offices. Ushers outside Bryan's office
were doubled. Each was reported to
be armed with an automatic revolver,
Great precautions 20 guard the tele-
graph and cipher rooms of tn. State

Other Characteristics.

/. Sweet clover has been widely
heralded as a pasture and forage
plant. That stock in some sections do
eat it, the writer has no doubt, but
in many instances they refuse to touch
it. 1t is growing in few places in
st. Francois County, but whether any
stock will eat it am unable to state
The reason why they dislike it is be-
cause Of disagreeable, bitter taste
it has; that is caused by substance
called cumalin, which the plant con.
tains. Animals as a rule have to ac-
quire taste for it, and then it is
said they will leave other hay to eat
it.
2. 1t makes heavy growth and be-
comes very woody. Because of this
it must be cut early for hay; this
causes it to be difficult to cure. Must
cut it high.
The plant is biannual, that is, il
usually lives two years. Then if il
has been allowed to mature, seed, it
usually reseeds itself.
4. A serious objection is the high
cost of the seed. Sweet clover seed
costs about three times as much as
choice red clover per acre. In add
ton the seed terminates poorly. II
contains n high percentage of "hard
seed" Some samples that have been
tested fell close to the so per cent
mark.
5. Sweet clover does best soil that
contains plenty of lime and will not
thrive unless inoculaton is present
While it is true that it will grow on
poor soils, it grows much better on
good soils.
Sweet clover should not be expert.
mented with where red clover, alfalfa
cowpeas or soybeans do well, and be-
fore any considerable amount of money
is invested in seed it would be better
to at least get reliable information re.
garding the plant. That it has some
good qualities is beyond question; the
Government sent a representative to
Iowa to investigate the claims a man
had been making there and found that
they were true, inasmuch as he was
growing the crop and live stock eating
it.

Government Experts Make New FIX
pertinent to ROut Pest.
Keep a sharp watch for army
worm moths with one artificially col
ored wing" is the advice of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture
to those interested in the destruction
of the pest which has caused con-
siderable damage to crops and lawns
this summer east Of the Mississippi
river.
In furtherance of its campaign to
control the spread of army worm
moths the department is conducting
a novel experiment to obtain a better
knowledge of their habits. Where
they are plentiful one wing of each
moth is colored and then they are
liberated so as to decide whether
they fly directly west or north and
how quickly and how far they will
spread. Destruction of all marked
specimens is urged.

NEW YORK.-The summer resi-

days ago. Special policemen have
stopped the disrobing parties which
have been of common occurrence in
the autos in which the women come
to the beach. 1t was a common sight
to see a chauffeur holding screen
up in front of an auto to hide the
beauties of feminine figures as they
undressed for a splash in the surf.
One young woman was almost
ready to slip into her bathing suit
when the police appeared on the
scene and an officer asked her chauf-
feur what. he was concealing behind
the blanket The young woman told
the policeman to get right away from
there. Some one tugged at the blan-
ket and It fell from the chauffeurs
hands. Instantly a score of field
glasses from the nearby porches were
focused on that distressed young
woman. She dropped to the floor OF
her auto to conceal her charms.

CHEROKEE SHERIFF. THOUGHT
HE MIGHT NEED WEAPON.
Picturesque Old officer of the West
Who Had Many Shooting SCrapes
and Narrow Escapes Passes.

and Narrow escapes IdSSeS.
PALEQUAH, Okla.-In a grave
out in the wooded hills of the old
Goingsnake district of the Cherokee
nation, now a portion of Adair coun-
ty, a pair of heavy 45-caliber Colts
revolvers have rusted for nearly a
quarter of a century. The pistols
were the property of Thomas Tail,
one ST the unique characters of the
nation, and were buried with him at
his special request when he realized
that the hand of death was upon him.
Tails reason for making the re-
quest is said to have been that he
thought he might need the weapons
with which to fight the devil.
Tail was a full-blooded Cherokee,
a very large and corpulent man, who
weighed 800 pounds. For several
years he was sheriff of the Going
snake district and was known as a
man who was handy with firearms.
He was in a number of shooting
scrapes and always came off victor
though at times he had narrow eo-
capes Upon one occasion, while rid
ing along a roadway near the Wau-
hillau postoffice in the wooded re-
gions west of the Barren Fork river,
a horseman suddenly dashed past
MIN and fired his revolver point
blank at Tails head. The bullet hit
Tail squarely between the eyes, but
in a DETECTED manner. Tail fell to
the ground as if dead, but instantly
recovered sufficient consciousness to
raise himself to sitting posture.
Through the blood that streamed
down his face he beheId his would
be assassin pursuing his rapid way
down the road.
Exerting all his strength he gained
the side of his horse, drew his Win
chester rife to his shoulder and fired.
The bullet entered the horseman'
head, killing him instantly. Tail was
taken to a house, his wound dressed
and after a few days he was as well
ever. The courts of the Cherokee
nation acquitted him.
On his death-bed he babe those in
attendance to place in the grave with
him the trusty revolvers which had
been his for years.
