wonderfuI Health Record

Both the medical officer and the surveyor of the Tarvin (Chester) rural district council have condemned a cot tage at Caldecott Green. near Earn don, for demolition as insanitary. But the tenant, an old man, appeared be- fore the council and told a remarkable story 'in stay of execution" He sta- ted that he was 73 years old and live ed in the cottage with his wife and three children. For sixty years there had not been a case of illness in his family. His father and mother lived in the cottage before him; his father died at the age of and the mother at S9. He did not think that there could be much wrong with the cot tage in face of these facts. In reply to the clerk the old fellow said that personally he had never had a doctor, and the only time medical man had been In his cottage was when his lit- tie son had scalded his leg. Under tEe exceptional circumstances the council decided to adjourn the matter for further inquiries to be made.

GUNS IN NATIONAL SALUTE.

ENmus AtWd DhMEEGMI AlAbcWMChGs
 The question as to why the national salute consisted of twenty-one guns was put to one of the classes at Wash ington preparing young men for the entrance examinations for West Point and Annapolis, and, strange to say, not one of the ernbryotic generals or ad- mirals Init the nail on the head.
 The "coach," who knows American history away down underneath, fur nished the information that the na- tional salute, which is the international salute--that is. the salute given to a national fag-is fixed by army regu- the number appears to have been in conformity to the custom of foreign nations at the time when the number was so fixed.
 is in army regulations of 1912, which was in conformity to the number of States comprising the Union. then Slsnieeaa pSi nna ,n fsa tsss hsw one, which was at that date the num- Der of States in the Union, and which was at the same time. in accordanee Brittany, which fixed twenty-on guns to be fired as a salute on the anni- versary days of the birth, accession and coronation of the King, the birth of the Queen, the restoration of Charles II and the Gunpowder Treason.
 At that date the national salute in France was also fixed at twenty-one guns, to be fired only on Corpus Christi day and on the Kings birthday.
 It is proper to remark, however, that the national salute of twenty-one guns at the present time appears to be pe- Britain, inasmuch as the national sa- lute of France is 101 guns; of Germany thirty three guns, and that the superla- tive salute in the United States is that each State in the Union, and 1t is called the salute to the Union.

 we stiIl contend" said MT. Deimas, that this witness was acting in the capacity of attorney to this girl. It is not for him by his word to deny such a relation. However we will reserve that obtection.r
 MT. Delmas then turned to the ques- tion of the admissibility of evidence contradicting the statements of a Wit ness made out of court.
 MT. DeImas referred to certain au- thorities which were cited by Dfstrlct Attorney Jerome yesterday In support of the admissibiiity of such testimony and said he was amazed 10 find that one of the decisions mentioned states exactly the reverse of what the learn ed District Attorney announced. Much of what the district attorney said yes terday, Mr. DeImas said, was obJec- tionable, "but I allowed him to talk or much that Is not In the evidence here and that might have been objected to, because I was willing to trust to the fair mirdedness of this jury, which is my only protection"
 MT. Delmas then took up the question which MT. ,Jerome asked MT. Hummel and said it Is objected to clause by clause. and explained where, In his opinion. each one was objectionable. The question called for reply from Hum mel as to what Miss Nesbit told him In his office--as to whether she told him Thaw had stripped and beaten her and that the charges against White as to her ruin were not true.
 Mir. Deimas brought his argument to close by asking that the court rule out Hummeps testimony as improper and having. no bearing on the ease.
 Mir Jerome answered Mir. Delmas briefly, claiming that as Mrs. Thaw's statements on the stand were direct and positive he must be allowed to controvert them.
 After the arguments were concluded Justice fitzgerald said:
 'gFhe cases cited are not proper au- thority on the question under consider ation. The objection must be sustain ed"

GOVERNOR cONIER ACTS
 ON THE UNWRITTEN LAW.
He Killed M. W. Bass by Firing at
 Him Through Window.
His Victim Had Led innocent Girl From Pashs of Rectitade. After He Had Been Befrienaed by Father---Girl Plead for
 Mercy for Him.

The unwritten law had official cog ntzance by Governor Conner yesterday when he pardoned w F. Shi1l because he killed man for seducfng his SIX teen year old daughter" :.
 shiil had murdered M. ". Bass Tn Bibb county to avenge his daughter who accused Bass of having ruined her, and upon. his conviction in September, 1903. was sentenced to the penitentiary for fifteen years.
 shill in taking vengeance, fired through a window, killing Bass- He did not deny the crime and even Tn his petition for pardon declared that he could not have lived or died happily without having killed the rialA inaeea, in one letter he Wrote that 5he' would be satiofied to remain in prison except that his wife and children were, since his incarceration, dependent upon char ity for the necessities of life.
 The old. but pathetic story of the fall Is told with touching simplicity in a letter the girl wrote her rather on December s1. 1902, from Tuscaloosa, hide her disgrace.
 T will tell you who it was tnat caused me to do as I have done and hone my dear papa and God VIII Ior- give me. But I was persuaded to com mil the shameful sin. He and were eucra Hed and ne tolu me thd~ were to be married as soon as ne could bet sufficient money"
 Then follows narration or the wiies the man used against her.

Then, at the very last of the letter. as if she could not sooner bring persen to his name. she wrote that 1t was Mi. M. W.

 According to statements made by shilI. Bass had acted with the basest Ineratitude. shill said he had gotten a nosition for Bass and had fntrodue- ed him Into the Shlll home. where ne had made the acquaintance of the girl he is said to have ruined. Shill wrote tenderly of his daughter, who, he said, was pure and innocent until she met her betrayer.

JEWS ON THE FARM.
Colony in Ashley, N. D.. Prospecting At
 Beginnfng of Third Year.

Colony in Ashley, N. D.. Prospecting At
 Beginning of Third Year. Chicago Chronicle.
 The Jewish problem is beginning to solve itself. The practicality of Zion ism is to all indications still far dis tant, but those who treat the Jewish problem as an economic one are already seeing results.
 The Jewish colony which was start ed near Ashley. N. D., in September, 1905, is prospecting wonderfully. At that time twelve families moved to the colony and since then 1t has grown rapidiy There are now thirty-two Minneapolis families there who have taken homesteads. They are proving daily that the Jews make as good farm CTS as students, vindicating that they are willing workers, and many of them would have long been "tilLers Of the soil" had they but had the opportuni- ty.
 Louis wolfson and Isidor Auerbach were sent to New York city as dele gates from this colony in order to ob- tain aid from the Jewish and Indus trial Aid Society, whose headauarters are there.
 They remained there three weeks negotiating with the business commit tee and are to be congratulated on their success. They obtained $27.000 to help the colony and the settlers. Last spring they found 1t difficult to break In the land. for they were hamp- cred, not having sufficient machinery and horses. But next spring they wiii bo fully equipped.
 They have a sochet there and ser- vices were held during the holidays last fall
 Louis Wolfson says: T. without help of any kind, broke in twenty-six acres of land, built a shack 44x34. consisting of two rooms. a barn 26x29. fenced in a pasture of forty-four acres. built a chicken coop SKIS. raised 200 chickens. dug a we'll fffty-four feet deep, be- sides caring for four cows and four teen head of cattle.
 what I have done does not com pare with what some of the others have accomplished, and. moreover, there Is not one of them but who is an indus- trous and earnest worker.
 'On account of the severe weather they have suffered from lack of fuel and fodder for the cattle. Otherwise they have had sufficient provisions"
 Similar colonies have been started in Canada, wisconsin and North and South Dakota. At present there are about 1,0e0 Jewish farmers in the United States. Many of the Jews who are packed Into the New York ghetto are beginning to stir. They express ed their intentions of coming out west and setting on homesteads.

new ROAD TOOL
Something That IS Said to Beat
the split Log Drag Into the
Middle of Next Week :,

Alexandria has a new road tool
which surpasses in eficiency the
much talked of split log drag. It is
formed of two eight,or ten inch planks
about ten feet longsset edgewise, 'aA"'
fashion. The planks are hinged at
the apex Of the "A" and are fastened
together near the rear ends and
about the middle with cross pieces ar
ranged so that the angle can be made
greater or less at will The under
side of the planks 4are faced with
iron plates. The ends Of the planks
which are fastened together are slop-'
ing up so as to leave an opening un-
derneath, says the Post-News.
The rear cross piece is about three
feet from the end Of the side pieces.
The chain toswhich the team is bitch.
ed is fastened to the side pieces
where this cross piece joins them. In
place of pulling the drag point for
ward as abe old "a" drag was pulled,
it is reversed and pulled open end.
first. The, iron plated sides Of the
drag cut OF the uough places and I'LL
the ruts, letting the small amount of
surplus dirt run out OF the apex of the
drag where the side pieces are bev-.
eled. The drag was tried on the
Aberle road south of town Friday
and worked to a charm. The grade
was left hard and smooth. The drag
is so arranged that one side may be
taken of and a piece put in contain
ing drag teeth where it is desirable
to drag the road before scraping it.
In that manner driving one way will
scrape that portion of the road which
was dragged going the other way.
The drag is the invention of and Ii
manufactured by William Andrew,
who lives near Lowry. Some time ago
