 In Waterbury, last week, Hubert Yer rier was again charged with selling oleo- margarine, and pleaded not guilty. Yer rier was convicted only a few weeks ago, but appealed the case to the District SOdAIs DAAS bOllu D Noble and Deputy R. 0. Eaton testified that they found 8 number of tubs of butter st Verrier's storehouse on South Elm street. They tasted of it and found it to be oleomsrgarine. Verrier set up the defense that he did not sell the but ter but delivered it to customers for the Vermont Butter Company. Judge Hun gerford found the prisoner gully and imposed fine of S60 and costs.

 ''It seems very wild, Humphrey"
 "It does, my dear; but less so to me, since have seen the woman. She looks ike Raphael Madonna, most sweet and tender creature. And then Jack Waldron knows his own mind"
 His verdict had been hopeful on seeing Mary. He had quite approved of his pupils plan of taking her home at once.
 Frankly, my lad,'' he said, 'I would rather the voyage were taken before she begins to recover. I wish I could say i that hoped you would come back here i; but think your wife will never take an other sea voyage. Her experience was too terrible"
 They were married, and went home. In little country cottage, far inland, Jack Waldron set up his first home. There, little by little, he won Mary back to perfect health. He did well, as he de- served, good fellow, and is now a dis tinguished specialist. They have two beautiful boys, and no one would ever imagine to look at their charming mother l the gap of years which lies between her and their father. I do not think Jack Waldron will ever find out that his wife is an old woman. He is one of the faith ful sort, and Mary Is always hls ideal woman. As for her, the light in her eyes when she looks at him is most touching and beautiful. They never talk of Australia, and Mary seldom goes within even sight of the sea. "There shall be no sea there'' is in her thoughts of Heaven.

of Heaven,

Frank E. Bowling of Naugatuck was killed by Conductor Bradley's train on the Naugatuck road which left Ansenia at 650, Saturday night. The train was coming down across the meadows and was about 75 feet above the Derby de- pot when the engine struck the man, who was walking on the track. Engineer Treat did not see the man, and it was not until after the train had started for New Haven that the accident was made known. Some persons walking up the track discovered the body lying beside the track near the Sterling organ con- pany's factory.
 A fire, Sunday morning, in Rockville, destroyed all the buildings on the west side of Market street, from Main to Brooklyn streets, except the Exchange block, American hotel and Hirst block. Total loss s30, 900. Insurance s2o,000. W. W. Wolcott, of Plantsville, was buncoed out of s53, last Tuesday, by a stranger who represented himself as a drummer for Sable Bros. of New York, leather dealers. The stranger said he had lot of extra heavy stock in Meri- den, which could not be taken by the or iginal purchaser, and which he would sell at very low price. Wolcott made out a check whichathe stranger induced him to have cashed.
 Miss Doane, school teacher of Middletown school, was surprised one day last week by the hilarious condi- tion of some of her pupils. The chil- dren were drunk and had to be sent home in carriages. An investigation showed that the children had found

think, 1 hope she knew me. There was such an appeal in her eyes as she looked at me before they closed in unconscious ness. She will probobly die without re- covering consciousness"
 "And what of the little child, John? ?"
 "That is for you to say, my child. I left him in charge of kind woman for the night. Tomorrow you must see him."
 ''John, do you think Fife sent him to comfort me?"
 You are rash, Mary, and you are very young. If you take charge of a child of that age it means losing great deal of your liberty, and you are but child yourself. Don't decide too hastily. l will have the child taken good care of if we decide he is not to come here"
 You know nothing about the father ?''
 "Nothing." The kind face darken ed shade. "There was nothing found on Susy to give us any kind of clue about her and she will not speak again. If Robert Waldron wants his child, let him find him. As for us we will think of the child as his mothers child, not as his fathers.
 The next day Mary saw the boy, a beautiful, healthy little child, who ran to her the minute he saw her, with a trust that went straight to her heart.
 John had left her with the child for while, thinking the decision would be more deliberate one if he were not present. When he opened the door after half an hours absence, a smile broke through the gloom of his face. Mary was sitting in the matron's low chair with the boy asleep on her lap. She put her finger to her lip as her brother en. tered, quite unconscious that she was recalling the charming gesture of the beautiful young mother in Sir Joshua Reynolds picture. She looked quite happy again for the first time since Eff fie's death.
 "Wellr' whispered the brother, com ing tiptoe to her side.
 "Isn't he a darling?" she said, look ing up at him with the radiant pride of motherhood.
 He smiled back at her.
 "I have discovered an excellent lady who will mother him.
 She gathered the sleeping head to her with sharp alarm, seeing which the man touched her cheek with a reassuring fin- fer.
 "There, my child, it was a stupid jest. I hoped your wishes would go with mine. He is an orphan, Mary. His poor little mother Is gone."
 People thought pr Daly rather mad when they heard that he had adopted g child whose mother had died in the hos pital, and shook their wise heads over Mary's passion for the child.
 ssLet her marry and have children Of her own, and she'n soon forget him, they said; while others suggested that in a few months Mary would be taken up with the pleasant varieties that att tracted other girls, and the child would be left to servants.
 Dr Daly had let it be known that the child was very distant relative, and only one or two people guessed that the child's mother had been the one love of his life. She had called her child after him, with perhaps late under standing of what she had given up for Robert Waldron's showy worthlessness.
 As the years passed, neither the doc tor nor his sister showed the least sign of marrying. Mary had grown into a nobly handsome woman. older than her years, said people, while she was yet quite young, but with such beauty Of

MODERN FARMING.
PROGRESSIVE METHODS.
A New ana Promising Industry inaugural
ell by Pennsylvania Farmer.


Timothy Wayne, a farmer IN the vi
cinlty of LaneSboro, Penn. has started
on new industry that promisestto be
remunerative. All the farms of North
ern Pennsylvania are covered with
rocks, and the powders are invariably
infested with rattlesnakcs Residents
or the vicinity have become used to
them, but the knowledge that the land
is plagued with the reptiles is a det-
riment, as it makes outside buyers shy.
One farmer offered $500 for plan that
would rid his farm OF snakes. Meth
DDS of all kinds were tried, and the
most successful was the use of pigs.
The porkers would attack and chew
UP the snakes, unmindful of bites,
which apparently had no effect The
snakes, however, soon gave up the
fight and when a pig appeared would
take to the powders.
Wayne has discovered that the pea
cock is mortal and implacable enemy
of the snake. He placed a pair in a
ten-acre lot, and in twenty four hours
they had killed fifteen snakes They
would search them out watching the
powders as cat would a mouse. The
rattlesnakes he used in making Oil,
which sells for 81 an ounce, and is
used to cure rheumatism. Wayne
thinks he has n good thing in CON
tracing to clear his neighbors' farms
OF snakes.

Tie old method OF planting celery in
trenches and blanching the stalks by
piling soil around them is not much
practised now. Various eXpedients
have been devised to blanch celery
cheaply. Much the best we know is to
have the celery planted as nearly as
possible on Il level surface. When the
stalks are large enough, place wide
buard. against the celery, holding
them from falling by piling soil against
the outside of the board protection.
This Viii hlanch the stalks and leaves
without causing rust, as soil is sure to
DO IN rainy season like the present.
