REGULAR cUTUPs

A bunch of smart Isaacs from a big
town, to-wit, C%hillicothe, came down
to a small town, to-wit, Waverly, last
Sunday night in a borrowed auto and
put up at the Emmitt House, and the
question is, "Why did the 'Emmitt
House put up with them?" One of
them, a freckled-faced woodpecker,
with a thimbleful Of brain and less
manners than a Scovy duck, scatter
ed the sugar bowl over the dining
room floor and next stole Florence
RAIDERS new Stetson, mutilated it and
threw it into the cellar. A nice lesson
for such Unmitigated woodpeckers
from a big town to be taught in a
small town would be a cooling-oh
period in the bastile de Rhodes

poor family. or she would SOW some
vegetables in it herself, which would
be used for distribution to the needy
poor next winter. The man to whom
this lot was loaned is problem to
the social workers. He is constantly
seeking assistance, but can afford to
have a telephone in his home, and at
the same time does little to help him
self or his family. He stands on the
verge of being given up as hopeless
case.
Zwissier Gives Plants.
On one lot in the South Fifth street
field was a woman and eight children,
all hard at work. Nearby on another
field was a woman and her four young
daughters, also hard at work.
Conrad Zwissler, wholesale gar
dener, south of the city, have been of
great assistance to Mrs Monarch. He
donated the use of two lots, and today
presented her with over two hundred
tomato vines, eggplants and other
kinds of vegetables, which were dis.
tributed among the various gardens
this afternoon. "You are teaching
these poor people to help themselves,
and so l am glad to help you, explain
ed Mr.. Zwissler.
Prof Zimmerman of St. Johns Lu-
theran school, and the Rev. Frank A.
Roell of ST Andrews Catholic church,
have also been of the greatest assist
ance. They regularly visit the gar
dens of the youngsters belonging to
their churches and help them in their
work. The other gardens are super
vised almost entirely by Mrs. Mon

Prof. Ramsey, of Whitewater school.

in the gardens. giving much attention
to the work of north children. Today
he gave Mrs. Monarch a number of
beet plants.
New Irrigation Plan.
Look at this garden" delightedly
exclaimed Mrs. Monarch this morning.
ut proves my contention that Ger
mans are born gardeners
What she pointed to was the meth
od employed by some very young boys
Of German parentage to raise cucum-
bers. Here and there tin cans, each
with a small hole in the bottom, had
been sunk in the earth in the center
OF a group of plants, and had then been
filled with water, SO the plants were
always being irrigated.
The plants and seed distributed to
the young gardeners today was the
FIRST assistance of this kind they had
received. What they now have under
cultivation they planted themselves,
some spending all their scant savings
So successful has the experiment
with city gardens for the poor been
this year. despite the many handi-
caps which had to be overcome, that
Mrs. Monarch is convinced that next
year enough lots will be available to
provide for every poor family in Rich
mond.

New Park.

A summer home at Morton park for
the Phi Delta Kappa fraternity will
be started, If possible, within the next
six weeks. A committee was appointed
last night to secure plans and purchase
building material before August /.
With the convention business rapid
ly clearing away, the fraternity will
concentrate it's efforts on the erection
OF summer cottage, plans for which
have been under way since the an
nual banquet was held, June 5, 1913.

located about one hundred yards east
of Hawkins springs. Although it is
certain that the lumber for the cottage
will be on the ground within three
weeks, the building depends largely
upon the construction of the park sew
er system. If sewers are made within
a reasonable time, the building will be
started the first of next month.
Before the next weekly meeting of
the organization all business of the
convention, which was here last week,
will have been settled. The national
meeting cost the Richmond chapter
about one thousand dollars. A banquet
held one night cost $270, while one
dance cost almost $500. The accounts
for the banquet were paid within twen-
ty-four hours after it was held.

OWNED BY INFAMOUS TRAITOR
Wisconsin Man Has Ink Well That
Once Was the Property Of 6ene- >,
/ dict Arnold.

Among the possessions Of r. "a.
Phillips, living at easy Bluff, Wis,
is an inkwell, said by the owner to
date back to Revolutionary war times,
The inkwell has been in the family
since the time of the conflict OF the
American colonies against Great Brit
ain.
Mr.. Phillips came into possession
of the relic in 1864, it having been
handed down to him by his father,
and his father got It in turn from
his grandfather, who captured it
among other things at little log
cabin near West Point at about the
time Benedict Arnold was figuring on
selling that strategic point to the
British, but took French leave when
he learned that the Colonial soldiers
we're after him
This ink we'll it is stated by Mr.
Phillips, is the one that furnished the
ink for the document Arnold signed
giving the British possession of West
Point and was found among other of
Arnold's possessions after his hasty
leave taking of the place where the
documents were signed and sealed.
1t is supposed to have been made in
England and brought to this country
It is an old affair-this ON be seen
from the fact that it is made for
quilts instead of pens, as a common
pen will not enter the holes bored for
dipping. 1t is square, with a quill
hole at each corner and large one
in the center for receiving the ink.
The well is of stone. a queer compo-
sition which on first sight resembles
flint or marble, but on closer examina-
ton it is found that it may be cut
with a knife much the same as soap
stone.
1t is highly polished, nicely carved
and is about three inches square and
an inch and a half deep.-New York

Useful Whiskers.

Human whskers are worn more for
ornament than use, but in the case of
animals of the cat tribe whiskers are
very seryiceable indeed.
In the dark, for instance, they serve
practically as an extra pair of eyes.
The hairs themselves are quite bristly
and insensible but the tiny glands
from which they grow are the most
sensitive part of the cats skin So
whiskers take the place of cropping
pair of hands.
A distinguished naturalist recently
declared that a lion or tiger which had
its whiskers cut would starve to death.
Stealing through the jungle at night in
search of prey the lion depends on his
whiskers to warn him of things in his
path. The slightest sound of rustling
would betray his presence, but with
the aid of his whiskers the lion steers
clear of the twigs or leaves that would
lose him his supper.

DOING Ones Duty.

We often say to ourselves, 81 would
gladly do my duty, if i knew what it
is" Doubtless there are cases in
which it is hard to decide, but re-
mark of Goethe on the subject is well
worth remembering. How can we
know ourselves? Never by reflection,
but by action. Do your duty, and you
will find out the sort of man you are.
But what is my duty? What to-
day asks of you. Do not consider
too far, too deeply, too seriously. Do
the plain, present task, and do it well.
It is amazing how pleasant you feel
when it is done-and it is not wholly
unpleasant even in the doing"
