It will be issued in two pamphlets, one for rural and one for city schools, and is applicable to all schools, from the primary grade to the completion of the high school.
 GAME PROTECTION LEGISLATION, Little Rock, Dec. 12.-E. A. McIl- heny, of Avery Island, La., is spend ing few days in the state in the in- terest of game protection legislation.
 MT. Mc1lheny calls attention to the following interest observations by Col. w. Calvin Wells. of Jackson Miss, very prominent lawyer and planter.
 About six years ago l saw the WeeVll was going to get into this country. The government bulletins issued then stated that the quail or partridge was very destructive to boil weevils, so l though I would see if there was any help to be had from the birds. I posted my place and kept the hunters off absolutely.
 There were some birds on the plantation then, and they have in- creased wonderfully. While other places in the same neighborhood~have failed to make crops, have not fail- cd to make fairly good crop every year. I have averaged five bales to the mule this year, and I attribute it to the help the cartridges have given me in fighting the boil weevils. Nor is this all the confirmation l have. A friend of mine who is entirely reliable was passing through Copian county not long ago, riding. He saw a covy of quail jumping up on the cotton stalks, catching something. He took his gun and killed one of the birds, and found more than dozen boil boil weevils in it's craw.'

time, and if he will represent the city
he will be empowered to do so by the
council.
City Clerk Bescher was instructed
by council to ascertain what percent
age of the cost of paving South G
street from Sixth to Seventh street
would be undertaken by Hackman and
Klefoth, coal dealers, who would be
the chief beneficiaries by such an i'm
provement. Council will then act on
the petition for such an improvement.
Council almost to man voiced the
sentiment last night that free market
stalls were a failure. The cost of pro-
duce seems to be the same, and an
agreement between the market men on
prices seems to be the prime factor,
stated Councilman King. He charged
Marketmaster Taylor with being in
strumental in setting the prices for
produce and said he could produce
proofs of his charge. The matter may
be investigated. Council will take &C.
ton for or against free markets at the
next meeting. Councilmen Bartel,
Thatcher and Vessel each declared
they believed free markets were a
failure.

GOOD FORM.
How to Write Letter Recommending
Servant.

servant.
The utmost formality should be OBJ
served when writing references for
servants. because the employers are
judged by the writing quite as much
as the woman who is the subject of
the communication. AS a matter of
fact, reference as much as a social
letter is based on the old principle that
the breeding Of woman is always in
dicated by her notes.
AS a servants written reference is
likely to go into the hands of persons
who are total strangers to the writer.
1t is best to employ the third person
in the note. Thus it is made not I'M
like a circular and wholly impersonal
as far as the recipients are concerned.
The communication should always be-
gin with the name of the former en-
ployer.
For example, a woman who is dis
missing a maid may write:
Mrs. John Smith can recommend highly
the bearer Nellie Joyce, as cook or gem
eral housekeeper. She is Industrious.
cheerful interested in her work and reli-
able. She is entirely honest.
cause she is leaving town for the summer
and Nellie does not wish to so to the
country.
Care should be taken to put into the
reference the reason Of a maids ieav-
ing. for it is the first question asked
Of the woman when she is seeking a
new place. Another important point in
the communication is that the servants
honesty should be vouched for if the
former employer believes in it. If she
does not consider the woman above
suspicion in this particular it is I'M
fair to future employers to assert that
she is to be trusted
1t is also wise to include in the writ
ten character the fact that the woman
is a good worker if she has so proved
herself
For her own protection a person
writing a reference should date it not
only with the month, but with the
year: otherwise, if the woman's char
acter should change as time passes, the
person who vouched for her formerly
will find herself indorsing an individ-
ual as she would not do later perhaps.
A date prevents this, for strangers
reading reference need not be infiu.
enced by it IL 1t is several years old
Such communication should always
be written in ink.
