Thatis if you happen to bo a "movio" star. A short whilo a'o Mte.i Ilhodes was playing in a spectacular picture which ldwin August was putting on as :i Powers' production, out west. "Wo are Koins" to tie you by tho hair," said realistic August, "to this tree limb. And you ar tfoins to be droned over the ground." "liy the hair?" whispered Miss Hhodes i n an almost inaudible voic. 'Uy the hair," answered Kdwin A. There is nothing to do but do in the "movies." if you want to make Rood, so Mis Rhodes rittd her teeth and lorn-ened her hair. To make, it possible to carry out tho realistic picture and still nut Injure Ml? Iihodes, strands of rope, the Kamo color as her hair, were bound around her head and woven into th locks. This was eo that the fore of tho dra string should come, not on tho roots of the hair, but upon the rope around her head. The plan, adroitly worked out, proved successful. So did tho picture.

Lucius huiu;aki). Judffe Hubbard took his first money -." cents for an afternoon spent in dropping corn for a neighbor and bought shot and powder for an old muzzle-loading shotgun with a bore like tho Hoosac tunnel, and which responded to the hammer only about onco in five lines, the fifth, time, however, makin? up for its delinquency by kicking like a Missouri mule, only -wusser, and devastating the entire territory in front of It. "There was a pond down back of our houae out on Terre Coupee," the judge related, "and whenever I could get hold of any ammunition, which wa.s miKhty scarce because father generally didn't have any, and I had to earn the money to buy it with, I dragged tho old gun down to the pond to shoot wood-duck that came in frequently." Then he went on to tell how he squatted down behind it clump of willows waiting for the ducks to come into an open space, and how. in order t economize on his ammunition ho always waited until two ducks got in line so that he could bang them both with one shot. Thanks to modern improvements in warfare -f thi kind we do not have to be so careful with our powder. At least a good many of us are not. omo time ago I set out after ducks at Fish lake with a row-boat, an oarsman, a. guide, Cy Goff's dog Trailer and a dozen shells. Three hours later I returned minus the twelve shell but with one mud-hen to show for them. Mosquitoes CJot Husy. But to return to the judge. It frequently happened that when, after much arduous waiting, two ducks did get In line, the gun failed to go off, and then ensued another tiresome wait for tho next brace. In the meantime, the mosquitoes joined him for companionship's sake and business reasons, and taking advantage of the fact that he didn't dare move lest he scare the ducks, they lunched frequent and hearty on his person. You who have spent a slappy half hour on tho shore of some small lake at dusk where nine-tenths of the air is charged with mosquitoes and the other tenth with profanity, will have some Idea of the judge' persistence in sticking it out waiting for those tardy "two ducks" to get in line. Certain breeds of mosquitoes laugh in derision at Pennyroyal and other ru-ssy preparations, and mosquito bar U a nuisance. A good coat of tan Is about tho best protection against their attacks, although even this is of no avail against the vicious sma'.l lake mosquito. These latter ere endowed with a ilinty beak designed after the manner of a post hole augur; they stick it in a vulnerable spot and give a half turn so it won't come out, brace their hind legs, draw in a deep breath and get down to the business of life. There is no discouraging them. Judge Hubbard also spoke of hunting for gray and black squirrels when a boy. I had not heard of the latter and asked about them. He explained that they were said to be the same species as tho gray, being found in the same n.st. At present they are r. e u rly extinct. Off For norida. Judgo Hubbard will soon leave for his annual trip to Florida where he spends much of his time fishing in the inland lakes. "I use artificial baits, mostly." he said, "although I believe
lle minnows are the best because the
rials of the Cooks' and Waiters j lh are sluggish in the winter even in
union will take to win their strike at th Statlcr, Hollendon and Colonial hotels. The three hotels entered the third day of the strike still crippled in waiters and cooks forces. Trouble was expected ;it the Hollenden and Statler when :o striking waiters arrivfd from the ra.t.

Fish down there are more plentiful because the lakes are net fished out like some are up here. Alligators and frar-plke. however, he believed, greatly reduced the number of fish.

Silver cannon balls are being used by the rebels in southern Chihuahua, according' to reports iUonr the border. The constitutionalist forces are so short of ammunition that they have been compelled to use the output of the silver mines for material with which to light the federals. A number of mines near Parral have been seized.
And Tubby Would'th Bring
Any Fleas Indoors Either
I1Y HI SIHLKY. Tubby is a pup. A wistful, fuzzy, spraddly yaller pup. mostly legs atid ears and suppressed wiggle, a tijjht blue ribbon tied under his saucy chin and a ludicrous kink in his stubby tall. One of his large, expressive eyes Is cocked up in the direction of the dog star, while the other is contemplating a red-and-yellow train directly ahead. Such ocular gymnastics might seem Impossible for an ordinary dog, but Tubby Is not an ordinary dog his highly strabismic vision enubles him to see two different objects some distance apart at the samo time. In spite of his comprehensive gaze, however, Tubby is oblivious to all about him. lie is concerned onl.v with what is going on in his 'head and perhaps on his back. Sometimes I think he "rears an expectant expression, as though he were about to receive a bone or was expecting a flea to nab him any minute. Other times he has an inscrutable expression like ?.Tona I4isa. I'd give a good deal to know what Tubby is thinking about, but so far I haven't been able to fathom the significance
of his expression. Kvery time I paa Wheelock's window I pause to try to solve the problem. Ihit I haven't Veen able t. shed any light on tho subject yet. Tubby has come from far off Germany, and perhaps he doesn't understand English. No doubt this wistful little canine is Just ncning io romp and play with someone, but not being able to make his wants known he is sensitive about it and remains to himself. It must be hard on Tubhv. As for Tubby's breed, he looks like a cros between a whiskbroom and an Airedale, with a trace of giraffe and cinnamon bear. But he would
make tho best kind of a house dog. j One glance, from his basilistic eye J would f caro a burglar out of ten i years' growth. Fes!des. Tubby j could be trusted not to break up ' housekeeping' he would stiy where j fie was put, never chew up the cur- i tains, stick for the pommeling from the children without showing a tooth, j never whine at night or growl at ' meal time, and genernllv behave as 1
the. ideal dosr should behave. I'm strong for Tubby.
THINK CARABA0 MEM WERE JUST EXUBERANT WASHINGTON. Doc. IS. Officers of the army and navy who participated in the wallow of the military order of the Carabao here on Thursday night will be reprimanded for ridiculing the secretary of state and the peace policy of the administration. Secy, of the Navy Daniels and Sccv of War Garrison Thursday drew up a formal report to be given to the pees dent, recommending that the military officers be reprimanded. It Is understood that no court martials are to be ordered. The military order of the Carabao probably will be discontinued, however, but this will be left to the discretion of the president. Doth Secy. Garrison and Secy. Daniels are of the opinion that the representation of the battle "Piffle" and the singing of the "Damn, Damn. Damn the Insurrectos" song were merely outbursts of exuberant spirit?.-

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. IS. While Mr. and Mrs. Rat (spell it with one "t") and all. the little rats ar? carrying on their habitual depredations
throughout Indiana a sizzling controI versy is waging over who shall have
the credit for the instigation of legislation passed by the last Indiana legislature for their extermination. Down at Paoli. State Sen. Oscar Ratts (spell it with two "fs" widely known as the "father" of the antirat bill, while not claiming absolute responsibility for the inauguration of "rat" legislation, is combatting the efforts of a contributor to the Technical World magazine to throw all the credit to a "certain man" residing down near Princeton for the enactment of the anti-rat lavr. Sen. liatts claims that a banker at Paoli named John T. Stout, who also car
ries the title of "agriculturist," was the first Hoosier with the necessary courage to raise his voice against the pesky rodent, and requested him (Ratts) to push a measure through the general assembly for a formal declaration of war against the entire rat tribe in Indiana. Sen. Ratts further declares that he wrote every word of the rat law, excepting the amendment adde'l by the house r f representatives which provides for a "rat day." which he credits to .L Roy Strickland of Owensville. Gibson county. "Ridiculously childish." is the wireless flash that sputtered back from Princeton from J. Ro.y Strickland, self-confessed "father" of anti-
rat movement In Gibson county. The temperature adjacent to Strickland's collar was reported to bo abnormally high. "All I ask is credit for originating the rat crusade in Indiana and 'for being its chief publicity agent," remonstrated Strickland in pitched voice. "In the fall of 1909 I succeeded in getting Sen. Stevens of Gibson county to introduce a bill calling for a bounty on rats. "While the bill slumbered in committee pigeonhole 1 kept tip a campaign of education by writing, showing that rats were civilization's greatest enemy, et cetera. "Where was Sen. Ratts when the anti-rat bill was the butt of cruel jests? "liatts didn't emerge from obscurity until my campaign of education concerning the rat depredations had sobered people into giving the problem serious consideration." Strickland accuses Ratts of being envious or jealous. Strickland calls attention to the fact that Gibson county has had its
annual rat day for tho past five years. Gov. Ralston has not yet exercised hi executive prerogative of issuing a proclamation for a state-wide "rat day." A long-cherished friendship between Ratts and Strickland has been rent asunder by tho rat imbroglio, friends of each have arrayed themselves, and the Indiana supreme court may be called upon to decide the constitutionality of the constitutionality of the rat bill because, Its provisions are cloudy a.s regards Its application to muskrats.
