For some time the Sunday school
teachers Of the Arlington Street church
or Boston have been paid, and the plan
Is said TO work well. The pastor, the
Rev. Paul Revere rockingham, says:

"The Story"-Retold.

There lived in Kansas City, Mo-, 4,
worthy young man who met and
loved a beauty of the city. with
whom he contracted marriage in
good faith, but afterwards learned
she was false to him, and declined
complying with the contract.
This great beauty belonged to
not the best family in the city, by
any means. The father and two
brothers, who are "bullies," forced
this young man, at the point of re-
volvers, to allow himself to be mar.
ried to the beauty. The young man
saw the condition he was in and
very naturally sought the best and
safest way out, which he recognized
to be via the "mum route" which
he followed until again at the point
of her fathers revolver he was
"held up" for $40, one months
board. Then the poor fellow, at
the risk of his life, instituted pro-
ceedings to have the forced marri-
age set aside. Hearing of this, tie
father, sons and daughter deliber-
ately planned and consummated the
killing in cold blood of this inno-
cent and defenseless young man.
The man was P. K. Kennedy, the
girl Lulu Prince.
The law knows a fitting punish
ment for this awful crime, and it is
hoped that Kansas City, although
not noted for Furnishing criminals,
will mete out justice in this case by
a hangman's knot to the principal,
and a long pen sentence to her ac-
cessories.

Feeding for Winter Eggs.

[C. H. WISE, IN NOR'WEST FARMERl
The great ambition of everyone who
keeps hens is to be able to procure
eggs during the winter months. The
accomplishment of this is the most
advanced step In poultry culture. Ev-
eryone can have eggs during spring
and summer, but to yet them during
winter is the question having great
consideration. The first thing to be
considered is, have you fed your grow
Ing stock with winter eggs as the OBJ
ject in view? The food consumed by
the hen furnishes feathers, flesh and
warmth for her body. The replacing
of her feathered coat in the fall calls
for an increased supply of the proper
food. If this is furnished the cOndi-
tions of nature continue in their nat
ural course; If not, some of the tissue
supply that is stored for an emergency
is consumed, debiitated condition
must result and count against the fu
ture winter eggs. II properly fed and
cared for during the molting period,
the old hen as we'll as the pullet, re-
turns more quickly to normal condi-
tion. The sooner this is accomplished
the sooner will they begin egg produc-
ing during late fall and early winter.
The main cause for hens failing to
produce eggs is the radical change OF
their surroundings in winter quarters;
1t issuch as to deprive them of the alb
solute necessities for egg production.
Feeding on one particular food all the
time will not produce eggs. If you
prefer an exclusive grain diet, give
them a variety of grains, and. see that
they have plenty of litter of some kind
on the floor to dig amongst for the
grain. Also supply green food of some
kind, plenty of fresh, clean water,
good, sharp grit, aud animal food such
as cut bone.
Consider for a moment the different
kinds of food the hen at freedom can
find, and supply as nearly as possible
the same ration, or its equivalent. The
nearer you approach the natural sum
mer food of the roaming hen, when
she produces eggs without anv effort
on your part, during the winter
months, the greater will be the egg
supply. Proper exercise is Of the
greatest Importance. Allgrain fed in
winter should be scattered in the lit
ter, such as cut straw or chat. The
continual hunt for grain gives the
exercise that is essential for the lay
ing hen.
No hen will produce eggs in winter
unless she has sufficient exercise to
keep her in good health and vigor. Idle
hens are mischievious, non-produc-
tive, grow fat and are lazy, giving no
returns for their food. When we fail
to give them inducement to dig and
scratch for their food we are response
BILE for their idleness.
