YES, IN GUILTY.

ayes, I'm guilty. the prisoner said!
/ As he wiped his eyes and bowed his head.
"Guilty of all the crimes you name;
hut this ycrc lad is not to blame.
Twas | alone who raised the row,
And, Judge, II YOU please, IN tell yer how.
You see, this boy is palc and slim;
We calls him Saiut-hiS name is Tim,
He's like a preacher I'm his ways;
He never drinks, or Swcars, or plays,
But kinder sighs and wccpS all day
'Twould break your heart To hear him pray.
Why, sir, many and many night
when grub was scarce and WITS tight,
No food, no fire, no light to see,
I've seen that boy in darkness Kuccl,
And pray such words as cut like steel;
Which somehow warmed and lit the room
And sorter chased away the gloom.
Smile II you must, but NctS are Mct>,
And deeds are deeds, and acts are acts;
And though I'm black rs sin can be,
His prayers have douea heap for me.
And make me think that God, perhaps,
Sent him on earth to save us chaps.
This man what squealed and pulled us in,
He keeps place called Ftddlcrs Inn,
Where tsilSs, and Suides and lowlcsS scamps
ConnivC and plot with thieves and trumpS.
Well, Tim and me, we didn't know
Just what to do or where to gu,
And SO we stayed with him last night,
And this is how we had the fight:
They wanted Tim to take a drink,
But he refused, as you may think,
And told them how the flowing bowl
Contained the fire that killed the soul.
Drink Drink they cried, this toaming
beer;
Twill make you strong and give you cheer.
Let preachers groan and prate uf sin,
But give to us the flowing ginv
Then Tim knelt down beside his chair,
And offered up this little prayer:
Help me, dear Lord the child began,
As down his cheeks the big tears ran,
TO keep the pledge gave TO you,
And make me strong, and good and true.
I've done my best TO do what's right,
hut, Lord, I'm sad and weak tonight.
Father, mother, oh, plead for me
Tell Christ long with you to ber"
Get up, you brat. don't pray round here

Then, like n brute, he hit the lad,
Which made my blood Just b'ning mad.

For l struck hard for the man that's dead.
No, he haint no folks or friends hut me;

The Readings.

A good audience, but not nearly so
large as town Of the size and liter
airy character of Salem should have
given, assembled in the opera house
last night, to hear Geo. w. Cable
read from his own writings, He
did not commence till few minutes
after the advertised hour, eight
o'clock, to allow for variation of
watches, and yet u number of per-
sons, most of them, with thesqueak-
lest of boots, came in late. Pausing
till the interruption Of the late cOm-
ers' footsteps subsided and the NOV
ing of chairs ceased, Mr.. Cable pro-
ceeded to read his celebrated descrip-
ton of Grand POinte, its new school
master, his trials, triumphs and love
adventure, At first the audience
scarcely caught every word and fail
ed to enter fully into the spirit of
the piece. But as the plot developed
and the reader, or rather reciter for
he but once consulted the book dur
ing the long exercise, threw himself
with genuine abandon into
the varied dialogue of the marked
and opposite characters he delin-
lated, the interest grew until the
tension at times was intense. Mr..
Cable has most retentive memory
and ready utterance. His voice,
in ordinary descriptive scenes, some
times lacks a little in volume and
force, but when the scene grows
exciting, he rises to the occasion, and
displays wonderful histrionic power.
He we'll sustained the characters
of his creation, however opposite in
nature and speech, and his dramatic
realizatiOns often held the audience
in breathless attention. He does
not merely read but acts out the
whole scenes with vivid impressive
ness. There ought TO have been very
full house. We trust there viii be

Experiments with Field Corn.

OF thirty-hve varieties of field corn
tested on the grounds of the State Agri-
cultural college Of Colorado and reported
upon by Professor Blouut, but two have
been in any way improved. The Pride
of the North and the Yellow Flint, having
proved most valuable, have been selected
for several years. From a six ounce ear,
growing singly on the stalk, in five years
the ears have been made to average eight
to ten ounces, and have been doubled ON
the stalk, Reports from those who have
planted the same seed are most tiattering'
The fielder is fine and when cut before
frost and well cured, stock prefer it to
hay. When selected for seed all stalks
bearing two ears or more are left standing
in the field until dead ripe, and when they
are cut up the top ears only are saved,
and only those that are well formed and
have straight rows. By iudicious selec-
tion of the first ears that ripen, the period
of maturity has been materially shortened.
This variety the first year was l4l days
ripening Last year it ripened in ninety
eight, and in the fields of some farmers In
ninety days

A CONE CASE BEE EscApE,

This cone case bee escape is simply as
'ollows: Take an empty surplus case that
any beekeeper may be using-say, for
illustration, the 7 super Cut a thin
board that will just cit inside the T case;
bore two one inch holes, one near each
9nd. Make two small cones of wire cloth,
iilSt large enough TO tack over the one
inch holes, and about one and one-half
inch high. Now make two more larger
cones, about three and one-half inches at
base and three and one-half inches high,
lad tack over the smaller cones. This
will leave u space between the smaller
and larger cones, and each cone has hole
in its apex that will admit a bee. You
now have o device like E in the illustra-
tion. Fasten this board with cones, near
the bottom of your empty super, as shown
by B. Now, as this empty section ease
with the false bottom-or top-with cones,
is just the size of the surplus cases already
on the hive, the full super may be raised,
as at A, and super 'C) filled with empty
sections can be put Oh the hive. Between
the supers A and G, the cone case B is
placed, with cones pointing toward the
brood nest The full supers of sections
and bees can be put on top Of the cone

few hours you may expect to have your
full super all clean OF bees and not cell
uncapped. If the cone case be adjusted
in the afternoon or evening, your full SUI
per will be just as you would desire it
next morning.
Mr.. Reese says that he makes the wire
cloth cones very rapidly by using two tin
cones of right size, molding the wire
cloth between the tin ones. f shows the
outside cone, is the square of wire cloth
and II the inside cone, which is fastened
on to wooden stake, the latter stuck
into the bench The central mesh of G,
or as nearly as may be, is placed on the
apex of the cone e. The cone f is then
driven down, forming the square of wire
cloth into a cone. Queen cell protectors
can also be made on these tin cones to
perfection.
Mr. Reese inclines to the belief that one
set of wire cones would answer every
purpose that the two do especially if the
hole was made larger, say one end three
quarters or two inches. The editor of the
journal quoted from, commenting on the
same, expressed the opinion that one set
of cones is practically safe,

south side of tree is exposed to the direct
rays of the sum- while the north side is
more or less protected from them.
Nature accommodates itself to this
changed condition, and the difference in
development in many trees on the south
and north sides is obvious to ordinary OBJ
servatiOn.
When the south side of tree is turned
to the north, each side finds itself in q
position for which nature has made no
preparation, and death follows almost as
certainly as II the top were put in the
ground and the roots turned up to the
sky.
The willow and some other trees will
grow If planted upside down, and many
trees will grow with the south side turned
to the north, but with trees difficult to
transplant at best, it is a mistake very
apt to be fatal to turn the south side to
the north, and the older the tree the
greater the danger from changing sides in
transDlanting
