Can Kill Your Nelghbor's Chickens.

The sup eme court of the United
States as rendered decision in the
chicken ca ne carried up from Newton,
Iowa. One neighbor was greatly pes
tered by the chickens of another, who
thought that it was nothing for a
neighl or to get angry about to have a
few dozen chickens digging in every
soft place in his lawn and ornament
ing his board walks. The pestered
l-eighbor thought differently, however,
and Shot some of the chickens. The
matter went to law, and was carried
from court ~ta.e ea.t a-.ta il reached
the supreme court of the United States.
That body decided that man has a
right to rid his premises Of pests such
as chickens, when he does not want
them there, and classes all such fowls
as wild game, liable to be killed by
whoever wants to do so. This decision
should be read carefully by all of oul
readers who are interested in either
side of the chicken question,-eithel
the aggressive or the defensive side.

never been claimed that Chamberlain

it will cure rheumatism, and hundreds

Sketch of Willie Hogue's Life
Brothers Kindness and
Devotion.

Nothing has occurred in years at the
Industrial school which brought so
much sorrow, sadness and tears as
the death last Monday evening of the
little violinist, Willie Hogue.
He had never been robust boy,
having had curvature of the spine
since the first year of his life. For the
last two months he has been ailing
with weakness of the hearts action,
but it was only the last few days that
his condition was regarded as serious.
He came to the school from Leon in
1894 and was Is years old at the time of
his death. His brother Ralph two
years older, came with him and never
were brothers more closely bound to-
gether in bonds of affection than they.
Their heart. broken mother, who is a
widow, came Tuesday and took the re-
mains home, where they will be laid to
rest by those of his father, Rev. Hogue
who died when Willie was child.
Ralph%also went home to attend the
funeral, but will return in short time
and go on with his studies in music.
When these little boys came to the
school they brought with them their
violins and their delightful rendition Ct
the simple music with which they we're
acquainted was in great measure the
inspiration which later on led to the
| formation Of the excellent orchestra OF
the Industrial school. Willie was 6
charming performer on his violin and
had composed some music which coulC
hardly be expected Of his tender years
His brother and their violins were hi
every day companions during his sick
ness.
The institute trained nurse gave hin
the most tender care. Mrs. Miles KEEP
him supplied with flowers and after h
passed away she had made with flower
the design Of violin, which was pre-
sented to his mother as she took up he
sad journey home with the remains Q
her loved one. -Eldora Herald.
