Mr.. Whitaker Meets Shocking Death.
MIR. Wesley r. Whitaker, until recently a
well known resident of the 9Th district, met a
shocking death on Wednesday night last by
being run down by an electric car on Park
Heights avenue, near Belvidere avenue. 1t is
thought he was waiting for a car to proceed to
his home, near Delight. on the Reisterstown
road, and, while attempting ocross the tracks,
was struck by a passing car and instantly
killed.
Mr.. Whitaker, who was 46years of age, was
a native of Hartford county, but spent nearly
his entire life in Baltimore county. For many
years he was a resident of Arlington and was
foremost among those who assisted in the de-
velopment of that important suburb. In 1895
Mr.. Whitaker was elected to the House of
Delegates on the Republican ticket and this
was the only political Office ever held by him.
Several years ago he bought farm at Oregon,
8th district, and removed from Arlington to
that place and remained there until he sold the
property few months ago. He then removed
to Phoenix and within the last two weeks re-
moved to the 4th district, having purchased a
small farm near Delight. He was real estate
speculator and was recognized as a shrewd
business man. Mr.. Whitaker is survived by a
widow and six children-four sons and two
daughters.
The funeral will take place this Saturday
morning and will be in charge of Sharon Ma
sonic Lodge, of Arlington, of which deceased
was member The interment will be in the
family lot in Greenmount Cemetery.

timore are Mildred and Norman Taylor, aged
years and Is years. respectively, who went
there on Tuesday with their father, Mr.. John

About six weeks ago Mildred was bitten by a
big dog. Three weeks afterwards Norman.
the brother, was bitten on the index finger OF
the left hand by the same dog. The dog Pc
came violent several days ago and Mr.. Taylor
becoming alarmed thought it best to put the
children under treatment.

LEGAL INFORMATION.


By sigAing a petition for the estab-
lishment OF q rural delivery mail route,
the signers do not bind themselves to
complete the road; we know of no law
requiring ordinary highways to be kept
free from snow drifts, by either the
county, town or the individual owners
over whose lands the roads pass.
A homestead REIMBURSEMENT neces-
sarily runs to the United States gov
eminent. Nobody acquires any title
when a homesteader relinquishes his
claim except the government. The title,
legal and equitable, goes back to the
government after REIMBURSEMENT, and
the land can be entered upon by an
other claimant For this reason the
sale of a REIMBURSEMENT would carry
no interest to the purchaser. The re-
linQuishment may be made by The
hOmesteader without his wife Joining,
and even without her knowledge.
The efforts of insurance companies to
show breaches of warranties often
lead to unusual contentious, but the
case OF OcOHelu AunlA. V. A16LrOpOlI-
tan Life Insurance Company, 81 Allan
tic Reporter, 1107, probably represents
the limit. The company showed that
q brother Of the insured had received
a letter from him mailed in Colorado,
and as a result contended that they be
permitted to argue to the jury that
California and Colorado were resorts
for consumptives, and on appeal con-
tended that the court should take jul
dicial notice Of the fact that Colorado
was the place to which consumptives
resort. The Supreme Court Of Yer
mont, however, refuses to sustain these
contentious, and points out that the
mere fact that letter had been mailed
in Colorado by the insured would have
no tendency to prove that the insured
even resided In Colorado, much less a
tendency to prove that he had con-
sumption. The court adds that it would
hesitate to hold that a temporary or
permanent residence in Colorado would
have a tendency to prove that the in
sured was suffering from consumption.

A number of years ago Gen. Benja-
min f. Butler was a guest of friends
in Brooklyn. During his visit he noted
the rule of the street railway companies
compelling conductors to register fares
as soon as passengers entered the cars
and before the fares were actually col
lected. Two or three years afterward
he represented the plaintiff in a dam
age suit for $4,000 in which Brook
Ign street railway company was the de-
PENDANT. The principal witness for the
company was the conductor Of the car
on which the accident occurred, and
his testimony was so strong as to make
things look bad for Buffers client. But
Butler recalled the unusual rule he had
remarked years before, and on cross
examination he said:
"Your company requires you to ring
up fares as soon as passengers enter
the car, doesn't it?'

Small Pennsylvania Tract.
After tilling the soil for more than q
quarter Of a century and making 1t
yield abundant crops, David K. Kauff-
man, a well-known farmer Of Riverside,
this county, has retired from business,
says a correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Leader at Reading, Pa. During
all this time Mr.. Kaufman titled q
small tract Of land within the city linn
It's and brought it UP to a state of fer
tility that was marvellous. On ten
acres he raised crops that brought him
an annual income Of $4,000.
When he purchased the place he had
little money and knew very little about
farming. He read books on truck rails
ing and got down to hard work. He
learned rapidly and made money from
the start He leased the truck farm at
first, but so rapid was his success that
in 1887 he purchased 1t for $4,000. He
was compelled to borrow the money,
but within a few years paid it off. Two
months ago he sold the farm for $685.
600.
When he started he planted fifteen
rows Of onions, and year ago he
planted more than an acre Of them. He
planted from 700 to 1900 heads Of
cabbage and last year raised 1900
heads. A considerable part Of his in
come was realized from the sale Of
| vegetable plants. He sold 10000 cab
bage plants each spring and from 1000
to 5000 tomato plants each year. Most
| Of them were shipped to other cities.
Early tomato plants sold at % cents a
dozen. Mr.. Kauffman's seed bills alone
amounted to about 5000 a year. His
most profitable crops were lettuce,
beets, onions and rhubarb, all Of which
/ he raised by the acre. Horse radish
was another profitable crop. Besides,
he sold from sixty to seYenty-fiye bush

A learned English physician, Sir
James Crichton-Browne, comes forward
to tell you that you eat too much But
you know that already. Your own
stomach has told you so many time.
Yet you have gone on heedlessly, just
as though you were put here to live to
eat, rather than to eat to live. Eating
is largely a matter of habit-almost as
much Of a habit as drinking whisky,
smoking a pipe or sleeping several
hours a day. Neither whisky nor to-
bacco Is necessary to the well-being Of
any man. Neither Is ten hours sleep.
No more are three meals a day, espe-
cially in hot weather. Is it any wonder
that you fret and fUme and grumble
at the heat when the mercury gets up
into the COS, when you go around with
your stomach distended and sagging
with a lot Of unnecessary food? What
good does it do you to fill up on beef
steak, potatoes, pie and pudding and
to go around sweating like a carthorse,
when you could get along with one-half
or one-third of the food which you
crowd into your stomach on hot day ?
Yes, what good does 1t do you? The
human stomach has been compared to a
furnace, which burns up food as To-
connective burns up coal. But the care
full fireman never overloads his engine,
though his tender may be heaped up
and running over with coal, but you
overload your stomach simply because
there is an abundance Of food on the
table. The result is that you are dull
and stupid afterward, and are COM
PEELED to slow down in your work, just
as an engine would do If it were choked
with coal until there was no draft to
consume it You think you are gener-
ating energy when you are only invit-
ing discomfort. Gentle reader, and still
gentler purchaser, allow us to suggest
little plan to you. Try two meals a
day for q while. 1t cannot possibly
hurt you. You may lose a little avoir-
dupois at first, but you will experience
JOY in living such as you have never
dreamed Of before.

GREATEST CROW BOOST.
8Ounty to Be offered to Wipe Birds
Out of Existence.

Bounty to Be offered to Wipe Birds
Out of Existence.
The fame of the Crows Roost In
Timber Hill may soon be history of the
past, says q Parsons (Kan.) CORE
spondent of the Topeka Journal. The
county commissioners Of Labette Coun-
~ are considering the plan Of giving
bounty Of cents on crows heads, and
If such a scheme is carried through the
slaughter will be great in the western
part of the country. Hunters and
sportslnen would be attracted in droves
to that place, because the most con-
sentative estimate place the number Of
crows that nightly rO0st there at
figure not less than 100000 OF 100000.
Crows Roost is vicinity about thir-
teen miles south and little west Of
Parsons, near Dennis. The land there
Is very rough and covered with scrub
oak Timber Hill is located there and
the place is known best by that name.
1t is only a few miles to the Mont
gomery County line.
Every evening about sunset the sky
around the place is black with the
1ense throngs of crows that have come
for miles to roost in the hills. In every
part of Labette and Montgomery coun-
ties these birds have been feeding on
the crops of the farmers and when
night comes they wish to visit others
and gossip over the days events. The
noise in the evening that they make
can be heard for miles. When the
morning comes the birds fly away to
their daylight haunts again with more
cawing, also making the sky black with
their numbers.
It is a mystery how the farmers liv-
Ing in the vicinity can raise any crops.
Flocks of birds have been seen to set
tie on the fields until the earth was
black, so thick did they cover it. Sew
eraI visits like this to a growing field
would be worse than the blights of
grasshopper days.
The commissioners desire to help the
! farmers in getting rid of the nuisance.
! They are now comforting with the coun-
ty commissioners of Montgomery Coun-
ty in the matter, because at least half
Of the crows belong to that county.
Both counties may offer the bountics,
| if they find it expedient and it will
not be too great drain on the county
treasury.

TRAINING ANIMALS.

>Obeying the Word, Regardless of the
Tone and Manner.
It is true that animals can be taught
to obey a tone alone-that is, a mere
sound having no place among the lists
Of words. SO may a human being.
Therefore that proves nothing. 1t is
likewise true that you may say thing
In a tone that contradicts the word,
and the animal may OF may not re-
spond to the tone only, but the same
effort will produce the same effect on
any sensitive child, woman Or man.
Again; horses and dogs are the most
sensitive Of all brutes, the most easily
offended, encouraged, discouraged.
Therefore, need one be surprised if he
finds it takes a long lesson to teach a
horse or dog to obey the word regard
less Of the tone and manner? That
either can be SO taught, however, thou
sands of people know from their own
experience.
