the United States attorney.
DR.. Larkin w. Glazebrook, the deputy
coroner for the District of Columbia, who
next took the stand, described autopsy
he performed the body of Dent the
10Th of July at the morgue. The deceased,
so testified the witness, was a man Of eX-

to DR.. GlaZebrook, was necessarily and
almost Immediately fatal.
story of the Alleged Murder.
| When the trial was resumed shortly be-
| fore o'clock succeeding recess, Thomas
w. Grayson, colored, subscribed to the oath
as a witness, and told the story of the al
legged murder he claims he it. The
evening of the 18th of last July, Gray
son, Doyle and Dent were among the men
employed at the stable of the United States
Express Company, on G street near police
headquarters
| The witness and Doyle had a friendly
quarrel, during which Dent interjected
a remark. Dent followed Doyle along
passageway and said: Charlie, l believe
am better man than you are
Doyle went into the harness room, wit
ness said, and came out a moment later
with razor in his hand Doyle showed
Dent against post and exclaimed:
IF you open your mouth I'll cut your
throat
The witness told Doyle to let Dent loose
and stop footing with the razor or some
body might get hurt. Doyle returned to
the harness room and Dent followed him
part of the distance. He said to Doyle:
"Cowards fight with razors. You can't
scare me with razor anyhow
Doyle then made a slash, cutting Dents
throat
On cross-examination Grayson admitted
that two years ago he had a quarrel with
Doyle, after which Doyle stopped working
at the stable.
The examination of this witness had not
been concluded when The Stars report
closed.

the phrase was suggested to anglers by
the eastern metaphor ITO swim In

"And, gentle sir, when you do come to
swim in golden lard" (B. Jonson, :'The

Webster gives 1t as colloquial and
saws the meaning is ito be in favored

tionary also classes the phrase in the
same way and describes "the swim" as
''the current of social or business
events; the tide of affairs; the circle or
those who know what is going on"
The Dictionary of Phrase and Fable
gives the origin as from an anglers
phrase and says, "a lot of fish gathered
together is called a swim, and when an
angler can pitch his hook in such a
place he is said TO be in a good swim. "

A Story of Lincoln.

During Mr.. Lincoln's practice of his
profession of the law, long before he
was thought Of for president, he was
attending the circuit court, which met
at bloomington. Ills. The prosecuting
attorney. lawyer by the name of
Lamon, was man of great physical
strength, and took particular pleasure
in athletic sports, and was so fond of
wrestling that his power and expert
ence rendered him a formidable and
generally successful opponent.
One pleasant day in the fall Lamon
was wrestling near the courthouse
with some one who had challenged him
to a trial. and in the scuffle made n
large rent in the rear of his unmention-
ables. Before he had time to make any
change he was called into court to take
up a case. The evidence was finished,
and Lamon got up to address the jury,
and, having .on somewhat short coat,
his misfortune was rather apparent.
One of the lawyers, for joke, start
ed a subscription paper, which was
passed from one member Of the bar to
another as they sat by a long table
fronting the bench, to buy pair of
trousers for Lamon, "he being" the
paper said, "a poor but worthy young
man." Several put down their names
with some ludicrous subscription, and
finally the paper was laid by some one
in front of Mr.. Lincoln on plea that
he was engaged in writing at the time.
He quietly glanced over the paper ana
Immediately took up his pen and wrote
after his name, 81 can contribute moth

The main thing which has been de-

its proper solution will mean much to
the people in the utilization OF their

Large sums are invested In farm

possibilities without a more equal dis
tribution OF water throughout the
growing season.

IRRIGATION IN THE EAST,
Up to Date Farming Calls For q Coff~i
stant Water supply.

The character Of the farming In
many parts Of the east and its increas-
ing tendency toward the production OF
crops Of relatively high value have led
those who have studied the question
carefully to the conclusion that In q
great many cases and for the present
h small irrigating plant, which shall be
sufficient to supply the needed water
for a small area, say eight to ten acres,
is, all things considered, the best line
of work.
Professor T.. B. voorhees, of New Jer-
sey has probably made as practical Q
study Of the irrigation question for the
east as any one who could be named,
and he states that the actual results
secured from such plants already es-
tablished are at least evidence that
this line of work possesses q primary
Importance because promising quicE,
and relatively profitable returns,
though small because the undertaking
is small. At least q dozen Of such
plants, he says. are in operation in the,

American Gardening that better quail

grown on the trained plants than on
those allowed to spread freely and an
earlier crop.
The slugs which often attack the
leaves of fruit trees after midsummer

HORSE RAISING.

Why Farmers 'sl- II Produce Raw
Material F'or t-orseIncn.
VIII. p far.Aer y 40 is net a horse
man cannot produce and should let
fast horses aloae, he has certain ad
vantages as hcrse producer that
ought to Be recognized and that ought
TO shape his course. These advantages
are: a. y large amount Of cheap feed,
which puts this Industry on much the
same basis IS beef production and
leads to tie common statement that it
costs but little more 10 crow u horse
than to grow Il steer; % abundant
range for proper CNSrcise Of growing
animals; CD lie is himself an extensive
user Of horse labor. Here Is On impor-
tant matter.
The market calls mainly for geldings,
and | take it that. broadly speaking,
our farm work should be largely done
by mares that are fully able also to
produce q foal each year. The feast
bllity of this plan has been abundantly
shown by experience. Farm labor is
not so severe nor so constant as to pre-
clude the use of breeding mares. In
fact, the farm horse should be
breeding animal to fully occupy her
time and pay for her maintenance dur.
Ing the long periods Of short work and
comparative idleness.
On n farm of moderate size like, at
least, one span of geldlngs that are al
ways ready for any kind of work, but
1t is expensive to keep horse year
for what he can do the working sea-
son, and | have found breeding mares
entirely satisfactory and far cheaper.
Besides, one can afford a surplus Of
this kind of horse power, which is fire.
quently almost necessity for limit
ed time
l expect to meet with the objection
that it is too much trouble to raise
foals for working teams, but that mat
ter is greatly magnifed In mems minds.
To be sure many farmers owning both
smooth and rough lands may be able
to let the mares run Idle and do the
work with geldings, but 1t is possible
only on cheap lands.
Putting it from the other side, the

birth to a horse that will go upon the
markets to do the ordinary work of
the world-that mare must do some
thing besides all this; she must work
or the horse will cost too much, and
farm work is well adapted to her con-
ditions.
Not being a horseman, the grain
farmer should confine his efforts to the
production Of such classes of horses as
require plenty of good feed and care,
but little or no artificial development.
He is admirably adapted to the busi-
ness OF raising heavy horses, though he
will not care to keep ], 800 pound mares
for farm week. He can use 1900 to
1900 pound mares, which, If good
mixers, with the proper sire, will pro-
duce an excellent class of heavy horses.
With the right sires he can keep and
proftably use q class Of mares that
will produce good delivery horses, hack
and bus horses and q fair grade of gen.
tlemen's drivers.
All these horses will need to be de-
veloped after leaving the farm, but 1t
can produce the raw material and
ought to do it.-E. Davenport in Re-
port of Kansas Board Of Agriculture.

Al, hear the meaning over there,
The sudden, bitter cry Of paint
The smell Of drugs in In the air,
Deaths shAdcw on the wall is plain.
And by tie window, STOPPING down,
A nurse with fluffy locks and brown
Looks in the eyes OF one who lies
Half propped in many 8 snowy fold
And, blushing. holds willing ear
Close TO his eager lips to hear
A story that 10 ages old.
The doctor grayely shakes his head
And bends above an ashen face;
A widow, wailing for her dead,
In led half fainting from the place,
And over there ieweled hand
Is weakly raised TO give command
And weakly falls, and through the halls
Death PAGES slowly, loath to leave,
While still the nurse beside the cot
Bents lower, listening TO what
Exultant Adam told to Eve.
Death stopped last night behind that screen
And smoothed a martyrs weary brow
Where one with new hope looks between
Soft pillows at her baby now.
And over there beside the door
Lies one whom pain shall reach no mors.
Whose work is DONE who ere the sun
Goes down shall soar dunbly rest,
And she that biushing bent above
Yon cot goes dreaming dreams OF love
To cross two hands upon breast.

Cr0n ghrfnkRQe.

Among the many lessons which the
Michigan station extracts from its In
vestigations into corn shrinkage is the
one that if a definite number Of pounds
of corn in the ear is to be recognized as
q bushel a wise farmer will sell his
crop in the fall.
Oats when thrashed, after passing
through the sweating process in the
stack or NOW, appear to shrink but
little thereafter.
Hay when put In the NOW varies
greatly In the amount of moisture 1t
contains, depending on the weather In
which it is cured. In the dry climate of
the west the shrinkage is usually
smaller than In a comparatively hu-
mid climate of the eastern states.

The Sense of Smell,

Experts in the manufacture Of per-
fumery say that the sense of smell can
be developed just as acutely as the
sense of sight, hearing, taste and touch.
This would seem paradoxical, for 1t is
a well known fact that after smelling
five or six different perfumes the uned-
ucated nose so loses its power that abil-
ity to distinguish odors Is entirely lost.
This to degree is true Of the educated
nose, but its power lasts longer. An
expert is able by putting drop or two
Of perfume on a bit of cotton to tell
what it Is and just what extracts enter
into it's composition.
