CARED LITTLE ABOUT MONEY
Daniel Webster Refused to b. Both
cred over Comparatively Paltry
Questions of Finance.

In A. B. Farquahar's THE First
Million the Hardest" he optimistically
points out that the senate has greatly
improved in business integrity since
Daniel Webster's day, when senators
could not be expected to bother about
paying their bills. Mr.. Farquahar was
once talking with Mr.. Corcoran (of
the Corcoran art gallery fame) in his
bank at Washington. Daniel Webster
had just been in to borrow money
and had asked the cashier to discount
his note for 500. The bank did not
discount notes that were not Endorsed,
so Webster went out and brought in
a note for 5000, Endorsed by another
senator with whom he had promised
to divide the profits. Mr.. Corcoran
remarked that the only value of the
note was as a curiosity. 1t was never
paid, and the Riggs bank still has 1t.
Daniel Webster was very careless
about all of his personal affairs" says
Mr.. Farquahar. HE was said to be
scrupulous about paying his gambling
debts, but he did not bother with little
bills. He often thought it quite enough
to give a creditor a copy of his sig
nature without ~bothering to honor the
promise to pay on 1t.
He was such a powerful, leonine
sort of a man and his voice was so
glorious and magnificent that | do
not believe any n in the country
would have ventured to mention such
a trivial thing as money,.in his pres
ence. Few more impressive men have
ever liyed-in fact, he had been called
a living lie, because, as was said, no
man could possibly be as great as
Webster looked"

Making Burqlars Tools.

The "BIack museum" at Scotland
Yard has recently acquired a fine set
Of house-breaking tools which had
been abandoned by their owner after
a burglary. These instruments show
wonderful workmanship. There is a
collapsible Jimmy that folds up in
the pocket, a rope ladder Of silk that
fits into the palm Of the hand, a num-
Der of keys and lock-picktng instru-
ments, and a neat oxygen-acetylene
blow-lamp. Where do burglars obtain
these marvellous tools? They are ex-
perts at making skeleton keys and 80
on, but they are not capable of max
ing the other implements. No respect
able firm manufactures such articles,
and, although a small quantity is
made secretly by employees of repu-
table firms, the majority come from
special factories engaged In nothing
else but making burglars tools. Such
factories are hidden away in back
streets, and it is almost impossible to
locate them.

Accounted for Attention.

A story told on the late Dean STAN
ley refers to his thorough immobility
in the pulpit. Preaching one morning
at Westminster abbey, he was pleased
to notice the perfect attention of his
congregation. At the close of the serv-
ice he remarked to his wife upon their
steadfast attendance on his words.
''They never seemed to take their eyes
off me-" he told her with obvious graft
fication. mo wonder, my dear" said
Lady Agatha, Seeing you had n of
your gloves on your head all the time
you were preaching" Placing his
gloves in. his hat on leaving home, the
dean had removed his hat in the vestry
upon being gowned and had walked
reverently to the pulpit that
he was carefully balancing one glove
on his head.

Mystery of Trees.

One of the most puzzling questions
In botany is, "Why or how does water
rise to the top of a tree?"
Various explanations of the pheno-
menon have been proposed, but none
Is regarded as altogether satisfactory.
One investigator attacked the problem
by means of interesting and novel ex-
%periments. For instance, he construct
ed an artificial tree Of plaster of paris
and found that water moved upward
in 1t more than 40 feet high. Yet he
was unable to base any definite con
clusion upon the results that he OBJ
tanned. The water travels a large part
of the way in a film, between bubbles
on the one side and the wall on the
other. But the physical properties of
the film are yet MISUNDERSTANDING

INTEREST IN BETTER STOCK
Rapid Growth; Enrolment
Passes 5000 Mark.

With the growing understanding Of
the utility value of purebred live stock
and especially purebred sires, the list
of persons enrolled in the Better
Sires-Better Stock" campaign is rap
dly increasing. The middle of Au-
gust it passed the 5000 mark, signify
ing that many persons have filed
statements with the United States De
partment of Agriculture that their
livestock breeding operations will BIO
conducted henceforth on a purebred-
sire basis. This includes all classes of
domestic live stock. including poultry.
In some counties of limited area the
number of farms is relatively small.
Gordon B. Nance, county agent Of
Oldham county, Kentucky, points out,
however, that although his county has
only 1896 farms, 10 per cent Of the
farmers have signed enrolment
blanks, which signifies active partici-
patton in systematic livestock i'm
provement work. Other counties in
which 10 per cent or more of the
farmers are using purebred sires ex-
clusively are: Pulaski county, Vir-
ginia, 80 per cent Kittitas county,
Washington, 18 per cent; Greene coun-
ty, Ohio, ID per cent; and Orange
county, Virginia, 10 per cent. In this
connection the bureau Of animal in
dustry points out that the proportions
are for all farms and that the per-
centages for farms in which live stock
Is the principal market product prob
ably would be much higher.

Carlbs' Flashing Thunder Bird.

The Australian thick-headed shrike
is about six inches long, rtch-yellow
below, with a Jet-black collar and a
white throat, black head and partly
black tail. 1t is sometimes called the
bla~ck-breasted hy-catcher and 1t has
also a variety Of French and New
Latin names.
In the mythology of some low
tribes, such as the Caribs, Brazilians,
Harvey islanders, Karens, Bechunas
and Basutos, there are legends of a
Tapping or flashing thunder bird,
which seems to translate into myth
the thought Of thunder and lightning
descending from the upper regions
Of the air, the home Of the eagle and
the vulture.

RAISE BUGS TO FIGHT BUGS
French Scientists Breed Insects and
Birds That Are Enemies of Fruit
Destroying Pests.

There is a quaint institution In Men
tone, in the south Of France, known
as the Insectarium. where learned pro-
fessors are rearing various species of
bugs and other insects.
Mentone Is in the center Of an i'm
portant fruit-growing district, and the
object Is to discover the best means of
fighting those insect pests that prey
upon plants and ruin the fruit.
The orchards have suffered severely
through the ravages of the mealy bug,
and the fruit growers were becoming
quite alarmed. Then experts discov-
cred that three other species of bug
are the natural enemies of the mealy.
SO these are being bred and reared
and turned loose in the orchards as
allies of the fruit growers.
The institution is also breeding GER
tain species of ladybirds to destroy the
cochineal, an insect that plays havoc
with orange and lemon trees. These
ladybirds have been brought from far
Australia and California.
The institution is nothing less than
an up-to-date insect farm, consisting
of a large private house and an acre
Of ground. In the laboratory are rows
upon rows of phials and jars, the
.arvae of various insects which are
kept at a high temperature. In the gar
len are cages full of all kinds of
and flying pests.

ELECTION RETURNS
BY PRIVATE WIRE

W. A. Rodgers introduced an in
novation in receiving election re-
turns Tuesday evening by having a
private Western Union wire INSTALL
ed in his billiard parlor. A large
chart was placed on the wall for the
tabulation of county results and re-
tuns from tn state and from eastern
were bulletined. There was an
enthusiastic crowd of spectators all
evening and the innovation was
greatly appreciated.

D0DDER WILL HARM ALFALFA
Where Farmer Is Planning to Let
Crop Stand for Seed 1t Is Wise
to Look for Weeds.

If you are planning to let alfalfa
stand for seed look your field over for
dodder. Once is not enough. It should
be done several times before cutting.
Alfalfa seed containing dodder seed IS
lnsalable in some states and 3 dis
eliminated against in all markets. 1t
Is impossible by any known method to
free alfalfa seed of the large-seeded
dodders. The only practical procedure
is to see that the field is free from

FIRE AT WHALEN HOME

The fire truck was called out Sat
urday evening in response to an
alarm sent in from the Denny Whalen
home on Custer street. The house
is owned by the Monarch Lumber
Co. and was damaged to the extent of
about $3.50. The house was only
partly furnished but the contents
practically a total loss. The
origin of the fire is attributed to
over heated furnace. Mr.. Whalen
was out of town and Mrs Whalen
had gone to one of the neighbor's
when the fire started.
