Millions in it,"
Yes, and the origin of it becoming =

there that about sixty years ago, or about
the time the Erie canal was opened, that
there was a Connecticut Yankee named
Burnett who made his living by raising
peppermint and distilling it. putting into
httle bottles and travelling over the
the country and selling it That was
long before the day Of patent medicines
or drug stores This Burnett owned .
small farm near Deerfield, Conn, e sort
of hillside concern, where the weed grew
wild In his travels he got as far west as
Lyons. where he discovered abundance OF
his profitable weed growing wild along
the streams Well, he caught the west

Lyons and settled.
Made a success of it,"
Not only that but the weed here pos
sessed not only an abundance Of oil, but
of q better quality, and he embarked his
all in the manufacture Of the oil He
made so much ont OF it that the neigh
bors followed suit and either distilled on
their own lands or turned over their crops
to Burnett"
He was a sort Of peppermint king"
"NO; that honor was reserved for an
other man-Hiram e. Hotchkiss-who
is now - years old and has become aluill

What is the crop worth this year"
"The mint acreage is about 600 acres,

MURDER AND MANsLAUGHTER.
Legal definitions of the Two Crimes
Degrees Of Criminslity.


Murder is defined as the killing of
human being in time of peace with
malice aforethought, expressed or i'm
piled The essence of murder is previous
malice and the difficulty in deciding
whether killing is a murder or not usu
ally hinges on the proof of malice The
malice need not be toward the person
killed. for if IA man shoots at 4 and misses
him but kills b. il is held TO he murder
because Of the previous intent TO Kill some
one Milling by dueling is murder. for IL
Is deliberate. The possession of sound
memory and discretion is considered by
the law ne cssary TO the crime of murder.
so that no child. lunatic or idiot can be
punished as a murderer
The only instance where the proof Of
malice is not required TO constitute the
act OF murder is when the killing is done
in commission of felony. a burglary or
robbery If a number of persons con
splTc to commit an unlawful act, in the
execution of which murder is committed
they all held guilty OF murder If sew
cral persons COnsplrc TO bring about the
death of another, all are held guilty.

if one was compelled by the threats Of
others against his life TO take part in such

pUlsion would free him from the charge
OF murder.
Mauslaughter is unlawful homicide
without the condition of malice 1t is

tent 10 commit injury. or involuntary
where there was no such intent. The
killing of another in the heat of passion,
or under great immediate prOvoCation, is

accounted manslaughur The gradations
of these crimes differ in different states
Thus in some statef murder is divided
into degrees, and only murder in the first
degree is punished by death.
Generally deliberate. malicious murder
and murder committed in the perpetra ion
of some other infamous crime is beld TO
be murder in the first degree, while sll
other murder is Classed in the second de

is of wider application. Manslaughter in
