Caught by Short Speech.

7 When Baron Bramwell was once sit
ting on the crown side on the South
Wales circuit, counsel for the defense
in a certain case asked leave to ad.
dress the jury in Welsh. The case be-
ing simple one, permission was
given without demur. He said but
very few words; the baron also did
not think much comment was neces-
sary, but was somewhat startled Nv a
prompt verdict of acquittal.
What was it," he afterward in
quired, that Mr.. L. said to the
jury"
"Oh, he just said: This case, gen
tlemen, lies in nutshell. You see
yourselves exactly how it stands.
The judge is an Englishman, the
prosecuting counsel is an English
man, the complainant is an English
man. But you are Welsh, and I am
Welsh, and the prisoner is Welsh.
Need I say more? leave it all to
YOU" ~ ,..--
It is scarcely necessary to mention,
says the writer Of ''Some Legal Rem.
iniscences,''' that Baron Bramwell did
not allow the experiment to be re.
peated of addressing the jury in q
language which he did not understand.

GRAVEL FOR CLAY ROADS.
How the Farmers in One Section OF
Minnesota Obtained Splen-
did Highway.

No work has been needed on a half.
mile piece of road since it was we'll
graveled IL years ago. The roadbed is
smooth and almost as hard as paved
street, but before it was graveled there.
was not worse piece of road in tho
country. When wet the clay would
stick to wheels as pitch and when it
became dry it would bake as hard as
brick and it was always badly cut up
and so extremely rough that it could
only be passed by teams at a slow
walk.
There was no money in the road
treasury to make any permanent i'm
pr0vement on it, explains the Minne7
sofa correspondent of Farm and Home!
SO the parties interested finally decided
to have the work done by special do
nation. Accordingly all interested put
in one day each hauling gravel, which
they simply dropped one load after
another in the middle of the road, one
load of gravel per wagon length. Al
wear Of two later the road was covered
with gravel in the same way. It is
now in the best condition and passable
at all seasons with heavy loads with,
out danger of being stuck.
The gravel should be put on IL to 81
inches deep, in order to make the im1
provement permanent. In my imme.
date neighborhood where it is too far
to ha2l gravel, we have used a large
quantity of coarse sand taken from the
lake shore, and placed it upon the bed
of earth roads which consist principal
ly of very heavy and sticky black
loan. Where it has been properly ap-
piled in liberal quantities, it has made
q great improvement in our earth
roads.
Remember This Next Summer. y
Every farmer that has a lawn COW
cred with white clover, and that has
lawn mower with which to NOW it,
has combination by which he can
produce large amount of very good
feed for the poultry in winter. The
fine clover cut by the lawn mower is
! just suitable size to be eaten by the
poultry. 1t can be quickly cured in
the sun, and should then be placed in
| bags for the winter use. Some poul-
| try men that we know of practice this
every year and say that their small
clover hay is eaten greedily even by
their small chicks. =

MUCH LAWLESSNESS.

On New Years eve a lawless set of
young fellows, who do not appear to
care how much trouble they cause
others as long as they can satisfy
their propensity for malicious mis-
chief, were travelling about town and
one of them deliberately walked into
the front yard of G. M. Church's resi-
dence, stepped up noisily on the
porch and stole a sign belonging tC
the EVENING NEWS Company
Parties in the house heard them, but
supposing it VAS someone leaving
some news by the door, did not &C
out at the time. The sign was car
ried away and has not yet beer
found. Other signs in Broadway
were carried away also. A tobacco
sign was taken from in front of .
store and carried over to Pine ave
nue.. The rope of Jay Sections store
awning was cut and even the trolley
cars did not escape, for on II car
which was going slowly, they caught
hold of the trolley rop and pulled
the trolley off of the wire. The con-
ductor was about ten minutes getting
the trolley back again. A stone was
thrown by some of the boys into a
trolley car as it passed through Ber-
gen Hill. Such lawlessness deserves
more than mere comments, which
were freely uttered against it. The
perpetrators should be punished as
they deserve to be.
