A
WEED and
LOST VOICE
Farmer Finds Himself in
Pretty Plight; He
Can't Swallow.

Jess Tayl n, a yorng farmer wes' Of
town, is speechless and can not
swallow iood or water as the result
Of most peculiar and perhaps seri-
Gus accident which happened last
night. Taylor carelessIy chewed a
wild weed while at work in the field
and has been in a serious state since.
Mr.. Taylor and another farmer by
the name Of Logan spent Monday in
the field stacking wheat. About Z
o'clock in the afternoon they were
resting in the shade Of the stack when
Taylor carelessly pulled a green weed
and after breaking it put the stem in
his mouth and began chewing on IT,
He experienced a burning sensation
and soon his tongue began swelling.
the mucous membrane Of his mouth
became psrched and lost all sense Of
feeling. Mr. Logan laughed at Mr.
Taylor and after they went to the
house joked him considerably about
chewing the weed.
An hour after taking the weed into
his mouth and chewing 1t Taylor's
voice left him and he has been unable
to speak aloud since that time. The
accident occurred at z o'clock and Mr.
Taylor has been unable to speak or
take any kind of food or drink since.
He says that his mouth and shroat
seem paralyzed.
An investigation by the physician
who has the case in charge has proved
the weed to be a species commonly
known as the branding plant. This
weed contains a sort Of milky sap
which when placed on the skin OF an
animal win cause the hair to drop off
in much the same way as a branding
iron. The plant belongs to the milk
weed family.
Taylor's cAse one OF the first OF
the kind ever brought to the attention
Of local physicians. but cases similar
have been recorded in Texas.
Jess Taylor was formerly a member
of the Chickasha police force and has
many friends in Chickasha. At noon
today his voice was returning slowly,
but he was still unable to speak above
whisper. He says that he had the
weed stem in his mouth only about
minute

WOMEN CULTIVATE BEANS.

Society women are interested in the
horticultural activities Of Mrs. Joseph
Chamberlain, who is c%ultivating in her
garden several vanilla bean vines. The
vine is delicate and fragrant and has
a commercial value. 1t is a terrestrial
parasite and grows on almost any kind
of tree, lighting up the rudest and most
unattractive bark with its dainty fes-
tool of leaves and tendrils. The beans
form early, and even the least exper-
fenced amateur can raise the useful
vanilla plant, One of the women who
followed Mrs. Chamberlain's plan used
the beans in frozen cream and the
result surpassed In delicacy the usual
vanilla extract. Mrs. Chamberlain has
been interested in the growth of va
nilla beans for several years. and has
reported to the horticultural depart
ment of the home secretary several
interesting experiments.

KNITTING ETIQUETTE.

A controversy has arisen in Wash
ington about the propriety of women
sewing, knitting or crocheting in pub
lie. 1t grew out of the habit a woman
from the Middle West has of taking
her knitting to the House gallery in
Washington and employing herself
usefully when listening to the debates.
Many of the congressional women
criticise her. but advocates of fancy
work contend that a mn has as
much right to sew or knit in the gall
leries as the members on the floor have
to read papers or whittle sticks. The
outcome is a symposium, in which the
wives of prominent lawmakers are
part. about what part the needle
plays in the lives of modern women
compared to the views held by their
Observation-Disclosures.
