The Fall of n Nan.

(from the Detroit Free Press)
Il wouldn't be here said the crook who
vas bound over the road, ''If temptation
hadn't been placed in my way"
I've heard that before" grufiy returned
the officer who had the crook in charge.
Il come from good family" continued
the crook without noticing the Interrupt
tion.
That's what they all say" growIed the
officer. as he examined the handouts TO
see IL they were secure.
Il started out in life with good pros
pects," sighed the crook.
They all do" grunted the officer
My fathers influence enabled me 20
secure a good position with a responsible
and prominent financial firm," continued
the crook, paying no attention TO the sneer
in the officers voice. Il had been given
a good education, and it was only a ques-
tion of time when l would rise TO a more
responsible position than / held at the
start One day the head of the firm called
me into his private Office and after making
sure that We were alone he said that he
had delicate and responsible mission for
me to perform. He was kind enough to
say that he had had his eye
on me from the time entered
the office and that he believed me
to be honest and trustworthy, and that the
undertake called for just such a man
felt fiattered and told him so. He went on
to say that it was imperative that an i'm
mense sum OF money, In fact si00 900.
should be in the hands OF his Chicago
agents before twenty -four hours had passed
and he had picked me out to perform the
delicate mission.
Il accepted the trust and took the first
train leaving with the package OF money
safely within my inside coat pocket. Now

had in my possession what to me was an
immense fortune. Well, yielded 10 temp

money to the agent in Chicago | kept on
and didn't stop until / reached the Pacific
Coast. l didn't open the package until !
was on board steamer bound for China
and then in the privacy of my stataToom
broke the seals and found nothing but a
lot of old paper with note from the firm
notifying me that l needn't bother to re-
turn. Well, l discovered later that that
miserable old reprobate made a habit Di
testing the honesty OF his clerks by send
ing them on errands and giving them the
idea that they were the bearers OF i'm
mense sums of money. II they delivered
the package they never knew the difference
and the old fool knew that they could be
trusted. II they yielded to temptation, a

peal to you. sir. If that sort of treatment
wasn't enough to make q man a crook foI
life?"

The Siloam Springs Herald gives the following as the orl- gin of the trouble which led to the killing:
 This neighborhood around Gallatin commonly called Georgia Flatt, has furnished eX citement and talk for the past twenty years, when the Mormon OF free love idea first was agi tated there. For years at a time it would be quiet and then break out in some new place. Only two weeks ago this same J. c. Butler was arrested by a warrant sworn out by his broth er-in-law. Mir. Freeman, charg- ing him with assault and pray. ing that he be placed under peace bond. Mir. Butler stood trial and was acquitted on ei- ther charge. It seemed this trouble was caused by this re iigion The Freemen outfit was in sympathy with the re, zion so we were informed while Butler was not. It resulted in the separation of Butler and his wife, nee a Freeman.

Berry Growing Philosophy.
lThe Southwest

Strawberry growers are expan- sIonists i'll the matter of enlarglng the markets and contractlonlsts Tn reference to the size of the berry fields. The size of the berry does not correspond with the size of the field. As rule the larger the field the smaller the fruit and the great CT the waste. The farmer with small acreage can save all his berries and hls receipts will be mostly profits, as he will have but little to pay out for labor. He should have large berries, and there IS little danger of glutting markers with fancy fruit. Many of the large plantations are thoroughly cultivat- ed but after all the labor and allow Ing the small berries to go to waste and the profits are generally small.
 All probaly realize that success III any buisness in these times de- mands the saving of the poorer grades the remnants. In the case of the fruit grower three times out of four his net returns will amount to what comes from the income from the 'sculls." It is ruinons to ship the small fruit, but is as good as the large for working up into preserves and juices and for eyap- orating. This can be done by large growers, of course, but as a rule 1t is not. The smaller growers by cooperating can work up the small fruit with little expense, and If they are determined to have thelr products extra in quality they will get large revenues from material that has generally been allowed to go to waste.

Killing of the Butler Girl.

J. U. Butler, who is in jail at Bentonville on the charge of having killed his fifteen-year old daughter near Robinson a few days ago, mention of which was made in THE NEWS last week, gave his version of the affair as follows at the pre-
 liminary examination:
 That they retired on
 Friday night about 10 o'clock. The two girls and a baby slept in the north room, he in the room adjoining and the boys up stairs; that between 12 o'clock and ? o'clock that night he was awakened by the younger girl screaming that some one was hitting Osie with a club. He sprang out of bed, jerked open the door and saw a man climting out of the win dow at the head Of the girls bed He jumped and ran out on the back porch in time to see the back of a man turn the corner of the house and run for the back gate; that he fired twice at the man before he reached the gate; that the man continued to run and vanished Tn the bushes at the back of the house. He then came back into the house and found what had been done. He sent the boys away to arouse the neigh. bors and sent the girl and baby up stairs.
 The boys knew nothing other than that they were aroused by the gunshots and come down to find their sister butchered The girl that was sleeping with the victim says that she was awak ened by | the struggle and called to her father; that if any one climbed out of the window she does not know it, neither does she know whether her father answered from his room or the room where the murder took place. On the path lending from the back gate down to the spring, by way of which the supposed man ran, was found about , steps from the gate a round pool of clotted blood. On down the path a short distance was found a similar pool. The doctor says It was human blood. Drops of blood were found leading from the girls room back iuto Buffers room. The ax was thrown out the window at the head of the bed.
