LET WEEDS GROW
City Officers are Notifying
Citizens of Fact and Ap-
peal for Co-Operation
' "Ilavo you made any arrests yet, of
people who refuse to cut their weeds,"
was a question put to M. M. Barnes,
who Is deputized for the job of Beeing
that the weeds of tile city fall to the
sickle of the owner of the property
they ehose to deface.
"No, I havn't made any yet, but there
ure sure i;oing to be some, if some peo-
ple don't get a little • |>« d on," i id
Harnes.
P.nrneB, and the re i of the organisa-
tion n the city for the el true ti on of
weeds, is working under u perfectly
good city ordinance that provides a
fine of from one to twenty dollars for
"any person, persons, firm or corpora-
tion violating any of the provisions of
the ordinance."
And the ordinance declares that
weeds are a pubKc. nuisance, and that
it is the duty of the owner of a piece
of property to keep that property and
adjoining alleys free from weeds, it
s;iys that i-; i; necessary 4'tor the
«u rvation of the public peace, health
and safety" of the city.
A special effort is being made at
this t me to clean up the city. Many
of the people are doing their best and
the city is alreadv putting on a new
appearance. At the same time there
are citizens who are not doing what
they should, says. Mr. Barnes.

Easy.
A distinguished London clergyman
has two maids, iHHfi named Kate. One
In a Cockney, the other a S« « t. The j
difficulty of distinguishing* the two is I

one Kite and the other Kate. No
confusion ever arises.—London Post.
Question for Astronomers.
One bright moonlight night my lit-

NATURE FOND OF FREAKS
Good Old Dame Seems to Take Pride
in Perpetuating Physical Oddi-
ties in Mankind.
Oeca tonally it happens that n boy
or girl Is born With webbed feet—
that is to say, with toes united by
fleshy tlt^ues It Is u phenomenon
called "syndactyly."
This eccentricity is npt to be hand-
ed down from generation to genera-
tion in a family, appearing In some of
Its members, but not in others.
The Magazine of Heredity de-
scribes one such ense, In a branch of
nn old New England family. The pa
temnl grandfather was web-footed
and bequeathed his peculiar toes to
a sun, wiio passed them along to three
of his six children.
If those people were to Intermarry
f«>i tin- or four generations with an
other web-fooi. 1 family, all the .chil-
dren born would exhibit the peculiar-
ity. For nature, curiously enough,
seems always willing to perpetuate
freaks of any kind.
What we call fn a'.', or "sports,"
In the animal or the vegetable world
are nature* little experiments. It is
by flii means that she creates new
species nnd varieties. Some anthro-
pologists are of opinion that all hu-
man beings were originally black and
that the lirst white man was a sport.
It mlgbt be said that many white
people tosi-.y respond to that descrip-
tion, though not In tlio same sense.—
Philadelphia Ledger.

WRITER MUST HAVE STYLE
Without It, Declares Arnold Bennett,
He Will Be Unable to Get His
Message Understood.
You cannot have good matter with
had style. Examine the point more
closely, a man wishes to convey n
fine* idea to you. He employs a form
of wor<K That form'of words is his
style. Having read, you say: "Yes,
tills Idea is fine." The writer has
therefore achieved his end. But In
what Imaginable circumstances can
you say. "Yes, this idea is tine, but
the style is not fine?" The sole me-
dium of communication between you
and the author has been the form of
words. The line Idea lias reached you.
How? In the words, by the words.
11 en cp the fineness ' must be In the
won: Y«m may say, superiority: "He
has expressed himself clumsily, but
I can ■ ' what lie means." By what
light? By something in the words,
in the style. That something Is fine.
Moreover, if the style Is clumsy, are
you sure that you can see what he
means? You cannot be quite sure.
And at any rate, you cannot see dis-
tinctly. The "matter" is what actually
reaches you, nnd it must necessarily be
affcyted by the style.—Arnold Bennett.

Rents High in Stone Age.
Southern California had apartment
profiteers hack In tho fourteenth and
fifteenth centuries, according to
scientific correspondent whose Inves-
tigation of tho stone age dwellings,
hewn out of solid rock, has convinced
M him that keeping up an apartment
" never was a snap. At the entrance
|j to one six-apartment cavern he*found
gi hieroglyphics, which he has deciph-
I ered to mean the rates for apart-
™ nients as follows:
One abalone, one sun.
gj: Two nbnlenes, two suns.
Three abalones, three suns.
Twelvo-iihalonos, one moon,
ffl Our correspondent figures that the
B home hunters among the Plmugna
I Indians had to pay at the rate of one
llfalone a sleep, or day, or 1- abalones
®| per lunar month. The cave was the
largest on the island and comprised
the apartment house de luxe of that
period. A short distance below tho
entrance to the stone apartment house
the professor found a huge pile of
empty abalone shells, proving that the
landlord did a more or less rushing
business.

Milady Smoked Long Ago.
Smoking among women started
when Sir Walter Kale '^offered the

"Fossil Raindrops."
In slabs of Trlasslc rock little de-
pressions are often seen that have
been called "fossil raindrops," the Idea
being that they were formed by show-
ers 011 muddy sea beaches, and pre-
served by being covered with u layer
of mud at the next high tide.
But lately St has been suggested, In
view of observations on a tlood plain
In tiie Dorn valley, that the supposed
impressions of rain drops may really
be due to pittlngs formed by bubbles
in a film of mud at the bottom of shal-
low water. There have been watchftd
the formation of many pittlngs, and
It has been found that after the mud
has dried they exactly resemble "fos-
sil raindrops."
Has Had Ten Capitals.
North Carolina has had at least ten
capitals, including Bath, Edenton,
Brunswick, Wilmington, Newberry,
Ilillsboro, Smithfleld, Fayette and
Raleigh. The reason for so many ldy
in the custom prior to 1701 of trans-
ferring the seat of government to the
place of residence of the governor or
the temporary meeting place of the
assembly.
In 1791 one square mile of land
was purchased f&r the foundation of
Raleigh as the permanent seat of gov-
ernment. At present the city covers
four square miles.
