Locomotives Charm Cats.

A black cat. lifeless and stiff, lay be-
side the track on the white snow. Be-
side the body was a bright scarlet
stain. The cat had been run over.
Considering their activity said
the flagman. the number of cats run
over on the railroad is amazing. Dogs
are hardly ever run over. With birds
and rates and COWS and hogs it's the
same thing. But cats. right and left.

for forging tickets.
a man named Jensen was employed
in the car barn of the road. He was
not particularly bright. either in APP
pearance or speech. and the conductor
had attempted TO show that Jensen
was the originator of the scheme for
forging the tickets.
Thayer asked the witness, by way
of ridicule. If he did not believe Jen-

seiene. Of Weed cen.reI.

The problem Of keeping down weeds
in the corn field is a great one as the
more weeds the less corn The best
way to keep them down is to never
allow them to attain any size The
ground should be worked with a disc
or harrow thoroughly before planting
the corn The ground should then be
narrowed before the corn comes up
and again when the corn is only few
inches high. Then Il should be cult
