acres for $500 and he would think

the reward of hard work and well di /

sented paper on the advantages of the
farmers telephone line. He says that
the lines can be built at a cost of $40 Il
mile. He advises the use of only the
hest material and the installation OF
only the best instruments. The advan-
tages of telephones are such that he
says the farmers are delighted and
that neither they nor their families
would spare them. The farmers mu-
tual companies have about 200 miles of
lines In the county and have connec-
tons with all but two or three towns
in the county. About 500 farmers have

STATE EMPLoYMENT BUR EA US.

The State Employment bureau experi- ment seems to be working well. It cer- tainly is in Connecticut The office in New Haven is ably, courteously and kindly managed by MT. Josiah J. Lins- ley, and his skill and care benefit both those who want work and those who want workers. Good reports also come from the other offices in the State Three years ago the experiment of free employment bureaus was begun in H. linois. They are now established on a firm and permanent basis. Men and women of all vacations have made ap- plication for work at the three offices in Chicago and the one in Peoria, and in the great majority of cases positions have been secured for them. During the last year a total of 27,779 men and 14, ,134 women applied for help, and work was found for 23,S63 of the former and 12,S7O of the latter. For the three years that the offices have been in existence S9.536 out of 1o9,210 applicants were pro- vided with employment Of applica- tions for assistance there were 56,301, and 43,517 of these were aided. In Kan sas State board of similar nature has been in operation only little over a year, and yet it has demonstrated it's usefulness, and is a success. Thou sands of men and women seeking posi- tions have secured them through this agency. It has proved of especial value in securing labor for Kansas farmers.
 This is kind of paternalism that will not be opposed if it continues to work well. It's benefits so far are many and apparent.

CHARLES EARTH EFT AxDREWs

l CHARLES BARTLETT 4 ADREUS.
 The. news of the sudden death of
 Charles Bartlett Andrews, eX-Governor
 and ex-Chief Justice of Connecticut,
 was not great surprise to those who
 knew of his feeble condition. Perhaps
 if he had not undertaken the hard and
 worrying work of presiding over the
 constitutional convention and trying to
 get it to do what he thought it ought 1 to do he would have lasted longer. But 1 he lived a long and useful life. He was | born in 1884. After he had become a
 good lawyer his fellow citizens thought he would make good public officer,
 and as early as 1868 he was elected to 1 the State senate and in 1878 he was one | of the representatives from Litchfield in the general assembly. In the fall of
 that year he was nominated for gover-
 nor when the outlook for his election was not good. But there was no elec-
 ton by the people. and he was chosen by the legislature. His successor ap- pointed him a judge of the Superior
 court and in 1889 he was made chief
 justice of the Supreme court. in which place he served until last October, when his resignation took effect. Since De- cember 1, 1901. he has been State referee
 MT. Andrews long career has been honest, industrious and fruitful. He earned the rewards which his merit re-
 ceived. His conception of public duty
 was lofty,a and loftily carried out. Con- necticut has had few more able or more efficient public servants. His work in the courts was of high and lasting quail ity, and it will be his best memorial. By that work he upheld justice and be- came a teacher of this and other gen. erations. The lawyers of Connecticut owe and will owe him much for his sound and lucid opinions, and for the
 example he set them as a lawyer and a judge. He will be long remembered for
 his character, his ability and the qual- ity of his public work.

RIG.

How big is J. P. Morgan. that people call him great? Well. he is pretty big, and some indication of his size is given by the editor of Moody Manual of Corporation Securities. who has been studying hls latest volume of facts for the purpose of tracing out the measure of J. P. Siorgan's immediate. active power in the financial world. He finds that Mir. Morgan's influence is paramount in 55,555 miles of railroad, or over one-fourth of the total mileage of the country; that this mileage is capi- talized at s3,OO2. 949. .57l; that he domi- mates the United States Steel corpora tion with capitalization of sl.3S9,3 ,339, 556, and three minor trusts; and that he is now to control a steamship com bination of a capital at the start of S17O. .0OO,OOO. The total,capitalized pow CT Of Morgan is represented by S4,7S7.- 2SO. O.527-this aside from the influence which necessarily radiates put in all di- rections from so colossal a concentra- tration.
 What can be done with him, or what will he do with us? Time will tell. Meanwhile, both those who rely on him and those who fear him can be sure that he will be dead pretty soon.

bers Of the household Of William w.. and of this seven six are females. Wo- men do not by any means, however,
 monopolize the British pension list.
 For instance. a ''moneyer's apprentice" who was pensioned in 1851 at the rate of e15O per annum is still alive, and is
 reported to be in good health. As he
 was pensloned at the rate of e150 per
 annum he has drawn over $3S,0o0 from the public treasury. In 1854 clerk was
 retired from the national debt office ow- ing to ill-health, but he is still on the
 pension roll There is a messenger in the lord chancellor's department who has been drawing e2OO per year since 1892. Two brothers were pensioned in 1851, and both are TOW alive, one aged Ininety-six, the other ninety-four. The greatest record of all is of one of the
 chief clerks of the law courts. who was retired in 1864 at the age of seventy, and as his pension has been drawn reg ularly he must now be one hundred and eight years old.
 A pensioned life and a long one is the
 rule in this country too. Last year there were on the pension list of the United States nine persons, four wld- ows and five daughters. drawing pen
 sions for the Revolutionary war, while one survivor and no less than 1927 wid- ows were drawing pensions for the war of 1872

prey Is sometimes found dried up on the thorns where it hung long ago.
 The nest Uf the northern shrike is made chiefly of twigs and grasses. in a low tree or bush. The eggs, usually six in number. are about an inch long. and white. thickly marked with brown and lavender.
 In the days of falconry the si1rike was used by those engaged in snaring hawks. as a sentinel to advise them of the approach of the birds they wished to capture. Tn October and November. when the hawks were migrating to the warmer parts of Europe. the falconeFs would build for themselves low turf huts out in the open country. In small holes in the ground, at a distance of about hundred yards on each side of the hut. were placed two light-colOred pigeons, which, by means of strings reaching to the hut, could be pulled into the open, and within range of two low nets, also operated by strings leading to the hut. The shrike was placed on a little hillock of turf at 9 short disance from the hut He was fastened by a leather thong attached to his leg, and nearby was a hole in the turf into which he could retreat in case of danger. Having very keen eyesight, he could see a flying hawk long before it was visible to the falconers, and, having great fear of the bird of prey, would quickly give warning of it's approach. The man simply watched the shrike, and when he saw the latter drawing in his feathers and giving other signs of uneasiness, he knew that falcon was coming and prepared to operate his decoys. When the shrike began to scream, it was a sign that the falcon was approaching, and the man pulled the white pigeons from their holes in the turf, Their fiut- tering instantly attracted the attention of the hawk, and he would generally wheel and swoop down to get one. At this moment the pigeon was drawn close to the bow net, and if in his eager ness the hawk followed it. the falconer sprung the net and the fierce bird was prisoner. It is stated that by noting the degree of anxiety exhibited by the shrike, the falconer could form a good idea as to the kind of hawk which was approaching.

It is said that four we'll known Illi- nois politicians who last year bought several hundred acres of orchard land in Clay county, Illinois, will make a good-sized fortune this year out of their apple orchards. The lucky men are Senator Len Small, of Kankakee, Senator H. M. Dunlap, of Savoy, sena- tor James D. Putnam, of Elmwood, and Representative Edward c. Curtis, of Kankakee. In February, 1901, the four politicians formed g. company and pur- chased 3s0 acres of orchard land in Clay county for consideration of $19,5OO. Senator Dunlap, for the company, has just negotiated the sale of the apples from 270 of the s90 acres for s11, 300 to Shoup, of St. Louis one of the largest and best known apple buyers in the whole country. In the deal the apples are sold as they hang upon the trees.
