BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May 5.-Be-
coming involved IN a dispute over
4 trivial matter, two citizens OF the
county of Montgomery, struck snag
in the law when a swarm of bees
owned by one migrated to the home
OF the other. This renewed the trou-
BILE, and w. G. Frizzle, bailiff of the
city court, was appealed to.
II want my bees" said the origi-
nal owner; they have gone to that
fellows home"
Frizzle began an investigation to
ascertain whether he had authorit :
to return the bees to, the rightful
owner. After consulting many law
books. this was his conclusion, as ex-
pressed in his own words:
~ find that before you can obtain
your bees you must have them ar
rested in the regular way. And be-
fore they can be arrested, you mus
swear out an individual warrant
against every bee in the swarm.

Goa't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, sc careful
what you use. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkal which
is very injurious, as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing 10 use is Just plain null
SIZED cocoanut oil, for this is pure and
entirely greaseless. Its very cheap, and
beats the most expensive soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store, and few ounces
will last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonfui is all
that is required. 1t makes an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thor
oughly, and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is soft,
fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and
easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and
takes out every particle OF dust, dirt and
dandruff.

FAMOUS AMERICAN
IS EXPECTED TO
VISIT THIS CITY
An Invitation Was Extended to Him
BY Local Citizens-Date
of Arrival Monday.
Expected Visitor is Man OF National
Reputation Who Has Earned
the Friendship and Esteem
of His Fellow Men by
Unselfish Devotion
to Their In
terests.
VIII Give Free Band Concerts and
Minstrel Shows Upon Lot in
Rear of Union National
Bank Building. ..,


This city has, on various occasions
entertained some celebrated men
within its gates-men distinguished
by fame in various walks OF life
but 1t is destined to shortly receive q
visit from one who occupies a pecu-
liar position among men, having
earned place of honor and esteem
in the hearts OF the public solely
through his unsel1sh devotion to
mankind, his striking personality and
sincerity of purpose.
This distinguished American and
the interesting announcement of his
proposed visit was conveyed to the
people of Clarksburg, by leading
citizen and prominent business man,
who is personally acquainted with
him and looks forward with pleasure
to his arrival In Clarksburg. This
gentleman, at first, hesitated to dis
cuss the coming Of the Great Speigel,
stating that he would prefer to await
definite Information as to the date
of his arrival. but when urged to
confirm the rumor Of his intended
visit. he said:
LEO, Gil aware Va tilC LcpOlI lhut
the Great Spiegel is to visit Clarks-
burg, and am in a position to con-
firm the report, being one Of the sew
eral citizens who extended an invi-
tation to him and urged its accept
ence. At first our efforts were APP
parently doomed to failure. for while
stating his willingness to come to this
city, the Great Spiegel informed us
that previous engagements so COM
pletely monopolized his time that he
could not definitely appoint time for
visiting Clarksburg for many months,
and that perhaps his coming would
have to be deferred until next year.
We persisted, however, and our eff
forts have been rewarded by the re-
ceipt of a letter saying that he will
arrive here within the next few days.
ITO those who know this man, and
there are few who do not have some
knowledge of the service he has rem
dered mankind, the announcement Of
his coming will be received as boon
to the people of this city, for II he
does not make lifelong friend Of
every man, woman and child with
whom he comes in contact, 1t will be
because the people Of this community
are different from humanity Of other
sections"
During the course of this gentle
man't discussion of the forthcoming
appearance of the Great Spiegel here
he intlmated that in this eminent Wis

But in spite of the efforts of the
doctor and of Prendick the beast
men broke their rules. First they
tasted blood and all the animal came
TO tho surface. their speech sank into
the gutterals of beasts and they

rected and usually with very crafty
ing increase in egg production. The first
measure is to ventlate the house as well
as possible. If il is not OF the open front
type the windows should be entirely re-
moved and in any case, small door or
ventilator should be opened below the
dropping board in the rear of the house
to insure a good circulation of air. Then
six or eight-inch litter of straw or
planer shavings or, better still, mix
ture of these two materials, should be
spread on the floor and the scratch grain
scattered in it, in the morning and at
noon, just as in the winter so that the
birds will have to work for it and thus
secure ample exercise.
This method of summer management
embraces the only real advantage OF the
socalled "no yard" system of poultry
keeping which at present is being given
much publicity by some poultry supply
concerns. The success OF the no-yard
system is attributed to the better hous-
ing conditions which it requires and the
additional attention the birds are apt to
receive when in confinement. If, however,
in addition TO good housing, the hens also
have the liberty OF a yard, where they
can dig in the dirt and lounge in the
shade, they enjoy a distinct advantage.

strung across bridges and main roads
to prevent the passage of cavalry, and
it is used for fencing In camps to guard

proper and improper mode OF procedure
Strange TO say, even many housewives OF
long experience do not seem to have mas
tered this extremely simple matter, eth
er.
In the first place, as a rule, fish should
not be cut into round slices, but should
be cut into flets This again, is an
operation which few cooks have mastered.
The fish should be laid on a fiat surface.
With a sharp knife make an incision in
the back at the base of the head. Con-
tinue this to the tail cutting the flesh on
one side entirely away from the back
bone. This operation repeated with the
other side of the fish gives two long slabs
of fish flesh The heavy backbone has
been eliminated and the fish is eaten more
easily. Also, instead of having a thick
chunk of flesh, which cooks imperfectly,
you have slice of uniform thickness,
which cooks evenly and can be Drowned
great deal better
Scrod, haddock, cod. cusk and, in fact,
all Ground fishes" except smelt and other
tiny varieties, should be cut in this man
ner when they are to be fried. Halibut,
swordfsh, albacore and other fish of a
similar nature, are, Of course, usually cut
in round slices. while small fish, such as
smelt, butterfsh and tinker mackerel, are
cooked whole.
Fish should always be fried like dough
nuts in deep fat. Bacon drippings are
perhaps as good a material as any.
Butter should not be used for frying fish.
IL should be cooked until well Drowned

housewife has no crumpled mass of fish

cooked, brown squares Of delicious food.

The Elderly Safety Pin.

The safety pin and the hook and eye
are generally supposed to be modern
inventions. The former, in fact, has
been credited TO Queen Victoria. She
may have improved upon 1t, but Ger.
tainly she is not entitled to the dis.
tinction OF having invented It. Nu-
merous specimens OF the useful con
trivance have been found in the ruins
Of Crete. Some of them are in the
museum of the University Of Pennsyl-
vania. and the museum has also a
hook and eye from the same place.
Both the safety pins and the hook
and eye now In the museum were
made at least 900 hundred years be-
fore Christ. Some are made of bronze,
but amber or some other material WAS
often used on the more elaborate pins
Some were even made OF finely
wrought gold.-Youth's Companion.
