embroidered in heavy white flowers,

Dainty little wraps are the order of

of batiste and lace. One of all-over
embroidery edged with two narrow

dainty, gave a dressy touch to a rather
plain gown. Little shoulder capes,

not fastened at all, are to be counted
among the summer wraps.

Farmers Meeting.

The annual farmers institute for
Berkeley county, held in the Hobbs
hall Monday and Tuesday, attracted
but small audiences, large proportion
of the people being residents of the
city, who seemed to display more In
terest In the proceedings than the res
idents Of the county. The addresses
were all Of the most interesting char
acter, and is matter Of great regret
that the meetings were not more large
~ attended by those engaged in agri-
cultural pursuits.
The first session was opened with
prayer by Rev. DR.. +. NJ. Woods, pas
tor of the Presbyterian church, after
which an interesting address on "Ro-
tation Of Crops" WAS made by John +.
Seibert, Of Berkeley county. This was
followed by a lively discussion, In
which the views OF several successful
farmers were given for the benefit Of
the audience.
Corn Growing formed the subject
of very able talk by Charles Mcln-
tyre, of Ohio, who proved himself
master Of this subject, and who offer
ed many valuable suggestions, which
were listened to with marked atten-
ton.
j. h. Huyett, of Jefferson county
spoke on "Application of Lime, +"
and handled his subject in an
interesting and practical manner. This
was followed t j q general discussion,
Alex Clohan spake on "Small fruits
on the farm" a subject with which he
is thoroughly familiar, and to which
he brought his years Of experience.
Feeding Beef Cattle for Profit was
handled by Jacob Sites, who dwelt up
on the Importance Of proper food in or
der to realize adequate returns.
Thei first of the program Tuesday
afternoon was 1 recitation, "Apples, .
by Mrs. Bessie Seibert Pitzer, which
WAS followed by "The Value Of Silage
on the Farm, nby q. j. Seibert. A dis
cussion on the subject brought out the
opinions of.<e feral farmers.
s.Feeds ana Feeding" by Charles
Mcintyre, was one of the most inter-
esting addresses Of the meeting, and
was the last of the program.
The present meeting was decided
success in point Of addresses, and it is
hoped that the meetings to follow will
attract larger numbers of the farming
community. Officers were elected as
follows:

stepped across the roof to the adjoinin-

Kean hurrying down the stairs. Draw
ing his revolver he fred at the fee

him and the lidnaper surrendered. The
child in the meantime had followed the
pair and reached the first floor as the
arrest was made. The news of the
capture had reached the center Of the
city, and when the prisoner and the
boy arrived at the city hall a great
crowd had gathered. Kean, white with
fear, trembled so that he could scarce
" walk, and begged the detectives not
to let them kill him.
With the boy he was taken to Mayor
Weaver's office. and the mayor imme-
diately communicated by telephone with
Muth, who FASTENED to the mayors Of
fee and the meeting between father
and child was most affecting. The
child bore no evidence Of i'll treatment
beyond lack OF sufficient nOurishment.
He had been fed on bread and milk
which Kean had stolen from door
steps. When found he held a couple
of c1uSts of bread in his hands. and
his school book was under his arm.
In the letters which the Ridnaper
wrote to Muth he threatened to kill the
boy if his demands were not met. He
demanded that Muth tell the police a
fictitious tale about the disappearance
Of his son. in order that the detectives
might be withdrawn. His letters were
answered by Captain Donaghy through
the Personal columns Of the newspa-
pers. and apparently all Of his demands
were granted, but Kean avoided ar
rest.

GAME DOGS AND GAME.
"A Remarkable Instance of the IDnu-

stance OF the influence of heredity.
"Game dogs have been trained for
many generations not to eat the game
the birds and rabbits and what not
which they bring back 10 their masters
in their mouths. They have been train
ed to consider that the eating Of such
game would be disgrace and an I'M
pardonable sin, the same as bank
clerks have been trained to consider
that the pocketing of a few dollars
from the millions they annually han
die would be a disgrace and a sin.
''And the result in the game dogs
case has been that this moral abhor-
renee OF game, suggested to them by
their masters, has been transmitted in
its passage down from one generation
to another, into an actual physical alb
horrence. In the matter Of game,
thanks to heredity, game dogs now are
never tempted. They can't sin.

GAMBLERS LUCK.
A joke which Brought a Fortune to
Its innocent Victim.

Having lost every cent of his ready
money at the gaming tables, an Eng
lish visitor at Monte Carlo wired q
pathetic appeal for help to a friend In
England. Two days later he received
a letter addressed in the friends hand
writing which on being opened reveal
ed a five pound note.
Without pausing TO read the letter,
the plunger FASTENED to Ciro's, the IA
NOUS restaurant in the GaIerie Charles
III, and changed his FLYER" into
French money. From Ciro's he went
straight into the Casino, where. ex-
periencing an extraordinary run Of
luck, he not merely retrieved all his
previous losses. but gained a substan-
1ial increase into the bargain.
Weary of play. he retired with a few
eronies to Ciro's again to celebrate the
occasion. The usually genial NJ Giro
met him at the door Of his establish
ment with d food OF reproaches and
upbraidings. The five pound note was
bad! He waved it angrily in the
plunger's face-mais oui, it was false,
this five pound note!
The plunger took the guilty FLYER
and scrutinized it carefully. 1t was
one of the sham bank notes issued by
Sir Augustus Harris and bore on its
face an advertisement of the Drury
Lane pantomime. The English friend
himself as broke" as the Monte Carlo
plunger, had posted him the fagrantly
worthless note as a joke-a joke which
had the plunger taken the trouble to
examine the FLYER, or read its cover
ing letter he would have seen only toe
clearly himself. 1t was fortunate that
he did net do so. He merely paid Giro

4 family of weasels will often hunt
in company, and this is naturally a
most interesting sight to witness. The
