Shrubs for Birds.

Smoothly trimmed hedges and the
stif trees Of a formal sarden are not
nearly so attractive to birds as un-
trained bushes and tangled thickets.
Shrubs Of sterile varieties or those
closely pruned after blooming are not
sought BY birds. while those allowed
to ripen fruit are often crowned with
feathered visitors. Moreover, plants
clustered with fruit of varying color
are more beautiful and interesting
than those which exhaust their energy
In one burst Of bloom and are Of mo-
notonous appearance thereafter.

CURIOSITY OF MODERN SLANG

ago, either-when the only distinc-
lively American expression known In
this country was 81 guess" To say

with success-to speak It through
your nose, was the recognized way Of
impersonating an American. It was
always sure of an appreciative and I'M

dicates, Eyes, yes; I'm just. as intelli-
gent as you, and know exactly what

know why, our common speech is well
favored with transatlantic idioms. Not
always slang, we mean. American
slang has its uses, though the only one
we can think Of at the moment is that
it saves trouble. When one has clas-
sified ones friends and acquaintances
as "the limit" and "the goods" one
has been spared much labor Of char

spreading like a canker through all
classes Of the community-even to
those conservative gentlemen, the
dramatists, who name their new pro-
auctions "The Glad Eye" or Looking

told by apologists for the habit that all
the expressions we have noted are to
be found in Shakespeare or Milton.

The funeral of the Rev. T. H. Ware, one of the states most distin gulshed Methodist ministers, was held Sunday afternoon at Little Rock. He died at Camden last Fri day. He was born March 20, 1846, in Taladega, Ala, and had lived in Arkansas since before the war.

He is we'll known in Conway, having served on the board of trustees of Hendrix Col lege for many years.

The Danish royal yacht Dannebrog ar
rived at noon today at the Toldboden
wharf. in the inner harbor. near Amalien-

A procession then was formed, headed
by a large force of cavalry King Chris

sonages followed the nearse on foot. Then
came carriages containing Dowager Queen
Louisa, Queen .Alexandrine and several
Of the princesses The streets from the
landing place to the palace were thronged
with people
On arrival at the chapel of Christian
borg Castle the coffin was borne in by
officers and placed on a catafalque The

rounded the coffin and knelt for some
minutes in silent prayer. Before leaving

LOBBYISTS Hear His Advice.

Listening to his advice were at least
half a dozen well known lobbyists of the
District of Columbia. Every one Of them
had gone to the District of Columbia COM
mittee room this morning with view to
adding a little boost to some bill.
For the first time in some months the
District committee did not report favor
ably any legislation after this meeting.
With the utilities bill. the excise bill and
scores Of other important pieces of legis-
lation waiting to get on the House cal
endar, the District committee could not
get quorum today until 1O:45 o'clock.
Chairman Johnson sent hurry-up calls
throughout the Office building and barely
got enough men to make a meeting. As
the House sits at II o'clock now, the
1O:45 meeting had just fifteen minutes
for work.
James Freeland, the park policeman,
who went away with the anti-lobbying
advice, took up about five minutes in his
argument for more pay. Representative
Littlepage of West Virginia consumed
about four minutes asking that the prop
erty yard on West Virginia avenue be
done away with. After that the COM
mittee went into executive session. Be-
hind closed doors the committee decided
to send the loan shark bill to conference.

Commissioners Would Have

Amendment Of the code of law of the
District relating to notaries public. which
will permit a person holding that Office
to qualify as a juror in all civil and

District Commissioners in a report to
Congress. The report deals primarily
with the bill Of Representative Prouty of

law relating to notaries public. which
would bring about minor changes in the
wording of the section.
THE Commissioners are not advised of
the reasons for the proposed changes.

states the report. IF Congress should
deem it proper to enact the bill with
these changes. it is suggested that a pro-
viso also be added which will permit a
person holding an Office as notary public
to qualify as a juror in all civil and
criminal cases in the District of Colum-
bia. Local courts have held that notaries
public are officers Of the government and
are improper persons to serve on juries.

LOOK FOR RATIFICATION
Anthracite Miners Expected to
Sanction Agreement With
Operators.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, May 17.-Devel-
opments in the anthracite miners con-
vention today. according to the leaders,
make it practically sure that a majority
of the delegates will ratify the agreement
entered into with the coal operators and
bring the present suspension to an end
in a short time.
The missionary work among those who
have opposed the agreement. the leaders
say, is bringing results.
The vice president of the first district.
who was opposed to the agreement, to-
day announced he was in favor of it.
The president of the seventh district
spoke in favor of the abolition of the
sliding scale, and an influential delegate
among the foreigners in the Schuylkill
region, who has been strongly opposed to
the agreement, took the floor and indi-
Gated that he was in favor of doing away
with the sliding scale.
The action of these men is expected to
have an influence on delegates opposed
to the agreement, especially the foreigners.
