A New Way with scorchers.

Middleboro in Massachusetts, ia proud
of its shaded streets, well trimmed lawns
and law abiding people How to deal
with the scorching devil wagon, which
disturbs the serenity Of the place and
rolls clouds Of dust into the front parlors
OF the cool white houses, is a question
that has worn crows feet into the brows
OF the selectmen. Auto traps, encum-
brances and ruthless arrests for speed
ing were discarded as unsuitable to the
atmosphere of Middleboro, while the
cynical sneered. The selectmen decided
to permit a little human nature to be
tried.
When an automobile approaches Mid
dleboro with the obvious intent of rush
ing the town the driver thinks better of
it as he sees a smiling man with a red
nag in the middle of the street. The man
with the flag holds out card and raises
his hat. The card bears this inscriptions:
THE selectmen OF Mddieboro are going TO stop
fast driving through this town. Before resorting
20 several permanent traps they have kindly given
the Middleboro Automobile Club permission TO try
and regulate this tran !. Won't you personally
help Us when going through by running not faster

the town at twelve miles an hour in Ave minutes;

NEW VIEWS OF EARTH'S AGE.

set forth the claims OF Topography, or the
evolution OF continents as illustrated by the
distribution OF existing animals.
DR.. Scharff said:
Il believe that the oldest and most perma-
nent forms OF the earth's surface can be
ascerta aimed by a study OF the distribution OF
present forms OF animal life. By this means
we may reconstruct the former globe and
arrive at very certain idea OF what must
take. FOR instance. the continent Of North
America. Animal forms found east of the
Rocky Mountains are comparatively un-
times. But almost Identical forms are found
IN Europe-Austris particularly. This led to
the belief that at some time. or other the

Sentenced Ten Years.

Paris, Mo-, Jan. 11.-After
celebrating twenty-four hours,
the jury in the Sebastian MUIR
der case reported a verdict of
murder in the second degree
and fixed the penalty at ten
years in the penitentiary. The
prominence of the parties to the
tragedy and the trivial matter
over which it Occurred made
this one of the most notable
cases ever tried at Paris.
John Sebastian, a prosperous
farmer, had rented a small field
to Ben Sager, neighber, for
half the crop raised. On the
morning of October Oath they
had a dispute over the division
of the corn, very few bushels
being in controversy. Sager's
two sons, at his direction. had
gone to the field to gather a
load, and were doing so when
Sebastian arrived upon the
scene and claimed that they
were gathering from rows as
signed to him in the division
After ordering them to stop, be
climbed into the wagon and
threw the corn out One of the
boys went for his father. He
came Immediately, Sebastian
having gone to the house and
secured a revolver in the mean
time. A fight followed, in which
Ben Sager was instantly killed
anu his son, Claud, so badly
wounded that death resulted in
a few days, Sebastian was
wounded iu several places by
corn knives welded by the Sd,
gers.
