want to know what your business Is
Well, your Honor, since that Ques-
ton has been asked me from the bench,
suppose I Will have to answer it, was
Morrison's unconscious comment. IF
you demand officially to know what nny
business is, don't mind telling you

By this time Morrison's face was
a1ame and his eyes had in them that
unmistakable glare of insanity. His
splendid form was aquiver with excite
ment, which increased as he warmed
UP to his subject. Judge McBeth was
quick to set aside the verdict Of the
jury and hastily adjourn court. Morri-
son retired to his Office and locked him
self In. That night he left Clinton as
quietly and unOstentatiously as he had
entered it two years before Nothing
has been seen or heard Of him since.
That afternoon DIR. Britz told crowd
In the drug store of how few months
previously he had examined Morrison
and discovered his insanity by asking
him the very question which, when put
by Judge McBeth, had set the strange
young doctor off on his hobby.
And to this day the old citizens OF
Clinton who remember Morrison are
still wondering how it was that he, be,
ing Insane, exercised such remarkable

Cows.

The farmer who thinks he cannot af-
ford to keep good cows is making a
great mistake. The cow is the farm
ers means of making livelihood,
and he wants the best means to be
had. Consider difference in profit of a
cow that will average 300 pounds Of
butter year and one that averages
only half that amount. Every farmer
who is in the business to-day should
have good COWS. If he cannot afford
to buy them he should buy a bull calf
of some reliable breeder, and in five
or ten years he will have as fine and
profitable a herd as he can wish.

The Poultry House.

A poultry house is not simply a place
in which the fowls should roost. In win;
ter, when the ground is covered with
snow, the hens are almost helpless and
must remain inside. They should have
plenty of room on the floor. which
should be kept covered with cut straw
or leaves, in which they can scratch
and work. Overlooking on grain is
the cause of hens not laying, and it
also leads to double-yolk eggs, soft
shell eggs and diseases. Each fowl
should have ten square feet of room
on the floor; that is, a poultry house
1Ox1O should accommodate ten fowls.

1ieas court. Judge McBeth was rugged
and brusque and direct Of speech. He
did not permit the lawyers to circum-
locute when examining witness in his
court. He made them go after the tes-
timony by direct methods, and he pur-
sued the same course in his examina-
ton Of jurors. An important case, in
volving thousands of dollars, was be-
fore Judge McBeth for trial. When the
jury was impaneled and sworn in Doc
tor Morrison was member of it. When
it was organized he was elected fore
man. Nearly all of the juries on which
he had previously served had honored
him with the foremanship. The lead
ing counsel for one side of the suit was
Judge James B. CAN'T, now a justice
of the State Supreme Court. Judge
CAN'T had an acknowledged advantage
over his adversary in having all of the
evidence and the law on his side. Three
days were consumed in the trial of the
case. The jury deliberated on it TWEEN
tyfour hours, and then returned a YER
dict against Judge Gantt's client. The
court room was jammed when the ver-
dict was announced, and everybody
was astonished by it. Judge CAN'T sat
for a moment appalled,. He was abso-
lutely certain of winning the suit. So
was everybody else who followed the
trial. Judge McBeth had practically
instructed the jury to find for Gantt's
client Nobody seemed more surprised
than the trial judge, not even excepting
Judge CAN'T, when the verdict was an
nounced the other way.
Behind Judge CAN'T in the courtroom
that morning sat DR.. Britz. ''That YER
dict is atrocious," said CAN'T to Britz
in desperation, land cannot under
stand it,"
ST understand IT, replied DIR. Britz
stoically.
''Then, in heavens name, what is it?
replied CAN'T.
Why" nonchalantly responded DIR.
Britt, ''the foreman of the jury is
crazy
do you mean that?'' anxiously in
quired the lawyer.
81 do,'' solemnly answered the Doc
tor.
Without any more ado, Judge CAN'T
sprang to his feet and startled the
crowded courtroom still more by NOV
ing for new trial on the ground that
the foreman of the jury was insane.
The motion was SO unexpected that
even Judge McBeth lost his equilibrium
and asked Can't if he meant what he
said, and If he really knew what he had
said.
81 do" replied Can't. II know exact
" what have said and l mean every
word of it. I again charge that the
foreman of the jury just discharged,
DR.. T. II. Morrison, is insane"
Judge McBeth could not conceal his
excitement. He squirmed uneasily In
his big armchair for moment, and
then blurted out: CDR. Morrison, come
to the bar"
Slowly, and with measured, d1gnlneo
tread, DR.. Morrison approached the
bar. A cynical smile played over his
immobile face. He stood like statue
while Judge McBeth eyed him coldly
for minute.
Without any preliminaries, Judge NC
Beth brusquely inquired: Are you

Have Warm Stables.

A man or an animal can endure any
amount of ventilation during the day,
but when night comes the animal, like
the man, delights in a warm and soft
bed free from cold draughts of air. The
cold draughts in the stable frequently
come along the floor, chilling the ami
NAL when it is at rest. This fact
should teach the farmer that he will
make no mistake in using plenty of
dry bedding, and it should be thick
and loose, thus preventing draughts
from below and assisting to retain the
animal heat

Plant the Peach Pits.

1t is a good plan to plant all peach
pits when it is known that the fruit
has beea grown on trees free from vel
lows. If the peach is an extra good
one. it may well be left to fruit on it's
own stock. Some kinds of peaches re-
produce themselves from seed, and all
kinds of this fruit are more likely to
produce something nearly like them
selves. If the native fruit proves to
be worthless, a few buds inserted high
er up after it has grown large enough
to show what it is, will change it to
whatever variety may be desired.

SfaIl-Fed Cattle.

It is a mistake to keep fattening cat
tie confined in stalls all through the
day without change. 1t is often done
under the impression that the animal IL
allowed to run out will work off all the
fat that the feeding can put on him.
But a short time each day will rest
the muscles, cramped by being kept in
one position too long. The animal will
also keep to his feed better than if
closely confined.

sow vernal grass, which has a very
pleasant scent, for the purpose Of fla

more palatable, and that makes it
more nutritious. 1t also makes the
hay field a much pleasanter place to
work in, as the scent of the newly-cut
vernai grass is most delightful.

One WAX to Cook Onions.

Remove the tops, tails and thin outer
skin of the onions, but no more, lest
the onions cook to pieces. Spread them
over the bottom on a pan large enough
to hold them without placing one on
ion upon another. Barely cover them
with sailed water and let them SIM
mer gently until they are well cooked,
without breaking to pieces. Then
serve with melted butter.

Averting Hog Cholera.

There is far less complaint of hog
cholera among wide-awake Western
farmers, who have learned that it is a
disease originating from exclusive
corn feeding. 1t is doubtless germ
disease, and once introduced, will at
tack hogs whatever they may be fed.
But if farm is free from it, and hogs
are fed milk and oats or wheat mid
dIings as well as corn, they will not
be troubled with it.-American Cultiva-

Rurning the strawberry Bed.

Burning over the strawberry bed is
work which some will not perform for
fear of injuring the plants. A grower
who desired to test the method piled
straw in the spaces of few of the
plants to the depth of six inches. The
foliage of the plants that were burned
over was of better color the next sea-

Gate that Will Not Sag.

Most farm gates begin to sag at the
outer end after little use, thus caus-
ing oftentimes much inconvenience. II
the upright at the hinges can be kept
rigidly in place, there is no reason why
a gate should sag if it is properly con-
structed. A proper construction is
shown in the accompanying illustra-

made of material too light to be

SUGGEST A TUNNEL.
One Way the Traction Company Might
Reach the Capitol.

Should a suggestion which has been made
be carried into effect Washington will have
what has never been seen here, an under
ground street railroad Since the Capital
Traction Company put in its cable line on
the avenue and 14th street branches, the
company has been cut off from running
into the Capitol grounds, much to the in
convenience of the patrons of that line
bound for the Capitol The company has,
1t is understood, long been DESTROYS Of run
ming its cars nearer to the Capitol building,
and that desire is said to be much stronger,
now that the road is to be shortly supplied
with an underground electric system. Pas
sengers on that line, bound for the Capitol
are now forced to alight either at the foot
of the hill or at New Jersey avenue and Is
street, while those on the Metropolitan
road are carried to within few steps of
the building on the Senate end.
The plan suggested is for an underground
line from the Peace monument through the
Capitol grounds to the basement of the
building. 1t has been suggested that GER
tain cars running from Georgetown or from
the 18th street terminus might run direct
over this proposed underground line, or
that passengers might be transferred at
the Peace monument to cars there. which
would be run over the underground route
to the Capitol building. In either event
tunnel would have to be constructed
through the Capitol grounds for some dis
lance. 1t has been suggested further that
in order to avoid interfering with the pres
ent walks that the tunnel should run either
a little to the north or the south of the
center walk For some distance, of course,
the cars would run on the level before en-
terng the tunnel, say. for hundred feet
or more. when they would gradually dis
appear from view into the tunnel.
1t is claimed on behalf of this under
ground route that it would not be a very
expensive one, ard that it would deposit
passengers in the basement of the Capitol
building, from which elevators would land
them any desired floor. The tunnel
could be made either single or double
tracked affair.
The talkcd-of tunnel has not as yet been
taken up il. any official way by either the
railroad company or any of the authorities,
but has merely been suggested by people
who are studying the street railroad situa-

A STRIKING EXAMPLE,
Diminutive Georgetown Gallant Who
Attended the Theater.

Dfmtnuttve Georgetown Gallant Who
Attended the Theater.
There was striking example of precocity
exhibited on Washington and Georgetown
last night. The car was rounding the
Peace monument from the navy yard about
1:3O. when 1t stopped. The passengers
could not see that any one wished to get
aboard, and craned their necks for a bet.
ter view.
The newcomer was boy, not more than
six or seven years of age He clambered
aboard as nonchalantly as If he had been
accustomed to remaining out without a
nurse at that hour of the evening all of his
life. He sat in a corner of the car pulled
quarter out of his pocket and demanded
tickets" with the air of a veteran. Then
he put his hands in his pockets and looked
out of the window.
The conductor scruunized the youthful
fare with admiration, and perhaps because
he was a father himself could not suppress
his curiosity.
You're out kind O. late, sonny, amt
yOu"' he asked smilingly.
"Oh, l don't know the youngster re-
piled. 1--WE just been to de t'eater." He
said this as If re had been used to 1t every
night.
The man of the bell punch chewed his
quid fer a little while and then, when a
new idea seemed to strike him, said:
why, the theater's been over an hour
Where have you been IN the meantime?"
We'll l guess 1 had to take my girl
home after the show, didn't To- the boy
answered. Then he told an inquisitive pas
senger he lived in Georgetown
Although he tried his best to keep awake,
tired nature was bound to assert itself
and the boy was fast asleep when the car
reached the treasury.
''Pll see that he gets horne all right" the
conductor told the other passengers who
were interested in the case. I've got some
kids CT my own"
