The farmers are busy'cutting their

his chest, judging from a perform-
ance on the steps of the Capitol the
other day. The Chicago Tribune man
happened to catch it and put it on the
wire. According to this account bonus
marchers surrounded the Senator to
announce, “We’re from Illinois'and we
voted for you,” and to demand that
he support the bonus. The dapper
Jim Ham replied:
“That is very pleasant indeed, or,
rather, it was, until you came here
to hippodrome a serious question. You
want to intimidate or seduce the weak
members of Congress. Why, gentle-
men, you’re losing your own ground.
A courageous man, even if he agreed
with you, would vote against you ra-
ther than be intimidated by threats,
without a hearing on the proposition.
“It is an isnult to the great State
of Illinois for you to come here and
by numbers threaten the Senate to
vote without investigation.”
There were shouts and cries, which
the Senator parried with good humor
until at last somebody roared, “Hey,
we’re from Illinois and do you know
where you can go?” The beard that
used to be pink bristled and the well-
clad form stiffened and straightened
as Jim Ham replied, “Gentlemen, you
can go to hell; I am going to the
Senate.” And into the Senate he
went.

Wealthy Contractor File* Suit
for $25,000.
Washington.—The matrimonial hap-
piness of George W. Moore, wealthy
retired contractor, was svreeked by his
sister-in-law, he charged in a suit filed
in District Supreme court recently,
seeking $25,000 alleged alienation of
his wife’s affections.
Mrs. Hazel Jason Littleton of Chevy
Chase Gardens, Md., sister of Moore’s
wife, is named as defendant.
The plaintiff describes himself as a
man “past middle life” and of con-
siderable income.
On May 19, 1930, he relates, he mar-
ried Honilene Jason Davidson.
Among his belongings, says Moore’s
petition, are:
“A commodious residence at 436
York avenue. N. W., which ha3 been
his family home since youth, together
with a resort cottage at Colonial
Beach, Va„ where it was his habit
formerly as well as after marriage to
spend his leisure time.”
Mrs. Littleton, he charged, urged
her sister to seek a resort home more
favorably located.
For this purpose, the husband con-
tinues. he made available the sum of
$12,000.
This was the result, according to his
petition:
“The defendant, contriving to injure
the plaintiff and disrupt amicable re-
lations between the pi a intiff's wife and
himself and exercising a kind of su-
zuerainty over her. persuaded her to
select a residence out of all propor- ;
tion to requirements of the plaintiff. 1
his family or their friends.”
Mrs. Littleton, he charges, continued j
to “mold his wife to her will.”
On October 11, 1930. he said, while |
he was absent from home, his wife’s j
sister persuaded her to leave him and ;
go to her home in Chevy Chase. j
Got Sullivans Mixed
When Sir Arthur Sullivan, the fa-
mous English composer, was touring
America years ago, it was difficult to
persuade some people that he was not
the great John L. Sullivan, the cham-
pion prize fighter and then the idol of
America. At one station in Kansas
the whole county turned out when
news came that “Sullivan”’ was on a
certain train. The great composer re-
ceived there an ovation such as he had
seldom had. Said the mayor to him:
“You’re littler than we thought, but
I guess you can lick all creation."—
Exchange,
Ventriloquism Old
Traces of the art of ventriloquism
are found in Egyptian and Hebrew
archeology. Eurycles of Athens was
the most celebrated of Greek ventril-
oquists. It is not improbable that the
prlest3 of ancient times were masters
of this art and that to it may be
ascribed such miracles as the speak-
ing statues of the Egyptians, the Greek
oracles and the stone In the River
Pactolus, the sound of which put rob-
bers to flight.

(San Saba Star)
Dr. L. Lewis, veterinarian Commis-
sioner, was called here this week to
inspect some cattle that were suffer-
ing’ from a strange malady. The cat-
tle seem to be drunk on some kind of
weed and the veterinarian diagnosed
the case as being caused from eating
“sneeze weed” while in bloom. The
cattle stagger, fall down and remain
in a stupor, and after once eating the
weeds seem to crave more. The only
cure seems to be to take the .cattle
toward the uplands and away from
the fascinating weed. The recent
overflow of the river beds are charg-
ed as the cause of the weed and the
strange disease, as this is the first
time that the cattle have ever been
affected in this manner. It is claim-
ed that stock will eventually die if
kept under the influence of, this nar-
cotic for any length of time.

Training Wild Animals
Many of the trained lions seen In
circuses and also those in menageries
have been raised in captivity, in such
places as Hagenbeck’s near Hamburg,
Germany, or the Charles Gay lion farm

Daughter Say* Mother
Stole Her Boy Friend
Newark, N. J.—Mrs. Pauline John-
son, wealthy, socially prominent and
maturely beautiful, yearned for youth-
ful love; so she took her daughter
Evelyn’s boy friend to join her in sun-
baths in the Catskills.
“I have a very warm nature,” she
explained-to Advisory Master in Chan-
cery Francis Childs while defending
Charles J. Johnson’s suit for divorce.
“Charles doesn’t love me.”
Young Bob Fridkin. orchestra lead-
er, who, Johnson charged, shared the
sunbaths and breakfasts, was not in
court.
Bus boys employed by a Catskitl i
! mountain hotel, however, testified that
on fifteen occasions they had served
Mrs. Johnson and Fridkin in the for-
mer’s room, before they had dressed.
Other employees told of startling sun
baths which the two took on the Cats-
kill hillsides.
Johnson testified that he had given
his wife everything she wanted, a
home in Lakewood. N. J., for the win-
ter, and summer in the Catskills, eight
fur coats, a $5,500 automobile, $300 a
month pin money—and still she wasn’t
satisfied.
“How can I love her?” he asked.
“When she stays out until one or two
o’clock in the morning, refusing to tell
where she has been.”
Perhaps the most pathetic figure In
the case was Evelyn, whose boy friend
her mother is said to have sunbathed
with.
“It’s all a mistake,” she said in
court. “Bob is my friend. He came
to the hotel to see me. At least, I
thought so.”
Thought in th« Out-of-Door*
If any imagine they shall find
thought in many books, certainly they
will be disappointed. Thought dwells i
by the stream and sea, by the hill
and in the woodland, in the sunlight
and free wind, where the wild dove
haunts.—It. Jefferies in “Pigeons at
the British Museum.”
In Their Own Sphere
Men are what their mothers made
them. You may as well ask a loom
that weaves huckabuck why it does
not make cashmere as to expect po-
etry from this engineer or a chemi-
cal discovery from that jobber.—
Emerson.
Advertisements as a Guide
The advertisements in a newspaper
are more full of knowledge in respect
to what is going on in a state or com-
munity than the editorial columns are.
Henry Ward Beecher in “Proverbs
From Plymouth Pulpit.”
Two Longevity Recipes
There are several good recipes for
| longevity, but two tried and true ones
