One on the Judge.

A judge, who used to wear very long waving hair and heavy beard, one day was on his way to court when he was accosted by a little street boot black, with an exceedingly dirty face, with the customary "Shine, sir?" He was very importunate and the judge being impressed with the terrible state of the boys face said: '"I don't want shine, but if you'll go and wash your face, I'll give you sixpence." All right, sir.' "Well, let me see you do it." The boy went to neighbor- ing fountain and made his ablutions. Returning, be held out his hand for the sixpence. The judge said: "Well, you earned the money. Here it is." But the boy said: q don't want your money, old fellow. You can take it and have youc hair cut," and forth with scampered off.

OFFICIALS GREEDY.
Craighead County Officials Trying to
 Get Back on Fat Fee Basis.

Jonesboro, Jan. 27.-Claude L. Brinton, representative from this county in the Arkansas legislature arrived yesterday from Little Rock, and will confer with the voters and taxpayers of this city and county re- "alding certain bills he has introduc- ed in the legislature. One of special interest that he will discuss is the bill introduced by him to repeal the salary bill for the county officers put ting them back to the old fee basis. Formerly the circuit clerk and other offices pald from S5.000 to $7,000 per year and under the present system it ia contended that the present salaries are not large enough to allow the of ficers to employ sufficient clerks to dc the work necessary to keeping the proper records. Others claim the sal ary system should be tried out enc year before being changed back to the fee basis.

The Great Melting Pot.

The public school is the best-knoWn and most relied upon melting pot that America has; it is a tradition that the five-year-old Slav, Czech, Italian, French, German. British and other Strangers" enter the public school to come out after a dozen years quite Americanized Or well on the way to being so. But this function of the pub lie school as melting pot for the ra- cial elements is always considered in its relation to the pupils only, while it's relation to the teachers is in reality even more interesting. Superintendent F. D. Spaulding of the Minneapolis public schools tells us that the 44o teachers appointed to that city's teach- ing staff during the last two years rep resent 23 natiOnalities. Only 5l per cent of the teachers appointed are of American, English-American or Eng fish parentage Fifteen per cent are of Norwegian or Swedish percentage, II per cent of German, per cent ot Irish, 4 per cent of Scotch and ? per cent of French percentage. The spanish, hus- sian. Jewish, Danish and Bohemian races are other elements represented by competent teachers in the Mlnneap- oils schools.
 Goodness Shown in Countenance.
 The good man is as beautiful as he is oood. Goodness, everyone knows. has a tendency to make per son agreeable; even in its outward form it throws holy luster out of the eyes, it gives noble aspect to the face and forehead.-Bayley.

Scientific Discovery of Value.

The British Medical Journal an- nouuces that a remarkable scientific discovery is now on trial at the casuaI- ty clearing stations in France. The in- ventor is James Shearer, ScOtchnan twenty years old, employed as ser geant in the medical corps. The new discovery succeeds just where A-ray photography fails. It produces pie lures of structures located far below the surface of the outer skin just at the point where X-ray photography ceased to perform effectively. By means of it, it is possible in broad daylight to obtain detailed pictures of the internal organs and to see at a glance by what gross lesions they may be affected. The apparatus works as long as the body is living, and even until molecular death mas set in. After that it does not work.

Women Who Smoke.

Smoking by women of the educated class in America Is so recent a habit that we are rather apt to forget that, taking the sex all the world over, prob- ably the majority smoke, and of those who do the pipe is the form of in diligence generally favored. In Japan, for example, woman has smoked ever since tobacco was introduced, and in- variably used the pipe of metal with
 the tiny bowl holding only sufficient tobacco to provide half a dozen whiffs, which was in universal use until the cigarette entered Japan with other western innovations. In Ireland the peasant woman is often to be seen with a pipe in her mouth and it is generally a clay.-NeW York Morning Telegraph.

Utah Bird Sanctuary.

In an effort to save the rapidly dis appearing wild bird life of the state arrangements have been completed for the establishment of Utahs first bird sanctuary, to cover an area of 700 acres. The use of the land is given free virtually to the state by property owners of the Big Cottonwood district, about four miles east of Murray. State Fish and Game Commissioner Cham bers will place quail and pheasants on the land, and his deputies will sprinkle feed there when the heavy snows of winter make it difficult for the birds to find anything to eat.

Bait for Pigeons.

A little salt mixed with a quantity of common yellow clay and placed on the roof or on a board on the side of an Outbuilding will attract the com mon pigeons to such an extent it will not be difficult to secure quite bevy of these birds. It is known that the pigeon loves little salt, and as most of the natural salt Ecks, as they were called in early days, are gone, the birds will soon discover the salt with the moist earth.

In his early days, when he was tutor in charge of stu dent discipline at Yale, q sort of proc tor, apparently, he was called out of his room by some midnight escapade He was obliged as a matter of duty to pursue the disturbers, and with his long legs he soon found himself gain ing rapidly upon them. Thereupon a solemn voice rang out suddenly into the night:

FIRE HYDRANT PROVES ALIBI

Winslow has just passed new or dinance prohibiting Fords and auto- mobiles from standing near fire hyd- rants and on the wrong side of the street.
 A we'll known citizen of Flagstaff "forded" down to Winslow Wednesday morning and pulled up in front of the Winslow Penney store and entered into conversation with Manager Me Killop.
 Shortly afterwards he came out and noticed the majesty of the law view ing his Ford with undisguised surprise and when he came up Marshal Dun ham said: "Too near the fire hydrant" indicating a fire plug about ten feet away. Where did you come from, didn't you ever live in city before ?"
 q give you my word" exclaimed the surprised driver, "that hydrant was not there when I drove up, for, I looked around carefully for just that sort of thing before leaving"
 Frying to kid me ?" asked the offic- CT. "Do you think carry these hyd- rants around under my arm and stick them up in front of every bug I don't like the looks of? Or do you imagine that they are a new kind of cactus that grows up out the cement every few minutes?"
 At this juncture a third person stepped into the scene. He was a man of very generous physical proportions, both as to height and horizontal ex- pansion. "Mr. Officer" he observed, "the gentleman is right. The hydrant was not in sight when he drove up. l was sitting on it."

Women who are seriously taking to farming and gardening have had to decide on suitable clothes to work in. They have adopted practical overalls and simple uniforms consisting of a short skirt and a plain, practical waist.
 When we talk overalls, however, it does not mean that we must give up all those fascinating summer clothes we have been planning to wear just as soon as the weather would be warm enough to allow us to indulge in them. For, of course, there will still be times to dance, and then we shall wear those ravishing frocks of net and or gandy, chiffon and tulle, and those other airy nothings which are so nec- essary to the happiness of women. Then, too, there will come the times to play when we shall revel in those wonderfully attractive sports clothes with gay striped and plaid skirts and the smart belted middy blouses.
 But, to go back to the overalls. Whether women are really going to devote a great deal ftime to farm ing in earnest, or whether they are simply going to cultivate the small plot in the backyard to raise the veg etables for the family supply, an over all suit is the thing to get.

THE NEW STYLE PATRIOT

Listen, my children, and you shall
 hear Of a patriots work in this present
 year. He didn't ride through the roads at
 night To rouse the neighbors to arm and
 fight, But he went to work with a spade and
 hoe And he made ten bushels of 'taters
 grow. He mopped the sweat from his beady
 brow As he trudged behind his handpower
 blow; His hands grew tough and his feet got As he turned the stubborn furrows o'er, And his neighbors, laughed as they
 called him slow. But he made ten bushels of 'taters
 grow. Oh, cheer the boy with the sword and
 gun, Who has fought and bled, when the
 war is done, And cheer the generals and majors,
 too, And the sailors bold on the ocean
 blue; But cheer this man and his spade and
 hoe, For he made ten bushels of 'taters
 grow.

LAKE SAYS HE KNOWS
NOTHING OF REWARD
PROMISED FILIPINO

Nothing to it," emphatically de-
clares Criminologist Harry T. Lake OF
the city attorneys office, answering
the allegation of one Bonifacio Sierra
no, Filipino, that Lake was to receive
a reward for rounding up a band Of
counterfeiters recently.
This Filipino gave nae information
as to the whereabouts Of the counter
feiters and | went out and got them,
Lake asserts There was nothing said
about a reward or that would divide
any reward with this man."
Bonifacio has teen hanging around
the u. s. marsnars office seeking
what he declares is his share of the
purrorted reward. The federal Off
GERS say they know nothing about it.,
and Lake declares he is just as much
in the. darkssssAlthhngh arrested with
the other alleged onRterfeiters, Bom-
ia clio was not indicted. This. thinks
Lake, should be sufficient reward.
