming around to Higgins
viewpoint.
In the Dayton street district Higgins
had record which his superior off,
GERS declared any policeman should be
proud of. He never shirked: was al
ways or his beat; was a terror to
evildoers, and loved police work as
few patrolmen of st. Louis live 1t.
But the police surgeons didn't see
It that way when Higgins came be.
fore them for examination. They cast
whitening eye upon him. looked at
each other and shook their heads.
Higgins was fired.
Not enough weight to SO great an
altitude was the verdict of the sur
geons.
Encouraged by the plaudits of his
superior police officers, Higgins went
away to get fat. He ate often and
