Work of tho Beaver.

The beavers conservation work Is accomplished principally by means of the dams he constructs. These dams, we are told by Enos A. Mills, author of Tn Beaver World" save soil, check erosion, reduce flood damage, store wa ter and help to sustain stream flow, provide waterholes for fish and are helpful in maintaining deep water ways by reducing the extremes of both high and low water and also reduce the quantity of sediment carried down into the river channels. When we take into consideration the fact that at one time in the country's history the beaver population was Upward of a hundred million,'' 1t is possible to real ize what may have been accomplished by him along conservation lines. Like other wild creatures of mountain and plain he suffered from the advance of civilization, though he was prime fac tor in bringing this about.

Work of the Doctor.

Dr. Stephen Paget has some interest. ing observations on the doctor and his rewards in his "Confessio Medici" If medicine is a trade why should the doctor so often work for nothing?" he asks. "If it is an art what works of art does he produce? None. says Claude Bernard. 'Le medecin artiste ne cree rien.' But surely he is wrong. The doctor, so far from creating noth- ing, creates life. for he saves or pro- longs life, creates more life. If Miss X. is seventy, and the doctor by an op- eration enables her to live till she is seventy-five he has not prolonged the seventy years, for they were ended be. fore he came. but he has created Ave brand new years. If he had not been there they would not be here. That is creation" Chronicle.

They can also tel! by throwing the beam horizontally whether the fog is of great extent or whether it exists only in patches. If the fog extends great distance then the beam will become gradually more and more dim. If the fog exists only in patches, then the beam Is lighter in patches, and if it proceeds through a place where there is no fog at all that part of the beam will be black or tnv!sible.-Harper's.

DEFENSE TRIES TO SHOW
 FRANK DID NOT KILL GIRL

Atlanta, Ga., Aug. /S.-Efforts by the defense to repudiate the testi- mony of State witnesses continued to day in the trial of Leo M. Frank, charged with the murder of Mary Phagan.
 Mrs. Daisy Hopkins, mentioned in the testimony of James Conley and c. E. Dalton, denied statements made by both that she had visited the pencil factory, where the murder occurred, with Dalton.
 Two street railway employees testi- fled today that they manned the car on which the Phagan girl came to the pencil factory on the day of her dis appearance. According to their testi- mony the girl left the car between 12:07 and 1925 on that day and start ed in the direction of the pencil fac tory two blocks away.
 James Conley already had testified that the girl came in the factory a few minutes ahead of Monteen Stover. another employee. Miss Stover, on the witness stand, stated that she entered the factory at 12:o5 and left at 12:10.

ASOUITH MEETS
 WITH SUFFRAGISTS

London, Aug. S.-Premier Asquith discussed woman suffrage today with Mrs. Milicent Fawcett, president of the National Union of tWoman's Suf- frage Societies, and her no-militant colleagues. They urged him to bring in a government measure giving women the franchise. The premier complimented his visitors on their excellent methods, which, he said, were a welcome contrast to the criminal proceedings of the militant suffragettes.
 .'The final word on woman suf- frage," said MT. Asquith, who declar- ed he had experienced no change of heart, ''is regarding the people. If the women are able to convince the people that such a change is desira- ble and beneficial no combination in the world can prevent the attainment of their object"

CHARGED THE ENEMY. "
It Wasn't Because He Was Brave and
 Oofied Death. 7houoh

t Wasn't 6eeause He Was Brave and Dsfied Death, Though. General Basil Duke of Louisville, commander of Morgans cavalry fol. lowing the death of his brother-in-law, General John Morgan, told this story at a reunion of the survivors of the battle of Shiloh.
 He said that during one of the Ten nessee campaigns Morgan's men sur prised and drove back a regiment of Federal troopers. In the midst of the retreat one of the enemy, who was mounted upon a big bay horse. sud. denly turned and charged the victori- Ous Confederates full tilt, waving his arm and shrieking like mad as he bore down upon them alone Respecting such marvellous courage, the Confed- crates forbore shooting the approach ing foe, but when he was right upon them they saw there was different reason for his foolhardiness.
 He was a green recruit. His horse had run away with him. The bit had broken, and, white as a sheet and scared stiff. the luckless youth was be- ing propelled straight at the whooping Kentuckians, begging for mercy as he came.
 Jeff Sterritt, a noted wit of the com- mand. stopped the horse and made willing prisoner of the rider. Sterritt. who had not washed or shaved for days and was a ferocious looking per son, pulled out a big pistol. "I don't know whether to kill you right now," he said, Tor wait until the fight Is over"
 Mister" begged the quivering cap- tive, don't do 1t at all. I'm dissi- pated character, and ain't prepared to die" e."-Philadelphia Saturday Even ing Post.

PULLMAN IS THIRD TO
 CLASH WITH CONDUCTOR

Washington, Aug. S.-Senator Till man of South Carolina is the latest national legislator to clash with a street car conductor, and today ne was engaged in cooling off" as he expressed it, before determining whether he would file charges against the man. Within the past few weeks Representative Sisson of Mississippi and Representative Buchanan of llli- nois have clashed with conductors on Pennsylvania avenue street cars.
 eff this keeps up," said the senator today, laughingly, well have to or ganize the solons street car society for conductor chasing. It seems about to become the most popular summer sport with Congress.
 Senator and Mrs. Tillman boarded a car at the capitol to ride to thelr home. He preferred his tickets while standing on the step, and according to his account, the conductor ordered him into the platform Gin an abrupt and discourteous manner" The clash followed and the senator took the mans name and number. The con- ductor today denied that he had been of intended to be discourteous or ab- rupt.

REAL ROOF GARDENS.
Tho Kind They Plant on Log cabins
 In Rural Norway.

In Rural Norway.
 The log cabins of rural Norway are built of heavy pine logs hewed square and of equal size from end to end. They are usually stained or oiled, and their rich yellowish or brownish color Is in harmony with almost any sur- roundings. Their roofs are sodded, a circumstance that adds picturesqueness to the general effect.
 'I have come across roofs that were riot of wild pansies." says writer in the Craftsman, "and l have seen wonderful roofs where wild roses hung over the caves or daisy roof, the eff. feet of whose white, starlike flowers, topping the dark brown structure. was a1quisitely picturesque.
 "Some roofs produce only pasture grass, and the story runs in Norwegian folklore that lazy man led his COW on the roof-the cabin was built against a hill-instead of taking her to the pas ture. have no doubt that the story Is true, for have often seen a couple of white kidlets gamboling on the soft green housetOps while the mother goat, grave and ruminative. was tethered to the chimney.
 "Sod roofs are just as water tight as others if they are laid correctly. A board roof is first laid upon house, and this is covered with a layer of birch bark. On top of this comes layer of sod with the grass turned dowp to the roof. then rather thick layer of earth and finally another layer of sod, this time with the grass up. The result is most exquisite and poetical covering for the house."

FEAR FOR CHILDREN
 LOWERS ATTENDANCE
Judge Rand Love Says Parents of Blind Children Have Peculiar Opin-
 ion of State Institution.

Little Rock, Aug. S.-Fear that if they are parted from their blind chill dren, to send them to the State School for the Blind, they will never see them again, accounts for the failure of number of parents of blind chill dren to send them to that institution, i5 the opinion of Judge Rand Love, of the State Board of Charities.
 Judge Love has been making tour of Arkansas, going into the remote regions in an effort to have the 90 blind children who are not enrolled at the blind school, sent to the insti- tuition this fall. He has visited over 50 families, and with the single excep- tion of one, which expects to move out of the state, all have promised to send the children. Judge Love has explain ed that the children will receive rail- road fare, their clothes, and be cared for during the school year at the ex- pense of the state.
 Most of the parents apparently con- sidered trip to Little Rock an exert ion of a life time, and to believe that if the children were taken that far from home. and out of their care, they would never see them again. There are three blind children in the rural districts of Pulaski county, less than 20 miles from the school, whose par ents have never entered them, though annually solicited to do so. The par ents cannot fathom the interest of the state in the blind children, such as to do so much for nothing.
