If you catch her right, she will be
as shown in Fig. l. She will bend
the abdomen over, and reach with
her hind legs around behind in the
effort, just as shown, to push the fin

catch hold of her between the thumb
and fore finger in such way that
the finger will be on top and the
thumb beneath. (See Fig 81 If you

the thumb on to the comb.
have seen some veterans who pre-
ferred to grab hold of the queen as
shown in Fig. 2. She is first picked
up as shown in 1, then she is caught
by the legs as shown in 2. While a
veteran can hold queen in this way,
the average beginner would be liable
to squeeze too hard and pull her legs
off; then if you grab one leg only,
the queen will revolve round and
round till she twists it off, and in all
probability take wing. The plan
shown in 1 and 8 is the safer to en-
ploy.
There will be times when one does

That hogs can be raised with profit

is, the ranch owner of the west refuses
to bother with hogs, thinking them OF

the columns of 4 Chicago daily paper
which gave generous space to Prof.

after all, however, the question
does not deserve half the attention
that has Leen given to it. In point
of fact it is side issue of small i'm

alcohol has a food value it certainly
will be conceded that many other
substances are greatly to be pre-

impart nourishment without entail

ROBBED OF HIS BRAINS.
The Sad Confession of One Ruined
Man as to what Whisky Had
Done for Him.

"Out in that one miracle of history"
the great Windy City" by the "un-
sailed seas" there lives a man who
could tale unfold of the woes of
strong drink.
a few years ago this man, whose
name, for tenderness sake, shall be
left for you to guess, was a prince in
the industrial world.
He was worth his hundreds of thou
sands! The lord he was of beautiful,
happy home. A lovely wife confided
in him and was proud of him, bright
eyed children met him when he came
home at night, innumerable friends re-
joiced in his prosperity!
The old adage that America is the
land of opportunity" was nightly
corroborated by this mans case.
Beginning with the slenderest of
means, relying mainly upon his own
pluck and gumption, the man we speak
of soon forged to the front in splendid
style!
While still a young man he found
himself at the head of a splendid bust
ness. Twelve hundred men were on
his payroll. and they were paid gen.
erously, regularly, for the boss" be-
ieved in fair play.
On the great West side his plant was
the wonder even of the enterprising
denizens of that hustling unterrifed
center of American strenuosity!
His profits were $4,000 a year! And
at the fates smiled upon him and his
bank account grew and grew he more
and more let himself out in his gen
crosby toward his family, his friends
and the poor and the needy round
about him.
There was not a mean hair in his
head. His heart was as big as noun

speaks for itself. 1t is its own terrible

1t is only necessary to remind the
reader that there is but one thing for
him to do if he would escape the fate
that grappled and crushed the poor
fellow out in Chicago-he must let
whisky grandly alone.
He must eschew it as he would

tain, and his future looked as rosy as
an Italian sky!
His good fortune was but the nat
ural and legitimate consequence of
his rare endowments. Nature had
given him wonderful brain.
There are to-day in the city of Chi
cago no less than 20 big men, the adj
vance guard of the financially power
full ones of the city, who, a few years
back, were employed by the man
around whom this story centers.
But the man of whom / speak
where is he to-day? Godonly knows!
A few days ago he was brought up
before Chicago justice of the peace
charged with a petty theft.
Already, l opine. the reader is be-
ginning to catch on" to the mystery
in the case.
One word tells it all-whisky! This
man lived to be So years old before
alcohol ever passed his lips-and then
he took drink!
That one drink was his death war
rant. That one drink was the begin
ming of his ruin! That one drink
loosed the furies which bounced upon
him and destroyed him!
That drink created a strange, fiend-
ish desire for another, the second led
to still another, and before he realized
it his paradise was gone and "desola-
ton saddened all the green!"
He got drunk. And he got drunk
again, and again, and presently he was
a common sot.
His magnificent business melted
away like a snowbank in the spring
time; his beautiful home was blasted,
as though it had been stricken by tNe
red lightning's whitening shaft The
light in his children's eyes went out,
the joy in his wife's soul was turned
to grief, and to-day the once brilliant,
prosperous man, the pride of a happy
home and the marvel and wonder of
the whole community, is a tramp, a
common sneak thief, shivering, cring-
ing, hating himself and longing to die.
In the great city by the unsalted
seas he roams about penniless, home
less, friendless, living on the charity
of few friends, his health gone, his
brain added, his whole existence a
perpetual nightmare!
1t is the old, old story! And yet
men will not profit by it.
oh, humanity, thou art the biggest
fool, the most stupid, idiotic thing, in

Wilt thou never learn wisdom? Wilt
thou never discover and respect the

according to Littleton press dispatch,
that he bought the arsenic at a Littleton

on Sept. 1 he left Littleton with a string

Fatal Accident.

AS Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey Berry from
Sutton were driving to this place, last
Saturday, they were struck by he noon
train from the north at he crossing near
D. NJ. Bacons at St. Iohnsbury Center
and both were instantly killed. They
were in a covered sleigh ard did not
hear the approaching train, and were on
their way to this village, where they
were to visit his brother-ln.law, Mr.. Cor
don, who lives on South Park. Their
bodies were horribly mangled, almost
beyond recognition, but Mr.. Gordon
succeeded in recogniz ng his relatives.
The sleigh was completely demolished,
hut the horse escaped without injury
The remains were brought to St. Johns
bury and taken to Sutton early Sunday
morning.
As Mr.. and Mrs. Berry had been mar
ried but a short time and were young
people, together with their sudden and
dreadful death, it is an extremely sac
affair. The funeral was he'd at the
church Tuesday at 10 O'Clock, and the
burial was at the Sutton cemetery.
