Yet The beginning of "Gargoyles" is as
artificial and inartistic as it is ugly,
whereas in Queen Bess' Feast" the au-
thor has succeeded in creating a picture
with the fewest possible strokes. More
than that he has stimulated the imagina-

reader himself without knowing it, fills

story made that journey in order to be

that Mr. Hecht will hear some brazen

Smiths suggestion is entirely sound.
1t is the opinion of one such "brazen

One Afternoons in Chicago" is worth
"Dorn" and "Gargoyles" together, with
the abominable "Fantazius Mallare" of
short life and unsavory memory thrown
in for good measure. The sketches that
make up "a Thousand and One After

or pose but hard work. They are the ex
preston of a genuine talent There are
bits here and there of which Guy de Maui

would be humbly and reverently off at

Authors Works
And Their Ways

Jesse w. Weik, in his 1.-THE Real Lin
coln," which Houghton Mifflin Company
have just published, gives a number of
intimate memories and little known views
of the great President. The book shows
that Lincoln was susceptible to feminine
charms, referring to proposals of mar
riage he made to Ann Rutledge, and after
her death to Mary Owens and Sarah
Richard After they had declined his offer
he proposed and was accepted by Mary
Todd. In paying court to Miss Richard
the author was told by that lady that Mr..
Lincoln was delicate and attentive to the
point of gallantry; made her several beau
tiful presents. and. in press
ing his suit urged that because the Sarah
of Bible times became the wife of Abra-
ham, therefore she, Sarah Richard, in
view of that precedent, was foreordained
to marry Abraham Lincoln"
Sir James Barrie's play Dear Brutus,"
which was produced in America several
years ago, has just been published by
Charles ScrTbner's Sons.

nineteen-year- daughter Mary Isabel,
who will share the lecture platform with
him. Mr.. Garlands first stop will be in

his nationwide tour.
Wilfrid Ewart, the English writer, au-

in his proof sheets, stroked out the query
and stood by the diphthong." Eventually
the diphthong was abandoned in favor of
the two separate letters. Reverting to
Mr.. Ervine's linking of "a. E." with the
names of Moore, Shaw and Yeats, the
chapter under discussion goes on to say:
'Mr. Shaw likes to think of himself as an
economist, but he is more than an econo-
mist; he is John the Baptist pretending
to be Karl Marx "A E. likes to think of
himself as an expert on the price of but
ter and milk and cows and sheep, but he
is more than an expert on these things
he is Blake pretending to be Sir Horace
Plunkett, or Walt Whitman pretending to
be President Wilson"

Fleas sometimes cause consider

"stlck tight fleas" are usually found
in groups or clusters on the comb,

Bile waste. brush piles, lumber piles,
etc.
To control fleas, il Is necessary

places. Sometimes fence corners,
with tall weeds, are great harborlng
places, and breeding places. The
first step is TO clean up around the
place. cut the weeds, remove all

Poultry Bed Bugs
Poultry bed bugs resemble the
blue tick or blue bug IN many re-
spects. Their methods Of attack
are very much the same rs the fowl
blue bug. To control Of this pest,
use the same methods as those that
are recommended for the blue bugs,
viz. paint the inside and outside Of
the houses with carbolineum, more
commonly known as wood preser-
vative.
Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes in some sections OF
the state are a serious menace to
the fowls. They worry and irritate
them all night. The most effective
control measure is to screen all
windows, doors and openings with
regular mosquito screening. Another
very satisfactory means of control
consists Of spraying the inside Of
the hen houses just before dark with
some strong disinfectant like creso
or Zenoleum. Any strong odor will
keep them away to a large extent.
We have also used a so called "vap-
porizer" with some success. This
is sold by the Zenner Disinfectant
Co., Detroit, Michigan. II consists
of lamp and bowl. The bowl is
located over the lamp and is full
of some strong disinfectant such as
Zenolium. The heart of the lamp
vaporizes the disinfectant and if
properly placed. the wind will blow

that there are not some good bust

offered by the students, there al
ways being exceptions 10 the rule,
but these exceptions are scarce, and
reliable estimate Of the real bust

a glimpse at the Annual.
We like those Lubbock high school
students because they have done
some things that were not equalled
by any other school, and because
they are fine bunch that II Is a

Sesley Les Mite
The scalcy lex mite lives and
breeds beneath The scales Of the
shanks and toes Of chickens. Il u
extremely annoying and often times
causes the fowl TO become lame.
This infectation shows neglect In
the care Of fowls. Il shows they
are not well kept, and they should
be. Old hens are more subject TO
scalcy leg mites. They spread from
one fowl 10 another while they are
on their roosts. To prevent them
from spreading Il is good idea 10
paint their roosts with oil or car
bolineum. Carbolineum may be
purchased locally or from Wehrli-
fones CO., zoos Main Street, Dallas,
Texas. The best way to control
scaley leg mite Is by greasing them
with common lard 10 which has
been added 20 per cent Kerosene
II the shanks are not too heavily
infested we have been successful
by dipping the shanks and toes for
a second into common Beaumont
oil or crude oil. Another good
remedy is, to rub the effected places
with equal parts Of kerosene oil and
linseed OIL In using Kerosene eX-
ercise great care not to get II on
any Of the feathered parts Of the
fowl or on the skin. for II causes
considerable irritation.
Depluming Mite
The depluming mite burrows un-
der the skin near the base Of the
feathers. This develops an itching
which sometimes causes the fowls
to get the bad habit Of Feather
eating" To control this pest, we
recommend dipping the affected
fowl into the following solution:
Two ounces of flowers Of sulphur
and one half ounce Of laundry soap,
to each gallon of water. Dip the
fowl in the same way as recon-
mended for dipping in Sodium Flu
oride to kill lice Keep the solu-
tion well stirred while the process
of dipping is going on.

IN CITY LAST SATURDAY

J. X. Millwee, Of Plainview, owner
Of a ranch, twenty-five miles south
west Of Lubbock. was in town Sat
urday transacting business.
Mr.. Millwee has the distinction OF
having planted the first sugar cane
on the Plains so far as records
show, he having accomplished the
work Of cultivating crop Of the
cane on what is now known as the
George Bowles place on the can
yon, in the spring Of 1885.
Mr.. Millwee has always been a
believer in the Plains, ard said that
the rapid developments made in the
Lubbock trade territory have not
surprised him in tho least, as he
has believed that there were great
possibilities Of the Plains becoming
the leading agricultural center Of
the state for many years.
We were glad to note that Mr..
Millwee has associated the Avn
lanche with the factors that have
helped to develop West Texas. and
are sure We appreciate having had
him as reader Of the Avalanche
a. much as he has appreciated the
paper. "The Avalanche was the best
weekly newspaper published In Tex

as a Semi-weekly" Mr.. Nillwee said.
