Everyone likes to see homes sur

are afraid that by doing so they in

will be, therefore, of general interest
to learn that trees with leaves that
are long-pointed or spe~ar.shaped are
lightning-proof. This curious theory

oroop in fine weather and to a greater
1egree upon the approach of rain or
electrical disturbances. Trees that are
not upright in growth, but spreading
or dropping, are seldom struck, but
pines, oaks and Lombardy poplars are.
These aIe all upright.
Trees with thick, smooth upper GU
tucIe are struck often, without regard
to their height. Trees of this class
should not be planted near dwellings.
The coming of an electric storm may
often be detected by the dropping at
5itude Of certain plants and leaves;
they are one of natures many warn
ings Of coming events Plants that
I have noticed to droop before rain or
electric disturbances are the wild oxa-
lis, Canada or wood violet, wild vines,
parsley, vetches and the dicentras.
When the wild vine leaves droop AXE

the silver variety; willows, sumacs,
naples and the elm droop more or
less. The elm, often sixty or eighty
feet high, is rarely struck. Farmers
leave it when clearing the ground. It
is a thing of beauty and offers shade
to the cattle and safety during a
storm. The farmer Ices not under
stand why, but he knows the elms are
rarely struck with lightning"

The waiter said he could arrange 1t,
and the consul would be there to dine
with Mr.. Kelly at 6 o'clock.
when that hour arrived the smiling
Mr.. Kelly awaited his guest In the
dining room. No one else was In EVIL

premiership is not an Office by itself,
and it carries no salary with it, like
the other government ministerial po-
sitions. The premier must be some

Definite Via Chicago.
CHICAGO, Sept. 81. F. Marchand,
special attorney for the interstate
commerce commission, stated tonight
that capiases had been issued for the
arrest of the indicted men and will be
served Upon Mr.. Burt at Saginaw, upon
Mr.. Pennt at Toledo n upon Messrs.
Whitcomb and Johnson at Milwaukee.
Judge Munger, at Minneapolis, liked
the bail of each defendant at $1,000.
The act under which the bills are
found fixes the penalty Of a. fine not
exceeding $4,000, or Imprisonment In
the pentitentiary for a term not x
ceeding two years, or both, at the dis
erection of the court. 1t is understood
that the documents charge the officials
with unlawful manipulation of rates
with respect to flour and feed trans
ported to Eastern destination. Evil
dence is said to have been adduced to
show tina secret rates were given to
certain big millers, and h a domestic
flour was handled on the export rate.
The bills are also said to contain a
clause charging false billing as a
means whereby traffic was procured
for the two railroads involved.
Only Three Witnesses.
There were summoned as witnesses
before the grand jury thirty prominent
railroad officials and millers Of the
Northwest, but only three witnesses
were heard. These are said to have
been a Lake Shore agent at North
Amherst, Ohio; a flour-and feed dealer
at the same place and Auditor Smith,
Of the Interstate commission.

Judge Told Poor Mother He Wouldn't

Send Infant to Prison.
The New York Tribune tells the fol-
lowing story of Judge Jackson, of West
Virginia, the iron judge" as he has
been called. The judge has a soft spot
in his heart for women culprits. Many
of the criminal cases which he has to
dispose Of are moonshiners, from the
mountains. A woman SINNER" with
a babe in her arms, was one of a MUM
Der before him in Charleston. once.
Her story she told in her simple way.
To keep her babe and herself from
starvation she had made and sold a
little liquor, but she would never do
it again. The judge let her off with
gave her a moral lecture in his classic
style. and said he would not send that
baby to the penitentiary.
AT this ONE recess for luncheon
was taken, and when court reassem-
bled there was another woman with
a baby in her arms. Same result-a
light fine and no Imprisonment. An
hour later a third with a baby
in her arms faced the court. The keen
blue eyes of the p~atriarchal jurist now
opened wide. He called his marshal
and ordered an investigation. In a
few moments it appeared that the
same baby was doing service for the
three putative mothers.
IF it had not been in court" says
the judge, II should have had a good
laugh. AS it was, 1 had all I could do
to keep my face straight"
The women were called UP. They
confessedtheir little game 'twixt smile
and tears. The baby really belonged
to the first woman, and she didn't
think it would be so very wrong to lend
the child to her friends in distress.
Another lecture from the judge-a
terrible roarer, which frightened the
wretched mother half out of her senses
and then all three were let off with
promises to give over 'licit shilling and
the borrowing of babes for the purpose
of defeating justice.
1.-THE joke Of the thing was irresist-
ible," says the judge. who has a keen
sense of humor, and besides, I had
declared I would not send that baby to
prison."

/ latter he is also lol1 privy seal and
first lord of the treasury.
There are four lords of the treasury,
| and the first is usually prime minister,
| while the other three are known by
the well known parliamentary term of
Junior lords" Mr.. Gladstone's sew
eral partnerships were held on the
lines of the first lord only, and pre-
vious premiers, including Disraeli,
Melbourne and Lord JOIN Russell. also
held the premiership as first lords of
| the treasury. All the honors that peo-
pie receive from the hands of the king
are recommended in the first instance
by the premier, who, in his capacity
as the executive of the constitution,
for royal recognition, and the sOver-
eign ratiies all that is done by the
premier. The prerogatives Of the mon
arch are almost in effect those of the
prime minister, who has, as we have
just shown, the making of dukes and
lords and men and women with mi
nor titles; the making of the ministry
and of all the ambassadors and con-
suls accredited to the various
tries of the world. although the for
eign secretary has the first word in
these latter nominations, and he has
the nomination and appointment Of all
the principal and minor ministries of
the state and the political officers of
the household.
The king is the head of the church
in theory, the premier in practice.
When a bishop or other high dignitary
of the church dies it is the prime min
lister who looks about for a successor,
to whom he offers the vacant see, or
other ecclesiastical post, and on the.
latter's acceptance the gentleman's
name is recommended to the king. who
formally ratifes the appointment by
virtue Of his Office as head Of the
church.

ernor g~eneralships Of the colonies. The

standing that the industrial depression on
the continent has abated the activity in
this country. Every liner from the Clyde
and the Mersey is taking as much pig
iron to the United States as it cares to
carry. One notable feature is the large
quantity of pig iron n finished steel
which America is now drawing from this
country and Germany. The sales of pig
iron rose from 1000 tons in June to %, 400
tons in July and 24,800 tons in August,
practically all consigned to Philadelphia"

Despite the strong denials from the
general offices of the Wisconsin Central
at Milwaukee, it is a fact that at least
four officials Of the road have been in
dicted by the United States grand jury
at it's Minneapolis session.
Word was received in st. Paul yes
terday from an authoritative source
that President Whitcomb, of the Wis
consin Central, General Freight Agent
Johnson, Of the same road, and Presi-
dent Burt and General Freight Agent
Bennett, Of the Ann Arbor, had been
indicted by the grand jury.
Violate an Injunction.
The specific offense, according to this
report is the continued practice of that
from which they have been enjoined by
the interstate commerce commission.
The injunction was issued last spring
and was what might have been called
a blanket injunction, as it enjoined
nearly all the local roads from dis
eliminating and cutting rates on flour
south and east Of the Twin Cities.
The failure to obey the injunction
constitutes a violation of the interstate
commerce law and the men indicted are
liable to heavy fine If the cases are
proved against thin.
Up to last night no warrants for the
arrest of these men had been placed in
the hands of United States Marshal
Grimshaw and it is not thought that
the cases will come up at the present
term of the federal court.
Denial Is Made.
Tt is known that Special Attorney
Marchand, representing the interstate
commission, is willing. and
perhaps anxious, to have the cases
go over until the next term Of court,
at which time the officials above men
toned will be arraigned upon the in
dictment.
Local officials of the Wisconsin Cen
trail profess to be much puzzled by the
matter and claim that as far as they
know no Indictments have been re-
turned against anyone representing
