Manipulating a Blanket.

Learning hoy to manage blanket that is a little shovt, at one end and not quite long enough at the other, with similar deficiencies in width, is one of the first things the young sol- dier should be taught. If he is not taught it, he will probably have an ex- ,perience likes that of a western recruit who says that;in his first week in camp he lost a great deal of sleep at night. When he lay on his back his stomach was cold; when he turned over his back was cold; when he pulled tla blanket up around his shoulders he got cold feet, and when his feet were un- der the blanket. his neck was. uncom- fortable. A veterans recipe may. however, be worth considering. He }s saysHthe only way ate manipulate an army blanket, on cold night, is tc pull your. knees up to your chin,5 lie face downward, and hold the four cor 'ners of the blanket in1syour teeth.- Christian Science Monitor,

aunerstitIon stlll Lives.

old actors believe the witches song In Macbeth to possess the power of casting evil spells and the majority of them dislike to play in the piece. Some of the creatures met with at sea are considered 'unlucky. If shark Is seen following a ship for days, it Is thought that someone on board is doomed to die shortly. The birds known as Mother Carey's chickens, when they perch upon the rigging of a vessel, are believed to be messen- gers of a storm. Dolphins or porpoises seen in calm are unfayorable Omens. The naming of warship after stinging or venomous things Is considered un- lucky. In Newfoundland the supersti- tious say that if ship has star board list 1t is a sign of quick pass age; a port list, 1t Is sign of Q long passage. The throwing overheard dur ing a calm of old clothes too bad te wear, which have been saved for the purpose, is supposed ta bring wind.

Two men were reviewing tEe art ex- hibition at the Grand Central palace in New York. One looked at the work critically, but the other fidgstied about and seemed in hurry to move OF 0R backward or out. Finally his compan' ion needed his discomfiture.. Don't like the work, ch?" he asked. "No in- terest, what?" ''I'm interested bit" answered the fiagetty one. "It's not the art I'm complaining of. It's this suit I've on. It's new and ail that.

LABOR DAY ONLY
 NEAR HOLIDAY HERE

Pine Bluff yesterday celebrated Labor Day in near-holiday style only, many of the stores and business houses remaining open the greater part of the day, although the banks, railroad offices, postoffice and court house took a holiday.
 There was no celebration in Pine Bluff, and those persons who de sired entertainment went to Dexter and Sulphur Springs, where barbe- cues and dances had been advertised At Dexter in particular there was a large crowd, including many from Pine Bluff. Rain in the afternoon seriously interfered with the pleas ure seekers, but after the shower passed, the dancing was resumed ana continued until a late hour.

ROBINSON CIRCUS
 WANTS QUARTERS
 FOR WINTER TJME
Representative of Organiza- tion Writes Secretary
 Chamber of Commerce.

Pine Bluff has aachance to secure the winter quarters of the John Rob- inson circus if negotiations, started last night between representatives of the show and the Chamber of Com merce bear fruit.
 The circus must have permanent quarters not later than the middle of November and this city is listed as one of the most promising locations. Anent the deal the following letter was mailed last night to E. B. Bloom, secretary of the Chamber of Com merce, by Herbert S. Maddy, repres- enting the Robinson circus:
 "The John Robinson circus will not be able to use the permanent quar- ters it had last season at Americus Georgia, and. in consequence, must secure suitable place for the com ing winter Pine Bluff has been dis cussed by the owners of the show and I am empowered to request from you data and information concerning the city, the price of feed for stock, foodstuffs, paints, lumber, leather and harness, and wagon and blacksmith supplies.
 Our circus wants to locate for the winter in city where the climate is not too severe and where the man. agement can get the benefit of whole sale prices on the many supplies it needs. A circus, you know, spends many thousands of dollars during the winter months, re-fitting the show for the coming tenting season. All our painting is done during the win ter months; we rebuild our cars and construct new ones, and make all our seating paraphernalia.
 As our circus is one of the three large ones in the United States, we need plenty of building room for paint shops; elephant quarters; cat animal quarters; stables for camels deer and other hay-eating animals; stables for almost four hundred hor- ses and ponies; barns for training purposes; buildings for wardrobe; harness shops; blacksmithing depart ments; lofts for tents and canvas and tableaux.
 Kindly write me to Helena, Ark, in care of the John Robinson circus whether or not Pine Bluff has build ings that would accomodate our show and just what arrangements could be made. I will return to your city with in ten days and would be glad to take the matter up in person with you. Pos sibly tentative plans could then be made and laid before the circus pro- prietors on Monday, September "A, which is the date of our appearance in Pine Bluff.
 "For your information I will state that for years the John Robinson cir GUS wintered at Terrace Park, near Cincinnati, Ohio. These quarters, con- structed just after war, are unfit for occupancy and last year the show was temporarily quartered in the fair grounds at ;Americus, Georgia The circus management cannot use the same: quarters the. coming season be- cause of sale of a portion of the land that. constituted the fair grounds"

Purest Irish Blood.

The purest irish blood is not to bs found in Galway proper, for the town was long held by the English, and cen- turies ago it did an immense trade with Spain that resulted in mixed mar. riages, producing sundry heads of black hair and black eyes. But across the little river, by the bay, is fishers colony where the oldest Irish blood is still pure. This little group have mar fied strictly among themselves, and their stock is said to go back to Irisb natives who even antedated the Irish Celts. They are still recognizable as a slightly different type going about the streets of Galway selling their fish, as they and their fathers before them have done for centuries.

Oldest Bird Known.

The oldest bird known is called the archeopteryx. That is Greek word, which really means ancient wing." It was an extraordinary bird. It had 0 long tail, not all feathers as birds tall is4now, but like lizards tail, long and thick. with bones and flesh, and with feathers growing from it. It had two legs, with which it could walk or perch in the trees, but it had two other limbs like hands, which it probably used to climb about the trees instead of flying from bough to bough, as birds now do. It had curious eye fitted with sort of armor shield, as the rep tiles have, and its beak was armed with great strong teeth, T,aere is no such bird as this now.
