A most peculiar fact is, that not all
good stories will make a good play.
In fact, few stories trausplanted from
the realm of lone of the six best sell
els to the realm of the footlights,
ever survive one season, bat are rele-
gated to the junK heap, with a speed
that gives Mr.. Producer pause. Sell
dom has a novel in dramatic form been
attended with such success as 1.-The
Great Divide" by William Vaughn
Moody. The play was frst produced
at the Princess Theatre and Days
Theatre in New York city, where it
bad a run fol- 500 nights and for the
past few seasons has maintained its
place among the really successful
plays on the road. Mr. G.. s. Prim-
rose. the present producer, has the
play equipped in a very sumptuous
manner with a complete scenic pro-
duction. The cast is an elegant one
and will be one of the best attractions
that will visit Madison this season

The Convenience of Checks

Of the billions of dollars changing hands daily in
business transactions, less than five per cent is actual
money. Checks,-or written orders representing the
actual money are more convenient in business
than cash.
On receipt of your first deposit with this bank, we
give you your bank book and blank checks Instead
of carrying your money about, you carry your checks
and write them for the amount of purchases or OBJ
legations. The checks that others give you in pay
ment are brought to us for deposit to your credit
and in turn the amount may be checked upon by
you. If a check is lost the bank is notified and pay
ment is stopped.
Checks are desirable because all chance of loss, error
and theft are avoided. When paid and returned by
the bank, they are an indisputable receipt. Such
protection is valuable to your business, yet a check
account with this bank costs you nothing whatever.

BALTIMORE OR|OLE
Friendly to Msn-Peculiar Nest
Building-A Social
Family

K. e. Ford in Sioux City Tribune:
In the study Of the Baltimore Oriole,
your interest will he divided between
the bird itself and the truly remark
able nest which il builds. And Of
the two, the nest is probably of the
greater interest. We have other birds
with as bright plumsge, but you will
have to hunt far to find a nest of more
striking workmanship. They are bas-
ket shaped, large at the bottom and
from five to 10 inches deep, and ale
suspended from the outermost tip of a
branch, quite high from the ground.
They are composed of vegetable fibers,
Irvine and horse hair. So securely are
they woven together and so firmly fas-
tened to the branch that only rarely are
they injured by the most severe storm
and frequently remain intact for sew
eral years and are used in succeeding
seasons. 1t is as neat a cradle as
there is to be found in the bird wor Id,
in which the baby orioles spend the
first few days of their lives.
The parent birds arrive from the
south at Sioux City about May 2. An
Armour, s. d., observer says they do
not reach that point until about May
ID to ID, so it would appear that they
travel leisurely, at the rate of about
90 to rs miles per week. Nesting
begins in the early days of June.
The eggs number four to six and are
pale grayish or drab color, with a
few scrolls like arks and blotches OF
dark brown. They are somewhat So
cial in disposition, several pairs often
building in the same tree, and they
are always found near the haunts of
man. Their very name indicates this
fact in a way. Baltimore was not a
naturalist who sought out some shy
bird in a distant part of the land and
thus bestowed his name on a new
species. The Baltimore was none
other than Lord Baltimore, the founder
of Maryland, and for whom the city
was named. When he first came to
America he saw these birds near his
dwelling and, because their plumage
resembles in color his livery, they
were given his name.
They are among u very sweetest
singers. In the spring and early sum-
mel they make the groves, orchard and
farm yards CHEEKY with their merry
whistle or MARBLE, but in the late sum.
mer they are very quiet.
They are largely insectivorous,
though il must be confessed that they
do take a little fruit occasionally. But
we would have to be very stingy in
deed if we would deny them a little
food when they destroy 80 many insects
and are a joy both to the eye and the
ear.
They leave us for their winter quar-
tiers shortly after September II.

WATER STANDS IN MANY TOWNS.
People Go About Business in Boats.
Very Little Suffering.

Vidalia, La, April 30.-The con-
tinued crumbling of the Mississippi
river levee at the break near Gibson's
Landing, which Is about 1000
feet wide, has increased the volume
Of water pouring out over Concordia
and adjoining parishes and this secA
lion probably will be flooded to a
depth of at least one foot in excess of
high water stage of last year, when
the same territory was flooded by
~crevasses at Alsatia and further
north.
The town Of Ferriday, which is an
important railroad junction, with a
population Of 1000, is covered with
two to five feet of water, but there
Is no current in the water there and
the residents are riding about the
streets in skiffs, worrying very little
about the water. The bank at Ferri-
day has been temporarily moved to a
second floor and merchandise in the
stores has been placed on scaffolding
about four feet above the floors.
Back water from the crevasse has
spread thirteen miles north and is
in the streets Of Waterproof, but the
citizens Of that place are not alarmed,
as they do not expect the water to
reach a dangerous depth. The wa
ter Is spreading rapidly over the
Swamps north Of Vidalia.
Several hundred additional refu-
gees were taken to Natchez from
Vidalia and from the levees north of
hero last night and early this morn
ing.

No Second Questioner.

When a noted Irish orator was in
America a few years ago he appear
ed at a meeting in st. Louis and de-
livered an address on the subject OF
Home Rule for Ireland" There
were 5000 of his countrymen in the
audience. At the close of his re-
marks the chairman asked:
Would any one like to ask the
speaker a question:"
A man in the rear of the hall, who
was evidently under the influence of
liquor, arose and said:
will the gentleman tell. us if
there is any reason why the Irish
should not be wiped off the ace OF
the earth?"
Immediately pandemonium reign
ed. The disturber was attacked

came from all directions.
Finally he was rescued by police
men,, and, torn and bleeding and in
an unconscious condition, was placed
in an ambulance which had been
called. Order was in a measure re-
stored. While the audience could
still hear the clatter of the ambu~

Would anybody else like to ask

BIGGEST OAK IN THE WORLD.
This Claim is Set Up by Toombs
County, Georgia.

The biggest oak tree in the world
Is in Toombs county, Georgia. At
least that Is what w. H. Sharpe, q
member OF the Toombs County Board
of Education, and a citizen of the
southern section of the county says
To support his claim, says a dis
patch in the Savannah News, Mr..
Sharpe displayed a newspaper clip
ping in which 1t is claimed the larg-
est oak tree in the world is in the
Sacramento Valley, in California, it's
dimensions being twenty-three feet
and one inch in circumference and
105 feet tall.
Mr.. Sharpe says in the southern
section of Toombs county, on the
farm of s. P. Smith, there Is a giant
live oak which measures nearly 25
feet In circumference. The shade OF
the tree at noon covers more than a
fourth of an acre. 1t Is probably not
so tall as the California tree, but
nevertheless Mr.. Sharpe thinks it is
entitled to the distinction OF being
the largest oak in the world.

Narcotic Bullet" VIII Stop All the
Horrors of War.
(New York Tribune


United States army officials are ex-
p~erimenting with an invention of AL
eXander f. Humphrey, a pattern ma
ker of this city, that may revolution
lie warfare, big game hunting, polio
ing, and every line of work in which
bullets play a part.
Narcotic bullet" describes the in
Vention in a word.
In his sleep-producing missile
Humphrey uses a minute particle of
morphia. The drug is carried in tiny
wells in the steel Jacket of the regu-
lation army bullet. Humphrey
claims that 1t in no wise ln~terferes
with he effectiveness of the missile.
The soldier receiving a slight
flesh wound from the new bullet"
said MIR. Humphrey, fights no more
that day. He calmly stretches him
self on the ground and goes to sleep.
The man receiving a serious wound
suffers no agony, as the narcotic from
the bullet is absorbed by his system
and he Is i~nsensible to pain before
he reaches the hospital. The man
whose wound is mortal sleeps away
his last hours, thus doing away with
the most Of the battlefield horror.
THE fleeing burglar is shot in the
arm, runs forward a short distance,
stretches himself on the sidewalk
and all the policeman has to do is
summon an ambulance and take him

RAISING CHICKENS IN TEXAS.
This Man Matches Biddies 1t Ratio
OF One Every Twelve Seconds.

There Is now in operation in Port
capable of turning out a chicken
every twelve seconds for twenty-four
hours a day and for three hundred
and sixty-five days in q year., says
Technical World.
The mamomth hatcher Is the third
Of it's type built by the inventor, who
was formerly a poultry expert for the
government. 1t is the second largest
Matching establishment In the world,
being slightly exceeded in capacity
by a hatchery at Petaluma, Cal,
which holds 1875. 900 eggs as against
10000 in theTTexas machine.
Perhaps the most remarkable fea~
ture of this plant is the fact that all
the eggs, together with room for
handling chick packing, and all en-
gines, fans and equipment, occupy
but a single floor, 10 by so feet. Fur
nished with common incubators such
a room would have just about the
same capacity in three weeks as this
plant has In a single day.
One of the unique improvements
In the Texas plant is a turning sys-
tenn, by which the compartments
holding 10000 eggs are swung on q
pivot and the eggs are turned by In
verting the entire compartment. This
enables one a to turn 100, OO0
eggs In less than two minutes.
These eggs are ventilated and
maintained at an equal temperature
by an eight hundred pound centrifu-
gal fan, requiring four horsepower
to operate 1t, and the temperature is
regulated to a tenth of one degree,
while water sprays regulate the mois-
ture to q similar nicely.
The eggs are not cooled from the
time they enter the hatchery until
they leave.

apron caught fire from her stove,
Mrs. J. T. Sissom is much improved,

Sissom sustained her serious injury
because of her blindness. She Is

moved a pot from the stove, flames
shot outward, but these she couldn't
see. The flames set fire to her apron,
and the pain from the burns was the
first intimation she had Of danger.
People went to her aid when she
screamed. She sustained serious
burns in sic side, and it was not
thought that she would survive, but
to-day she is better and thought to

There must be genuine merit to an
article that has stood the test of
two generations Of users.
In the field of medicine none has
had greater success, nor retained
that success to a greater degree, than
DR.. Caldwolls Syrup Pepsin, which
is now being used by two generations
of people. It's use in families Is con-
stantly becoming mor general. The
reason, primarily, Is that it has
merit. 1t is what it represents itself
to be, a laxative-tonic; it does not
make exaggerated claims o use
coarse language to set forth it's vir-
tues.
1t is a medicine, but so mild and
gentle a medicine that thousands Of
mothers give it to tiny infants, and
yet, in a slightly larger dose, it is
equally effective for grown-ups. 1t Is
for any disorder Of the stomach, liver
or bowels, for constipation, no mat
ter how chronic, for dyspepsia, no
matter how severe, for biliousness,
sour stomach, gas on the stomach,
headaches, drowsiness after eating,
and similar complaints arising from
a clogged-up condition of the bow
els. 1t is pleasant to the taste and
does not grippe. 1t can be used with
safety and good results by any one
at any age or in any condition of
health, and that persons health will
improve. Every druggist sells it and
the price Is only fifty cents and one
dollar a bottle.

NO OLD MAIDS IN A
King WEEDS Single Women Of Urcer-
tain Age to Jailbirds.
(san Francisco Chronicle

(San Francisco Chronicle.)
Kings of Slam apparently do not be-
lieve in the wisdom Of allowing sin
gle women to drift unattached about
the country. In certain districts af-
ter a girl has reached an age where
her securing for herself a husband
Is considered doubtful she becomes
a daughter of the King" That is,
the King takes upon himself the task
Of settling her suitably in life.
His process is quite simple and to
the point. He proceeds to the Siam
csc penitentiary and looks over the
various prisoners. There Is a law in
Siam that any prisoner can obtain
his release by marrying one Of this
class of girls, and, naturally enough,
any prisoner whom the King picks
out is not likely to be backward
about %consenting to the ceremony.
Nor does vt make any difference IL he.
is married, for the men of that coun-
try + not restricted to one wife.
AS far as can be learned, there Is
no allowance made for the inclina-
tion of the girl in question. She has
failed in her mission in life as far as
she herself Is concerned, and she
must abide by the decision of the
King.
