One More Black CHAPTER.

The exposure of the criminal extrava-
gance Of the board of e%qualizers, as
published in The Journal recently was
a surprise even to those who knew that
Tennessee is the worst governed State
in the Union" The report of the COM
mittee more than confirms what Hon.
Jesse L, Rogers had said before and
it is o seen that more than sixteen
thousand dollars of the peoples money
has gone glimmering. 1t is 40 wonder
that our ring Governor thought it
would become necessary to increase
the State taxes; such extravagant
boards as that can't be kept going
without plenty of money.
Nearly two thousand dollars for
board bills; nearly five hundred dollars
for sleeping car fares; more than three
hundred dollars for livery bills; three
chairs costing one hundred and fifty
dollars; fifty two dollars for an Office
couch upon which tired equalizers
might rest their weary limbs; eighty
dollars for a directors table and so on.

WHY LEAVE THE FARM
A Sensible Talk for Boys Who Do Not Like
Agricultural Life.

A Sensible Talk for Boys Who Do Not Like
Agricultural Life.
A great many people are wanting to
get away from the farm because farm
ing a ceased to be very remunerative.
But II they flee to town or to the city,
hoping to find more renumerative EN-.
ployment, they are certain to be dis
appointed. The city is full of idle
oookkeepers, and would be clerks and
helpers OF all descriptions. For eyery
vacancy that occurs 90 men stand ready
to I'LL it, and that at a salary that will
not admit of much, if any surplus after
living expenses are paid. For the man
even well qualified for positions in the
city, the prospect at present is gloomy,
as there are no vacancies. But for the
maj unqualified by way of education
and special training there is at present
on promise whatever of fat jobs in the
city.
There is no reason why a boy raised
on the farm should make a farmer, if
he has no taste for farm life. Rut be-
fore starting outinto the world, he must
qualify himself well for the position to
which he aspires. The towns and cities
are dependent on the farms for fresh
and vigorous manhood, and it would
mean the ultimate downfall of the
cities if people should cease to leave the
farm. But before leaving the farm, be
sure you know what you want, and
that by reason of special fitness there
is a reasonable certainty of attaining
the desired end. If anyone leaves the
farm under the impression that there
are many advantages in..the city not
found on the farm, he will discover
later that the advantages of city life
are greatly oveTestimated, and that the
advantages of farm life have been
underestimated. Don't be discouraged,
we believe that agriculture is destined
to see better days. journal of Agri-
culture.

A LAWYERS'S TRAP.
A Witness Who Forgot All About the
Almanac.

'
Almanac.
A story of Abraham Lincoln's con
founding an opposing witness with an
almanac record of the moons phases
finds parallel in thecase OF Watterson,
recently acquitted on a charge of MUIR
der in an Iowa court. The main wit.
ness against him was one Delafied, who
swore he was working just outside the
window of the accused on the day of
the alleged crime, and saw Watterson
open a cupboard, take down a bottle,
move about as if preparing a potion,
and then administer the draught to
Mrs. Waterson, who died in great
agony later in the day.
A lawyer named Bradford, for the
defense, had asked the jurymen on ex-
aiming them as to competence if they
had faith enough in the weather bureau
reports to attach credence to them, had
found every man on the panel believed
the records were fair and reliable. The
State had not understood the drift of
these questions, but had not objected.
When it came to cross examining,
Bradford asked the witness Delafeld
what he was doing outside Waterson's
window, and he said he was digging
a cistern.
when did you begin digging that
cistern?n
November II, the day Mrs. Water
son died.
"How much did you dig that day."
"Oh, about three feet"
"What tools did you use?n
"a Shovel
And pickup

Work in o~vercoat?n
mo; my shirt sleeves. The day was
warm"
Have anything to drink"
Had a little pail of water on the
ground within reach"
Didn't it freezer"
No" The witness smiled scorn-
fully.
Then Bradford offered in evidence a
certified copy Of the weather bureau
report for November 10 and II, and
showed that the temperature had been
below freezing the first day and below
zero the day of the alleged crime.
The jury accepted the official docu
ment, and to that extent regarded the
witness as %impeached, for Waterson
was acquitted. Chicago Times Herald.
