Julia Anderson, the illiterate
North Carolina woman who viii
bring about climax to the now
famous Dunbar kidnapping case,
was in New Orleans yesterday on
her way to Opelousas. Sheis ex-
pected to show up at the Dunbar
home in Opelousas to-day and
either claim or deny motherhood
to the little 5-year old youngster
in their keeping.
When she starts to identity her
SOD, Bruce Anderson, at Opelous-
as, she will pick him out from a
row of FIVE or six boys all the same
age. She will be put through a
test. The supposed Bobbie Dun.
bar, his brother, AIonzo, and 9TH
ers will be in the line. However,
in this test she will have the ad-
vantage. She has seen the pic.

tur1es Ago.
The English dwarf, Sir Godfrey Hud-
son, was, doubtless, the most widely
known of any human curiosity of either
ancient or modern times, Lucia Zarate
alone excepted. Born of parents of the
normal size in Rutlandshire in 1919, at
birth his height did not exceed five
inches. He did not begin to walk until
after the end of his third year, his
height at that time being eight and
three-fourths inches. When seven years
of age he was taken into the family of
the duke of Buckingham, having be-
tween the age of three and seven added
but four inches to his stature. At the
age of thirty he was only eighteen
inches tall when fully equipped with
his high-heeled shoes, which were then
80 fashionable. Now comes the most
remarkable part of the story. at the
age of thirty-one, a time when most
human beings are supposed to have
fully matured, he suddenly began to
grow at a surprising rate, his growth
being so rapid that in the short space
Of four years he shot up to the height
of three feet nine inches, clear gain
of six and three-fourths inches for each
year. How or why this remarkable
change was brought about was prob
lem which the Royal Society of Sur
geons was never able to solve. Huds
son lived to be sixty-eie,ht years old.
Joseph Bornwalsh was another of
the old-time dwarfs of distinction. He
was born in 1889 near Chailez, Polish
Russia. He was one inch less in height
than Hudson was and weighed but
eleven ounces. On his twenty-frst
birthday he was two feet two inches
in height and very robust. He went to
England and married woman of the
regulation size, and lived to the adj
vanced age of ninety-eight years.

Claiborne County and the Floods.
Itis not the intention OF the
above caption to suggest that our
good old county is submerged, but
to emphasize the adage that it is
an ''Ill wind that blows no one
any good" While the lands OF
the rich Delta which have drawn
away so much of the hill labor are
covered with the overflow from the
breaking Ievees, the ploughman' s
voice is heard on every side,
among the hills aud the dales of
our uplands. These facts suggest
the thought that while some may
suffer loss there may come bene-
fit to the many in our hill section;
demand for our lands and a re-
habilitating of our once prosperous
section. It is probable there will
be not only a check ia the emigra-
tion, bu. a possible decided return
of those who, having known the
security of a home in the bills as
compared with the disasters of the
flooded section. Already We hear
Of an unrest and longing for the
"meIons, and the leeks, and the
onions" which they ate from the
farms among the bills. And this
leads to the thought thar with
cheaper rents, # the laborer would
make the difference good in rightly
applied fertilizers there would be a

a RovaI scara.

At late banquet in the royal castle
OF Ludwigsburg in Wurtemberg juicy
roast of pork formed the piece de re-
sistance,a of which all the guests par
took freely. The dish was not yet re-
moved when an attendants handed to
the king on silver platter an official
document which was nothing less than
the result Of the examiner, who stated
that he had found the bit of pork sub
ulitted to him full of trichine, all alive
and kicking. There was a universal OUT
cry of dismay. Everybody grew vio-
lently sick, and the assembly, just now
all magnificence and politeness, was IN
an instant transformed into a sort OF
hospital ward, each man and woman
vomiting or trying to vonit in order to
get rid of the nauseating pork. Those
who failed to relieve their stomachs had
the doctors apply their stomach pumps
But the poor cook, who had been care
less to dress, roast and serve the pig be-
fore the examiner to the court had sent
in his o K, was dismissed in disgrace.

University Students and Strong
Drinks.
IEdiIed by LOcal Union.l ]

/
Certain deplorable happenings
following the indulgence In strong
drink BY students of the University
of California have aroused the
churches. the W. c. T. u. and
civic societies of Berkeley TO urge
the student body Of the state uni
versily to adopt as part OF it's con.
stitution an effective and perma.
nent rule against the use of any
intoxicating liquors at university
functions.
In writing to one Of the leaders
of this movement, DR.. David Starr
Jordan of the Leland Stanford
University reafHrms his conviction
that drink must be totally elimi-
mated from our American educa.
tional institutions. He says:
AT present at Stanford Univer.

ognized student functions, no liq-
uors are allowed in any places
where students reside. and any stu.
dent known to frequent saloons. or

university.
my experience of the past few
years has made 1t certain that the
best thing that ever happened at
Stanford wasthe struggle resulting
in the adoption of these rules BY
the faculty and BY tbe trustees. and
finally adopted and enforced BY
the student body

afterward to the red light district,
and ultimately to ruin.
Going over the records of our
student body we find an advance
of perhaps one-third In the higher
rank Of the men students as COM
pared with what we had Eve or six
years ago. The number dropped
for failure to work is each term
less than half of what it was for,
merly and the tendency is toward
greater severity"

Strange Sights to BE Seen in the North
ern Mountains.
Travellers in Alaska, that region Of
ice and snow, where the highest peak in
North America rises to an altitude of
nineteen thousand feet from glacier
one thousand miles square in area, and
as big as all those of the Alps put to-
gether, tell us of still stranger sights
than these.
Along the edge of the great glacier,
all the way from Icy bay to Yakutat
bay, there extends a strip of green
coast, which is covered with luxuriant
vegetation. Strawberry vines cover the
ground for miles, and the verdant fields
are redeemed as far asfthe eye can reach
with luscious fruit, which compares fa-
vorably in point of size and flavor with
the finest fruit grown in temperate lati-
tudes. There are huckleberries, too
and "salmon berries, which are some-
thing between blackberries and rasp-
berries, but of giant size, measuring
nearly two inches in diameter. All the
lowlands are carpeted with yiolets, but
tercups. yellow monkey-fowers, and
other wild blossoms. Here and there,
In the midst of vast ice-felds, are the
lovehest gardens watered by the melting
snow.

Grave Charges.

Two representatives of the
Burns Detective Agency brought
grave charges in the circuit courl
at Gulfport< last week against E.
M. Barber, a former resident Of
Port Gibson. The charges were
brought during suit for damages
against the Gulfcoast Traction Co.
for the killing OF a child. Barber
represented the complainant, and
the detectives claim they trapped
him into offering them money to
testify falsely in his favor. Dicto-
phones and stenographers were
used. In addition, other charges
of similar nature were made.
The damage suit was postponed,
and Barber and a detective were
placed under $1,000 bond each to
appear for hearing.
