GEORGIA CONGRESSMAN
HIT WASHINGTON negro
ROddGnbGrry Punished IRSO,

Washington, June 2.-Representa-
tive $. A Roddenberry, OF Georgia
came to blows with a negro in a street
car last night. No great damage was
done by the combatants. so quickly
were they separated. The incident
however, caused no little excitement
on the car and was a fairly fit close
to a day that had been devoid of eX-
element at the capitol.
Mr.. Roddenberry, Speaker Champ
Clark, Representative Ollie James and
Representative Ben Johnson of Ken
lucky, were among a number Of demo-
cratic members who had boarded the
car for their homes upon the conclu-
sion of the caucus shortly before mid
night.
A negro man and woman got Oh
and the woman sat in a narrow space
beside Mr.. Roddenberry. There re-
mained but few inches OF the longi-
tudinal seat that was not occupied.
This was between MIR. Roddenberry and
the negro woman. Her escort sought
to fill that space with a bulk fully
twice that of Mr. Roddenberry, VINO
is in the bantam class
AS the negro seated himself and
showed back Mr. Roddenberry remon-
strated. The negro made some reply
and showed an elbow into the repre-
sentatives ribs. In an instant the
Georgian was upon his feet and had
landed three or four stiff blows upon
the negro's face.
The negro promptly made for Mr.
Roddenberry and aimed two or three
blows at him. The Georgian was as
quick as lightning and ducked or side
stepped them. Speaker Clark, Mr.
James and Mr.. Johnson then rushed
in between the combatants. The con-
ductor and motorman also appeared
and offered to put the negro off the
car. The Representatives however
decided that Mr. Roddenberry had
asserted himself vigorously enough to
teach a lesson and intervened on the
negros behalf He was permitted tc
remain on the car. No arrests were
made.

COTTON GOES SKYWARD
ON GOVERNMENT REPORT
Bull Leader HaynG Snapped
Up Offers

New Orleans, La, June 2.-The
government bureau reports were a dig
surprise in the cotton market today.
The report on acreage was a big sur
prise, as was the report on condition.
One was as bullish as the other was
bearish and they about balanced one
another, after the ring got over its
first shock.
The local market was wonderfully
strong. Right on the dot at II o'clock
the figures on condition came out
They were SIS, or almost points
higher than the average expected. The
ring was crowded 20 deep with brokers
and the floor was filled with visitors
from all parts of the cotton belt, and
hot as it was, the big visitors gallery
was crowded with women
Excitement was high and the noise
was deafening. Bears thought that
they saw the chance of their lives and
commenced to offer cotton in large
blocks, but their offerings were quick
ly snapped up The coolest man at
the ringside was the bull leader,
Frank B. Hayne
Immediately after the condition
figures were out October traded at
laos, or a loss of points from the
level reached just before II o'clock.
December lost points, July lost ).
This was an insignificant decline, con-
sidering the bearish import of the
condition figures.

A Joke That Failed,

southern Colorado did not know In
alan nature very well when he invited
h Ute chief to boxing bout. After
the use OF the gloves. which
the chief seemed to readily under
stand, they went into a vacart room
In the rear of the store to spar. The
gloves were adjusted, and the clerk
invited the chief to hit him. This, of
course, he failed to do, as Indians new.
er strike with their hands in conflict
All at once the clerk struck out, and.
catching the chief under the ear, land
ed him on the floor. This was enough.
The Indian sprang to his feet, pulled
off the gloves, jerked out knife, and
the clerk had to run for his life. For
tunately he managed to keep out of
reach until some friends caught the
infuriated Indian and held him until
he cooled Off Then the clerk explain
ed the joke, but with very poor sue
cess. The chief consented to forego
vengeance for the insult, but he was
never friends with the clerk again.

of scars, and nearly all Of them are
covered with specimens which have
resulted from self inflicted wounds
which were kept open by frequent
scratching or by the Introduction of
foreign substances like sand, bamboo,
shells and so forth. The excrescence
which results from the he'average vacci-

In America the humble guinea pig is
used largely to advance the cause of
science by succumbing to different
germs, by refusing to weaken after
generations of intense inbreeding, and
by generally tending to prove" what
ever the scientists want to prove. But
over in England the guinea pig is be-
ing used as lawn mower with great
effect. He is more than a mere ma
chine at that, for we are assured that
he not only clips the lawn evenly, but
with rare discrimination removes all
the weeds therefrom. Guinea pigs mul.
tiply very rapidly and almost any one
can get enough to keep his lawn
moved if he starts early in the spring
We thought the American farmer who
tied his lawn mower to an automobile
and skited around over his lawn had
solved the problem, but the English
moving system has certain points CT
superiority which increase our respect
for British ingenuity.-National Stock

HUMOROUS QJIPS
She Gigqled.


l went out TO walk with Miss Nellie one
day,
And as we two strolled through to.

noticed she seemed quite con;eui.d and
gay
More happy by far than lark.
And whenever ] made o remark even
plain,
She would always a giggle outpour;
And then when | asked her to kindly eX-
plain
She giggled-then giggled some more.
Then in the evening we went to the play,
And though twas a tragedy deep
She did not the slightest emotion display,
But glggled while others would weep.
She gggled bit when the hero wus
killed,
And as the bride came through the door
To marry the villain whose conduct had
thrilled,
She giggled then giggled some more.
So asked the young lady to tell me just
why
Her system contained so much mlrth
And how she could giggle when others
would cry
And when happiness seemed at a dearth
So she said her new hat had the latest
shaped frame,
The only one like it in store,
And that no other lady could get the
same.
Then she giggled-and giggled some

On the Defensive,

A distinguished novelist recently
found himself travelling In train with
two very talkative women. Having
recognized him from his published por-
traits, they opened fire upon him in
regard to his novels, praising them in
manner which was uncomfortable to
the sensitive author.
Presently the train entered a tunnel,
and in the darkness the novelist raised
the back Of his hand to his lips and
kissed 1t soundly. When the light re-
turned he found the two women re-
garding one another in icy silence.
Addressing them with great suavity,
he said, "Ah, ladies, the one regret
Of my life will be that shall never
know which Of you it was that kissed
me!'-Ideas.

Garden
GROW OWN TABLE DAINTIES.
Every Farm, No Matter What Its Size,
Should Have a Kitchen Garden,

Should Have a Kitchen Garden.
Perhaps the most characteristic fea.
ture of our northern and eastern farms
is the home vegetable garden, says
w. r. Beattie. assistant horticulturist,
bureau of plant industry Even where
no orchard has been planted, and
where the ornamental surroundings of
the home have been neglected, fairly
well kept garden in which are grown
a number of the staple kinds of vege
tables is generally to be found In
many cases the principal interest in
the garden is manifested by the wo,
men Of the household and much of the
necessary care is given by them. A
small portion of the garden inclosure
is generally devoted to the cultivation
of flowers, and a number of medicinal
plants are invariably present.
Throughout the newer parts of the
country one finds that the conditions
governing the maintenance and use of
the vegetable garden are somewhat
different, and, while a number of vege-
table crops may be grown somewhere
ON the farm, there is wanting that dis
tinction so characteristic of the typical
New England kitchen garden.
1t would be impossible to make an
accurate estimate of the value of crops
grown in the kitchen gardens of the
United States, but from careful OBJ
servation the statement can safely be
made that well kept garden will
yield a return ten to fifteen times
greater than would the same area and
crops. A half acre devoted to the
various kinds of garden crops will
easily supply a family with 500 worth
of vegetables during the year, while
the average return for farm crops is
considerably less than one-tenth Of
this amount. A bountiful supply of
vegetables close at hand where they
notice is of even more Importance
than the mere money value.
Fresh vegetables from the home
garden are not subjected to exposure
on the markets or in transportation
and are not liable to become infected
in any way. Many of the products Of
the garden lose their characteristic
flavor when not used within a few
hours after gathering. By means of
the home garden the production of the
vegetable supply for the family is
directly under control, and in many
cases is the only way whereby clean.
fresh produce may be secured.
The home vegetable garden is wor-
thy of increased attention, and a
greater number and variety of crops
should be included in the garden.
The question of proximity to the
house or other buildings is of great i'm
portance when locating a garden. In
old homesteads the garden was gen.
orally located directly adjacent to the
house, requiring but a few steps from
the kitchen to reach the extreme parts
of the garden. The work Of caring for
a garden is usually done at spare
times, and for this reason alone the
location should be near the dwelling.
In case the site chosen for the garden
should become unsuitable for any
cause, it is not a difficult matter to
change the location. Many persons
prefer to plan the garden in different
location every five or six years.

THE VALUABLE TURNlP.
Worth Growing if Only For It's Effect
on Dairy Cows.

on Dairy Cows.
While the real food value of turnips
is considered somewhat low, they are
wonderful appetizers, especially for
dairy cows, not only toning up their
systems, but increasing the flow OF
milk.
Then there are several tempting
dishes for the table that can be formed
from turnips, and by storing a goodly
supply of them for winter their use
will save considerable of the higher
priced products, both around the feed
stalls and table.
Turnips for winter storage should
not be sown till in July, from the 10th
to the Goth, or even few days later
will not be too late. Where they are
sown earlier than this the hot weather
causes them to become strong and
pithy, but If sown as above stated
they mature when the weather is cool
er, which greatly enhances their flavor,
gives them firm, solid flesh and adds
to their keeping qualities.
A rich, sandy loan or fresh sod
soil is best adapted to turnip raising
and they may be sown either broad
cast or drilled. If sown broadcast it
may be done just before shower, and
there will then be no necessity for
covering the seed, as the raindrops
will do the work better, light cover
ing being all that is required. If the
seeds are drilled one can arrange SO
the plants may be cultivated by hand,
the rows being placed about eighteen
inches apart. Put in plenty Of seed
at the time Of drilling and thin out the
plants when they come up till they
are from three to four inches apart,
thus giving them ample room to grow.

Brief Suggestions.

Go over the orchard and see that all
the wounds are we'll painted.
The golden wax bean is a favorite
with many garden makers. 1t is
tender, Of good quality and stringless.
If small pig is chilled it can be re-
vived by dipping it in water as hot as
you can bear your hand in, then wrap
ping it in warm flannel.
Don't keep your horse in an over
heated stable and then stand him for
hours in a freezing atmosphere and
wonder bow he became paralyzed.
The durability Of the mule is a
strong point in his favor. He lives and
works 10 a good old age. His Sense"
of self protection is strong, and he
avoids many injuries.
Never get the idea in your head that
drugs and health are inseparable, for
In most cases It will be found that
what we keep out of the pigs stom-
ach has more 10 do with its health
than what we pot in,
Blackberries are very prolific and
ripen at the time they can be econom-
ically gathered and marketed. They
are seldom injured by late frosts and
for this reason are surer than some
other berries that ripen earlier.
The wheel hoes are great labor
savers. A plow attachment is very
convenient for opening burrows and tO
cover the larger seeds, as peas, beans
and sweet corn. Some Of the com
bination wheel tools with drills, culti'
waiting teeth, plows and rakes are very
satisfactory.
