HARD TO DRIVE FROM NEST
Remarkable Case Of Devotion TO Homo
Shown by Nesting Meadow Lark
in Massachusetts.

An endearing trait in birds Is their
love OF home, and the bravery with
which they face danger In protecting
their eggs or baby birds. They seem
to become very tame at such times;
not seldom a person who approaches
them quietly may, after a few gentle
attempts, stroke mother bird as she
broods But It Is really courage, and
not enjoyment OF the attention, that
she displays.
An interesting example OF the strong
attachment OF bird to its home, as
well RS its adaptability to unusual cir
cumstances, was given by meadow
lark that found itself day after day
under gun-fre, and learned not to
fear It.
At the practice grounds OF the
United States marine corps at Wake
field, Mass. some low mounds were
raised on the firing line On the
front side Of one of these mounds a
meadow lark built its nest, and had
laid its eggs when the seasons prac.
tice in target shooting and skirmish
drill began. The life OF the man ly-
ing on the mound was directly over
the nest, and not more than two feet
above IT,
At first the birds would fly away.
when the firing skirmsh line was still
at some distance; but as the practice
continued, they became accustomed to
the noise They would wait until the
men came very near before flying, and
would return Immediately after. AS
the time came for the eggs to hatch,
one Of the birds would stay on the
nest during the firing. even If rifle
were held just above her head. The
marines were very careful not to dis
turb the little family When the young
came they we're nourished amid the
smoke of battle, as it were, and finally
left the nest unharmed.-Youths Com

Plus May Define Dogma

Rome. Aug. 14.-Unusual credence
has been given to report circulating
in this city today to the effect that
Pope Plus is taking steps for the
proclamation as a part of the funda-
mental dogma of the Catholic church
OF the doctrine of the Assumption of
the Virgin Mary. The feast of the
Assumption of the Blessed Virgin
Mary is set down in the Catholic cal
endar of established feast days for
August 10, and it is limited that his
Holiness may make his proclamation
tomorrow. Should he succeed in
carrying out his present desire, it
will be the first time dogma has
been proclaimed by pope since 1870.
the last previous to that being in
1854.
1t is now known that since his
recent illness Pope Plus, realizing
that his active pontificate is prac-
tcally at an end has expressed the
desire to some of the highest digni-
taries of the Catholic church at Rome
to round out his career by this last
great act. During his entire pontffi-
cate Pope Plus X, has devoted prac-
tically his entire time, effort and
energy to the building up of the re-
ligious side of the church only, pay
ing little, if any, attention to the po
litical side which had been the sole
concern of his predecessor, NH.
The proclamation of this new dog
ma by him now, as the last great act
of his pontificate. will be in perfect
harmony, he is said to feel, with all
that he has sought to accomplish up
to date 1t would stamp his entire
ponti'icate as one essentially and
wholly religious.

WATER SUPPLY AND EDU.
CATION.
:: :! :: u :: :. ., :! :: :: :: :. :: .: 3. 3,

President Joe Cook, of the Missis
sippi normal college, believes that
the first step in the education OF
women in the country should be the
elimination of needless farm drudg-
cry. No matter how good the rural
school may be- he declares, it can
not help permanently in making life
in the country attractive unless there
goes with it the movement to tighten
the labor of women on the farm.
The water supply in particular rous-
es President Cooks Indignation. He
is convinced that as much as nine
tenths of the drudgery of women on
the farm is due TO antiquated meth
ods of handling the water supply
Here is the way he states the case
in a bulletin of the United States
bun'au Of education:
"The getting of the water from the
source of supply to the point of ap-
pication requires more manual la
bar than any other item of house
keeping. The water for the kitchen
has to be lifted from the well, car
ried to the kitchen, poured into q
kettle, poured out Of the kettle into
the dishpan, and from the dishpan
out of doors. This makes six times
the water is handled; and a bucket
of water containing gallons, with
the containing vessel will weigh 20
pounds. When this is handled six
times, the total lifting at 100
pounds. The cooking of three meals
a day on a meager allowance of water
will necesstate 10 buckets, which
will make for cooking alone 1900
pounds of lifting per day. When 10
this is added the water necessary
for bathing, scrubbing, and the week.
ly wash, it will easily bring the lit
per day up to a ton; and the lifting
of a ton per day will take the r'as-
ITCHY out of a woman's step, the
boom out of her cheek, and tie en-
joyment from her soul"
To eliminate this item Of drud2ery
is easy, according to President Cook.
All that is necessary is for the farm
er to realize that the farm i, also
heir to modern invention: 'An iso-
lated farm can be supplied with
system of waterworks for an outlay
of about $780, pump, $25; gasoline
ergine $40, tank 500; bathtuG $40;
commode $40; kitchen sink s4; basin
81; 500 feet of pipe $40; valves and
installation SIS. These figures are
for first class porcelain-li lined fix
lures; cheaper fixtures can be had.
Such system if intellgently and
compactly planned, will not only sup
ply all of the household needs, but
will supply practically all Vt the
farm needs besides"

Estimating Your Supplies

certain supplies last has been tested

supplies will last can the army and
other large institutions buy intelli

While many women are good mana

long coffee. tea, staples. cereals, ETC.

Ingersoll on Tobacco

These leaves make friends and Gel
ebrate with gentle rites the vows Of
peace. They have given consola-
tion to the world. They are the com
panions of the lonely, the friends OF
the imprisoned of the exile, of
workers in mines the fellers of for
ests, of sailors on the deep seas
They are givers of strength and calm
to the veXed and wearied minds Of
those who build with thought and
brain the temples of the soul. They
tell of hope and rest. They smooth
the wrinkled brows OF care: drive fear
and strange misshapen breads from
out of the mind and fill the heart
with rest and peace. Within Their
magic warp and woof some potent
gracious spell imprisoned lies, that
when released by fire, doth softly
steal within the fortress of the brain
and bind in sleep the captured sen
tinels Of care and grief. These
leaves are the friends of the fire
side, and their smoke-like incense
rises from myriads of happy homes
Cuba is the smile of the sea.

County Attorney ID. X. Pope filed
information in the county court Of
Oklahoma county Tuesday, charging
Leslie G.. Niblack. editor Of the
Guthrie Leader and Henry f. Der
win, business manager, with having
presented false and counterfeit evi
dence to the state auditor of Okla
homa on which they received war
rant for S2,230 in payment for 2,40O
ed the state treasurer November s,
1910 The information alleges that
the claim was presented to the state
auditor, November II. 1911, and sworn
to by Niblack as being true and cor
rect.
The information sets forth that at
the time of presentation it was the
duty of the state auditor to deter
mine whether the claim had been
approved by the state treasurer.
Document Altered?
The information charges that the
purported signature of u. A. Menife"
and the words Received and approx
ed by" had been false forged and
counterfeited. 1t is further alleged
in the information that the purport-
ed signature of r. J Allen as chair
man Of the state board of public af-
fairs had been forged and counter
feited so as to make the claim pur-
port to show it had been duly audit
ed and approved, November 9, 1910,
by the chairman, to the amount OF
s2,13O 80. The information alleges
that the certificate Of Lyman J. Gray
notary public, before whom the claim
was sworn was altered by the true
date, November Il, 1911, being
changed to November II, 1910.
Figures Changed
1t is further charged that the fig
ures 1856, being the order number and
4S2, being tie claim number were
falsely prepared. 1t is charged that
State Treasurer MeneFee had not re-
cefved the supplies named in the
claim and had not signed or approv-
ed the claim; also that the state
board of public affairs had not or
dered the supplies or approved the
claim, nor had r. J. Allen signed or
stamped his name upon the claim.
The second count in the informa
ton charges that Niblack and Der
VIM November II, 1911 obtained from
the state auditor Leo Meyer, war
rants amounting to s2,130 so, issued
in payment of the claims, alleged in
the information to have been forged
and altered.
Niblack and Derwin were indicted
by the Oklahoma county grand jury
last winter on charges similar to
those embodied in the information,
but when the case came up for hear
ing before Judge George w. Clark,
they We're dismissed on demurrer.
Niblack and Derwin were by agree
ment held under bond pending the
preparation of further charges by the
county attorney.
