sHs Located His lsmb.-The Buffalo
News tells of travelling man who. on
his marriage was given a months va
cation. He and his bride passed their
honeymoon in a quiet summer resort.
One evening as they entered the din
ing room and sat down. as usual. in a
secluded corner, the young husband no.
ticed a good customer at the table near
by.
"Say, dearest" he whispered, there
Is Mr.. Jones over there. You won't
mind if / go over and dine with him.
viii you? Think how fine It win be If
Iget back from my wedding trip with
a smashing big order!"
The little bride agreed rather rue
fully. Her travelling man hurried over
to Jones, shook hands with him and or
dered his dinner, which included roast
lamb. Then he began to talk business.
He talked, so earnestly and at such
length that he didn't notice when the
waiter removed his meat dishes and
placed desert before him. Then sud-
denly he looked down at his plate.
S"Why," he exclaimed, where's my
lamb?"
IA little voice in the corner piped
out: Here am. ;dear!"

AFTERMATH OF SUMMER.
Flowers and Plants Which Retain
Their Charms in Autumn.

Their Charms in Autumn.
1t is not Of the true autumnal flow
ers that mainly purpose to write,
says w. w. Bailey in the Providence
Journal. Still, before proceeding to
my proper subject matter, there are
several plants which l must mention
in passing.
Asters and golden-rods maintain q
pre-eminence in September in which
they have no rivals. Very often have
1 recorded their charms and their in
finite variety, so that shall not dwell
upon them now. Their cousins, the
fall dandelions, however, deserve men
ton. Beginning to bloom as early as
June, they deserve their common and
technical specific name from their
abundance in September. This very
morning here in Touisset, I have seen
several lawns starry with their golden
heads. One can never confuse them
with the ordinary dandelion, with its
simple, hollow, flowerstalks and much
larger heads. The autumn dandelion
has green, solidstriated stems and
smaller flower clusters. Moreover,
the stems branch. In parts Of New
England they are uncommon, but In
Rhode Island conspicuous. They well
come the undergraduates and incom-
ing freshmen who come up to Brown.
Another autumn plant, much less
familiar, is the grass-of-P -Parnassus,
which is not at all suggestive Of the
Saxifrage family, to which it belongs.
But, after all, that order is a very he
terogeneous one, containing such
plants as the currant hydrangea. the
garden astilbe, often falsely called a
spiraea deutzia, and the lovely wild

boy.
The grocer turned to his numerous
customers and remarked blandly:
Some people in my business don't
like particular customers, but do. It's
my delight to serve them and get them
what they want. I will attend to you

BE sure and get the same kind" said
the small boy, while the storeful Of
customers listened to him. "A lot Of

Utilizing Left. overs.-A young Irish
curate was preaching his first sermon
and chose for his text the miracle of the
loaves and fishes. He was very ner7
vous and read 1t, "And they fed five
people with five thousand loaves of
bread and five thousand fishes"
Thereat one of his rustic hearers
murmured, loud enough to be heard:
That's no miracle. begorra, I could
do that myself"
The curate overheard him, and so on
the following Sunday he announced the
same text, but had it right this time.
"And they fed five thousand people
with five loaves of bread and few
fishes"
He paused second and then leaned
over the pulpit and said:
could you do that, Mr.. Murphy"

BURN THE STALKS.
Government Urges Sound Advice On
the Farmers.

The department Of agriculture Is
sending out warnings to the farmers
in the cotton belt, cautioning them
against the spread Of the bool weevil.
1t is also advising them through field
agents how to destroy and prevent the
spread Of the insect.
Destroy the cotton stalk early In
October II possible" advises the de-
partment. Destroy your stalks even
If your less progressive neighbor does
not. 1t will pay. Clear off and burn
all your rubbish on ditchbanks and
other alternating places for the Wee
vii. This should be done early in the
fall
"Do not plant cotton after cotton
but plant your cotton on land that has
grown heavy crop Of cowpeas, vel
vet beans, Lespedeza or some other
leguminous crop to supply the land
with nitrogen and vegetable matter.
Break the land in the fall or early
winter that Is to be planted to cotton
next year.
where sufficient teams and tools
are available to plow under and COM
pletely bury the stalks this should by
all means be done. Where 1t Is I'M
possible to plow the stalks under, they
should be uprooted, raked into win
dows and allowed to dry for few
days, they should then be burned.
"To prevent the value Of destroying
the cotton stalks, the department
conducted experiments in Amite coun-
ty, Mississippi, last year, and the fol-
lowing results are shown:
"On III acres where no stalks were
destroyed but where all other instruc-
tions Of the government were follow
ed, the average yield was 61s pounds
of seed cotton per acre. On 2S acres
where the stalks were destroyed be-
fore October 10th, and the same cul-
tural methods applied, the average
yield per acre was 1850 pounds or
seed cotton, or gain Of AL pounds OF
seed cotton per acre, worth at that
time $17.64, was secured by early fall
destruction Of stalks. II 1t pays a
few men $17.64 per acre to cut their
cotton stalks before October 10th,

cry stalk in it were cut before oc-
tober 10th?" .,n. .aIl
ION the other farms In the same
county where none Of the govern
ment instructions were followed, it
took from eight to ten acres to make

mitella Thus shrubs and herbs are

miteIla. Thus shrubs and herbs are
alike found within it's limits.
Parnassus grass has large white,
anemone- like flowers Of five petals,
veined with green. The stalk Is from
one to two feet high, having single
clasping leaf near the base. Before
each petal are certain stout sterile FL
aments, claimed by Kerner as contriv-
ances to attract and deceive insects.
There is a group Of round, entire
smooth leaves near the base. There
are five proper stamens. One spe-
cies grows in New England and that
grows in low, marshy ground. Two
pretty orchids of the old genus spiran-
thes are now frequently met with In
meadows, one small and very grace
full, its flowers spirally arranged on
the stem and white in color. The
other kind has larger flowers, slightly
yellowish in hue and extremely fra
grant. There are other species less
common. One does not expect any OF
the beggar- ticks or bur-marigolds to
be SNOWY, and yet one species now In
bloom in wet places is as handsome as
golden coreopsis. find 1t here at
Touisset. - ..a.yr s.- s
But I am taking up too much space
in recording autumn flowers, whereas
my intention was to treat especially Of
such as are left over from summer.
It is we'll known that certain violets
often have a second Towering period,
while many other summer plants al
ways linger even into late atumn.
Among these butter-and-eggs, or wild
snapdragon, is familiar. Perhaps
originally introduced by the colonists
as garden flower, 1t Is now a weed,
but always lovely one, with its yell
low corona relieved by an orange-co
ored palate. All children have played
with the gaping mouths.
Bouncing-bet or Saponaria, that is,
soap-wort, has great persistency,
sometimes continuing Throughout Oc-
tober and after sharp frosts.
Today ] have seen in my meadow
walks among the conglomerate ,bould-
ers that here prevail many spikes Of
blue self heal. I have also found the
rarely pretty yellow variety OF moth
mullen, its stamens clothed with vio-
let hairs. It is pretty enough for a
garden flower. Certain thistles, again
are remnants Of summer, their great
brushes charged with crimson lake,
How the yellowbirds love to prey for
their seeds!
A few late buttercups may still be
seen, and evening primroses have tax
en- to blooming in the morning. The
opening Of their flowers Is always
miracle of beauty. Knotweeds are
generally classed as homely, but
among them there are in autumn some
pretty kinds. One of the most curious
is the small sort found in sandy places
-as near Blackstone park, In Provi-
dence, In appearance 80 like heath.
Every year 1t is sent to me to identity.
A hot, dry summer always leaves
the woods and fields with certain
rundown, bedraggled look. The To-
liage Is dirty, worm -eaten, ragged.
Notwithstanding all this, nature hangs
out bright berries Of many kinds, the
hips Of roses. the scarlet fruit OF the
black alder, and blue or white vibur-
NUNS and cornels. These and the
summer waits that linger give us a
certain promise Of bright things once
again in the years to come.

CATHOLIC DOMINATION
North Carolina Paper Makes Charge
Aaainst Associated Press.

Our daily newspapers are afraid Of
the Catholics. This fear comes from
the fact that the Catholics control the
associated press, which is the life
blood Of the daily paper. The editors
Of these journals are not in sympa-
thy with Catholicism, but they dare
not speak their honest sentiments in
their columns. There Is no excuse
for the weekly papers to be silent for
they are in no way, shape or form
dependent on the associated press,
but many Of these papers echo the
sentiments Of the dailies, and desire
to appear broad minded, however
narrow and hidebound they may real
ly be. It is pity the principle pur-
veyors Of the life and thought Of our
time are thus muzzled by any particu-
lar sect or organization. This Is no
Catholic country. The vast circula-
ton Of the Menace, an extremely bit
ter sheet, shows how strong an anti
Catholic sentiment is among the rank
and file Of our people. The Juror
that was raised over the action OF
the Charlotte school board, recently,
because it saw fit not to employ two
Catholic young ladies to teach, and
the profound silence Of the press,
except those papers that censured the
board. shows how we'll the Catholics
manage to manipulate public senti-
ment in their favor in a state almost
solidly anti Catholic. This thing Of
refusing to elect teachers because they
are Methodists, Baptists. Presbyteri-
ans and Episcopalians, is done every
year. Some school boards. being all
members Of one church, sometimes
elect only those teachers that belong
to their own denominations, and no
lawyers ever appear in anybody's be-
half and no screaming headlines tell
the story to the waiting world. But
let Catholic be touched and the cry
of persecution is Immediately raised
and the dailies and their sycophants
read solemn letters to the men who
dare discriminate against great de-
nomination. Perhaps the Catholic
church is not strengthened by such
tactics, but It is tiresome to see news
papers appoint themselves the defend
ers Of the faith, and deliver their
preachment in favor Of liberty of
speech and action, the eternal sepa-
ration Of church and state, and other
ancient axioms. The Catholics have
our newspapers, that is our daily pa
pers, nailed down hard and fast, but
they are not winning any recruits
among the people.-Charity and Chill
dren.

VOL STATE PLANS TO
KILL SUNDAY SPORTS

sharps say it viii be, it will be
against the law to engage in any
sport on Sunday in the Volunteer
state.
This would hit the golf clubs and
the country clubs of Memphis,
Nashville, Chattanooga and Knox
vile a pretty solid blow.
1t is also possible that the pas
sage Of an air-tight law against
Sunday baseball might encourage
the anti-basebaIl folks in Memphis
to shut up the sport there on Sun
day. 1t has been played there in
the past only because Memphis is a
wide open town, and no attempt is
made to enforce any laws, except
those against murder and grand
larceny.
1t is doubtful, also, if law
AGAINST golf would be binding in
any part of the state for long.
Attempts to shut down on this
sport on Sunday in good old Puri-
tan states like Massachusetts has
resulted in rank failure and if is
likely that if an anti sport Sun
DAY law is passed it would not af-
iect any sport but baseball for long.

an involuntary visit that re-
suited from an automobile
tie-up, and has headed for Rcyston,
his old home, where he will or
ganize team of Royston stars to
play another game with the Uni
versity of Georgia nine.
The game will be played as soon
as it can be arranged, for Ty Cobb
is expecting notice from President
Navin, of the Detroit club, any old
day now that the Tiger mogul has
agreed to terms. And when this
happens, Ty will report.
While Cobb is blowing through
the mud toward Royston, the Geor-
gia nine is out for its first practice.
Tho Red and Black squad has been
split into two divisions, Coach
Cunningham taking charge of the
first squad OF q men, while Cap
tain McWhorter is looking after
the remaining so.
The Red and Black will have
heavy hitting team this season, to
make up for the weakness in pitch
ing. Bob McWhorter, the captain
and center fielder, batted .337 in
1912. Bowden did all the catching,
and fell but eight points below the
coveted 800 mark. Hutchins and
Covington batted we'll above .275.

1911 to be first honor man, but

He is also the fastest man in the

Advance Guard of Cracker Club Due This Week.


ONE Of the funniest things that
- happened at the schedule
meeting Saturday was the "joker-
ing" of President Frank Coleman,
of the Memphis club. Mr.. Coleman
was made chairman OF the
meeting On the absence OF Presi-

in Washington for an important
meeting OF the river and harbors
bill). This was wight enough for
Mr.. Coleman, until the first voting
was done. Mr.. Coleman voted
against Atlanta on some point.
Whereupon President Galloway
arose to point out that the chair
could not vote. In consequence the
Memphis mogul did not put in
ballot during the entire afternoon,
though he was keen to 80 on record
on several subjects.
IT HE funniest joke Of all was one
that leaked out on President
Bob Baugh. Of the Birmingham
club when he asked waivers Gu
Padrone.
1t seems that some time in the
winter Baugh, on the recommenda-
zion of scouts. signed Cuban ball
player named Padrone, who worked
last season up in New England
somewhere. This man was TO take
the place Of the Barons' celebrated
Cuban, Almeida.
