CHILDREN ARE FLAT-FOOTED
Investigation Shows That to Be
Largely the Condition Among
Atlanta Youngsters.

NTA.-AIthoug fond At
lanta mothers would be loath to ad-
nit the fact, statistics show that one
third of the children in Atlanta pub
lie schools are flat-footed.
This condition has been found to
prevail not only in Atlanta but in
most other American cities, and it
is suggested that it is probably due
to the fact that city children do very
little steady walking. They ride to
school on the street car, and though
they may take exercise when they
play it is usually in running and
jumping, neither of which develop
the arch of the foot as walking does.
The arch foot is needed for the
proper poise of the body, and can to
some extent be acquired, physicians
say, by proper exercise.

MIDLAND, Texas.-Recalling the
days of Roy Bean, the famous justice
of the peace who a number of years
ago was known as 'all the law west
of the Pecos," Judge J. H. Knowles
of the commissioners court here to-
day laid aside his official dignity long
enough to engage in f1stic fight.
During the session Judge Knowles,
presiding, made an assertion regard
ing a previous ruling of the court.
Inasmuch as the commissioners
court is a county tribunal of consid
cradle Importance in the county
comments on it's rulings are not to
be lightly made, even by the pre-
siding justice. So thought Commits
sioner julie Driver, who was present.
No sooner had the offending remark
been made than he arose and ex-
claimed:
You are liar, Judge"
The court did not hesitate.
This court will stand adjourned,
announced Judge Knowles, until /

Then it happened. Those who saw
the fight say the judge scored the
greatest number of pugilisttc points.
A few minutes later the judge re-
convened court, fined himself for
fighting and paid the fine.
The court then went back to work,
and its dignity was not further ruff
fled.

HAWKS DESTROY GAME BIRDS.
Famous DIR. Warren Tells of Visit
to Woods in Bradford County.

From the Scranton Times the fol-
lowing is taken: DR.. B. H. Warren,
director of the Evarhart Museum,
recently found nine broods of
pheasants (ruffed grouse) with the
parent birds in wooded districts near
Rome, Bradford county.
From eight to eleven young were
seen with each pair of young birds.
These young pheasants were about
the size of the common quail and
would weigh six or seven ounces
each. The birds, both old and
young, frequented spring heads,
boggy and humid grounds, in or
near the edges of woodland, where
rank weeds, raspberry bushes, etc,
grew in abundance. In one strip of
woodland where three families of 80
pheasants lived, pair of sharp-shin-
ned or little blue-backed hawks, with
three of their young were living. The
young hawks were full grown.
These keen-eyed hawks frequent
ed constantly the localities where
the pheasants lived, and in a period
OF two weeks they are believed to
have killed and devoured 22 of the
young grouse, as one hawk was shot
with young pheasant in its claws,
and another had in its stomach the
foot of a young grouse and the head
and feet of thrush.
When pheasants are young, /. e.,
in the downy dress, and depend on
skulking or hiding in the leaves and
thick underground, they very often
escape hawks, but as they develop
and are able to fly, 20, 80 or so
yards, and perch in trees as is their
custom when they grow to the size
of a quail they are easy prey for
predatory apd swift-winged de-
stroyers, such as the sharp-shinned
and Cooper's hawks.
In one tract of timber of some GO
acres three families of grouse or 2S
young birds were discovered. In the
same woods were three red-tailed
hawks and a pair OF Cooper's or
long-tailed blue hen hawks. In a
period of IL days from the time the
pheasants were first observed, 22I
of the young were killed, one flock
being entirely destroyed, in another
which originally contained IL young
only two were alive, and the third
covey of 10 young was reduced to
four.
One of the red tailed hawks, also
called big hen hawks" was shot.
In its viscera were portions of a
young rabbit, the tail and foot of a
red squirrel, hair of meadow
mouse, a craw fish and few feath-
ers and part of the bill of a pleas
ant. In the stomach of a Cooper's
hawk were feathers of a flicker and
the feet OF two young pheasants.
Pheasants, both adult and young,
during the Summer season, subsist
to a large extent on insect life. The
young birds, during the first few
weeks of their existence, live al
most wholly on insects, particularly
larye, worms and small beetles. In
the autum chestnuts, beechnuts,
acorns, frost grapes and numerous
other vegetable substances are eaten.

Steene, Aug. 10,
The funeral of the late Mrs. James
Keene was largely attended from her
late home at Keens, Wednesday. The
Rev. DR.. Swift of Honesdale assisted
by Rev. Burch of Waymart officiated;
interment at Keens. The pallbear-
ers were: William Cliff, Thomas
Cole, George Nichols, Harry Keene,
Robert Hoil and Albert Hull.
Mr. and Mrs. John Jenkins visited
Mr.. and Mrs. William Batten in the

Mr.. and Mrs. Ray Foster returned
to Carbondale on Sunday after a few
days visit with the formers mother
and grandmother here.
While fishing around the shores of
Curtis Lake, Saturday, in the happy
land of Canaan, John Wesley Arnold
received the worst scare of his life.
He had landed a large fish which
dropped from his hook back in the
field about three rods from where he
stood fishing. So intent was he on
securing his prize that he threw his
pole and line down and darted to
where he thought his fish had land
ed. On reaching the spot, there to
his horror he discovered a large rat
tier all coiled and ready to spring.
But Mr.. Arnold had no weapons, so
he left Mr.. Rather to look after all
fish that came his way. Mr.. Arnold
looks ten years older to-day than he
did. And he says he came very near
reaching down and picking up the
snake, supposing surely that it was
the fish he landed. He declared the
rattler was all of five feet in length,
although he didn't have his glasses
on.
Arthur Robinson, who rents the
late Ralph Haley's farm in Canaan,
can truthfully say that he has the
best looking crops of any farmer in
Wayne county. The soil is natural
ly wet, so much so that a long spell
of dry weather doesn't affect the
crops after getting started. Mr..
Robinson's rutabaga crop will alone
pay for the rent for the whole farm
this season. He received one hun
dred dollars from his dairy of COWS
during the month of July.
