 i Subscriber" wants to know how to grow bois dare grove This Is a subject l have thought much about ana havfng owned an interest in good bofs dare bottoms for many years, and having been q close observer I would advocate the following as a good and almost inexpensive plan:
 I should want a good black land creek or river bottom, from which the heavy growth had been cleared, and that was subject to overflow in high water. I would get for 329 acres not more than peck of seed, and after rain, while the ground was yet soft, l should walk across the land in as regular lines as possible, dropping a couple of seed about every five steps, and set my foot on them, and go about live steps more and repeat the opera ton. In this way one man could walk over go or 40 acres per day and be at little money expense. The step ping on the seed is only to bury them rabbits. etc. as the seeds are very nutritious and eagerly sought after by nearly all grain eating birds and ami mals. The seed. l suppose can be ob- tafned from our seedsmen. If not gather fallen apples and mash in large trough and macerate with water: the seed will sink to the bottom and the and you are ready to plant Almost any time of the year will do, but per feraoiy In the fall or late summer

"YElLOW FEVER CRABS"

The Hattiesburg Progress prints
story from Gulfport which is zone on
the quarantine guards who had been
set to watch a certain house where a
suspicious case" was located. The
suspicious case happened to be a
small boy who rebelled at confine-
ment and who quietly slipped away
and went grabbing. AS he returned
tt ward the house the guards met him
and told him not to enter as there
was very dangerous yellow fever
case inside.
I'm the case" said the small boy
''and I want to go home and give my
crabs to the cook. Do you want some
crabs?" he added advancing toward
the guards.
'Hey, you git back there" yelled the
guards, their glls turning a sickly
pea green. 1--WE don't want none o
Your yeller fever crabs. Scoot!"
The youngster laughed in high glee
and as he "scoOted" he flung a hand
full of crabs at the trembling pair.
.'Look out he yelled chose are
mosquito crabs. If they bite you you'll
die of yellow fever!"
The next day the ban had been talk

ciple of Isaac Walton was allowed tC
resume his fishing uninterrupted by

FREIGHT TRAIN
is DERAILED

STOCKTON, April s.-An auto
matte derailing switch prevented the
wreck Of a Southern Pacific freight
train about sunrise this morning at
the San Joaquin bridge, fourteen miles
south of Stockton. As it was, four
cars and a locomotive left the track,
which is badly torn UP for 100 yards.
The cab of the locomotive was burned
by oil, which took fire, and the operat-
ing machinery of the big compound
engine was badly damaged. A small
trestle upon which the engine stopped
was also badly damaged by the fire.
which was extinguished by wrecking
train hands from Tracy. Wrecking
trains were sent from Stockton and
Tracy and the track was cleared this
afternoon. In the meantime, South
Pacific trains were switched on to the
Santa Fe track at Tracy. Traffic was
interrupted for few hours.
The freight train was southbound
and running at a pretty good rate.
There were between thirty and forty
cars. AS the train approached the
signal station the bridge tender start
ed to open the draw to allow a steam
er to go down the river. Engineer
White says the semaphore did not go
up in time to give him an opportun-
ity to stop his train, which was au-
tomatically derailed. Only for this
the train would have continued on
and gone through the open draw into
the river.
Engineer White and Fireman Cy
Larue jumped as soon as the train left
the rails.

LONDON POLICE
OUT FOR COIN
Special pisDatch to Tn. Can.

LONDON, April 8.-When stories of
published here the newspapers have
derived much satisfaction from draw
ing comparisons between the incor-
Tuptible British bobby and the venal
American cop But faith in the supe-
rior virtue of the home article has been
rudely shaken by the disclosures made
at the trial just concluded of suit for
slander brought by ex-Inspector Nc
Carthy against one David Curtis, a
bookmaker. The evidence showed that
,it is no uncommon thing for gamblers
here to be blackmailed by the police,
but 1t was also made plain that PRO
lection" costs much less than it does
on the other side of the Atlantic. Tho
English police official when he is dis
honest is a much cheaper man than
his American guardian of the law,
which from the point Of view of the
corruptor is distinct advantage.
Mccarthy had been twenty-one years
on the force, gaining promotion step
by step until he became head of the de-
tective department of Division F. That
is one of the most envied positions on
the force because of the opportunities
It offers for tips for looking after
weddings and other swell functions,
and other gratuities that are not
classed as legitimate.
Mccarthy had held his billet for less
than a year when he was summarily
dismissed from the service on a va
riety of charges, the principal one be-
ing that he had taken bribes from
gamblers and bookmakers. 1t was found
that no convictions could be obtained
against gambling clubs in his bailiwick.
though complaints were constantly
coming in. Also the street betting men
seemed unusually expert in escaping
detection. McCarthy's reports to head
quarters invariably discredited the
complaints received and denied that
there was any ground for organizing
raid or instituting a prosecution.
Scotland Yard began to suspect that
the inspector was acting in collusion
with the offenders against the law.
Suspicion became certainty when, with
out McCarthy's knowledge, another Of
ficer was employed and raid resulted
in all the evidence necessary for con-
yiction.
game in the fashion too familiar in
America and feathering his own nest.
But the steps he took to vindicate his
character showed that he was by no
means clever rascal. He brought suit
for slander against Curtis, who had
lodged information against him. The
jury acquitted the bookmaker. And
now the public is asking how many
McCarthys still remain on the force.
Gambling houses flourish in London
and bookmakers abound. The Inference
Is plain.
On the witness stand Mccarthy ac-
knowledged that bribery was q COM
mon thing In every police division, but
with a great show of virtuous indigna-
ton he swore that he himself had never
taken a half-penny. According to Cur
tis' testimony McCarthy's price for
week Fancy an American Inspector OF
police condescending to shut his eyes
and close his ears for such q paltry
sum as that! A plain roundsman would
scorn to be swerved from the path q
