Beware of Cutting Up the Character of

Keep clear of personalities in general

themselves with personalities. Person

cause we have to learn and find out

where there is no need to express an
opinion, let poor Bouncer swagger
away. Others will take his measure,
no doubt, and save you the trouble of
Analysing him and instructlng them.
And as far as possible dwell on the

nily boards where a constant process
OF depreciating, assigning motives, and
cutting up character goes forward.

A SERIOUS TASK.
The Caution to Be Gxerted In Judging the
Qualities of Fellow-Men.

Qualities of Fellow-Men.
In some cases we see the best side of
fellow-man in our ordinary inter
course with him; in other cases, we see
the worst side. Some men are a great
deal better than they seem; others are
a great deal worse. There are those
whose external manner puts them at a
great disadvantage, and who must be
known thoroughly in order to be APP
preciated fairly. There are others,
again, who are of smooth address and
of plausible manners because of their
lives of deceit and hypocrisy. 1t will
not do for us to think, or to say, that
man is always better, or that he is al
ways worse, than he seems; but a re-
sponsibility is on us to decide in each
particular case whether a man whom
we meet is to be trusted, or is to be
summed. This judgment requires both
charity and discriminating observa
ton; but it is duty which can not be
safely shirked.-S. s. Times.

THE SUNFLOWER FOR POULTRY.
This stately, if somewhat course look
ing plant, has some claims on the atten-
zion of those who keep poultry, aside for
its use for ornament, in the value of the
seed for feeding The quick growth OF
the plants, and the ample shade they
soon afford if planted where fowls as
semble, is also an argument in their IA
vor. An enthusiastic grower of the plant
in connection with poultry keeping, thus
speaks of it in the Poultry Journal: As a
shade for fowls and growing chicks the
plants are unequaled the birds prefer
ring them to the cornfeld, shubbery or
artificial shade of any kind. Again a
given quantity of ground will produce
more bushels of sunflower seed than OF
corn, and it is certainly superior as poul
try food. | plant it in rows three tc
three and half feet apart and twelve t.
eighteen inches in the rows. | cultivate
with horse when find the hoe is toe
tedious. Such q distance between the
rows affords excellent space for the coops
OF hens with their broods The plants
make excellent shade, and the occasion
al cultivation gives the chicks fresh earth
to enjoy themselves in. When the seeds
are sufficiently rlpened for food | bend
The stocks of the smaller heads over, sc
the flowers will hang about twelve inches
from the ground. This allows the chicks
and fowls to go their own harvesting OF
these; but leaves the larger ones to ripen
fully, when they may be gathered and
threshed with a fail, run through the
tanning mill and kept for future use. No
other food will at all compare with them
to produce eggs to give fine glossy
plumage.

MR.. JAMES BERRY,
EIeeutiOner,

with his Bradford address in the corner.
A somewhat curious and embarrass-
ing incident occurred during Mr..
Berry's late residence on professional
duty in Carlisle. The triple execution
occurred a. eight o'clock on Monday
morning, the bodies, according to law,
hung for an hour, when it devolved on
the hangman to cut them down, and
the time arrived for him to give his at
tention to the acquisition of his CHASTITY
perquisites. At ten o'clock, while l"dies
and gentlemen resident in The princi-
pal hotel OF the city were at bre lkfasu,
Mr.. Berry entered the apartment and
attacked with fine appetite the meal
set before him. This world is world
of compromises, but the lady and gen
tleman breakfasting in the coffee-room
of the County" were not endowed
with sufficient philosophy to recognize
that truth in the conditions which con-
fronted them. There is a popular, if
captious, prejudice against the hang
man at close quarters; there was now
an irrepressible revulsion against the
hangman, reeking from his ''profes-
sional functions" troubling this gen
tleman for the mustard and handing
that lady the salt-cellar. The occu-
pants of the coffee-room rose and pre-
cipitately left it to the Sole occupancy
of Jack Ketch. The hotel officials pro-
fessed their inability to interfere
towards an alteration of the situation
supineness against which some re-
monstrances were made with a certain
emphasis. Mr.. Berry leisurely finished
his me- :, sauntered out into the hail.
where an old gentleman was acting as
spokesman of the exiled breakfasters,
proclaimed himself a public officer of
credit and responsibility, denounced
the old gentleman violently as a
"blackguard" for Directing. to his So
ciety, expressed burning anxiety to
kick him out of the house.. and wound
up with a fervent hope that he might
some day experience his professional
attentions. Sir Bernard Burke does
not allot the hangman a place in his
table of precedence, which is an obvi-
Gus omission.-Londo1, NeWS.

He was a quiet, shy, retiring person.
of rather weak physique, of practiced
dexterity on the scaffold, and of good
nerve until advanced age began to tell
upon him. He was a cobbler in a
small street off the New North
road. He was very fond of fish
ing on the river Lea in its higher
reaches, about the New Forest, and
the old fellows chief anxiety seemed
to be ever to shun recognition. 1t is
told of him, whether truly or not, that
the infamous Mrs. Manning was dis
tant connection of his, and that when
he was drawing the white cap down
over her face on the scaffold, she bit
him on the ball of the thumb. OF the
wretched Binns, who was Calcraft's
temporary successor, nothing need be
said. At once clumsy and intemper-
ate, his career as hangman was short
lived.
James Berry, the present execution
er, is a man of quite another stamp
from either Calcraft or Binns.
Bradford man, by trade a shoemaker,
he was member of the Bradford po-
lice force, from which he was iuvalided
because of severe injuries he received
in the execution of his duty, having
been wo aided on the forehead and
elsewhere with knife by man whom
he was engaged in experimenting. His
hurts confined him to bed for sixteen
weeks, and enforced his discharge
from the police with gratuity of
twenty-eight pounds as compensation
for his wounds. Mr.. Berry regards it
as matter for legitimate pride that
ho Il, sol
didate out of host of two thousand
one hundred applicants for the office.
On one occasion, while pinion-
ing the ankles of a criminal, he was
kicked by him SO severely as to have
been rendered senseless for several
minutes, to the horror of the high
sheriff in attendance, who foresaw for
himself a CHASTITY prospect, but that
the executioner "came to" in time to
fulfil his duty. Berry is q square
shouldereG, compactly- built man of
middle height, with rather strongly
marked features, dark hair brushed
high, and a fringe Of dark beard round
his face. There is nothing of Calcraft's
habits of self-effacement about him; he
seems to have a genuine pride in what
he styles his profession" and has no
hesitation in avowing himself. When
he reached Carlisle for the execution of
the Netherby burglar-murderers, he
walked from the railway station to the
Jail, followed by quite a crowd. Be-
tween his arrival and the execution on
Monday morning he was freely en- eUi-
de'ace about the town and gave no heed
to the cautions given him to the effect
that Ridges brother was in the town
and had given hints of ominous inten-
tions. A person who may have the fe-
licity of an interview-an unofficial in
terview-with Mr.. Berry may enjoy
the additional qualification of having
the honor to be presented with that
gentleman's visiting card. This
weapon is of more than ordinary di-
mansions and substantially. A deep

Thanks to Br. Henley who started the
financial work with subscription of $25

the friends who so generously followed
his lead. Their names are all inscribed

I wish also to mention that earlier in

Eldorado, where with the help Of Br.
Blackford, held series of meetings,
which were very pleasant to me, and I
hope profitable to the church. At this
place about 1925 we're secured for the
Permanent Fund, largely through the in
fuence and example of Br. Blackford.
Such help and sympathy make the
work of the Financial Agent pleasant,
and bring good to the cause at large.
