Amusing things occur in the school
rom. The following good one comes
from Sherburne. A teacher In the
lower grades was giving an oral Lesson
in primary geography. The subject
was volcanoes. AS an aid to instruc-
tion the teacher, who prides herself
on being somewhat of an artist, drew
upon the blackboard a vivid represen-
tation Of a volcano in action, the lu-
rid flames, rolling clouds ofsmoke and
molten streams of lava presenting q
very realistic appearance. The work
being done she called upon the class
to tell what she had drawn. No one
was willing to tell. well what does
1t look like?" she persisted. A little
sellow timidly raised his hand and in
awed tones replied, "Please ma'am, It
looks like hell.-Fdirmont Sentinel.

Chief Defendant in Rising Sun Muir.
der Trial Says He Does Not Know
Who Killed His Sister.

Rising Sun, Ind. May 25-1n the GIL
lespie murder trial James Gillespie
was again on the stand Tuesday and
was asked by his attorney these direct
questions:
did you fire the shot that killed
your sister Elizabeth?''
X did not"
Have you any knowledge Of who did
fire the shot?"
II have not"
He said further, In reply to ques-
tons, that he did not know that the

at his mothers house that night and
that he was not out of the house and
could not see the lights in his moth
er's house.
The direct examination of James
Gillespie was concluded early in the

cress-examination was not protracted.
and made practically no new develop
ments in the case. Mrs Belle Seward
was the last witness called by the de-
Tense and like the other defendants she
denied all connection with the crime.
The testimony was all ended at the
noon recess. The state gave notice that
they would call Myron Barbour to an

mits it.

WEATHER MORE FAVORABLE
FARM WORK ASA WHOLE MAKES
GOOD PROGRESS.
Worms Prove Destructive to Corn in
Some Portions - General Sum-
mary of Crop Conditions.

Washington, May 25.-The following
is summary Of the weekly crop re-
port of the weather bureau:
While the fore part of the week was
much too cool in the districts east of
the Mississippi river, as whole the
temperature conditions were much
more favorable than in the preceding
week. Generally light rainfall in the
central valleys and over most of the
southern states permitted the favor
able progress of farm work, complaints
of interruption being confined mainly
to the upper Ohio valley.
Corn planting has advanced very ia
vorably, except in portions Of the CEN
trail Mississippi and Ohio valleys, where
it has been prevented by wet soil. In
the central and east gulf states corn Is
generally small and backward, but has
made good growth in Texas. Cut
worms have proved very destructive In
Kentucky, Tennessee and portions Of
the middle Atlantic states.
Winter wheat has advanced favor
ably in Nebraska and Kansas, and gem
orally in Missouri, but in portions Of
the last named state the outlook is
somewhat less promising. Improve
ment is reported from Illinois, Michigan
and Ohio, where, however, the condition
OF the crop is very poor.
Spring wheat seeding Is practically
finished, except in North Dakota, where
1t is well advanced, and the early sown
Is coming up and stooling we'll. In
southern Minnesota, Montana and the
north Pacific coast, rain is needed to
terminate the late sown.
The general outlook for oats in the
principal oat-producing states is prom
Using. Seeding is finished, except in the
extreme northern districts, and harvest
is In progress in the southern states.
In the east gulf states light yields are
generally reported, and in Missouri a
crop below the average is indicated.
The transplanting of tobacco has been
delayed by dry weather in Kentucky
but more than half the crop has been
set in North Carolina. Planting has be-
gun in Virginia and Pennsylvania. In
the more northerly tobacco states, the
plants are small.
Except in the east gulf states, the out.
look for peaches continues poor, but the
prospects for apples and other fruits are
promising.
