Work Cure for Nervousness.

Little Miss" was waiting for John
to come and spade her flower bed
early one beautiful spring morning.
After waiting until her patience was
gone, she began her own spading, in a
most determined and provoked man
ner.
1t was not long until old John ap-
peared, with an amused smile on his
old black face, and his tattered hat in
hand, bowling and apologizing most
humbly. In reply to Little Miss in
quiries as to what had made him so
late, he said:
We'll, Little Miss, it's jes this way:
Ez | Wuz comm by Miss Harneys, she
said, '.ohn, can't you come in and fix
this flower bed fur me-? And | jes'
went In and resisted her a minute,
and come right on. And, Little Miss,

Vegetarian Doos.

There is a BRUSSELS terrier who loves
asparagus, dislikes strawberries, and
is always very angry if he does not
have two or three spoonfuls of black
coffee after lunch. He is fond of
endives, French beans, and carrots.
Another puppy is exceedingly fond
of bananas, but the recOrd-breaker
is bulldog, whose diet includes ap.
pies, oranges, bananas, grapes and
tomatoes.
AT the sight Of an orange being
peeled" says the dogs mistress. his
mouth waters to such an extent that
1t is almost pathetic, besides being
extremely bad for the carpet! His
particular passion is for grapes,
which are given to him daily by a
greengrocer, whose store he refuses
to pass until he has been in and had
his usual supply"

The Rain Of Law.

The day Of universal law has ar
rived. 1t seems to be lap or two
ahead OF time. 1t is not just the kind
of law that Is written upon the hearts
Of men or upon the doorposts of their
houses, and it is very difficult to teach
it to ou. children, or to mediate upon
1t day Or night. There isn't time. 1t
is printed ON rapid-tire printing press
and bC.lnd in unabridged sheep or blue
sky boards. The kindly earth does not
slumb.sr in its lap; it fairly wallows
in the litter Of it. The law-abiding and
the law-evading citizen lie down to-
gether In the confusion of it. He who
reads must run If he would escape the
deluge of it, and he who runs must
read If he would keep up with the
changing phases of it.-William d.
Parkinson, in the Atlantic.

Quail Are the Farmers Aid.

The chinch bug costs the farmers OF
the United States at least $10O0OO,O 600
a year. Various means for fighting
these bugs have been devised, but
their most successful enemies are the
birds of the air. If the chinch bug Is
to be practically eradicated we must
depend upon the efforts of the quail,
as his home Is in the brooding grounds
Of the chinch bug, Nowadays things
that are done have certain degree Of
the idea Of permanency about them,
hence the first steps in the permanent
destruction of the chinch bug Is a
more complete protection of the quail
that assists also in lowering the losses
caused by the cotton weevil, the grass
hopper, and the potato bug. Farm and

Clever Asylum Inmate.

An inmate of the Barming asylum.
Kent, England, who was formerly a
joiner in Chatham dockyard, has
carved from some old oak a magnifi-
cent reredos and screen for the
church attached to the institution. The
work occupied him for seven years,
and experts place its value at &1,O00.
His first commission executed in
the asylum was handsome overman-
tel for the medical officer, Wr. Wolsey
Lewis. This led the doctor to suggest
other work, with the result that he
carved some altar rails and the rere'
dos and screen,
The patient spends most of his
time at the bench, and chat with
him always results in the production
of all sorts of specimens. Many Of
his smaller carvings adorn the insti-
tuition.

lJses Of Silver.

It will astonish many persons to
learn that, outside the manufacture
of silver-plated ware, more silver is
used in making Photographic plates,
films and paper than in any other
single industry. Making films for
the motion pictures has become an
enormous business The Brass World
believes that more silver will soon be
used for films than for any other
purpose whatever. In photography,
silver is used principally in the form
of bromide of silver for preparing the
coating of the surface Of the sensi-
tized films and printing papers,

Is set forth that the doors of motor
buses and trans, and also those on

MARRIAGE FIGHT
Withdraws Opposition to Count
Boni's Suit for Annulment
of the Wedding.

Paris. MAY 1.-THE Duchess dc
iTalleyrand, formerly Anna Gould OF
New York. announces that, having
successfully defended the suit brought
nv creditors of her first husband
} Cornte Boni de Castellane, for pos
session of her Paris house, and hav-
rg refuted. through the medium OF
her Roman lawyer. the calumnies re-
nortsd about her by the Castellane
Family and Count Boni's friends, she
nc decided to withdraw her opposi-
ton to the annuIment of her first mar
riage.
The opposition. she says, was not
nroupted BY motives of spite, but sim
nv nv her desire to protect her own
interests and those OF her children.
rho case is still pending in Rome. but
- l. expected that the duchess decis-
ion will facilitate the obtaining OF a
favorable decision by Count Bonl-
ne CasteIIane began his suit for
tba annulment of the religious cere-
,,,or,, NV the rota tribunal in 1907 af-
,ar his wife had obtained a divorce
and had married the Due DE laAey-
nd The tribunal rendered decis-
ion in favor OF annulment on Dec >
7a11 There was a second decision on
march l. 1913, this one opposing an
nulment.
In accordance with the code OF the
rota tribunal no annulment suit is I'm
ally decided before two similar decis-
ions. whether favorable or otherwise
nave been handed down. The duchess
anpeaIed TO the segnatura tribunal.
The appeal was rejected and the case

Participants in City Beautiful
Contest Must File Names

According to present indications the
number of entries in the floral con-

period closes Saturday and if there
are any who are contemplating con-
testing for any of the II prizes and

they must do so before that time. If
they have not received an application

committee, Mrs. c. +. Sharpe, Mrs.
Frank Mixter or Mrs. Ben Mitchell,
will be glad to provide them with the
necessary cards.
The total amount to be expended
will approximate $500 and single

to secure them. not counting the sat

FISH FAMINE IN
MISSISSIPPI SOON
Davenporter Says Millions Are
Prevented From Coming Up
to Spawn by Keokuk Dam.

Assistant County Attorney Waldo
Becker Of Davenport has just returned
from trip to Keokuk and declares
that within a comparatively brief span
Ct years the Mississippi river will be
practically "fshless" unless heroic
measures are adopted. He claims that
the Keokuk dam prevents the fish from
getting upstream at spawning time.
Thousands of fish darken the water
Just below the dam. and their numbers
are so great as 10 almost strain credul-
ity.
Mr.. Becker made inquiries in regard
TO the matter.
Thousands and thousands of fish
are imprisoned just below the dam at
this time OF year" he said. They are
partially crazed because of their in
ability TO journey upstream and will
not succumb TO the wiles of the fisher
man who is equipped only with hook
and line.
The only opportunity afforded
them Of getting upstream TO lay their
spawn is al such comparatively rare
intervals as the locks are opened to
permit the passage OF steamboats,
There are hundreds OF people between
keokuk and ST Pa whose livelihood
depends solely upon fishing. and at
the present rate they will have no &C
eupation in a comparatively short
time.
1t seems TO me- said Mr.. Becker.
that the logical solution of the prob
ism would be TO open the locks at
least once an hour. 10 permit the pas
sage Of the fish 10 the upper waters.
This operation requires less than five
minutes and would be well worth
While"
