A peculiar thing happened in United
States Judge Lacombe's court yester-
day One juryman sat upon case.
Emile Vatable, a dapper little Franco
American, had the proud privilege of
representing a jury Of twelve persons,
peers of the defendant in the suit.
He seemed to enjoy the affair hugely.
The suit was brought by George w
Kidd against the st. Paul Fire lnsur-
ance company. On Jan. 20. 1891, sixty
five barrels of spirits shipped by him
over the Nickel Plate road were de-
|stroyed by fire. and suit was brought to
compel the insurance company to pay
the sum OF $3.50
Judge l4acombe, after testimony had
been introduced and argument had, di-
reeted the Juryman to find for the plain
tiff IN the full amount, with costs, which
ne very promptly did.
1T was good thing" said Juror
Vataole afterward, that the Judge di-
rected me what kind of verdict to
pring for IT he had not the jury would
most certainly have disagreed. New

CHAPTER III.

1t had been d warm morning. An I'M
usual mist, which the sun had not dissi-
pated had crept on from the great grain
fields beyond, and hung around the house
charged with dry, dusty closeness that
seemed to be quite Independent of the
SIMS rays, and more like heated ex-
halation or emanation of the soil itself.
In its acrid irritation Rose thought she
could detect the breath of the wheat as
on the day she had plunged into its
pale green shadows.
By the afternoon this mist had disap-
peared, apparently in the same mysteri-
GUS manner, but not scattered by the
usual trade wind which-another I'M
usual circumstance--that day was not
forthcoming. There was a breathless-
ness in the air like the hush of listening
expectancy which filled the young girl
with vague restlessness, and seemed to
even affect u scattered company of crows
in tho field beyond the house which rose
suddenly with startled but aimless wings
and then dropped vacantly among the
grain again.
4hetJ' Woo 81 blo-
tant part of the ranch, Mrs. Randolph
was presumably engaged in her bcudoir,
and Rose was sitting between Adele and
Emile before the piano in the drawing
room, lstlessly turning over the leaves of
some music. There had been an odd
mingling of eagerness and abstraction in
the usual attentions of the young man
that morning, and a certain nervous af-
fectation in his manner of twisting the
ends of small black mustache which
resembled his mothers eyebrows, that
had affected Rose with half amused,
half uneasy consciousness, but which
she had, however, referred to the rest
lessness produced by the weather. 1t
occurred to her also that the vacuously
a1niable Adele had once or twice regard
ed her with the same precocious. child
like curiosity and infantine cunning she
had once before exhibited.

IL The Desk Boys Annual Basebsii Fever.
81 With the balmy spring weather a
great change has come over the red
headed desk boy six Fingered Pete,
Y the Chief of the Danites," is laid in the
drawer for well earned rest and the
Office cat ventures from under the ex-
change editors desk with little fear of u
coating of paste. The boy has got his
annual dose of baseball fever and the
sporting editor and baseball reporters
will be the recipients of his distinguished
consideration for the next few months.
He has appointed himself editor of the
Juvenile baseball department. and any
freckle faced youth with broken nose or
crooked fingers is nailed by him the mo-
nent he puts his pug nose inside the
sanetum. Then ensues something like
the following:
Freckle Face TREMENDOUSLY - Is de

Desk Boy 1oftily|- What club, please?

Thereupon the desk boy nonchalantly
pulls over pad, yawns rs if trife
wearied and produces the following:
THE Eagle Eyes have organized for the
season, and would like to meet any mines
whose players are under sixteen. Chal-
lenges may be sent to-
Here he shoves the pad over to Freckle
Face and says, Sign in yer name an ad-
dress, please"
Freckle Face does so, and goes bound
ing down into Park row joyfully. with

He chums with the baseball reporters
assiduonsly during the season, and snubs

Mrs. Randolph was silent. "She is

''She seems to be very much impressed

she'd make him do just what she wanted.

dignity, perhaps we had better not

MARKETING HONEY.
Points t. Re Considered In Rendering
Combs Attractive.

Points to Re Considered IN Rendering
Combs Attractive.
The finer grades of comb honey will
perhaps always remain a luxury and
progressive beekeepers will continue
TO produce ii in the most attractive
form possible. Most apiarists recog
nize that it is the beautiful appearance
of section of honey, more than any
thing else, that helps to sell it. Al
though some produce il for their own
use or TO give to their friends, they
find great satisfaction in having it
just as nice as it can be. In order to
have il so furnish the hives with bright
new sections holding not over one
pound each and filed with foundation.
OF sections beekeepers have full con-
troll, and IL they fail to use the best
they themselves and not the bees are
TO blame. Over the honey filed in by
the bees they have not so much con-
troll, and often after the most careful
planning, snow-white sections are
found filled with honey-dew almost as
black as ink. To get my ideal of sec
ton honey, separators must be used,
says a writer in American Bee Journal
They should be as wide as the sections,
and no part of the outside must be ex-
posed TO the travel of the bees. Foun-
dation in full sheets is almost indis-
pensable to get the bees to attach the
comb to the section bottom. When all
is well done. and the beautiful white
capped honey in new white sections is
taken from the hive the apiarist
wonders whether anything else
can be done TO make the prod
net more attractive. Many attempt
to make it SO in various ways. | have
seen honey on the market in sections
which were painted a bright red,
others which were stained cherry
red, or mahogany color. However,
this seemed to add little TO its appear
anee. 1t rather indicated that some
thing was covered up, the honey had a
queer look, and If the sections were
new and clean, the paint and stain
were only detriment. Others try to
gain the desired result by placing the
producers's trade mark or name upon
each section in bright red ink by
means of a rubber stamp This not
only serves to advertise the producer,
but slightly enhances the appearance
of the product II the work il neatly
done
AS to the shipping cases hold these
sections, it is not SO important about
paint and stain. | haze seen cases

white edges of sections and delicate
comb honey, looked very attractive
through the glass. ! should prefer TO
ship my honey in cases painted black,
rather than have them stained or
dirty But even when applied to ship
ping eases ii is very doubtful if any
thing can be gained by paint--nothing
seems so neat and bright as new.

the better it pleases me for sections,
