something special in the theatrical line
for Union City. and Manager Reynolds,
as wen as his patrons, was very fortunate

Beverly is a play Of the romantic
type. 1t partakes Of the same air that
marks a former success, The Corsican
Brothers, with Robert Mantell aud
later An Enemy to the King and

Monday night comes from the very
best houses, and from three nights
at the Lyceum in Memphis to Union
City. The weather was pleasant and
very large audience OF the capacity d.
mansions was comfortably housed.
Many of the neighboring cities were
represented in the audience. There
were numbers from Martin, Rives,
Troy and Hickman.
Quite number were quoted as pre-
ferring the companion play, "Grau
stark, " presented here last season, but
there was something OF a novelty about
the first performance that wears a little
with custom, and second view of the
same play might have disiIlusioned the
auditor to some extent and caused him
to take with little more favor to
Beverly After all it is the company
largely and not the play. There was a
loss, of course, in some of the comedy
elements seen in Grastaurk, but a very
considerable counter balancing effect in
the old Southern darkey, Aunt Fannie,
Beverly Calhoun's maid. Josephine
Williams gave us a very fine portraiture

Beverly visiting Princess Yetive, was
perhaps more attractive heroine than
the Yetiye Of Graustark She is
young woman, to degree like Maud
Adams, of more spiritual and intel

has an abundance of these and they be-
come her very much. She lends a
charm to Beverly, a naiyete, full of
spirit and bewitching grace. These are

New Fire Fighter

w. R. Barton, fire prevention in
spector Of the Missouri Pacific and
Iron Mountain railways, has studied
out ire fighting apparatus which can
be attached to railroad locomotives
and effectively used in preventing con
fagrations on the tracks. A test Of
the appliance was recently made in
St. Louis. 1t was demonstrated that
a stream OF water could be thrown IS
feet in the air with 200 lbs. Of steam
pressure on locomotive, and 1t has
been decided to equip all yard engines
on the entire system and some of the
road locomotives with 1t.
The tanks OF the large yard engines
hold 5000 gallons OF water. Barton's
plan Is to carry so It. of 1t inch steam
hose on reel under the running board
Of the engine. The cost of the appar.
atus installed will he $500, and by
its use every locomotive will be made

DOG CAUSED MUCH TROUBLE
Bothered for Days Over Charges
on Hunting Canine.

Georgetown, Del.--Express Agent
William Davis had an experience like
the famous story of Pigs Is Pigs" the
other day with dog that was shipped
through the Office and refused. Frank
Millman and Samuel Miller noticed an
advertisement in one of the city pa
pers in which man in Philadelphia
wanted several fine hunting dogs and
would pay high prices for them. It
was no trouble for the two to collect
several dogs, the most likely of which
was shipped to Philadelphia.
A few days afterward the dog was
returned at the local express Office,
the consignee having refused to &C.
cept him. Millman refused to receive
the dog from Expressman Pussy and,
after carting 1t around the town sew
eral hours in the hopes of finding an
owner who could be compelled to pay
the express charges Of $1.55, Pussy
took the dog back to the express OF.
fee. The agent refused to accept it,
and insisted that Pussy deliver the
dog to Millman. Once again Millman
refused and, tired Of the trouble, Pussy
put the box, dog and all into Mill
mans yard. In the night some one
liberated the dog and, while the agent
was puzzling his head where to get
the $1.55, Millman decided to pay 1t.

TREATMENT FOR SICK HOGS
Unaffected Animals Should Be Re-
moved to Clean, DlsInfected
Quarters Without Much Range.

AS soon as sickness appears In the
herd the unaffected hogs should at
once be removed to clean. disinfected
quarters, preferably without much
range, for by running over pasture
they may come in contact with con.
tagion. Their feed should be careful
ly regulated, and, II they have pre-
viously been on pasture, should In
clude some green feed. roots. or an
abundance of skim milk.
The quarters In which the sickness
first appeared should be thoroughly
cleaned, all bedding and rubbish
burned. and loose boards and old
partitions torn out and burned. II
the pen is old, knock 1t to pieces and
burn It, Disinfect pens and sleeping
places, using air-slacked lime on the
floors and the carbolic acid solution
on the walls and ceilings. Whitewash
everything. If hog dies from any
cause the carcass should never be
exposed where 1t may be devoured
by the other hogs or by passing birds
or beasts, but should be burned at
once or buried deeply and the pen
thoroughly disinfected Immediately.
If possible. do not move the carcass
from the place where 1t falls; but
If this cannot be done the ground over
which 1t is dragged should be dis
infected Hog cholera bacilli can live
In the ground for at least three
months. Care must be taken to main
tain an absolute quarantine between
the sick and well hogs. The same
attendant should not care for both
lots unless he disinfects himself thor
oughly after each visit to the infected
hogs.
Treatment of hogs suffering from
cholera or swine plague is not always
satisfactory. The disease runs its
course so rapidly that curative meas
ures are more or less Intellectual and
prevention of an outbreak should be
relied upon rather than the cure of
sick animals

EASY TO MAKE DRAIN TILES
Work 10 Simple and Outfit Costs but
$50 or less-Cement 10 a.
Good as Clay.

Make your own drain tiles. The
work Is simple and can be done In
the spring or on rainy days. Cement
tiles are fully as good as the clay. II
they are made right.
The outfit needed to make these
tiles consists of machine in which
the molds are placed when filed, and
the molds. 1t can be bought for $36
to $50. The machine can be run by
hand or by engine. II turned by
hand, about 600 tiles day are made,
but with an engine this can be In.
creased to 1900
After filling the molds with flexible
casing put 1t into the machine. Then
take enough cement for a tile and
pack 1t firmly against the casing by
turning the packer through It. The
mold is then opened and the tile, still
supported by the casing, Is taken out
After the cement has become quite
hard the casing can be taken off and
used again.
Cement tiles become harder and
stronger with age, while the clay tile
weakens. Cement ones have the ad-
vantage also of not being drawn out
of shape by burning.
The proportion of sand and cement
to use is about three to one. The
sand used should be clean and as an
gular as it is possible to get. Crushed
rock cannot be used to any advantage
in the smaller tiles. Slow-setting ce-
ment is stronger than the quick
setting variety.
The size of tiles depends upon the
amount of water to be carried. For
most places the lateral drains should
be of three or four-inch tiles. Eight
sided tiles are laid much easier than
round ones, and cost little more.

THE GIRL
FROM HOME
BY STACY z. BAKER



William F. Mason, esquire, was am
bilious. In early youth he left his
home town for the city. where his
veneer OF country greenness gradual
ly wore away-and with 1t the heart
pang that came when memory swung
before him picture Of Faith Darrow,
who, back where the grass was green
prayed for his success, waiting anx.
iously for letters.
William F. Mason meant to make
something Of his life. His goal was
ahead. not behind. The slim maid
SO appropriately named Faith. was
and always would be his ideal Of
beauty--but Mason couldn't analyze
his feelings. He knew. after the In
satiable city had gained It's favorite
throathold, that the girl back home
could never fit into his scheme Of
things.
Mason was broad-shouldered fell
low and his keen. gray eyes had
habit of staring into the Elusive orbs
OF opportunity, allowing their owner
to avail himself of what secrets he
read therein. Mason was a student
Of men, and conditions as men make
them. Chance took him first into q
business Office in Wall street. The
brokerage business appealed to him.
Eight years afterward he was quoted
millionaire and owned his seat on
change. Back home q weary-eyed
little maid still waited.
The winter of the panic was a
notable one. Men with the Midas
touch found their power waning and
their accumulated treasures turning
to dross. Stocks deprecated and
money vanished alike into the socks
Of the frightened farmers and the
strong boxes Of the bankers Through
1t all, Mason--now known as wiz
ard" Mason--was cool and collected.
II his fortunes were on the wane he
was stoically calm through the siren

him complain.

Injurious Glover Aphid.

There is a common insect-a big,
green, long-legged plant louse-called
the clover aphid. Early in July 1t
often crowds the clover plants, leav-
ing literally no standing room. 1t is
the largest Of the aphids found on
forage plants and 1t sucks the sap
from the clover. II the plants get
plenty of rain, however, they often
survive. We find but few of these
clover lice in the spring, and these
are all females, which bear their
young alive. We often find large
mother with a group of young around
her, and all of these young are fe-
males also. In fact only females are
produced until late In the season. The
generations succeed each other rapid.
ly. We have obtained as many as
eighteen generations in single sea-
son, beginning with single female
that had survived the winter A single
female often produces ninety young,
and the record Is 147, the average
being forty.six.

GET RID OF CHICKEN LICE
Mixture Of Kerosene, carbolIc Acid,

Highly Satisfactory.

lice / learned by accident.
had been spraying the houses with
preparation which | had purchased
and busting with a patent powder
and never thought of looking for lice
as | believed the two preparations ]
was using were doing their work.
Going in the pen one day became
covered with chicken lice and the
more l felt the lice the more |
thought of the poor chickens and 1t
also gave me enough of the lice
killer had been using.
Placing half gallon of kerosene, a
bottle of carbolic acid and quantity
of coal tar in a bucket and filling
with water ! thoroughly sprayed the
roosts, nests, cracks and crevices and
found to my delight that the lice soon
disappeared and by frequent appli-
cation of the above preparation have
never been bothered again by lice.
