Reflections of a Bachelor.
rom the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
The more successful a farmer is the
less credit he will give to the weather
and the Lord
The noblest thing about a wife is the
way she will keep on being one when
she has learned better
A pretty girl makes a fool of a man
by appearing to give him a chance TO
make a fool of her
Religion is like Notwithstanding
that appeals to man when he isn't
well and can't have any fun.
A man isn't necessarily fool at sixty
but he might as we'll be for all the in
fuence he can have with men under
thirty.

ARTHUR" ABUSES PRIVILEGE.
Crow Admitted to Swiss Law Court
Upsets the Inkstands.
'respoDdence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
GENEVA. July 8, 1911.
Many visitors to Geneva will regret
to learn that Arthur. the crow. the
solitary bird which for many years has
made the local law courts his home. has
been arrested" by the police, and is
ordered to be confined in cage.
The crow was a privileged bird, hop
ping in through the open windows while
a case was being tried. and gravely sit
ting on the desk near the judge. or
among the lawyers, who took no notice
of him.
Recently he developed great dislike of
ink, and amused himself by upsetting
ink wells. A few days ago he rendered
useless in this manner several important
legal documents. This decided his fate.

NOT ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.
It Was Quinine, Not Poison, Ameri-

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
PARIS, July 3, 1911.
An American resident in Paris had an
unpleasant experience at the Casino at
Enghien the other day.
He was playing baccarat on a system
OF his own. BY this system he loses
only fixed sum. When that is gone he
refuses to stake any more.
He had reached his limit losses, and
turning to lady next to him. said
There goes my best louis. 1 shall not
play any more.
At the same moment he took a little
box out of his pocket and slipped a white
lozenge into his mouth. Four attendants
instantly caught him from behind lifted
him out Of his chair, and carried him to
the police station. The doctor in at
tendance there poured a strong emetic
down his throat, and the poor man be-
came very i'll indeed.
1t was not until too late that he was
allowed to explain that the lozenge was
merely quinine.
The casino authorities thought he had
lost his last louis in a literal sense, and
decided to save his life" without al
lowing him time to explain that he was
not taking poison

ATHENS, July 3, 1911
The premier's wise proposal to read
nit the crown prince to the army as
inspector general is meeting with consid
cradle opposition in unlooked-for quar-
tiers. This is the more unfortunate as
the affair was considered to be prac-
ticalIy settled. 1t Will be q matter for
much regret if the coura geous attempt of
the premier to reconcile the crown to the
army should ultimately fail and his high
ness splendid military capacity be lost
to the nation.

CHICAGO.

CHICAGO. July 17.-Although wheat. in
sympathy with foreign markets, had a
rather strong start today. period of
weakness followed, due to the influence
of coarse grain. The initial strength

ments and a big decrease in the total

er formed the main reason for the back
set in other cereals. Wheat opened 1saA

the market fell to S7ss.
Moisture extending over the entire belt
from Indiana to the far west pulled down
corn. Forage also was reported as hav-
ing received much benefit in the cotton
states. September opened Is to g lower
at 66ls to $685. and descended to 6-ssa6j1R.
In the oats crowd. buyers were few
and deliberate. Accordingly, the market
sagged with corn. September started u

as Az.
An upward tendency at the Yards
helped sustain provisions. First sales
were ) cents off to ) cents up. with jan

 New York, June That majorl ity of the wayward girls in the United States are feeble minded and should be cared for in scientifically managed in stitutions is the substance of report made by medical experts to the Church Mission of Help. today. The investi- gation was started to determine whether the church had failed in pre- venting waywardness in young girls. Of 113 cases examined, 5s were normal mentally and should have been mem- bers of institutions.
 Speaking on this the report says:
 These defective girls are allowed to be at large because the state institu- tions for the feeble minded are too crowded to admit them.'
 There are 1000 girls on the waiting list of the state charities aid associa- tion. Discussing the girls the report says:
