''The graveyard in Georgetown,

RADIO politician, 'sby burying a man
who was lynched. He was a bad
character, and made himself very dis
agreeable in many ways. Finally he
shot q saloon keeper there, and the
boys, supposing that the saloon keeper
was dead, organized a lynch court and
executed him in very short order. At
ter they returned from their lynching
bee the saloon keeper showed some
signs of life. By the most careful
kind of nursing he recovered from his
injury. The boys then saw that they
had made a mistake; that a life should
not have been taken except in return
or a life, and they raised quite a large
sum of money and sent it to the fell

first planted in a gully, it was after

In Perthshire lately, workmen en-

dried in the sun, when it was found to

1t is an incontestable fact that the
high character of English agriculture
depends greatly on the culture of root
crops. Not only for the value Of the
crop for feeding, but for the excellent
result to the culture of the land, which
is felt all through the rotation. II
goes by the well applied name of a
cleaning crop, that is, one by which
the land is freed from weeds, which
are the great obstacle Of successful
culture with us. But the crop itself
is the foundation of successful feeding
of cattle and sheep. We think yery
highly of the silo, not at all too much.
for it is n Of the most economical
and effective additions to our agricul-
ture, and the American Agriculturist
earned o deep debt of gratitude from
every American farmer for its advo-
cacy of this addition to the resources
of American farms when, more than
twenty years ago, it was the first to
bring the silo to the attention of our
farmers. But not that we should value
root crops the less, for these make an
indispensable addition to the crops of
the farm. In addition to their value
for feeding, however, we must think
Of the future of this culture as leading
directly and u~navoidably to the estab-
lishment Of the sugar-making industry
here. We need this as an addition to
our as furnishing our sup
ply of this indispensable food, which
it is, and in no tense a luxury, and as
soon as farmers learn to grow roots
for feeding, then the sugar beet cul-
ture will follow as a matter Of course,
and the vast sun of money sent
abroad for our supply will be kept OF
home and go into the farmers'pockets.
The great beauty of the sugar beet
crop is that what is not sold to o fac
tory al be fed at a profit, while the
beet pulp is m Of the best Of stock
foods.

cHoKso BY HIS WHEEL.
Very Peculiar Accident That Resulted In
the Deatl, of a Chicago Cyeiist.

One Of the most peculiar accidents in the
history of cycling recently took place In
Chicago. Dezlre Bruno, an expert rider
and a builder of bicycles, was ehoked to
death by his wheel falling heavily on his
Iarynx. All kinds of injuries have been re-
ported in the cycling world, but nothing
quite to equal this. Bruno, In his day, had
been a fast rider, and wore eight gold
medals that he Lad Won in as many races.
He wis one OF the first advocates ofthe big
sproeket wheel, n never was better
pleased thar when he was riding a ma
chine with a front sprocket at least ten
inches In diameter. He was entered in
the six-day bicycle race at Chic lgo last
winter, but was disqualified for foul riding
before he had accomplished much.

A Contrary Flag.

r.
\ Il ever there was anything in the
world thatSwent by contraries, it is the
Chinese flag. 1t will be recalled that it
is one Of the gayest of national stand
ards. The body Of the banner is Of a
pale yellow. In the upper left hand
corner is a small red sun, and looking
at it is a fierce Chinese dragon. About
Loco years ago, SO the story runs, the
Chinese made war upon the japanese.
They prepared for a great invasion. AS
q prophecy OF victory they adopted a
standard which is that of the present
time. They took the sun Of Japan and
made it very small. This they put in
front Of the dragons mouth to express
the idea that the Chinese dragon would,
devour the japanese. It happened, how
ever. that the Chinese feet, conveying
an army Of loo, 600 men, was wrecked
on It's way to Japan by great storm,
and all but three of the 100, 900 perish
ed. The result of the last war has not
been any more convincing than the
first affair that the Chinese flag has
been correctly conceived. - Pittsburg

How q $50 Goldpiece Was Doctored by

One of the most puzzled men in town
is Montgomery street restaurant keep
er, who recently took ina $40 goldpiece
which filed all the ordinary require
ments of commences SO far as the su-
perficia1 test could reveal the true facts.
But a few days ago banker stepped
into his place. and saw the $40 piece
which the restaurant man had received
only short time before. The banker
had u queer look in his eyes as he took
the coin and raped it sharply with his
knife, and the restaurant keeper had a
stranger expression as he saw his sup
posed $40 piece break into two pieces.
'sHow is this?" he demanded.
The banker answered.: cit is the
same old game. I had one of those
pieces myself, and since then I have
tested goldpieces Of the $40 denomina-
ton very carefully. If that had been
genuine, my test would not have broken.

Then the restaurant keeper and the
banker carefully examined it together.
The outside of the goldpiece was all
right, seemingly, when the discovered
parts were placed together. The milling
seemed to be up to the standard. The
weight was correct, but the inside of
the piece was half filed with compo-
sition which was not the customary
gold and alloy. Still closer examination
revealed that the gold had been sawed
through with exquisite care and skill
just inside of the milling. Then the
milling had been removed and from the
interior of the piece some of the gold
had been extracted and the baser COM
position was made to take the place of
the more precious metal. Then, with
equal dizziness and skill, the milling
had been replaced and soldered in some
way aud the. trick was done. San

REWARDS OF MERIT.

James H. Macdonald, chairman of the Republican town committee, was last evening reelected chairman with out opposition and with unanimous and hearty approval. This action was a merited recognition of faithful, earn est, self-sacrificing and honest work for the Republican party It was also a merited recognition of skill and effi- ciency that are as rare as they are helpful. All who are acquainted with the practical side of politics in this town know how industrious, ingenious, shrewd and fair MT. Macdonald mas been in his work as party manager. They know that he has not sunk the good citizen in the politician and that he has not fallen into the pits that abound in what is called politics His thous- ands of friends in both parties will be pleased that his merits as leader are so heartily recognized, though his Dem- ocratic friends will not be particularly pleased with the prospect that they are to have him to fight
 Honors for Mir. Macdonald appear to be abundant In these days. The re- port comes from Hartford that his name will be sent into the Senate to- day by the Governor for the place of Highway Commissioner under the new law and that he is certain of confirma- tton by the Senate This will be anoth- CT reward of merit. MT. Macdonald has put the same energy, faithfulness and honesty into his work as Highway Commissioner that he puts into all he undertakes, and the Governor will be thoroughly in accord with public opIn- ion in making him the new commits sioner. It is largely due to MT. Mac donald's efforts that the good roads movement in this State has made pro- gress. It is to be hoped that the new law will not work against it, as some think it will.

4 LESSON FROM LONDON,

Again it appears that new charters, etc., do not necessarily make good gov ernment
 The Progressive party in the county affairs of London has adopted the policy that public work had much better be performed under direct official control than through the instrumentality of contractors. In the practical develop ment of this policy the works depart tee of the council, has undertaken sev- eral large operations, with results that tory. The works committee has ar ranged to have building operations car ried on by day labor, the works de- partment employing the needed me chanics. But it has been found that for one reason or another, either be- cause too much was imposed upon cer- tain supervising individuals or the judgment of these individuals was not good or the scrutiny o: the owners eye was not felt as a check upon oper- ations, or for other equally good req sons, the work has been poorly done and the cost of performance unduly large This has led to an animated de- bate in the county council, and, al though the Progressives by mar row majority prevented the entire abo- lition of this method of carrying on public work, the implied censure, in view of aroused public opinion, will probably prove effective in restricting for some time to come the scope of what might be termed municipal un- dertaking. In the great provincial cit ies of Great Britain, such as Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham and Liver pool, variety of quasi-pubIic enter prises have been entered upon and sue cessfully carried out under municipal control. In London, the conditions
