GUINEA PICS As
LAWN MOWERS

A curious and most successful ex-
pertinent is being made on a number
of private lawns in Kent, England,
and is about to be tried by a golf
club in the neighborhood OF Green
hithe. The idea is the novel one of
substituting the guinea pig for the
moving machine and weed killer.
Round the lawn is arranged a low
wire barrier, and into the Enclosure
are turned a number of guinea pigs;
Or better, passage is made from
their hutch to the lawn. The ami
mails at once attack all the worst
weeds-the plantains first, then the
dandelions and daisies. These broad
leaved plants, which no moving ma
chine will touch, are killed by the
persistent cutting of the guinea pig
teeth.
When they have finished the
weeds, which are broad leaved and
succulent, they proceed to the grass.
In a short time the lawn looks as if
I it had been cut by the closest ma
chine. No harm is done to the grass.
A visit to one such lawn which had
been a mass of weeds showed only
the finer grasses growing. Half of
another where the guinea pigs had
! been first set to work was cut quite
evenly and close. For playing it was
as fast again as it had been under
the administration of the moving
machine. and not weed was visible.
The other half, where the animals
had just been turned loose, was a
mass Of dandelion.
In this neighborhood it was found
that the guinea pigs did not suffer
, at all by being left to the work in
winter as we'll as in summer. In.
deed they were healthier than under
the usual treatment of those who
keep them as pets. An astonishing
demand for the animals has grown
up in the neighborhood, and if the
American golf clubs, which have
great difficulties with plantain, take
to the new method, the guinea pig
population is likely to go up in the
ratio that the natural fertility of the
animal suggests.

show of Withdrawing, but improved
the opportunity afforded by rather a
deep ditch on the roadside to attempt
to conceal himself and his horse there
for a time from General Lee, who at
that moment was more to be dreaded
than the enemy's guns.
When, June %, the seven days
strife began (the battles of Oak Grove,
Mechanicsyille, Gaines Mill, Savages
Station, Fraziers farm and Malvern
hill, as a result of McClellan's change
of base to the James river after the
battle of Seven Pines, or Fair Oaks)
there was none of the excitement that
had attended the battle of Seven
Pines. People had shaken them
selves down, as it we're, to the grim
reality of a fight that must be fought.
Let the war bleed, and let the mighty
fall, was the spirit of their cry. It is
not my purpose to deal with the his
tory of those awful seven days. Mine
only to speak of the other side of that
canvas in which heroes of two armies
were passing and repassing, as on
some huge Homeric frieze, in the
maneuvers of a strife that hung our
land in mourning
What l have said of Richmond be-
fore these battles will suffice for a pic
ture of the summers experience.
When the tide of battle receded, what
wrecked hopes it left to tell the tale
of the Battle Summer! Victory was
ours, but in how many homes was
heard the voice of lamentation to
drown the shouts of triumph Many
families, rich and poor alike, were be-
reaved of their dearest, and for many
of the dead there was mourning by all
the town.
No incident of the war, for instance,
made deeper impression than the
fall in battle of Colonel Munford's
beautiful and brave young son, Ellis,
whose body, laid across his own Gals
son, was carried that summer to his
fathers house at nightfall, where the
members of the family, unconscious
of their loss, were sitting in cheerful
talk around the portal Another son
of Richmond, whose death was keenly
felt by everybody, received his mortal
wound at the front of the first charge
to break the enemy's line at Gaines
Mill. This was Lieut.. Col. Bradfute
Warwick, young hero who had won
his spurs in service with Garibaldi.
Losses like these are irreparable in
any community, and so, with Iamenta-
tons in nearly every household, while
the spirit along the lines continued
unabated, it was a chastened ''Thank
God" that went up among us when we
knew the siege of Richmond was over.

thing like welcome or cordially. In
an instant, and without allowance OF
opportunity for word from the pres
dent, the general, looking not at him
but at the assemblage at large, asked
in a tone of irritation:
"Who are all this army of people,
and what are they doing here?"
No one moved or spoke, but all eyes
were upon the president; everybody
perfectly understood that this was
only an order for him to retire to a
place of safety, and the roar of the
guns, the rafting fire of musketry,
and the hustle of a battle in progress,
with troops continually arriving across
the bridge to go into action, went on.
The president twisted in his saddle,
quite taken aback at such a greeting
the general regarding him now with
glances Of growing severity. After a
painful pause the president said, dep
recatingly: ut is not my army, gen.
eral" ut certainly is not my army,

ply, land this is no place for tin

Such a rebuff was a sumner to Mr..
Davis, who, however, soon regained
his serenity and answered:
We'll, general, if I withdraw, per-
haps they will follow" and, raising his
hat in another cold salute, he turned
his horses head to ride slowly toward
the bridge, seeing, as he turned, man

got range of the road
The presidents own staff of officers
followed him, as did various others,
but he presently drew rein in a

bushes concealed him from General
Lees repelling observation, and there
remained while the battle ragged. The

He was tall, erect, slender and of a

Of demeanor of stately courtesy to
all. He was clad always in Confeder-

with wide brim. Afoot his step was
| brisk and firm; in the saddle he rode
admirably and with martial aspect.
His early life had been spent in the
Military Academy at West Point. and
on the then northwestern frontier in
the Black Hawk war, and he afterward
greatly distinguished himself at Mon

the time when we knew him every

He was reported to feel quite out of

Lee always spoke of him as the best
of military advisers. His own inclin-

was in the saddle and off for the spot,
to the dismay of his staff officers, who
were expected to act as an escort on
such occasions, and who never knew
at what hour of the night or of the
next day they should get back to bed
or to a meal
The stories we were told of his adj
ventures on such excursions were
many and sometimes amusing. For
instance, when General Lee had
the Chickahominy, President
Davis, with several staff officers, over
took the column and, with the secre-
tary of war and few other noncom-
batants, forded the river just as the
battle of Mechanicsville began June
26). General Lee, surrounded by
members of his own staff and other Of

PARIS, France, June 29.-What is
considered by many commentators
one of the most remarkable pleas for
universal peace yet delivered was
made by Anatole France last night at
the gala celebration commemorate
ing the first peace conference at The
Hague. NJ. France, who is generally
acknowledged to be the greatest of
living Frenchmen of letters, first ex-
planned that in ancient times war was
necessity and that civilization was
founded upon it.
But" he continued, 1T is no longer
necessary, because it is no longer
capable of compensating the conquer
ors for their losses and because indus
try has become the sole conqueror.
Universal peace will be realized, not
because men will be better--this we
are not permitted to hope-but be-
cause a new order of things, a new
science and new economic necessities,
which we have seen born and grow
will impose upon men a pacific state
just as formerly the conditions of ex-
istence imposed and maintained a
state of war.

BECOMING
MENACE TO SHEEP
Breeders Association Lobby for In
crease in Bounty by
Counties.

Wolves are multiplying so rapidly
in Iowa that they are becoming dan
gerous menace to the sheep raising
industry of the state. according to the
statements of the officers of the Iowa
State Breeders and Wool Growers as
ISOLATION, who appeared before the
house committee on agriculture in
support Of bills by Byerly of Jones
and Beans of Mahaska, providing for
an increase In the wolf bounty from
S. to 500.
Not only are the wolves menacing
the sheep growing industry. but they
also kill all live stock and it is feared
that they will commence to attack
small children. say the sheep men.
There are 1000 adult wolves in the
state at present and the number is
rapidly increasing, according to sta
tistics The number is greater than it
has been for three years.
All the sheep breeders and growers
related their experiences with wolves
that preyed upon the lambs in their
folds They asked that the bounty be
raised to such an extent as to justify
hunters in making determined eff
fort to exterminate the state of the
animals.
Among the sheep owners and breed
ers who spoke in favor of the bill
were the following: G. W. Moore of
Cedar, president OF the association;
A. j. Blakely of Grinnell, vice presi-
dent: v. G. Warner of Bloomfield
