J. r. Mcdonald, a glassworker. re-
siding at S37 Bryant street, was inc
briated Wednesday night, when he took
a hack ride from Eddy street to Jessie
street with Thomas Conroy, a clerk In
a Fourteenth street grocery. Nor was
Mr.. Mcdonald quite free from inebriety
when he subsequently informed Police
man Norman F. Dunn that while he
was riding with Conroy the latter had
robbed him of $50. The policeman was
in duty bound to hearken to his COM
plant and take Conroy into custody.
But when Mcdonald appeared in the
court Of Judge Cabaniss yesterday
morning he was duly sober and sorry
that he had accused Conroy Of such a
serious offense as grand larceny. I'm
quite sure Conroy did not rob me.

Of how I lost the money"
With his good name thus unequivo-

Miss Grace Vaughans pet spaniel,
nine months old and pretty as a pic
ture, raninto a Grant-avenue shooting
gallery Wednesday afternoon and while
prowling around between the butts and
the targets received a bullet from q
rife in the hands of K. Komi, a jap

to all whom it might concern in Judge
Mogan's courtroom that he was a
Christian. The shot was fatal. and
Miss Vaughan had Komi arrested be-
cause she believed that he wiIlfully
aimed at her pet
In defense Of his Workmanship. Komi
stated that just as he jerked the trig-

he had no intention of killing the ami
NAL On the other hand, it was shown
that unless Komi could not hit a barn
door at ten PAGES he could not acciden-
tally have shot the dog.
The court took the prosecutions view
Of the question OF intent, and Komi will
be sentenced to-day.

Farm Hands In Sweden.

The American farm hand lives bet
ter and does better than his contem-
poraries in any other country in the
world. Some figures presented by our
consul general to Sweden show a mark
ed contrast of conditions. The present
average yearly wage of farm hand
in that kingdom is $54.67. or less than
IS a month, and that Of woman SER
want, $2S.14 year. This is higher than
any average which has ever been paid,
and is pointed to as a sign of the i'm
provement of labor. AS high as 1870
has been paid for years work in the
northern provinces. Other figures pre-
scented however, do not show a cOndi
ton Of extravagant living on the part
of the hired hands. AT the wages above
quoted board and lodging are OF course
provided, but the average cost Of food
and lodging is stated to be for men SCI
per year, and for women about $40 per
year or an average Of about 81
week for board and lodging for two
people. The highest wages paid for
farm laborers are during the summer
Season for day labor (without boardD
and amount to SIS cents day. In win
ter day labor is paid SO cents a day.

The Strawpile
Usino the Commission Man,


Very few farmers are good sales
men, hence the commission merchant
in some nearby city is necessary in
order that the farmer may get fair re-
turns for his produce. Not all COM
mission men are dishonest and If one
goes about in business-like way to
ascertain the standing of the city men
he proposes dealing with, he runs lit
tie risk. On the other hand there are
many farmers so located that they can
make more money dealing direct with
the consumer but the one trouble with
this plan is that when a number OF
growers meet in competition they lose
their heads and begin cutting prices, q
thing merchants rarely do: instead of
wholesale cutting the commission men
generally agree on prices for certain
qualities and maintain these prices. If
the producer takes to the consumer a
product OF first quality he is warranted
in asking a higher price than is asked
for the same produce of inferior quail
ity and he will, as a rule, find little
trouble in selling the first class article.
If one is fairly good salesman work
up q retail trade near by; If poor
salesman. send the products OF the farm
to some reliable commission merchant.

Upon leaving Oyster Bay Commissioner
Cooley will visit the larger cities of the

Mr.. Cooley will then go to New
