4 Wheelman's Adventure with "a
Adirondack Deer.
A young woodsman had curious ad-
venture the other night in the wild
woods Of Morehouseville, In the Adj
rondacks. He was riding along the
road on bicycle. His lamp was lit,
and the light 1t threw was powerful.
Suddenly, in the road ahead, form

lamp. Two turns Of the pedals showed
that It was deer, which, hearing no
sound and seeing nothing but the
light, had been literally lacked. as
much as ever deer was lacked from
. boat along a backwoods stream. The
sight flabbergasted the young man, and
then, before he thought to jump on, he
hit the deer fair In the side and doubled
It up In heap.

man has no distinct recollection. He
got mixed up in some way with some
thing. For brief instant he felt deer
hide under his hands. then something
hit him in the side and he went over
Into ditch among the briars.
BY and by he got up and examined
his wheel. The handle bars were bent,
and some spokes needed Strengthening.
The lamp was dented in several places,
but would still show light, the glass
having been untouched. When he got
things somewhat Strengthened 'out he
began to examine the road. There
was q place that looked like deer's

From long experience in managing an
npiary, we have come to the conclusion
that clipping the queens wings is n
decided advantage. No swarms will
then escape to the woods. The owner
can go from home, attend church, with
out having his mind disturbed with
thoughts Of losing swarms in his alb

the risk Of losing excellent queens and
swarms. The bees will never leave for
good If the queen does not accompany
them. This, Of course, has reference to
first swarms, as second swarms may
issue at any time, with q young queen
fully fedged, like Minerva from the
head Of Jove, ready for flight and legiti-
mate business. These latter can also
be prevented by opening the hives after
they have cast swarms, examining
carefully the combs and cutting out
all queen cells, but one in each hive.

Gently an incident occurred which
shows with what tenacity man can
hold secret, although the revealing
of it would involve no living soul, not
even himself, and would open the doors
to liberty which will otherwise remain
closed on him for life.
William Green, hunchback, some
twelve years ago, shot and killed one
Enos Brumbaugh in a fight over a re-
mark made by Brumbaugh concerning
GREEN'S dcformity. Green made his es-
cape, and, although diligent search
was made, could not be found. Sew
eral years later Green's brother, Amer.
abducted and murdered pretty Luella
Mabbett, the daughter of well-to-do
parents, residing near the Green home
stead, in Cass County, FOR the supposed
reason that she knew the whereabouts
of Bill Green. The body of the girl
has never been found, but parts of her
clothing were found in a creek sew
eral miles across the county line from
her home. Amer also escaped and
was lost track of. Three years later
the brothers were located in Texas
working on a cattle ranch, Bill in the
capacity of cook and Amer as cowboy.
The deputy sheriff of Cass County,
who had traced them, secured the SER
vices of Texas sheriff, and after Il
narrow escape of being shot with rifle
in the hands of Amer Green the mur-
derers were captured and brought
back to the scene of their crimes.
The finding of Miss Mabbett's clothes
in Carroll County gave that county the
Jurisdiction of Amer Green, and he
was taken there for trial. While he
was in the custody of the sheriff and
his deputies they We're overpowered

where the girls clothing had been
found, bound hand and foot, and with
q moose around his neck he was placed

begging to know the fate of his child,
and what he had done with her body.
The murderer refused to speak, and
one of the mob struck the horses which
were hitched to the wagon, and as they
lunged forward Amer Green fell from
the seat, breaking his neck by the fall.
Bill Green was tried and sentenced
for life to the Northern Indiana prison
Many times has the heart-broken old
father begged of the crippled convict
to tell him the fate of his daughter and
the Whereabouts of her body. Even at
the deathbed of Green's mother, where
he went from the prison to see her, he
refused to speak, and later, it is said,
the father secured the promise of the
Jurors who tried William Green to sign
petition which, the authorities say,
would have secured his pardon If he
would tell about the murder. But
Green, with bulldog tcnacity, still holds
the secret, and prefers iron bars and
silence to liberty, which could almost
be had for the asking.-Indianapoli

Poultry Pointers.
Buckwheat is fattening; when fed
sparingly is egg producing.
Sell the culls as soon as possible, in
order to save feed and give more room.
Do not set the drinking vessels too
low; If you do the fowls will scratch
dirt into them.
Let the nests be in dark place. The
hens like 1t better, and are less liable to
acquire the habit of egg eating.
Fowls left to select their food, doubt
less would take seeds, insects and
grass. We should come as near MS pos
sible supplying these preferences.
If your hens lay soft shelled eggs it
is because there is not enough lime in
their food. Feed them grit-gravel,
oyster shell, plaster or ground bone.
There is considerable difference be-
tween selling eggs for 10 cents and 25
or 30 cents dozen, consequently 1t will
pay to pack them in salt. Salt is cheap.
and packing eggs in it does not destrox
it.

The first year after the tree is plant
ed is the time to prune and shane the

How much did the garden contribute
to the support of the family this sum-
mer?
Don't haul your fruit to market in q.
lumber wagon, but use n strong spring
wagon with a large platform. 1t saves
your fruit from mashing.
If you mix windfalls with pickea
fruit they will detract from the fine
qualities of your fruit, from the prices
and worst of all, from the excellence of
your reputation. Keep them separate.
If the ants are cutting the leaves of
your fruit trees fasten wisp of loose
cotton around the stem Of the tree be-
tween ground and the first branch; the
ants tangle in this and can't climb
over 1t.
In packing fruit for shipment no pur-
pose is served by ventilation other than
the escape of moisture. The contact of
fresh air hastens decay. Have the
package on the outside as dry as posi-.
ble.
Just after the gathering of fall ap-
pies prices are usually low; better profit
