trouble was that there were no postal

The murder of two policem,

The murder of two policemen by
Dilger in Louisville last week brings
up the question of how officers are 10
treat refractory offenders. Policemen
are at decided disadvantage. They
can not use violence unless az last
resort, and while they are determin-
ing this delicate point they may be
slaughtered. On the other hand If
they lay on reckless application of
the club they are criminally rcspon-
sible. The question can best be deter
mined by the courts. Whenever All
individual persists in defying the law
and gives evidence by violent conduct
of a criminal career, the court should
sieze an early opportunity of giving
him dong term" 1t is the posi-
bility of escape from punishment
that encourages many a man TO be-
come a murderer, and if the peniten-
tiary stood fronting every assassin
crime would grow beautiful less.

Uncle Hal Jackson was in town
last Monday and gave us an interest
ing account of the peculiar freaks OF
a turkey gobbler which is on his
place. Sometime since he found that
/ the turkey had taken possession OF a
nest of guinea eggs by which he was
acting the maternal part by setting
on them. When she attempted TO
make the gobbler get of his turkey
ship showed fight and refused to
leave the nest. Mr.. Jackson at once
become interested in the outcome of
the proceedings and day and after
day went to see how the gobbler was
progressing in his new undertaking.
Last Friday he went to look after his
turkey and found that his persisten-
cy had caused the eggs to hatch. But
what was his surprise to find that the
gobbler instead of claiming the brood,

shell, caught the youngster by the
head and crushed its skull. The
young guineas were scattered around
the nest, each one stone dead. The
turkey seemed dissatisfied with his
efforts and proposed 10 kill the whole
brood. There were twenty-five eggs
in the nest and all Matched except
four or five that were spoiled. Dur
ing the morning the gobbler set with
head to sunrise; as soon as II O'Clock
came he would turn with his head to
the west and remain in that posi-
ton until some time during the night
when he would change to see the ris-
ing sun. The gobbler is now with
out a job and is walking around as
unconcerned as though he had never
played the mother or failed TO pro-
duce his kind.-IIOpkins County
