WOMAN SMOKER ON .
NEW HAVEN TRAIN
NonchaIantIy Puffed at Cigarette in
the Smoking Car

New Haven, April 24-A fashion,
ably dressed middle-aged woman
strolled into the smoker of the Shore
Line express for New York Saturday
afternoon and startled the male pas
sengers by nonchalantly opening a
silver cigarette case, extracting there
from a slim, gold tipped cigarette,
lighting and smoking the same. The
woman entered the smoker just after
the train pulled out of the New. Lon
don station. She is said to have had
chair in one of the forward parlor
cars. After her smoke she returned
to the parlor car.

a passenger and two freight locomo-

the repair shop of wood. Both were
old buildings, built some sixty years
ago.

ANDREW EDWARDS

One of the most beautiful church we'd dings of the late autumn was that of MT Samuel G. Andrew and Miss Leila Edwards at the First Baptist church of Pratt City.
 The church was appropriately deco- rated with ferns and palms, and the chancel where the nuptial vows were said was banked with ferns and other autumnal greenery.
 Preceding the ceremony, My Hero" was admirably rendered by Miss Myra Olive. The wedding march from Mendels- sohn was played as the bridal party en- tered the church, the bride leaning on the arm of her brother, MT. George w. Edwards. She wore a bridal gown of crepe meteor over white satin trimmed with pearls. She carried a large shower bouquet of brides roses and lilies of the valley. The maid of honor was Miss Jennie Edwards, a sister of the bride She was gowned in pink satin. The brides maids were Misses Claud Wood, Hazel Mckenzie and Bessie Blackwell. They wore dainty creations of pale blue satin trimmed with pearls. The ushers were Dr. Morgan, James Burgln, Alfred Car roway and Dr. John Frazier, and the flower girls were little Misses Mary Ruth Blackwell and Winnie B. Carter. The ring was carried on a silver platter by Miss Claudine Lacey.
 The bride and her brother were met at the chancel by MT. Andrew and his best man, MT. Charles F. Reagin. "Shubert' s Serenade' was softly played during the ceremony, which was performed by the Rev. Barnes. The wedding gifts were many and beautiful, and attested the wide popularity of both bride and groom. The bride is a life long resident of Pratt

 ''The Prince of Wales has taken part in every duty that appertains to the working of a great battleship, and has oheerfully and efficiently discharged the ess agreeable as well as the most agree able of his tasks. The day before yes- terday, for example. he was bearing his share in 'coaling ship and you know what that means. He has worked hard in the gunroom and at drill and has, among other things, been associated with the landing of small armed parties. He has had to do his turn with bat talion, and has had practical experience of the toll side of an inspection as well as of the spectacular side. Throughout the whole period of his training on board

loads on the Farm

From the Chicago Examiner.
 By selling toads for use in killing in-
 sects, Hiram Potts of Seattle, Wash, is
 making as much money as many grain
 farmers.
 Potts was originally engaged in the
 growing of vegetables. He found that the
 cucumber beetle destroyed so many of
 his cucumbers, melons and squash plants
 that there was little profit in it. A letter to the department of agricul- ture suggested many things which failed An old woman from town told him to put some toads in the patch. This he did and found effective. By means of a friend in
 Seattle he obtained seven toads which were found in a manhole of the city sewer system.
 Potts made pets of these seven toads and kept them in his cave until spring. | Then he placed them all in an improyised pond on his farm and thousands of young | tadpoles resulted. These ultimately be- came toads; mature hungry toads. Tsa | placed them in his vegetable patches and | was no longer troubled with insects. | Neighbors became interested and offered | to buy toads for their melon farms. Potts thus became engaged in the unique traffic, and learning the worth of his pets he fenced them off and has been dealing l them out in gross lots.
 | Farmers raising vegetables and grapes l in the irrigated sections of Washington | and Oregon have heard of Potts toads, l and this year he has sent them to hum dreds of farms. He gets $5 per gross for | toads of one year and older. His supply will never run low. as 1t is said female | toad will lay a million eggs annually. | Many enemies kill half of the young ones
 and half of the remainder die from other | causes. Potts keeps his toads on his own premises by a foot-high board fastened
 to the fence posts. Toads cannot jumr | over a foot board.
 | Toads devour ants, sowbugs, spiders
 caterpillars, plant lice, celery worms, flies
 beetles. gnats. wasps and hundreds, of
 other destructive bugs and insects. Their value is just being learned in the north I west. Toads are harmless. They dc
 most of their eating during dawn and
 dusk and are rarely seen in daylight

 and ready for inspection. The presence of the members and their wives and friends Monday afternoon will be in the nature of a moral stimulus. an evidence of approval given for the improvements which we have tried to make satisfactory to every member. It is the wish of the committee and of MT. Badham that every man who is a member of the club might be with us. We know this is impossible, but all who can come will be most cor dially welcomed. Instead of sending in vitation cards to the members wives and sisters and girl friends, we preferred to make known through the papers our de- sire for their presence. ''The sun palor has just been completed and Is, in my opinion, the most up to date fashionable apartment in the city. It will be in this room that the afternoon teas of the club will take place this winter Many other Improvements have been made, the decoration of the building nav ing been left to the house committee or which am chairman. the other improve ments of heavier and more utilitarian sort, such as new furnaces and plumbing, and lockers, to MT. Dunn, MT Seibels and Mir. F'owllses. The club will be turned over Monday to the inspection of the Visl- tors"
 There were a number of society people whose absence from the city during the summer prevented attendance upon the afternoon teas which for several weeks proved such delightful feature of stay at home social life. These teas took place in the open and were among the most charming al fresco parties that have been given here. The tea tomorrow afternoon and the other club parties which are to follow it will, in many ways, suggest the first events though the winter affairs will take place indoors. The tea, at any rate, is delightful thought and one which society will be quick to take ad- vantage of tomorrow afternoon.
