/
| A case was tried in Pocahontas
out of the ordinary. and we believe
the only one tried under like circum-
stances, and is without parallel in this
part of the state. Information had been
filed against Fred II. Symes, of Rolfe,
as being a fl subject for the inehriate
| asylum. The case was set for Tuesday
morning at 8 o'clock. but owing to
| the condition of the roads, Constable
Lothian with MIR. Symes and the wit
nesses could not drive, came over on the
LAG train. In the meantime Judge
Battle had adjourned court and was
ready to take the same train for home
County Attorney Head suggested try
ing the case on the train, and the
judges consent was given When the
train stopped the interested parties
We're informed not to get off, and Sher-
III Mitchell, being on the spot. was re-
quested to get on the train. not know
ing at the time what he was wanted
for. AS soon as the train pulled Out,
court was opened in the baggage car,
the witnesses We're sworn and the case
proceeded. Shortly after passing Pal
mer the business had all been gone
thru and Symes was turned over to
the sheriff to be taken to the Cherokee
asylum for period of three years. As
the Illinois Central west happened to
be late, the sheriff and his prisoner
made excellent connections at Manson.
and the two were in Cherokee long be-
fore the balance of the party reached
their homes. We have heard of rail-
reading" a man or a measure thru, but
this is the first case which the same
was true TO the letter.

Whose stories are the funniest;
IT'S not the richest millionaire

The babe that has the finest care

She may not be the sweetest girl

The largest OK may not yield up
The steak that is the tendefest:
The man who holds his head up high
Above the totiing crowd
May have less cause than you or L
In fact, for feeling proud.
The deacon with the pious air
May not be quite the heliest:
The child that's born in poverty
May not remain the towlfest:

Gets more than those who hope and wait
And just perform their TASKS.

Some Local Crops.

From the extensive crop reports OF
the Greenfield Gazette we CLEAN the
following of local interest: In Leyden,
potatoes are mostly dug. There is a
fair crop of them, but in some locali-
ties they are rotting badly. Apples are
small and not over a fourth as many as
last year. Baldwins are especially small
for this time of the year. A good crop
of rowen is being secured, much more
than has been expected. Corn is nearly
a failure. though few pieces will have
some good corn. Most of it will be put
in silos within the week. as the work
was commenced last week filling them.
In Bernardston. the hay crop was
abundant. Owing to continued wet
weather it was not secured as early as
usual. A large crop OF rowen is stand
ing. There were fair cuts of rye and
oats. Potatoes are well grown and
plenty, but are rotting badly. Garden
vegetables are fairly good, cucumbers
in fields not promising. Corn did not
start well, first the drouth, then the
cold wet weather being unfavorable to
growth; il is in a very backward state,
but is improving rapidly in the warm
sunny weather. and many pieces will
be better than was anticipated. The
supply of apples is not large, less than
an average. There are very few pears.
no peaches or plums, and there We're no
cherries. In Mortified, the grass crop
was heavy and secured in excellent
condition. Rowen is fine and most of
it is in the barns. There are but few
tobacco fields; these have yielded good
crops, all being hung. Potatoes are
large. fair and the yield heavy. Some
fields, however are suffering from the
blight. One West Mortified farmer has
shipped 800 bushels TO Springfield Gu
cumbers are not up to the average.
Oats and rye crops We're about the
average. Corn has been very late, but
the present hot wave is rapidly ripen-
ing it off, and while the crop will be
fair it will not be up to usual results in /
town. The fruit crop is light except in /
an occasional orchard

September Magazines.

Everybody's Magazine aims to be a
magazine for everybody. The 144
pages of its September issue contain a
large number of articles covering a
large variety of subjects. Each writer
selected is one especially fitted to ham
die the subject Undertaken. The
political interest of the number
is sustained by Emily Crawford, who
displays her knowledge of the games of
nations in an article on the diplomatic
relations of the various courts of Eu-
rope. ''Radium and Human Life" by
Theodore Waters, discusses in simple
style this wonderful discovery of mod
ern science. In 1.-THE Art of Getting to
Sleep" Harvey Sutherland provides
capital suggestion for wooing the god
of drowsiness. and in THE Gods and
their Feet of Clay" Alfred Henry
Lewis tells several good stories of Lin
coin, Grant and Blaine.

vERNoN's SAILOR BOY.
Some Of His Experiences in Brazilian
Waters This Summer,

| Edmund M. Heard, Vernon's sailor
boy, bugler on the u. S. flagship New

waters this summer writes to friends
as follows of his experiences there:
Santos, Brazil, on the Rio Sui, is a
pretty place and fine place to fall
overheard in as the river is chock full
Of alligators and other reptiles. Rio
de Janeiro beats even Buenos Ayres.
Pretty is no name for it. There is
only one trouble with tit is scourged
with yellow fever We have all been
vaccinated, which makes the sixth time
since I have been in the navy. All
provisions that come aboard have to
be inspected and analysed by the sur
geon, and If it passes, it can come
aboard, if not, No" The city is sit
uated on a mountain side, and all
around the harbor and in back of the
city tower volcanic mountains, the tops
lost in the clouds. One in particular
we call the sugar loaf, is solid rock of
volcanic formation and nearly cone
shaped, its top being way above the
clouds We went ashore this noon
and a party went up to the top. We
had guide and all were mounted on
the sure-footed burros; it was impos-
sible to go straight up, but there is a
narrow path that winds around for
miles until it reaches the top, where
there is a large hotel on the dago plan.
On top, one can not see very far, for
the clouds are below you, but it is an
experience one does not get every day.
There is fruit galore here. The people
talk Portuguese language, something
like Spanish.
