Tried To Break Out Of Jail

Sunday morning Sheriff Schnurr
gave his prisoners little surprise by
walking into their corridor and up
to the bars of the southwest window
and showing them what they had
been doing to two of the iron bars.
They were all very much surprised to
learn that the bars had been filed, but
the sheriff soon convinced them that
that kind of innocence would not work.
The tool used for saving was a saw
made out of an old fashioned case
knife. The other tools found were a
jack knife and small hammer. The
work of saving was carried on in the
day time and one would saw while
the others whistled, sang, or made
some other noise. The sheriff had
heard suspicious sounds and began a
system of spying which soon brought
to light the facts of the case. New

A NEW POLICY AS TO PUBLIC LANDS

The recent uncovering of numerous
frauds in connection with the dishonest
entry of public lands, especially those
rich in timber reserves, coal, oil and
mineral deposits, has brought govern
ment officials which have these mat
tiers in charge TO the point of asking
for legislation which will prevent the
further passage of any such lands into
the hands of private companies or cor
porations. AS it is, practically all the
coal and oil lands owned by the govern
ment in the eastern states have passed
into the hands of private parties, estab-
fishing them in some of the worst
monopolies which we have today. The
policy of the government mentioned
above, which bids fair to be put
into operation in the near future, takes
the view that inasmuch as the public
lands belong to the whole people they
should not be administered in such
way as to enrich a favored few, as
has been the result of the slipshod pol
icy which has prevailed in past years.
The change will be looked upon with
favor by all citizens who are interested
in justice and an all around square
deal

INSECT RAVAGES.

1t is estimated that the annual loss
of crops by insects alone is over $780,
100000. If this be true. one cannot do
better than encourage those birds and
animals which destroy the worms and
insects. Some of the birds which sub
sist almost wholly upon insect life are
the swallows, martins, vireos, wood
peckers. chickadees, wrens, cuckoos,
swifts and flycatchers. The robin and
the bluebird will ask for a small share
of grain and fruit in return for their
services; but, then, it must be remem-
bered that they come early and stay
late and are very faithful. 1t is an
interesting fact that the stomach of
the very young bird is so delicate that
it can only digest animal food, and
this creates demand for the insect
life. Another valuable assistant is the
harmless and inOffenSive toad. The
children should be taught not only to
recognize this little animal and the
birds as having right to live, but also
to regard them as valuable aids upon
the farm.

THE MEAT PACKERS.

Several new situations have grown
out of the passage of the meat inspec-
ton bill. One of them is that hereaft-
er the packers will not be able to work
up into food delicacies any of the dis
eased hogs or cattle which have here
tofore had market value sufficient to
pay for their transportation to market,
as government inspectors will not only
hereafter condemn such animals, but
the law provides that these carcasses
must be destroyed at once. Not being
able to sell the products from such
animals, it comes about very naturally
that the packers will not buy them.
The new situation will render it eXpe-
dent for farmers to quit feeding such
animals and put them out of the way
as soon as disease of any kind may
appear. Indications point to the fact
that the operation of the new law will
result in renewed campaign for the
eradication of disease among all farm
animals used for food.

TREES.

1t is seldom that all the good quail
ties of thing can be found in any one
single individual This is true in the
matter of trees. Many people in
their 'eagerness to see things doing
about the place plant the trees which
make the most rapid growth. This is
q mistake. While these trees if planted
may sooner bring joy and pride to the
heart of the present owner, it is a
waste of time and labor, and in the end
means job for some one else. AS an
example, a couple of rapidly growing
trees which are beautiful to look upon
and very popular with a majority Of
people are the silver maple and the
Carolina poplar. Both Of these are
not only short lived and require much
water, but they are more frequently
devastated by windstorms, attacked
by insects and subject to disease than
the more hardy varieties. You want
trees which stand the storms of win
ter as well as the wind and drought
of summer.

Hidden Treasure.

The finding of moaldy purse in an
old log cabin of Fairfield may lead to
the discovery of hidden treasure
supp osed to be about $40, 900 in value.
The money is supposed to have been
buried by the Indian chief. Black
hawk, and to have been paid his tribe
by the government in return for lands.
Pioneers say they remember wildly
that three Indians, who were apoint-
ed to bury this money were killed
in an Indian way soon afterwards.
The story is also told of ii stranger
with much money, who suddenly

A Freak Rooster.

Every citizen of Alexander, small
place in Franklin county, is keeping
his eye on a curiosity in the shape
of a setting rooster. The rooster III
question is a buff cochin. 1t showed
setting propensities and its owner,
w. w. Bailey, the landlord OF the
hotel, staked his highness with a
setting of eggs, and the outcome = OF
the experiment is being watched with
no little interest. The rooster is
proud of his charge and is as faithful
as any old hen might be under similar
conditions. A successful hatch is
now anticipated, but the attitude OF
the rooster toward the brood is a
matter of conjecture. Hampton Re.

Sometimes she was well cared for and
even wore blanket to protect her

inadequate for the heavy service which
is required of them on the morning

BEE sTINGs FOR RHEUMATISM.

If the news reports of the experiences
of a resident Of Jenkintown, Pa, are
to be believed, beekeepers are likely to
receive fresh accession to their ranks
from confirmed rheumatic patients.
The person in question, man long
troubled with rheumatism, was one day
visiting friend and accidentally upset
a hive of bees. Though unrecOgnizable
when they got through with him, he
noticed that his rheumatism was gone.
When the disease some time later made
its appearance he tried the experiment
again and found it worked. The other
day he took treatment from a hun
dred bees before beekeepers' conven-
ton in Philadelphia, which was natu-
rally much interested in the experiment.
The cure was explained by physi-
clan whom he consulted as due to the
poison from the stings acting as an an
tidote upon the uric acid in the blood,
to which rheumatism is due.
