listener l have found a sturdy old gamekeeper who tells me that some years ago he had the ill-luck to let trap he was setting go off upon his own hand. The mark of the wound is there to this day, and never since has he been able to bring himself to set one for any living creature There are other ways of keeping down these unhappy little animals without tortur- ing them for hours as preliminary
 When l read this, realized as never before the evils of trapping, and the need of teaching our boys and girls to be tender and thoughtful of every liv- ing creature, for often I think Evil is wrought by want of thought as well as want of heart"
 Yours, for every good work and word. MARTHA.

Dear Sisters and Brothers January and February have been real johnny cake months. Where did the name originate? I suppose in the days of long ago, when corn and rye were the staple grains for bread. Perhaps some boy by the name of John fancied some particular kind of corReake, and this was called JohnHy's cake; or there might have been some man by the name of Jshn Fl. Cake, and he had q faverite kind of cOrnbread, and it was given his name.

Harry Wayne's production of

noon and night were all we'll pat
ronized, and when those who saw
the show on Monday get through
telling about it the house will not
be large enough to accommodate the
crowds that viii swarm to the the
atre this afternoon and night.
All the participants in the show
were we'll costumed and all have
good voices. They present an hour
of good, clean comedy which is
much enjoyed by the theatre-going
public. All the songs are the very
latest, and the manner in which
they are sung is very pleasing.
The two members sthe company
attracting special attention are the
two spiers children, who, are very
small to be on the stage, but ac-
cording to their manager, they have
been acting for several years. They
just closed a six weeks vaudeville

SHE BLAMES Esprit WIFE"
Mrs. William Phelps Dodge Divorced
Husband Because Uncanny In
fiuence Ruled Him.

The uncanny influence of a spirit
wife" is said to have been responsible
for the divorce action which Mrs. Will
liam Phelps Dodge has just won
against her millionaire husband.
The decree, which was signed in
Philadelphia, would have been grant
ed several weeks ago, it is under
stood, but the judge wanted to make
a longer investigation of the unusual
charges brought by the girl wife OF
the widely known author and lawyer.
According to the papers in the case,
Mr.. Dodge, who is forty-eight years
old, met his young bride here at Sher-
RVS on election night, 1909, and after
an impetuous wooing, married her in
London on January 10, 1910.
Prior to that time she and her sis
ter had been in the chorus Of "Ha-
vana," musical comedy playing at
the Casino.
Despite the difference in their ages
the bride was only eighteen-the
couple lived happily for couple OF
months after the wedding. Then Mrs.
Dodge charges that the spirit of Mr..
Dodge's first wife, Ethel, appeared be-
fore him and began to pick on" her
successor.
Young Mrs. Dodge said that when
ever she wore jewel, veil or any
thing that the first Mrs. Dodge had
possessed, the latter's spirit would ap-
pear before her husband and demand
that he have it removed at once.
And, according to the girl-wife, the
spirit-wife was always obeyed.
This treatment got on the nerves OF
the youthful Mrs. Dodge finally, and
she packed up and returned to this
country, leaving Mr.. Dodge in London.
Immediately on her arrival here, she
applied for the divorce through her
mother, as guardian, and charged that
cruel, barbarous and inhuman treat
ment had been inflicted upon her by
her husband.-New York Evening
Mail.

All That Was Left.

A large boarding house caught fire
during dinner and much confusion re-

landlady, who was a philosophical
soul, remarked that 1t was blessing
that the fire had not happened at
night, as some life might have been
lost.
A little later the colored boy, who
heard this, mysteriously called her
aside and cautiously exhibited great
bunch of dark, tangled hair. Don't

Draining Desert Lands.

One of the curiosities of irrigation is
that it is sometimes necessary to drain
such lands. When the lands are stu
ated on comparatively level, the
water from the irrigation ditch above
seeps along the line between the rock
formation and in many cases accumu-
lates in such an amount that it actual
ly becomes swampy. Then it has to
be drained, just as in the case of the
the south. 1t seems strange to wit.
ness the laying of drainage system
In an arid country, but it has been
done a great many times. The aver
age user of irrigation who fails may
trace his lack of success to the too
liberal use of water. Instead of water
ing he really browns his crops.

"Why, I know the man! He hates
to tell the truth-it's absolutely for
