CATLESS WORLD IX 1920. V Campaign Started Against Tabby by ] North Dakota Farmer. With the slogan "Song birds forever and a catless world in 1920,": says Devils Lake (N. D.) dispatch,1 R. Sayre, one of the largest individ- j ual farm owners in North Dakota, t has arrived from Chicago to look after his interests, which surround, Devils Lake. Sayre's campaign against tabby i has advanced so far that he is offer-; inv nriioc tn nprsnns killiner the most i ***0 f w cats. * In a leaflet issued by this enemy .U of the cat the household pet is pic* tured as the most vicious, diseasecarrying, germ-ridden animal in the * world. John Archdale, Colonial Governor. * John Archdale was commissioned governor of both North and South Carolina August 31,^1694. He appears to have been a vain, amiable, quick-tempered man of some cleverness, but without much political sagacity or ability. Much has been said of his piety and there is no reason to doubt its earnestness though Randolph does accuse him of dishonest policies as governor. But whatever other principles of Quakerism he may have adopted, humility was not one of them, and a barony of 48,000 acres, which accompanied the title of land*l grave, was too much to forego because of scruples as to worldly titles. * So he accepted both as well also as the title of governor, although y the latter did not require that he shoftld be addressed as "his honor/' He was empowered to constitute a s' V. . deputy in both South and North Carolina to serve while he was in the p province, and also upon his deparwu, tare to England from Carolina. W^L He was given power and authority with the advice and consent of three W^B of the deputies of the proprietors, to grant and sell lands, reserving a ' rent of 12 pence for each 100 acres per annum, and to settle the quit |B rents by patents or indenture in such BM . manner as he and three deputies might think fit, receiving such commodities as the country afforded for the rent at a true value, i It was nearly a year before Gov. Archdale reached Carolina, coming by the way of Virginia, from which place, although already clothed with discretionary authority, he wrote requesting specific power to appoint new deputies to the proprietors to abate the quit rents in arrears and to sell land. The power was granted _Ahim and where he needed guidance , ;he was referred to the instructions sent to Ludwell. He was given authority to settle all -disputes concerning lands, to sell at C 20 pounds per 1,000 acres the lands near the settlement and 10 pounds . :* v.--? - . : > per 1,000 -in the interior, to take care of the Indians as he thought fit, to build new towns and to fortify Charles Town and grant it a charter. He was also to settle the government ! permanently by examining the funda; mental constitution, finding what L ' would be acceptable to the people K " and proposing a new set to the proprietors for their confirmation. The price of. land was greatly reduced 1 from $1 per acre, and lands near the settlement were offered at from 50 cents to 40 cents an acre and those { , * in the interior at from 25 cents to 20 cents. Gov. Archdale entered upon, his government at Charles Town August . 17, 1695. He prided himself no little upon the moderation and judg. mont with whirh hft ftYfiP.llted his power. He spent the first months endeavoring to allay the heats of the people and selecting his council. Archdale prided himself greatly f upon his management of Indian affairs and upon the humanity with which he treated the Indians, and his administration has been commended particularly on this account. And yet the Indians had been punished by whipping and mutilation for stealing boats, for which the white man was only fined, and among the enactments of this mild administration in regard to this poor people was one requiring "every Indian man capable of killing deers" before November 25 f in every year to bring to such person as the governor should appoint , to receive the same, "one wolf skin, one tiger skin, or one bear skin or two cat skins," and if any one did ^ not do so, the cacique or chief of his nation was required to bring him to Charles Town before December -5, there to be severely wliippe l on his bare back in the sight of the inhabitants of the town, which whipping, the act says, should be in the place of that skin which the Indian ought $ to have given to the receiver. ? l-? -v ? \ ill one respect, ii^?cvci, ^vauuaici moderated the restriction against tlie # Indians. Sothell had forbidden under severe penalties, lire arms and I rum to be given them. Arehdale allowed them a pound o* powder and 30 bullets for destructive beast they killed beyond the yearly tax. So Arehdale has the honor of the first act of which we have a record reguk / lating the sale of liquor in Carolina, this act prohibiting the sale, except by license from the governor, oF any beer, cider, wine, brandy, rum, punch or any strong drink whatsoever, under the quantity of one gallon at one draught. He put in force all the laws of England, both statute and common, concerning the abuses and disorders of taverns. A beneficent measure of Archdale's administration was the inauguration of provision for the poor. Commissioners were appointed to receive ' '? 3 ~:ti. COniriDUUOIlS anu gllib U1 tuainj and though to a very small extent, to draw from the public treasury for the support of the indigent. Archdale, yielding to the opinions of the people, left the Indian trade and the conditions of the Huguenots as he found them, but advised with regard to the latter, the plan which was afterwards adopted.. He seemed ; to be afraid that he would do too much, and leaving many things undone which required attention, he hastened from the colony, appoint- 1 ing under the power of his commission, his friend, Joseph Blake, deputv governor. Upon Archdale's departure the commission were profuse in their ac- j '< knowledgment of their appreciation i of his services. Through Jonathan j 1 Amory, their speaker, they made an j "humble address and recognition of: ' i thanks" to the lords proprietors for j * their gracious condescension in send-: ; ing him with such large and ample | 1 powers, for the remission of some j arrears of rents, and for the unde-! niable manifestation of their honors' | parental care, auu tu mtuuaic mm-1 self for the prudent, industrious and j1 indefatigable care and management j of the powers entrusted to him. The; acts of grace he so reasonably con-j descended to grant and removed all j doubts, jealousies and discouragements of the people and had laid a ' sure foundation on which might be j erected a most glorious superstruc- [ ture, etc. These were but empty words. The radical differences be- , tween the proprietors and the colonists were not removed and were soon j to break out afresh. Archdale, how-! ' i ever, having arranged matters to his, own satisfaction, received the address i with great complacency and promised to present it to the proprietors on his arrival in England.?Mrs. N. M.

At a recent banquet they were invited to speak, but all with one accord began to make excuses, and one of the men was asked to present them, relates the New York Post. He accepted, saying that he was willing to act, so far as in-him lay, but that his case was similar to that of a naughty little girl who was told that if she didn't behave she would be . shut dp in the chicken coop. "You can shut me up in the chicken coop if you want to," replied she, "but I ain't going to lay any eggs." \ Prince Alb show you 1 road to sm< ? Copyright 1918 by R.J.

K. J. t V~ = GREAT MEN AND THEIR HAIR. I I i Dark Brown and Black Prevailing Color Among Geniuses. History shows that few great | geniuses had red hair. Alone among . the poets of the world was Swin- f burne, whose hair was distinctly red- j dish, and among the great reformers | only John Bunyan's hair was really red. The flaxen-haired blonde, or the man whose hair when an adult is- a true yellow, also remains marked apart as being unlikely to possess genius. Should one such be, his only companion will be Thackeray, whose hair is described as yellow. Charles Kassel has carefully reviewed the biographies of most of the eminent people of the world, and has tabulated the results of his work so far:' as the color of the hair is concerned. Dark brown to black is the prevailing hue on the heads of the great men. A list of fifty names has been compiled, in which the color of the i hair is given by biographers, and 90 per cent, are dark brown or black.1 ? There is not, strange to say, a single mention of premature grayness, nor a single case of that ashen brown hair known as "singed" or "mouse color." The structure of the hair?whether! straight or curly?is given in twenty- j six of Mr. Kassel's list of geniuses,! and of these air but four possessed: curly or wavy hair. It is extremely notable that of the remaining:* four I Napoleon and President Jackson were the two remarkable for "wiry hair," and that James Russell Lowell and' Grrieg were those having lank straight! hair. The poet's "ringlets" and the musician's shock of hair are by this list seen not to be mere accidents, but in some strange way are co-ordinated to their powers, and the gen-! sral popular instinct is not at fault.? j Philadelphia Evening Ledger. . j Hummingbirds suck the nectar j from flowers as do bees.
