Unlike Dickens, Thackeray did not
delight in placing among the men and
women of his novels unforgettable lit
tie portraits Of their dogs and cats,
parrots or canaries. Nor do we think
of Thackeray as having that personal
fondness for domestic creatures which
was characteristic OF Dickens, whose
own dogs no less than his favorite
raven, Grip, figure largely In his let
ters. But Thackeray's daughter, Lady
Richie, gives in her recently published
letters several delightful little glimpses
Of her own and her friends pets; and
in one brief and charming note she
even ventures to interpret a few words
from Felinese into English. She writes
to her friend, Mrs. Gerald Richie:
Solomon tthe cat) has been purring
messages. tell Peggy. He proposes to
write, but says it is superfiuous to
say how much he misses her, and that
he Is purrfectly lost without her to
stroke his back He has tried my lap,
but he doesn't much like it; he finds it
too perpendicular. and he sends his
love purr me."-Youth's Companion.

Roach, Pantry Pest,
Is NotiUe Of India

Sir Francis Drake, buccaneer OF
three hundred years ago, once took as
a prize a Spanish ship loaded with
spices from India. 1t is recorded that
on that ship was a strange BLACK
bugge" which the Spanish called Gu
carache, which strictly speaking, meant
wood louise" This cucarache became
the modern cockroach.
It was a native Of India, never until
that time seen In Europe. These cock
reaches, however, were sturdy fellows,
given to living in dark and narrow
places. and therefore happy in the
holds Of ships that piled the seas.
Thus these argosies Of commerce have
served as a means of broadcasting the
cockroach, and it is found in abund-
ance wherever man dwells. His bones
have provided suitable breeding and
dwelling places for these children of
the warm countries.
New species, one in America and
one in Australia, were found and dis
tributed. SO have world-girdling multi
tudes Of them appeared where before
there were none at all or but local
tribes. This increase In the range and
numbers Of the cockroach is typical Of
the man influence In the insect world.

REV. w. A. JONES FILES BILL

Pittsburgh, Pa, May 27-Rev. w.
Augustus Jones, pastor Of Central
Baptist Church, who recently created
considerable comment and wonder
ment when he told newspapermen
that the conduct Of his wife, Mrs.
Edna Jones, was intolerable and that
he contemplated divorce, brought d.
vorce action in the Allegheny County
court here Wednesday when he filed
particulars in which he charged his
wife with misconduct with other men,
some Of them being ministers. 1t will
be recalled that last winter in the
press reports a certain minister who
was designated as Irene" caused
many to wonder who Irene" is. 1t
is said that Irene" will be made pub

Famous Delhi Gardens

The Kudsia Bagh or the Kudsia gar

laid out in 174S by Qucki Bengam, the
mother Of Ahmed Shah, emperor OF
Delhi.
They have been well looked after,

In the center OF the gardens, how
ever, there is an old gateway. Now

remains. To the southeast of this

Colors Haze Varying
Effect on Surfaces

Considering the large influence col
ors exert upon us and the fact that
we cannot afford to redecorate every
few days If we do not care for color
scene, certain facts about colors
should be well considered before any
paint is purchased On this subject
an authority has said:
Color materially affects the ap-
pearance Of surfaces, according to the
speed at which the light rays travel
reflective ability, that il. Red is an
aggressive color, Irritating to some.
Blue. a receding color, Is soothing. A
dull red does not bring a surface, ap-
parently, as near the eve as a bril-
liant red. Green is considered a static
color, while gray, as well as green,
unless Influenced either by yellow or
blue. retains the apparent position.
Yellow appears TO enlarge the size OF
an object or surface without changing
its position. For this reason orange
can make a surface appear smaller,
depending upon the amount OF red II
contains. or larger If the yellow pre-
dominates. Violet can be either ag-
gressive or receding, depending upon
the amount Of red or blue 1t contains.
Light violet. like gray. Is static unless
1t leans more to the red"

The Boston Transcript credits the
following to a Texas newspaper:
''Milt SHINES had a narrow escape
yesterday. While working on his wa
ter tank his hollis slipped and he fell
In. All he had to get out by was a
rope, and with overshoes and overcoat
it was hard climbing. He worked til
he almost give out and in desperation
stopped. but failed to let loose the
rope, In a very short time his hands
froze to the rope which gave him
corking idea, he would reach as high
on the rope as he could, hold a time
til his hand would freeze to the rope,
then blow his breath on the lower hand
til 1t turned loose then reach again,

Indian Always Ready
for Game OF Chance

All Indians Of both sexes are in
veterate gamblers They have been
known to gamble away everything they
owned, including their wives and their
lives, which Is raising the white mans
ante to a considerable degree. AS a
rule, Indian dice have but two sides
that are marked. These markings are
of a thousand and one different de-
signs and coIors. The dice are cast
either from the hand, a cup, bowl or
basket. Many Of the dice are thrown
on stones, either held I'm the hand
or on the ground. The object Of
this is TO make the dice bound over
and over. thus insuring a fair cast
The Indian, even as does the white
man and the African enthusiast,
speaks endearingly to his gaming inn
plements, beseeching the Great Twin
Brethren, the Spider Woman or who
ever happens to be the deity presid-
ing over that particular game OF
chance to cause Lady Luck" to hover
IN his or her vicinity. Some Of the
younger generation living on the Mesa
Grande reservation coin their own
phrases, decidedly modern and the
elder men and women chanting gam
ing songs SO old that even the most
ancient Of the tribe had forgotten the
meaning Of the words.

Tribute to a Painter

by an American who bred horses.
When Millais had finished the Ameri-
cans portrait, he was allowed to see
it for the first time. There was long
silence while he gazed at the picture
so long. indeed, that the painter got
anxious. AT last the man said, II

REcITE GRUE-
SOME TALES OF BLACK
JACK" FLoGGINGS ON FLOR
IDA PRISON FARMS
preston News Service)

Pensacola, Fla, May 27-Another
revolving scandal involving tales Of
peonage, "farming-out" Of prisoners to
labor concerns in swampy timber
tracts, fogging Of exhausted victims
and coercion to silence accusing Wit
nesses has developed in Florida.
At the trial It was testified that the
white land owners and timber oper-
atives forced certain Negroes at the
point Of revolvers to severely fog
other Negroes with sticks of black
jacks and cat-o-nine tails. It is said
that the victims were compelled to
lie down on the road On their
stomachs after being stripped Of their
clothing and take from five to ten
minutes beatings from the enforced
whip" weilder.
Dewitt Stoner, a prisoner, testified
that he was forced, at the point Of
guns in the hands of the white de-
PENDANTS, to beat FIVE Negroes, one
at time, with a large stick. Stoner
said that he was not whipped. He
said the white men looked on as he
whipped the naked men. Stoner said
he was compelled to whip each one
about ten minutes. He told the court
that the blows caused decorations on
the backs of the beaten men. Moth
ing was done to stop the flowing
blood Of the victims. They we're
taken back to the prison farm and
put TO work, i'll fed and half sick.
It is said that the victims had at
tempted to escape from the prison
tarm, travelling by night and hiding
in the day time.
