There is only one woman chaplain in
the United States, and it is doubtful if
there is woman filling a similar posi-

penitentiary in Laramie, Wyo., has
this unique distinction. It's chaplain

A bill was introduced in the state
legislature in 1901 empowering the
state board of pardons to grant
paroles to life prisoners who had
served 25 years or more. The bill
was hard fought, but finally passed
both branches of the legislature and
was sent to Gov. Van SAINT for his
signature. The governor FAD three
days within which to sign or veto the
bill, failing which the act would be-
come law without his signature.
Before the three days had expired
the house recalled the bill and did
not return it to the governor until
the time for approval had elapsed
The state pardoning board, however,
of which the chief justice of the
state is member, decided that the
bill had become a law without the
signature of the governor, and on
July 10, 1901, upon recommendation
of the board of pardon commission
ers, parole was granted to Coleman
and James Younger, and on July IA
they were released.

A CAREER OF CRIME.
Story of the DepredatiOns of a Noted
Gang of Robbers.


James Younger was the youngest
of three brothers, Robert, Coleman
and James Younger, who between
the years 1866 and 1873 gained great
notoriety through their association
with Jesse and Frank James. The
band headed by Jesse James was
charged with innumerable robberies
of banks and railroad trains. in the
execution of which many desperate
encounters took place, and num-
Der of men were killed. The mem
bers of the band had served through
the civil war, fighting on the side OF
the confederacy with Quantrel and
his guerrilles. The scene of the
most of their alleged post bellum
depredations was the state of Mis-
souri, and those adjacent thereto,
but, in September, 1876, the band en-
tered Minnesota, traversing the state
as far as the little town of North
field, in Rice county.
The NorthfeId Affair.
There, on September z, after ter
rorizing the people on the street, an
attempt was made to loot the First
National bank. Cashier j. L. Hey
wood, who was in charge of the
bank, made a plucky fight to pre-
serve the funds of the institution
from the robbers, and during the en-
counter was shot and killed, not,
however, until he had wounded one
or more of the raiders
All of the three Younger brothers
had been wounded in the series of
battles that had marked their re-
treat, and to this day carry the bull

speedily to trial and on November
81, 1876, pleaded guilty to the charge
of murder in the first degree, this
plea, it is said, having been entered
in order to escape conviction by a
jury, which would have involved the
infection of the death penalty. The
brothers were sentenced to the Still
water penitentiary to serve life
sentence.
Beginning in 1889 efforts were
made to secure a pardon for the
brothers, it being pleaded that it had
not been proved that either of the
brothers had fired the shot that
killed Cashier Haywood and a fur
Their plea for mercy was based upon
the ground that Bob Younger was
dying of consumption. In fact, short
ly after these efforts were begun
Robert Younger died in prison.

Fertilization of Flower.

Insects are necessary to the fertil-
ization Of most flowers; and were 1t
not for insects, especially honey bees,
many of the crops we now have would
be wanting. There are . good many
flowers that produce pollen that has
no means Of getting from flower to
flower except by the medium of in
sects. On the other hand, some plants
throw of great quantities of pollen
without the help of the insects. Prof.
James Fletcher relates that when in
British Columbia some people came to
him and asked him to explain show
er Of sulphur that had apparently fal-
len during the preceding night. He
assured them that there had been no
shower Of sulphur, but that what
looked like sulphur was in reality the
pollen of pine trees.

NAMING THE FARMS.
One of the Many Good Things Re-
sulting from the Establishment
of Rural Delivery.

Letter boxes now appear at the
gateways of farms throughout many
districts in Illinois, along the coun-
try mail routes recently established
by the government, and one of the
first results of the innovation is de-
cidedly interesting.
No sooner had the mail boxes ap-
peared than the farmers began to
take a deeper interest in the gates
and the general style of entrances to
their homes. The boxes were new,
looked fresh, and seemed to give a
dignity to the gateposts that they
never possessed before. The con-
trast, in the great majority of cases
was not pleasing. particularly to the
womenfolk and the younger men,
and most of the farmers set about
making improvements which would
bring the surroundings up to the
standard of the letter box.
This was one step in the right d.
rection. Then it was natural that the
mail carrier sometimes made mis-
takes, because there was neither
name nor number to guide him in the
delivery of letters, newspapers or
packages. Some of the farmers
nailed up rude shingles" bearing the
names of the occupants of the house
at the upper end of the lane. Other
farmers ordered neatly painted signs
bearing the name of the head of the
house.
Now it appears from letter ad-
dressed to the Miledgeville Free
Press, progress has taken more de-
cided step along this line. The farm
ers in the vicinity are christening
their places and displaying the names
chosen in handsomely painted signs
on the gateposts. 81 have concluded
to name my place Midway Farm"
says the writer of the letter referred
to, mot because it is sporty or
tough, but because it is located lust
half way between Mlledgevlle and
Chadwick, also half way between
Lanark and Coleta."
Perhaps we are at last upon the
threshold of the time, so long looked
forward to in the United States, when
country life will take upon itself the
habiliments that adorn it in the older
lands. Perhaps the mail box and the
farm name are but the precursors of
other improvements, in the agricul-
fnral raninnc nL
United States country homes with
beautiful surroundings.-Chicago In

MANAGING A DROUGHT.
some Lessons Learned by an Iowa
Farmer During the Hot, Dry
Days of Last Summer.

that of corn-the result of the extreme
drought of the past, and the inability

son, and proven that they are very
ignorant in some things. How to man.
age these things that we may be ready
for such another calamity has been
theme of much controversy between
myself and brother farmers, and near
ly all agree that for corn and similar
crops, surface cultivation is the only
way, and if we cultivate often enough
to keep a good mulch of dust on top,
it will bring you through any drought
that visits this country with a good
paying crop. There is much fall plow-
ing being done, and with the thought
of dry season visiting us again next
year, We ask, in order to hold the most
water in store till cultivation begins in
the spring, should We plow deeper in
the fall than in the spring. In answer
to this it has been thought that deep
plowing would be the better for q
dry season. a. 1t loossns up the ground

may fall upon it, and retain the moist

more compact ground below will have
time to take up the water and hold it
in store for the coming crops, and
where the water goes, the air goes,
and these supply the growing crops
with nourishment. Another good way
Of keeping the land in good tilth, as
well as to assist in retaining he moist =
ure is to spread barnyard manure over
the field. Now the question arises in
our minds does manure make the land
richer, or does it put the humus into
the soil and make it loose. light and
friable, that it may bring forth abun-
dant crops? In time the land becomes S
hard and cloddy again and corn will
not grow, and to bring it back to n
corn-growing condition again, it can
be sown to clover. To sum it all up
it simply appears that the water ana
the shading are the principal rcOui.

| have known men to dig up whole

larger ones, when n little work in the
