\ PLEA ron coon nAxNERa.
Seattle, Dsc. Il, 1881

Seattle, Dec. "a, 1897.
To the Editor: Permit this plea for q
kind answer to the man asking for "a
Job" Internationally, am sure, en-
ployers are often unkind to the man who
stands before sthem asking for employ
ment. The grun "No. We don't want any
help" takes the spirit out of the average
man, especially after 1t has been reiter-
ated fifty times In day.
With the married man. particularly, to
be out of work Is q serious matter. He
needs all the encouragement that can be
given him. Put yourself in his place. Try
to feel what the laboring man feels whose
toddling babe-named after its father-at
eventide throws Its thin arms about his
neck and says, Papa, Use hungry" and
realize that you, though big and strong
and willing, are powerless to heed the cry.
Such man has enough to carry without
being made to feel by the tone of your
voice In replying to his request for work
that he has committed some sort OF an Of
Tense by asking for Job.
Ordinarily II doesn't take any more time
to refuse-if you must--a man kindly than
gruffly. while the effect upon the man is
as the difference between a summer
zephyr and winters blast upon a Their
mometer. Arm 8. ALLEN.

The Little Farm.

Six acres of land is not much of a
farm, but it can support a family in
comfort if intelligently managed.
A Santa Cruz, CAL, paper gives a
case-and it is not an unusual one
of man doing we'll on a plot of
ground as small as that.
when e. N. Stocking came to
California he was in search of health
and a living, but discouragement
stared him and his family in the
face. To find employment seemed
impossible, so he bought on the
Branciforte creek six acres of land.
He put the land out in vegetables,
berries and tree-fruit, and chicken
yard. With the combination OF
thrift, industry and economy, those
barren six acres of a few years ago
now fairly bud, blossom and ripen.
Last year 1866 were harvested from
patch of strawberries of one quar-.
ter of an acre and two rods. Just
think of it, We men who let the pen
MES slip away, and who cry hard
times! In the winter he confines
himself to raising chickens. Every
inch of ground he utilities and 4

Poultry Notes.

In raising poultry for market the
profit lies in Matching early, pushing
the chickens forward as fast as pos
sible and marketing early.
If egg shells are fed to fowls they
should be crushed very fine, other
wise the egg eating vice may be in
troduced into the poultry yard.
When oats are fed to fowls they
neither enervate nor fatten. They
make a good ration to feed to over
fat hens-too fat to lay well.
Lime will kill lice; it is a good
disinfectant; it will purify the air
1t will MAKE the poultry house clean
and free from vermin of all kinds.
Half breed chickens, where
Plymouth males are used, will grow
faster and reach the broiler size
sooner than dunghills. They will
also be larger and finer fowls al
maturity.
Geese cost very little if allowed
the liberty of the fields, with access
to a pond or stream with its usua
vegetation. To attempt to make
them profitable otherwise the result
will be questionable.
Cholera never bothers ducks
neither do roup nor gapes. Hawks
do not modest them. They lay NOR,
eggs and will hatch better thar
hens. With good feeding they car
be made to weigh FIVE pounds in tel
weeks after Matching.

THE LUETGERT CASE.
The Jury in This Famous Trial Could
Not Agree.

The Jury in This Famous Trial Could
Not Agree.
CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-The Jury in the
sensational Luetgert murder case,
after being out many hours, could
not agree, and have been discharged.
There were nine for conviction and
three for acquittal.
The Luetgert trial has been one Of
the most noted in criminal history.
Adolph Louis Luetgert, who has
been wealthy manufacturer of
sausage and had recently failed in
business, losing much of his fortune,
was arrested May II, charged with
the murder of his wife, Louise.
Mrs. Luetgert disappeared from her
North Side home May /, but the
fact was not reported to the
police until her brother started an
Investigation a week later. Accord
ing to the theory of the prosecution
the murder of Mrs. Luetgert by
her husband was a horrible one. 1t
was asserted by the state that the
sausage maker, having tired of his
wife and desiring to marry Mrs.
Christine Feldt, wealthy widow,
had enticed the missing woman to
the basement of his factory on the
night of May l and then, after a ter
rible struggle, killed her with club.
After the murder, according to the
prosecution, Luetgert placed the
body of his wife in one of the huge
sausage watts with a quantity of
caustic potash, and boiled the body
until it had almost entirely disap-
peared, sitting by the vat through
out the night, alone and on guard.
Soon after the police took charge of
the case the sausage vat was drained
and several bones, two rings and
some corset steels were found. Up
on this evidence the state based its
case.
Over the Identification of the
bones a desperate battle of expert
opinions was waged, the identified
tions ranging all the way from the
statement that the bones were those
of woman of about Mrs. Luetgert's
size to the assertion that they were
plainly all that was left of a pet dog
of the Luetgert family. The expert
| testimony alone cost the state $1,000,
and the entire cost of the trial to the
prosecution is estimated between
$4,000 and 100000.
