TRIAL or CHRIST.

Interesting and unusual as an even
ing service was the one recently held
at the Bethany Presbyterian church of
New York, when Walter NJ. Chandler
of the New York bar delivered his lee
ture on THE trial of Jesus from a
lawyers standpoint" This lecture,
while reverent and devout in its char
acter is a strong presentation of the
totally illegal nature of that trial. Mr.
Chandler tells in brief and pointed
fashion just what was the Jewish law
about such trials and shows that al
most every step taken at that time
was violation of that law. From
the Roman standpoint the arraign-
ment before Herod and PLATE could
not be designated as trials at all.

IMPROVE YOUR HERDS.

No one, wishing to improve his herd,
can expect to get striking results in the
first . years. but straws show which may
the wind is blowing
In 1880 I added to my herd of grades
fun blood Ayrshire cows and one full
blood Ayrshire bull, and would like to tell
what the first years have done and show
what may be expected, as the herd turns
gradually from being all grades, to be-
ing all full blood Ayrshres.
In 1901, my . Ayrshire cows gave to sell,
1900 lbs. of milk, an average of almost
5000 lbs. each. My 81 grades gave 237 900
lbs. an average of less than 5000 lbs
each. If the 90 cows had been all Ayrshros
they would have given 5000 instead of
$4,000 lbs. In 1896 the 90 COWS gave 2G0 =
90 lbs. In 1896 tho receipts for milk were

FORTY STITCHES IN HIS HEAD
Driver Of Chemical Engine In ured
While Gong to q fire.

The fire d. department was called out sun
day morning shortly before two O'Clock
and while the chemical engine from sta
ton one was making tho run two men
were thrown from the seat and one OF
them was so severely injured that nearly
40 stitches were taken in his head and the
other received wounds about the face that
will probably leave permanent scars.
When the alarm sounded L. j. Bcnoit,
driver of the chemical, was not at the
station and William Longc consequently
took the reins. With him the drivers
seat was John Moran. Just as the chem
zeal started Benoit rushed into the STA
ton. jumped into LOnge's lap, seized the
rens and started the team down Church
street on the dead run The hose cart left
the station first but the chemical passed
II before the corner of Main street was
reached. BenOit did not slow down at the
corner but sent the horses around the
turn at full speed. The chemical lurchcd
heavily and Bcnoit and Moran were
thrown. The former was thrown for
ward and his hands struck the horses.
one OF his feet caught in the chains that
holds the Whitetrce and was fastened by
the rein, which he dropped when he fell.
The Other foot rested on the axle of the
front wheel. His head was within striking
distance of the ground and as the horses
tore down the hill toward Champlain
street his head kept humping along, in
fiCting serious wounds. Moran was
thrown to the ground and was injured
only about the face.
When Benoit lost control of the reins
Longe was the only man on the drivers
seat. He Immediately jumped To the pole
and caught the rcinS near the horses
heads Just in time to turn them into the
road and prevent n collision with a
telegraph pole. The animals were
going at such speed that it
was impossible to get them under
control until Champlain street was reach
ed As soon as the stop was made Benoit
and Moran were cared for. Moran re-
sumed his duties at the fire station Sun
day but Benoit is at the Mary Fletcher
hospital. lie is resting comfortably and
it is thought he will not suffer
from any internal injuries. Those
who know about the accident say that
Benoit was wholly to blame. 1t is alleged
that he was intoxicated and that If he
had not been he would never have taken
the chances that he did.
The fire was in the barber shop Of I'D
ward Willis on Battery street, The shop
and the adjoining residence of October
Arcand We're Quilted by the flames.
