among the miscellaneous articles for
sale ON one of the tables was patent
hook for lifting kettles from the stove.
The clergyman of the parish stood ac-
cideutaily beside this table, when he
was approached by Harvard student
who was lending to the occasion the
light of his couutcnauce.
WHAT'S that thing for?" the student
asked. taking hold of the uteusil men,
toned.
Il believe that is pot-lifter," the
clergyman answered.
The youth regarded it curiously a
moment in silence.
"Will You kindly tell me-" he said
at length, chow you lift Jackpot

The clerical gentleman blushed for
the want of reverence shown to his
cloth, and then, recollecting himself.

FARM NOTES.

There is plenty of room for fruit on
every farm. Farmers give special atten-
tion to apples, but no. one-tentn of them
grow peaches, currants or cherries, even
fer home use.
Corn left standing in the field is not
only in ured by exposure but the shocks
become the harboring places of rats,
mice, and other vermip, which, with birds
and rabbits, destroy or waste large por-
tion of the grain.
The American hog shows more fat and
produces more lard than those OF Eu

striking Justice Field, for The purpose Of
pulling from his coat a knife he was pre-
sumed to have carried, as he once made aiii-
davit that he always went armed. Il is the
theory Of those about tho United States mar
shal's Office that Mrs Terry, when she threw
herself on her husbands body. took a weapon
from him When the body wns searched no
weapon was found.
Little Mourning for the Dead Man.
California is very comfortably resigned 70
the death OF Judge Terry lie was such pro-
ifessional disturher of the peace and so thor
oughly tahooed by all classes Of society that
his death is regarded as good riddance 20 the
community For forty years he has been
mixed up in al sorts of dcspotc and blood
thirsty ventures No lawyer of good repute
cared 10 meet him at the bar, for his manners
were not those Of gentleman He had lost
by degrees the social respect Of all his old
time associates. He lived almost the life Of a
recluse, his marriage with the notorious Sarah
Althea Hnl shutting him entirely Off from
all recognition.
There is no doubt here IN any ones mind
that Justice Field would be a dead man to-
day if Tcrry's wife had managed to reach
the scene with the pistol before Terry fell,
They were accomplices in the plot 10 kill
/ him, and Sarah had tried her best 10 carry it
out.
In an interview Justice Field said; "While
Judge Terry was confined in the county jail
1 for contempt of court ho threatened that
when he was free he would kill myself and
Judge Sawyer Mrs Terry, prior to the
confinement of her husband, had made am as
sault upon Judge Sawyer Sawyer resented
the insult Terry would have killed him
Terys threats were 50 publicly made that
they reached the ears Of the department Of
justice at Washington and Attorney General
Miller ordered the United States marshal to
protect the persons Of Justice Sawyer and
myself objected at the time 70 being put
under the protection Of the marshals officer.
Mrs. Terry's Assault on Sawyer.
AS will be remembered Mrs Terry made a
personal assault upon Justice Sawyer on a
railroad train only few months ago, while
Terry has repeatedly threatened 10 kill Judge
Field if he should venture inside the state Of
California this summer The justice at first
paid no attention to warnings, but finally he
assented 70 the assignment Of the deputy
marshal for his protection.
The widows Mad Threats.
The end Of the affair may not yet have
been reached, for It would be no great sur
prise here if Terry's desperate widow should
carry out her threats It is said that after
the shooting she swore that she would yet
kill Field, whom she regards as the real
cause Of her husbands death. OF Constable
Walker, after the latter had arrested Nagle
end hail returned TO I4athrop, she demanded
that healso take Justice Field into custody.

Mrs. Terry. "He was 10 blame That Other
