Newport is getting more and more
overrun with the nouveaux riches who
are buying up the finest estates, and
the old and exclusive Newport families
are retiring to more isolated resorts.
Alfred G. Vanderbilt, at one of his
dinners at his luxurious Newport farm,
said of newly-rich who was assum-
ing an extraordinary disdain for all
things common and plebeian:
This chaps way of turning up his
nose reminds me of a groom of mine
who used to say:

up his nose at, and yell know what

TREES HAVE PARASOLS.

Huge linen shields, raised high in
the air on slender trees ward off the
suns rays from the young trees in
one of the public squares of Berlin,
Germany. They look like the scenery
of an open-air stage, but they were
set up simply to make a temporary
nursery for the young lindens that
have been transplanted into Heidel-
berg Square. The shadeless park has
no protection from the hot sun, and
until the little trees get start they
need this artificial shelter to help
them grow.-Popular Mechanics.

depth of one inch. October last year
in New Hampshire was marked by
cold nights and sunny days. The
chicks were kept in their box the first
ten days, and after that were allowed
to run at large with the hen, which
was a careful mother.
They were fed hard-boiled eggs
when young, then Graham crackers,
then chick-feed and later the feed Civ

twelve chicks lived through the win

Their age was thus six and one-half
to seven months when they laid their

in the hen-house, and no special care
was given the hen or the chicks except
to place burlap over the wire netting on
cold nights when the chicks were
young.
"They were safe from rats, and also
escaped the lice and mites that threat

johnson and he are close personal
friends, they are not and never were
partners. He said they had been as
ISOLATED in a number of business trans
actions but he saw no harm in that. Mr..
Davis said he conducted all the nego-
tiations in the oliver Rodgers realty
deal and that Judge Johnson had done
no wrong in that case. He went into
every detail of that transaction, which
ended in Judge Johnson and himself
buying and reselling the property, a
thing done in the open because there
was nothing in it to conceal. He said
negotiations were on with the Jordans
before Rodgers was arrested.

thing else to say, Mr. Tally replied,

Judge had gone into the matter and
explained the circumstances, adding
that there was no disposition with the
committee to consider anything out

Looks Like Conspiracy
DR.. Frank Summers then took the
stand and testified that Clerk Bedell
of the Hotel Royal at Jackson, had
told him that he (BedelD had been
laying" for Judge Johnson for some
time, and had at last caught him. DR..
Summers said that Clerk Bedell was
angry with Judge Johnson because a
woman named Ruth Cakes had been
run out of Hattiesburg.
District Attorney R. S. Hall took the
stand and made the statement that he
believed the circulation of the Jackson
charge against Judge Johnson was the
result of conspiracy He said that
some days ago he met liquor drum
mer named I. Levy, of New Orleans,
who told him that charges involving
Judge Johnson and a woman had been
filed against Judge Johnson by a per
son at Natchez. Mr.. Levy, the district
attorney said, had been punished by
Judge Johnson for selling whisky. Mr..
Hall said he thought Mr. Levy had
something to do with filing the
charges. Chairman Anderson stated
that the charges filed with the commit
tee had come from Natchez.
Judge johnson then said: Gentle
men of the committee, l am willing to
stand any sort of an investigation.
