A French Verdict.

All juries have n way of temperlng justice with mercy and strict logic with good or bad sense. French Juries excel in these practices. A Mime. Ca naby of Bordeaux was accused of hay ing forged two prescriptions and of having thereby obtained large quantl- ties of poison, some of which she ad- ministered to her husband. who nearly died and was only saved by his doctor, who suspected something wrong and took him away. The evidence was overwhelming, for the prisoner com pletely failed to give my plausible ex- planation as to why she wanted the poison-enough, as the chemist said. to kill two regiments. Nevertheless the jury found Mme. Canaby guilty of forging the prescriptions, but not guilty of attempting to poison her husband. Perhaps the jury thought the husband unpoisoned was punishment enough in himself for one crime. ....

Fell 36 Feet.

'
 Henry B. Hoag. buttermaker at the Borden plant, moved his family here from Winsted on Thursday of last week and they are occupying the rooms in the Clemens building recently vacated by Dr. k. w. Jarvis. Mir. Hoag's little son Warren recently fell 36 feet from a cupola in Winsted, striking on his head and shoulders on barn floor, sustaining broken arm and various other injuries. A Shake-Up in Provender
 The horse attached to one of J. P. Rains bakery wagons became fright ened by the cars Monday, on the East Canaan road. The driver, Matthew Dempsey, attempted to hold the horse but the rein broke, also one of the traces and Dempsey, also John Killowee, who was riding with him, was thrown out. Neither was injured.

 25 Pound Turtle.
 Frank Stevens captured a 25-pound snapping turtle in the Housatonic river size of small school district and by its general appearance was judged to be about 300 years old, in fact Frank thought he saw the date 1906 stamped on the shell but it was along toward night and the date could not be plainly distinguished. No one examined his teeth to ascertain his age for a certainty. After being thoroughly inspected he was again given his liberty and padded off down stream to see the brand new baby at the home of MT. and Mrs. Fred Schermerhorn.

As matter of fact the making of a decision as to what to omit is the sit uation confronting the average editor 52 weeks ill the year. Every week, at the final moment, when making up" the forms, which ill plain English means assembling the type matter ill the col umns, it is found that something must be omitted and if that something" happens to be matter sent in by a corres pondent, the probabilities are that the editor will receive letter similar to the one above referred to. The general public do not, nor could they be expected to, understand the emergencies or the perplexities that arise. The regular or occasional contributor simply takes notice of the fact that his matter is omitted or curtailed and forthwith pro- ceeds to express his opinions of editors in general, and of the offending one in particular, without pausing to consider the fact that the continual aim of all up to-date newspapers is to print all the
 
 must have been some good reason for omission.
 The correspondent to whom we have referred delivers the ultimatum that he declines to send us further communi- cations unless we agree to use them as written. Now this man possesses ability above the average when it comes to getting hold of news, he expresses his ideas clearly, he uses good English, he writes his copy on typewriter and in other respects his services are desirable but, notwithstanding all these points in his favor, we cannot nor could any other newspaper, make any such pledge as he asks. To agree to use every paragraph a correspondent sends and, further, to agree to use it ill exactly the form he sends it, would in many instances, cause difficulties and delays that would be almost insurmountable.
 Could every correspondent of this or any other paper spend week in the office of publication, or could they be pre- sent during the making-up process, they would readily see that in nine cases out of ten their criticisms as to the manner in which their matter is handled are un- just.
 In conclusion we would drop this word of suggestion to newspaper cores pondents, l. G., when the editor arouses your ire by emitting or curtailing your matter, set down where the light is good and where all is quiet in order that you may collect your ideas, select the best pen i'll the house, then write letter to the editor that Hays him numerically. Give him fits" from way back or even further back than that. When you have finished the letter, read it over carefully two or three times, inject an adjective here and there. to more forcibly express your views, fold the sheet carefully and tear it up. Then the next time you are ill town, go to the office, hand the printers devil" your card which will admit you to the sanctum where the editor will be found ready to give you the glad hand after which he will be able to thoroughly satisfy you that he regretted the omission of your news matter as much as you did and will make 1t plain that he is doing his level best to please you and at the same time do justice to his paper and his sub scribers.

Inebriety and the Eating of Fruit.


 There Is but one sure cure for the drinking disease or habit, and that Is the simplest of all. The cure consists In eating fruits. That will cure the worst case of inebriety that ever af- filcted a person.. It will entirely de- stroy the taste for intoxicants and will make the drunkard return to the thoughts and tastes of his childhood No person ever saw man or woman who liked fruit md who had an ap- petite for drink. No person ever saw a man or woman with an appetite for drink who liked fruit The two tastes are at deadly enmlty with each other, and there Is no room for both of them In the same human constitution. One will surely destroy the other.-What to Eat

Senators Agree.

Washfseton, D. c., Dec. 80 -Seoa
tors Fulton and Gearin haye agreed up
on plan, which they will fCl'ow when
congress reconvenes, in their efforts to
secure an appropriation for Oregon river
and halbor improvements. They will
introduce individual bills for each OF
the various desired improvements, max
ing the appropriation in each case con-
form to the recommendations and the
estimates OF the eng neering corps of
the war department. The amounts CT
the several appropriations to be thus
asked for have not been decided upon,
but the bills will provide for improving
Coos bay, Tillamook harbor, Yaquiua
bay, Siuslaw river, the Cello canal, the
upper Willamette river, the lower VIII
lamette river and the Columbia river
below Portland. These will be in ad-
dition to the bill for improving the
mouth of the Columbia river.
1t ,s recognized by tie Oregon sena-
tors that probably there will be no gen.
eral river and harbor bill at this session,
and consequently little chance OF secur-
ing the passage of these bills unit |
another river and harbor bill is consld-
cred, but they hope by introducing
them now that reports may be made
upon them and they will be in shape
for early consideration when the gen.
eral bill is framed.

the greatest navigators for three
INJURIES. Long ago the making
of the Northwest passage was
practically abandoned and was
thought to be an impossibility.
The result of the Norwegian ex-

Mr.. Herren reports that the snow
fall in the mountains is unusually
heavy for the time of year. At
the coal mines the snow is about
two and one-half feet deep, while
upon Ditch creek flat, where the
elevation is higher, snow covers
the ground to a depth of about
three and one-half feet. Heavy
fall in the mountains is de-
sirable for it retains moisture that
is needed late in the spring, es-
pecially for the alfalfa growers
along the creeks.
