from the other direction. When he
saw the men he was so frightened that
he stopped short right there in the run

was just second too long. Both the
rifles cracked and the deer dropped
dead. The hunters skinned and dressed
him, and then they talked about what
they had better do with the carcass.
They were going to look at some bear

IL with them.

Consumed IN one Year.

Albany, n. Y.-The Commissioner
of Agriculture in his annual re-
port to the Legislature states that
comparatively little oleomargarine was
sold within the State during the past
year and that in all probability near
ly all that was exposed for sale was

department. \ majority of these cases
detected were in the city OF New
York.
In speaking of the milk laws the re-
port announces that AGO violations or
the law were detected during the year.
The amount of milk received in New
York City during the year 1901 was
1i,000.0O0 iO-quart cans.
The Commissioner reports the
amount of sugar beets raised in this
State during the year for manufacture
into sugar in the aggregate was about
41,000 tons. and that from this will be
manufactured about 100000 pounds
of sugar.
About 400 head of cattle have been
tested with tuberculin for tuberculo-
sis and thirty horses have been tested
with MULLEN for CHAMBERS.
Relative TO the determination of the
San Jose scale. the reports says that
400 certificates were issued 10 nursery
men on inspection of 7156 acres OF
nursery and pa acres of vineyards.
and that the number OF fruit trees
inspected was 32,162 .60i. as against

THE Chipmunk was curled u
on q log in the sunshine fas
asleep, and the Canada Lynx
youngest son was watchinj
him. The Kittens eyes were CLEAN
ing. His ears and his tail twitchet
nervousIy, and he was crawling nearer
and nearer-slowly, stealthily, step by
step. And now he gathered himself
for spring, crouched for an instant
on the ground and jumped. The Chip
munk struggled for a moment and lay
still, looking up piteously into the cx-
cited eyes that were glaring down
upon him.
Mother" called the Kitten, "come
here. I've got nice, fat cbipmunk." b"
There was a rustic among the dry
leaves and the Canada Lynx came run
ming through the woods. The Kitten
turned his head to look at her. His
paws relaxed the least bit, the Chip
munk gave wriggle and twist, and
In another second little striped body
had vanished down hole between the
roots of birch tree.
"Oh! Ohw cried the Kitten, "he's
got away"
He poked his paws into the hole
and pretended that he was still try
ing to catch the Chipmunk, but he
could no more have followed him down
that narrow, winding burrow than he
could have curled up like a bee in
side Of a moccasin flower. He was
ashamed Of himself, and rather fright
ened, too, for his mother was apt to
be severe with him, and he knew that
she would be very much disgusted.
You're n great hunter, you are"
said she, scornfully. Cant you hold

Saum howard, of Newton, and Jay

story of the matter as given out in this
place is that Colonel Wilson, of Lin
coin, Neb., died over year ago. No
will was found although George A. 5I1ib-
her, a Lincoln attorney, averred that
one had been drawn up. He declared
that the original had been lost, stolen
or destroyed, and George w. Covert
filed a petition in the county court ask
ing that the alleged will be admitted to
probate. Wilson had three sisters and
one brother. These object to the move
OF Covert, as do a portion of the neph-
ews and nieces, making in all three
cornered batch of disputants.
In the absence of the will the proper
ty would so to the next of kin, one
seventh being allotted to each of the
four near relatives of Wilson. To the
nephews and nieces would go fraction
al portions of the amount due their
parents.
