MANY TERRAPIN ARE MATCHED
Georgia Man Finds Way to Keep
Species From Becoming
Extinct.

Philadelphia.-At the Hotel Hanover
is A. M. Barbee of Savannah. Ga.
who is Matching diamond back terra
pin these days, and proving that the
tasty reptile can be conserved and
supply arranged for generations to
come. This will be good news to the
bon vivant. for it has been proclaimed
that the finest favored member of the
terrapin family will soon be extinct.
Barbee, who has been in the bust
ness of catching and selling terrapin
for twenty.three years, began to study
the matter of establishing hatcheries.
He has succeeded The female terra
pin has habit of depositing about
ten eggs a month. She spreads them
out on the sand and gets atway, having
no further interest in her offspring.
But the crows, who are as fond of
terrapin as is millionaire, swoop
down upon them.
Barbee established a farm where
this year he will hatch 10000 little
diamond backs.
At this farm, which in on the Isle Of
Hope, about nine miles from Savan-
nah. the terrapin go to him when he
calls. When he feeds them he floods
the sand piles on which they live, and
when they have fed the water is drawn
off He hopes to interest the govern
ment in his plan.

Admission to Society in New York

New York.-Time was when break

tons, you stood a chance of being
Invited to the very best houses.
1t was three generations before the
Astors amounted to anything as So
cial beings in this community, writes
New York correspondent The Van
derbilts made the extraordinary leap
In better time-in two generations
thanks to the mental resources and
determination of doughty social war
rior whom the family acquired by mar
riage, and later lost by divorce.
People "get in" New York society
now in a few years; sometimes in a
single season.
Now a multiplicity of avenues of ap-
proach have been discovered. Here
are ten: Dogs, women's clubs, pub
licity, charity, summer resorts, graft,
the opera, first nights, travel (tor-
eign), woman suffrage.

the advance we have made. Some Gym
les may call it retrogression. How
cruel when one can thus lessen the
years necessary for social entree!
Children used to be the avenue of
approach, which has been usurped by
the later pets.
One Of the first moves of the so
cially ambitious woman in New York
these days is the requirement Of dog.
II the proper beginning Is made, If
the right sort of dog is secured, the
next step is to enter him at the first
exclusive dog show. This may be
done the very first year. And there
the woman has her first social oppor-
tunity.
There are dog luncheons, dog din
ners, dog receptions to which her
canine will be invited, and no canine
can 20 alone. The mistress must be
included. Some day she may event
ually be invited on her own account.
Another avenue for the social climb
err is the summer resort and foreign
travel. In itself New York is a
glacial city, socially. Its surfaces are
so rounded that it must be hardy
climber who can secure hold. Thus
many have resolved to bring into the
strategy of their campaign flank as
sault on the citadel Of caste.
They remove their artillery to a
distance They pay outrageous prices
to the hotels in the fashionable re-
sorts in summer and to the stopping
places on the grand tour to Europe in
the hope of thus scraping a valuable
acquaintance.
Most of them fail. The average ten

St. Paul Man In Auto Wreck jailed
for Reckless Driving by
Judge.

Minneapolis. j. B. Lawrence,
wealthy business man of St. Paul and
a member of an automobile firm there,
not only is out $1,000 for damages to
! his automobile, but also must spend 20
days in the Hennepin county work
house for reckless driving. according
to the ruling of Judge C. L. Smith of
the municipal court. Lawrence, who
was found in the wreckage of his au-
tomobile, was given three days to ar
range his business for the enforced
vacation.
Judge Smith. in pronouncing SEN
tence, declared that after investiga-
ton he was convinced the only rea-
son Lawrence did not kill some one
was because there was no pedes-
TRANS near him to be killed.
The arrest of Lawrence Is in line
with the campaign being 'waged by 20

quake In Atlantic City and Work
ers Are Panic Striker.

Atlantic City, N. J.-Half dozen
clerks were standing near the big
vault in the Chelsea National bank In
this city, discussing the earthquake.
Their backs were turned toward the
street. Suddenly there came a blind
ing fash, as though from huge bali
OF fire, followed by rumbling noise.
The clerks, terror-stricken, and with
out waiting to investigate, took 1t for
granted that another earthquake had
visited the city, and they considered
the safest place was the big vault.
Into this they jumped, and. pulling
the door shut, awaited Developments
They waited for long while, but
seemingly nothing happened Then
they tried to open the vault door, but
could not. 1t was some time later
when the cashier, missing the clerks
and noticing that the vault door was
closed, opened it, and found the young
fellows nearly smothered.
A big campaign banner. water
soaked from the rain. had fallen across
the trolley feed wire. breaking the
wire and causing the fash and explc-
sion which the clerks noticed. The
breaking Of the feed wire tied up troll
ley traffic on the lines for nearly two
hours.

PRUSSIA TO TAX BACHELORS
All Getting $3.50 Year Up VIII Be
Specially Assessed for Remain
Ing Single.

Berlin.-The Prussian diet is now
giving its formal official consideration
to project for taxing bachelors. The
original bill has been amended SO as
to make the tax effective only in the
case Of unmarried men whose income
exceeds $3.50 year.
Such men will be called upon in
case the bill passes to pay a tax of
from ten to twenty per cent higher
than married men with correspond
ing incomes.
The bachelor tax will take the form
OF an income sur-tax The idea of the
legislators who are backing the bill is
that men who have have to support
wives or children ought not, in jus.
tice, be compelled to pay as much to-
ward the support of the state as men
who are leading the care-free. ire
sponsible lives of bachelors.
The project is fathered by the con.
servatives of the diet and has every
prospect of becoming a law.

The blackness was on both sides of
the vessel. BLACK as the darkest

black was a column of fiery yellow,

fourths of an inch and about one
eighth of an inch thick. This bores
beneath the bark of the tree, leaving
its excrement, which, when the limb
or sapling is girdled, prevents the sap
from ascending, and then the tree dies.
Becker says he has been a close
observer for number OF years and
finds that this destructive worm near
ly always begins its work at the trunk
of the tree. He also claims that the
reason so many die is the killing Of
