1t is hardly likely that any legisla-
lation that will tend to protect sheep
against the onslaught of dogs will be
enacted at this session Of the Gene
raj Assembly. Portions Of this state
are admirably adapted to sheep
raising and the canine menace is the
only thing that stands in the way of
its success. Such legislation us
might prove a safeguard Is being
urged by that state grange members

HANGED TO MUSIC.
Doomed Man snnR 81 Want to he an
Angep With the Crowd.


'In the early days Of Wyoming,
when there were but few churches
and many infractions OF law, n man
Of the name OF Barstow, who never
knew fear and was n devout Christian,
was elected to the Office OF sheriff"
after Barstow entered upon the duties
Of his office man was convicted for
n capital crime.
"Thc fact that there was no minister
within reach prcyed upon the mind Of
the sheriff, who undertook to supply
the lack by holding an hours Bible
reading in the condemned mans cell
and praying with him. As the time
for the hanging approached Barstow
became possessed with the fear that
he had not acquitted himself Of the
spiritual responsibility devolving upon
him and devised n programme that
was new and unique. After the victim
Of the laws mandate was placed upon
the platform and everything was in
readiness the sheriff prayed long and
fervently. Then he called for some one
to start hymn. and man near the
platform began the only one he know,
L Want to Re an Angel in which the
prisoner joined.
"As the last verse was sung the sher-
iff busted himself adjusting the moose,
and Immediately upon its conclusion
the trap was sprung"

The feminine direct descendants Of
the famous Aztecs are tiny creatures.
eXQuisitcly formed and refined in fea-
ture. They carry the head with the up
bearing grace of tho full booded In

clear. smooth copper color that shines
Ike gold in the sun; their hair is
coarse and black as ebony, and they
are decorated with bright feathers and
gay ornaments. These women make
the most wonderful pottery that comes
to us from Mexico, for they have kept
the old Aztec forms and decorations In
their art, and they also weave wonder

 Superintendent Mckinney is deeply
 interested in the subject of forestry and frequently takes trips to Baldwin county to watch the development of his new enterprise. He is enthusiastic on the subject He says that If the farmers of Alabama would interest themselves in this matter of tree cul- ture it would only be a matter of d few years until Alabama would pro- duce other forests in the place of those depleted. He advocates every farmer planting a few trees each year.
 MT. Mckinney has made the catalpa tree matter of study and close ob- servance and he said that while the species known as catalpa speciosa Is the hest vet grown, 1t must not ba eonfounded with the. catalpa bigno- moides, a species which neither grows tall nor rapid.
 Any one travelling between Mont gomery and Mobile can see the trees as they are planted along the line of the Louisville and Nashville Rail road.
 If the Commissioners of Agriculture would interest themselves" said MT Mckinney, and get the farmers to plant these trees, il would result in untold benefit to the future genera tions of Alabama. In ten years, at the present rate of the depletion of Ala bama forests. we will not have timber for any purpose If the newspapers of the State would take up the aues- ton of tree planting and prosecute it with vigor the result could not fail of being for the future good of the State"

Great Tract of Land in Baldwin Coun- ty Planted In Cataipas Which

 The Louisville and Nashville Rail read Company has gene into the tree raising industry on a large scale,
 Realizing that the Fapidity with which the forests eff Alabama are being depleted, would result in ten years in timber famine" the Louisville and Nashville Company took up the eues- tien some years ago of tree planting with view to growing timber which could be used for fence posts and cross ties. Through Superintendent J. |. Mckinney of the Mobile and Mont gomery Division, assisted by John F. Brown, editor of Horticulture. maga- zine published at Connersville, Ind, in the interest of forestry, one thous- and and forty acres of land was pur- chased near carney's Station. on the Mobile and Montgomery Division of the system in Baldwin county. The land was purchased in May. 1905. Mir. Mckinney began at once to have the ground cleared and prepared for plant remarkable for it's quick growth and its durability of wood fer all pur- poses.
 The trees of this species make a growth of more than an inch in diam eter and seven and eight feet in height in a year and cross ties made from the catalpa have been known to last thir- ty-tWo years. 4hilhehse ioItuncS nave been made in the West from the sale of the timber of the eatalpa tree.
 MT Mckinney completed the clear ing and planting of $50 acres of the Baldwin county land in catalpa trees the first of April. 1905 Every tree is living and the growth they are show ing is astonishing. Although they have been in the ground but sixty days they have Ieaved out and show growth of more than three inches In height The remainder of the ground will be cleared up and planted this year.

LOST TWO WEEKS
Kidnapped Brooklyn Boy Was Picked Up ln the Streeis of
 Brooklyn To-Day
WAS WE'LL CARED FOR

New York. Dec 22.-Georgie Bru- cate, the 1 year old boy, who was kidnapped two weeks ago, was picked up to-day in the street in Brooklyn by policeman and taken to the rooms of the Children's society Word was at once sent to the home of the boys parents and within an hour he was in the arms of his mother, who had become seriously Ill as a result of worry over the miss ing child.
 The boy could tell nothing about his experiences since his disappear ance two weeks ago. He had been well cared for, however, and when found he wore in addition to the clothes which he had on when last seen by his parents. a big warm shawl.
 The police believe that the boy, whose parents are in poor circum- stances, was stolen by one of the gangs of blackmAiltng desperadoes who have been killing well to do Italians in the east side of the city, with the expectation that their ef- forts to collect blackmail would b. made easy if they could show some of the more. prosperous. of their coun- trymen how easy 1t was to perpetrate a crime of this kind and how help less the police would be in the detec ton of the crime. In one of the let ters which Mrs Brucate received there was specific demand for $1,- 900, and she was told that If she did not have it herself she should get it from some of her rich friends If she ever wanted to see Georgie alive.

He Talks About the Rumored Post-

>ss~-~9~~
 Congressman -at-Large George l.. Lilley was in town to-day and in reply to a query from a Democrat reporter regarding a movement for a change at the head of the postofVice. he said:
 "The idea of change did not originate with me. but for the ras. four years certain parties have been finding fault and finally asked if we had to stand that sort of thing all the time, and with view 10 ind out what is wanted I put it up to the largest patrons of the once to say If they want a new man there and if SO who he is. They are looking over the field, but SO far no name has beea mentioned to me as an sspirant to succeed the present incumbent. If | were selfish I should go ahead and name one of my own personal frierds. but I have no notion of doing any thing of the kind. If the people de- sire a change and can fnd a better man for the postofice af tfe salary it pays, there Is no reason why their wish should not be gratifed. Dut the whole thing is up to the people of Waterbury"
 Discussing the question further. Mr Lilley said that while m new maa had been suggested to h'rn he under stood that there will be betore hc returns to Washington From this 1t would appear that the chshge ia coming. although some say that such a thing is not necessary.
