How Scott Bore Adversely.

Once when I was staying with Mr.
Ruskin he took delight in showing me
his Scott manuscripts. He took down
woodstock" from the shelf, and. turn.
ing the leaves over slowly and loving
ly, he said: IT think this is the most
precious of them all. Scott was writ
ing this book when the news of his
ruin came upon him. He was about
here. where l have opened 1t. DO you
see the beautiful handwriting? Now
look as turn over the pages toward
the end. Is the writing. one jot less
beautiful? Are there more erasures
than before? That assuredly shows
how man can and should bear adj
yersity. "-London Graphic.

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank S. Aldrin,
daughter, Miss Anna, and son, Fred,
most pleasantly entertained the
members of the Burton Farmers
club at their hospitable home, Thurs
day, July z.
Owing to the absence of the presi-
dent, c. e. Potter acted as chairman.
The club opened with an old song,
20. Come, Come Away" followed by
the devotional exercises conducted
by the chaplain, Mrs. Hammond.
| By vote Mr. and Mrs. John Sher-
man were reinstated as members OF
the club.
mously carried that the Burton
Farmers club go on record as OPP
posed to the exhibition of pictures of
prize fights in our moving picture
shows.
At this time the topics and ques-
lions were taken up.
What is the best food for little
chicks?" Mrs. Hammond feeds her
little chicks bread and milk for two
or three weeks after which she gives
them wheat or cracked corn. Mrs.
CARRIER feeds the bread dry and gives
them plenty of water to drink for
four weeks then the wheat and
cracked corn. Mrs. Giles likes the
steel cut oat meal as a feed for little
chicks.
Should our divorce laws be more
strict?" One believes If the divorce
laws were more strict, fewer couples
would get married. Another thinks
the home training should be bet
tered and another believes we should
have strict national divorce laws.
(Which is the best way to make
way to make hay, the old or the
new?" Mr.. Aldrin thinks the new
way is the cheapest, easiest and
quickest, hence the best. The hay is
just as good and sells for just as
much. A loader and rake will pay
for themselves in two years.
Should the highways be used for
testing autos and auto trucks?" A
most spirited discussion followed on
this question, but all doubt whether
the auto or auto truck has any right
to plow up the roads and run faster
than the law allows when testing
their machines on our country roads.
''lf you were to build a new chick
en- house, which would you build,
wood or cement?" Neither Mrs. Gar
Der nor G.. c. Potter have had any
but wood hen houses and like them
very well. Mr.. Fauth told of a neigh
boris chicken house which is made of
cement. 1t is built very nicely but
proves to be unsatisfactory because
of the dampness, Mrs. Moulton said
That they had had small chicken
houses built without any floor so
they could be moved TO any field,
and had found them very successful
How can we keep flies from the
house," Mrs. Hammond says we
should keep every door and window
screened and the premises round
about the house clean. Mrs. Half
says she has read that flies would
never go where there was a hop vine
growing. Mrs. Fauth says sweet
peas and sweet clover are disagree
able to flies. Messrs. Fauth and
Sprinkle say the fly knocker proves
very satisfactory about the barns
and threaten to make use of it about
the house.
Mrs. Clayton Potter sang for us
and Miss Aldrin favored us with two
selections of music.
After Mrs. Fauth had announced
the program for the August meeting
the club was changed to meet Friday
August 5, with Mr.. and Mrs. w. j.
Brookins.

MacauIay as a Child.

Thomas Darlington Macaulay should
perhaps have ranked with the uni
versal geniuses, but it is true that his
precocious gift was largely in the di-
rection of literature. He read inces-
sanity from the age Of three. At seven
he had composed very fair COM
pendulum Of universal history from the
creation to 1900 At eight he had
written treatise destined to convert
the natives of Malabar to Christianity.
AS a recreation from this weighty
work he wrote In the same year a ro-
nance In the style of Scott in three
cantos, entitled 1.-The Battle of Chew
lot" A little later came long poem
on the history of Olaf Magnus and a
vast pile of blank verse entitled Elm
gala Poem In Twelve Books" But
he disfiked mathematics and did not
pass his examinations in that subject,
thus standing out among all child
prodigies. His memory was such that
he, literally never could forget any
thing and after twenty years could
repeat bits Of poetry read only once.

DETAILED STORY OF
UNCLE JOE'S" DEFEAT

WASHINGTON, Jan. THE house
of representatives today, after par
liamcntary battle, in which combina-
ton of lnsurgent Republicans and Dem
ocrats defeated the Republican organ
ization, adopted joint resolution pro
vidlng for an investigation of the
interior department Of the forestry bu-
reau The resolution provides for an
investigation 10 be conducted by Joint
committee of the house and the senate.
The defeat of the Cannon organiza-
ton came in the adoption by a vote
of $40 to l46 of an amendment provid-
ing that house members OF the Joint
committee be appointed by the house
itself and not by Speaker Cannon. ,
As soon as the president s special
message had been read in the house
today. Chairman Dalzell Of the rules
committee brought in a privileged rcso
luton providing for the immediate con
sIderaion OF the joint investigation
resolution introduced several days ago
bv Representative Humphrey of Wash

MIR. Dalzell explained that, after its
adoption by the senate and its sigma
ture by the president, the Joint rcsolu"
tion viii become a law, giving the in
vestigating committee power to summon
witnesses and compel them 10 testify.

nc has been too active against land
thieves and land grabbcrs, and so as
TO deal only with the grave charges
made against the official integrity and
personal honor of a member OF the
president IS cabinet (Mr. Ba]linger)
Mr., Fitzgerald said he thought il be.
the president 10 investigate member
of his cabinet, and therefore he was
opposed to a Joint resolution which
would require the executive 8 sigma
ture.

ter 10 Senator Jones, asking that the
forest service he included in the pro.
posed inquiry. Mr.. Fitzgerald objected

the character of tho inquiry.
Amendments Proposed,
Mr. Fitzgerald offered two amend,
ments to the pending resolution aimed
TO eliminate the forest bureau from the
proposed investigation.
REPRESENTATIVE Norris of Nebraska
said that the proposed investigation
was such m important matter that he
believed the SIX members of the com,
nittee 70 represent the house should
bc elected by that body instead Of being
sppointd by the speaker, and he Of
fero1 an amendment 10 that effect
Representative Hitchcock of Nebraska
questioned the right of Mr., Ballineer

that he had administered the forest
service entirely within the limits of
the law, but elf this were the case, ~
said the speaker, "there are some laws
IN the country that are in sad need
of Amerlcanization.'
Under Hot Fire.
Representative Martin was over.
whelmed by a series of pointed aues.
tions from both Republican and Demo
cratic sides. Representative Sims Of
Tennessee wanted to know why Mr.
Taft retained in office "such a man
as you describe Mr.. Pinchot to be. y
Representative Martin replied:
There were indications that that of

which looked like offenses.

''Pcrnicious Activity"
Representative Underwood of Ala.
bama opposed extending the inquiry to
the forest service. He said the only
possible charge against Pinchot was
pernIcious activity in protecting the
public lands of the United States He
asked, if the investigation were to be
extended, whether the treasury depart.
ment was not included. so as to en-.
brace the sugar frauds. Mr.. Under.
wood said the men selected for the pro.
posed committee should include repre-.
sentatives Of the minority instead of
merely the selections of the majority
Representative Scott of Kansas con.
cluded the debate in favor of the adop-
tion of the resolution. He declared he
spoke as a personal friend of Mr.. Pin
chot when he stated that the scope Of
the resolution was no broader than Mt
Pinchot desired nor the country de.
manded.
The Norris amendment providing for
the appointment Of the six house mem
bers of the committee by the house
was then voted upon and was adopted
by an aye and nay vote of l49 to l46.
