 There was ghost of the regular session in the House, when Willens introduced the Logan back-tax bill, which originally caused such stir. It provided that the attorney-genera should appoint "a number of depnt- ies in the various counties to bring suit for back taxes. In the regular session it passed the Senate with scarcely any debate, but was killed in the House by the active opposition of Representatives Grant and Goiag. The first reading upon it's appear ance was scarcely finished when it was promptly tabled.

Preacher, and Is Riddied With
Bullets.

Blue Ridge, Ga.Carter Lingerfelt,
moonshiner, was shot to death In
Mount Pisgah church, about seven
miles from here by Rev. William
Kimmo, a Baptist minister. Rev. Mr..
Kimmo was aided In the fight by his
two brothers, both of whom are
preachers, ard one Of them was seri-
ously wounded by Lingerfelt.
A conference OF the congregation
was being held in the church, when
Lingerfelt broke down the door, en-
tered and threatened to kill the
preacher. Lingerfelt had previously
threatened to run the three ministers
out Of the county If they continued
to preach against moonshinfng. The
Kimmos continued their crusade from
various pulpits against the illegal
manufacture and sale of whisky, and
when Lingerfelt appeared they were
ready for him.
AS soon as Lingerfelt drew his pis

and Lingerfelt fell, pierced by half
dozen bullets, but not before, how
ever, he had fired three shots himself

CALF AND GOOSE ARE cHuMs
Animal Owned on New York Farm
Attempts Suicide When Fowl
Is Sick.

New Rochelle, N. Y-No stranger
affection ever existed than that be-
tween a calf and a goose, owned by
Miss Hannah George. who lives on q
little farm, near Mount Vernon. The
friendship sprang up last summer
when Miss George sold her cow and
the calf was turned into a pasture
where there were no bushes to brush
away the flies
One day the goose, seeing q swarm
of flies on the calf while it was lying
down, caught and ate nearly every
Nv that was bothering 1t. The calf
was grateful for the attention and
chased a dog that was in the habit Of
worrying the goose. Since then the
goose has been the ca1f's constant
companion, spending the entire day
strutting around and jumping for the
flies that light on the calf.
The other day the goose was sick
and was kept in a closed pen. The
calf. missing its friend, would not be
consoled and attempted to strange
itself with its rope. Miss George dis
entang1ed it just In time to save ito

WATER SNAKE PUMP is OLD
Can Be Made Simply by Placing Gar
den Hose Around Clothes Pole
Used In Egypt.

Before pumps were invented all
sorts of queer devices were employed
to raise water from ponds, streams,
and wells. One of these was ma
chine which is commonly called
Archimedes' screw, because It was
supposed to have been invented by
Archimedes, who lived in the third
century before the Christian era. But
the same apparatus has been used IN
Egypt from long before his time until
the present day.
1t is nothing but tube wound spir-
ally, like corkscrew, around pole
and placed in an inclined position
with Its lower end dipping into the
water and turned by a crank at It's
upper end. Every time the open
lower end of the tube dips under the
surface 1t scoops up little water,
which as the tube, or screw, is turned
rises along it until It reaches the up
per end and flows out.
The apparatus will not work If 1t is
inclined very steeply, SO to raise wa
ter to any great height it would have
to be made exceedingly long. But It
would do very well for raising water
from a pond OF stream to reservoir
| on the bank from which it could be
carried away in buckets, or allowed
| to flow through canals or pipes to
! places farther down hill. And II the
source of the water were swiftly
I flowing stream you would not have to
turn the crank, for a paddle wheel at
tached to the lower part Of the screw
and just dipping into the stream
would do the work for you.
So there Is your water snake. You
can make it very simply by coiling 8
long piece Of garden hose around 8
clothes pole, inserting one end Of the
pole among the rocks in the bed Of {
brook so that it can turn Withou'
slipping from its place. and laying the
other end, which should have an arm
attached to turn it with, in forkee
stick driven in the bank.

will really work and raise water. /

Dressing for Work.

In the food and raiment brigade,
the "do.your-own-Work" mothers have
hard time keeping themselves pre-
sentable In the eyes Of their families.
They must wear faded things some
times, and they cannot spare much
of the early morning time for beauti-
flying. Still it is possible for the
houseworkers to don one accessory
that never fails to freshen and i'm
prove the toilet. This is q plain white
collar, which costs nothing and re-
quires only a moment to adjust.
When the career Of white shirtwaists
ds ended, front plaits, tucked lengths
and those of insertion should be cut
out, leaving sufficient plain material
Ito hem over the upper edge, so as to
avoid scratching the neck. They
should be two inches IN width and
the neck length.

~ QUANTITIES Of puffs and curls,
and all sorts of little head
dresses, continue to mark the
couture of milady of fashion when she
prepares to do honor to state occa-
sion, or to dress with dignity. This
elaboration in hair dressing is very
becoming in the majority Of cases,
and those women who have once tried
1t realize the charm of it. Only the
grand beauty may turn her back upon
careful arrangement of the hair and
still be as attractive as her artfully-
groomed sister who knows the fas-
cination OF soft curls and smooth
puffs.
Unless one has plenty Of time and
some one to help out, the natural hair
can hardly be arranged in the man
ner shown In the Illustrations. No
matter how generous nature may
have been, puffs and curls are. as a
rule, pinned on. Mere man may long

There are many other decorations,

tice the little fringe of curls that
nestle about the neck in many Of the

hardly to be found, but the curls are
placed wherever they will do the most
good-that is, wherever they are
