Crimson clover, also called scarlet. an
nual, German and Italian clover, is an
annual clover indigenous to northern and
central Europe. Crimson clover is very
hardy and thrives upon soil too light to
yield satisfactory crops Of red or white
clover On suitable soil the yield is one
to two tons per acre Of orc cutting. The
quality Of the hay is fully equal to that
Of red clover. This clover has been
prominently brought before the public
latterly by glowing reports Of it in bull
letins issued from the Delaware expert
ment station. North Carolina station and
individual farmers in different sections
Of the country. Here is what is said Of
it in a bulletin issued from the North

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 6.-Freeman D.
Scmerby, late Supreme President of the
Order of the Iron Hall; DR.. Charles H
Baker, late Supreme Medical Examiner;
Joseph Gladding, late Supreme Organ
izer, and James II. McKearsley, late
Chairman of the Supreme Finance Com
mittee, were arraigned yesterday before
Magistrate Pole or the charge of using
5000, 900 of the Orders funds to sustain
the Mutual Banking and Trust company,
of this city.
District-Attorney Graham, who is the
receiver of the local branch of the Order,
stated that he would offer no objection to
the accused officials waving hearing if
they desired to do so.
Counsel for the defendants then made
motion to waive a hearing and the magis-
trate bound them over in $4,000 bail for
court.
After the hearing District Attorney
Graham said he would resist the attempt
of the Indianapolis authorities to take the
defendants there for trial, as they are now
bound over for court here on the same
charges on which they were indicted in
Indiana.
Mr. Graham said that he would present
the facts to Gov. Pattison and he believed
the Governor would refuse the requisition
from the Indiana courts.

A MIGHTY HUNTER.
Theirs Remark, Which Was Truly Frenc1
in Its Wit.

1t is the custom in France for all the
fashionable world to go shooting in The
autumn. Every possessor of landed
estate invites his friends from Paris to
visit him at this season, and every Wis
itor is expected to distinguish himself
with the gun.
When Adolph Theirs, the petit bour-
geois statesman of France, became
president of the republic he was in
vited one autumn to take part in the
sports at the country estate of M. CAST
mir-Perier. He accepted the invitation,
and consequently had to appear on the
hunting field in shooting dress and
armed with a gun. The whole enter
tainment was really in his honor.
NJ. Casimer-Perier was aware that
his old friend, now the president,
knew nothing whatever about hunting.
But he instructed his gamekeeper to
follow NJ. Theirs about and see that.
in one way or another, the great guest
of the occasion "bagged" more game
than any other person.
The gamekeeper led the president to
certain spot and said to him: "Your
excellency, the game will all be driven
past this place. You have nothing to
do but remain here and if you shoot at
all you are bound to kill something"
But tn e president, to his credit, de-
clined this opportunity, and insisted
upon travelling about with the other
hunters-except that he never went to
the right place and never got shot at
all. The gamekeeper was in despair
The distinguished guest kept him hop
ping about from place to place but al
ways out of range of the game.
Nevertheless, by collision with 9th.
ers, the gamekeeper so managed it
that when the days sport was over
NJ. Theirs, who had not discharged his
gun all day, found large pot of game
at his feet, which was declared to be
his bag"
'This mine?" said the president, in
| establishment.
Certainly, your excellency."
"Ah! l see," he said. 81 never shot
anything before became president, sc
1 suppose this was killed by the Office,
not by the man!"-Youth's Companion.

that my husband was in no fit condition

every doctor who has ever seen my

this is the strangest part of it, why
prominent persons will try and get him
out of the asylum when all the doctors
pronounce him as unfit to come out.
Il think he was aided in his escape

my son and I have denied ourselves
many things to pay his board. We have

When his business was settled there was
about $500 left, and this was in small
amounts and some of it hard to get.

three hours he held the undivided atten-
