crop-but he has wife and four or five
small children, and he must have COW
to help him live during the year. The
thrifty farmer, with some misgivings,
lets him have one, with his promise that
in the fall he will pay him out of his
wages or crop The time arrives; the
poor man settles up, and his wages and
crop have been expended in living, and
nothing left to pay for the COW. lie
decides to move somewhere else. The
thrifty farmer wants his COW. The poor
man says "the lao gives me a COW, and |
can't spare it," The thrifty farmer
submits to the fraud, but catch him, if
you can, next time.
4 Again: The well to do free and easy
man hires the poor man to work for him
for 5 months. He works his time out,
ond demands his wages. The free and
easy man says 81 have no money now,
but will pay YOU" The poor man
can't live on promises. He appeals TO
the law for help, but the free and easy
man says, 81 am allowed homestead of
$1,000, and $500 Of personal property, |
have not got as much as the law allows
me. Help yourself us best you can.-
1t is needless to ask that poor man to
work 8 months again.
Is it any wonder confidence is lost
amongst all classes of people, when the
law educates them to be rascals? How
was it before 1860? Every poor man
had his capital, if only Il pot, skillet,
or frying pan, worth 80 cents. That
was his capital. If he made debt of
so cents, he knew the law compelled
him to pay it. The free and easy man
had his land and houses, his horses,
cattle, hogs and grain, $500 worth, and
when he made debt, he knew his prop
erty was bound by law to pay it, and
every man well educated by law to be
an honest man. No way to cover up
deception, cheat and fraud. just as sure
as the sun rose and set, if the man
lived his debt was paid. The law cdu-
Gated men to be honest.
Whenever you get back to the days of
honesty, hard times and high taxes will
not be heard of. You must change your
statutes and enact honest laws, that will
protect honest men, no matter whether
he is poor or rich. Oh carry me back
to the happy days Of 1850.

Mr.. Turner found out that his solci-

The Post adds that Mr. Turner was

finger Of the right hand was similarly
wounded. Perhaps the robber tore the
ring of with his teeth, but finger nails
would have caused the wounds. The
only other wounds was on the nose, the
skin of which had been rubbed off in a
place on the left side as big as tack
head. The neck was badly discolored
but not bruised.
When Mrs. IIull's body was found,
the face was wet, and the pillows and

Mrs. Hull was married when she was
sixteen years of age, and two years later
she and the doctor journeyed to Europe.
They settled in London, where the doc
tor established himself and remained,
practicing his profession, ten years.

ful woman at this time, and was wealthy
and fond of society. She was present
at the court of Queen Victoria. She
became very stout after her return to
America, and at the time Of her death
weighed three hundred pounds.
DR.. Hull knew nothing of the affairs
