West virginla's grand old man."
former Senator Henry Gassaway
Davis. has announced his intention OF
being present at the banquet Of the
West Virginia association which will
be held at the Hotel 3Powhatan on the
evening Of February 18th. When the
invitation was first extended to Sana.
tor Davis. he declined, saying. that
while he was always interested In
West yirginians, that he had reached
the age when he had to draw the line
on banquets and evening parties Of all
kinds, But. after a chat over old
times, In which he gave several very
interesting "reminiscences OF early
days in the Mountain State, and
told seevral very. interesting sto-
ries about the early days of Sen
ator Gof and himself in poll.
tics, Mr.. Davis, decided that he would
reconsider, and he will be one of the
honor guests of the evening.
Misses Louise and Stella scharf. OF
Wheeling, arrived here Monday. for a
few days, enroute to Florida where
they will spend a month.
The postoffice department has re-
fused to give any relief to the four
or Ave hundred applicants who ap.
pealed to the department through
Congressman James A. Hughes, for
an improvement In service between
Cucumber and Canebrake, a distance
OF about four miles. This Is In a
line with the economy program that
was announced for the postoffice de-
spartment some time ago and which Is
being rigldly adhered to. All OF the
members OF the West Virginia delega-
ton have had deserving cases turned
down, with the statement that the
government was sure that when the
people realized the need Of economy
along those lines that would promptly
assist in the administrations policy
OF no expenditures unless 1t was abso-
lutely necessary.
Construction work is In progress in
the section nea Canebrake. which
has taken a large body Of men there,
and as they have mail delivery only
twice a week, there has been rather
strenuous complaints against the
service.
A csene Of unrivaled magnifcence,
splendor OF costumes such as has
never been seen in Washington be-
fore. and a display Of Jewels that out
classed any previous one, marked the
event Of the Soiree Artistique given
in the ball room OF the New Willard
this week by the Society OF Beaux
Arts. So great was the demand for
tables that the promoters OF the at
fair had to consent to a second nights
production.
The affair was arranged for the
benefit Of the French artists relief
fund and the scene represented a
street in the Latin Quarter In gala
attire. Streets were off by poles dec.
Grated with black and white tracery.
and .art students" In the dress of the
Quarter wandered about with guitars
and violins, playing such airs as are
never heard outside the haunts OF
Bohemia. The ruling was made that
all should come IN fancy costume. and
as a result many wonderful costumes
were e One Of the chief attrac-
tons OF the program which had been
arranged was a Greek classic tdyll,

LINCOLN OVERSEEING.

Brookhaven, Miss, June 17.-From
the shipments that have been made
from this city recently the indication
is that Lincoln county farmers have
decided to diversity to some extent at
least and instead of all cotton and
corn have planted truck. Several
shipments of onions have been sent
to northern markets from this point
this season, and tomatoes by the car
load are also being shipped north, one
car leaving here last Saturday. A
number of northern and western
planters have located in Lincoln coun-
ty in the past year, and instead or
planting cotton, have purchased lands
for cattle raising, fruit culture and
vegetables, and shipments this season
of onions, tomatoes and potatoes show
that these new citizens feel that there
is money in these crops. Several large
farms have been planted in sweet and
Irish potatoes by these parties and a
large crop is expected from the recent
rains in this section of the state have
done much for crops of all kinds and
the reports are that Lincoln has the
best prospect for a crop of this time
that she has had at the same time in
a number of years.

COSTLY "SPITE FENCE"
One Mile Long ard Costs About
Sos 900

The longest and costliest "spite
fence in the world is being erected
by J. Ogden Armour, millionaire pack
er, at his country estate, Melody
farm, near Lake Forest, III. The
fence when completed will be Of brick,
a mile long and cost $4,000. Mel
lody farm is bisected by the tracks
Of the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul railroad.
The mansion on the property is
nearly a quarter Of a mile from the
tracks, but even this. distance allows
passengers too close a view Of the
property, and the fence, which is tc
be seven feet six inches high when
completed, is expected to keep the
prying eyes from seeing the Armours
at their estate.

SICK Babies

My baby's sick, What =| Shall I
do?" That's very common ~ 'ques-
ton from mothers. particularly at
this time of year. L is a very i'm
portant question too and one that
is hard to answer fully: In general
the chances are more than ten to
one that the trouble is from 'soEne
digestive disturbance. For this req
son it is always advisable to stop
feeding the baby at once. He won't
starve if he misses a few meals OF
even if his rations are shut off or
greaty reduced for several days
Of course the baby should be given
all the water he cares for and that
will be considerable quantity this
hot weather. All drinking water for
babies should be boiled then bottled
and served cool but not iced.
The next,,thing to do for sick ba-
by after the stopping food supply is
empty the intestines of all ferment-
ing decomposing'@ food In general
the mother will be justified in using
not over a teaspoonful Of castor oil
or simple enemas by inject L
this does not bring relief the next
step should be to call in the best
physician available, and place the
case fully III his hands.
AS with many other health mat
ters prevention is much simnlor
cheaper, and better than cure /,
lie case Of babies the use of moth
ers milk as food is the first am
most important single item to +,
considered. In summer the bah,
should be kept cool, clean and fire.
