Woman Warned to Quit State.

Chippewa Falls, Feb. S.-A letter in
which the writer threatens to burn
her farm buildings unless she leaves
the state within q month has been re-
ceiyed by Mrs. Minnie Parsons, resid-
ing~on a farm near here. The let
ter, which bears no signature. was
found in the mail box of Mrs Par
sons sister-in-law. neighbor, and
reads as follows: 'Pll give you one
mo. to sell out and leave the state, or
go up in smoke Do as you please"
Mrs. Parsons is at a loss to explain
the threat as she is not aware of
having any enemies. The letter will
be turned over to the postal authori-
ties for investigation.

BARNACLES LONG A MYSTERY
Up to Comparatively Few Years Ago
the Small Creatures Were
Wrongly CIasssd.

So indefinite and hazy were the re-
suits of investigation In it's case that
until a very few years ago the
barnacle was classed with the mol
lusca, although 1t is really a crusta-
cean. 1t is developed from free-swim-
ming larvae and attaches itself to
rocks or timbers, which it never leaves
again, unless torn off by force.
There prevailed during the Middle
ages curious Superstition that the
barnacle was the egg of a migratory
goose, the eggs being attached to the
branches OF trees that overhung the
water. Not until it was found that the
bird had its nesting place In the
Arctic regions and came South dur
ing the polar winter was this fiction
disproved But the bird is still known
as the barnacle goose.
The barnacle also attaches itself
to living organisms, one of its favorite
lodging places being the huge bulk OF
the whale Sometimes, 1t is contend
ed. it ventures even into the jaws OF
the big mammal. 1t is one of the
paradoxes of nature that the leviathan
of the deep is utterly powerless tC
cope with the small crustacean, which,
at its largest size, when within the
shell, is about as big as chestnut. 1t
is believed that whales sometimes rub
themselves against ships in their at
tempts to rid themselves of their I'M
welcome tenants.

Deep Gratitude.

1t is related that the famous Sheri-
dan went to hairdresser's on one
occasion to order wig. The barber
was a liberal soul, and on the orator
being measured. bottle of port was
produced and so much hospitality was
shown that Sheridan's heart was
touched.
When they rose from the table and
were about to separate, Sheridan,
looking the barber full in the face,
said ION rejecting, don't intend that
you shall make my wig y
Astonished, and with blank visage,
the barber exclaimed: but, Mr.. Sheri-
dan. how can I have displeased your"
'sWhy, look you,' said Sheridan, you
are an honest fellow, and / repeat it,
you shan't make my wig, for never
intended TO pay for 1t. I'll go 20 an
other less worthy son of the craft"

A MASTERPIECES.

An eminent critic was wandering
through an art gallery, and, pointing
to canvas hung conspicuously on the
wall, he inquired of q man standing
by, what can they mean by allowing
such daub here"

was the answer.

critic.
"Why, there is not trace of art
about it!''

FISH NOT BRED FROM EGGS
Scientists Have Discovered Small
Species That Undoubtedly Bear
Their Young Alive,

The habit OF laying eggs Is so near
IL universal among fishes that prob
ably most people will be surprised,
says Science Siftings, to learn that
certain small species actually bear
their young alive. Among these is the
large family of killifshes, or Cyprino-
dontidae. In such species the young
are born In q comparatively advanced
stage OF development. When born
they closely resemble the adult fish.
All OF them are ~ enaci0us Of life.
That the bearing OF the young alive
by certain fish lie not significant Of a
higher state Of evolution, as the lay
man might naturally suppose, is
proved by the fact that 1t occurs In
many species of the sharks and their
cousins the rays, though these are
among the earliest, /. e., the most an
cient fishes that we know. This habit
OF procreation has been developed In
order to give the young fry better
chance of survival than they might
otherwise have-it is literally case
of fewer babies but better ones The
most curious OF all these fishes Is the
genus Anableps which lives In the
streams of the American tropics. This
is sometimes called the four-eyed fish,
for the reason that It's large promi-
nent eyes, which actually resemble
marbles on the top of the head, are
divided horizontally into; two parts,
the lower half being fitted for water
vision and the upper half for air
vision

providing it was baked by his mother.
TINS item in the American credo was writ
ten with the building OF the first mince pie be-
cause the heart has always been more or less
concerned with the business of proper digestion.
That is, man who feels an attachment for food
is apt to encounter reciprocal affection in his
meals.
To the ordinary standard commercial nince
pie no one writes sentimental verse and for it
no one is willing to 60 to war. The pie must
be built in the beginning by one who feels an
attachment for her task. Like the garden truck
Of the Coast Chinese, who raises his plants with
love while those about him fail. the nince pie
flourishes only when the heart of the maker
is in the making. 1t must not be an orphan
makeshift of cracker crumbs, green tomatoes
and kindred new-day filters. 1t should be con-
ceived. preferably, in the fall, in rural regions
at hog-killing time. It much be rich in lean
meat and white suet and moistened with cider.
The cooked mess should be stored in back
shed for a time until its various juices have
mingled freely with one another. Finally it
must be sculptured into a pie by sympathetic
hands.
It must be eaten on frosty morning. But
in no case must it be approached unless the
eaters heart is in the project. Preferably it
should be consumed after a series of hard chores
out of doors, and it should never be met by any
but razor-edged appetite. If these directions
are followed mince pie will lie easily in the old
frame.
However, the inquirer is correct in ques-
tioning the qualifications of a middle-aged man
already full of food and of poor digestion. Under
no circumstances should he tangle with a robust
old-fashioned hot mince pie. save after an ac-
acknowledgement that he does so at his own risk.

THE VERICT.

The apathy and ominous silence on the part
OF the average voter preceding election day
showed those with their fingers on the pulse
OF the nation that they could expect nothing
else than just what happened on Tuesday 1t
was a foregone conclusion that the party in
power was going to suffer, no matter how much
more campaigning and spell-binding the repub-
hcans could have done nor how much less the
democrats did the result would have been lust
the same. The voters were dissatisfied with the
political conditions Their judgment was that
the republican administration had not kept its
promises, no matter how hard it had tried to
do So. 1t was fortunate for the republican
party that the slump came just when it did. The
party leaders now have an opportunity to re-
deem themselves within the next two years
They now forced to take up the situation that
faces them without any loss of time. They will
have TO get great deal closer to the people 1t
will take sagacious politicians long time to
properly analyze the causes for the great dem
ocratc landslide. It cannot be attributed to any
thing the democrats have done or promised;
rather it is because of what the republicans
haven't done. The democratic party left the
republicans with distressing heritage and some
of the toughest problems imaginable have con-
fronted the republican administration and they
have made some mistakes. They have an OPP
portunity now to correct them. In the mean
time the next two years are going to be busy
years for the politicians The democrats have
been greatly heartened by the way the pendu-
lum swung back and may be trusted to work like
nailers to get things shaped up for the next

he does it.

THEY NEED A BETTER ISSUE.

The proportion of our population that wor-
ries over women who smoke has scanned the
weeks dispatches from Wellesley to learn the
fate of two young insurrectos after their threat
to connections with the seminary there because
of an abridgement of their inalienable right to
inhale cigarette smoke. Since details have
proved meagre it is assumed they have departed
or have been properly canned and that Tags no
longer constitute a solace in Wellesley life save
where circumstances provides an adjacent air
court to carry smoke away.
Wellesley is not automatically purged of a
plague by the performance and the two rebel
ious spirits do not miraculously become un-
shackled young women. The twin martyrs will
continue to be bound by thousands of other and
older conventions.
Their judgment also is faulty in that they
might have picked more important reason for
revolution. one not open to SO many objections
the ground of taste Most reviewers of their
heroic struggle have lot of difficulty visualiz-
ing the new woman arising, liberated and
cleansed, from the ashes of dead rose-tipped
cigarette. The Girls need a more important
symbol.

DAWSON TRYING TO
DISPEL HIS DIFFICULTIES

Tax Assessor Colbert, who was one
fuse to obey Tax Equalizer Dawson's
mandate to make an arbitrary raise of
Marion's taxes, has received a letter
from Mr.. Dawson, telling him that in
line with action toward other coun-
ties the demand on Marion will be re-
duced. Mr.. Dawson asks Mr.. Colbert
to go to Tallahassee, to confer with
him over the situation. It's the Stars
opinion that the legislature, with its
usual sapiency, created Mr. Dawson's
Office without any idea how he was
going to fulfill its requirements. Mr..
Dawson is probably doing the best he
can, but the Star has never yet been
able to understand how he could do
anything.
| Mr.. Colbert. Saturday received the
following additional letter from Mr..
Dawson:
Tallahassee, April 90
Mr.. W. L. Colbert, Ocala, Fla:
Dear Sir: l have just received your
letter of the 26th, and note what you
say about the tax situation generally
in your county.
/ | am disposed to cancel the order
regarding Marion county's personal
property, but l should like to ask you
to give me your views regarding the
equalization of real property in your
county when your average assessment
per acre is only S7.46. I have never
been over the county myself, but ]
have always understood that Marion
county was one of the best in the
state.
Citrus county on the south Of Mar.
ion has an average per acre of $500
Sumter county also on the south has
an average of $6.43, Lake county
1858 and Volusia $5.35. If Marion
county's realty were raised 10 pei
cent, the county would still be lower
considerably than these bordering
counties which are practically of the
same class as your county.
Like yourself, I am trying to b,
fair to all counties, but cannot rec
oncile my idea of fairness when there
is this existing difference between the
average assessment of Marion county
,, and the bordering counties of tn,
same class.
: I should like to have frank state
ment from you regarding this matter
Yours very truly,
Marion L. Dawson.
