Cents.

Henry Singleton is dead and
jesse Pickett is i'm the county

a result, according TO reports, of
a dispute over fifty cents
Both men were employees of the
Mengel Box Co. At the noon
hour Monday they are said to
have quarreled over the trifling
sum mentioned and a fight fol-
lowed. Singleton is alleged to
have attacked Pickett with a
small chair or stool, whereupon,
to defend himself, Pickett drew
his knife and stabbed his an
tagonist one time, the blade en-
tering Singleton s breast just be-
low the heart. After receiving
the wound he lived until 4 30.
Pickett, excited, left the mill
and when officers Learned of the
tragedy, he was not TO be found.
They learned he had been seen
in the vicinity Of East Hickman,
and an hour later was taken by
X. v. Putnam and Walter Hol-
land, who brought him back to
town in their car and turned
him over to the officers. Pickett
claims he was not trying to es-
cape and had decided to come to
town and give up when accosted
by Messrs. Putnam and Holland.
He was placed in jail to await
preliminary hearing, which will
be had before County Judge
Stair Saturday morning.

years old and married. He had

Office Man Is Safest Risk.

Do you know how much risk of in
jury or death there is In your daily
occupation? The actuary of the state
workmen's compensation department
has 1t all figured out in dollars and
cents.
The man who takes the least risk
Is the man employed in office work,
such as a bank clerk.
Office employees are rated at a
premium of IL cents ON each 500 for
the aggregate pay roll of the institu-
ton by which they are employed.
Newspaper men are rated at Is cents
on the 500. This includes all branches
of the newspaper business, represent
ing a chance of 10 In 1000 that a
newspaper man will be killed or in
jured In the line of duty.
The figures indicate that a window
cleaner takes his life In his hands
every time he crawls around on the
outside of a building letting the day
light In. He is rated at $4.65 per 500.
The highest premium rate is $685.,
on the professional wrecker, who runs
the risk of having a brick building
fall on him.

Lebas' Confidence.

Many years ago the granite obelisk
that stood sentinel before the palace
of Rameses III, at Luxor, for more
than thirty centuries, was taken to
Paris. Its erection in the Place de la
Concorde was marked by a fine ex-
ample Of civic courage. 1t had been
brought from Egypt by the engineer
Lebas in a river boat specially con,
structed at Toulon, to navigate the
Nile and the Seine. This boat was
towed through the sea by a warship,
When the cables used in raising the
obelisk were strained almost to break
ing Lebas placed himself under the
enormous stone as 1T began to move.
If a single cable had broken all would
have been yer with the engineer. Elk
planning his hardihood Lebas said II
was to show the crowd Of onlookers
that he was sure of his calculations.
A single error and he would have been
crushed. and he preferred a tragic end
to dishonor. "This," said lie Cri de
Paris, twas In 1885, before our day of
interviews and Lebas occupied only a
few lines in the Constitutional, no
more, no less, than the periodical adj
ventures of the sea serpent"

REGULARITY OF WATER LILY
Moisture Remaining on Its
Leaves and Blossoms.

Slow-moving rivers, ponds and lakes
are the habitat of a flower which, as
most everybody knows, is the water
lily.
Did you ever know what gave the
leaves and blossoms of the "water
nymph" their shining appearance? 1t
is due to an oil which prevents water
remaining on them and clogging the
little mouths, or stomachs, through
which the plant breathes.
The leaves are large. fiat and nearly
round. The blossoms are very snowy,
measuring, in our common American
species, nearly six inches across. In
color they are white, pink and yellow.
Water lilies are particular about the
weather in which they bloom. On fine,
warm days the flowers open in the
morning and close at night, but on
dull, chilly days the flower does not
venture forth.
One member of the family, Victoria
regia, which grows in South America,
has a leaf six to twelve feet broad,
with a curious rim that gives 1t a tray
like appearance. The leaves are strong
enough to hold two men.

AVOID SPREAD OF DISEASE
Point Of importance Is That Sick chii-
dren Should Not Associate With
Their Pisymates.

That the general public. especially
the uneducated public, has no knowl-
edge Of the danger of the commoner
diseases of childhood and no apprecia-
ton of the peril of letting ailing little
ones associate with others at school
and Sunday school, is the assertion of
the New York Medical Journal.
Parents should be shown" IL says,
mot only that their children are dam
gerous to others, but that the reverse
is true"
The fear Of having the house pla-
carded and quarantined leads many
parents to conceal a child's illness,
sending word to school that ii has
chicken-pox, for instance, when really
1t may have smallpox, tonsillitis or
ever diphtheria. They do not summon
a doctor, and for the same reason.
What is needed is a campaign to edu-
cate parents as well as children to a
wholesome dread Of sick playmates
and to a realization of their duty to
keep their own sick little ones away
from their neighbors' well ones

In the question of light rooms 1t Is
a fact that windows grouped together
give more light than the same num-
Der and size of windows scattered
about the walls. For the too-dark
room, therefore, II is sometimes pos
sible to remodel TO the extent of cut
ting through the wall and joining
two separate windows In a bay. An
other advantage of such a step is to
apparently and actually increase the
extent of the Dom apparently
through the vista afforded. and
through the increased light In the
room, actually by the two or three
feet added in forming the bay. Or,
If a bay is not possible, the forming
of a line of windows, instead of the
two separated windows, will still
furnish the vista and the increased
light.

ART NOT ACQUIRED BY ALL
Really Proficient Naoger lie Born So,
but Accomplishment Is One That
Can Be Acquired.

Nagging your husband is a special
art by itself, and while some women
have a natural gift In that direction,
others can only acquire 1t by constant
application. A husband In a house Is
something like a hippopotamus. He is
often a dull, placid creature, hard to

powerful weapon with a fairly high
trajectory to do him any damage. Oc-
casionally, however, he develops SEN
sitive areas, and a become a o

who likes to nag.
Every woman knows, of course, that
her husband is more susceptible about
half an hour before dinner, when he
has come home from the Office tired
out. BY studying him carefully she
Will discover certain days in the
month when she can nag him with the
highest percentage of bull's-eyes.
The art of nagging, however, is not

method-that of dragging up some
dead, forgotten thing and talking
about 1t all over again, and still over
again=is also a splendid form of nag

Some wives, however, SO blind are
they, never see this at all. They just
go on, hopefully trying to make their
husbands happy. The high art Of nag

The Cotswolds are another example
of the variety of natural scenery that
England succeeds in packing away
within her narrow seabarred boun-

the largest city in the world, you can
walk In complete loneliness, over a
grassy road that follows the route laid
out by Roman engineers, with a tum-
bled skyline of real mountains on your

falling away to the left. You can take

Beware the Loaded Gun.

The man who returns from hunting
and sets his loaded gun In the corner
or hangs 1t on the wall is, In reality,
setting a death-trap. Yet 1t Is surpris-
ing how often this is done. The gun
we didn't know was loaded" is an
old. old story, says Farmers Guide.
You cannot be too cautious. The
loaded gun you may keep on the wall
to shoot crows with when they get in
the corn is liable to cause you more
loss than a million crows can. 1t takes
only a second TO put a cartridge In a
gun when the time is at hand. 1t
