l.. Fl. Bailey, in The American Natural
ist, after an exhaustive discussion con-
cludes that the common garden strawberry
OF England and America is direct modi-
fication Of the Chile strawberry. The mod
flied type has driven from cultivation the
Virginian berries, which were earlier In
troduced into gardens, and the original
type of the Chilean berry In little known,
as IL tends to disappear quickly through
variation when cultivated. This conclu-
sion Is Of great interest to botsnists, for II
it is justified type Of plant has been diff
fercntiatcd In less than 90 years so COM
pletely that, In the flrst place, three species
have been erected upon it. and, secondly,
they are rarely associated by horticulturists

Aunt Patty's Cow.

Daisy was Aunt Patty's COW. She gave
rich milk and was very gentle Aunt
Patty made great pet Of her and always
MIXED her herself
BY and by auntie felt too old to take
care of her COW and hens and garden, and
concluded 10 go and live In the village
with her sister.
The cow was sold to n neighbor, who
felt very much pleased to get such a good
one a. he knew Daisy to be.
But he changed his mind when he tried
to milk her. She seemed very cross COW
indeed. She put down her head and shook
her horns at him, kicked and sent the pail
across the yard. He tried again and again,
but IL was no use. She would not let him
come near her.
Away he went to Aunt Patty.
"I thought your COW was gentle" said
he, "but can do nothing with her."
Auntie was surprised TO hear this Of her
pet. She thought minute.
I'M tell you what to do" she said.
"Daisy is used TO me, you know, and she
does not like q change Go home, and put
on your wife's sunbonnet and one Of her
skirts, and i think you will have no trou-
BILE"
Maybe that is the matter" said the
good man. and went home TO try the ex-
pertinent. Sure enough, when he came
in sunbonnet and print skirt, with the
pail on his arm, Daisy made no objection.
She was as quiet as she had been with
Aunt Patty and gave pailful of rich,
yellow milk.
This Is true story. Her new owner
kept her for years and liked her very
much, but IL would never do TO forget the
sunbonnet.- Mary johnson in Our
Little Ones.

Bp the Associated Press

PEORIA, ILL.,, Aug. 3o.-Inquiry here
confirms the report that the distilling
company will contest the increase in tax
on the ground of illegal duty. IL
is learned that this has long been
President Greenhut's idea and he has
been in favor of making the fight on this
basis. Good legal authority has been
secured for the argument that when
the spirits were put in bond at 80
cents per gallon, there was an implied
contract that the tax would be increased
on these goods while they were in bond.

A PRIEST EXECUTED.
He Was Convicted OF Murder and q
Conflict Was Expected.

BpIHe Ae0cidfcd ffe1.
LAVAL, France, Aug. 20.--The execution
Of Abbe Bruneau, formerly vicar of the
Church OF Entrances, convicted OF the
murder OF Able Fricot, passed OF much
more quietly than the authorities an
ticipated.
The order OF the execution was not re-
ceived until o'clock last evening and
Deibler, the executioner, and assistants
did not commence erecting the guillotine
until 2:15 a. m. From that time the
crowd increased until fully 5000 people
were present. Maitro Dominique,
counsel for the prisoner, was In
Paris trying TO induce President
Casimir Perier TO commute the
condemned mans sentence, but 1t was
unsuccessful ana arrived here last evening.
The people OF Laval were SO indignant at
Maitre Dominiques' action in appealing
directly to the President that it was
feared he would be attacked, and conse-
quently he left the train at a station out
side OF Laval. Able Bruneau was awake
when the officials entered his cell this
morning to inform him that
his last hour had arrived. Un-
aided, the condemned men quickly
dressed and he was then led to the chapel
OF the prison, where the representatives
of the press were already seated. In
passing the holy water font the Able
dipped his fingers, knelt and crossed
himself fervently. He was then led
10 the altar where he prayed for a
few moments, and afterward, with the
prison chaplain, retired to a corner, where
the latter heard the prisoners last
confession. This lasted 10 minutes, after
which mass was celebrated, Able Bru-
neau following the prayers with great de-
votion.
Goodness Deserted Him.
He then went to breakfast, apparently
deeply penitept, after which the prisoner
again communed with the prison chap
lain and asked that the clergy might par
don him for his breaking vows of chas-
tity, then informed the attendants that
he was ready, and showed great
GOODNESS until he arrived at the foot
of the scaffold, when his fortitude seemed
TO desert him. Upon The guillotine plat
form, Able Bruneau kissed the crucifix,
murmured a short prayer, and then at a
signal from Deibler, he was overturned
upon the bascule, thrust rapidly forward.
At about 5:0o a. m, the knife fell and the
priests head dropped into the basket amid
loud cries of bravo" from the assembled
crowds.
His Awful Crimes.
Able Bruneau was found guilty OF the
murder of Able Fricot, Cure OF En-
frames, by stunning him, throwing
him into wei pitching blocks OF wood
upon the old priest as he struggled
for life and finally holding him with a
long ! lie under the water until
dead. He was also shown to
have committed number of
robberies and and he was indicted for the
murder of widow named Bourdais.
Nine. Bourdais was found stabbed to
death and her place of business rsnsscked.
Some OF the property stolen was traced to
tha possession OF Able Bruneau.
