RSnance of a Statue.

OF all Robert Burns statues scat
tered over the world, one of the finest,
and the one with the most romantic
history, Is that in Washington park,
Albany, N. Y. 1t is the work of n
local artist born of English parents,
but the cost was betrayed by an &C.
centric and clOse-fisted old maid, Mary
Mcpherson, who, with her false hair
and the gay colors and fine clothes in
which she nrrayed her weary old body,
was an object Of ridicule to the
thoughtless youth of the town.
She put inside her gaudy clothes only
when she went into mourning for her
father and brother. From them she in
herited n considerable fortune, and,
through the persistence of two old
Scottish friends of her father, she was
induced to leave the greater part OF
$4,000 for the erection of Il worthy
memorial to the poet of her native
land. Albany, which used to make fun
of poor Mary Mcpherson," is today
proud of her.

"chinese Knew the English"


An Englishman who was appointed
to an important post in China married
soon after. Among the recipients of
the usual little cardboard boxes con.
tanning pieces of wedding cake was a
Chinese merchant with whom the
bridegroom had an outstanding ac-
count for goods supplied. After the
honeymoon one of the first persons
the newly-wedded husband met was
his Celestial creditor.
'And how did you like the cake?'
said the Englishman, laughingly, after
the usual congratulations.
''Ah, ha," returned the Chinaman,
with cunning leer, ''me no such big
fool to eat him, sab, me put cakee in
fire. Burn him up. Ha he!
"Oh, that's too bad" said the Eng
lishman, very much hurt. "You might
have tasted 1t at least, out of compli-
ment to my wife and myself. Why
didn't your"
"Me too clute, sah,' said the Celes-
tinl, with the same cunning smile.
"You owe me monee, sab; sendee pol
son cakee; eat him; die; you no
payee up. Houp-la! He! he! hei

Rloaest Oil Well Canned.

Word comes of the successful cap
ping of what Is probably the biggest
oil well ever known. This well is In
the Tampico field In Mexico, whence
the British navy gets most Of its fuel

barrels a day. 1t was estimated that
the stream first flowed with pressure
of 1900 pounds to the square inch.

the treatment of manure water eX-
tract of the hellebore is prepared by
adding one-half pound of the powder
to every ten gallons of water and
after stirring it is allowed to stand "a
hours.
"The simple and effective stock
mixture thus prepared is sprinkled
over the manure at the rate of ten
gallons to every eight bushels ten
cubic feeD of manure. From the re-
suit of - experiments with manure
piles treated under natural CON
ditions it appears that such treat
ment results in the destruction of
from SS to 90 per cent of the fly
larvae.
Another chemical found to be even
more effective rs larvicide is
powdered bornx. The best results are
obtained when the boraX is applied
in solution. or when water is sprinkled
on after the boraX has been scattered
evenly over the filth. BoraX is not
only effective in killing the larvae of
flies, but when 1t comes in contact
with the eggs it eXerts Il toxic ac-
ton which prevents them from hatch
ing.
"Antify crusades have been very
numerous in recent years, and some
have been noteworthy both as to
methods and results. However, it Is
not amiss now to emphasize the i'm
portance of concerted organized eff
fort on the part of whole communi-
ties. not only cities, but suburban
and rural neighborhoods as well. BY
the most painstaking care one may
prevent all fly breeding on his
premises, but it will avail him little
if his neighbors are not equally care
full. Some sort of cooperation Is
necessary. One of the first and most
important elements in any antify cru
snde is vigorous and continued edu-
cational campaign to bring the people
to realization of the dangers from
flies and the possibility Of getting rid
of them"

 There is an old saying that Hove laughs at locksmiths"s Never did lock- smiths work harder to thwart the com mands of cupid, and never did the little winged rogue of a matchmaker laugh louder than in the battle for the heart of Clover.
 For Glover was well worth fighting for. So thought the Duke, who wanted her money; so thought "Bucky" Raine, who couldn't understand that his very presence would make the delicate little Clover blossom wither; so thought her scheming aunt and uncle, who were willing to sell Clover to the highest bidder. And the locksmths were all on their side.
 And Dr. Billy Dunn thought Clover was well worth fighting for too, and though he had only happy smile and an antquated tub of motor car, all though both he and Glover were plung- ed into a murder mystery that threat ened destruction. Cupid was on his side and there you are.

Baby Marie Osborne

Webster did not define Joy as being synonymous with Babie Marie Osborne but if he had known her. he would have done Joy and the Dragon" is another Little Mary Sunshine Won der Picture. one of Pathes Baby Mar ie Osborne Gold Rooster plays, and will be at the Palace for the last time tonight
 Baby Marie is child distinctly apart from the theatre and it's studio. She doesn't affect mature mannerisms and when Henry King as Hal impro- vises a nightgown for her from flour sack marked Guaranteed Pure and Wholesome" it just a5ut describes the character Of the picture.
 Joy and the Dragon is study in sunshine. Baby Marie wins the heart of everyone who sees her. The grouch- es melt into grins from the start of the first reel.
 Joy and the Dragon doesn't depend solely on it's tiny star. It had good history which stands on it's own mer- its. The story was written by Win M. Ritchey, and apart from giving the spectator cause to be pleased over the child. he sustains the interest through out by introducing a generous bit of villiany and several elaborate thrills.
 There is an explosion. a melodramat- c twist in the plot which introduces a number of sensational falls executed by two of the actors. but when you come away. these things will not be uppermost in your minds. IL will be Baby Marie Osborne. and you will come back to see her again.

Music lovers come to hear it. Those who have no education in really fine mu- sic may take the opportunit. to talk and thus spoil the pleasure of sev- eral dozen. It is unfair to yonr neigh Dor and the practice should be dis continued.
