"Chu Chin Chow" achieved a glori-
GUS triumph with splendors that
amazed the immense audience. This
so-called musical tale Of the East
Is the old tale of the forty thieves

more than extravaganza. In its

The swiftly changing scenes are not

they possess beauty that charms the

bizarre works OF art that the effect

There were smaller pictures framed

. JOHN D, JR.

Some men grow great; others have greatness thrust upon them and still others grow great in their own right despite the handicap. or, of you pre- fer, advantage, of having a great par ent. To this latter class belongs John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Here is an heir to millions and millions who lets. the burden of money rest very lightly on his shoulders. To meet him on the street you would take him for the ev- eryday run of prosperous business men, and nothing more He makes no pretensions and, on the contrary. avoids ostentatfon with almost scru- pu1ous care. There are a great many young men born to riches to settle down in life only after they have had a high and a gay old time. Money is nothing to them for they never had to life finger to make it. Dad did that for them. But John D. Jr., is an entirely different kind of man. Life to him isn't frivolous There are any number of things, vital things to be done and. young MT. Rockefeller early decided to do them. For that reason his father has long intrusted him with the spending of millions for cha irritable purposes Aside from that there are these great deeds of benevo-
 lence which are done in the spirit ad- vocated by the Good Book. that is, that the right hand.sshall not even know when the left hand is doing
 deeds of charity. MT. Rockefeller, Jr., has. of course, long been asso- ciated with the business interests of his father Eut his chief interest is devoted to the many institutions for
 phyiscal, social and moral better
 ment to which he belongs. John D Jr., Is married to daughter of the late Senator Nelson w. Aldrich o1 Rhode Island.

ROSE CHAPTERS
 DOING DAMAGE

The rose chafers, or t'rose bugs,'' as they are commonly called. are unusu- ally numerous this summer and are fruit trees, shrubbery and In the vege- table gardens. ;sssssases aes ssz
 These insects are about one-third Of an inch long and dull yellowish green in color. They are easily recognized by their sprawIy appearance. Their work is not difficult to determine, as they skin off the surface of the leaves, leaving large brown area. where the green portions were before. Forum ately, these insects do not last but a short time. usually not more than three weeks or a. month. and they have been present for nearly half of that time already, so they are due to cease their injurious work during the
 middle or latter part of July. They
 spend the remainder of the year in the ground.
 There are more than hundred dif-
 ferent food plants attacked by rose chafers, but this year there have been
 many complaints regarding the injury
 they are doing in the gardens on the
 beans, and also to peach trees.
 Not only do they do injury to plants,
 but chickens, ducks and turkeys eat- ing them are poisoned and die within twenty-four hours after filling their crops with these Insects. Juice from these insects injected into the blood oe rabbits caused death in a few min- rtes, showing the large amount of poi |Yson in the chafers. Chickens up to | ten weeks of age are liable to be poi soned; hence they should be kept from fields with daisies. or away from grape vines and birch trees, else losses are likely to occur.
 The control of the rose chafer is a little difficult owing to the fact that they are able to stand a greater insect; hence it is necessary to spray amount of arsenic than the ordinary the aresnate of lead in paste form, using four pounds of the paste to fifty gallons of water and mix into this one gallon of cheap mo1asses as a bait | This would amount to about one ta- blespoonful to one gallon of water when used in small quantities If the arsenate of lead is used in the powder ed form two pounds to fifty gallons ot | water should be used.
 i Most shade and fruit trees and gar den crops will stand this amount. Par is Green could not be used in large quantities without the liability of do | ing injury to the leaves by burning them with the spray.

KILLING BIRDS.

There is said to be this summer, among ignorant classes of people, q perfect orgy for bird killing. The hig price price of meat constitute an added temptation. h Te fact that MT. Robin and Mir. Bluebird have sweet songs does not deter them. They smack the pot pie in their hun gry lips, also the dollars the game dealers will pay.
 Meanwhile we are trying in this country to raise an increased food supply to win this war. We have planted much more land than usual. The pests are increasing proportion- ately. There will be a bug for every the birds. which are the protection the birds, which are the proctection against pests, do not increase pro- portionately. In fact it seems likely that with this free killing they will decrease. Big crops can't be raised under these conditions.
 Protection of bird life is part of the war game. Let police officers get after the bird killers as one of our most insidious e1emies. The place for the man who wants to do any shooting is in the trenches.

When she was six years old civil war broke out in Eng land and the. remaining nine years Of her life were spent with strangers She saw her father only a few times during those years, the last time on the. day before his execution.

A year and a half after his death she, too. at the age of 15, breathed her last.

SOMETHING IN CHARACTER
 WARNS THE HEART
Thou are my life, my love, my heart The very eyes of me; And has commando of every part
 To live and die, for thee"

To live and die for thee"
 It is a mistake to believe that the ideals of people are degenerating. It
 is a great error to be led into the
 supposition that the modern woman
 must be piquant, trifie risque, a
 quarter f1irt, and three quarters CO quette to appeal to the general run of
 mankind. While it seems true that such women seem to prosper most, 1t lis equally a fact that their supremacy lasts but a brief hour. It Is noble character which wins out, ending in victory. When g. man meets strange
 young woman she impresses him in
 one way or another. He boldly throws a compliment at the giddy young wo-
 man. He crosses the sword of the trifer with the flirt. But before the
 young woman of lofty character he finable something about her which
 warns his heart to the core It would
 never occur to him to attempt firt-
 ation with her. The feeling in his
 heart for her is reverence. She
 rouses all that is best in his nature,
 gives even his thoughts ard his ann bition g. new course.
 It matters not to sensible man if
 the woman who arouses this interest
 in him be plain of face, or if her steps lead her through the humblest path. That lofty, undefinable some thing in her character Is a magnet
 which draws him irresistabiys to her. What sight Is more inspiring to a
 man than a white robbed nurse, wear. ing the emblem of her profession, the
 red cross? These nurses are all gen.
 tlewomen, patient, refined, who have left the gaities of the world behind
 them to minister to those who are in anguish and sorrow It takes great
 force of character to accomplish the
 work such women have laid out for themselves. If every unattached sol
 dier could have his way about it, af-
 ter the great was Is over, he would
 seek out such a woman of lofty char acter who slnoothed his pillow and made life bearable for him in the hour of his direst need. In all walks of life there are to be found these women of noble character who, leave their inn press upon those who are brought in contact with them. They are not the different way. They are like a
 passionate women, whose love is like wine They stimulate, but in quite a idraught of cool, e-giving water on a sultry day They upIift the heart, l inspire a. sraan to good and great deeds and are buIwarlzs for him to lean sj against, if he wavers from want so1 strength or courage. A chaste wo-
 man Is Gods most perfect handiwork; ia Blessing while his lafe shall last, to the man who wins her dor a wife The
 girl with noble character is not nee tessaTily sedate or quiet. She may be merry with the thoughtlessness o1 lchildhood. IA man is always safe ir lg1ving his heart to a girl of noble principles and character of true worth She will always hold his yhonor untar- finished, and her children will be gems

RICH BEGGARS

There are many instances of beg gars who, amid sQualor, rags and dirt,
 contriye to amass considerable sums
 of money. They generally conceal their wealth during life and it is only when they die that their accumu1a- tions of money are found. Usually the money is found tucked away in furniture and bedding. and other strange places. Rarely have rich beg gars deposited their money in banks. Among the many recorded examples iof rich beggars are Margaret Ever cit, who begged the streets of Lon don for many years, lived in unutter- able squalor and left $500; Esther Davies who died in London at the advanced age Of 103 and who for thirty years was street began and a parich ward, left $500; Mary Will l kinson, beggar and bone grubbeT
 whose rags gave forth $1,500; Frances I Beet, in whose bedding about $4,000
 was found, and finally Poor Joe All Alone a famous beggar in the streets
 of London, who left $15, ,000, and will
 led it to widows and orphans One oi
 the most remarkable beggars of all
 times was the famous Dandon. of Ser
 lin, a professor of languages by day
 and a beggar by night. When he l
 creted under the flooring of his room fProbably the most remarkable beg
 gar for his eccentricities was Will liam Stevenson who died at Kilmar-
 mock July IS, 1817. In 1787 Steven
 son and his wife separated ana mace
 an sagreement that whoever should propose reunion irw should forfeit l 100 pounds. They never saw each lother again. When he was eighty
 five years old he was stricken with
 an incurable disease and feeling the end approaching he ordered an ela- borate burial feats. made proyiEions ! for a large, roomy coffin and a simi-
 lar grave. He left about $5,000
 which he distributed among distant
 relatives, but set aside a considerable
 sum to provide a feast for all beg: gars who should care to come and see
 his body "lie in state Naturally the news of this spread rapidly among
 the beggars and hundreds Of them
 flocked to the side of the coffin. Af-
 ter the funeral the sbeggars retired to 3 barn which had been set aside fol 1 the purpose and indulged in revelries l that were not very much in accord. ance with the solemn occasion.

Cirls Dress in Surplice Style.

nous terms in youthful fashions, SO that peculiar interest is attached to this little frock with the long-waist- ed blouse fastening in surplice style. One of the smart new shades of red gingham is used for it's development. Attached to the blouse under a straight belt is a .tWo-piece gathered skirt trimmed with pockets. The front is in panel style. In medium size the dress requires 3h yards 36- inch material
 There Is real comfort in the pat- rern of the frock because In. the de Sign every seam possible has been eliminated. A study of the cutting guide will help one to realize more fully just what that means First the gtngham Is laid on smooth surface, the floor or dining-room table, If there is not regular sew ing-table. The front gore Is laid on the lengthwise fold of gingham, with the back gore placed to the right of it. Sufficient materials remains after cutting the back gore to provide for the piecing for the front gore. To the right of the back gore, in the order named, are the back and collar.
 With the exception of the bait, which has the straight edge placed parallel with the selvage of the ging- ham, the remaining sections of the pattern are laid on the gingham so that the large "O' perforations in each rest on lengthwise thread.
