MRS. EDDY LIKED
ROCKED.

IhOSIAA3I'
Mrs. Glover's hysterical spells be-
came more violent as she grew older.
For months at time she lived in an
almost continuous state of collapse
She was given to long and lonely wan
derings, ESPECIALLY at night During
her many Illnesses her family would
leave her in bed, apparently helpless,
and returning a moment later find that
she had disappeared. One manifesto
ton of her pathological condition was a
mania for being rocked or swung.
Mark Baker frequently took the grown
woman in his arms, dropped into big
rocking chair, and soothed her to sleep
like a baby. Then he carried her to
bed, gently tucked her in, and stealth
lily tiptoed out of the room. Mrs. Til
ton, when Mary stayed at her house,
performed like service. Usually, at the
Tilton house, the task fell to one John
Varney, the man Of all work He, like
the members of her own family, rocked
her to sleep In his arms. To put an
end to this proceeding, which they re-
garded as unseemly, the Tiltons con-
structed a huge cradle. 1t was built
just like a baby's, with a decorated
balustrade, soft cushions and other es-
sentials of comfort. 1t had at one end
a platform; upon this Varney sat, and,
rocking himself, also rocked the era
die. At times the Tilbons put up a
large swing in Mrs. Glover's room.
Her nephew, Albert Tilton, would
swing her four hours in the daytime.
Sometimes, with small coins, he would
hire certain village boys as substitutes.
Swinging Mrs. Glover became a pop
ular way of turning a honest penny.
One, at least, of these boys still lives.
and has described his experience to the
present writer. This swinging motion.
indeed, grew absolutely indispensable
to Mrs. Glover's peace of mind. Often
her father had to carry her in his arms
from room to room; and she always in
sisted upon being carried up stairs

KNOX HELD WITHOUT BAIL
TO ANSWER FOR SHOOTING
YOUNG KELLEY.
Colored Mans Plea VIII Probably be
Self Defense--AttOrney Williams May
Bring Him Before Grand Jury This
Morning.

Morning.
Coroner Mix finished his finding in
the murder case of Frederick Mccain
Kelley, for which crime Samuel Knox,
the colored man, is now held without
bail, accused of shooting Kelley to
death. Coroner Mix finds Knox guilty
of having criminally killed Kelley, by
shooting him with 92 caliber revolv-
err. The finding was filed with State
Attorney Williams in the superior
court yesterday afternoon, and there
seems but little doubt that the state
I attorney will bring the accused before
the grand jury on bench warrant TINS
morning. Meanwhile Knox Is held
without bonds.
The finding states that on the night
of January 1, at about Ills o'clock p
M, Kelley and two companions were
coming abreast up the east side OF
Church street Coming in the opposite
direction and also walking abreast were
Knox and his wife, and Coleman (all
colored).
The two parties met in front of the
livery stable driveway at 81 Church
street, and they bumped In passing
Dunn, one of Kelley's companions, then
testifies that Knox struck him in the
back. Knox and his wife, however,
state that Knox was struck first. Knox
then claims that he returned the blow
Words followed. Mrs. Knox got a
hold of her husband, and some by
ISLANDERS also tried to stop the affair.
Knox went into the street, and as
Kelley came towards him, the coroner
finds, that Knox took the revolver from
his outside coat pocket, and fired It at
Kelley. Kelley fell, and then Knox rar
awas.
The finding contains the autopsy
performed by Medical Examiner Bart
lett. The autopsy states that the bull.
let entered the abdomen, and thai
death resulted about a half hour after
the wound was inflicted.
The grand jury will decide on what
charge Knox is to be tried.

arrange the dirty dishes in this rack,
soak them we'll, and then rinse with

and Marion no longer wondered at the
appearance of her plate at dinner.

and washing the dishes: We haven't

you can't learn her nothing. It gives
me cold chills to muss with them cold,
clammy things. Give me a good, big
dish-rag and plenty of hot water, |

ITS a good place and I'm getting
along we'll in my studies, but I can't
stand the endless round Of canned
meats and vegetables" sighed Marion.

itively. "The rooster is hard to rinse,
and that means drudgery. If she'd
only come down with the rheumatic

is drudgery, she might have fresh
meats"
At the end of year Marion had a
good position offered her in a home
school. The family noticed that she
seemed to enjoy helping. To a ques-
ton about her ancient enemy from
Jay, Marion gave a reply that astonish-
ed the family.
'Hate DISTINGUISHING? I dearly love

and paid for itself in building less than

and now [ can build my fence for the

Could leave out second and fourth

fence a little cheaper, but for myself

ent sizes Of wire, think for STAN

Dairy Notes.

You will find the following hints,
from the Farm Journal, useful,
whether you keep one COW or one
hundred:
Pet the COWS. Give them a little
Agar with salt at first, then lump
of sugar now and then. Sugar will
make a wild heifer gentle. Try it.
If you buy a new cow, give her
sugar, and she will not try to break
away.
Do not let any extra rush in farm
work interfere with the regular milk
ing hour.
If not MIXED in a reasonable time
the COW refuses to give down her
milk.
The habit of holding up the milk
can easily be formed by harsh treat
ment.
If the COW is made to feel comfort
able and happy she will pour the milk
out to the last drop.
Don't put a calf in a pen by itself;
animals suffer from loneliness.
Keep the calves growing. If stunt
ed the first year there is loss that
never can be regained Any amman
that is worth raising is worth raising
we'll.
Breaking the heifer to her dairy
duties should begin almost with her
BIRTH by accustOming her to obedi-
ence, confidence and kindly handling
If the cover is left off the milk can,
a piece Of cloth or mosquito netting
should be used to keep out insects.
When sailing butter add one table
spoonful of granulated sugar to ten
pounds of butter and notice the i'm
proved flavor.
If we sell our butter to private GUS
toners we should try to salt to the
taste Of each. This may be some
trouble, but after all we depend upon
the tastes Of Our patrons for our sales.
If we miss the mark as to taste, we
miss the sales.
Get butter to the consumers as
quickly as possible after it is made.
The fine, delicate aroma of freshly
made butter is quickly lost.
Fill silo this year. Try it once
and you will never neglect it.

Fence Problem Solved.

The fence problem is a serious one.
All things considered, woven wire
fence seems to be the best and in the
end, the cheapest A correspondent
of the Practical Farmer thinks that
he has solved the problem. If such
machine as he describes can be
bought at reasonable price, it would
certainly be a good investment for
anyone who has much fencing to do.
We moved from town onto the farm
ten years ago. 1t was fenced with old,
tumbledOwn worm fences that could
hardly be seen for briars and hazel
brush. We replaced these with board
and picket fence on wood posts, and a
clean fence row. In four or five
years the posts had partly decayed and
the fences were blown down by heavy
wind-storms, pickets were broken out
by stock, making quite an expensive
fence to build and keep in repair.
Although a dear lesson, we have
learned that a good steel fence is the
cheapest and most durable, requiring
no repairs when properly built
Among the many advantages of steel
over wood fences are the following:
Steel is strong, durable and ornament
al; is not injured by s1eet, snow, heat,
cold or floods; does not obstruct the
view nor mar the harmony of the
landscape; costs less to build and
keep in repair than wood; will not
harbor insects and other enemies to
crops; casts no shade over growing
crops; allows of cultivation close to
fence, thus keeping fence rows clean;
is not affected by windstorms, and
snow will not drift alongside of it,
blockading lanes and highways.
There are many kinds and styles of
wire fences to choose from, some be-
ing woven at factory and shipped in
the roll, others woven on the ground
by one of the various fence machines
in use. We chose one of the latter
for several reasons. It does not cost
as much per rod, is adapted to uneven
ground, and we can build it ourselves
when other work is not pressing. We
use a machine with which we can con-
struct manv different styles of fence,
with variations in price, governed by
size Of wire used and size of mesh,
We can use plain, barbed, cable, or
Co1led spring wires, can also make
lawn and ornamental fence The ma
chine runs easy, builds fence rapidly
