Nearly all diseases of poultry can

that left two people over-we didn't

SYNOPSIS.

James Wilson or Jimmy as he is called
by his friends. Jimmy was rotund and
looked shorter than he really was. His
ambition in life was to be taken seriously,
but people steadily refused to do so, his
art is considered huge joke, except to
himself. If he asked people to dinner ev-
eryone expected frolic. Jimmy marries
and are divorced. Jimmy's friends ar
range to celebrate the first anniversary
OF his divorce. Those who attend the
party are Miss Katherine McNair, who
every one calls Kit, Mr.. and Mrs. Dallas
Brown, the Misses Mercer, Maxwell Reed
and Mr.. Thomas HARRISON. South
American civil engineer. The party Is in
full swing when Jimmy receives tele-
gram from his Aunt Selma, who will ar
rive in four hours to visit him and his
wife. Jimmy gets his funds from Aunt
Selma and after he marries she doubles
MS allowance. He neglects to tell her or
his divorce, as she is opposed to it. Jim
my takes Kit into his confidence. he tries

refuses, but is finely prevailed upon to

deception works out as planned, as she

with spots. Bella, Jimmy's divorced wife,
enters the house and asks Kit who is be-
Ing taken away in the ambulance? Bella
insists 1t is Jim. Kit tells her Jim is well
and is in the house. Bella tells Kit it
wasn't Jim she wanted to see, but Taxa
hira, the Jap servant. as she wished to
secure his services. HARRISON steps out
on the porch and discovers a man tacking
a card on the door. He demands an ex-
planadon. The man points to the placard
and HARRISON sees the word Smallpox"
printed on it. The man tells him he is
an officer of the board of health and
tells him the house is under quarantine
and that the guests will have to remain
in the house until after the quarantine is
lifted. The guests suddenly realize their
predicament, the women shed tears, the
men consider it a good joke. HARRISON
pleads with Kit to tell him the real stu
alton of things. She finally tells him of
Bella's incarceration in the basement.

But 1 said it would be of no use, as

and that the HARRISON man had GER

At seven o'clock Jimmy Wilson
pounded at my door, and could have
choked him joyfully. l dragged my
self to the door and opened it, and
then l heard excited voices. Every
body seemed to be up but Aunt Selma,
and they were all talking at once
Anne Browne was in the center of
the group, waving her hands, while
Dallas was trying to hook the back of
her gown with one hand and hold a
blanket around himself with the other.
No one was dressed except Anne, and

No one spoke for an instant 1t was
a queer situation, for the collar was

true. And there we stood, every one

A Foe of Arbitration,

In the Outlook, Mr.. Roosevelt re-
turns to the attack on the Taft peace
policy. He has evidently set himself
the patriotic duty Of defeating arbi-
tration, and does not care how, pro-
vided he succeeds.
The matter before the country is
the specific treaty negotiated. 1t is
not imaginary difficulties about ''our
vital interests or our independence
or our honors" such as it may please
Mr.. Roosevelt to conjure up in order
to confuse the public mind. 1t is a
question of fact
The Alabama Claims dispute af-
fected our vital interests, our indie
pendence and our honor. 1t could
easily have been made an excuse for
war. But it was successfully arbi-
trated at Geneva, The terms Of the
decision in favor Of the United States
were faithfully executed by the loser.
Was it mot merely foolish but wick
ed for us as a nation to agree to ar
bitrate" in that case? Would it be
in a similar case?
Mr.. Roosevelt insists that there
shall be no more general arbitration,
but that the decisions of arbitration
as to law and fact in limited cases
should stand only if not rejected
within certain time by one party or
the other; on the part Of the United
States "by the President and the

tants and making them responsible
for what Tom Watson writes. From
the way you represent Watson, you
beat him two in the game in the use
of ugly names, and yet you have
the effrontery to say let's do things
fairly. Why don't you deny Mr..
Watson's statements over your own
name and discuss with him this is
sue? We know why! It's anything
else you want discussed than this
thing that you try to cover up.
Of course, Baptists do not accept
your raving against the Protestant
ministry, for We existed at least 600
years before Catholicism was born,
hence we didn't come out of Rome.
The people now wearing the name
Baptists, are, Mosheim says, "The
only people having kept pure the
doctrines of the Bible and ordinan-
ces from the days of the Apostles
until now
Let Protestants rest, Mr.. Johnson,
and offer to discuss your church
claims with Baptists if you want a
real engagement, and the Baptists
will furnish the man.-The Baptist

" The Shame of Il"

Under the above caption, Rev.
Lucien Johnson writes a 16-page
tract lambasting and cursing out
Tom Watson for his impudence in
telling the truth about Catholics 1t
is evident that Watson hit a sore
place, Or this Catholic priest would
not have so WINGED under his fire.
He comes out plainly and says Tom
Watson has lied on Catholics. That
is plain talk, as Southern peo-
pie understand it, but when Tom
Watson gave the record affirming
the things he wrote, why does not
Mr.. Johnson offer some rebuttal ar
gument and show wherein Watson
has lied? No. Mr.. Johnson knows
himself, that Tom Watson has given
the facts in the case treated, and he
darkens counsel so that his people
can't see the cloven foot of Catholi-
cism which Tom Watson is making
bare. Southern people think as they
read, Mr.. Johnson, and they can see
your failure to answer Mr.. Watson,

Senate or perhaps the President and

Arbitration is an appeal to reason
and common sense. 1t cannot make
weak case strong case or a bad
case a good case 1t can only ac-
complish justice and right between
nations as other tribunals do be-
tween individuals. There can never
be any international system of arbi-
tration, such as Mr.. Roosevelt seems
to want, which will always give the
United States the better of justifiable
