Cromwell's Early Years.

From st. Nicholas
Cromwells college career was short-lived,
cut off after the first year by the death of
his father. The lad hurried home to the
funeral Of his parent, who was buried be-
side the golden knight. Oliver at eighteen
was now the head Of his branch of the
house, with a widowed mother and six
sisters more or less dependent upon him, so
1t behooved him to fit himself as quickly
as possible for career. He accordingly
went to London to gain general knowl-
edge of the law. His cares do not seem

two years later he undertook RESPONSE
bilities by marrying. in Cripplegate Church,
Miss Elizabeth Bourchier. Bride and groom
went back to Huntingdon to live, as is sup
posed, with his mother. Then for nearly
ten years history gives no picture of
him, but 1t is easy to imagine him well oc-
cupied with his duties; with farming his
lands; with yeomanry drills in which he
took vital interest, as his uncle and
grandfather had before him. In 1923 Crom-

Special Correspondence of The Star.

PARIS. June Z, 1907.
At the famous old Seine-side restaurant
by the bridge of Poissy. the proprietor will
buy six trays of giant strawberries, straight
from the Belgian lighthouses. If all goes
we'll your bill contains: Strawberries, So
for four persons 1t IS 10 cents a straw
berry You have not. counted-but the
waiter has.
But comes a rainy day. with business
slack. The proprietor sits down and eats
a trayful of awberries They are not
lost. You will find them in your bill, Jumped
with the ones you eat-"StraWberries, So
for four persons
"StrawberrIes are scarcer" he will tran
gully inform you. So they are-at Poissy.
Scarce-and always just enough The
service automobile now brings to a hundred
lovely stage-settings round Paris the fruits,
flowers and fairy cookery formerly asso-
ciated only with the boulevard. Their new
asparagus, elephants, tiny carrots. green
pease, fresh mushrooms, cucumbers little
squashes called courgettes. tiny string
beans of dainty dark green. moriles fun
gus for delicious favorngs and feshy, firm
tomatoes are the pick of the Paris central
markets.
Expensive Dainties.
1t is the season for expensive apricotS and
cracking green almonds. Cherries are COM
mon; but not when brought in growing on
their little trees, to pick and eat thereof.
And it is curious to find them served with
raspberries and new grapes! Forced peaches
and nectarines from so cents up to $3.50
apiece are served in their original trays,
like jewelry; but it is round the early melon
that clings the Partisan romance and folly!
They are to our muskmelons as the mod
ern tomato to the primitive love apple. They
are artificial, coaxed beneath glass bells
to swelling juciness and perfume by
monomaniacal gardener. OF rind there is but
film of tender green gray. then the mass
of salmon-pink pulp almost without seeds,
ave- soother than the creamy curd and
tinct with cinnamon. From silken SamaTc-
and to cedard Lebanon there are no such
high-priced. tempting. juicy, melting, frag-
rant gripers!
They range in size from your head IN the
evening to your head in the morning and
cost anything from 81 apiece down, at the
market Yesterday. at Bellevue, In the hills
of Msudon a pretentious English couple
laughed at the Partisan habit of beginning
lunch with melon; but

The Sniff Case

Logan. Iowa, Sep. 3, 1907. -
All of Tuesday was devoted to
securing the jury for the trial
of the case, State VS. A. H.
Sniff, and when at $50 o'clock
the panel was completed
court adjourned until Wednes-
day morning when the prosecu-
tion will introduce it's evidence.
1t took considerable time to
examine all of the jurors as in
all murder cases or in cases
where the sentence can be for
life term, each side to the liti-
cation is entitled to ten per-
emptory challenges instead of
but six as is usual in law ac-
tions.
M. M. Acrea, a resident of
La Grange township when ex-
amined by Kellogg developed
that he was a distant relative
of the Brundige family, he
having married a sister to the
wife OF the son of j. G. Brun-
dige. Kellogg objected but his
objection was met with an ex-
ception and Judge Green, after
deliberating on the question at
the noon hour agreed with
Kellogg and Acrea was excused.
VIM. Nordeen, of Mo. Valley,
was also excused on an OBJ
lection of Attorney Kellogg as
he admitted having a fixed
opinion as to the merits of the
case and was not certain that
testimony could shake it.
The jury which will try Sniff
is composed of X. z. Oden, Lit
tie Sioux; B. Chamberlain,
Jefferson; Lloyd Swain Pisgah;
G. A. Swanger, Cass; j. T.
Smith, Boyer; Chas. Rees, Lin
coin; Henry Moores, Douglas;
w. P. Simons, La Grange; T. j

rison; w. H. Avis, St. John;

Brundige and a number of wit
nesses were there.

ing the Raymond school, only
two and one-half miles from

of the best schools in the coun-
try districts.
