His Own Hens.

Two neighbors kept hens and quar-
relied because they scratched up each
others potato rows, says Tit-Bit.
One sold his hens, unknown to the
other, who got a large gun and fas-
tened his up, saying:
"Now, the first hen ! see in my
garden ! shall shoot"
Next day he saw a hen scratching
as usual, SO he got the gun and shot
it, then threw it over his neighbor's
rails, saying: Take your hen"
The hen was picked up, taken in
and cooked.
The following days the same thing
happened. Still the neighbor took
them up and said nothing till the
seventh came over and hit him on
the head. Then he picked it up and
threw 1t back at MS neighbor, say
ing:
Eat your old hens! We are
tired of eating them and prefer a
brace OF phcasants. sold my hens
over month SINCE"

Eorably to the packing interests. The
sudden move OF the court came as q
shock to the district attorney. 1t Is
stated that the new grand jury will

WITHOUT FOOD FOURTEEN DAYS
White Prisoner in Grcenville Jail
Puzzles Physicians.
(Greenville News, 25th.)

w. A. McGinnis, q white man, held
IN. the county Jail on charge of big
amy, has gone without food for the
past fourteen days, and the county
physician is batlled at the action Of
the prisoner.
Jailer Phillips said yesterday that
McGinnis has refused all food offer
ed him for the past fourteen days
and has taken but one glass of milk
during this time.
The county physician is at loss
to know what is the matter with the
prisoner He has been thoroughly
examined, and the physician says he
finds nothing wrong with him. Nc
Ginnis claims, however, that his en-
tire system is out Of working order.
But with this it seems that the
Dangs of hunger would make him eat
something, and for this reason the
physicians are puzzled at his action.

Boys, Buy Il Farm.
{ (YOrkville EnUuirer.) }

Boys, buy land, not for specula-
ton, but for home. Buy it as cheap
as you can and on as good terms as
you can. Don't try to buy too much
to begin with. Twenty-Five, fifty or
hundred acres will do for many of
you. And when you have bought
go In to farm it, and farm 1t right.
You have no idea how much bigger 1t
will make you to become land
owner. You will actually feel that
you are bigger and you will be big
ger. There Is no risk about land
purchase if you have a fair amount
of grit and intelligence. You can
make it pay. But even if you fail
you can't lose much. But open your
eyes, boys, and look about. The time
Is coming when the opportunity to
buy little farm will not be as good
as now. Buy farm!

The Prize Ring.
(ASheville Citizen }

Some Of the great newspapers Of
the country announce with big
flourish OF trumpets that they will
sen' special correspondents to the
cams S of the two bruisers, Jeffries
and Johnson, two weeks before the
"mill' comes off, SO that every move
mento the 'pugs" will be faithfully
chronicled to a hungry public it is
also stated that skilled physicians are
in daily attendance at the camps,
carefully watching the dieting and
training of the two men who will
meet in the prize ring July 4.
With such devotion were the com
ings and goings Of tho gladiators of
ancient Rome recorded, and so we're
the lions put in proper trim for hu-
man victims in the arena Thus our
boasted civilization IS not much
more advanced than was that of the
Romans whom, in our latter day wis
dom. we sometimes pity.
1t may be that public interest in
the coming fight is aroused by reason
Of the fact that so-called Champion
ship lies at stake between the fight
ing representatives Of two races, but
In any case thousands of good Chris
tian souls will spend valuable time
and much money to the end that they
will be Gin at the DEATH" Many Of
those who raise pious howl about
the barbarsm Of modern football will
look with approval and enjoyment on
the spectacle of two men endeavoring
to beat each other TO pulp. All of 1t
Is gently covered with a cloak Of the
manly art of self-defcnsc." Time
was when boxing was commenda-
bic part Of the schoolboy's curricu-
lum, as was wrestling, but both Of
these sports have degcneratcd into
easy channels for the gambler and
crook. The lure Of gold has invaded
the prize ring and robbed it Of the
least semblance Of fair play.

State at about $1S7,000.
He said that three counties re-
ported that 5000 white and 25O col
ored patients were being treated. A
vigorous fight will be made on the
disease, and the State is to be di-
vfded into districts for this purpose.

FOR YOUR HAIR
Here Are Facts We Want
You to Prove at Our Risk

Marvellous as it may seem, Rexall
"93' Hair Topic has grown hair on
heads that were once bald. or course
it is understood that in none of these
cases were the hair roots dead nor had
the scalp taken on glazed, shiny ap-
pearance.
When the ROOFS of the hair are en-
tirely dead and the pores of the scalp
are glazed ove,, we do not believe that
anything can restore hair growth.
When Eexal1 "e3" Hair Tonic will do
as above stated. it is not strange that
we have such great faith in it and that
we claim it will prevent badness when
used in time. 1t acts scientifically, de-
stroying the germs which are usually
responsible for badness. 1t penetrates
to the roots of the hair, stimulating g
and nourishing them. 1t is a most
pleasant toilet necessity, is delieately
perfumed and will not gum nor per-
mahently stain the hair.
We want you to get a bottle of Rex
all "93'' Hair Tonic and use 1t as di-
rected. If it does not relieve scalp ir-
ritation, remove dandruff. prevent the
hair from falling out and promote an
increased growth of hair and in every
way give entire satisfaction, simply
come back and tell us and without
question or formality we will hand
back to you every penny you paid us
for II.
We lend our endorsement to Rexall
"93" Hair Tonic and sell it on this
guarantee, because we believe it is the
best hair tonic ever discovered. 1t
comes in two sizes, prices so cents and
$10O Remember you can obtain 1t
only at The Owl Drug Co. Inc, 71o

and Grant avenue. 943 Kearny street

anti FRAT Law
CLASS LEGISLATION
Attorney Argues That Act Is
Discriminatory and There
fore Unconstitutional

The constitutionality of the act of
the last legislature prohibiting the ex-
istence of fraternities or sororities in
elementary and secondary schools was
argued before Judge Seawell yester-
day on the demurrer in the case of
Doris Bradford, the student who was
suspended from the girls high school
for membership in the Omega Nu. L..
r. Weinmann, young attorney, who is
himself a member of several fraterni-
ties, attacked the law in an argument
that seemed favorably to impress the
court and the constitutionalfty of the
act was upheld by j. F. English of the
city attorneys office.
Weinmann argued that the law was
class legislation and discriminatory in
that 1t does not apply to all public
schools nor to all fraternities. The
act itself exempts certain fraternal So
cieties mot directly connected with
the public schools" He also argued
that the statute is faulty because it
stops students from joining the frater-
mites and sororities, but does not meet
the case of a student who joins one be-
fore coming to school.
That the title of the act does not ac-
cord with the act itself was another
contention made by Weinmann. The
title refers to secret oathbound soci-
eties.' but the word "oathbound" is
not in the body of the law. Some Sc
cret societies are not oathbound, Vein
mann pointed out, referring to some
with which he is affiliated, and the act
itself does not reach all. he argued.
Il am inclined to think you are right
under your Interpretation of the title,''
observed Judge Seawell.
English replied that the word "or''
might be understood as occurring be-
tween "oathbound" and secret" He
also contended that the word oath
bound" should be regarded as surplus
in the title. The act, English said. was
clearly within the power of the legis-
1ature to regulate school discipline and
scholarship, and he cited decisions from
other states in which the courts have
pointed out the danger of snobbishness
among students and lack of respect for
the school authorities as a result of
these student organizations.
Judge Seawell took the matter under
advisement.

WOMAN Detective
TRAPS HERSELF
Own Testimony in Divorce Suit
Involves Eva Handman in
Criminal Conspiracy

Eva Handman, a detective employed
to gather evidence against the hus-
band in the divorce suit of Thirza j.
McRae against Donald McRae, laid
herself open to charge of criminal
conspiracy by her testimony yester-
day before Judge John E. Raker of
Modoc county, sitting in place of Judge
sturteyant. She admitted scheming to
lead McRae into trap with another
woman, who was her assistant, to pro-
vide Mrs. McRae with legal grounds
for divorce.
The assistant, Miss Osborne, was en-
ployed to go to a hotel at 1884 Ellis
street with McRae, and there they were
found by the wife the night OF Decem-
Der 20, 1907.
DO I understand you to say that
you and Miss Osborne arranged that
she should induce McRae to go with
her to the hotel and that the date and
time should be fixed so that the wife
would find them there?" asked Judge
Raker.
"Yes." admitted Miss Handman. "Of
course. I said as little as 1 could to
Miss Osborne, but l suggested TO her
that / wanted her and McRae to be
caught in room together. l have
been IL years in my profession OF de-
tectiye and l have my own methods
ITO my mind this Is plainly case
of criminal conspiracy said the judge.
II direct the official stenographer to
transcribe the. witness testimony and
submit it to the district attorney, who
should investigate the circumstances TO
ascertain whether a charge of con-
spiracy does not lie against this wit
ness and Miss Osborne
Miss Handman said she did not know
| the Osborne woman's first name nor
her present address. 1t was also stated
| by the witness that Mrs. McRae's at
| torney at that time was concerned in
| the plot. Mrs. McRae has since en-
ployed different counsel.
McRae is a furniture dealer and
| speculator in lodging houses. His wife
| testified that she suspected him of mis-
| conduct with other women, but the
escapade with the Osborne woman
seemed to be the only charge she was
able to sustain. William McRae, a son
| of the parties, testified that his father
| had admitted wrongdoing. The trial
| will be resumed this morning.
