WASHINGTON, May 26.--The cost OF
operation and maintenance OF govern
ment irrigation projects until fully
paid for by the homesteaders and
transferred to the associations OF
settlers must be borne by the home

has been handed down by the supreme
court of the United States. This de-
cision reverses a ruling of the lower
courts.
Enormous expenses in the reclama-

Newett, during the last presidential
campaign, printed a scathing editor
ial arraignment of Roosevelt and his
organization of the progressive party,

Besides fatty branding Roosevelt as
falsifier, Editor Newett wrote,
Roosevelt lies and curses in most
disgusting way; he gets drunk too,
and that not infrequently, and all his
intimates know about it."
1t was this paragraph in the editor
ial that Colonel Roosevelt based the
libel suit which went to trial today.
The editorial in question was printed
in the issue of October IL, 1912. In

The recent Chinese national educa- tional conference at Picking discussed the question of a Chinese alphabet. Four resolutions were adopted: CD That universal education and a writ ten languages should be accessible to every citizen and not to privileged few; (2) word sounds should be pro- nounced alike throughout the country; (3) in order to fix the sound of a word an alphabet is indispensable; (4} scholars versed in phonetics, and also representatives of every provincial capital, should be employed to invent or adapt signs which would form an al- phabet, and certain conditions which that alphabet should satisfy were laid down.

A Feathered Hiahwayman.

The man-o'-war hawk is some what large bird and an expert fisher, but he does most of his fishing in the air. When the booby bird comes home from abroad he finds the man-o'-waT hawk "layin' for him. and however persistently he may seek to escape by dashing flight, with much screeching and screaming he finds that before he can safely set foot on the land he must disgorge a fish or two, which the swift pursuer adroitly catches in the air. It seems, however, to be general ly understood as a moduS vivendi be- tween the fisher and the pirate birds that their contentious were only on the wing, and that once on land they should dwell peacefully in their sep arate camping grounds.
 The boobies are awkward and un- wieldy on land, and may be easily captured They rarely seek to escape when a man approaches, but, accus- toned to meet the demands of their familiar enemy. the man -o'-war hawk, by disgorging a fish in the air, they frequently resort to the same process stranger what stock of fish they have available. The man-o'war hawks turned this practice to their own ad- vantage by following after any man who might appear among the nesting birds, circling in the air, just over head, ready to pick up the fish which the frightened boobies might give up as a peace offering. The man-o'war hawks were generally eager for any thing, and would hover closely ready to take from the hand of a man what ever he might toss in the air. On one occasion one of these birds swiftly snatched a notebook which lay for a moment on the ground, and sailed away, dropping it, however, on finding it to be neither fish nor rat.

So far his ma ajesty has not a single grand daughter; indeed. there is becoming a quite serious dearth of princesses in the imperial family of Germany at the present time. The emperor himself has six sons to one daughter His only brother, Prince Henry. has two sons and no daughter. His cousin, Prince Frederick Leopold of Prussia (brother of the duchess of Connaught) has three sons to one daughter. The late Prince Albert, regent of Brunswick, left three sons and no daughter.
