 "A letter to the wide world.
 "Wednesday, June B:
 "'To All Girls and Boys Girls think it's fun to cause a poor boy to love them and then laugh at them and the boys are just as bad and that causes more killing than anything"
 Scott had been trying for some time to get the girl to marry him. Her mother had forbidden him the house. Wednesday afternoon Scott aps Deared at the Hammock home, armed with a 16-guage shotgun. He fired at the girl twice, one load striking her in the left hand the other enter ing her right side. inflicting a serious wound Scott then walked about 100 yards from the house, lay down by tbe roadside, placed the muzzle of the gun to his left ear and pulled the trigger, tearing away the top of his head.

City people have a great deal to say about country peoples greenness, hut if they would only think of some of their own peoples meanness, it would be better. Well, did not intend to write spring poetry, but when I yls- tied H. M. Rector's farm across the river from Natural Steps l discovered one of the finest dewberry patches ever saw. Not being a hog I left | there for the birds, humans and other insects and animals, but some people went out from Little Rock in autos, let down his fences, picked and vast ed berries, let the stock in which ate up one field of corn and yet city peo. pie wonder why farmers object 10 their visits to their farms.

GUESS AT POEMS MEANING
Speculation as to What Tennyson In
tended by His Famous Work,
"isdy of Shalott,"

TenRysOn's poem, Lady of ShalOtt,"
is purely imaginative in its theme, its
names, its motive and its details. There
is no such island as Shalott, no river
flowing down to Camelot, no such place
as Camelot, and, of course, there was
no such person as "the fairy Lady of
ShalOtt." The poem Is allegOrical,
and as the author never furnished a
key to its meaning every person IS
permitted to try to find one. 1t has
been suggested that "it represents the
history of Il woman living in c0nvcit-
giOnal world whose inhabitants do not
come into contact with the true sub
Stance of things around them, but to
whom these things appear, not as they
are in themselves, but as reflections
in mirror, which, Willie it registers
faithfully enough some few outside as
poets, hides altogether the living soul
by which those aspects are produced
and governed" That is not very IL
luminative. One critic says: "There
are thousands who are living in what
they dimly feel 80 be Il world of relec-
lions, not Of substances, or appear
ances, nor of realities, but ever and
anon they feel that this is not NIL
there is of life, and they, like the Lady
of Shalott, are half sick of shadows.
StllI, the illusions gather round them
again until something comes, most
probably in the shape Of u supreme
passion, which sweeps the old worlds
Illusions away forever and reveals the
new world of realities lying all around
them" Tie cracked mirror represents
this now revelation.

Truth About Sharks.

Recent investigations by New
York scientist seem to show that the
ferocious reputation Of certain great
tropical sharks is fUdhded 10 n large
extent on eXaggeratlon. Most at the
stories of savage attacks by these
brutcs become less and less sensational
the more closely they We're investlgat-
I'd. 1t was even found that many of
the species Of shark have weak jaws
and teeth, 50 that they find trouble in
tearing meat from Il dead whale, Ger
tain kinds Of sharks are, of course
highly dangerous animals but the bulk
of the tribe would seem to be less for
mldable than their reputation implies
. 1t was found that in some OF the larger
sbetics n blow from the tail was n
more effective attack than one dellv-
cred with the jaws.
