AS TO THE NEW BABY.
(By John Kendrick Bangs.)

He hasn't got a spear of hair
Upon his funny little head.
A patch of fuzz lies here and there,
A sort of soft and fluffy red.
His nose more like a button seems
Than anything that's like a nose,
And with a mad delight he screams
Whenever he espies his toes.
Of manners he has not a trace.
He whacks his nurse square in the
eyes;
He bangs his Daddy in the face,
And with his toes to kick him tries.
He interrupts when people speak
In most rude, uncivil way.
His language might as well be Greek
For all he ever seems to say.
His appetite he never curbs,
And yells until he gets his food.
He does not care whom he disturbs,
Or on what scenes he doth intrude.
His habits are beyond relief.
He sleeps but when it suits his
whim,
And hollers like an Indian Chief
When you refuse to play with him
He hasn't got the least respect
For regulations or for rules.
Long preachments have no more effect
Than if they had been spoke by
fools.
He bosses every one about,
And has no reverence for years.
He answers critics with pout.
And now and then with simple jeers
I sit and watch him day by day,
And marvel that that atom small
Can ever reach in any way
To stature Intellectual.
1t fills my soul with mystery
To think that it may be his fate
In some far distant day to be
"A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE!

GRASS FOR SEMI-ARtD WEST
Under Dry Conditions Sudan Variety
Has Succeeded Admirabiy-Good
Results From Broadcastinq.

Hay and forage production has
been greatly increased by the impor-
tation and adaptation Of several
plants, the cultivation of which has
been experimental with and fostered
by the United States department Of
agriculture through its bureau of plant
industry until their suitability and
reliability for the desired purpose
have been fully demonstrated and
the desired purpose have been fully

In the semt-arid west, where no per
enn1al grass has thus far been found
suited to the conditions, Sudan grass
promises high value for hay. Indeed
IL 10 not too much to predict that

leading grass for hay production. I'm
der more humid conditions 1t has also
succeeded admirably, and will prob
ably replace fox-tail millets to large
extent, as 1t produces better hay and
usually larger yields.
There is still much to learn In re-
gard to the crop, but 1t has been test
ed most carefully in Texas, as well as
at Arlington Farm, Va, and has had
at least a years trial at many places
on the great plains and at various ag-
ricultural experiment stations, and the
data at hand indicates approximately
the best methods OF culture.
Under light rainfall conditions, it is
probably best to SOW Sudan grass IN
rows, yet excellent results have been
secured In dry regions from broadcast
ing, and the grass grown that way
does not become too coarse for palata-

appearance to Johnson grass, 1t liz

communities in West Virginia that
ought to celebrate, and IL each one had
birthday cake to commemorate the
event that would make 1000 cakes
But let US put the 1000 cakes in one
big cake. A newspaper man is not, as
rule, much OF q cake maker, but after
II is made he is equal to any magician
In making it disappear. The writer is
no exception to the average newspaper
man as a pastry cook and is not, there
fore, as competent to compile figures
as some of the women who may read
this article. However, he has esti-
mated that the 1000 cakes in one
would require $4,000 eggs. $50 pounds
of butter, 300 pounds of sugar, and, of
course, other ingredients such as fla
voring extracts, flour, etc. 1t is esti-
mated that one cake would cost the
modest sum Of 80 cents; therefore, the
big birthday cake would cost $500
But let us suppose that in every com
munity where they are going to have
celebration and undoubtedly some
thing to eat in connection herewith,
that there will be at least ten cakes !;

Girls New Nose Made Out
of Ring Finger.

OI MING ringer.
Kansas City, Mo.-A young wo-
man, whose name is being with
held by the hospital authorities,
traded 'the right 6nger of her
right hand for a nose at the Ger
man hospital. The final work of
the usual operation, known to
surgeons as rhinoplssty, formed q
CLINIC for the visiting surgeons of
the Medical Society of The Mis-
souri, Valley.
The operation began January
10, at which date the young wo
man, who ia a ward of the Rev.
Horace w. Cole, pastor of the
Bales avenue Baptist church, was
taken to the hospital. The OUT
ward structure of her nose was
lost when she was 8 years old be-
cause of catarrh. She was 81.
DR.. Edward G.. Blair undertook
60 supply nose. She was willing
undergo any sacrifice and by
cheerfulness in the hospital
game known as Miss Sunshine.
The first step was to mold the
|hger into the shape Of nose and
Pnis had to be done while the
finger was attached to the hand to
give 1t life. The flesh was split
on the inside to the second joiut
aud bound to strip of celluloid
and the cut was lined with flesh
taken from the chest wall of the
young woman. The flesh was then
fashionsd to form the nostrils.
lhen be nail was removed. Even
aks stage the finger began to
take on the. shape of a nose.

still attached to the hand, was
placed In the position of the nose
and held there in plaster cast.
For three or four days the pa
tlent suffered considerable incon-
venience. Then she grew accus-
toned to the strained position of
her arm and was able to read
books and talk with her friends.
A week after the cast was pu
on she reported to DR.. Blair.
"Why, my finger feels just like
ut was my nose down this far" in.

81 knew by her answer" said
DR.. Blair, "fhat the blood circu
lation from the face to the finger
had started. The nerves were
knitting and sdjusting and that is
why part of her finger felt like
her nose"
The nineteenth day after the
finger was bound to the face the
operation was completed by am
putatIng the finger at It's base,
leaving the former finger a nose
with the blood flowing from the
face through 1t. The nose will be
given its final shaping while the
young woman Is in the GONZALES
cent ward.
The bone and flesh of the finger
up to the second joint will form
the ridge of the nose. The second
Joint will be the tip of the nose
The remainder of the bone will
form the support between the
nostrils.
No scar will be visible on the
face, DR.. Blair believes. 1.-The
scar falls into the fold of the skin
and disappears" he said.
There is even a chance, it if
said that the young woman will
retain her sense Of smell.
