be removed and are generally piled
around stumps, or carted and dumped
in some out-of-tAe-way nook. Apictur-

these stones. The house may consist
of one room, or the rear may bc used as
an icehouse-a very desira bic appendage
to dairy. The building should not be
near any outbuillings containing stock,
and should be shaded if possible. No
cesspools should be near dairyhouse.
If an icehouse is not practicable, then
the house may be partitioHed and one

MISSOURI CURIOSITY.
Two SycaMorcs. an Oak and an Elm.
Growing from One Trunk.

Two Sycamorcs, an Oak and an elm,
Growing from One Trunk.
Four miles from Pineville, Mcdonald
county, on the grounds of j. J.. Parish,
is freak of nature so curious that if
1 had not seen it with my own eyes, says
Il contributor to an exchange, could
scarcely have believed it possible. On
the bank of the Elk river rises Il large
tree that towers high above the neigh
boring trees. At the ground a solid
buttressed trunk appears from eight to
ten feet in diameter. A little higher
than a mans head this trunk divides
into four lesser trunks, the two smaller
of which are in themselves fair-sized
trees, while the other two are far above
the average size. Here comes in the
queer part of the story: OF these di-
,ergent trunks the two large cnes are
respectively an elm and sycamore,
while the two smaller ones are an oak
and u sycamore. Above the union of the
common trunk each tree in leaf, branch
and bark is normal to it's type. The
trunk itself seems homogeneous whole
l would not presume to say that close
examination would not show in the
bark from different sections of the
trunk those peculiarities that dis
tingEish the bark of one tree from
that of the other, but certainly these
characteristics do not appear on c,lrsory
examination, nor are the lines of ion-
ture visible where the four trunks
coalesce.
l doubt if anyone can point to Il
stranger growth than ths-two syca-
mores, an oak and an elm, all grow
ing from one common trunk. This
meeting together of four youthful tree
trunks as they thickened with age is oc-
casionai1y seen, but this is an unusually
fine illustration. Each tree must. how
ever. form its own bark-that is to saw.
no one of them has been wholly en-
veloped by another. Hence careful in
vestigation ought to disclose a slight
line where the incurving bark of each
original tree meets.-Boonvil,e Demo-
crat.

money collected for clients into one common
fund, and that is what had been done in
this case. The business had always been
behind in it's settlements with clients and
was behind when Mclaughlin sold it, or
claimed to have sold it, to Richardson. He
admitted that Richardson had done very
foolish thing to sign the articles of sale. Mr..
Hall said that if the court had permitted
them to go into it, the attorneys for the de-
tense could have shown that Richardson
was simply a fgurehead
In his charge Judge Willis instructed the
jury that, if they found that the defendant
was one of the proprietors of the Snow
Church company, and that the money had
been received by the Snow-Church company,
deposited in common fund and used for the
benefit of the defendant, in part or in whole,
or used for the benefit of the Snow-Church
company with his knowledge or connivance,
they must return a verdict of guilty. But
if the amount Incorporated was found
to be less than $500, but more than $25, then
a verdict of grand larceny in the second
degree should be returned.
Several who have been close observers OF
the progress Of the trial express admiration
of Judge Willis for the manner in which he
tried the case, it being rather difficult one
to handle on account of the numerous ques-
ttonS of law raised.

JURY OUT, ALL NIGHT.
No Verdict in the Richardson Case
Mt MiduiSht,

The jury in the trial of H. X. Richardson,
secretary Of the SnowC Church company, was
given the case last severing. and no verdict
having been agreed upon up to midnight,
they were locked out for the night. 1t looks,
therefore, as though enlargement were
going to result.
The whole of yesterday was consumed
in the arguments OF Thea attorneys and the
charge of the court.f County Attorney But
Ter opened in the morning with his address
to the jury. He went over the entire history
of the Snow Church company, from the time
the business was first established down to
the appointment of receiver and the subse-
quent Indictment of Richardson. He main
tanned that the defendant had not denied
the appropriation of the money received for
the La Belle Wagon works to his own use.
1t had been proved. that the money, 1923,
was paid to the Snow-Church company by
Richard Nagel, for J. D. Nagel G. Co.; the
check had been seen in Richardson's hands,
and had not been turned over to the wagon
company 1t had been appropriated by the
defendant.
Attorney Hall made the argument for the
defense. He maintained that it was the COM
mon method of collection agencies to turn
